Pakistan allowed Iran to park military aircraft on its airfields despite mediator role in conflict with U.S.

2026-05-11 2:58 PM EDT / CBS News

Washington — As Pakistan positioned itself as a diplomatic conduit between Tehran and Washington, it quietly allowed Iranian military aircraft to park on its airfields, potentially shielding them from American airstrikes, according to U.S. officials with knowledge of the matter.

Iran also sent civilian aircraft to park in neighboring Afghanistan. It was not clear if military aircraft were among those flights, two of the officials told CBS News.

Together, the movements reflected an apparent effort to insulate some of Iran’s remaining military and aviation assets from the expanding conflict, even as officials publicly served as brokers for de-escalation.

The U.S. officials, who all spoke only under condition of anonymity to discuss national security issues, told CBS News that days after President Trump announced the ceasefire with Iran in early April, Tehran sent multiple aircraft to Pakistan Air Force Base Nur Khan, a strategically important military installation located just outside the Pakistani garrison city of Rawalpindi.

Among the military hardware was an Iranian Air Force RC-130, a reconnaissance and intelligence-gathering variant of the Lockheed C-130 Hercules tactical transport aircraft.

U.S. Central Command referred CBS News to Afghan and Pakistani officials for comment.

A senior Pakistan official rejected the claims involving Nur Khan Air Base, telling CBS News, that “Nur Khan base is right in the heart of [the] city, a large fleet of aircrafts parked there can’t be hidden from [the] public eye.”

According to an Afghan civil aviation officer who spoke to CBS News, an Iranian civilian aircraft belonging to Mahan Air landed in Kabul shortly before the war started. After Iranian airspace was closed, the aircraft remained parked in Kabul airport.

Later, when Pakistan began airstrikes on Kabul in March during tensions with the Taliban-led government over allegations that the Afghan Taliban was offering a safe haven for the jihadist militant group Tehrik-e-Taliban Pakistan, the Taliban’s civil aviation authorities decided to move the aircraft to Herat Airport near the Iranian border for safety reasons, to protect it from possible bombing of Kabul Airport by Pakistani jets.

According to the aviation officer, this was the only Iranian aircraft left in Afghanistan.

Taliban’s chief spokesman Zabihullah Mujahid denied the presence of any Iranian airplanes in Afghanistan, telling CBS News, “No, that’s not true and Iran doesn’t need to do that.”

Pakistan’s reliance on China for military assistance has risen dramatically over the past decade. A Stockholm International Peace Research Institute study showed China supplied about 80% of Pakistan’s major arms between 2020 and 2024, and Islamabad also has close economic ties with Beijing.

Islamabad has attempted to navigate both sides of the crisis — presenting itself to Washington as a stabilizing intermediary while avoiding steps that could alienate Tehran or China, Iran’s most powerful international backer.

China, which has deepened military and economic cooperation with both Pakistan and Iran in recent years, has publicly celebrated Pakistan’s role in facilitating indirect communications between Tehran and Washington.

Iran’s latest proposal to end the war included demands for U.S. war reparations, recognition of Iranian sovereignty over the Strait of Hormuz and the removal of American sanctions, according to Iran’s state-run broadcaster.

The conditions were disclosed in a social media post by Islamic Republic of Iran Broadcasting a day after Mr. Trump publicly rejected Tehran’s counteroffer as “TOTALLY UNACCEPTABLE.” The president did not specify which elements of Iran’s proposal prompted his rejection.

The rejection has further strained what seems to be a ceasefire in name only as Mr. Trump prepares to travel to Beijing this week for talks with Chinese President Xi Jinping, where the war in Iran is expected to feature prominently alongside disputes over trade and Taiwan.

Meanwhile, small-scale clashes continued around the Strait of Hormuz on Sunday, underscoring the fragility of the ceasefire between Iran and the United States.

The United Arab Emirates said Sunday that Iranian drones again targeted its territory following several strikes earlier in the week, according to Reuters. Last week, CBS News reported that three American Navy destroyers transiting the Strait of Hormuz came under attack, with the U.S. carrying out strikes on two Iranian ports abutting the strait.

Alabama AG makes Supreme Court play that could deal decisive blow in redistricting war

May 11, 2026 1:56pm EDT / Fox News

The move comes after the Louisiana Callais ruling raised questions about how race should factor into map-drawing

By Charles Creitz Fox News

Alabama Attorney General Steve Marshall tells Fox News Digital he’s fighting to undo a court-forced gerrymander after the Supreme Court ruled against race-based redistricting, firing back at Northern critics he says silence Republican voices.

Alabama’s top law enforcement officer filed a Supreme Court challenge aimed at overturning a prior ruling that limited Republicans in decennial redistricting, after a recent Louisiana case raised questions about how the court previously ruled there.

Louisiana’s “Callais” ruling struck down the state’s map, including districts centered on New Orleans and a narrow majority-minority corridor from Baton Rouge. Alabama leaders said the decision conflicts with or calls into question Supreme Court precedent affecting their state by requiring racial factors to be considered when drawing congressional districts.

“Now they have a framework for Alabama to directly defend what the legislature did both in 2021 and 2023,” said Alabama Attorney General Steve Marshall, telling Fox News Digital he was “thrilled” to see where the court came down on Callais at the end of April.

“And that is, drawing maps based on historical redistricting principles that now I think Callais makes clear were constitutional exercises of that authority,” Marshall said, highlighting SCOTUS’ analysis that race should not predominate when drawing congressional districts.

SUPREME COURT RULES ON KEY VOTING RIGHTS ACT RULE AS REPUBLICANS AND DEMOCRATS WAGE REDISTRICTING WAR

https://www.foxnews.com/video/6303667208001

“And then unlike Louisiana, which was able to get direct relief through that decision, we now have to be removed from the injunction [against Alabama’s prior map] by the three-judge panel in order to either go back to the map that is being challenged or give the legislature the authority to draw a new map.”

A previous Supreme Court ruling, Allen v. Milligan, invalidated Alabama’s prior redistricting effort, with critics saying the decision wrongly weighted racial factors in creating what became a second Democratic-favored district in the ruby-red state.

If Alabama is able to get out from under Milligan, it could have national implications for Democrats’ attempts to gain enough seats in the slim GOP-majority U.S. House this fall, as Montgomery’s so-called Livingston map, originally struck down in the 2023 case, would see new life.

Marshall, who is also running to succeed retiring Sen. Tommy Tuberville, R-Ala., this fall, said urgency before the court is important with the May 19 primary approaching.

“Because the lower court’s injunction cannot stand in light of the Supreme Court’s ruling, we have asked the court to lift the injunction. Alabama deserves the right to use its own maps, just like every other state.”

The AG said he is working separately from state lawmakers, who are in special session through Friday to address the legislative side of the fight, and that his office is “singularly focused” on getting legal relief from the Supreme Court.

He also said that, regarding race, the Alabama of the 2020s is not the Alabama of the 1960s and that there are few, if any, barriers to minority suffrage in the Yellowhammer State.

“You saw some of that sentiment from Justice Kavanaugh in a concurrence in the Milligan case that Alabama had there a few years ago, saying there’s a point in time in which we have to acknowledge that circumstances have changed,” he said, as the prior case forced Alabama to draw a second district where Black voters have a meaningful opportunity to elect a candidate of their choice.

For Democratic critics like New Jersey Sen. Cory Booker, who descended on Alabama to push back — as he did at a counter-redistricting forum in Birmingham with the city’s Mayor Randall Woodfin and Democratic gubernatorial candidate Doug Jones — Marshall suggested they get their own house in order up north.

“[They’re] arguing for proportional representation, which is basically what they are saying, they make that same argument in Maine, in Rhode Island, in New Hampshire — where you don’t see a single congressional member there from the Republican Party.”

Underlining that New England states have large blocs of “unaffiliated” or independent voters, gerrymander critics often point to the region because those who are Republican essentially have no voice in Washington.

Maine is considered the most moderate of the states, with an estimated Republican bloc of about 30%, while Vermont’s more vague registration system resulted in about the same percentage of vote share going to President Donald Trump in 2024.

VIRGINIA CONGRESSMAN SAYS SPANBERGER WANTS TO ‘TURN US INTO NEW ENGLAND’

Connecticut, Rhode Island and Massachusetts all have between 10% and 40% Republican vote share, presuming a bloc of the “unaffiliated” group votes at times for Republican candidates. Those states have more than 40% of their people registered unaffiliated or similar.

Fox News Digital reached out to Booker earlier this week on similar criticism but did not receive a response.

Marshall said his work is not necessarily in concert with the legislature, but the two are on similar tracks.

“While we’ll obviously watch what the legislature is doing, our job is to secure the relief from the [2023 redistricting] injunction as quickly as possible.”

“And the other thing, not only are we working on the state congressional map, but it’s also, we have a state Senate district [map] likewise that was subject to redrawing based upon a Voting Rights Act Section 2 challenge,” he said.

His office is also involved in the New Orleans-based 11th Circuit Court of Appeals to challenge the state’s senatorial map while seeking Supreme Court review on the congressional front.

While Marshall spoke to Fox News Digital before the Supreme Court of Virginia struck down the Democratic-led redistricting map there, he called Richmond’s move “clearly [done] for hyper-political reasons that kept none of the traditional principles in mind.”

Alabama’s redistricting efforts have aimed to follow the letter and spirit of the law, and the attorney general said he hopes to have a real chance of receiving favorable corrective action from the nation’s highest court and remedying a fight the Yellowhammer State previously lost.

Secretary of State Wes Allen indicated the May 19 primary will go on as expected, meaning Marshall’s motions may come just in time to give Republicans another incremental advantage in a nationally relevant electoral landscape.

Lawsuit filed to stop Trump’s blue repainting of the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool

A nonprofit dedicated to “promoting informed stewardship” of historic landscapes asked a federal judge on Monday to halt the Trump administration’s painting of the Lincoln Memorial’s Reflecting Pool, which has long featured a gray basin, blue.

The lawsuit filed in federal court in Washington, DC, by The Cultural Landscape Foundation argues the project violates federal laws requiring the Interior Department to complete a consultation process that includes notifying the public of the plans and getting input from other federal agencies before beginning the work.

The group also says the project runs afoul of a federal law requiring the department to issue an assessment of how the paint job would impact the environment.

The lawsuit is the latest challenge to Trump’s effort to remake a slew of cultural and historic institutions and sites in the nation’s capital. Other groups have asked federal courts to stop the president from moving ahead with work on a massive new ballroom at the White House, construction of an arch similar to Paris’ Arc de Triomphe and the painting of a federal office building adjacent to the White House.

“Defendants’ failure to follow the law before inserting a permanent blemish on the National Mall is causing serious and irreparable harm to the Plaintiffs and the public generally,” lawyers for the Cultural Landscape Foundation wrote in court papers. “Without immediate judicial intervention, defendants will deface an iconic American landmark, in open violation of Congressionally mandated procedures.”

The foundation’s president and CEO, Charles A. Birnbaum, who is also a plaintiff in the case, said in a statement that the Reflecting Pool’s design “is fundamental to the solemn and hallowed visual and spatial connection between the Washington Monument and the Lincoln Memorial.”

“A blue-tinted basin is more appropriate to a resort or theme park,” he said.

The case was assigned to Judge Carl Nichols, a Trump appointee who has previously presided over challenges to the president’s efforts to remake the federal workforce.

Nichols has asked both sides to tell him by Tuesday evening whether he should hold a hearing over the foundation’s request for an emergency court order halting work on the Reflecting Pool.

The paint project has been a priority for the president, who last week drove across the drained Reflecting Pool to survey the landmark, which he praised for its new “American flag blue” coating.

“It’s much more beautiful than it was new because it never had the color people wanted, but now it’s going to have the great color. So it’s going to be good,” Trump said last week.

Asked about the new lawsuit, an Interior Department spokesperson said in a statement that the new blue color “will enhance the visitor experience by making the pool reflect the grand Lincoln Memorial and Washington Monument.”

Interior also touted other changes being made at the site to help with the maintenance of the pool’s water quality.

“The Department is proud of the work being carried out by our Park Service to ensure this magical spot can be enjoyed for not only our 250th, but for many generations to come,” the spokesperson said, referring to the upcoming anniversary of the US’ founding.

Supreme Court continues to temporarily maintain mail access to abortion pill mifepristone

May 11, 2026 3:54 PM EDT / CBS News

Washington — The Supreme Court on Monday extended a temporary order maintaining mail access to the widely used abortion pill mifepristone for now.

Justice Samuel Alito said in a brief order that an administrative stay that he entered last week will remain in place until at least Thursday at 5 p.m. His move gives the Supreme Court additional time to consider whether to freeze an appellate court decision restoring a Food and Drug Administration rule that required mifepristone to be dispensed in person.

Two pharmaceutical companies that manufacture the drug, Danco Laboratories and GenBioPro, had asked the Supreme Court earlier this month to set aside that ruling from the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 5th Circuit and continue allowing abortion providers to prescribe the drug online and send it to patients while legal proceedings continue. Alito handles emergency appeals arising from the 5th Circuit.

Mifepristone is taken together with a second drug, misoprostol, to terminate an early pregnancy. Medication was used in 65% of all clinician-provided abortions in 2023, according to the Guttmacher Institute, a research organization that supports abortion rights.

But last year, Louisiana officials sued the FDA over its regulation allowing mifepristone to be mailed, which threatened to restrict access to the pill for women nationwide, including in states where abortion is legal. The state has argued that the FDA’s policy allows providers to circumvent its near-total ban on abortion. As a result, “streams of mifepristone” are sent into Louisiana by mail, leading to “thousands” of unlawful abortions each year, Louisiana officials said.

A federal district court had paused Louisiana’s case against the FDA last month while the agency reviews mifepristone’s safety. But Louisiana officials appealed that decision, and the 5th Circuit agreed to temporarily block the 2023 policy allowing mifepristone to be prescribed remotely and sent through the mail.

“Every abortion facilitated by FDA’s action cancels Louisiana’s ban on medical abortions and undermines its policy that ‘every unborn child is human being from the moment of conception and is, therefore, a legal person,’” the unanimous 5th Circuit panel found.

出门不怕太阳晒 新加坡团队开发应用助行人规划更阴凉路线

2026年5月11日 19:31 / 联合早报

政府开源科技部的五人团队开发“Undercover”网络地图应用，可根据不同时段和天气条件，为使用者提供最短路径、最阴凉路径，以及折中推荐路线的选项，减少日晒雨淋之苦。 （李冠卫摄）

不少人宁愿绕远一点、穿过组屋底层或商场，也不想顶着烈日赶路。如今，本地团队开发出一款网络地图应用，不只告诉民众“最快怎么走”，还能规划“最阴凉怎么走”。

副总理兼贸工部长颜金勇，星期一（5月11日）在第四届“绿动新加坡”开幕式上致辞时，介绍这款名为“Undercover”的导航应用。

这款免费应用，是隶属政府科技局的政府开源科技部（Open Government Products），在今年1月举办的年度“科技向善”编程马拉松中开发的60多个科技方案之一。

由政府开源科技部高级产品经理王文熙（31岁）领导的五人团队，精准全面地绘制整个新加坡地图，并打造专为步行网络设计的定制导航引擎Silverfox。

它能根据不同时段和天气条件进行优化，提供最短路径、最阴凉路径，以及折中推荐路线。用户也可在地图上查看各路线的遮荫率，再按个人需求选择，从而减少曝晒或雨淋。

根据团队测试，应用所规划的路线，可比传统导航减少高达32％的热压力。

王文熙指出，目前多数导航应用只会计算最短路线，却未必会避开烈日曝晒的路段。

“在本地又湿又热的天气下，摄氏30度的气温，体感温度往往可高达37度。随着全球气温上升，越来越多新加坡人希望在城市中穿行时，有更多舒适的选择。”

应用目前仍属原型测试版，团队会继续调整和更新，帮助民众更舒适地在户外步行或骑行。王文熙也呼吁公众多使用并提供反馈，协助团队改善应用。

公众可上网https://undercover.gov.sg/，尝试这款应用。

另一方面，颜金勇致辞时，也提到“绿动新加坡”合作伙伴推出的一系列活动和项目，帮助国人更了解气候变化，以及采取适应措施的重要性。

例如，新加坡京华基督教青年会与永续社会企业Terra新加坡合作设立的“绿色未来站”；关注废物管理课题的非营利组织Stridy，则联同教育媒体平台Just Keep Thinking，在东海岸公园捡垃圾活动中，向参与者推广气候适应理念与行动。

（奥克兰路透电）新西兰警方指出，他们正在调查一宗针对佛得角（Cape Verde）球员的指控。这涉及今年3月在国际足联系列赛（FIFA Series）期间发生的一起性侵犯指控。

警方在声明中说：“新西兰警方可以确认，正在调查一项指控。指控于2026年4月10日在奥克兰市中心向我们报案。”警方没有提供更多细节。

《新西兰先驱报》报道称，一名佛得角球员因涉嫌在球队下榻的酒店进行性侵犯而接受调查，该事件发生在佛得角3月27日在奥克兰对阵智利比赛之后。

佛得角足球总会尚未对此置评。国际足联发言人说，由于调查正在进行中，他们不便发表评论。

作为国际足联系列赛新西兰站的主办方，新西兰足球总会强调，他们尚未收到警方的联系，但如果需要，将协助进行任何调查。

佛得角是西非海岸的一个群岛国家，他们将在6月11日至7月19日由美国、加拿大和墨西哥共同主办的世界杯上首次亮相，在小组赛H组对阵前世界冠军西班牙和乌拉圭，以及沙特阿拉伯。

爱儿命丧火山口 母亲：我依靠的墙倒了

27岁的沙辛穆雷斯刚在去年10月结婚，谁料才过了半年就与亲人挚爱天人永隔。 （奴里娜提供）

27岁的沙辛穆雷斯热爱徒步，与朋友结伴远赴印度尼西亚北马鲁古省探险，不料这趟走的是一条不归路。

沙辛穆雷斯（Shahin Muhrez Abdul Hamid）不幸遇上火山喷发而罹难，对他的亲人尤其是妈妈而言，这犹如天塌了。噩耗获得证实这一天正是母亲节。

北马鲁古省的杜科诺火山5月8日喷发后，三名登山者失踪，包括一名印尼人和两名新加坡人。印尼救援机构负责人星期天（5月10日）证实，三人都已死亡。

罹难的两名新加坡人分别是沙辛穆雷斯，及安排此次登山活动的王文强（30岁）。

火山爆发时，沙辛穆雷斯与王文强一行共九名新加坡人一同攀登这座活火山，没想到在山顶等待他们的是一场灾难。

沙辛穆雷斯的母亲诺拉尼（Noraini Ibrahim，教师，64岁）接受《每日新闻》访问时说，沙辛穆雷斯是家中幼子，孝顺懂事，更是全家人的开心果。她说，这个儿子是她的依靠，他突然离去如同她“倚靠的墙瞬间倒塌了”，一切骤然瓦解。

诺拉尼说：“沙辛穆雷斯凡事都以我为先，也会挂念着手足的福祉。他的赤诚和爱是无法替代的。”

沙辛穆雷斯生前是美国能源公司埃克森美孚（ExxonMobil）的技术员，他本应在结束登山行程后，于星期天回国，不料却与亲人天人永隔。

沙辛穆雷斯刚在去年10月结婚，他的妻子奴里娜（Nurina Iffah Jusmani，27岁）痛失挚爱，深受打击。她受访时说：“虽然上苍只让他陪伴我短短六个月，但在这半年的时光里，他让我感受到了无可比拟的爱。”

奴里娜透露，沙辛穆雷斯热爱徒步，几个月前才登上沙巴神山，即京那巴鲁山的巅峰。

带领新加坡登山者的印尼山地向导里扎（Reza Selang）早前告诉媒体，火山突然爆发，沙辛穆雷斯当场受伤倒地不起，王文强见状折返冲入石块和火山灰中施救。沙辛穆雷斯后来恢复意识，但无法行走。里扎与王文强尝试将他拖离危险区，不料一块巨石滚落，将王文强和沙辛穆雷斯夹在乱石间。

与王文强是没有血缘关系继姐弟的胡佳宜（30岁，《商业时报》记者）日前受访时说，弟弟遇难，亲人都很难过，但他是因帮助别人而遇险，父母和家人为他感到骄傲。

两人的遗体星期天寻获后被送往山脚城镇托贝洛（Tobelo）地方医院辨认身份。不过，根据印尼媒体报道，两具尸体仅剩白骨，身份鉴定工作难度大。

台媒：郑丽文6月访美 要让华盛顿相信国民党亲美立场未变

（台北综合讯）据台湾媒体报道，中国国民党主席郑丽文预计6月1日启程前往美国，进行为期大约两周的访问。郑丽文期望透过此次访美，让华盛顿相信国民党“亲美友日和陆”的立场并没有改变。

据台湾《中国时报》星期一（5月11日）报道，郑丽文在北京与中共总书记习近平会谈后，就命国民党驻美代表秦日新安排访美行程，目前由秦日新以及国际部主任董佳瑜负责，预计6月1日出发，届时国民党海外部主任吴亮仪也会陪同。

据报道，郑丽文此行将访问华盛顿、纽约、波士顿、洛杉矶、旧金山等地，过程将访问多所大学、智库等。郑丽文日前透露，麻省理工学院、哥伦比亚大学以及哈佛大学都有向她发出邀请。

有蓝营人士指出，除大学及智库邀约外，郑丽文也会拜访美国国会议员。但关键的行政部门拜会，仍卡在与美国在台协会（AIT）的互动关系上，特别是处理“国防特别条例”期间，彼此关系有待修复。

有党内人士指出，美方对郑丽文存有不信任感，反而对台中市长卢秀燕与立法院长韩国瑜有好感。美方近期多次用行动表达力挺卢、韩两人，似乎有意让他们成为国民党主流意见；而郑丽文期望透过此次访美，让美方相信国民党“亲美友日和陆”的立场并没有改变。

另据香港《南华早报》星期一刊登郑丽文在台北接受该报的专访内容，谈及美国总统特朗普即将访华，郑丽文表示乐见中美开展和平对话、高层会面。她说，“美国奉行‘一个中国’政策，其核心原则之一便是美国不支持台独。这是一个原则问题，不容谈判。如果你追求台湾独立或反对‘一个中国’，中国大陆绝不会与你（美国）接触。”

郑丽文进一步指出，虽然美国一直使用“不支持”台湾独立的说法，而不是“反对”台湾独立，“这两个词的力度有所不同——但国民党的政策始终是明确反对台湾独立的”。
