Reports emerging from the region suggest that Iran’s leadership may be divided over a proposed deal with the United States, raising new doubts about whether an agreement can be finalized. According to the reports, Iranian negotiators had signaled that the deal was ready to move forward. However, Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei has reportedly refused to approve the proposal. The reported rejection comes after claims that senior Iranian officials, including Parliament Speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf and Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi, had presented the agreement as essentially ready without securing final approval from Khamenei. If accurate, the development could point to a...

Iran insisted on Friday on its right to enrich uranium and maintain control over the Strait of Hormuz under any deal with the United States, after President Donald Trump said a draft accord was ready. US ally Israel has said that Trump had promised it that any agreement would see Iran stripped of its enriched nuclear material, but Tehran's official IRNA news agency said this was not even on the table.

UnitedHealthcare is no stranger to controversies. Ever since the assassination of Brian Thompson, their former CEO, social media users shared their unpleasant experiences with the healthcare insurance company online. But more than a year after the incident, it seems that the company has not changed, as comedian Blake Wexler (@blakewexler) shared on TikTok. “So, my wife and I just got a letter from UnitedHealthcare telling us that they’re denying coverage for our twin’s stay in the NICU,” Wexler, who’s from New York City, said on TikTok. The babies are premature and need to be placed in the neonatal intensive care...

US President Donald Trump on Friday claimed that details of the deal leaked by Iran are "fake news." In a post on his Truth Social platform, Trump wrote, "The terms that Iran leaked out to the Fake News have NOTHING to do with the terms that were agreed to, in writing." "What they said, including their weak and pathetic statement on having a deal, bears no relation to the truth. Very dishonorable people to deal with. With them, there is no such thing as dealing in good faith. AMAZING!" "Also, their totally rebuffed Drone attack last night against Indian Ships...

Keir Starmer has said he knows he has to “turn things around” after a series of crises culminating in the resignation of John Healey, the defence secretary, but warned that any successor would face the same difficult decisions. In an interview with the BBC after Healey’s departure in a row over defence spending, Starmer promised again to fight any leadership challenge from Andy Burnham or others, saying: “I’m not going to go away.” He also suggested said that if Burnham did replace him in No 10, there would be a near-identical set of pressures and tough decisions for him given...

Unable, at least for now, to slake its bloodthirst by killing Israelis, Hamas is solidifying its brutal control over the hostages it still holds — the people of Gaza. The fundamentalist monsters are reestablishing their reign of terror across the Gaza Strip, setting up a police state with prisons and detention centers in the same schools and hospitals they used to store munitions, manage communications and fire missiles. It was all to be expected: In the first week of the ceasefire with Israel, Hamas dragged local enemies into the streets, labeled them “collaborators,” and shot or hanged them publicly to...

WASHINGTON — Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin said Thursday that the Trump administration has found at least 146,000 migrant children that were unaccounted for during the Biden administration. A total of 450,000 went missing under former President Joe Biden — and “nearly 300,000” are still unaccounted for, Mullin said at a news conference. “We’re investigating reports to where some of these kids claim that they were raped 6[00] to 700 times,” he added. “I don’t care who you are. I don’t care if you have kids. You don’t have kids. I don’t care if you’re a liberal, you’re independent, you’re...

This is just first salvo by liberals against Elon Musk and his business interests has SpaceX goes public today and likely makes him the world's first Trillionaire. If a Democrat wins the Presidency in 2028 look for them to go after Musk and attempt to hurt his businesses, with Elizabeth Warren at the front of the line. Fortunately, she failed in her attempt to get the IPO delayed, happily I was notified a couple of hours before the NASDAQ opened that Fidelity had partially filled my request to participate in the IPO at $135/share.

OMAHA — Dan Osborn, an Independent candidate for U.S. Senate in Nebraska, at a town hall in Omaha last week, told attendees that he believed there should be mandatory five-year mental health checks for owners of AR-15s and similar “assault-style” rifles. One guest asked Osborn if he could offer anything “other than ‘thoughts and prayers’—which makes us all want to throw up” regarding gun violence. Osborn responded with notable candor.

The independent challenging Republican Nebraska Sen. Pete Ricketts called for owners of modern semiautomatic firearms to undergo a mental health evaluation every five years as a prerequisite to renew registration of the guns. Dan Osborn, who lost to Republican Nebraska Sen. Deb Fischer in the 2024 election, announced his plans to challenge Ricketts in July 2025. Osborn, who has received support from Democrats in his big to topple Ricketts according to Roll Call, suggested the measure during a town hall in June. “I said, ‘Do you own an assault-style rifle, an AR-15, an M16, an AK-47, or anything like that?’...

Outgoing Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard rescinded two controversial Biden-era assessments Thursday that concluded the condition known as Havana Syndrome was unlikely to be the result of foreign adversaries attacking US personnel. The retracted Intelligence Community Assessments selectively excluded evidence and intelligence, mischaracterized sources “to suppress alternative analyses,” omitted key information related to source quality and relied on an “ethically flawed medical study,” Gabbard’s office said in a memo to congressional leaders. The two assessments – declassified versions of which were released in March 2023 and January 2025 – both concluded that a foreign adversary was “very unlikely” to...

New documents released Thursday by Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) reveal that Dr. Anthony Fauci used deep connections to the intelligence community to influence key national security agencies in the debate over the origins of COVID-19. Paul, chairman of the Senate homeland security committee, published nearly 90 pages of emails and other documents on Thursday detailing how Fauci steered the National Security Council and other bodies in the intelligence apparatus to downplay the theory that the virus came from a biomedical research lab incident in China. The multidecade document dump demonstrates the degree to which the national security community depended upon...

It is impossible to avert one’s eyes from the United Kingdom’s cultural disintegration. It produces horrors that stand as a warning to all Western nations to guard their societies against their current influx of hostile foreigners. Britain’s moral collapse has, notoriously, produced industrial-scale rape of English girls by Muslim men, mostly Pakistani. More recently, last December, it led to the videoed murder of a teenager, Henry Nowak, by a Sikh wielding the dagger of his religion. Governments and police are complicit in many such crimes afflicting the British because they’ve fostered mass immigration from incompatible cultures and stoked predation on...

One sailor is dead and a second sailor is in pre-trial confinement after an early morning Saturday shooting aboard carrier John F. Kennedy (CVN-79), USNI News has learned. Boatswain’s Mate Seaman Jesse Braswell of Colorado was killed in the shooting, which happened around 5:15 a.m. on Saturday, a Navy spokesperson told USNI News.

"Prime Minister Netanyahu, look, he governs a country that has obviously been a very close partner of the United States. But, even when we've been close partners, sometimes we have interests that are perfectly aligned and sometimes we have interests that are misaligned," Vance told Robert Costa in an interview airing this week on "CBS Sunday Morning." Asked whether Netanyahu has made any mistakes in how he's approached his relationship with the U.S. on Iran, Vance said, "he's certainly gotten some things wrong." Vance declined to give examples, saying those conversations "are better left in private." "But what I would...

A senior official in Hamas' internal security apparatus announced that the terror organization will "soon" carry out public executions of Gazans whom it claims acted as Israeli agents and were involved in the killings of Al-Qassam Brigades terrorists. The announcement, released via Palestinian Arab channels, stated that the decision to carry out executions was made in response to calls voiced within the Gazan public. Hamas did not provide a specific date for the executions. The terror group also claimed that its members captured an individual allegedly involved in the killing of Ezz al-Din al-Haddad, a commander of the Al-Qassam Brigades....

The U.S. and Iran could reportedly sign a peace deal as soon as Sunday, after Iranian state media said the draft deal included a commitment from the U.S. to lift oil sanctions and a pledge from Iran to reopen the Strait of Hormuz within 30 days. The 14-point document dictates that final negotiations will not begin until the release of half of Iran’s frozen funds, the suspension of Iran’s oil sanctions and the lifting of the naval blockade, the Mehr News Agency reported. All American forces would need to withdraw from Iran, and the U.S. and its allies would need...
