Trump embarked on a roughly 16-minute rant against his enemies—including the Democrats, the whistleblower and the mainstream media—during an Oval Office joint press conference on Wednesday. The president’s so-called meltdown appeared to have been exacerbated by provoking questions asked by reporters about matters related to the impeachment inquiry and his actions since it was launched by House Speaker Nancy Pelosi last week.

The wide-ranging conversation released on Monday began with a discussion about Iran. Greenblatt, the former White House envoy to the Middle East during the Trump administration, pointed to recent criticisms by Biden administration officials of Trump’s decision to pull out of the Iran nuclear deal. He asked Ravid, a diplomatic correspondent at Walla News and a Middle East correspondent at Axios, for his thoughts on the matter.

New Delhi, April 25 (IANS) Ever since the launch of cash-rich Indian Super League (ISL) in 2014, the All India Football Federation (AIFF) has often been accused of playing the role of “chowkidar”, who protects the interest of newly-found franchises and remains completely indifferent in its attitude towards traditional I-League clubs.
