Russian President Vladimir Putin met with Iranian President Ibrahim Reisi in Moscow, discussing regional matters, Gaza, bilateral relations, and the International North-South Transport Corridor. Putin emphasized the corridor’s importance and expressed interest in exchanging views on regional situations, notably Palestine. Putin also mentioned a failed attempt to meet Reisi due to prior scheduling conflicts during his recent visits to the UAE, Saudi Arabia, and a stopover in Tehran.
A bronze statue of US First Lady Melania Trump was stolen near her hometown of Sevnica, Slovenia. The statue, depicting her waving during Donald Trump’s 2017 inauguration, was cut off at the ankles. Police launched an investigation after a tip-off on May 13.
An earlier wooden version of the statue was destroyed by arson in 2020. The current bronze replica, built by US artist Brad Downey, replaced it on a concrete base. Despite her local fame, Melania has never returned to her hometown since leaving Slovenia in the 1990s to pursue a modeling career in the US.
