 Trump threatens Iran with major strikes and warns of potential control of oil infrastructure as regional conflict escalates  President Donald Trump said Thursday that the United States would strike Iran “VERY HARD TONIGHT,” escalating already heightened tensions as both sides continue exchanging attacks across the region. In a social media post, Trump also threatened to “assume total control” of Iran’s oil and gas infrastructure, including the key Kharg Island export terminal, describing potential action “in the not too distant future.” The warning came as U.S. and Iranian forces traded fire for a second straight day, marking the third major escalation in less than a week following earlier clashes involving Iran, Israel, and U.S. forces stationed across multiple countries. The ongoing exchanges have pushed the region closer to a wider conflict, while diplomatic efforts appear increasingly strained. Trump said Iran would “pay the price” for stalled negotiations, while Iranian ...

Hong Kong activist Jimmy Lai to receive sentencing following national security conviction
      
 Hong Kong pro-democracy activist and media mogul Jimmy Lai is scheduled to be sentenced on Monday following his conviction in a high-profile national security case that has drawn global scrutiny and highlighted Beijing’s tightening control over dissent in the territory.
Lai, 78, faces the possibility of a life sentence. He is one of China’s most prominent critics and has been a vocal advocate for press freedom in Hong Kong. International human rights groups and foreign governments have criticized the case as politically motivated, warning it signals a shrinking space for free expression in the former British colony, which returned to Chinese sovereignty in 1997. Advocates for press freedom say the verdict will have far-reaching consequences beyond Lai himself.
Lai has spent more than 1,800 days in custody, much of it in solitary confinement, raising concerns about his health. Hong Kong authorities maintain that he has received proper medical care and that his isolation was requested. He was first arrested in 2020, shortly after Beijing enacted a sweeping national security law following months of anti-government protests in 2019. Authorities argue the law was needed to restore stability and insist Lai’s prosecution is unrelated to press freedom.
The charges against Lai include conspiring to publish seditious articles and conspiring to lobby foreign governments to impose sanctions or other measures against China and Hong Kong. His conviction followed an 855-page verdict citing his interactions with senior U.S. officials, including meetings with former Vice President Mike Pence, Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, national security adviser John Bolton, and members of Congress during the 2019 protests. Lai has pleaded not guilty.
Also scheduled for sentencing on Monday are six former Apple Daily journalists and two activists who had testified against Lai. Many of them pleaded guilty in hopes of reduced sentences. Lai had previously been convicted on separate charges, including fraud and unlawful assembly, and in December 2022, he was sentenced to nearly six years in prison in the fraud case.
This trial marks one of the most prominent applications of Hong Kong’s national security law, and observers say the outcome will send a critical message about the future of independent journalism and dissent in the territory.
