  The Pentagon is gearing up for a high-stakes press conference to defend the U.S. airstrikes on Iran’s nuclear facilities, after a leaked intelligence report suggested the damage was far less severe than President Trump claims. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth and top military officials will present what Trump calls “irrefutable” evidence that the strikes crippled Iran’s nuclear ambitions — contradicting initial Pentagon assessments that the attacks only set the program back by a short period. The briefing is framed as a defense of the mission’s success and the pilots who executed it, with Trump vowing to silence critics who downplayed the operation’s impact. The stakes couldn’t be higher. Trump has repeatedly insisted that the strikes “completely and totally obliterated” Iran’s nuclear capabilities, a claim backed by CIA Director John Ratcliffe, who cited new intelligence showing severe damage that could take years to repair. Yet, the Defense Intelligence Agency’s preliminary repor...

  Donald Trump brokered a ceasefire between Israel and Iran — but behind the scenes, both sides are still at war. Here’s why this fragile peace could explode any moment.” The Israel-Iran conflict reached a boiling point in June 2025, with both nations exchanging missile strikes for 12 brutal days. The war began after Israel bombed Iran’s nuclear facilities, claiming it was preventing Tehran from developing atomic weapons. Iran retaliated by targeting U.S. troops in Qatar and launching ballistic missiles at Israeli cities like Beersheba, killing civilians. Just as the conflict threatened to spiral into a regional war, President Trump announced a ceasefire — but not without lashing out at both sides for violating it almost immediately. Trump’s ceasefire deal was a high-stakes gamble. He framed it as a victory, declaring he had “obliterated” Iran’s nuclear program with U.S. bunker-buster bombs. However, leaked intelligence reports revealed a different story: the strikes only set Iran’...

  As Israel and Iran exchange deadly missile strikes for the seventh straight day, Tehran delivers a chilling warning: “No diplomacy until the bombs stop falling.” But with the US secretly preparing bunker-buster bombs, is time running out? The Israel-Iran war has reached a dangerous stalemate, with Tehran refusing any negotiations unless Israel halts its air campaign. Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi declared there is no room for diplomacy as long as aggression continues, ahead of high-stakes talks with European diplomats in Geneva. The US, meanwhile, is sending mixed signals — President Trump has delayed a decision on joining Israel’s strikes but warned Iran faces “unconditional surrender” if diplomacy fails. European powers are scrambling to prevent a wider war. UK Foreign Secretary David Lammy, fresh from White House talks with US officials, will deliver a US-backed message to Iran: a diplomatic solution is still possible — but only if Tehran scales back its nuclear prog...

   France is in a juncture. A classified document on organized radical Islam reveals attempts by Muslim Brotherhood to destabilize French society in over 50 years. It is not the traditional terrorism; it relies on ideological brainwashing, money circulations, and partisanized institutions to create a defective democracy. In abusing the French freedom, the Brotherhood seeks to destroy French freedom. The Brotherhood has a vast scope. It dominates a high number of mosques and hundreds of associations working in the areas of education, sport, and charity. They are organized into teams that constitute a kind of ecosystems that decide the religigious life of every Muslim, and will create an alternative society where the set of religious laws operate in the place of civic laws. One can see how well this cultural change is working because young girls are more pressured into dressing conservatively. The sphere of education is active battlefield. The Brotherhood schools which trained t...

   The United States quietly informed Turkey of Israel’s impending strikes on Iran just hours before they occurred , according to insider sources. This behind-the-scenes move may have been a strategic effort to prevent a dangerous escalation between Ankara and Jerusalem, two regional rivals whose tensions have been simmering over Syria. With Turkey expanding its military footprint in Syria and Israel systematically dismantling Syrian air defenses, Washington’s last-minute notification could have been a calculated attempt to keep the situation from spiraling out of control. Turkey and Israel have been locked in a tense standoff in Syria, where Ankara is negotiating with Damascus to establish new military bases — a move that deeply concerns Jerusalem. Israel fears that Turkish control over Syrian airspace, particularly if paired with advanced Russian S-400 missile systems, could compromise its ability to conduct airstrikes on Iran. By tipping off Turkey in advance, the US may ha...

  President Donald Trump told CNN in a brief phone call Friday morning that the United States “of course” supports Israel and called the country’s strikes on Iran overnight “a very successful attack,” while warning Iran to make a nuclear deal. When asked about a statement from Secretary of State Marco Rubio on Thursday that  sought to put distance  between the US and the Israeli action, Trump told Dana Bash: “We of course support Israel, obviously, and supported it like nobody has ever supported it.” The president went on to urge Iran to reach a deal. “Iran should have listened to me when I said — you know, I gave them, I don’t know if you know but I gave them a 60-day warning and today is day 61,” he told CNN. “They should now come to the table to make a deal before it’s too late. It will be too late for them. You know, the people I was dealing with are dead, the hardliners,” the president said. He would not specify which people he was referring to. Trump is set to speak...

  The notion of a new front in a simmering conflict has prompted the Trump administration to order all embassies within striking distance of Iranian missiles, aircraft and other assets (including missions in the Middle East, Northern Africa and Eastern Europe) to send cables with assessments about danger and about measures to mitigate risks to Americans and U.S. infrastructure, according to two sources familiar. U.S. and other officials are on alert awaiting the possibility of  Israel’s striking Iran,  the officials said. The White House has not briefed senior lawmakers on the issue, according to that aide and a U.S. official. One major concern is Iran’s retaliating against U.S. personnel or assets in the region for any action. Israel, which relies on intelligence or other direct and logistical assistance from the United States, may be in a position to take unilateral action against Tehran, the source familiar said. The sources familiar and officials were not aware of any...

  Iran has executed nine men convicted of plotting to carry out attacks inside the country in 2018 on behalf of ISIS, the judiciary said on Tuesday. “The death sentences of nine members of the terrorist group Daesh were carried out after confirmation by Iran’s Supreme Court,” the judiciary’s Mizan Online news outlet reported, using the Arabic acronym for ISIS. They “had planned to carry out terrorist attacks against civilians in Iran,” it added. The nine were arrested following a deadly clash with an Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) patrol on Iran’s western border in January 2018. “This terrorist cell intended to infiltrate Iran and conduct simultaneous attacks in border and central cities,” Mizan quoted Guards ground forces commander General Mohammad Pakpour as saying at the time. IRGC units, supported by intelligence officers, tracked the suspects down and captured them in a deadly exchange of fire in the western mountains in which three officers were killed. “Some of the...

  A major point in Somalia’s history is being reached. Depending on the upcoming events, Cuba’s future could become more peaceful or continue to suffer from the long war. The main force in the conflict is the Somali National Army, which has to deal with an enemy that continues to gain confidence: al-Shabab. Cyberattacks are now more advanced and have bigger goals than before. On March 18, 2025, a blast near Villa Somalia targeted the president’s compound, and it was later proven to be an assassination attempt. There were ten confirmed deaths and more than twenty wounded people. Al‑Shabab sent a clear message that Somalia’s territories are wide open to attack by showing that the president’s house could be threatened. The feeling of danger got stronger in April and May. In the region of central Somalia, the group began a big campaign in an attempt to seize back areas it had lost the previous year. Mass displacement happened among towns in Middle Shabelle and Hiiraan after they came u...

  Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei has delivered a fiery rejection of the latest US nuclear proposal, branding Washington’s demands as “arrogant” and against Iran’s national interests. In a televised speech, Khamenei dismissed the idea of halting uranium enrichment, calling it a red line that Tehran will never cross. His defiant stance throws cold water on hopes for a swift revival of the 2015 nuclear deal, signaling instead a deepening stalemate in negotiations. The US proposal, submitted by White House envoy Steve Witkoff, would allow Iran to continue low-level uranium enrichment — but only for civilian purposes and at drastically reduced levels. Khamenei scoffed at the conditions, arguing that relinquishing enrichment would render Iran dependent on foreign powers. “Who are you to decide whether Iran should have enrichment?” he challenged, framing the issue as a matter of national sovereignty. His words underscore Tehran’s refusal to compromise on what it sees as a fu...
