Vice President JD Vance told reporters to take what the Iranians say with a massive grain of salt on Monday, but that he believed the country’s theocratic leaders were not jerking him around during the marathon negotiating session they just wrapped up. Vance talked to reporters about the negotiations while standing in front of Air Force Two in Switzerland. One reporter noted Vance had said previously that you have to be cautious with Iran because their leaders don’t always act in “good faith.” The reporter then asked if “things changed over the past 36 hours” that would lead him to believe they were negotiating honestly. “No, all I mean is look, whether good faith or bad faith, you can’t trust anybody’s words, you have to trust what they actually do,” Vance said. “Letting in the inspectors is a big deal. But again, we’re seeing what they actually let the inspectors do once they’re in the country. That’s going to continually be part of our negotiations.” Vance added, “My point is not that I trust or distrust anybody; my point is that I trust actions. And what the president has asked us to do is verify what they’re doing, focus less on what they’re saying.” President Donald Trump has insisted that any deal with Iran will bar the country from ever obtaining a nuclear weapon. Vance earlier in the day said the U.S. made “major” progress towards a lasting deal with Iran during the weekend summit. “This is probably what we’re most excited about as Americans,” Vance said. “The Iranians have agreed to invite IAEA inspectors back into their country. That is a major milestone for the American people, and the first step in permanently denuclearizing or permanently ending a nuclear weapons program in Iran. And that’s exactly what we wanted to do. That’s exactly what we asked to happen.” He later told reporters the Iranians can be “extremely confusing” when it comes to negotiating, but that he believed “good progress” was made.

(Photo by Anthony Behar/Sipa USA)(Sipa via AP Images) CBS Evening News anchor Tony Dokoupil told The Wall Street Journal that he can’t relate to accusations of bias at the network as made by some of his former colleagues. In an article out Monday, Dokoupil put no credence in negative comments made by former 60 Minutes correspondents Scott Pelley, Sharyn Alfonsi, and Cecilia Vega about editor in chief Bari Weiss’s alleged interference in the newsroom. “Weiss’s takeover of CBS News and her editorial decision-making have led to spats with the network’s top talent that have spilled into public view,” the Journal reported. “The network recently parted ways with Sharyn Alfonsi, a ’60 Minutes’ correspondent who, in December, accused Weiss of holding a segment critical of the Trump administration for political reasons,” the article said, while “Pelley and Vega also accused management of making editorial decisions for political reasons, which a CBS spokesman denied.” Vega and the show’s executive producer were fired, as was network veteran Scott Pelley after he accused Weiss of “murdering” the famed news magazine. “When they make comments like that, I pay attention,” Dokoupil told the paper. “But I can only speak for what’s happening on this side of the street, and it’s not the experience that I’ve had.” Dokoupil was hand-picked by Weiss to lead the Evening News and hit some on-air rough patches early on. Snafus aside, “Dokoupil insists there are no tea leaves to read, at least as far as his program is concerned,” the report said. “When it comes to Bari Weiss, she’s the editor in chief, she runs a 9 a.m. meeting and has lots of ideas,” Dokoupil said. “When we like the idea, we use it. If we don’t and if it doesn’t work for our show, we don’t.” “Likewise, he said, ‘I’ve never met David Ellison,'” Dokoupil said of Paramount CEO and owner, whose billionaire father is a good friend of President Donald Trump. “He’s never had a comment about my show. He’s never called me to complain about coverage. If he tried to, it wouldn’t have an impact,” Dokoupil said.The post Tony Dokoupil Tells WSJ He Can’t Relate To Dismissed Colleagues’ Claims of Bias at CBS first appeared on Mediaite.

⚽️ Kick-off: 12pm local/1pm ET/6pm BST/3am Mon AEST⚽️ Player guide | Bracketology | Golden Boot | Mail DominicA Messi-related email has landed from David Wall:I’ve got to take issue with your description of Messi’s hat-trick in the opening game as brilliant. I’ll give you the third was high quality but the other two were pretty much chucked in by the Algerian goalkeeper. It’s the lowest value World Cup hat-trick since Harry Kane’s in 2018 against Panama (one header from about six yards, one penalty, and one that deflected off his heel when he was trying to get out of the way). Add in the fact that he was incredibly fortunate not to be sent off (presumably the VAR trained on footage from one of those old-fashioned all-village kickabouts), and I thought the hype about his performance was massively over the top. If Argentina are going to continue with their approach of tailoring the team to get the most out of Messi (even though Julián Álvarez is a much more effective forward now) then he’ll need to do a lot more than he showed against Algeria if they’re going to retain the trophy.

- Most Men’s World Cup Goals All Time: Messi Takes Over Top Spot In History
History has been rewritten. Lionel Messi has cemented his legacy as the greatest to ever play the game, adding the ultimate goal-scoring crown to an already legendary resume. After scoring against Austria on Monday afternoon, Messi recorded his 17th FIFA World Cup goal to become the all-time scoring leader in the men's tournament. He’s officially surpassed the long-standing record held by Germany’s Miroslav Klose. 1. Lionel Messi (Argentina): 17 Messi's four goals at the 2026 World Cup has now given him the record. Messi has played in every World Cup since 2006 and scored in all but one (2010). He scored seven goals at the 2022 World Cup and is already at three in 2026. Messi is also Argentina's all-time leading goalscorer with 122 to his name and additionally holds the record for most World Cup matches played with 28. 2. Miroslave Klose (Germany): 16 Playing in four straight World Cups from 2002 to 2014, Klose scored in all four editions of the World Cups he participated in and capped it off by lifting the trophy in 2016. His 71 goals for Germany are also the most in the national team's history. 3. Ronaldo (Brazil): 15 Many consider Ronaldo the greatest striker of all-time, as he scored more than 350 goals in club play and 62 for Brazil. Fifteen of those international goals came in the World Cup, en route to winning the Golden Ball in the 1998 tournament and the Golden Boot in 2002. T-4. Kylian Mbappé (France): 14 Mbappé has scored an outrageous 14 goals in just 15 World Cup matches in his career. As a 19-year-old in 2018, he scored four goals for France, helping it win its first title since 1998, and then he scored eight goals in 2022 — most notably netting the second hat trick in a World Cup final ever against Argentina. T-4. Gerd Müller (Germany): 14 Arguably the greatest Bundesliga goalscorer of all-time, Müller scored an astonishing 10 goals in 1970 and then another four in 1974 in Germany's title run. He was Germany's all-time leading goalscorer with 68 goals until Klose passed him. 6. Just Fontaine (France): 13 Fontaine holds one of the most incredible stats in World Cup history, as all 13 of his goals came in the 1958 edition of the tournament — the record for most goals scored by a player at a single World Cup. It's been… [TheTopNews] Read More.2 hours ago - ‘Extremely Confusing’: JD Vance Warns Media Not to Read Into Enigmatic Irani...Vice President JD Vance urged the media not to read into the behavior of the “extremely confusing” Iranian negotiators he’s been dealing with on Monday after fielding a question about whether he had been snubbed. Vance made the comments while taking questions from reporters in Switzerland. “Sir, very quickly, there was a moment yesterday when [Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas] Araghchi came into the room and did not greet you, you guys did not shake hands, and then he walked out of the room. Did you feel snubbed by that?” asked one journalist. “Did you feel it was an intentional move on their part? How did you interpret what happened?” “No, I mean I-, trust me, I’ve spent a lot of time dealing with the Iranians over the last few months. Sometimes I find them extremely confusing as negotiators. But look, we had a little press conference, they obviously don’t quite have the same First Amendment protections in Iran that we have in the United States of America. We talked to you guys and then had a series of really good meetings. What I did find kind of funny is that after that initial meeting, there was this, you know, sort of social media firestorm where everybody said the Iranians are going to leave, and then we proceeded to talk to them for like the next nine hours. So I would just encourage the media, mistrust a little bit what you see coming out of Iranian social media. They can be confusing negotiators, but we feel like we’re making progress.” Watch above via Fox News.The post ‘Extremely Confusing’: JD Vance Warns Media Not to Read Into Enigmatic Iranian Leaders’ Behavior first appeared on Mediaite.
