Iran vows roaring missiles if threatened, defies new sanctions

Judges reject President Trump’s travel ban appeal

    Judges have rejected Donald Trump's appeal to have his travel ban immediately reinstated. Federal Judge James Robart halted the ban on Friday after questioning the constitutionality of the President's controversial executive order, which blocks citizens of seven Muslim-majority countries from entering the US and all refugees. The 9th US Circuit Court of Appeals in San Francisco on Sunday denied a formal request by the US Department of Justice to lift the ruling.

Vladimir Putin prepares for Suvorov Attack, warns the West
