Iran has launched a series of strikes against Israel in retaliation for a “preemptive” joint strike from Washington and Jerusalem. The initial strikes by the United States and Israel were said to be in response to a degradation in nuclear talks with Iran. On Saturday morning, Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz announced that the country had carried out a “preemptive strike” on Iran to “remove threats against the State of Israel.”  United States President Donald Trump later confirmed that American forces are participating, while vowing to dismantle the Iranian nuclear program, “raze [Iranian] missile industry,” and “annihilate their navy.” According to a report…

NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles! The Iranian women’s national soccer team made quite the statement on Monday night during the opening match of the Women’s Asian Cup, as they refused to sing while their national anthem played over the speakers at Cbus Super Stadium on the Gold Coast. The players were in their customary line before their match against South Korea, when the Iranian national anthem began to play. The women, looking straight ahead and barely moving, were stoic as it appeared there were jeers from the crowd. Later, applause erupted from those in attendance following the 3-0…

Vice President JD Vance — a Marine veteran of the Iraq War who has long been skeptical of American military interventions abroad — insisted Monday that the war with Iran is different because President Donald Trump “has clearly defined what he wants to accomplish.”“There’s just no way that Donald Trump is going to allow this country to get into a multiyear conflict with no clear end in sight and no clear objective,” Vance said in a primetime interview with Fox News. His remarks were his first in public since the U.S.-Israeli strikes on Iran began Saturday.“The president wants to make…

How far should your concealed carry handgun be capable of shooting? If you’re running off of averages, the statistics say seven yards. And I would buy that, given all the things a normal street crime lethal-force encounter involves. Positive ID, clear and present danger, blah blah blah. But if you base your needs on raw averages, you could risk it and leave your gun at home. While a .380 might seem like a close-range-only option, a solidly accurate gun like the Hellcat in .380 ACP can give you some options in a pinch. I don’t live that way, and odds…

One of Boker’s longest-running collaboration folders, the Exskelibur, has been graced with a new variation. It’s called the Modern Exskelibur, and it brings a new locking mechanism and a proprietary steel to this time-tested design. Don’t let the word “Modern” lead you astray; even the original Boker Plus Exskelibur was a modern knife by any reasonable definition. It’s an elder statesman in Boker’s catalog, designed by Mike Skellern and Fred Burger, two veteran knife makers from South Africa – a country somewhat known for its cutlery craftsmen, as it were; you may have heard of a few others like Arno…

This article was originally published by Michael Snyder at The Economic Collapse Blog.  The war with Iran that we have been waiting for is officially here. The U.S. and Israel are absolutely pummeling Iranian military targets, and in return, the Iranians are striking targets all over the Middle East. As you will see below, even a British military base in Cyprus has just been hit. I think that the Iranians were hoping that the unexpected nations that they are targeting would be so traumatized that they would beg the United States to stop the conflict, but instead, it seems like…
