Here’s the biggest news you missed this weekend

President Donald Trump announced on Saturday that the United States would temporarily halt military operations against Iran, citing the completion of a deal that would address Tehran's nuclear program and restore access to the Strait of Hormuz. The decision came amid heightened tensions in the Middle East, with the State Department urging American citizens in the region to evacuate or prepare for rapid departure due to escalating conflict. Trump stated that while the U.S. remained "locked and loaded and ready to go," he had agreed to suspend attacks "subject to being able to rapidly make a DEAL." He emphasized that Israel shared this commitment. The agreement reportedly followed discussions with Iranian leaders and other Middle Eastern nations, though details remain scarce. The White House did not immediately release specifics of the deal, focusing instead on the broader implications for regional stability. The move comes as part of ongoing efforts to de-escalate hostilities between the U.S. and Iran, which have flared in recent months over issues including Iran's ballistic missile program and its influence in Iraq and Syria. Meanwhile, wildfires continued to wreak havoc across multiple regions. In Washington state, a blaze near Spokane has already damaged more than 600 structures, with authorities estimating the fire at 5,390 acres. Officials are still assessing the full extent of the damage, including how many of the affected buildings were residential, commercial, or educational. The fires, known collectively as the Spokane Area Fires, are being treated as three distinct incidents: the Old Trails Fire, the Fairview Fire, and the Autumn Lane Fire. In Europe, the situation with wildfires shifted as large-scale evacuations concluded in parts of France. A massive fire in southwestern France was contained, enabling approximately 198,000 residents to return home. However, new blazes emerged in other areas, forcing additional evacuations in both France and Greece. In Greece, two firefighting helicopters collided while battling wildfires west of Athens, leading to a search-and-rescue operation for the crew in the Psatha area. Domestically, political developments unfolded as well. During an appearance on NBC News' "Meet the Press," Senator John Kennedy of Louisiana expressed concerns over the proposed "anti-weaponization" fund, stating he would not support it as a "blank check" for potential misuse. He also reiterated that individuals involved in the January 6, 2021, Capitol riot should not benefit from such funding. In a separate segment, Senator Bernie Sanders of Vermont praised progressive Michigan Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed, calling him essential to the Senate race and criticizing the nation's corrupt campaign finance system. Other notable political updates included President Trump's criticism of U.S. Attorney Jeanine Pirro in Washington, D.C., after she dropped charges against a former Olympic canoeist accused of damaging the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool. Trump questioned her judgment, suggesting she had "no idea what she was thinking." Additionally, Trump indicated he would reinstate the "anti-weaponization" fund if Todd Blanche's nomination for attorney general was rejected. Meanwhile, Senator Bernie Moreno of Ohio called for the resignation of his former son-in-law, Representative Max Miller, following abuse allegations made by Miller's ex-wife, who is also Moreno's daughter. In a separate incident, an armed bystander potentially prevented further casualties during a shooting at an In-N-Out Burger in Twin Falls, Idaho. According to a witness, Lane Koehn, 34, observed a man with an AR-style rifle exiting the drive-thru and intervened by distracting the shooter, resulting in bullets striking a vehicle in front of him. This act of bravery highlights the unpredictable nature of such confrontations and the role of ordinary citizens in emergency situations.
