The United States will need at least three years to restore an array of critical weapons systems to prewar levels following its 38-day bombing campaign against Iran, according to the Center for Strategic International Studies.The new analysis, released on Wednesday, warned that depleted inventories have “created a window of vulnerability for a potential Western Pacific conflict. The time needed to rebuild those inventories has thus become a major concern.”However, the authors acknowledged that the U.S. “has enough munitions for any plausible scenario in the Iran war.”U.S. Central Command said more than 12,000 targets were hit during Operation Epic Fury, which…

The recently appointed commander of Hamas’ military wing, Mohammed Odeh, has been killed in an airstrike in Gaza, the Israeli authorities have claimed. Israel claimed that Odeh was eliminated less than two weeks after the assassination of his predecessor.

Everyone is buzzing about the New York Knicks going to the NBA Finals, so much so that President Donald Trump says he’s going to head to New York to catch a game.Of course, New York Gov. Kathy Hochul — who not too long ago was pleading for big-money ex-New Yorkers to return to the state — thought she would try to dunk on the president by questioning his Knicks fandom.And, in the process, she wound up majorly embarrassing herself. President Trump announced his plans on Wednesday, and Hochul was quickly asked for her response.TRUMP SAYS HE THINKS HE’LL ATTEND NBA…

Tuesday was just a 1-1 day, nothing special, but also not a complete disaster. One of the things I love most about baseball is that we get to bet on it daily. Not only do we bet on it daily, but we also have a chance to read individual series.Unlike every other sport, where it is typically just one game outside of the playoffs, the mini-series gives us a chance to get a read on team performances. It doesn’t take much of a glance to see that the Chicago Cubs are in a terrible spot right now. They have lost…

Either that or we’ll have to just finish the job,” the president warned. “But their navy has gone, as I’ve said a thousand times, their navy is gone. Their air force is gone. Everything’s gone and they’re negotiating…
