Response: The Trump administration had no immediate reaction, but Secretary of State Mike Pompeo said last month that the U.S. would never allow Iran to get within one year of possessing enough fuel to produce a nuclear weapon.

Protests in Hong Kong on handover anniversary

Hundreds of riot police officers clashed with demonstrators who were marching to the site of an annual ceremony today commemorating the 22nd anniversary of the territory’s return to China from Britain. Here are the latest updates and the day in pictures.

Closer look: “One country, two systems” was Beijing’s pledge when it took back the former British colony in 1997, but concerns about the erosion of civil liberties are mounting. The agreement that grants Hong Kong a high degree of autonomy is set to expire in 2047.

Another angle: Many people in China oppose the protests, seeing only the news that Beijing’s censors allow them to see. Yet even many Western-educated Chinese professionals who travel and can see the global internet say the protesters foolishly value individuals’ rights over economic prosperity.
