A 27-year-old Qatari camel herder has been found guilty on two attempted rape charges with his victim being left "frozen with fear" during the attacks. Nasser Al-Gherainiq was convicted at Southwark Crown Court following an assault that took place at a private medical facility connected to Royal Brompton Hospital in south-west London. The defendant, who had travelled to Britain for specialist heart treatment, attacked a woman by forcing her into a toilet cubicle at the medical centre. Al-Gherainiq joins a long list of foreign offenders in UK prisons, now representing nearly one-in-eight (12 per cent) prisoners in our overcrowded jails....

Laura Loomer fiercely responded to Tucker Carlson after he labeled her the "world's creepiest human," sharing an old text message he sent her while poking fun at his bizarre claims of being "physically mauled" in bed by a demon. During the latest episode of his "After Party" podcast, Carlson directed barbs at both Loomer and his former Fox colleague Mark Levin. He criticized Levin for donning the "Trump skinsuit," suggesting it served his political agenda. Unlike Levin and Loomer, both of whom openly backed President Donald Trump's controversial bombing of Iran, Carlson took a firm stand against such military interventions....

Presidential envoy Steve Witkoff deserves a great deal of credit for what followed in the aftermath of President Trump’s final elimination of the Iranian nuclear threat. Throughout the 12-day war, Witkoff maintained a diplomatic connection to the Iranian delegation in order to position a ceasefire upon conclusion. The Trump administration is now taking a more firm stance toward who in Iran they will accept negotiations with. As noted by Secretary Rubio, the use of intermediaries has exhausted its usefulness. While Qatar may play a role as an interlocutor to bridge the two sides, the time has come for direct face-to-face...

Tehran has long cultivated the image of a nation unwilling to bend to foreign pressure. From Ayatollah Khomeini’s rejection of the West in 1979 to today’s battles over nuclear sovereignty, the Islamic Republic has projected an unyielding front. Even now, it promptly violated a ceasefire with Israel. Yet, behind this posture, events of the past 72 hours tell a starkly different story. On June 23rd, Iran fired a volley of missiles toward Al-Udeid Air Base in Qatar—America’s largest military installation in the Middle East. Nearly every missile was shot down. The U.S. had been warned of the attack in advance....

The Daily Wire’s Ben Shapiro ruthlessly mocked Tucker Carlson on Tuesday over his professed concern that a strike on Iran’s nuclear facilities could lead to World War III. “President [Donald] Trump was never, ever going to get us into a nation-building project in Iran. That was never-, have you met President Trump? Have you watched him for the last 10 years?” asked Shapiro rhetorically to kick off his rant. “What unbelievable lack of faith it shows in President Trump for people to suggest that Trump, of all people, was going to get us in to World War III on a...

For 30 years, Democrats and some Republicans lied about stopping Iran. Trump did it.. “Iran’s appetite for acquiring and developing nuclear weapons and the missiles to deliver them has only grown larger,” Bill Clinton claimed in 1995. “We have tried to stop its quest to acquire weapons of mass destruction, which would make it a threat not only to its neighbors but to the entire region and the world.” “For the sake of peace, the world must not allow Iran to have a nuclear weapon,” George W. Bush declared. “America is determined to prevent Iran from getting a nuclear weapon,...

Following U.S. strikes on Iranian nuclear facilities on Saturday, the Iranian Parliament has voted in support of closing the Strait of Hormuz, one of the world's most critical oil transit chokepoints, according to media reports. Any final decision on retaliation, however, will rest with the country's Supreme National Security Council and leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei. The parliament vote merely advises him of the option to pursue. Newsweek has reached out to the White House by email on Sunday morning for comment. Why It Matters The U.S. strikes on three Iranian nuclear sites—dubbed "Operation Midnight Hammer"—in Isfahan, Fordow and Natanz marks...

Iranian parliament has approved the closure of the Strait of Hormuz in a move which could see the world thrown into disaster. The decision to close the Strait, through which around 20 per cent of global oil and gas demand flows, is not yet final. Iran's Supreme National Security Council must still make the final call on the matter, Iran's Press TV said today. But lawmaker and Revolutionary Guards Commander Esmail Kosari told the Young Journalist Club that doing so is on the agenda and 'will be done whenever necessary'. Last weekend, Kowsari told local media that closing the Strait...

The Biden administration and the Saudis are reportedly cooking up a deal.Under the terms of the agreement, the Saudis will get nuclear capability, defense guarantees and a terrorist state inside Israel. And what will the United States get? Temporarily lower prices.The Saudis are not offering to boost oil production to bring down prices as a favor to America, but to Biden. And it’s an election quid-pro-quo that may cost millions of Americans their lives.After draining the strategic petroleum reserve ahead of the midterms, Biden has been unable to refill it because his environmentalist allies and the Saudis have kept prices...

Laura Loomer @LauraLoomer In 2012, @TuckerCarlson said, “I do think, I'm sure I'm the lone voice in saying this, that Iran deserves to be annihilated. I think they're lunatics. I think they're evil.” When you go to Qatar, it poisons your brain. 9:48 PM · Jun 18, 2025
