    France’s intelligence chief said Iran’s nuclear program was set back by several months, in his first public remarks since American and Israeli strikes hit Iranian nuclear facilities last month.

    Speaking to France’s LCI broadcaster, Nicolas Lerner, the head of DGSE intelligence service, said that various stages of Iran’s nuclear program had been damaged.

    “Our assessment today is that each of these stages has been very seriously affected, very seriously damaged,” he said.

    “The nuclear program, as we knew it, has been extremely delayed, probably many months.”

    Lerner also told the channel that a small part of Iran’s highly enriched uranium stockpile had been destroyed but the rest remained in the hands of authorities.

    What else do we know about Iran’s uranium stockpile?

    Prior to the strikes, Iran had accumulated a stockpile of highly enriched uranium that, if processed further, could fuel around 10 bombs, according to an assessment by the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA).

    “Today we have indications (on where it is), but we cannot say with certainty as long as the IAEA does not restart its work. It’s very important. We won’t have the capacity to trace it (the stocks),” Lerner said.

    Other intelligence assessments have also suggested that Iran retains a hidden stockpile of enriched uranium and that it could rebuild its nuclear program.

    Iran’s president also last week ordered the country to suspend its cooperation with the IAEA, limiting international inspectors from keeping tabs on the whereabouts of the country’s enriched uranium stockpile.

    Trump to meet Netanyahu again to push for Gaza deal

    US President Donald Trump says he will meet Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu again on Tuesday to push for a Gaza agreement, just a day after the two leaders had dinner at the White House.

    “He’s coming over later. We’re going to be talking about, I would say, almost exclusively Gaza. We’ve got to get that solved,” Trump told reporters at a cabinet meeting. 

    “It’s a tragedy, and he wants to get it solved, and I want to get it solved, and I think the other side wants to.”

    Meanwhile, Trump’s special envoy Steve Witkoff said he was hopeful for a deal between Israel and Hamas, who are holding indirect talks in Qatar.

    He said he hopes for an agreement by the end of the week that would secure a 60-day ceasefire and the release of 10 live hostages and nine deceased.

    Netanyahu is in Washington until Thursday on his third visit since Trump returned to power in January.

    On Tuesday, he was also due to meet Vice President JD Vance, House Speaker Mike Johnson and senators on Capitol Hill.

    Israeli defense minister proposes Rafah facility for displaced Palestinians

    Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz announced plans to contain hundreds of thousands of Palestinians in what he called a “humanitarian city” in the southern Gaza Strip city of Rafah.

    Israeli strikes have largely destroyed Rafah, home to Gaza’s only border crossing with Egypt.

    The plan would initially house some 600,000 Palestinians currently living in tents in the nearby Mawasi area but could be expanded to contain the enter population of the Gaza Strip

    Katz said the area would be administered by unspecified “international partners,” with the Israeli military only providing security.

    People entering the camp would undergo a security check to prevent Hamas militants from entering the area, he said.

    Katz also said the proposed camp would assist Palestinian residents to “voluntarily emigrate” out of Gaza — a move which critics say would amount to forced expulsion.

    The Times of Israel newspaper noted that while Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has said it is not his plan to expel Palestinians against their will, his government is nevertheless beholden to some far-right coalition partners who have previously discussed the idea of forcibly expelling Palestinians from Gaza to make way for new Jewish settlements.

    EU reports 3 mariners killed in Houthi attack on Red Sea vessel

    Three mariners were killed in an attack on a Liberian-flagged bulk carrier in the Red Sea carried out by Yemen-based Houthi rebels, according to a EU naval force operating in the region.

    The attack on the Greek-owned vessel “Eternity C” took place on Monday evening in an attack that involved drones and speedboats. 

    It comes a day after another ship, the Magic Seas, was attacked on Sunday. That vessel ended up sinking on Monday, but the crew was able to abandon ship.

    The two attacks are the first by Houthis on Red Sea shipping since November 2024. Although the Iran-backed Houthis have not claimed the second attack, the US Embassy in Yemen accused the militant group of being behind the attack on the Eternity C and said they were “once again showing a blatant disregard for human life.”

    The United Kingdom Maritime Trade Operations (UKMTO) said the vessel was repeatedly attacked and had been badly damaged.

    “The vessel has sustained significant damage and has lost all propulsion,” UKMTO, which is run by the British navy, said in a statement.

    The US Embassy in Yemen accused the Iran-backed Houthis said they were “once again showing a blatant disregard for human life.”

    The EU said the attacks on Red Sea shipping were “a serious escalation endangering maritime security in a vital waterway for the region and the world”

    The Houthis have been launching missile and drone attacks against commercial and military ships in the region in what the group’s leadership has described as an effort to end Israel’s offensive against Hamas in the Gaza Strip. The Houthis had paused attacks until the US launched an assault against the group in mid-March.

    The US operation ended after a few weeks, and the Houthis hadn’t attacked a vessel until this weekend.

    Israel’s military said that five of its soldiers were killed in Gaza during combat operations overnight into Tuesday. 

    “All of Israel bows its head and mourns the fall of our heroic soldiers, who risked their lives in the battle to defeat Hamas and free all our hostages,” Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu posted on X.

    The military said 14 other soldiers were injured, one seriously.

    Israeli military correspondents reported that the deaths took place when improvised explosive devices detonated in the area of Beit Hanun in the north of the territory.

    The Times of Israel newspaper reports that the death toll for Israel’s military as a result of the ground offensive against Hamas in Gaza now stands at 449 dead.

    Who is eligible for the Nobel Peace Prize? And who can nominate?

    Anyone or any organization can be nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize, but only a select group of people can actually make a nomination.

    As a member of a national parliament, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is eligible to nominate US President Donald Trump for the prize.

    This privilege also extends to cabinet members and heads of state.

    Other categories listed in the Norwegian Nobel Committee’s criteria include, among others, university professors, members of certain international courts, directors of peace research institutes and foreign policy institutes, past Nobel laureates, and current and former members of the Norwegian Nobel Committee.

    The Norwegian Nobel Institute has so far registered a total of 338 candidates for the 2025 peace prize. Of them, 244 are individuals and 94 are organizations.

    The names of the nominations and the nominators for a given year are not divulged until 50 years after the prize has been awarded. However, some high-profile cases tend to attract media attention — such as the several times Trump has been nominated over the years.

    “The clinic had been providing care to thousands of patients, particularly as the area became increasingly overcrowded with displaced residents from eastern Gaza following evacuation orders issued by the Israeli occupation,” the Red Crescent said.

    “With the clinic’s closure, thousands of civilians will now be forced to walk long distances to access medical care or obtain childhood vaccinations.”

    Israeli military actions or evacuation orders have forced 18 Palestine Red Crescent medical clinics to close since the beginning of the assault on Gaza, the group said.

    Iran says at least 1,060 people killed in war with Israel

    Iran has increased the official death toll from the 12-day war with Israel last month.

    Saeed Ohadi, the head of Iran’s Foundation of Martyrs and Veterans’ Affairs, said late on Monday that Israeli attacks had killed at least 1,060 people.

    He warned that the death toll could still increase because some people were severely wounded.

    Iran initially downplayed the effects of Israeli bombardment and did not frequently update the death toll.

    The Washington-based group Human Rights Activists counted 1,190 deaths and at least 4,475 wounded.

    Netanyahu nominates Trump for Nobel Peace Prize, hails attacks on Iran

    Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu told Donald Trump on Monday that he was nominating the US president for a Nobel Peace Prize as the pair hailed their recent strikes on Iran’s key nuclear facilities.

    Netanyahu and Trump sat down with their top aides for a dinner in Washington to mark the Iran operation and discuss a 60-day ceasefire proposal aimed at halting the 21-month conflict in Gaza.

    “He’s forging peace as we speak, and one country and one region after the other,” Netanyahu said as he presented Trump with a nominating letter, adding that he is sending it to the Nobel Peace Prize committee.

    The development comes after Trump ordered US forces to drop “bunker-buster” bombs and fire a barrage of Tomahawk missiles on three nuclear sites in Iran.

    In an interview published on Monday, Iran’s President Masoud Pezeshkian said the US airstrikes so badly damaged nuclear facilities that Iranian authorities have not been able to access them.

    Netanyahu’s outwardly triumphant visit to the White House, his third this year, is dogged by Israel’s war against Hamas in Gaza and questions over how hard Trump will push for an end to the conflict.

    But in an exchange before the dinner got underway, both Trump and Netanyahu expressed optimism that their success in Iran would mark a new era in the Middle East.

    “I think things are going to be really settled down a lot in the Middle East,” Trump said. “And, they respect us and they respect Israel.”

    Negotiations had started in April but were scuttled after Israel began its operations last month.

    “We have scheduled Iran talks, and they want to,” Trump told reporters. “They want to talk.” He said last week that the talks would restart soon.

    Trump’s Middle East envoy, Steve Witkoff, sitting at the table with Trump, said the meeting would be soon, perhaps in a week, but Iran has yet to confirm the arrangement.

    Netanyahu says against independent Palestinian state

    Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Monday he wanted peace with Palestinians, but described any future independent Palestinian state as a platform to destroy Israel.

    Speaking in Washington, where he met with US President Donald Trump, Netanyahu described the October 7, 2023, Hamas attack on Israel from the Gaza Strip, where Hamas was in control, as evidence of what Palestinians would do with a state.

    Trump said he didn’t know if a two-state solution was possible and passed the question over to Netanyahu, who said: “I think the Palestinians should have all the powers to govern themselves, but none of the powers to threaten us. That means a sovereign power, like overall security, will always remain in our hands.”

    Donald Trump said late on Monday that Hamas is keen on having a ceasefire with Israel amid the ongoing Gaza conflict.

    “They [Hamas] want to meet and they want to have that ceasefire,” Trump said at the start of a White House dinner with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.

    US Special Envoy Steve Witkoff said there was an opportunity to reach an agreement quickly.

    White House spokeswoman Karoline Leavitt said that Witkoff “intends to travel to Doha later this week” to participate in the mediation talks.

    Leavitt heaped praise on Qatar and Egypt for being “incredibly helpful partners in mediating these negotiations and discussions to bring peace to this region and end this conflict once and for all.”

    Programul nuclear iranian „extrem de întârziat” — șeful serviciilor secrete franceze

    Roshni Majumdar cu Reuters, AFP07/09/20259 iulie 2025

    Programul nuclear iranian a fost grav afectat în urma atacurilor americane și israeliene, dar nu există nicio certitudine cu privire la locația stocului de uraniu puternic îmbogățit al Iranului, potrivit șefului serviciilor secrete franceze.

    Programul nuclear iranian a fost întârziat de mai multe luni după atacurile americane și israeliene asupra instalațiilor nucleare iraniene de luna trecută, potrivit șefului serviciilor de informații franceze.

    Într-o declarație adresată crainicului francez LCI în primele sale remarci de la bombardament, Nicolas Lerner, șeful serviciului de informații DGSE, a declarat marți că diferite etape ale programului nuclear al Iranului au fost avariate.

    „Evaluarea noastră de astăzi este că fiecare dintre aceste etape a fost foarte grav afectată, foarte grav avariată”, a spus el. „Programul nuclear, așa cum îl știam, a fost extrem de întârziat, probabil multe luni”, a adăugat el.

    Lerner a declarat, de asemenea, pentru canal că o mică parte din stocul de uraniu puternic îmbogățit al Iranului a fost distrusă, dar restul a rămas în mâinile autorităților.

    Șeful serviciilor de informații franceze, Nicolas Lerner, a declarat că locul unde se află stocurile de uraniu îmbogățit ale Iranului este necunoscut [FIȘIER: 6 decembrie 2023]Imagine: Lafargue Raphael/abaca/picture alliance

    Ce altceva știm despre stocul de uraniu al Iranului?

    Iranul acumulase un stoc de uraniu puternic îmbogățit care, dacă ar fi procesat în continuare, ar putea alimenta aproximativ 10 bombe, conform unei evaluări realizate de Agenția Internațională pentru Energie Atomică (AIEA) la începutul acestui an.

    „Astăzi avem indicii (despre unde se află acesta), dar nu putem spune cu certitudine atâta timp cât AIEA nu își reia activitatea. Este foarte important. Nu vom avea capacitatea de a-l urmări (stocurile)”, a spus Lerner.

    Citește mai multe știri pe top10stiri.ro

    Alte evaluări ale serviciilor de informații au sugerat, de asemenea, că Iranul deține un stoc ascuns de uraniu îmbogățit și că și-ar putea reconstrui programul nuclear.

    Președintele Iranului, Masoud Pezeshkian, a ordonat săptămâna trecută țării să suspende cooperarea cu AIEA, împiedicând inspectorii internaționali să urmărească locul unde se află… stocul de uraniu îmbogățit al țării.

    Ce a spus AIEA despre uraniul îmbogățit al Iranului?

    Rafael Grossi, directorul general al AIEA, a declarat luna trecută că Iranul ar putea începe să producă din nou uraniu îmbogățit în câteva luni.

    Grossi a spus că atacurile americane și israeliene asupra siturilor nucleare iraniene au provocat daune grave, dar „nu totale”, contrazicând afirmația președintelui american Donald Trump conform căreia instalațiile nucleare ale Iranului au fost „total distruse”.

    CPI emite mandate de arestare pentru liderii talibani

    John Silk AP, AFP, Reuters, dpa07/09/20259 iulie 2025

    Curtea ONU a declarat că talibanii au „privat grav fetele și femeile de dreptul la educație, intimitate și viață de familie și de libertatea de mișcare, exprimare, gândire, conștiință și religie”.

    https://p.dw.com/p/4xAEDPotrivit ONU, aproape 80% dintre femeile sub 30 de ani sunt excluse de la educație sau de la muncă în AfganistanImagine: Peter Dejong/AP/dpa/picture alianță

    Curtea Penală Internațională (CPI) a emis marți mandate de arestare pe numele liderului suprem și președintelui Curții Supreme a talibanilor, acuzându-i de persecutarea fetelor și femeilor în Afganistan.

    CPI a declarat că există motive să creadă că liderul spiritual suprem Haibatullah Akhundzada și Abdul Hakim Haqqani, președintele Curții Supreme a talibanilor, au comis crima împotriva umanității de persecuție pe motive de gen împotriva fetelor, femeilor și „altor persoane care nu se conformează” politicii talibanilor privind genul, identitatea de gen sau exprimarea genului, se arată într-un comunicat al curții ONU.

    „Deși talibanii au impus anumite reguli și interdicții populației în ansamblu, aceștia au vizat în mod specific fetele și femeile din cauza genului lor, privându-le de drepturi și libertăți fundamentale”, a continuat declarația.

    Talibanii au „privat grav” fetele și femeile de dreptul la educație, intimitate și viață de familie și de libertatea de mișcare, exprimare, gândire, conștiință și religie, au declarat judecătorii CPI.

    „În plus, alte persoane au fost vizate deoarece anumite expresii ale sexualității și/sau identității de gen au fost considerate incompatibile cu politica talibanilor privind genul.”

    Care a fost răspunsul talibanilor?

    Tribunalul cu sediul la Haga a susținut că crimele au avut loc începând cu 15 august 2021, când talibanii au preluat puterea, și au durat cel puțin până pe 20 ianuarie 2025.

    Talibanii au respins mandatele de arestare ca fiind „prostii” și că decizia CPI „nu va afecta angajamentul și dedicarea puternică față de sharia (legea islamică)”, a declarat purtătorul de cuvânt Zabihullah Mujahid a declarat într-un comunicat.

    Care este scopul CPI?

    CPI a fost creată pentru a judeca cele mai grave crime din lume, cum ar fi crimele de război și crimele împotriva umanității. Curtea nu are o forță de poliție proprie și se bazează pe statele membre pentru a executa mandatele de arestare.

    În teorie, aceasta înseamnă că orice persoană care face obiectul unui mandat de arestare CPI nu poate călători într-un stat membru de teama de a fi reținută. În practică, acest lucru nu a fost întotdeauna așa.

    De la revenirea la putere acum patru ani, talibanii au impus măsuri care includ interzicerea accesului femeilor în locurile publice și interzicerea fetelor de a merge la școală după clasa a șasea.

    Săptămâna trecută, Rusia a devenit prima țară care a recunoscut oficial regimul taliban.

    Tunisia o condamnă pe liderul opoziției Ghannouchi și pe alții

    Tanika Godbole cu AP, Reuters07/09/20259 iulie 2025

    O instanță tunisiană a condamnat 21 de politicieni și oficiali de rang înalt la pedepse cu închisoarea cuprinse între 12 și 35 de ani. Președintele Kais Saied a fost acuzat că a folosit sistemul judiciar pentru a reprima oponenții.

    Tunisia a condamnat marți mai mulți politicieni și oficiali de rang înalt, inclusiv liderul opoziției Rached Ghannouchi, la închisoare.

    O instanță a condamnat un total de 21 de persoane la pedepse între 12 și 35 de ani de închisoare într-un proces în masă.

    Zece persoane sunt deja în arest, iar 11 au fugit din țară.

    Acuzațiile includ participarea la o organizație legată de acte teroriste, incitare la violență, tentativă de răsturnare a guvernului și recrutarea și antrenarea de persoane în scopuri teroriste în Tunisia și în străinătate.

    „Toate acuzațiile s-au bazat pe o mărturie falsă și contradictorie a unui martor secret, anonim, care nu a prezentat nicio dovadă pentru acuzațiile sale nefondate și contradictorii și care, în cele din urmă, le-a retras pe majoritatea”, au declarat avocații apărării lui Ghannouchi într-un… declarație.

    Ce figuri ale opoziției a închis Tunisia?

    Ghannouchi, liderul partidului Ennahda și fost președinte al parlamentului, care a fost dizolvat de președintele Kais Saied, a primit o condamnare de 14 ani. El se află în închisoare din 2023 și a primit trei condamnări în cazuri separate, însumând 27 de ani.

    Liderul islamist în vârstă de 84 de ani a refuzat să se prezinte în instanță, susținând că sistemul judiciar este puternic controlat de guvern.

    Fostul șef al serviciilor de informații Kamel Guizani, fostul ministru de externe Rafik Abdessalem și Mouadh Ghannouchi, fiul lui Rached Ghannouchi, au fost condamnați cu toții la 35 de ani. Aceștia au părăsit deja țara.

    Alte persoane care au primit condamnarea au fost Nadia Akacha, fosta șef de cabinet al președintelui Kais Saied, a declarat postul local de radio Mosaique FM.

    Cum a reprimat Saied opoziția?

    Saied a preluat puterea acum șase ani și a dizolvat parlamentul ales în 2021. De atunci, el a reprimat din ce în ce mai mult vocile opoziției.

    În aprilie a acestui an, 66 de politicieni, proprietari de afaceri și avocați au fost condamnați la până la 66 de ani de închisoare.

    Activiștii și figurile opoziției spun că democrația tunisiană, care s-a născut în timpul revoltelor Primăverii Arabe din 2011, a fost din ce în ce mai subminată, acuzându-l pe Saied că folosește sistemul judiciar și forțele de securitate pentru a-și atinge obiectivele politice.

    Saied a susținut că aceste acțiuni sunt necesare pentru a pune capăt corupției în rândul elitei.

    Curtea Supremă deschide calea pentru ca Trump să urmărească concedierile federale

    John Silk cu AP, AFP, Reuters, dpa07/09/20259 iulie 2025

    Curtea Supremă a SUA a ridicat blocajul impus reducerilor masive de personal federal de către președintele Donald Trump. O instanță inferioară a oprit concedierile pe motiv că reducerile necesită probabil aprobarea Congresului.

    Marți, Curtea Supremă a SUA i-a acordat președintelui Donald Trump încă o victorie, sistemul judiciar dând undă verde administrației sale pentru a continua reducerea locurilor de muncă federale, care ar putea număra sute de mii.

    Făcând acest lucru, cea mai înaltă instanță din Statele Unite a anulat ordinele instanțelor inferioare care au înghețat temporar reducerile, efectuate de Departamentul pentru Eficiență Guvernamentală (DOGE), condus inițial de miliardarul Elon Musk.

    Ce înseamnă hotărârea?

    Judecătorii, într-o hotărâre care nu a fost semnată și nu a dezvăluit numărătoarea voturilor, au ridicat o ordonanță judecătorească emisă de o instanță inferioară care blocase inițial propunerile administrației Trump în timp ce procedurile legale continuau în instanțele inferioare.

    Decizia de marți înseamnă că lucrătorii pot fi concediați în timp ce procedurile judiciare sunt în desfășurare.

    Instanța a declarat că judecătorilor nu li s-au prezentat locuri de muncă specifice, ci doar un ordin executiv emis de Trump și o directivă administrativă pentru ca agențiile să efectueze reduceri de locuri de muncă.

    A votat vreunul dintre judecători împotriva lui Trump?

    Judecătoarea Ketanji Brown Jackson a fost singurul membru al comisiei care și-a exprimat public opinia diferită, acuzându-și colegii de un „entuziasm demonstrat pentru aprobarea acțiunilor dubioase din punct de vedere juridic ale acestui președinte într-o situație de urgență”.

    Jackson a avertizat asupra implicațiilor enorme. „Această acțiune executivă promite concedieri masive de angajați, anularea pe scară largă a programelor și serviciilor federale și dezmembrarea unei mari părți a guvernului federal așa cum l-a creat Congresul”, a scris ea.

    Cum l-a susținut Curtea Supremă pe Trump?

    În ultimele luni, Curtea Supremă a permis administrației Trump să reia deportarea migranților în alte țări decât a lor, fără a le oferi șansa de a demonstra daunele cu care s-ar putea confrunta și să pună capăt statutului legal temporar acordat anterior din motive umanitare sutelor de mii de migranți.

    În plus, instanța supremă i-a permis lui Trump să implementeze interdicția privind persoanele transgender în armata Statelor Unite, a blocat ordinul unui judecător ca administrația să reangajeze mii de angajați concediați, a dat de două ori partea DOGE și a limitat puterea judecătorilor federali de a impune hotărâri la nivel național care împiedică politicile prezidențiale.

    Până la sfârșitul lunii aprilie 2025, eforturile DOGE au dus la concedierea, demisiile și pensionările anticipate ale unora 260.000 de angajați federali, conform unui număr realizat de agenția de știri Reuters.

    CNN  — 

    Cruising at a depth of 8,336 meters (over 27,000 feet) just above the seabed, a young snailfish has become the deepest fish ever filmed by scientists during a probe into the abyss of the northern Pacific Ocean.

    Scientists from University of Western Australia and Tokyo University of Marine Science and Technology released footage of the snailfish on Sunday filmed last September by sea robots in deep trenches off Japan.

    Along with the filming the deepest snailfish, the scientists physically caught two other specimens at 8,022 meters and set another record for the deepest catch.

    Previously, the deepest snailfish ever spotted was at 7,703 meters in 2008, while scientists had never been able to collect fish from anywhere below 8,000 meters.

    “What is significant is that it shows how far a particular type of fish will descend in the ocean,” said marine biologist Alan Jamieson, founder of the Minderoo-UWA Deep Sea Research Centre, who led the expedition.

    Caladan Oceanic

    Scientists are filming in the trenches off Japan as part of a 10-year study into the deepest fish populations in the world. Snailfish are members of Liparidae family, and while most snailfish live in shallow water, others survive at some of the greatest depths ever recorded, Jamieson said.

    During the two-month survey last year, three “landers” – automatic sea robots fitted with high-resolution cameras – were dropped into three trenches – the Japan, Izu-Ogasawara and Ryukyu trenches – at varying depths.

    In the Izu-Ogasawara trench, footage showed the deepest snailfish hovering calmly alongside other crustaceans on the seabed.

    Jamieson classified the fish as a juvenile and said younger deep sea snailfish often stay as deep as possible to avoid being eaten by bigger predators that swim at shallower depths.

    Another clip shot at between 7,500 and 8,200 meters in the same trench showed a colony of fish and crustaceans munching at bait tied to an undersea robot.

    Images of the two captured snailfish – identified as Pseudoliparis belyaevi – provide a rare glimpse of the unique features that help the deep sea species survive the extreme environment.

    They have tiny eyes, a translucent body, and their lack of swim bladder, which helps other fish float, works to their advantage, Jamieson said.

    The professor said the Pacific Ocean is particularly conducive to vibrant activity due to its warm southern current, which encourages sea creatures to go deeper, while its abundant marine life provides a good source of food for bottom feeders.

    Scientists would like to know more about creatures living at extreme depths, but cost is the constraint, Jamieson said, adding that each lander alone costs them $200,000 to assemble and operate.

    “The challenges are that technology has been expensive and scientists don’t have a lot of money,” he said.

    Editor’s Note: This story was originally published in April 2023.

    CNN  — 

    Slumped on his club, head buried in his arm, Rory McIlroy looked on the verge of tears.

    The then-21-year-old had just watched his ball sink into the waters of Rae’s Creek at Augusta National and with it, his dream of winning The Masters, a dream that had looked so tantalizingly close mere hours earlier.

    As a four-time major winner and one of the most decorated names in the sport’s history, few players would turn down the chance to swap places with McIlroy heading into Augusta this week.

    Yet on Sunday afternoon of April 10, 2011, not a golfer in the world would have wished to be in the Northern Irishman’s shoes.

    Flying

    A fresh-faced, mop-headed McIlroy had touched down in Georgia for the first major of the season with a reputation as the leading light of the next generation of stars.

    An excellent 2010 had marked his best season since turning pro three years earlier, highlighted by a first PGA Tour win at the Quail Hollow Championship and a crucial contribution to Team Europe’s triumph at the Ryder Cup.

    Yet despite a pair of impressive top-three finishes at the Open and PGA Championship respectively, a disappointing missed cut at The Masters – his first at a major – served as ominous foreshadowing.

    McIlroy shot 74 and 77 to fall four strokes short of the cut line at seven-over par, a performance that concerned him enough to take a brief sabbatical from competition.

    But one year on in 2011, any lingering Masters demons looked to have been exorcised as McIlroy flew round the Augusta fairways.

    Having opened with a bogey-free seven-under 65 – the first time he had ever shot in the 60s at the major – McIlroy pulled ahead from Spanish first round co-leader Alvaro Quirós with a second round 69.

    It sent him into the weekend holding a two-shot cushion over Australia’s Jason Day, with Tiger Woods a further stroke behind and back in the hunt for a 15th major after a surging second round 66.

    And yet the 21-year-old leader looked perfectly at ease with having a target on his back. Even after a tentative start to the third round, McIlroy rallied with three birdies across the closing six holes to stretch his lead to four strokes heading into Sunday.

    The youngster was out on his own ahead of a bunched chasing pack comprising Day, Ángel Cabrera, K.J. Choi and Charl Schwartzel. After 54 holes, McIlroy had shot just three bogeys.

    “It’s a great position to be in … I’m finally feeling comfortable on this golf course,” McIlroy told reporters.

    “I’m not getting ahead of myself, I know how leads can dwindle away very quickly. I have to go out there, not take anything for granted and go out and play as hard as I’ve played the last three days. If I can do that, hopefully things will go my way.

    “We’ll see what happens tomorrow because four shots on this golf course isn’t that much.”

    Falling

    The truth can hurt, and McIlroy was about to prove his assessment of Augusta to be true in the most excruciating way imaginable.

    His fourth bogey of the week arrived immediately. Having admitted to expecting some nerves at the first tee, McIlroy sparked a booming opening drive down the fairway, only to miss his putt from five feet.

    Three consecutive pars steadied the ship, but Schwartzel had the wind in his sails. A blistering birdie, par, eagle start had seen him draw level at the summit after his third hole.

    A subsequent bogey from the South African slowed his charge, as McIlroy clung onto a one-shot lead at the turn from Schwartzel, Cabrera, Choi, and a rampaging Woods, who shot five birdies and an eagle across the front nine to send Augusta into a frenzy.

    Despite his dwindling advantage and the raucous Tiger-mania din ahead of him, McIlroy had responded well to another bogey at the 5th hole, draining a brilliant 20-foot putt at the 7th to restore his lead.

    The fist pump that followed marked the high-water point of McIlroy’s round, as a sliding start accelerated into full-blown free-fall at the par-four 10th hole.

    His tee shot went careening into a tree, ricocheting to settle between the white cabins that separate the main course from the adjacent par-three course. It offered viewers a glimpse at a part of Augusta rarely seen on broadcast, followed by pictures of McIlroy anxiously peering out from behind a tree to track his follow-up shot.

    Though his initial escape was successful, yet another collision with a tree and a two-putt on the green saw a stunned McIlroy eventually tap in for a triple bogey. Having led the field one hole and seven shots earlier, he arrived at the 11th tee in seventh.

    By the time his tee drive at the 13th plopped into the creek, all thoughts of who might be the recipient of the green jacket had long-since switched away from the anguished youngster. It had taken him seven putts to navigate the previous two greens, as a bogey and a double bogey dropped him to five-under – the score he had held after just 11 holes of the tournament.

    Mercifully, the last five holes passed without major incident. A missed putt for birdie from five feet at the final hole summed up McIlroy’s day, though he was given a rousing reception as he left the green.

    Mere minutes earlier, the same crowd had erupted as Schwartzel sunk his fourth consecutive birdie to seal his first major title. After starting the day four shots adrift of McIlroy, the South African finished 10 shots ahead of him, and two ahead of second-placed Australian duo Jason Day and Adam Scott.

    McIlroy’s eight-over 80 marked the highest score of the round. Having headlined the leaderboard for most of the week, he finished tied-15th.

    Bounce-back

    Tears would flow during a phone call with his parents the following morning, but at his press conference, McIlroy was upbeat.

    “I’m very disappointed at the minute, and I’m sure I will be for the next few days, but I’ll get over it,” he said.

    “I was leading this golf tournament with nine holes to go, and I just unraveled … It’s a Sunday at a major, what it can do.

    “This is my first experience at it, and hopefully the next time I’m in this position I’ll be able to handle it a little better. I didn’t handle it particularly well today obviously, but it was a character-building day … I’ll come out stronger for it.”

    Once again, McIlroy would be proven right.

    Just eight weeks later in June, McIlroy rampaged to an eight-shot victory at the US Open. Records tumbled in his wake at Congressional, as he shot a tournament record 16-under 268 to become the youngest major winner since Tiger Woods at The Masters in 1997.

    Jim Watson / AFP via Getty Images

    The historic victory kickstarted a golden era for McIlroy. After coasting to another eight-shot win at the PGA Championship in 2012, McIlroy became only the third golfer since 1934 to win three majors by the age of 25 with triumph at the 2014 Open Championship.

    Before the year was out, he would add his fourth major title with another PGA Championship win.

    And much of it was owed to that fateful afternoon at Augusta. In an interview with the BBC in 2015, McIlroy dubbed it “the most important day” of his career.

    “If I had not had the whole unravelling, if I had just made a couple of bogeys coming down the stretch and lost by one, I would not have learned as much.

    “Luckily, it did not take me long to get into a position like that again when I was leading a major and I was able to get over the line quite comfortably. It was a huge learning curve for me and I needed it, and thankfully I have been able to move on to bigger and better things.

    “Looking back on what happened in 2011, it doesn’t seem as bad when you have four majors on your mantelpiece.”

    The missing piece

    McIlroy’s contentment came with a caveat: it would be “unthinkable” if he did not win The Masters in his career.

    Yet as he prepares for his 15th appearance at Augusta National this week, a green jacket remains an elusive missing item from his wardrobe.

    Despite seven top-10 finishes in his past 10 Masters outings, the trophy remains the only thing separating McIlroy from joining the ranks of golf immortals to have completed golf’s career grand slam of all four majors in the modern era: Gene Sarazen, Ben Hogan, Gary Player, Jack Nicklaus, and Tiger Woods.

    Mike Mulholland / Getty Images

    A runner-up finish to Scottie Scheffler last year marked McIlroy’s best finish at Augusta, yet arguably 2011 remains the closest he has ever been to victory. A slow start in 2022 meant McIlroy had begun Sunday’s deciding round 10 shots adrift of the American, who teed off for his final hole with a five-shot lead despite McIlroy’s brilliant 64 finish.

    video

    At 33 years old, time is still on his side. Though 2022 extended his major drought to eight years, it featured arguably his best golf since that golden season in 2014.

    And as McIlroy knows better than most, things can change quickly at Augusta National.
