British Prime Minister Boris Johnson fined for lockdown-breaching party

UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson has been fined for the lockdown-breaching party hosted in 2020

British Prime Minister Boris Johnson has rejected calls to stand down after he was fined for breaking his own Covid lockdown laws.

Fines were issued to Johnson and Chancellor Rishi Sunak, who were both given fixed-penalty notices for attending the Prime Minister’s birthday celebration at Downing Street on June 19, 2020.

The gathering took place in the cabinet room, with Met Police now confirming a total of 50 infringements have been issued.

It’s believed Johnson and Sunak are the first sitting prime minister and chancellor to be criminally sanctioned.

Opposition Labour leader Sir Keir Starmer says “Britain deserves better” calling for both leaders to resign immediately.

Sunak has made no immediate comment following the fines being issued, stirring speculation he may actually stand down following a disastrous week of scandals.

The Chancellor has come under fire after details of his wealthy wife’s tax affairs came under scrutiny.

If he did resign, some analysts say this would put huge pressure on Johnson to follow suit.

So-far, Johnson has issued a a “full apology” rejecting calls to quit as further investigations continue.

In a statement Johnson says he “humbly accepts” he has broken the rules, but claims the gathering lasted less than 10 minutes and it “did not occur” to him that the event was wrong.

Iran buries nuclear site entrances amid rising tensions with the U.S.

Published

on

Satellite images reveal that Iran has buried all three tunnel entrances at its Isfahan nuclear complex. Analysts say the move mirrors defensive preparations taken before U.S. airstrikes devastated the facility last year, with no vehicle or personnel activity visible around the entrances.

The burial appears aimed at limiting damage from potential airstrikes and complicating any ground raid targeting enriched uranium stored in the underground facility. Experts suggest equipment or materials may have been moved into the tunnels for protection, though this remains unconfirmed.

The fortification comes amid ongoing U.S.-Iran tensions. President Trump has demanded Iran curb its nuclear program, warning of military action, while Tehran insists halting uranium enrichment is unacceptable. Recent indirect talks in Oman showed little progress toward a new deal.

Trump hints at military pressure as U.S. and Iran resume nuclear talks

US-Iran restart nuclear talks in Oman amid cautious optimism, while Trump considers military escalation and Israel demands stricter missile terms.

US-Iran restart nuclear talks in Oman amid cautious optimism, while Trump considers military escalation and Israel demands stricter missile terms.

The United States and Iran have returned to the negotiating table in Oman, marking a fresh attempt to ease escalating nuclear tensions between the two long-time rivals. President Donald Trump described the talks as promising, suggesting momentum toward further discussions.

Iran’s Foreign Minister echoed cautious optimism, calling the meetings a positive first step while acknowledging deep-seated trust issues remain unresolved. At the heart of the talks is a major sticking point — the White House’s insistence that Iran dismantle its nuclear capability entirely.

Iran, however, maintains it has a sovereign right to enrich uranium, setting the stage for difficult negotiations ahead as both sides test whether diplomacy can hold.
