Iranian president in letter says Iran doesn't pose a threat to US

Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian denied that his nation is posing a threat to the U.S. in an open letter, and defended Iran's actions in the ongoing war, citing it as "legitimate self-defense."

In the translatedfour-page letter posted on Xaddressed to the "people of the United States" on April 1, Pezeshkian wrote that the Iranian people "harbor no enmity toward other nations, including the people of America, Europe, or neighboring countries."

"This is a deeply rooted principle in Iranian culture and collective consciousness – not a temporary political stance," Pezeshkian said. "For this reason, portraying Iran as a threat is neither consistent with historical reality nor with present-day observable facts."

Pezeshkian's letter came hours beforePresident Donald Trumpthreatened that the U.S. would bring Iran "back to the Stone Ages where they belong" while making another case publicly for thewar on Iranduring aprimetime address. While his speech did not reveal any major updates regarding the war, Trump reiterated his stance that the administration's goal is to ensure Iran never obtains a nuclear weapon. The president also did not give a timeframe for when the war would end, after saying on March 31 that it could conclude in "two weeks, maybe three."

In his letter, Pezeshkian also accused the U.S. of being a "proxy for Israel," and said the U.S. launched "two acts of aggression" during negotiations to end the war. He encouraged Americans to question the Trump administration's claims about Iran.

Additionally, Pezeshkian said the war is further damaging the "global standing" of the United States.

The notion of Iran as a threat is 'invented'

Pezeshkian noted that the perception of Iran as a danger was invented. The Iranian president said that notion is "the product of political and economic whims of the powerful — the need to manufacture an enemy in order to justify pressure, maintain military dominance, sustain the arms industry, and control strategic markets.

"In such an environment, if a threat does not exist, it is invented," Pezeshkian added.

The Iranian president also urged Americans to "look beyond the machinery of misinformation," and speak with visitors to Iran or observe the contributions of Iranian immigrants in Western academia and technology as a counter-narrative to official rhetoric.

Pezeshkianwrote that the world "stands at a crossroads."

"Continuing along the path of confrontation is more costly and futile than ever before," Pezeshkian said. "The choice between confrontation and engagement is both real and consequential; its outcome will shape the future for generations to come."

Do Pezeshkian's words carry any weight?

Despite a well-constructed letter, foreign policy experts believe Pezeshkian's words could fall short as the war continues.

While Pezeshkian is speaking symbolically as president, the remaining leadership of Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) is now in command of all things Iran, especially the war, saidAlp Sevimlisoy, a geopolitical strategist and 2021 Millennium Fellow at the Atlantic Council.

"The power (Pezeshkian) holds is very minimal now because IRGC is running the show," Sevimlisoy told USA TODAY from Istanbul, Turkey. "A lot of their generals are acting independently of the central command of the Iranian state in the absence of a credible supreme leader.

"(Pezeshkian) is posturing as this is narrative building to reposition the Iranian people for the next stage of this conflict, which is likely the deployment of U.S. ground forces," Sevimlisoy added.

While Pezeshkian's letter mentioned negotiations and a desire to end the war, the Iranian president's comments could also be seen by some as propaganda, saidMark Cancian, a retired U.S. Marine colonel and a senior adviser at the Center for Strategic International Studies.

"In terms of getting traction with a majority of Americans, his words are only as important if they are reflected in the actual negotiations taking place," said Cancian, who spent more than 30 years in the Marine Corps and served on multiple tours in Iraq. "Time will tell."

Gucci Mane was the target of a kidnapping plot by a fellow rapper, DOJ says

Rapper Gucci Mane was the victim of a kidnapping and robbery plot by a rapper signed to Mane's label earlier this year, the Department of Justice alleged in a criminal complaint unsealed Thursday.

Lontrell Williams Jr., known by the stage name Pooh Shiesty, allegedly asked to meet with Mane, whose legal name is Radric Davis, in Dallas on Jan. 10 to discuss his contract with Mane's label 1017, according to the criminal complaint filed Monday in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Texas.

Williams was "upset with the terms of his contract" and wanted to be released, the complaint said. They met that afternoon at a music studio inside an office building.

Williams was wearing an ankle monitor because he was on home confinement for a prior firearms conspiracy conviction out of Florida, the complaint said. While inside the studio, Williams allegedly learned on a phone call that his case manager had not given him permission to be out and had to return home immediately.

Mane offered to reschedule, but Williams allegedly asked to speak to him in an attached recording room. According to the complaint, Mane agreed and was inside the room with Williams, Williams' father and another artist.

An argument occurred inside the studio, and Williams told the other artist to bring him his bag, the complaint said.

He "pulled what appeared to be a black AK-style pistol from the bag" and pointed it at Mane, demanding that Mane sign the papers to release him from his contract, officials alleged. Mane signed the paperwork while Williams' father and the other artist stood by, according to the complaint.

Prosecutors allege that after they left, six others from their group armed themselves and demanded "property" from other individuals in the room, who were referred to by initials.

One individual, identified as "M.M.," had a Rolex watch, wallet, Apple Airpods and a Louis Vuitton bag with other watches stolen, the complaint said. He was "choked from behind to the point of nearly losing consciousness," according to the complaint.

The victims were barred from leaving as one of the men involved allegedly barricaded them, according to the DOJ. The victims believed "they were going to be executed," the complaint said.

Williams, his father and seven others left in vehicles that were later identified in surveillance videos from a neighboring building, according to the complaint. One of the vehicles was a 2020 Dodge Charger Hellcat registered to his father and two rental cars that were rented to Williams' father at the time.

Williams, his father and six others were arrested Wednesday in Dallas and Memphis, Tennessee, according to the U.S. Attorney's office for the Northern District of Texas. They are facing federal charges in relation to kidnapping and robbery at gunpoint.

They each face a potential sentence of life in prison if convicted.

Ryan Raybould, the U.S. Attorney for the district, described them as having "resorted to violence and intimidation to achieve their purported business objectives."

Neither representatives for Mane nor Williams immediately responded to a request for comment from NBC News on Thursday.

The U.S. Attorney's Office said that the electronic monitoring device worn by Williams at the time of the alleged kidnapping and robbery placed him at the incident's location at the time as well as surveillance footage. Social media posts from the suspects also showed the allegedly stolen items after the incident occurred, the prosecutor's office said.

Caltrain could close one-third of stations if it can't find funding

Caltraincould be the next transit system in theSan Francisco Bay Area to experience significant service cutsif it cannot secure additional funding through a potential taxpayer referendum.

The Peninsula Corridor Joint PowersBoard of Directors released a plan on April 2 outlining what service could potentially be cut ifBay Area voters do not approve a 2026 ballot measure,which would create a 14-year regional transportation sales tax that is expected to generate millions annually to support and improvetheBay Area Rapid Transitagency and other local transit systems.

The measure will go before votersin Alameda, Contra Costa, San Francisco, San Mateo, and Santa Clara countieson November's ballot.

Like BART, Caltrain is facing an operating cost shortfall. This has left Caltrain with what the company says is a projected "average annual deficit of approximately $75 million" from fiscal years 2027 to 2041 after the transit system experienced a sharp drop in ridership due to the pandemic.

Although Caltrain says it saw an increase in ridership by "47% in 2025," it is struggling to meet its operational costs to maintain its new electric infrastructure and "state-of-the-art fleet."

"Caltrain is delivering more frequent, faster, and more reliable service for riders up and down the Peninsula," said Caltrain Executive Director Michelle Bouchard in a press release.

"But, as discussed in today's meeting, we are facing a structural funding challenge that cannot be solved through cuts or efficiencies alone. Without a stable, long-term funding solution, we will be forced to make difficult decisions that would significantly reduce service and impact the communities that rely on Caltrain every day."

Among the potential service cuts, the Caltrain board was presented with the option of closing more than one-third of stations; eliminating all weekend service; reducing train frequency to once an hour; ending service by 9 p.m.; and cutting segments of service.

The potential cuts would not take effect until 2027, initially beginning with the elimination of weekend services and a reduction in train frequency. If Caltrain continues to face funding shortages, it will then evaluate the need for cutting long-term services by closing stations.

Currently, Caltrain has 31 stations that serve areas between the San Francisco Peninsula and the Santa Clara Valley. The train can reliably take travelers on a 79-mile trip from Oracle Park in San Francisco to Gilroy, California.

Earlier this year,California Gov. Gavin Newsom authorized a $590 million loanto help address a budgetary shortfall that BART would be responsible for repaying over 12 years. However, this funding was strictly for the BART system and did not provide any assistance to Caltrain and other regional transit services.

Caltrain has attempted to implement cost-cutting measures to reduce its overhead costs by pausing new hires, improving crew efficiency, and reducing professional services and other non-labor expenses.

The agency is also attempting to raise funds through other sources that aren't operating costs, such as advertising and naming rights, and by monetizing its real estate.

"The public has made it clear that frequent, reliable service was exactly what they needed to get back on board," said Caltrain Board Chair Rico E. Medina in a press release.

"We are gaining riders and getting people where they need to go, every day. But the reality is that the service that has been such a success will be in jeopardy if our funding picture does not improve this year."

Death of refugee found after being released by Border Patrol determined to be homicide

The death of anearly blind refugeewho didn't speak English and was found dead in February in New York state days after Customs and Border Protection officers left him outside a coffee shop was a homicide, a state medical examiner's office said Wednesday.

Nurul Amin Shah Alam's manner of death was determined to be a homicide with cause of death being "complications of a perforated ulcer precipitated by hypothermia and dehydration," Erie County Executive Mark Poloncarz said at a news conference Wednesday afternoon. Poloncarz said the cause of death "refers to the disease or injury that initiates the lethal sequence of events."

Poloncarz said his office was barred by state law from publicly releasing the official autopsy and report on the death. He said he wished he could release it.

The Erie County District Attorney's Office said it has requested the autopsy report and would be reviewing the findings and evidence in the case.

New York Gov. Kathy Hochul said, "Every individual involved in the death of Mr. Shah Alam must be held fully accountable."

"To ensure a fair and impartial investigation, the Erie County District Attorney must continue his investigation and, if warranted by the evidence, prosecute to the fullest extent of the law," Hochul said in a statement.

The Erie County health commissioner, Dr. Gale Burstein, said Wednesday that Shah Alam had a "stress ulcer" that burst open.

"If that is not repaired in a short period of time, it can cause death, which is what we have, we felt we've seen in this instance," she said, later adding, "It's a medical emergency."

She said that Shah Alam experienced "severe stress" and that "stress was felt to be hypothermia, being in very cold temperatures, and dehydration, so no access to liquids."

Burstein said homicide as a manner of death "refers to death resulting from volitional or through a choice or decision or an act of another, and so this includes negligent acts or omissions or inaction."

Burstein said "the designation of homicide does not imply intent to cause harm or death" and does "not indicate criminality, which is the purview of the judicial system."

The officials declined to comment on whether the findings meant CBP's actions the night it released Shah Alam contributed to the death.

The Department of Homeland Security did not immediately respond to request for comment on the medical examiner's findings.

A Customs and Border Protection spokesperson said Shah Alam's death "had NOTHING to do with Border Patrol."

"Mr. Shah Alam passed almost A WEEK AFTER he was released by Border Patrol," the spokesperson said.

The Buffalo Police Department said in a preliminary timeline that Shah Alam was released from the Erie County Holding Center on Feb. 19. Shah Alam's attorney reported him missing on Feb. 22, and he was found dead on Feb. 24, it said.

Burstein said at the news conference that officials did not know when Shah Alam died and that it was "impossible to know the exact date and time." Any further details would be in the medical examiner's autopsy report that they could not release publicly due to state laws, she said.

New York Attorney General Letitia James said in a statement ahead of the news conference that Shah Alam "fled genocide to build a life in this country. Instead, he was abandoned and left to suffer alone in his final hours."

"No New Yorker should be treated this way. My office is continuing our review of the circumstances and treatment that led to Mr. Shah Alam's death," she said.

Buffalo Mayor Sean Ryan said late last month that Shah Alam's death was preventable and "deeply disturbing and a dereliction of duty by the U.S. Customs and Border Protection."

Ryan said in a statement Wednesday, "A vulnerable man — nearly blind and unable to speak English — was left alone on a cold winter night with no known attempt to leave him in a safe, secure location." He added that CBP's behavior in the incident was "unprofessional and inhumane."

CBP previously said in a statement to NBC News that the Buffalo Police Department on Feb. 19 alerted Border Patrol about a noncitizen in its custody. CBP determined Shah Alam had entered the U.S. as a refugee in December 2024 and "was not amenable to removal" and could not be deported. Border Patrol agents offered Shah Alam a ride, "which he chose to accept to a coffee shop, determined to be a warm, safe location near his last known address, rather than be released directly from the Border Patrol station."

"He showed no signs of distress, mobility issues, or disabilities requiring special assistance," the agency said.

The agency declined to say whether Shah Alam's family or friends were notified of his release and when it would take place, as well as what country he was from.

"Nobody told me or my family or attorney where my dad was dropped off,"Mohamad Faisal, one of Shah Alam's children, told Reuters. Faisal told the news agency that their family were Rohingya refugees from Myanmar.

Shah Alam's death caused alarm among New York state officials and advocates who criticized CBP for leaving him outside a coffee shop, which was closed at the time,according to the Legal Aid Bureau of Buffalo.

"The death of a loved one is never easy and the national and international attention focused on Mr. Alam, his life and his death are an added burden to this family, and my thoughts are with them, especially today," said Burstein, the county health commissioner.

Zelenskiy offers Ukraine's maritime expertise with Strait of Hormuz

April 2 (Reuters) - President Volodymyr Zelenskiy on Thursday offered to provide Ukraine's expertise in dealing with freedom of navigation in ‌the Black Sea to countries considering how to keep ‌the Strait of Hormuz open amid conflict in the Middle East.

Zelenskiy, speaking in his ​nightly video address, said Foreign Minister Andrii Sybiha had taken part in a virtual meeting devoted to reopening the Strait of Hormuz, attended by about 40 countries.

"Ukraine has relevant expertise concerning sea waterways, concerning the ‌defence and reopening of ⁠maritime traffic," he said.

"If (our) partners are ready to act we will consider how we can strengthen them, how ⁠we can apply our expertise, knowledge and technological potential."

Zelenskiy offered no further details.

Ukrainian forces have developed technology, including sea drones, that has enabled ​them during ​four years of war to score ​notable successes over Russian ships ‌in the Black Sea and kept Moscow from controlling the waterway.

The president embarked last week on a tour of Middle Eastern countries as part of a drive to provide them with defence technology it has developed in four years of countering drones, many of them ‌designed in Iran.

He said he was ​expecting a report on progress in the ​issue on Friday from ​Rustem Umerov, Ukraine's top negotiator in talks on reaching ‌a settlement to the war.

On Wednesday, ​Zelenskiy said that ​Ukraine was already cooperating with Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Qatar, and Jordan, and was also in contact with ​Bahrain, Kuwait and Iraq. ‌The government team was also in talks on potential agreements ​with Turkey and other countries.

Inspection finds dozens of violations of detention standards at a major immigration camp in Texas

A recent inspection at the nation'slargest immigration detention facilityfound dozens of violations of national standards that potentially exposed detainees to excessive force, disease, and other unsafe conditions.

Immigration Detention Conditions

Immigration and Customs Enforcement's Office of Detention Oversight performed a congressionally mandated inspection over three days in February at Camp East Montana in El Paso, Texas, according to areport posted onlineby ICE this week.

The report documents 49 deficiencies, which it defines as violations of detention standards or policies, in areas including the use of force and restraints, security, medical care and more. It was the first inspection released by that office since Camp East Montana was hastily built and opened last summer.

Attorney calls inspection findings 'scathing'

The number of deficiencies at the camp is highly unusual. The most found in any other inspection by the oversight office so far this year was 13.

"This report is scathing. Camp East Montana gets an F," said attorney Randall Kallinen, who represents the family of a36-year-old detainee who diedthere in January — one of at least three deaths since its opening. "It's very dangerous. Not only are the detainees in danger of excessive force, they are also in danger of improper or negligent medical care and mental health care, as well as danger from other detainees."

The report comes as ICE's parent agency, the Department of Homeland Security, ispausing the purchaseof warehouses intended to house up to 7,000 or more immigrants at a single location. ICE data through Feb. 5 shows that Camp East Montana has been the largest detention site, housing nearly 3,000 detainees per day, the majority of whom are men who have not been convicted of crimes.

The inspection was conducted before ICE moved last month toreplace the prime contractor, Acquisition Logistics LLC, amid intense scrutiny over conditions at Camp East Montana. The company had been awarded a contract worth up to $1.3 billion to build and operate the camp, even though it had no experience in the field. The company and its president, Ken Wagner, didn't respond to messages seeking comment.

Lawmaker calls ICE 'uninterested' in improving conditions

A more experienced contractor, Amentum Services, took over operations at Camp East Montana on March 12. A federal database says its nearly $453 million no-bid contract to provide detention, transportation and medical services runs through Sept. 30.

Detainees usually live at Camp East Montana for several days or weeks while they are awaiting deportation or before they are transferred elsewhere.

U.S. Rep. Veronica Escobar, an El Paso Democrat who has toured and met with detainees at the facility several times, said the inspection findings were "a drop in the bucket of what is so profoundly wrong with that facility." She said detainees have consistently complained of medical neglect and other problems.

She said conditions have not improved and wonders whether that is by design to pressure detainees to agree to self-deport.

"ICE is completely uninterested in really creating any change or holding the contractor accountable," she said.

An ICE spokesperson said the new contract will result in improved medical care, more staff on site and stricter oversight by ICE.

Report documents safety issues

The inspection report documented a series of safety lapses found during Acquisition Logistics' tenure. Camp staff didn't document whether they were conducting required checks to prevent self-harm and suicide, which 911 calls show have been a major problem at the facility.

Acquisition Logistics refused to provide information about staffing levels to ICE, which made it impossible to determine whether they were sufficient to maintain security, according to the report. In one instance, a detainee escaped when there was no staff assigned to watch the perimeter fences.

Inspectors found that tools and equipment were "unsecured and unaccounted for throughout the facility" and that staff did not maintain an accurate inventory of its ammunition.

Security guards who used and witnessed the use of force and restraints such as handcuffs failed to file written reports as required in some instances, the report said.

Supervisors also didn't document their observations, staff failed to record or preserve video recordings in some cases, and the facility did not review incidents afterward to examine whether chemical agents or other types of force were used appropriately.

Medical staff failed to isolate a detainee who had symptoms consistent with tuberculosis, which spreads through the air, and did not notify ICE of the case.

The camp also acted slowly in response to a dozen grievances filed by detainees about medical care, taking between six and 14 business days to respond, the report said.

Despite the problems, the report gave the camp an "acceptable/adequate" rating and recommended ICE work with the new contractor "to resolve the deficiencies that remain outstanding."

It pushed back on one of the most common complaints from detainees: that the food portions were too meager. It said the food service program, run by subcontractor Disaster Management Group, provided certification from a dietitian that the "average daily caloric provision of the menu" met federal recommendations.
