    Is Iran REALLY Negotiating? War Escalates, Jets Downed & Trump Under Fire

    Episode Description: Is Iran really negotiating—or is the war escalating faster than we’re being told? In this episode of Habari Live, we break down the latest developments in the Iran conflict after a U.S. fighter jet was shot down, raising serious questions about control, strategy, and what’s actually happening on the ground. While U.S. leadership suggests talks may be underway, Iran is denying any negotiations—leaving the public caught between two very different narratives. At the same time, pressure is building at home. From a lawsuit over a Trump commemorative coin to massive nationwide protests and historically low approval ratings, Americans are pushing back in real time. We also dive into comments about cutting social programs due to war costs, Supreme Court debates on birthright citizenship, and global reactions—including calls for cooperation on AI from Senator Bernie Sanders.

    ICE Killing, Oil Wars & Executive Power: What They’re Not Telling You

    Tonight on **Habari Live**, we break down two major stories that reveal a dangerous pattern of power, secrecy, and accountability failures — at home and abroad.We begin in **Minnesota**, where state officials say they’ve been shut out of the investigation into the fatal ICE shooting of **Renee Good**, a 37-year-old mother of three. As a new video contradicts the federal government’s account of the shooting, the FBI has taken sole control of the case, blocking state investigators from accessing evidence, interviews, and the scene itself. Protests have erupted, state leaders are demanding answers, and questions about federal overreach are growing louder.Then we turn to **Venezuela**, where decades of U.S. involvement — driven largely by oil and regime-change ambitions — have culminated in a dramatic escalation. We examine the history of American oil dominance, sanctions, failed coups, and the recent military operation that resulted in the capture of Nicolás Maduro. As U.S. officials openly discuss seizing oil resources and projecting American power “anywhere, anytime,” lawmakers push back, advancing a Senate resolution to block further military action without congressional approval.Throughout the episode, we connect the dots between domestic law enforcement, foreign intervention, war rhetoric, and the erosion of the rule of law — asking a central question:**Who benefits when accountability disappears?**This is *Habari Live*.**News Our Way.**---### **CHAPTER MARKERS (OPTIONAL FOR YOUTUBE)**00:00 – Opening02:15 – ICE Shooting in Minnesota & Federal Blockade12:40 – Video Evidence Contradicts Official Story20:05 – U.S. History in Venezuela & Oil Interests32:10 – Maduro Capture, Oil Seizures & War Powers45:30 – Senate Pushback & Rule of Law55:00 – Final Analysis & Outro---### **HASHTAGS**#HabariLive #ICE #Venezuela #OilWars #WarPowers #Accountability #BreakingNews #NewsOurWay
