28.09.2026 ⇢ The Day the Fairford Suspects Were Released on Bail
⌨

Trump said Iran talks could resume this week after rejecting Tehran's latest proposal, sending oil prices up. Tehran said the choice between diplomacy or war rested with Trump while warning of a doomsday response, and Bessent predicted sanctions would leave Iran with nothing to trade in two weeks.

Police identified the five men arrested near RAF Fairford as British nationals. Trump said they had been under U.S. surveillance and celebrated a thwarted attack, then criticized Britain after all five were released on bail.

Attention moved to a second taxpayer-funded television ad featuring Trump warning of a final battle, drawing bipartisan questions about legality as Trump campaigned for the midterms amid polling showing a new approval low.

The Cornell district attorney reopened the 2024 alleged fraternity gang-rape case after a lawsuit, while defending the earlier decision not to charge, as FBI co-deputy Andrew Bailey left the bureau.
