Military parade rolls through DC as 'No Kings' protesters across US decry Trump

WASHINGTON (AP) — The grand military parade that President Donald Trump wanted for eight years has barreled down Constitution Avenue in Washington with tanks, troops and a 21-gun salute. The celebration played out against the counterpoint of protesters around the country who decried the U.S. leader as a dictator and would-be king. The Republican president, on his 79th birthday, sat under a special viewing stand constructed south of the White House to watch the display of American military might. It was a procession he tried to put in his first term after wanting to top one he saw in France in 2017, but the plans never came together until it was added to an event recognizing the Army’s 250th anniversary.

Israeli strikes on Iran's nuclear program are sweeping but can they decimate it?

Israel’s sweeping attack across Iran struck at the heart of Tehran’s nuclear program, delivering a blow to the country’s ability to enrich uranium and potentially setting its nuclear ambitions back by months or years. As well as killing key military figures and nuclear scientists, the Israeli strikes destroyed part of a plant that was enriching uranium to levels far beyond the requirements for nuclear-fueled power stations. The attacks also destroyed backup power for the underground section of the plant, potentially damaging more sensitive equipment. Iran’s nuclear program has progressed rapidly since 2018, when the U.S. withdrew from a deal to limit Tehran’s capacity to enrich uranium.

Zelenskyy also expressed concern that renewed tensions in the Middle East could divert U.S. aid away from Ukraine, as has happened in the past. His remarks were made Friday and released under embargo on Saturday afternoon.
