What to know about the Iran war today:
o Iran has offered a new proposal for a second round of peace talks with the U.S. after the Trump administration rejected a previous offer delaying negotiations over Iran's nuclear program. The new offer comes as a senior Iranian commander warns any new U.S. attacks will draw "sustained, wide-ranging, and painful retaliation."

o Mr. Trump argued again Friday that the U.S. has "already won" the war and said he was "not satisfied" with the new Iranian deal. But as he considers his next move in the costly nine-week conflict, he said he wants to "win by a bigger margin" and ensure...More

President Trump said Friday that he's hiking tariffs on cars and trucks imported from the European Union to 25%, accusing the EU of failing to comply with a deal struck last year.

"I am pleased to announce that, based on the fact the European Union is not complying with our fully agreed to Trade Deal, next week I will be increasing Tariffs charged to the European Union for Cars and Trucks coming into the United States," the president wrote on Truth Social. "The Tariff will be increased to 25%."

Last summer, the U.S. and the EU reached an agreement under which the U.S. imposed a 15% tariff on imports of European cars, pharmaceuticals and other products.

The president said the levy won't apply for vehicles produced in the U.S. Heavy-duty trucks already have a 25% tariff rate.

"It is fully understood and agreed that, if they produce Cars and Trucks in U.S.A. Plants, there will be NO TARIFF,"...More

The Lakers' offense has stalled in the last two games, and L.A. is in jeopardy of blowing a 3-0 series lead

After Houston's practice on Tuesday, Jabari Smith Jr. called the Rockets "obviously the better team" in their first-round matchup with the Los Angeles Lakers. On paper, it's a strange thing for a player to say when trailing 3-1 in a series that his team entered as heavy favorites, and it's the sort of bulletin board material that can get a rise out of opposing players.

"I'm too old for this shit," LeBron James said in response after Game 5.

It's hard to argue too much with Smith's point. The Lakers are still without Luka Don?i?, and Austin Reaves wasn't great in his Game 5 return. Houston has played largely without Kevin Durant in this series and will do so again in Game 6, but as the far younger, deeper team, the...More

David Allan Coe, the country singer-songwriter who wrote the working class anthem "Take This Job and Shove It" and had hits with "You Never Even Called Me By My Name" and "The Ride" among others, has died, a representative for Coe confirmed to CBS News. He was 86.

Coe died in a hospital around 5 p.m. Wednesday, his manager David Wade confirmed to CBS News in a statement Thursday. The cause of death wasn't disclosed.

"He was a complicated man, an outlaw, and a great Songwriter, Singer, and Showman," Coe said. "He had fans from around the world and appreciated them all."

Coe's wife, Kimberly Hastings Coe, told Rolling Stone he was one of the best singers and songwriters of our time.

"My husband, my friend, my confidant and...More

The co-founder of the fashion brand Superdry was convicted Friday of rape after a night of drinking.

James Holder, 54, was found guilty by a jury in Gloucester Crown Court of one count of rape but acquitted of a separate charge of assault by penetration for the May 2022 assault.

Holder had been out for drinks at Gin and Juice, a bar in Cheltenham, England, with colleagues and friends when he became "intoxicated," a witness told the court, BBC News reported.

The witness said she hailed a taxi for Holder and his friend to take them to Holder's home before hailing a second taxi to take the accuser home, BBC News reported. The witness said Holder told her: "I am not going home."

The accuser said...More

British Prime Minister Keir Starmer was heckled Thursday during a visit to North London, a day after two Jewish men were wounded in a stabbing attack — the latest in a series of incidents that one of Starmer's cabinet members has called an antisemitism emergency.

As he arrived in the Golders Green neighborhood, which has long been a hub of the British Jewish community, to meet members of the emergency services, loud booing could be heard and some residents shouted insults including "traitor" and "coward."

A string of recent attacks, including arson targeting synagogues and other Jewish sites, has raised...More

A silver coin dating back to the Viking Age is among thousands recently unearthed in Norway. Innlandet County Municipality

Metal detectorists in Norway unearthed a trove of ancient coins dating back to the Viking Age — the largest of its kind ever found in the country.

"This is a historic find," said Andreas Bjelland Eriksen, Norway's climate and environment minister, in a statement that described its links to the Vikings as "even more spectacular" and added "the whole of Norway deserves to experience" it.

The coins were discovered in a field near the Norwegian village of Rena, according to Innlandet County municipal officials. Innlandet County includes a rural area where two private citizens located a smaller collection of 19 silver coins on April 10, triggering the wider archaeological probe that uncovered thousands more.

More than 3,150 coins had been...More

The Pentagon is planning to withdraw about 5,000 American forces from Germany, senior defense officials said Friday.

The officials characterized the move as a signal of President Trump's discontent with the level of assistance that European allies have offered in the U.S.-Iran war. Mr. Trump has publicly criticized German Chancellor Friedrich Merz and the leaders of other NATO member states for not getting directly involved in the U.S.'s military campaign against Iran.

The U.S. military has a massive presence in Germany dating back to the aftermath of World War II and the Cold War. More than 36,000 active duty troops were assigned to bases throughout Germany as of last December, along with nearly 1,500 reservists and 11,500 civilians, according to Defense Department figures.

Japan is the only foreign country with a larger presence of U.S. troops.

Germany is also home to the...More
