In a series of tweets Tuesday President Trump blasted Iran, accusing it of spending money not on its people but on:

"Terror"

"ignorant and insulting"

Iran's President Hassan Rouhani has said that statements from President Trump saying he wants negotiations accompanied by a tightening of sanctions on Iran targeting its leaders do not make any sense.   Rouhani has said the inconsistency in US policy on Iran appears to reflect mental disorders at the White House.

The Qatar based Al Jazeera news channel reports that Rouhani told French President Emmanuel Macron that Iran will:

"respond in a most resolute manner to any new violation of Iranian airspace committed by the Americans"

Rouhani has also stated that he does not want war with the United States.

BREAKING NEWS:  A UNITED KINGDOM INDEPENDENCE PARTY (UKIP) TWITTER ACCOUNT 'WAR PLAN PURPLE' HAS BEEN SUSPENDED.

The highest level of court in France, the Court of Cassation, will rule Friday at 5pm Paris time in the right to life case involving Vincent Lambert.

Food and water was taken away from the 42 year old quadriplegic patient May 20th until the Paris Court of Appeals ruled it must be given to him again until his case could be heard in a hearing involving a United Nations disability panel.

His parents say Vincent Lambert is a disabled person while doctors treating him describe him as a person in a "persistent vegetative state" after a traffic accident in 2008.

The former Special Counsel Robert Mueller says he will testify before a House committee on July 17th.

Previously Mueller had said he would not testify before Congress saying his final report was his testimony.

A lawyer for President Trump, Jay Sekulow, told Fox News Tuesday evening that he expects Mueller's testimony to reflect his final report.   A report that found no collusion between President Trump and Russia during the 2016 presidential campaign.

From the White House, word that Stephanie Grisham will be the new Press Secretary, replacing Sarah Sanders.

Grisham has been working on the staff of First Lady Melania Trump.
