Security concerns and on-field drama are colliding across the sports world. In Washington, the FBI says it foiled an alleged explosive-drone plot targeting the White House UFC Freedom 250 event attended by President Trump, with several suspects now in custody after what authorities describe as a broader conspiracy. On a lighter but still headline-grabbing note, Serena and Venus Williams are heading back to Wimbledon together after receiving a women’s doubles wildcard, reviving one of tennis’s most iconic partnerships as the sisters chase another chapter on grass. At the World Cup, the mood is more strained: Iran coach Amir Ghalenoei says his side has become the tournament’s “most oppressed” team, blaming U.S. travel and visa disruptions for undermining preparations, while Tunisia has reacted brutally to a 5-1 opening loss to Sweden by firing Sabri Lamouchi and turning to Hervé Renard in a bid to rescue its campaign.
