🚨12 HOUR NEWS RECAP
1. Pope Francis’ funeral was held in the Vatican in front of 200,000 people, including world leaders. His coffin was then taken to the church of Santa Maria Maggiore in Rome for burial.
2. Before the funeral, Trump and Zelensky held a brief meeting, with a longer one to follow after the funeral. The 15-minute meeting was described as a "very productive discussion" by the White House.
3. Trump said they were very close to a deal to bring the war in Ukraine to an end after his special envoy, Steve Witkoff, held a 4th round of talks with Putin in Moscow.
4. A massive explosion ripped through the Rajai Port dock in Bandar Abbas, Iran. A fuel tank reportedly detonated, damaging most of the port’s buildings and causing a "chaotic situation" on the ground. Local reports suggest many people were killed and over 200 injured, with security and rescue forces scrambling to regain control.
5. Iran and the U.S are meeting in Oman for further discussions on a nuclear deal. Iran's Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi is negotiating indirectly with Trump's envoy Steve Witkoff through Omani mediators, a week after talks in Rome that both sides described as constructive.
6. A Hamas official said the group is ready to release all hostages in Gaza under a deal to end the war. The proposal includes a full hostage release and a 5-year truce to secure a lasting ceasefire.
7. Gunfire erupted again overnight along the Line of Control, with Indian forces accusing Pakistan of "unprovoked" attacks across multiple posts. The latest clash follows the Pahalgam massacre, the worst civilian attack in Kashmir in a quarter-century, which India blames on Pakistan-backed terrorists.
8. Virginia Giuffre, whose brave testimony helped bring down Ghislaine Maxwell and forced Prince Andrew to settle a sexual abuse lawsuit, took her own life in Australia. The mother of 3 was one of the most outspoken survivors of Jeffrey Epstein’s sex trafficking network.
