A U.S. Air Force B-52 Stratofortress went down on takeoff at Edwards Air Force Base, with emergency crews responding and the situation ongoing.

The crash was reported at about 11:20 a.m. at the base in California's Mojave Desert, roughly 100 miles north of Los Angeles. Edwards Air Force Base confirmed the incident and said crews had immediately responded to the scene.

No information on crew status or casualties has been released.

The B-52 is a long-range bomber used for a variety of military missions, capable of subsonic speeds and altitudes of 50,000 feet. It was a workhorse of Operation Desert Storm in 1991 and has been the backbone of the United States' bomber force for decades.

The base said more information will be provided as it becomes available.

Vice President JD Vance confirmed in a CBS interview, Iran could access a $300 billion reconstruction fund as part of the U.S. and Iran peace agreement, funded by the Gulf Cooperation Council Coalition.

Vance argued, Tehran hard-liners would emphasize benefits while downplaying required concessions on nuclear programs and oversight.

The revelation sparked immediate criticism on social media.

University of Wisconsin-Madison statistics professor Karl Rohe noted, "Can we talk about the scale of problems that are going to arise from spending 300 billion? This is 500%-600% larger than the entire annual budget of the Iranian govt. It is one year of Iranian GDP *of the ENTIRE COUNTRY.* This is insane."

Analysts highlighted the contradiction with President Donald Trump's earlier claims that Iran would receive no money.

"We are going to pay Iran $300 billion to rebuild from the war we started. Wrap your head around that when they claim that Trump is a master negotiator," Fred Wellman, a U.S. Army veteran and Lincoln Project communications strategist, wrote on X.

Critics characterized the reconstruction fund as significantly exceeding Obama-era concessions to Iran.

A Fox News host faced backlash after he said it was "remarkable" that President Donald Trump could walk during a G7 event in France.

John Roberts, co-anchor of "America Reports" on Fox News, remarked live Monday as Trump arrived at the Group of Seven summit in Évian-les-Bains — hours after footage circulated of the president apparently nodding off cage-side at his own White House UFC event.

"The fact that he could even walk, Peter, given all he's been through in the last twenty-four hours, I think, really is quite remarkable," Roberts told Fox News correspondent Peter Doocy during live coverage of the summit's opening arrivals. "He's gotta be beyond exhausted."

Video from the night before had circulated widely, showing Trump with his eyes closed and his head leaning during the main event of UFC Freedom 250 — his own 80th birthday celebration on the White House South Lawn. The Mirror reported that Trump appeared to rouse when music began playing, purportedly asking those nearby, "What just happened?"

Trump had drawn similar scrutiny the week before for apparently nodding off during Game 3 of the NBA Finals at Madison Square Garden.

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, a New York Democrat, posted on X, "WAKE TF UP," in response to the footage, while detractors had taken to calling Trump the "Commander-in-Sleep."

"Why are old Republicans always graded on a curve?" wrote Mehta on X, quote-posting the Roberts clip.

"The emperor has clothes! He has so many clothes! I promise he's clothed!" Cocchiarella added on X, riffing on the fairy tale.

Trump had hosted the UFC event Sunday night, sitting cage-side between first lady Melania Trump and UFC CEO Dana White, before boarding Air Force One for an overnight flight to France.

Both Russian President Vladimir Putin and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy had phoned Trump on his birthday, with the conflicts in Ukraine and Iran expected to dominate the summit.

The G7 runs through Wednesday.
