Mexican authorities discover 20 bodies, some decapitated, on Sinaloa highway

Mexican authorities discover 20 bodies, some decapitated, on Sinaloa highway

Prosecutors in northern Mexico's Sinaloa state are investigating the discovery of 20 male bodies with gunshot wounds – including five that were decapitated – on a bridge over a federal highway. Local media reported that a message was also found hanging over the bridge in Culiacán. The prosecutor's office told CNN it had no comment on the message but would investigate. Sinaloa Secretary General Feliciano Castro Meléndez called the case a "regrettable situation" and said it was "part of the violence and insecurity that Sinaloa is experiencing." Since 2024, Culiacán has been the epicenter of armed clashes between rival factions of the Sinaloa cartel. Two of the most prominent factions are La Mayiza, which is loyal to the cartel's alleged co-founder Ismael "El Mayo" Zambada, and Los Chapitos, which is loyal to the sons of former drug kingpin Joaquín "El Chapo" Guzmán. The violence in Sinaloa escalated after Zambada and one of El Chapo's sons, Joaquín Guzmán López, werearrestedlast year by US authorities in El Paso, Texas. An official familiar with the operation told CNN at the time that Guzmán López had organized his arrest along with that of Zambada by luring him on a flight to examine a piece of land he thought was in Mexico. Instead, the plane landed in El Paso, Texas, where federal agents arrested them both. Former Mexican Secretary of Security Rosa Icela Rodriguez said Guzmán López had reachedan agreementwith one of his brothers, Ovidio Guzmán López, who is in US custody, "So that they would go to the United States to surrender." However, an attorney for Ovidio told CNN that Rodriguez's claim was "a complete and utter fabrication." An attorney for El Mayo said he "neither surrendered nor negotiated any terms with the US government" and described the flight to the US as a violent kidnapping. Ovidio had been extradited to the US in September 2023 to face drug trafficking charges over his alleged role in the Sinaloa cartel. Days after his extradition, he pleaded not guilty to the charges in a US court. But in May, he reached an agreement to change his plea, according to a court document reviewed by CNN. Later that month, several members of his familyentered the USas part of an apparent "negotiation or plea deal opportunity provided by the (US) Department of Justice itself," Mexico's Security Secretary Omar García Harfuch said. Two other sons of El Chapo, Ivan Archivaldo and Jesus Alfredo Guzmán Salazar, are still at large. The US has accused them of leading large-scale drug trafficking operations for the cartel and has issued $10 million bounties for information leading to each of their arrests.

Iran foreign minister doubtful talks with U.S. will resume quickly

Iran foreign minister doubtful talks with U.S. will resume quickly

President Trump recently indicateddiplomatic talks with Iran could restartas soon as this week, although the White House noted no talks were officially scheduled. AfterU.S. airstrikes on some of Iran's nuclear facilities, followed days later by aceasefireto end what Mr. Trump called the12-day war between Iran and Israel, Iran's foreign minister seemed less certain about a speedy return to diplomacy. "I don't think negotiations will restart as quickly as that," Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi told CBS News through a translator. "In order for us to decide to reengage, we will have to first ensure that America will not revert back to targeting us in a military attack during the negotiations," Araghchi said in his first interview with an American media outlet inside Iran since the bombings. "And I think with all these considerations, we still need more time." However, Araghchi also insisted, "The doors of diplomacy will never slam shut." Mr. Trump said during a televised address following the American strikes on June 21 that Iran's Fordo nuclear enrichment site and the Isfahan and Natanz nuclear facilities had been "completely and totally obliterated." Gen. Dan Caine, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, said during a news conference, "Initial battle damage assessments indicate that all three sites sustained extremely severe damage and destruction." Rafael Mariano Grossi, the head of the United Nations' nuclear watchdog agencytold CBS Newsthe U.S. strikes caused "severe damage, but it's not total damage." Grossi said Iran could likely start enriching uranium again within a few months. "One cannot obliterate the technology and science for enrichment through bombings," Araghchi said. "If there is this will on our part, and the will exists in order to once again make progress in this industry, we will be able to expeditiously repair the damages and make up for the lost time." When asked if Iran intends to continue enriching uranium, Araghchi said the country's "peaceful nuclear program has turned into a matter of national pride and glory. We have also gone through 12 days of imposed war, therefore, people will not easily back down from enrichment." After 12 days of missile exchanges between Iran and Israel, Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khameneideclared victory, writing on social media, "I offer my congratulations on the victory over the fallacious Zionist regime," andclaimingIsrael's government was "practically knocked out and crushed under the blows of the Islamic Republic." Mr. Trumpresponded on social media, calling Khamenei's declaration a lie, saying Iran had been "decimated" and claiming he prevented both the U.S. and Israeli militaries from assassinating the supreme leader. Mr. Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu are set to meet at the White House next Monday. Mr. Trump has also indicated he could order strikes on Iran again should it resume enriching uranium beyond a certain level. Araghchi questioned the legality of such action and said Iran was prepared for more attacks. "We showed and proved during this 12-day imposed war that we have the ability to defend ourselves, and we will continue to do so should any aggression be launched against us," he said.
