No nation could shield itself from a French nuclear strike, the president has said France will expand its nuclear arsenal as part of the nation’s new nuclear strategy, President Emmanuel Macron has said. He argued that the nation can only ensure its security by being “feared.”The announcement came during a keynote speech given by Macron on Monday at a military base hosting the country’s ballistic missile submarines. He justified the need to review the nuclear posture by the need to adapt to what he described as a new reality, citing Russia’s ongoing development of its arsenal and China’s efforts to…

Iranian Supreme National Security Council Secretary Ali Larijani – seemingly the de facto leader of Iran following the liquidation of Ayatollah Ali Khamenei in Operation Epic Fury – insisted on social media that he will never negotiate with the United States, but there were reports on Sunday that Larijani has quietly reached out through intermediaries in Oman to resume nuclear talks. The Wall Street Journal (WSJ) quoted U.S. and Arab officials on Sunday who said Larijani reached out to Oman, which mediated the past three rounds of indirect nuclear talks between the U.S. and Iran, and expressed a desire to…

Monday on ABC’s “God Morning America,” correspondent Jonathan Karl said President Donald Trump felt “invincible” following the strikes in Iran. Karl said, “I spoke to the president, he sounded to me like a president who feels invincible. He talked about the military strike he ordered last summer against the nuclear program in Iran. He talked about the operation to take out Nicholas Maduro in Venezuela and what he sees as a wildly successful attack now underway against Iran. He told me, quote, nobody could have done this, but me, and you know that. In fact, George, he suggested that the success…

The fundamental restraining elements of international relations are being dismantled today. The war against Iran will only accelerate this process and deepen the chaos already shaping global politics. Whatever the outcome of the current crisis, the attack by the US and Israel on Iran will have consequences far beyond the fate of the Islamic Republic itself. What is really at stake is the perception of what is possible and acceptable in international relations. That perception is changing, and not for the better.First of all, any appeal to international law, which formally underpins diplomacy, has lost even its symbolic meaning. When the US…

Iran’s Islamic regime designated Ahmad Vahidi, Deputy Commander of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), as its new leader following the death of Mohammad Pakpour, several outlets reported. The United States on Saturday launched “Operation Epic Fury,” attacking a large number of Iranian missile assets and high-profile targets alongside Israel, resulting in the death of several Iranian regime officials — including “Supreme Leader” Ayatollah Ali Khamenei. Pakpour, who served as IRGC’s Commander since June 2025, was among those killed during the joint U.S.-Israel strikes, according to Israeli officials. President Donald Trump told ABC News on Sunday that every potential successor to Khamenei was killed during…

During oral arguments in U.S. v. Hemani, Justice Neil Gorsuch addressed the gun ban for “unlawful” users of marijuana by juxtaposing it with evidence that some of the Founding Fathers may be described as “habitual drunkards.” CBS News noted that the statute on which Hemani centers “was enacted by Congress in 1968 as part of the Gun Control Act and forbids an unlawful drug user from having a firearm. A violation of the law is a felony punishable by up to 15 years in prison.” The defendant, Ali Hemani, was charged under the statute “after the FBI found a Glock 9mm pistol,…

NBC’s Saturday Night Live is facing backlash for what social media users call a “disgusting” and “shameful” sketch that featured comedians playing celebrities justifying their past scandals by blaming them on Tourette syndrome — in reference to the racial slur controversy at the British Academy Film Awards (BAFTAs) last week. “Hi, I’m Mel Gibson, and as I probably should have pointed out decades ago, I, too, suffer from Tourette’s, which explains a lot of the things I’ve said or yelled through the years,” comedian Andrew Dismukes said, mocking the BAFTA slur incident. Watch Below: As the SNL sketch continued, the celebrities’ scandals became…

The head of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), an arm of the United Nations, stated on Monday that there is no evidence of elevated radiation levels in Iran or that its illicit nuclear enrichment sites were attacked during America’s “Operation Epic Fury.” President Donald Trump announced a massive military campaign on Saturday against the Iranian Islamist regime alongside the Israel Defense Forces (IDF), targeting much of the regime’s leadership. By Saturday night, Trump confirmed the death of 86-year-old longtime dictator Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, and the next day reportedly claimed that all potential successors his administration was examining had also…

A swift US victory, a grinding stalemate, or a strategic failure in Tehran – each scenario carries direct military and political consequences for Kiev The strategy of the US-Israeli attack on Iran apparently mirrors America’s earlier military operation in Venezuela: first eliminating the country’s leadership (through abduction in the case of Venezuela and direct assassination in the case of Iran) and then effectively achieving the ‘surrender’ of the new regime, which is forced to accept the terms set by the attackers.It’s uncertain how long Iran can hold out, but it seems this plan has failed: despite Washington’s hints, Iran’s new…

Italian authorities uncovered an ancient treasure off the coast of Apulia in the Ionian Sea in June, but kept the discovery a secret until recently. The Guardia di Finanza, a militarized police force for financial matters, told Fox News officials they found a Roman merchant shipwreck with a cargo of amphorae when they were conducting routine maritime patrols, the outlet reported Monday. The ship dates to about 284 A.D. through 641 A.D. “The ship’s amphorae were designed to transport garum, a fermented fish sauce widely used as a condiment in ancient Rome, according to local outlet Giornale d’Italia,” the Fox…
