From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.

At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.

The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.

Your support makes all the difference.

The leading state prosecutor has criticised a statement from Iran expressing its willingness to help to solve Argentina's worst terrorist attack.

Alberto Nisman said Iran's offer was just empty words unless it handed over the Iranian suspects sought by Argentina in the bombing of a Jewish centre in Buenos Aires that killed 85 people on 18 July 1994. The Iranian foreign ministry issued a statement referring to today's anniversary of the attack, saying Iran condemned terrorism, expressed sympathy for the victims' families and wanted to help to investigate the attack.

But Iran also accused Argentine prosecutors of unfairly accusing Iranian citizens, and said it had a duty to defend them. AP
