President Trump has been consistent in his desire for a new, more productive relationship with Iran.
From the same speech: "I have never believed in having permanent enemies. I am different than a lot of people think... If I can make a deal with Iran, I'll be very happy."

Congratulations to Praggnanandhaa on becoming the first Indian to win the Norway Chess tournament - one of the ultimate tests of endurance, intellect and temperament in the world of chess.
To defeat the world’s absolute best on one of chess’s grandest stages is a remarkable feat. But what makes it even more special is the spirit with which Pragg plays. Fearless - Focused - Deeply Indian.
@rpraggnachess, you represent the confidence of a rising, youthful India.
The entire nation is incredibly proud of you, Pragg. 🇮🇳♟️
Hezbollah never stopped violating the ceasefire and attacking Israeli civilians.
Hezbollah attacks Israelis with drones, rockets, anti-tank missiles.
Families are forced into shelters. Communities live under constant threat. Children grow up to the sound of sirens.
No country would allow this to continue.

INDEPENDENT NATIONAL ELECTORAL COMMISSION
PRESS STATEMENT
UPDATE ON THE COLLECTION OF PERMANENT VOTERS’ CARDS (PVCs) FOR THE EKITI STATE GOVERNORSHIP ELECTION
The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) is pleased to announce the successful conclusion of the collection of Permanent Voters’ Cards (PVCs) ahead of the Ekiti State Governorship Election scheduled to hold on Saturday, 20th June 2026.
Following the suspension of the Continuous Voter Registration (CVR) exercise in the State on Thursday, 15th May 2026 and the subsequent clean-up of the voters' register, the number of registered voters in the State has increased from 987,647 in 2023 to 1,059,360 in 2026.
Similarly, the number of PVCs collected has risen from 958,052 in 2023, representing a collection rate of 97.0 per cent, to 1,028,929 in 2026, representing 97.1 per cent of registered voters. You will recall that the PVC collection exercise, originally scheduled to end on 11th June 2026, was extended to 14th June 2026, following consultations with stakeholders at a meeting held in Ado-Ekiti.
With regards to Section 18(1) of the Electoral Act 2026, which requires the Commission to make available to registered voters replacement PVCs in the event of the loss, damage or defacement of their original PVC, 14,406 applications were received within the stipulated time and all 14,406 replacement PVCs were printed most of which have been collected.
The option of a downloadable copy of the lost, damaged or defaced Voter Cards could not be implemented in this election because the necessary technology infrastructure for this is yet to be completed. The option would be available to voters in subsequent elections, especially the Osun Governorship election in August 2026 and the 2027 General Election.
The Commission appreciates the support of stakeholders, including traditional rulers, community leaders, civil society organisations, political parties and the media, in mobilising citizens to collect their PVCs and prepare for the forthcoming election.
For the Ekiti State Governorship Election, all the PVCs were printed and made available for all eligible applicants, including those who requested a transfer, or applied for the replacement of lost, damaged or defaced cards. A detailed breakdown of PVC collection by Local Government Area (LGA) has been uploaded on the Commission's website and social media platforms.
Once again, the Commission urges all registered voters who have collected their PVCs to turn out peacefully and exercise their franchise on Election Day. It reassures the people of Ekiti State of its commitment to conducting a free, fair, credible and inclusive governorship election.
