U.S. Officials Say Iran’s New Supreme Leader Gravely Wounded Amid Escalating Conflict

Protesters hold posters of Iran's late Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei and his son, Iran's new Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei, during a protest marking al-Quds Day (Jerusalem Day), after Friday prayers at Fatih Mosque in Istanbul. U.S. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth has confirmed that Iran’s newly appointed Supreme Leader, Mojtaba Khamenei , was seriously wounded and likely disfigured during the opening phase of U.S. and Israeli military strikes.

White House East Wing Demolished as Trump’s $250M Ballroom Project Begins

Demolition of a part of the East Wing of the White House began on Monday. The National Capital Planning Commission has not approved the ballroom construction.

Construction crews have begun tearing down part of the White House’s East Wing to make way for President Donald Trump’s long-promised ballroom, a $250 million project that marks one of the most significant structural changes to the presidential residence in decades.

On Monday, heavy machinery was seen dismantling portions of the East Wing façade, despite earlier assurances from Trump that the expansion would not interfere with the existing building. The ballroom, planned as a 90,000-square-foot addition, is being touted by the president as a long-overdue enhancement to the historic estate.

Trump acknowledged the work during remarks in the East Room, noting that “right on the other side, you have a lot of construction going on.” The White House has said the project will be funded through private donors, though details of those contributions have not yet been disclosed.

The East Wing, traditionally home to the offices of the First Lady and her staff, has been partially demolished to accommodate the new structure. The move has drawn both fascination and criticism, with preservationists raising concerns about altering one of America’s most iconic landmarks.
