Iran launched attacks on US sites in the Gulf in response to American strikes on the country, state media said on June 27, after Washington accused Tehran of attacking one of its cargo ships in the Strait of Hormuz. The trading of fire raised questions about efforts to keep the crucial waterway open while Washington and Tehran negotiate a final settlement to a war that began on February 28 with US and Israeli strikes on Iran. ]]></image:caption>

<image:caption><![CDATA[ Paraguay defeated Turkey 1-0 in their World Cup Group D match. Matías Galarza scored the only goal just 65 seconds into the game. During the match, the referee's watch fell off during the Paraguay vs. Turkey match. Paraguayan midfielder Matías Galarza casually picked it up, looked around to make sure no one noticed, and even slipped it onto his own wrist for a few seconds. A moment later, he handed it back to the referee with a smile, joking that he should keep a closer eye on it. Football never fails to deliver these hilarious moments. ]]></image:caption>
