U.S. President Donald Trump proclaimed that Washington has "militarily defeated" Tehran during a White House state dinner for King Charles III and Queen Camilla on Tuesday. Whilst Trump claimed the monarch also opposed a nuclear-armed Iran, King Charles avoided mentioning the ongoing Middle East conflict during the event.
Addressing the U.S. Congress on Tuesday, King Charles III delivered a message of unity, stressing that the UK and the U.S. remain staunch allies committed to defending democracy "whatever our differences." In his speech, the King highlighted the necessity of continued support for Ukraine and referenced the historical strength of NATO. The address - only the second by a British sovereign to Congress - sought to bridge the deepening diplomatic divide sparked by Britain's refusal to join the U.S.-led offensive against Iran.
Efforts to negotiate an end to the two-month U.S.-Iran conflict remained deadlocked after President Donald Trump dismissed Tehran's latest peace proposal, claiming the Iranian government is in a "state of collapse". The rejected offer proposed a phased ceasefire that prioritised ending hostilities and lifting the U.S. blockade on the Strait of Hormuz before addressing Tehran's nuclear programme - a timeline Trump refused.

In response, OpenAI's legal team painted Musk as a disgruntled former backer who sued only after failing to secure absolute control over the company.
