North Korea denies role in Binance crypto heist, criticizes FBI probe
North Korea on Tuesday denied its involvement in the recent cryptocurrency heist at Binance, dismissing as a trite provocation a US announcement that North Korean hackers were behind the incident. Binance, the world's biggest cryptocurrency exchange, said Friday that hackers stole more than USD 6 billion in what appears to be the largest cryptocurrency heist on record.

On Tuesday, Kim Yo Jong, the influential sister of North Korean leader Kim Jong Un, called the FBI announcement a trite provocation and an absurd rhetoric. This is not the first time that the US has attempted to spread misunderstanding of the DPRK in the international community, blindly linking the DPRK with the cyber crime' incidents whenever they occur on an international scale, she said in a ...

US had good conversations with Iran on finding deal to end conflict: Vance
US Vice President JD Vance offered measured optimism on Monday that a deal can still be struck to prevent President Donald Trump from following through on his threat to potentially order new strikes on Iran after the crucial midterm elections in the United States.

We've had a number of good conversations with the Iranians, Vance told reporters on Monday when asked about the letter.

Look, the president and I both feel pretty good about the prospects for potentially coming to a negotiated settlement. We're going to keep

US Supreme Court rejects Trump admin's push to set aside California ballots
The Supreme Court on Monday rejected a push for California to set aside thousands of mail ballots from people President Donald Trump's administration claims are noncitizens, a decision that comes on the eve of the pivotal midterm elections. The high court refused to intervene in a case involving 20,000 people the Republican administration flagged as likely noncitizens on the largely Democratic state's voter rolls. It was the latest in a flurry of election-related litigation the day before the midterm elections, which will decide control of Congress for the last two years of Trump's second term. In California, the Trump administration had asked the high court to set aside the challenged ballots until the voters' citizenship status could be verified. But officials there said that the list appeared to be filled with errors and that setting the ballots aside could effectively disenfranchise legal voters. The high court did not detail its reasoning, as is common in emergency decisions.
