The United States intensified its military involvement in Yemen by launching over the weekend a series of airstrikes targeting the Iran-aligned Houthis. While the escalation is intended to curtail the Houthis’ ability to disrupt critical international shipping routes in the Red Sea, it has resulted in substantial civilian casualties and raised regional tensions, prompting varied reactions from both global and local analysts. According to the Houthi-run Health Ministry, at least 53 people — including women and children — have so far been killed, and nearly 100 others injured in the U.S. strikes. U.S. officials report that the attacks hit multiple...

US strikes killed multiple Houthi leaders in Yemen, the White House said Sunday, adding Iran was “put on notice” to stop backing the militant group and its attacks on Red Sea shipping.

He also reiterated a US warning that “all options are on the table” to prevent Iran from attaining a nuclear weapon. The US...

Republican presidential candidate Ron Paul is demonstrating an appalling ignorance on the Iranian nuclear issue and the threat it poses to world security. In fact, several times during the recent GOP debates he blamed the animosity against the U.S. in the Middle East on America's foreign policy. Paul recently argued on "Fox News Sunday" that sanctions should be removed altogether to get Iran to act differently and that the U.S. response to Iran's nuclear pursuit was an "overreaction." He added that Iran does not pose a threat to either the U.S. or the region. The congressman from Texas insists that...

It took nearly a year for a Lebanese illegal migrant who arrived under the Biden administration and admitted that he’s a Hezbollah terrorist hoping “to make a bomb” to get his deportation papers, Immigration and Customs Enforcement told The Post Monday. Now, the Trump administration is working to finally boot him from the country. New York-bound migrant Basel Bassel Ebbadi, 22, admitted his ties to the terrorist group, and ambitions when he was captured by border agents in El Paso, Texas, on March 9, 2024 — and was immediately held in federal custody. During a medical screening in a processing...

The "ban on the passage of all Israeli ships" will continue "until the crossings to the Gaza Strip are reopened and aid, food, and medicine are allowed in," said the Houthis’ military spokesperson, Yahya Saree. Earlier on Tuesday evening, Al-Arabiya reported that the United States attacked Houthi radar facilities and weapons storage sites in the port of Al-Hudaydah in...

TEHRAN, IRAN — The navies of Iran, Russia and China will hold military drills off the coast of Iran this week in a bid to boost cooperation, Iranian media reported Sunday. The three countries, which share a common desire to counter what they characterize as American hegemony, have held similar exercises in the region in recent years. The drills "will begin on Tuesday in the port of Chabahar," located in southeast Iran on the Gulf of Oman, the Tasnim news agency said, without specifying their duration. "Warships and combat and support vessels of the Chinese and Russian naval forces, as...

Fox News is wall to wall with dead-eyed politicians telling you that Iran is a dangerous “sponsor of terror.” Softening up the base for a war. But what exactly does that phrase mean, and how does it apply to the United States? Here’s one measure: over the past twenty years, how many Americans have been killed by Iran on American soil? Try to find that number, and then compare it to the number of Americans killed by drug ODs. Or suicide. Or illegal aliens. Or carjackings, diabetes and the Covid vax. Still think Iran is the greatest threat? How about...

Former President Joe Biden rescinded the designation in 2021.. Secretary of State Marco Rubio announced on Tuesday that the State Department re-designated Ansarallah, commonly referred to as the Houthis, as a Foreign Terrorist Organization (FTO). “Today’s action taken by the State Department demonstrates the Trump Administration’s commitment to protecting our national security interests, the safety of the American people, and the security of the United States,” Rubio said in a statement. The Iranian-backed terror group has fired several ballistic missiles at civilian populations in Israel, launched more than one hundred attacks on international cargo ships and other vessels in the...

Benny Johnson @bennyjohnson 🚨BREAKING: Rep. Andy Ogles has officially introduced articles of IMPEACHMENT against Deep State District Judge Amir Ali. 11:34 AM · Feb 27, 2025

Conflict of interest.. Out of the three federal judges who staged a judicial coup and demanded that the Trump administration do whatever they say, two, Judge Loren AliKhan, a Pakistani Muslim, and Judge Amir Hatem Mahdy Ali, an Egyptian Muslim, are Muslims. All three are highly unqualified and extremist Biden nominees who do not belong on the bench. Judge Amir Ali’s order that Trump must disburse foreign aid is particularly egregious since Ali’s ancestral Egypt remains a major beneficiary of that aid. USAID has funneled $30 billion to Egypt since 1978. Today US aid to Egypt last year was $1.5...

Over the weekend, Hezbollah held a long-delayed public memorial service to its former chief terrorist, Hassan Nasrallah. The terror network filled a stadium in Beirut nearly five months after the Israeli Defense Forces killed him in an airstrike, that coming after decapitating much of the rest of Hezbollah in Operation Grim Beeper. The IDF also made a surprise appearance at the event, startling Nasrallah's sycophants:It appears that the terrorists burying Nasrallah were so surprised by the @IDF flyover & dropped the scumbags coffin.One can only assume that the @khamenei_ir representatives were also scurrying like mice for cover.😜😜 pic.twitter.com/de1PciBpAV— Maurice Hirsch,...

Iran also transferred large amounts of money to terror cells...
