Is Trump Preparing A Final Blow Against Iran? Signs Point To A Decisive Phase The movement of U.S. refueling tankers, heightened security warnings, and growing pressure to stabilize oil markets are fueling speculation that Washington may be preparing for a decisive new phase against Iran. A final overwhelming push could shorten the war—but it could also trigger terrorism, cyberattacks, proxy escalation, and a wider regional conflict. Are the latest deployments precautionary, or the calm before a much larger storm? Continue Reading

 

Could The Backlash Against Artificial Intelligence Turn Violent? Artificial intelligence is creating extraordinary opportunity—but also growing fear, anger, and even violent threats. As workers worry about disappearing careers and communities resist enormous data centers consuming local land, power, and water, the conflict is moving beyond policy debates. Could sabotage, vandalism, or organized unrest become the next phase of the backlash against those building the AI future? Continue Reading

Vance Is The Variable In The Partisan Divide On Israel A recent congressional vote exposed a dramatic partisan split over military support for Israel, with nearly every Republican opposing a cutoff while a majority of Democrats backed it. Yet Vice President JD Vance complicates the picture. His criticism of Israel and reluctance to confront anti-Israel voices on the right could reshape the GOP’s position—and the 2028 presidential race. Continue Reading

US soldier killed and one injured after Iranian attack in Iraq

  The US military says a service member was killed after an Iranian attack in northern Iraq on Saturday, a day after an attack on a base in Jordan killed two US soldiers and left another missing.

US Central Command (Centcom) said the individual was killed during "a controlled detonation of unexploded ordnance" from a downed Iranian attack drone, which also wounded a second service member.

In its update, Centcom said it had found "unidentified remains" after a search of the location of Friday's attack in Jordan. "An examination process to verify the remains is ongoing," it added.

It comes as the US and Iran exchanged strikes for an eighth day of escalating attacks.

Both sides have been accused of striking critical infrastructure in recent days. Meanwhile, Washington has reimposed its blockade of Iranian ports and Tehran has declared the Strait of Hormuz closed and targeted US allies in the region, as a preliminary ceasefire collapsed less than a month after it began.

The US military said its latest attacks had been designed to "degrade Iran's ability to threaten commercial shipping" in the strait, and to "swiftly punish" Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) forces it said were responsible for the attack in Jordan.

Islam as a Mirror: What Europe’s Migration Crisis Reveals About the West’s Loss of Faith

 The following was written by Solène Tadié for the National Catholic Register after she interviewed Raymond Ibrahim.

Mass migration has become one of the defining flashpoints of Western politics, from the United States to Europe. For three decades, the Catholic Church has tried to bring moral clarity to the question, with each pope shaping that response through his own background and theological sensibility. Pope Leo, infused with his longtime experience as a missionary in Latin America, has repeatedly pressed the Trump administration over its treatment of migrants, suggesting that opposing abortion while supporting harsh deportation policy is not, in fact, a pro-life position.

That universal moral framework, however, encounters a particularly complex reality in Europe, where migration is overwhelmingly Muslim and where a long history of conflict with Islam still shapes political debate. Many European Catholics often feel torn between a desire to defend a culture and a faith they see eroding and a Church whose leadership has consistently called for welcome and mercy toward migrants regardless of origin and religion.

Few people have spent as long studying those relations as Raymond Ibrahim, a U.S. historian of Christian-Muslim relations and author of a number of internationally acclaimed books, including Sword and Scimitar: Fourteen Centuries of War Between Islam and the West and Defenders of the West: The Christian Heroes Who Stood Against Islam. Speaking with the Register in the context of a series of conferences in Europe in May, he offered a reading of the current moment that takes the crisis seriously while challenging the terms in which it is most commonly framed.

Russia launches major ballistic missile attack on Ukrainian cities

 Russia has carried out a wave of ballistic missile and drone strikes on Ukraine, killing at least eight people and injuring dozens, officials say.

Four people were killed in the north-eastern city of Kharkiv, and an elderly woman died in the capital Kyiv. There were two more fatalities in Zaporizhzhia in the south and one in Sumy in the north-east.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said the raid on Kyiv was "one of the most massive ballistic attacks" since Russia launched a full-scale invasion in 2022.

Late on Sunday, Ukraine's navy said five people were killed when a Turkish-owned civilian cargo ship with grain was hit by Russian missiles in the Black Sea. Russia has not commented.

Meanwhile, Ukraine said it had hit three Russian oil tankers in the Black Sea, and three oil depots in the southern Stavropol region. Zelensky said they were targets that "finance Russian aggression".

A number of areas in the Kyiv region were hit overnight. The Ukrainian military said air defences in the capital had shot down 18 out of 41 missiles. The systems also intercepted 108 drones.

US and Iran exchange strikes after two US soldiers killed in Jordan

  The US launched another round of air strikes against Iran on Saturday night, targeting its coastal surveillance and air defence facilities, US military officials said.

US Central Command (Centcom) said forces successfully hit Iranian military capabilities, while Iranian state media said Qeshm Island in the Strait of Hormuz had been struck.

Centcom said it also targeted Iran's Revolutionary Guards (IRGC) responsible for the attack that killed two US troops in Jordan on Friday, where another service member remains missing.

In response to the latest strikes, Iran's army said it carried out drone attacks on two US bases in Kuwait, according to state media.

The US and Iran have ramped up attacks against each other in recent days, with both sides accused of striking critical infrastructure.

On Saturday, Iran said it carried out "large-scale attacks with kamikaze drones" against an American military "depot at Camp Udairi" and another at "Ali Al Salem Air Base in Kuwait", according to the IRGC-affiliated Tasnim news agency.

Donald J. Trump’s Unfinished War With Iran Turns Catastrophic As More American Troops Are Killed By Direct Iranian Fire On A Military Base In Jordan

  Donald Trump and Pete Hegseth Called It A “Decisive Military Victory,” But Iran Is Still Firing Missiles, Striking U.S. Bases And Killing American Troops

CENTCOM says Iranian ballistic missiles and drones struck American and partner forces in Jordan, killing two U.S. service members, leaving one unaccounted for and sending four others to hospitals. The war has now claimed 16 American service members and wounded more than 430. These are not the statistics of a conflict that is “all but over.” 

They are the mounting casualties of a war that has entered a dangerous new phase. Secretary of War Pete Hegseth and President Donald Trump have continually lied to us about the true nature, and danger, of this war, and it is past time that Congress held them both to account, under oath. 

Preferably with their hands on a King James Bible that Trump says is his favorite Book. 2 US servicemen, and maybe more, died today in a war that Trump said was already finished. That's not acceptable to me, and it shouldn't be to you, either.
