ABCニュースは内部計画文書を引用し、米陸軍はドナルド・トランプ大統領の命令があれば1961年以来初の死刑囚処刑を実施する準備を進めていると報じた。

トランプ大統領は暴力犯罪の抑止力として死刑の広範な適用を主張してきた。

ABCニュースは土曜日、この計画–「レゾリュート・ジャスティス作戦」として知られる–は2月に国内で配布され、軍に死刑執行の準備を義務付けていると報じた “大統領が死刑判決を承認した日から 150 日以内に。”

伝えられるところによると、準備には死刑執行手順の見直しと、連邦刑務所局と連携してカンザス州フォート・レブンワースの米国懲戒兵舎からインディアナ州テレホートの連邦死刑執行施設への死刑囚4人の移送が含まれている。

陸軍報道官のシンシア スミスは、その準備を軽視した “継続的な計画の標準コンポーネント、” 同紙が引用したように、トランプ大統領はまだ具体的な命令を出していないと指摘した。

昨年9月、ピート・ヘグセス陸軍長官はニダル・ハサン氏の処刑について大統領の承認を求めると述べた。元米陸軍少佐で医師の彼は、13人が死亡、32人が負傷した2009年のフォートフッド銃乱射事件で死刑判決を受けた。

他の3人の陸軍死刑囚には、ハサン・アクバル軍曹、元陸軍料理人のロナルド・グレイ、元曹長のティモシー・ヘニスが含まれており、全員が複数の計画的殺人罪で有罪判決を受けた。

トランプ政権は就任1期目に13件の連邦死刑執行を監督したが、これは現代史上のどの大統領任期よりも多い–。

トランプ大統領は2025年に大統領に復帰して間もなく、2021年に前任者のジョー・バイデン氏が課した連邦死刑執行の一時停止を撤回した。

アクシオスの報道によると、ドナルド・トランプ米大統領はイスラエルのベンヤミン・ネタニヤフ首相との緊迫した電話会談でイスラエルへの支援を撤回すると脅した。

イランが先週、イスラエルによるレバノンへの度重なる攻撃を理由に米国との協議を中止すると発表したため、トランプ大統領はイスラエル首相と何度か激しい電話会談を行ってきた。

イランの和平合意の条件には、敵対行為の停止が含まれる “すべての前線、” レバノンも含まれており、イスラエルがヒズボラの攻撃に対抗して攻撃を再開した3月初旬以来、3,700人近くが殺害されている。

イスラエルとイランは日曜日と月曜日に、ベイルートでのイスラエルの攻撃を受けて4月に停戦が成立して以来初めて攻撃を交換した。

イランとイスラエルは敵対行為を停止し、報復攻撃が再開される可能性があると警告:それが起こったように

アクシオスは月曜日、トランプ大統領が同メディアとの電話インタビューでネタニヤフ首相に警告したと述べたと報じた “もし彼がイランとの戦争に戻ったら、一人で戦っていることに気づくかもしれない。” トランプ大統領は以前、ネタニヤフ首相に電話したとの報道を認めていた “f**キングクレイジー” 先ほどの会話の中で。

BBC北米編集者のサラ スミス氏は、トランプ大統領が月曜日に電話でイスラエル指導者にそうするよう促したと伝えたと述べた “常識を働かせてください、” 彼はそうだと付け加えた “非常に強力な契約締結に非常に近づいています” イラン と。

複数の報道によると、イランがミサイル11発を発射し、そのすべてが迎撃された後、トランプ大統領はネタニヤフ首相に報復しないよう説得しようとしたという。スミス氏によると、トランプ大統領はネタニヤフ首相がイスラエルのミサイルについて話したと述べたという “すでに向かっていました” 彼らが話す頃には。

イランの首席交渉官モハマド・バガー・ガリバフ氏は、レバノンへの攻撃とイランの港の海上封鎖により、米国とイスラエルは正当な標的となったと述べた。

“彼らは停戦にコミットしておらず、対話を信じていません、” 彼は日曜日にXに手紙を書いた。

イランは、米国大統領が完全にイスラエルの命令で戦争を始めたと非難しており、トランプ大統領の国内批判者の一部と同調している。しかし、トランプ氏はそう主張している “が決定権を握る” そして最近、イスラエルはイランと合意した条件を受け入れる以外に選択肢はないと述べた。

The US Army is preparing to carry out its first executions of death-row service members since 1961 if President Donald Trump orders them, ABC News reports, citing an internal planning document.

Trump has advocated wider application of the death penalty as a deterrent against violent crime.

ABC News reported on Saturday that the plan – known as Operation Resolute Justice – was circulated internally in February and requires the military to be ready to carry out executions “no later than 150 days from the date of presidential approval of the death sentences.”

The preparations reportedly include reviewing execution procedures and transferring the four death-row inmates from the US Disciplinary Barracks at Fort Leavenworth, Kansas to the federal execution facility in Terre Haute, Indiana in coordination with the Federal Bureau of Prisons.

Army spokesperson Cynthia Smith downplayed the preparations as a “standard component of our continued planning,” noting that Trump has yet to issue a specific order, as quoted by the publication.

Last September, Secretary of War Pete Hegseth said he would seek presidential approval for the execution of Nidal Hasan. The former US Army major and physician was sentenced to death for the 2009 Fort Hood mass shooting that left 13 people dead and 32 wounded.

The other three army death-row inmates include Sergeant Hasan Akbar, former army cook Ronald Gray, and former master sergeant Timothy Hennis, all of whom were convicted on multiple counts of premeditated murder.

During his first term in office, the Trump administration oversaw 13 federal executions – more than in any other presidential term in modern history.

Shortly after returning to office in 2025, Trump revoked a moratorium on federal executions imposed by his predecessor, Joe Biden, in 2021.

US President Donald Trump threatened to withdraw support for Israel during a tense phone call with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, Axios has reported.

Trump has held several heated phone conversations with the Israeli prime minister since Iran announced last week that it was suspending talks with the US over repeated Israeli strikes in Lebanon.

Iran’s conditions for a peace agreement include the cessation of hostilities on “all fronts,” including Lebanon, where nearly 3,700 people have been killed since early March, when Israel resumed strikes in response to attacks by Hezbollah.

Israel and Iran exchanged strikes on Sunday and Monday for the first time since a ceasefire was reached in April, following an Israeli strike in Beirut.

Iran and Israel halt hostilities, warn tit-for-tat strikes could resume: As it happened

Axios reported on Monday that Trump said in a phone interview with the outlet that he had warned Netanyahu that “if he went back to war with Iran, he might find himself fighting alone.” Trump previously confirmed reports that he had called Netanyahu “f**king crazy” during an earlier conversation.

BBC North America editor Sarah Smith said Trump told her by phone on Monday that he had urged the Israeli leader to “use common sense,” adding that he was “very close to signing a very powerful deal” with Iran.

Multiple reports said Trump tried to persuade Netanyahu not to retaliate after Iran launched 11 missiles, all of which were intercepted. According to Smith, Trump said Netanyahu told him that Israeli missiles “were already on the way” by the time they spoke.

Lebanon on fire: Why Israel derailed US-Iran diplomacy

Iran’s chief negotiator, Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf, said the strikes in Lebanon and the naval blockade of Iranian ports made the US and Israel legitimate targets.

“They are neither committed to a ceasefire nor believe in dialogue,” he wrote on X on Sunday.

Iran has accused the US president of starting the war entirely at Israel’s behest, echoing some of Trump’s domestic critics. Trump, however, has argued that he “calls the shots” and recently said that Israel would have no choice but to accept whatever terms he agreed upon with Iran.

The International Criminal Court has suspended its chief prosecutor, Karim Khan, pending further proceedings over allegations of sexual misconduct.

In a statement on Monday, The Hague-based court said Khan had been suspended with immediate effect pending a final decision by the Assembly of States Parties.

The court said the decision was based on a report by the UN Office of Internal Oversight Services (OIOS), the underlying evidence, written submissions, and advice from an ad hoc panel of experts.

While the court said related documents would remain confidential, Reuters, citing a diplomatic source, reported that the bureau of the ICC’s executive body had ruled that Khan committed “serious misconduct” and recommended removing him from office. He had already taken voluntary leave last year.

The allegations first emerged in 2024, when AP reported that Khan was accused of coercing a female aide into a sexual relationship. Khan has denied any wrongdoing.

According to the New York Times, UN investigators found evidence that Khan had engaged in “non-consensual sexual contact” with a staff member, but judges initially ruled that the findings did not meet the “beyond a reasonable doubt” standard. The investigation reportedly continued in April, with both sides allowed to submit additional evidence.

During Khan’s tenure, the ICC issued arrest warrants for the leaders of Russia and Israel, although neither country recognizes the court’s jurisdiction.

In March 2023, the ICC issued warrants for Russian President Vladimir Putin and the country’s top children’s rights official, Maria Lvova-Belova, on charges of the “unlawful transfer” of children from Ukraine. Russia rejected the allegations, saying it had evacuated children from a war zone and reunited them with their families whenever documentation was available.

In November 2024, the court issued warrants for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and former Defense Minister Yoav Gallant on charges of war crimes in Gaza. Netanyahu dismissed the warrants as “absurd and false.”

Last year, the US imposed sanctions on Khan over his role in authorizing an investigation into the conduct of American troops in Afghanistan and issuing what Washington described as “baseless” arrest warrants for Israeli officials.
