“U.S. forces conducted self-defense strikes in southern Iran today to protect our troops from threats posed by Iranian forces”

Update:

US strikes Iranian site; Kuwait targeted by missiles, drones

  • The United States has carried out new strikes on an Iranian military site allegedly posing a threat to US forces and maritime traffic in the Strait of Hormuz, according to news reports.
  • Iranian media have reported that US forces struck near the Bandar Abbas port, causing no damage or casualties.

Iran Claims U.S. Talks Don’t Include Enriched Uranium Stockpile

Iranian state TV has published what it claims is a new draft proposal for peace with the U.S. — and it reportedly still clashes with several major American red lines. The proposal allegedly includes demands tied to Iran’s nuclear program and future enforcement measures, while also calling for $20 billion in frozen funds to be released as part of the deal.

Iran Claims It Downed U.S. Drone, Threatens ‘Devastating’ Response Next Time U.S. Violates Ceasefire

Iran’s terrorist Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) threatened a “very devastating” response to any future military activity by the United States on Tuesday following confirmation from the Pentagon that it had conducted “self-defense” airstrikes on Iranian targets.

U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM), the arm of the Pentagon responsible for Middle East activities, confirmed on Monday evening that it had conducted operations against Iranian targets accused of maintaining missile launch sites and maritime assets allegedly used to “emplace mines” in the Strait of Hormuz. Since Washington launched Operation Epic Fury to erode the Iranian regime’s ability to pose a threat to its neighbors in February, the IRGC has blocked regular commercial traffic in the Strait of Hormuz, one of the most important economic transit points in the world and a major source of oil and liquified natural gas (LNG) heading from Gulf states to Asia.

Islam is not an ‘Abrahamic’ religion

…and Islam is not a ‘religion of peace’ either.

The ‘Muslim Catholic’ Who Invented the Christian-Muslim Relationship

The origins of the dangerous myth of “Abrahamic Religions.”

Louis Massignon by Taqtigre

When Pope Leo hails Islam and when western politicians praise Islam as an “Abrahamic religion,” they are not reaching back to an ancient Christian tradition but the relatively new twentieth century invention of a man whom Pope Pius IX had described as a “Muslim Catholic”.

Traditional Christianity saw Islam as a pun for the sins of nations and Islamic rulers like Sultan Mehmed II as a “second Mohammed,” a “son of Satan” and a harbinger of the Antichrist.

One unlikely Christian ‘Islamist’ in the twentieth century helped change all that.

Louis Massignon was a French academic, intellectual, artist, officer, priest, gay man and likely spy, whose obsessive orientalism led him to spend a good deal of his time, occasionally at risk of his life, in the Muslim world, to advocate for its causes and to find spiritual meaning in Islam.

Iran: Trump might be compelled to “finish the job”

Iran says return to war unlikely, but Trump ‘not satisfied’ with deal

Iran said on Wednesday that a return to war with the United States was unlikely as the two sides inched towards a deal, though President Donald Trump said he was not happy with Tehran’s latest offer.

U.S. Military Launches Precision “Self-Defense Strikes” in Southern Iran – Neutralizing IRGC Threats to American Troops After Radical Regime’s Latest Provocations

The US leader warned he might be compelled to “finish the job” if a better arrangement was not reached, even as optimism for a peace deal that would reopen the crucial Strait of Hormuz trade route sent oil prices tumbling.

With fighting paused since an April 8 ceasefire, negotiations to bring an end to the conflict and resume trade through the blockaded waterway have stalled, leaving the global economy shaken by the tumult.

But senior Iranian Revolutionary Guards official Mohammad Akbarzadeh said the likelihood of a return to “war is low because of the enemy’s weakness”, but warned the military was “lying in wait with full magazines” in the event of an attack, Tasnim news agency reported.

Trump, meanwhile, said in a cabinet meeting at the White House that he was in no rush to reach an accord, despite saying at the weekend that one was close.

“Iran is very much intent, they want very much to make a deal. So far they haven’t gotten there. We’re not satisfied with it, but we will be,” he said.

“Either that or we’ll have to just finish the job.”

PILLAR OF JIHAD: Islamist Leaders View Immigration as Key Component to Subvert USA

TOPSHOT - Demonstrators take part in a protest against growing Islamophobia, white suprema

In his new book “The Invisible Coup: How American Elites and Foreign Powers Use Immigration as a Weapon,” Peter Schweizer reveals how jihadist leaders treated mass migration as a means to penetrate, subvert, and ultimately remake the United States from within.

The ideology is the same wherever Mohammedans have been allowed to settle behind enemy lines:

UK Grooming Gang Coverup: Paki Muslims Are Significantly Overrepresented

Did this ever happen?

Grooming Gang Review Author Warns People in ‘Denial’ over Role of Race and Religion in Mass Child Sex Abuse

The author of a major report on child rape grooming gangs in England has warned that many are still in denial about the role that ethnicity and religion play in the ongoing mass sexual exploitation of mostly young white working-class girls by predominantly Pakistani Muslim men.

While stating the fact that Paki Muslims are significantly overrepresented in the group sexual exploitation of young girls in Britain was once cast as akin to a conspiracy theory, a review last year from Baroness Louise Case forced the left-wing Labour Party government to not only launch a national review but also to finally admit that there was “clear evidence of over-representation among suspects of Asian and Pakistani-heritage men” among grooming gang child rapists.

Tocqueville & the Koran

Alexis de Tocqueville, one of the greatest observers of democracy in his classic book “Democracy in America”, delivered a devastating verdict on Islam nearly two centuries ago that still rings true today.
In the passage highlighted Tocqueville writes:
“Muhammad brought down from heaven and put into the Koran not religious doctrines only, but political maxims, criminal and civil laws, and scientific theories. The Gospels, on the other hand, deal only with the general relations between man and God and between man and man.
Beyond that, they teach nothing and do not oblige people to believe anything. That alone, among a thousand reasons, is enough to show that Islam will not be able to hold its power long in ages of enlightenment and democracy, while Christianity is destined to reign in such ages, as in all others.”
This is not a minor observation.
It exposes Islam’s fatal flaw: it is not just a faith but a complete totalitarian system.
The Quran and Hadith fuse religion with government, law (Sharia), warfare, family life, economics, and even claims about science. To question any part is to defy God.
Apostasy becomes treason. Blasphemy becomes sedition. There is no separation between mosque and state, faith and force. Continue reading Tocqueville & the Koran

Israel Picks Them Off, One by One

Israel must end the dangerous illusion of deterrence on the northern border – editorial

While Israelis were told that deterrence had been restored after airstrikes on Hezbollah and that Hezbollah understood the price of escalation, the reality in the North tells a different story.

Israeli soldiers take position as civilians take cover during a Hezbollah attack near the Israeli border with Lebanon in northern Israel, May 19, 2026.

Since the ceasefire between the US, Israel, and Iran was announced on April 8, 11 Israeli soldiers have been killed in Lebanon. Eleven. That number alone should be enough to force a national reckoning about what exactly Israel believes is happening on its northern border.

Netanyahu vows to ‘wipe out’ Hezbollah as Israeli strikes intensify in southern Lebanon

Netanyahu has said that Israel will ramp up attacks against Hezbollah, despite the recent “ceasefire” extension agreed to between Lebanese and Israeli officials.

“We will wipe them out completely,” he said in a statement.

Al Jazeera’s correspondent in southern Lebanon, Obaida Hitto, said that, at this point, the ceasefire is just “ink on paper”.

Proposed deal will include Iran committing to never having nukes and surrendering its uranium

 
How will this be enforced? How will the world know that Iran’s Islamic regime has surrendered allof its just-below-weapons-grade uranium? This is a Shi’ite regime, and a central doctrine of Shi’ism is taqiyya; in light of that, how can this regime be trusted to honor any agreement it signs? Fear of “Islamophobia” prevent such questions from ever being asked, but that doesn’t make them any less pertinent. As long as the Islamic Republic remains in power, it will continue its jihad, as soon as it is able to do so. If it gets $25,000,000,000 from the United States, that will be sooner rather than later.

Iran’s foreign minister tells Hizballah top dog that the Islamic Republic will keep on aiding its proxies

 
Any negotiated settlement between the Islamic Republic of Iran and the U.S. will be worth nothing. All it will do will be to buy time for Iran’s Islamic regime, allowing it to regroup and resume its jihad against the U.S. and Israel later.

Nobody Knows Where Iran’s Disfigured Supreme Leader Khamenei Is Hiding

  • United States forces said they have attacked missile launch sites and mine-laying vessels in southern Iran
  • US forces targeted missile launch sites and Iranian vessels “attempting to emplace” sea mines.
  • Top negotiators from Tehran have travelled to Qatar to discuss points of contention in a potential deal to end the US-Israel war on Iran.

  • The US has described the attacks in Bandar Abbas as “self-defence” strikes to protect troops from threats posed by Iranian forces.

    The US attacked missile launch sites and Iranian boats.

    The US said they were defending their forces while using a great deal of restraint in the face of attacks from Iranians. No one on the US side has been injured.

    There have been a number of skirmishes like this, particularly just after the start of the ceasefire. At the time, Trump said he didn’t consider these to be a breach of the ceasefire.

It was never about the climate

The warming was never the issue. The issue was always the revolution.

Why haven’t you ever seen a climate change protest before the Chinese embassy anywhere?

Why is it always the US or capitalism messing up the environment?

Why don’t they show up at all when China is a bigger threat to clean air than any US city?

The answer is obvious, but I’ll say it.

It Was Never About The Climate

The protesters used climate change as a hook, but their ultimate goal was always more nefarious…

It was never about the climate but rather capitalism or the US.

Check this out:

In 2024, climate activists in New York City protested alongside anti-Israel protesters at a rally headlined “Climate Justice Means Free Palestine.”

Last year, climate change celebrity icon Greta Thunberg tried to storm Israel by sea on a flotilla protesting the country’s war in Gaza, yelling “Free! Free! Palestine!” when she was refused entry.

And, last week, activists from CodePink, a far-left feminist activist group that has received funds from an American expatriate, Neville Roy Singham, living in Shanghai, took a break from their rallies supporting the Islamic Republic of Iran and the Cuba Communist Party to circulate a video on Instagram, attacking a Utah data center project backed by investor Kevin O’Leary.

That’s a busy bunch protesting against the West.

Maybe someone should tell them that the clean air in Cuba is due to a collapse of industrial activity.

Or we can always remind them of how they treat gays in Palestine or women in general.

As the article points out, these marches were always about hating the West and what we stand for.

So don’t be fooled by the slogans or some well-meaning people showing up to protest.

The root of all of this is hatred of the West and our individual freedoms.

Soon Everyone Will Be Talking About The Cost Of Food

There is not going to be an agreement to end the war.

Everyone Talks About The Cost Of Gasoline… Soon Everyone Will Be Talking About The Cost Of Food

“The big story right now is oil… The next story is food.”

For most people, the price of gasoline is the most obvious consequence of the war in the Middle East. As I write this article, the average price of a gallon of gasoline in the United States is $4.56. Of course, in some parts of the country, consumers are paying much more than that. This is a big story, and the truth is that gasoline prices are going to go even higher in the months ahead.

But if you think that the price of gasoline is bad, just wait until you see what eventually happens to food prices. The price of diesel has been rising even faster than the price of regular gasoline, and fertilizer prices have been absolutely skyrocketing. Those costs will get passed along to the rest of us. It is just a matter of time. Meanwhile, our farmers are dealing with drought conditions that are unprecedented, and now a “Super El Niño” is coming.

What all of this means is that food prices will rise to very painful levels.

So even though everyone is complaining about rising gasoline prices at the moment, one prominent economist is warning that “the next story is food”…
