British Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer has condemned a series of suspected anti-Muslim attacks in Edinburgh that left five people injured, saying the suspects appeared to be motivated by “anti-Muslim hatred” and would face the full force of the law.Starmer wrote onA 36-year-old man has been charged in connection with a number of incidents in the Scottish capital on Friday.
Police Scotland said officers were first called to reports of an incident in the Sighthill area of Edinburgh at around 8.50pm on Friday, in which two men were injured near a mosque.The attack then spread to multiple locations in the west and north of the city, prompting a major police response. Authorities described the incidents as a rapidly evolving series of events.Five men – two aged 22 and the others aged 24, 27 and 39 – suffered varying degrees of injuries. Three people required hospitalization, but police said no injuries were life-threatening.
Videos shared on social media appeared to show a shirtless man carrying a large weapon causing damage to multiple locations.A taxi’s window was smashed at a petrol station on Telford Road, while CCTV from another petrol station on Ferry Road showed a man entering and knocking shelves to the ground.In Leithwark, staff at a pizza shop lowered security shutters when the suspect repeatedly struck the entrance with a weapon. Other videos appeared to show members of the public fleeing as the man walked through the area.The suspect was eventually detained by armed police. Police armed with Tasers confronted him and arrested him, but the devices did not fire.
Counter-terrorism officers involved in investigation
Police Scotland confirmed counter-terrorism officers are assisting with the investigation and the force is working under the direction of the Crown Office and the Procurator Fiscal Service.On Saturday night, police announced that a 36-year-old man had been charged in connection with the incidents.Police said: “The report has been submitted to the Procurator Fiscal and the person will appear in court in due course.”
Leaders condemn alleged hate attacks
Scotland’s First Minister John Swinney said he was “deeply concerned” by the violence. “Our country has no place for violence, racism or intolerance,” he wrote on X.Assistant Chief Constable Catriona Paton described the incidents as “shocking attacks” and stressed there was “no place for racism or faith-based hatred” in Scotland.
Muslim groups raise concerns
Community groups said several of the victims were from the Muslim community. The Mosques Association of Scotland said members of Muslim and minority ethnic communities had been targeted, while the Muslim Council of Britain said the community was “tense and concerned” following the incident.Police are urging anyone with information about the attack to come forward as investigations continue.

Iranian soccer team files complaint with FIFA over U.S. restrictions
The United States insists on travel restrictions for Iran’s World Cup team, White House officials overseeing the tournament have defended the measures and Iran’s football federation is filing a formal complaint with FIFA.Andrew Giuliani, executive director of the White House World Cup Task Force, told Reuters on Saturday that the current plan remains in place despite Iran’s objections. Teams can only travel to the venue within 24 hours of kickoff and must return to their training base in Tijuana, Mexico immediately after each game.Iran’s football federation announced on Thursday it would lodge a complaint with FIFA after its request to travel to Los Angeles two days before Sunday’s game against Belgium was denied. The team faced logistical hurdles throughout the tournament, with captain Mehdi Taremi saying a typical short charter flight from Tijuana to Los Angeles takes five hours and includes security and immigration checks.Giuliani said the team’s training base was moved from Tucson, Arizona, to Tijuana before the game, which actually reduced their travel time to Los Angeles. He also noted that all players and coaches were granted visas, but some team officials were denied due to what he called “derogatory messages.”The official emphasized that although no specific threats have been identified, security issues remain a top priority.
Head coach Amir Gallenois was sharply critical, describing his side as “the most pressed team in the entire World Cup”. He said the latest schedule gave his team less than 16 hours to prepare for the match against Belgium, forcing them to cut their usual training time in half.“Our training time is only half of the normal training time,” he told reporters.Giuliani pointed out that the restrictions are in line with FIFA regulations, which require state teams to travel to the venue the day before the game and return after the game. Some team officials and support staff are still unable to obtain U.S. visas.Iran will play its final group match against Egypt on June 26 in Seattle. Discussions about travel arrangements for this game will take place after Sunday’s game against Belgium.
Former FBI agent Jennifer Coffendaver reveals her theory Nancy Guthrie If it’s a “proxy spanner,” you may have been the target of a spanner attack. coffin Wanted to know before social media posts If the “wrench ring” is attached to Nancy’s box. Lisa J. Miller, a former law enforcement director for the Colorado Attorney General’s Office and a graduate of the FBI National Academy, has advanced a similar theory. She told Fox News Digital that the kidnapping had the hallmarks of a spanner attack.
‘If it was an agent’s wrench, how did Nancy become a target?’: Former FBI agent issues new theory as Guthrie remains missing (via Reuters)
“It has to be someone who is familiar with Tucson and one of their biggest celebrities, Savannah. Someone they know will pay until the mope screws up like the mope did.” Coffendaver write on X. “CertiK are experts in Bitcoin, blockchain, and spanner attacks. We’ll see. I just hope Nancy will be found and the perpetrators will face justice.”
“If it’s an attorney’s wrench, the case will be harder to solve,” she added. “P.S. FBI – Please put Porch Guy on the billboard and add Spanish.”
In the same article, Coffendaver also listed four points that proved the “attack” on Nancy was a “sophisticated attack.”
“This attack was sophisticated enough to: bother the FBI and LE for 4 months, send ransom messages in untraceable boxes through media sites, set up a crypto-Bitcoin account that the wallet holder cannot identify, hire a sullen guy who will stay silent to do the job,” Coffindaffer wrote.
Pima County Sheriff’s Department’s take on wrench attack theory
The Pima County Sheriff’s Department has previously stated this theory.
In a statement cited by Fox News, a spokesperson for the Pima County Sheriff’s Department said, “The Pima County Sheriff’s Department has not received any reports of a ‘wrench strike’ in our community. The investigation into the disappearance of Nancy Guthrie remains active. We will share significant updates publicly as they become available.”

The air was thick and smog hung on the ground in residential areas of East Los Angeles. People are getting sick from the Boyle Heights fire as toxic smoke enters homes and lingers in the air.
There are still no evacuation orders.
The fire started last week but has been difficult to extinguish due to the massive amounts of rotting food in the building (an estimated 85 million pounds of rotting food), as well as rooftop solar panels and dangerous lithium-ion batteries. These factors, coupled with damage to ammonia pipelines used for industrial refrigeration, may have worsened the situation.

Latest developments in Nancy Guthrie case
Volunteers have been searching for Nancy in Mexico after an anonymous tip said her body was located near the Arizona border. The Buscando Corazones group in Nogales, Sonora, had previously discovered more than 25 unmarked graves in the area, and it was reported that Nancy’s remains could be found in the area.
The leader of the local collective claims she received a tip that Nancy’s body was buried in a stream in the Mariposa area. The stream was reportedly located near the Mariposa Port of Entry on the Mexico-Arizona border.
However, volunteers found no evidence of Nancy’s “grave” or her whereabouts.
Pima County Sheriff Chris Nanos It was previously explained why no arrests have been made months after Nancy went missing. In an interview with KOLD-TV, Nanos defended what he called a “tedious” process.
“It’s not like a detective goes out and talks to someone and we can arrest him,” Nanos said. “This is a very sensitive case, but what really causes the case to drag on is that we do rely on the labs.” “When you look at these labs and the work they do, you see there’s a science there, and science has rules that it has to follow. Even if it’s not… DNA, they’ll tell you, is not an exact science — it’s over 99 percent accurate. So it’s pretty close, but you still have to follow the rules.”
Ukrainian attacks on Russian refineries caused fuel shortages and led to supply rationing.
Ukrainian drone and missile attacks on Russian refineries have triggered a deepening fuel crisis across Russia, with gasoline purchase restrictions in place in 53 regions and motorists facing long lines and rationing, the Wall Street Journal reported.Moscow refineries were hit twice in a week. The International Energy Agency said the attacks had destroyed about 20% of Russia’s refining capacity, calling the damage “unprecedented in the history of the Russia-Ukraine conflict.”
Ukraine attacked Moscow oil refineries twice, on June 16 and June 18, in what was likely the largest attack on the Russian capital since a full-scale invasion began in 2022. Video footage showed multiple fireballs and black smoke over the facility in the Kapotnya district, which produces more than a third of the fuel in Moscow and the surrounding region.The June 18 strike damaged the Euro+ crude processing complex, which was commissioned in 2020 as part of a refinery modernization plan, industry sources cited by Reuters said. The unit includes a crude distillation section with a nominal capacity of approximately 140,000 barrels per day, representing approximately 47% of the refinery’s total processing capacity. The strike earlier on June 16 had damaged another major crude distillation unit, which is responsible for about 53% of the refinery’s processing capacity. Satellite images released by Exilenova+ show a severely damaged storage tank with its roof blown off, as well as clear signs of firefighting activity in multiple critical processing areas.
According to Russian independent media The Bell, fuel purchase restrictions have spread to 53 Russian regions and occupied territories. Drivers are usually only allowed to carry one tank of fuel to prevent hoarding. In 18 regions, motorists are limited to purchasing more than 50 liters or a full tank of petrol per customer. Oil producer Tatneft has imposed restrictions at hundreds of gas stations across the country, including one south of Moscow that limited gasoline sales to 20 liters per vehicle.In Crimea, the situation is particularly serious. Ukrainian forces have attacked tankers and trucks delivering fuel to the peninsula, with rationing starting as early as late May. Motorists reported waiting up to three hours for refueling. Local authorities have implemented a QR code dispensing system that drivers must present to receive their allocated fuel quota.
strategic changes in war
According to the Wall Street Journal, “attacks in Ukraine have forced Russia to ration fuel,” demonstrating Kyiv’s ability to strike targets hundreds of kilometers away in Russia. The strike forced the complete or partial closure of many facilities, and more than 20% of Russia’s primary refining capacity was temporarily idle.Former Russian Deputy Energy Minister Vladimir Milov said the attacks have become more effective because Ukraine is targeting Russia’s largest and most modern refineries, which use Western equipment that is difficult to replace.“These 10 to 15 refineries are a very narrow and vulnerable target. Simply put, attacking them would trigger a crisis,” Milov said.Following the strike, Russian Railways set up a special task force to ensure “uninterrupted supply” of fuel to regions. The Russian government has also banned jet fuel exports and expanded rules that allow refiners to sell domestically produced fuel that does not meet Euro-5 quality standards.Russian state television has downplayed shortages despite the growing crisis, with a prominent pro-Kremlin presenter dismissing as “hysterical” Russians who posted images of empty gas stations. Moscow fines for publishing images of fallout from attacks in Ukraine.
Trump deepens feud with Italy’s Meloni, who says his ‘unprovoked attack makes no sense’ (AP)
Italian Prime Minister Giorgio Meloni has hit back after U.S. President Donald Trump suggested she was trying to improve her domestic political standing by repairing ties with Washington, telling the U.S. leader to focus on her own popularity. She called his attack “unprovoked and senseless” and said her popularity depended on her “ability to defend Italy’s national interests”“President Trump, these ongoing and unprovoked attacks are senseless. As for my popularity, being your friend certainly does not help and does not depend on my relationship with you. My popularity depends on my ability to defend Italy’s national interests, which is what I have been doing,” she said.“That’s what I did with the U.S. military bases in Italy as well. The use of those bases is governed by agreements that we have always respected and cannot be violated as long as I am prime minister. Italy remains a sovereign country. In any case, my popularity has nothing to do with you. I advise you to focus on yours,” she said in response to Trump’s assertion that Italy would not let the United States use its runways. After Trump returned from the G7 summit, he repeatedly claimed that Meloni was “begging” to take a photo with him, a claim that the Italian prime minister denied.Trump reiterated the claim on Saturday, saying “Italian Prime Minister Giorgio Meloni has asked over and over again to take a photo with me during the G7 meeting in France. She is not well received in Italy, probably because in denying Iran the ability to acquire or develop nuclear weapons, she is denying the United States of America, a country that truly loves and protects Italy (but so does NATO!)”“She won’t even let us use Italian airstrips or runways, which creates a huge logistical inconvenience, even though the United States contributes hundreds of billions of dollars a year to protect Italy and other ‘so-called’ NATO allies. Now, after the US defeated Iran militarily, she wants to be friends again in order to increase her ‘numbers’,” he added.Support for Meloni’s government, which comes to power in 2022, has recently recovered to around 35% after gradually declining in 2025, while her Brotherhood of Italy party continues to lead the polls with about 28%. By contrast, Trump, who is sworn in as US president in January 2025, saw his approval rating rise slightly by 1 percentage point to 36% in the latest Reuters/Ipsos poll, still close to the lowest level of his political career, although public concerns about the cost of living have eased.
