Trump Wants Syria to ‘Fight Hezbollah’ in Lebanon

That’s not working. That’s not the way to do it.
 
Both Israel and Lebanon are appalled. Trump sees Syrian leader Ahmed al-Sharaa as a “strong leader,” someone who can take on Hezbollah and deal better with it than Israel. That is not how either Beirut or Jerusalem sees things.

Trump Draws Red Line on Iran: U.S. Strikes Hammer Regime After Hormuz Attacks, Ceasefire Collapses

President Trump is delivering on his promise of peace through strength, ordering decisive U.S. military strikes on Iranian targets after the regime violated a fragile ceasefire by attacking commercial shipping in the Strait of Hormuz.

The latest escalation has shattered the June memorandum of understanding aimed at winding down the Iran conflict, but Trump administration officials signal that America will not tolerate threats to global energy security or U.S. interests.

Iran retaliated with attacks against Israel, Gulf states, and U.S. positions, drawing in regional proxies and expanding the conflict.

A ceasefire and MoU brought temporary calm, focusing on reopening the vital Strait of Hormuz, one of the world’s most important energy shipping routes.

Yet Iran quickly tested limits by harassing tankers, imposing illegal routing demands, and attacking commercial vessels.

U.S. Central Command responded with strikes against more than 80 targets, including air defenses, command centers, coastal radars, anti-ship missiles, and IRGC fast boats.

Iran responded with drones and missiles toward Gulf targets and Jordan, with some intercepted. Continue reading US president says 1,000 missiles are “locked and loaded and aimed at the Islamic Republic of Iran”

Israel Shares New Intel of New Iranian Assassination Plot Against President Trump After Regime Vows Revenge

Israel has reportedly provided the United States with new intelligence indicating that the Iranian regime has developed a new plot to assassinate President Donald Trump.

According to reports published Thursday by the Wall Street Journal, Israeli intelligence recently alerted U.S. officials to a specific assassination plot targeting President Trump.

Sources familiar with the intelligence said the warning was delivered this week and involved information that U.S. agencies had not previously identified independently. Details of the alleged plot have not been publicly disclosed.

Wall Street Journal reported:

Israel shared new intelligence with the U.S. that it said indicated a fresh Iranian plan to kill President Trump, people familiar with the matter said, a finding that would mark an escalation in the war between Washington and Iran.

Iran for years has vowed openly to retaliate against Trump for the assassination of Qassem Soleimani, who was a top general in the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, in the president’s first term.

The Israeli embassy in Washington declined to comment. Iran’s Mission to the United Nations didn’t immediately respond to a request for comment. The White House referred The Wall Street Journal to comments the president made on Wednesday.

Israel’s military says it killed a Hamas commander who took part in the October 7, 2023, attacks.

It identified the Palestinian as Yahya Saeed Muhammad Hamdan, head of the Qassam Brigades Nukhba Forces unit that attacked Reim, a kibbutz in southern Israel. He was killed in southern Gaza on Thursday, the army said.

China Demands Iran ‘Follow Through’ on U.S. Peace Deal, Signaling Frustration with Horm

The US military refutes claims by Iranian state media regarding shipping routes in the Strait of Hormuz, affirming that Iran does not control the strategic waterway.

In a post on X, CENTCOM said that “Iranian state media claims that transit through the Strait of Hormuz is only permitted through routes designated by Iran” is a “CLAIM” and that the “TRUTH” is “Iran does not control the Strait of Hormuz”.

The command further stated that “since early May, US forces have helped facilitate the successful transit of more than 800 commercial vessels and 380 million barrels of crude oil through the vital international trade corridor”.

China Turning on Tehran over Hormuz?

The Chinese Foreign Ministry lamented the resurgence of violence between Iran and the United States on Wednesday, urging both countries to “follow through on their memorandum of understanding” and “avoid resorting to force.”

Demands Iran ‘Follow Through’ on U.S. Peace Deal

China regularly condemns America for alleged belligerence on the geopolitical stage; the Foreign Ministry choosing to demand equal respect for their current peace agreement from Washington and Tehran is notable, however. Beijing referred to the hostilities as a matter that its close ally and prominent oil supplier Iran was equally responsible for rather than blaming the United States exclusively.

Speaking to reporters during her regular briefing, Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Mao Ning stated that China was “closely following” recent hostilities related to Iran and discouraged military escalation.

“Reigniting the conflict does not serve any party’s interests. Military means cannot solve the fundamental issue,” Mao asserted. “We call on the U.S. and Iran to follow through on their memorandum of understanding, resolve disputes through dialogue and negotiation, and avoid resorting to force.”

Mao’s statement did not blame the United States for the violence or exonerate Iran for its participation.

Somali Gangsters Call Law Enforcement ‘Dangerous’

Here’s a video

More proof that Muslims should never be allowed into any country that wants to remain civilised.

Fact is, if the U.S. hadn’t imported these third world savages, there would be 12 fewer gangs in Minneapolis, not to mention the billions in fraud that would have been saved. Nothing Somalis contribute to the US that is a net positive for the country…

CAIR-MN Calls Sheriff’s Somali Gang Warning ‘Dangerous’ as Law Enforcement Tracks 12 Somali Gangs in Twin Cities Metro

A Ramsey County sheriff’s warning about Somali gangs in the Twin Cities drew criticism from CAIR-MN and Minneapolis City Council Vice President Jamal Osman, even as one law enforcement officer said he is tracking 12 Somali gangs in the metro area and another called for “law enforcement, community members, and faith leaders” to work together on a solution.

Ramsey County Sheriff Bob Fletcher is facing pushback after using his social media show, Live on Patrol, to address what KSTP-TV described as a serious Somali gang problem in the Minneapolis-St. Paul area.

KSTP-TV reported that Fletcher’s video received tens of thousands of views and prompted backlash from Somali community leaders. Reporter Ben Henry said the station had questions for Fletcher and was told the sheriff was available for an interview, but when the crew arrived at the sheriff’s office that morning, they were told he was not available.

In the video, Fletcher said, “Before you start fixing the problem, first you have to identify what it is. We got a huge list of criminal activity, but having said that, we’re not indicting the whole community.”

KSTP described Fletcher’s remarks as addressing Somali gang violence and reported that law enforcement officials were investigation weekend shootings in Minneapolis involving gang members. One shooting killed a man, while another wounded multiple people and reportedly involved automatic gunfire.

Ramsey County Sheriff’s Office Somali gang investigator Jama Shine said, “This needs to stop.”

Another officer said, “Right now, I’m tracking 12 different Somali gangs in the metro.” Continue reading Somali Gangsters Call Law Enforcement ‘Dangerous’

US Military Releases Footage of Powerful Strikes Against Iran (VIDEO)

US President Donald Trump has once again turned his focus to Kharg Island, Iran’s main oil export hub, after declaring an interim ceasefire with Iran “over” and warning the US was preparing more strikes.

Trump told the Financial Times that his “preference would be to take the oil” in Iran and that US forces could seize Iran’s export hub at Kharg Island.

Kharg is a 22-square-kilometre (8.5-square-mile) coral outcrop in Iran’s Bushehr province. Closely guarded by the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), entry to the island is restricted to those with official security clearance.

Kharg processes 90 percent of Iran’s total oil exports, handling approximately 1.5 million barrels every day.

On March 14, Trump announced that the US Air Force had bombed Iranian military facilities on the island.

“For reasons of decency, I have chosen NOT to wipe out the Oil Infrastructure on the Island. However, should Iran, or anyone else, do anything to interfere with the Free and Safe Passage of Ships through the Strait of Hormuz, I will immediately reconsider this decision,” Trump wrote on Truth Social.
