Trump aseguró que avanzan las negociaciones de paz con Irán, pero que está listo para lanzar un ataque si no hay acuerdo

El presidente de Estados Unidos, Donald Trump, anunció este lunes que renunció a lanzar un ataque contra Irán previsto para el martes, en respuesta a una petición de líderes de países del Golfo Pérsico.
Además, aseguró que se están llevando a cabo “negociaciones serias” con Teherán.
Sin embargo, advirtió que Estados Unidos está preparado para lanzar un “ataque total, a gran escala contra Irán, de manera inmediata, en caso de que no se logre un acuerdo aceptable”, según un mensaje publicado en su red Truth Social.
Irán respondió a nueva propuesta de Washington
El posteo se conoció poco después que Irán respondió a una nueva propuesta estadounidense destinada a poner fin a la guerra.
Washington y Teherán intercambiaron propuestas para terminar con el conflicto desencadenado por los ataques de Estados Unidos e Israel contra la república islámica el 28 de febrero, pero solo llevaron a cabo un ciclo de conversaciones a pesar del precario alto al fuego.
“Como anunciamos ayer, nuestras preocupaciones fueron transmitidas a la parte estadounidense”, declaró en una rueda de prensa el portavoz del Ministerio de Relaciones Exteriores, Esmail Baqai.

El vocero añadió que los intercambios “continúan a través del mediador pakistaní”, pero sin ofrecer más detalles.
Las demandas de Irán incluyen cuatro puntos básicos, pero no menciona el futuro de los planes nucleares ni de sus misiles balísticos:
- La liberación de los activos iraníes congelados en el extranjero.
- El levantamiento de las sanciones de larga data.
- Que Estados Unidos pague reparaciones por una guerra “ilegal y sin fundamento”.
- La gestión del estratégico estrecho de Ormuz
Irán está “preparado” para un eventual enfrentamiento
Sobre la posibilidad de otro enfrentamiento militar, Baqai dijo que Irán está “totalmente preparado para cualquier eventualidad”.
La agencia de noticias iraní Fars informó el domingo que Washington había presentado una lista de cinco puntos, que incluía una exigencia de que Irán mantenga en funcionamiento únicamente un sitio nuclear y transfiera su reserva de uranio altamente enriquecido a Estados Unidos.

Estados Unidos se había negado a liberar “ni siquiera el 25%” de los activos congelados de Irán o a pagar reparaciones por los daños de la guerra, según Fars.
El informe señaló que Estados Unidos también había dejado claro que solo cesaría las hostilidades cuando Teherán participe en negociaciones de paz formales.

En una propuesta anterior, enviada la semana pasada, Irán había pedido el fin de la guerra en todos los frentes, incluida la campaña de Israel en Líbano, así como el cese del bloqueo naval estadounidense de los puertos iraníes vigente desde el 13 de abril.
También pedía el levantamiento de todas las sanciones estadounidenses contra Irán y la liberación de sus activos congelados en el extranjero.
La gestión del estrecho de Ormuz
Fars señaló que esa propuesta iraní puso énfasis en que Teherán seguiría gestionando el estratégico estrecho de Ormuz, que Irán ha mantenido en gran medida cerrado desde el inicio de la guerra.
El lunes, el máximo organismo de seguridad de Irán, el Consejo Supremo de Seguridad Nacional, anunció la formación de un nuevo órgano para gestionar el estrecho.
En su cuenta oficial de X, el Consejo Supremo de Seguridad Nacional compartió una publicación de la Autoridad del Estrecho del Golfo Pérsico (PGSA) en la que se indicaba que ofrecería “información en tiempo real sobre las operaciones” en este paso marítimo.
Por su parte, los Guardianes de la Revolución afirmaron que los cables de fibra óptica de Internet que atraviesan el estrecho también podrían quedar sujetos a un sistema de permisos.
“Tras la imposición del control sobre el estrecho de Ormuz, Irán, alegando su soberanía absoluta sobre el lecho y el subsuelo de sus aguas territoriales (…) podría declarar que todos los cables de fibra óptica que atraviesan la vía navegable están sujetos a permisos”, afirmó el ejército ideológico de la república islámica en redes sociales.

Walz administration ignored fraud warnings as billions vanished, House oversight report alleges

NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!
A Republican-led congressional oversight report alleges that senior Minnesota officials, including Gov. Tim Walz, D-Minn., failed for years to act on warnings about fraud in the state’s social services programs, allowing hundreds of millions of dollars in confirmed or alleged losses and placing billions more at risk.
The Walz administration had the power to stop fraudulent payments to high-risk entities receiving federal nutrition and Medicaid funds, but the state «repeatedly failed to act» after officials raised concerns, according to a 205-page final staff report released by the House Oversight Committee on Monday.
Congressional investigators found that concerns about potential racial discrimination claims — rather than legal constraints — contributed to the Walz administration’s decision to continue paying providers suspected of fraud. The committee also spoke to nearly 30 whistleblowers, some of whom accused the Walz administration of retaliation against state employees for sounding the alarm about potential fraud.
«Fraud warnings were elevated to the most senior levels of the Minnesota state government, meaningful corrective action was delayed or avoided, and payments continued long after credible signs of fraud emerged,» the report reads in part.

OWNER OF DAYCARE IN VIRAL NICK SHIRLEY VIDEO CHARGED IN $4.6M DAYCARE FRAUD SCHEME, PROSECUTORS SAY
The committee found Minnesota is estimated to have lost $300 million in stolen federal nutrition funds intended to feed hungry children during the COVID-19 pandemic and that as much as $9 billion in Medicaid billing may have been fraudulent, an estimate attributed to a federal prosecutor and disputed by Walz administration officials.
Walz was allegedly aware of fraud associated with the now-defunct Feeding Our Future nonprofit that operated a constellation of fake meal sites as early as 2020, but payments continued flowing to the group for roughly two more years. The oversight panel also found Walz gave conflicting answers about when he first learned of the sweeping meal fraud.
Federal prosecutors have charged more than 110 individuals in connection with various fraud schemes in the state. Many defendants in the Feeding Our Future case have been identified as members of Minnesota’s Somali immigrant community, in connection with various fraud schemes in the state. Some of the convicted fraudsters used the stolen money for luxury purchases and state officials have investigated whether a portion of it was funneled overseas to aid terrorist groups in Somalia and the Middle East.
«Minnesota Governor Tim Walz and Attorney General Keith Ellison are responsible for one of the most stunning oversight failures this Committee has ever examined,» Comer said in a statement. «It is now clear the Walz Administration chose to protect the system rather than protect the taxpayer.»
The report caps a months long investigation into the Walz administration’s handling of widespread fraud, which began in late 2025 and included hearing testimony from Walz and Attorney General Keith Ellison as well as members of the Minnesota state legislature’s fraud committee. Nine current and former state officials also participated in transcribed interviews with congressional investigators.
The panel is also probing alleged health care fraud in California and Ohio as part of Republicans’ ongoing «war on fraud.»

MINNESOTA TAXPAYER DOLLARS FUNNELED TO AL-SHABAAB TERROR GROUP, REPORT ALLEGES
The committee sent a letter to Vice President JD Vance urging a full review of Minnesota’s social services programs for potential fraud vulnerabilities, following the report’s findings.
Vance’s anti-fraud task force has led to the arrest of at least eight people who allegedly participated in health care fraud schemes and the freezing of $1.3 billion in payments to home health and hospice providers suspected of defrauding the government.
Earlier this year, the Trump administration suspended nearly $260 million in federal Medicaid funding to Minnesota over the Walz administration’s alleged failure to crack down on fraud.
The Trump administration has also required states to show they are aggressively probing potential Medicaid fraud or risk losing federal funding.

The report also comes as the House is expected to consider a slate of fraud-prevention bills this week. Republicans have argued that new legislative tools are necessary to prevent fraud at the state level amid alleged inaction.
The federal government loses an estimated $233 billion to $521 billion annually to fraud, according to a 2024 Government Accountability Office report.

US adversaries China, North Korea strengthening ties as Xi, Kim set to begin talks

NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!
A pair of U.S. adversaries — China and North Korea — appear to be strengthening relations, with Chinese President Xi Jinping’s arrival in Pyongyang on Monday for a rare state visit.
This is Xi’s first trip to North Korea in seven years, and experts say the visit is likely aimed at reasserting China’s unique influence over North Korea in exchange for providing economic and political benefits.
Xi is scheduled to meet North Korean leader Kim Jong Un in what will be their first summit since September, when they met in Beijing after viewing a military parade alongside Russian President Vladimir Putin and other foreign leaders.
No specific agenda has been mentioned, but foreign experts predict the meeting to have a significant impact on bilateral ties and more, as both sides seek to fully restore their traditional alliance amid separate disputes with the U.S. government.

Xi’s trip comes after his back-to-back summits with U.S. President Donald Trump and Putin in Beijing last month. Xi plans to meet Trump again for a U.S. visit in September.
China has, for years, been North Korea’s economic lifeline and primary diplomatic backer. China has refrained from fully enforcing U.N. sanctions on North Korea and sent clandestine aid to support its impoverished neighbor.
This year marks 65 years since the two nations signed a mutual defense treaty.
Despite this, there have been questions about their ties in recent years, as North Korea has prioritized cooperation with Russia by supplying troops and weapons to support its war against Ukraine and received economic and military assistance from Moscow in return.
Experts warn that restoring China’s exclusive influence over North Korea would give Xi leverage with Trump, who has repeatedly expressed his wish to restart diplomacy with Kim.

Analysts said Xi would likely offer Kim economic aid packages such as shipments of rice and fertilizers, a resumption of Chinese group tourism to North Korea and joint economic projects.
Xi may also avoid the issue of denuclearization of North Korea, which wants to achieve international recognition as a nuclear weapons state, as a way to call for lifting of U.N. sanctions on North Korea, according to experts.
After last month’s summit between Trump and Xi, the U.S. government said the two leaders affirmed their shared goal to denuclearize North Korea.
But China only said the leaders spoke about the nuclear issue on the Korean Peninsula. Kim’s sister and senior official Kim Yo Jong dismissed the readout of the meeting as «false information.»

Last week, Kim unveiled a new plant to produce nuclear ingredients and pledged to bolster the country’s nuclear forces «at an exponential rate.» He also said he is seeking to speed up efforts to build a nuclear-armed navy.
On Sunday, Kim Yo Jong described a U.S. plan for the denuclearization of North Korea as an «escapist and anachronistic dream.»

Kim Jong Un has dismissed U.S. and South Korean offers for talks as he focuses on enlarging and modernizing his nuclear arsenal. The North Korean leader in September urged the U.S. to withdraw its demand for North Korea to denuclearize as a precondition for resuming diplomacy.
