Iran's reaction to President Trump's 2026 State of the Union was straightforward. The Iranian Foreign Ministry accused Mr. Trump of repeating "big lies" about the Islamic Republic's nuclear program and the death toll from its crackdown to end anti-government protests in January.
As the two countries prepare for another round of negotiations over Iran's contested uranium enrichment program — with the threat of U.S. military action looming over the talks — Iranian officials dismissed Mr. Trump's claims that they are working to develop a nuclear weapon, accusing him of trying to "repeat a lie often enough until it becomes the...More

Ford is recalling almost 413,000 Explorers due to a defect that could cause drivers to lose steering control, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration says. The model years involved are 2017-2019.

The NHTSA says dealers will replace the toe links for free, and letters notifying owners about the recall are expected to be mailed on March 9. Owners can contact Ford Customer Service at...More

Indonesia freed and deported an American man Tuesday after he spent 11 years in prison for the premeditated murder of his then-girlfriend's mother on the tourist island of Bali.
Tommy Schaefer was sentenced to 18 years in prison for the 2014 murder of Sheila von Wiese-Mack, the mother of Heather Mack, during a luxury vacation in a case also known as the Bali "suitcase murder."
Schaefer was deported back to the United States from Bali International Airport on Tuesday evening after serving his sentence and receiving a number of remissions for good behavior, said Felucia Sengky Ratna, head of the Bali Regional Office of the Directorate...More

Savannah Guthrie Calls for Prayer ‘Without Ceasing’ and Announces $1 Million Reward
NBC host Savannah Guthrie has announced a $1 million reward for information leading to her mother's safe return, pleading for continued prayers and acknowledging the possibility of a tragic outcome.

NBC host Savannah Guthrie issued an emotional, faith-filled plea Tuesday for the return of her mother, acknowledging she may already be “gone” and “dancing in heaven,” while urging anyone with information to come forward as she announced a new $1 million reward.
Nancy Guthrie was kidnapped outside her home in the early hours of Feb. 1 and has not been seen since, with few new clues emerging in recent days and hope fading as the search entered its 24th day Tuesday.
The biggest development this weekend came with reports that photos of a masked man captured by a doorbell camera may have been taken on different nights – raising the possibility he visited the front porch more than once. Citing a source, Arizona’s 13 News...More

Team USA's Jack Hughes may have netted the game-winner against Canada, but a photographer captured an indelible moment of her own — an iconic photo of his gap-toothed grin after securing the first U.S. men's hockey Olympic gold medal since 1980.
"I just was kind of just doing my job. It wasn't until maybe well after the event that I thought, okay, that that could be pretty iconic, pretty cool," Getty Images sports staff photographer Elsa Garrison, who snapped the image after Sunday's game, told CBS News 24/7 from Milan.
The photo shows Hughes, fist pumped, draped in an American flag, with a bloodied mouth and chipped front teeth. It's the kind of picture that will likely go down in history.

American Airlines 737 plane found with apparent bullet hole after flight from Miami to Colombia
![]()
An American Airlines plane was found with an apparent bullet hole while in Colombia on Monday, according to sources familiar with the matter and documents reviewed by CBS News.
The hole was located in the right wing of a 737 MAX 8 aircraft after it flew from Miami, Florida, to Medellín on Sunday evening as flight 923. After landing, the ground crew reported a puncture "that extends all the way through the right-hand aileron," documents reviewed by CBS News said. It's unclear when or where the damage occurred.
Sources say the damage is consistent with an apparent bullet strike. There is an entry point that left a small round hole in one side of the aileron as well as damage at the likely exit point on the other side. The apparent bullet hole was first reported by airline blogger JonNYC on X.
