The advisory, which covers 14 countries including Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Iraq and Syria, was posted on X by Assistant Secretary of State Mora Namdar. This is not the first time Cyprus has played this role. The island was...

A US appeals court on Monday denied the Trump administration’s bid to delay lawsuits seeking tariff refunds — a ruling that could pave the way for companies to get back the cash they previously paid for the levies. The Department of Justice filed a motion Friday requesting to delay cases seeking up to $170 million in refunds by up to four months after the Supreme Court struck down President Trump’s tariffs on Feb. 20. But this week, a US appeals court ordered the case to be heard by the US Court of International Trade, or CIT, where the case was...

The Iranian women’s national soccer team made quite the statement on Monday night during the opening match of the Women’s Asian Cup, as they refused to sing while their national anthem played over the speakers at Cbus Super Stadium on the Gold Coast. The players were in their customary line before their match against South Korea, when the Iranian national anthem began to play. The women, looking straight ahead and barely moving, were stoic as it appeared there were jeers from the crowd. Later, applause erupted from those in attendance following the 3-0 South Korea victory. Iran’s manager, Marziyeh Jafari,...

Love him or hate him, it should be inarguable that President Donald Trump is a quote machine. With the dust still settling from joint U.S.-Israeli Operation Epic Fury (which saw the successful neutralization of Ayatollah Ali Khamenei and his leadership cabal), Trump has provided yet another all-time quote — and it’s one his more murderous enemies should heed well.

Spain says the United States is not using – and will not be using – joint military bases on its territory for operations against Iran, a mission condemned by Madrid. “Based on all the information I have, the bases are not being used for this military operation,” Foreign Minister Jose Manuel Albares told Spanish public television on Monday. Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez has condemned US and Israeli strikes on Iran that began on Saturday as an “unjustified” and “dangerous military intervention” outside the realm of international law, in another break from US policy. “The Spanish government will not authorise the...

“In the first year of Darius the son of Ahasuerus . . . I gave my attention to the Lord God to seek Him by prayer” (Dan. 9:1-3). Uncompromising prayer brings glory to God. Daniel’s prayer in Daniel 9:1-19 illustrates the key elements of effective intercessory prayer. Those elements will serve as the focus of our studies for several days, but first some background to Daniel’s prayer will be helpful. Verse 1 says that Daniel prayed in the first year of the reign of King Darius, the first great king of the Medo-Persian Empire. About sixty-five years earlier, God had...

Netanyahu said, "So this is a regime committed to destroying the United States of America. It's the only country on the planet that says so openly and works tirelessly to achieve that goal." "The reason we had to act now is because they were, after we hit their nuclear sites and their ballistic missiles program, you'd think they would learn a lesson but they didn't. Because they're unreformable, totally fanatic about this, about the goal of destroying America." "So they started building new sites, new places, underground bunkers, that would make their ballistic missile program and their atomic bomb program...

According to Iranian reports, former Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad was killed together with his bodyguard during an Israeli airstrike on the country, while under house arrest. Serving as Iran's sixth president between 2005 and 2013, Ahmadinejad is remembered as one of the Islamic Republic's most extreme and antisemitic voices. He was open about his aspiration to destroy Israel. In 2009, his controversial reelection set off the largest protests in post-revolution Iran's history until that point. The regime under his lead responded with a bloodbath, killing dozens and sending hundreds to prison.

Rochester, N.Y. (WHAM) — Marine Mike Zawacki of Webster said when Iranian-backed Hezbollah militants attacked the U.S. Embassy in Beirut, Lebanon on April 18, 1983, it was the start of a different kind of warfare. “And then Sunday, Oct. 23, 1983, Hezbollah drove a truck bomb into the Marine barracks at 6:22 a.m.” Zawacki said the bomb was some 12,000 pounds. On detonation, it took the four-story barracks and blew it "a story and half" in the air. “And then it came down and pancaked with our Marines, sailors and soldiers in it — killing 220 Marines, 18 sailors and...

What we found: More Americans are feeling “comfortable” with their economic situation since this time last year. Now half (51%) describe themselves as comfortable vs. just 37% last February. That’s due to increases in both very comfortable and somewhat comfortable responses. So what’s driving that? Some data-based hunches: Comfort had dropped between 2024 (44%) and 2025 (37%), but the moment we asked this in 2025 was kind of peak tariff uncertainty, which was probably leading to some discomfort Interest rates are slowly falling (mortgages dipped below 6% for the first time since 2022) and markets are up. (Yes, we know...

WICHITA, Kan. (KWCH) - A Kansas law now in effect requires residents to use bathrooms corresponding with their sex assigned at birth and invalidates driver’s licenses and birth certificates that were altered to reflect a gender identity different from that assigned at birth. There is no grace period in the bill. Trans residents are required to obtain new driver’s licenses immediately. Amended birth certificates must be requested through the Kansas Department of Health and Environment. Kansas is the first state to include driver’s licenses and birth certificates under this type of law. Other states, including Texas, have passed similar bathroom...

Mossad operatives hacked into Tehran's traffic camera network to spy on Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, his bodyguards and other top Iranian officials for years Israel gained access to almost all the city's cameras, and tracked the movements of key bodyguards. Images were said to be transmitted back to Tel Aviv and southern Israel, allowing Mossad to develop intimate knowledge on the guards' addresses, work schedules, and who they were assigned to protect. One camera angle proved especially helpful and allowed agents to track where bodyguards parked their personal cars when arriving at the Supreme Leader's compound on Pasteur Street in the...
