Iran is warning the U.S. against a ground invasion after President Trump's and thousands
of U.S. troops to the Middle East.
The country's parliament speaker, Mohammad Vagor, Galibov says if it happens, it would
Iran also threatened to target American and Israeli universities in the Middle East as
part of its war efforts.
This is ministers from Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, Turkey, and Egypt met in Islamabad today.
Trying to de-escalate the war, Pakistan also says it will hold talks between the U.S.
and Iran in the coming days, although earlier, Galibov dismissed the talks in Pakistan as
a cover after those U.S. troops arrived in the area.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu says he's widening his country's invasion
of southern Lebanon, visiting troops in northern Israel today.
Netanyahu says he's creating what he calls a security buffer zone to prevent Hezbollah
militants from firing rockets into Israel.
The Lebanon's government says Israeli attacks have killed more than 1,200 people and displaced
about a fifth of the country's population.
If yours, Lauren Frayer has more from Beirut.
First Israeli officials said they'd take Lebanese territory up to the Lattani River,
10 to 20 miles north of the current border.
Then they ordered residents out of a zone 10 miles beyond that.
Collette Sleem is the principal of a school housing displaced people on the boundary of
that zone, where the roar of Israeli warplanes interrupted our interview.
Residents are fleeing north in waves, she says, and her shelter is now full.
Israel has been striking homes, bridges, highways and fuel stations, forcing people from homes
that in some cases had only just been repaired from the last Israeli invasion in 2024.
Lebanon's government says at least 49 people were killed Sunday, including a paramedic.

TSA workers could see their first paychecks in more than a month, as soon as tomorrow,
despite the partial government shutdown.
Ampere's Eric McDaniel has more.
A White House memo directs DHS to move money around to pay 60,000 TSA employees.
But the core fight remains.
Democrats in Congress are withholding money from all of DHS, including TSA, in hopes of
changing how immigration agents can conduct themselves.
Republican House Speaker Mike Johnson has so far refused to take up a unanimous Senate
deal that funds all non-immigration functions at DHS, as these negotiations continue.
Democratic Representative Adam Smith said on Fox News Sunday that Johnson is making a mistake.
We can have that debate and fund TSA if Mike Johnson would just let us vote on what every single senator supported.
With crimping their corner, though, House Republicans haven't shown any signs of budging.

Michelangelo Leonardo da Vinci and Raphael are considered the three great masters of the high renaissance.
And now for the first time, a retrospective of Raphael's work is in the United States.
Ampere's Jennifer Vinesco has more.
Raphael has been called the Prince of Painters.
His portraits of Madonna's and other religious figures are known for their harmony and balance.
He became an extraordinary narrative painter, a storyteller who instantly knew how to capture the plot of a story,
or a scene at the moment of its greatest drama.
That's Carmen Bambach.

New genetic research shows that the earliest known dog is about 5,000 years older than first thought.
It dates to around 15,800 years ago.
Researchers found a dog's bones at a rock shelter site in Pinarbasi, Turkey,
used by ancient human hunter-gatherers, and scientists say it shows dogs and humans were good pals before the advent of agriculture.
The dog descended from the ancient wolf population, separate from modern wolves,
was the first animal domesticated by people with goats, sheep, cattle, and cats coming later.
