The U.S. Department of Defense officially identified on Wednesday the remaining two of six American soldiers killed in a drone strike on a U.S. military facility at Shuaiba Port, Kuwait. The final victims were named as Sergeant Robert Marzan (54) of Sacramento, California, and Major Jeffrey O’Brien (45) of Indianola, Iowa. According to the Pentagon, Sgt. Marzan died instantly at the scene when the drone impacted the command center last Sunday. Most of the fallen soldiers serv

White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt stated on Wednesday, March 4, 2026, that President Donald Trump and his national security team are actively deliberating Washington’s potential role in a post-conflict Iran. While the primary focus remains the ongoing military operation, termed "Operation Epic Fury," discussions regarding Iran's political future are reportedly intensifying. Leavitt emphasized that the U.S. is closely monitoring reports from intelligence agencies in

In a surprising tactical shift, the U.S. military utilized low-cost suicide drones modeled after Iranian designs during Saturday’s massive strikes on Iran. The Pentagon confirmed the first combat use of the "Lucas" drone (costing only $35,000), part of a new "Affordable Mass" strategy inspired by the effectiveness of Iran’s own Shahed drones in global conflicts. Operation "Epic Fury" also featured the extensive use of Tomahawk cruise missiles, launched from sea to strike deep

The New York Times reported on Sunday, March 1, 2026, that the CIA successfully pinpointed the exact location of Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei moments before the massive U.S.-Israeli assault. According to officials, the agency had been monitoring Khamenei’s movements and behavioral patterns for months. The breakthrough came when the CIA intercepted intelligence regarding a high-level meeting at a command complex in central Tehran early Saturday morning. The U.S. and Israel repo

President Donald Trump sparked a new firestorm on Wednesday and Thursday after posting on Truth Social that Democratic Reps. Ilhan Omar and Rashida Tlaib should be "placed in a mental institution" and returned to their "original countries." The outburst followed a heated exchange during Tuesday's State of the Union address, where the two Muslim congresswomen shouted "You are killing Americans" and called him a "liar" during his remarks on immigration. Despite both being Ameri

In its latest assessment released Wednesday, February 25, 2026, the International Monetary Fund (IMF) projected a robust 2.4% growth for the U.S. GDP and a drop in unemployment to 4.1% this year. IMF Managing Director Kristalina Georgieva credited strong productivity for this performance but issued a stark warning: federal debt is on track to hit 110% of GDP by 2031, posing a systemic risk to financial stability. The report specifically took aim at President Donald Trump’s tr

In a judicial filing published Wednesday in New York, attorney Barry Pollack raised a formal complaint to Judge Alvin Hellerstein, alleging that the U.S. Treasury’s Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) is obstructing Nicolas Maduro’s constitutional right to counsel. Pollack revealed that a license allowing the Venezuelan government to pay for Maduro’s legal defense was revoked without explanation just hours after being granted in early January. The defense argues that by p

The United States has deployed a squadron of F-22 Raptors to an Israeli Air Force base, a move described by the Wall Street Journal as a significant escalation ahead of potential strikes on Iran. This deployment, completed between Tuesday and Wednesday (Feb 25, 2026), marks the first time such a large contingent of America's premier air-superiority fighters has been stationed on Israeli soil for operational duties. With 12 to 18 F-22s now in the region, the Pentagon has estab

FedEx has filed a major lawsuit in the U.S. Court of International Trade, seeking a full refund of emergency tariffs imposed by President Donald Trump. This move comes as the first significant legal challenge following last Friday's landmark Supreme Court ruling, which found that Trump exceeded his authority by using the "International Emergency Economic Powers Act" to levy duties on imports. Economists estimate that over $175 billion in collected tariff revenue could now be

The Swiss Foreign Ministry confirmed to AFP on Monday that it has frozen over $880 million (687 million Swiss francs) in assets linked to former Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro, his wife, and close associates. The move, which took effect on January 5, is described as a "preventative measure" to stop capital flight and enable legal cooperation between Switzerland and the new interim administration in Caracas. This financial crackdown follows the dramatic January 3 raid by

A discovery of a swastika at the Coast Guard’s Cape May Training Center in New Jersey has triggered an internal investigation and a fierce rebuke from leadership. The Nazi symbol was found on a bathroom wall by an instructor, prompting Coast Guard Commandant Admiral Kevin Lunday to personally address 900 recruits and staff. "Anyone who embraces or promotes hatred or extremist ideology—leave. Go. You have no place in the U.S. Coast Guard," Lunday stated in a blunt message. The

High-ranking U.S. officials, including Deputy Secretary of State Chris Landau, have launched a diplomatic offensive to soothe Arab nations’ fears following Ambassador Mike Huckabee’s controversial remarks. The administration is distancing itself from Huckabee’s suggestion that Israel has a biblical right to territories from the "Nile to the Euphrates," insisting these comments reflect his "personal views" and not official policy. Sources indicate that the Trump administration

A powerful Nor'easter has buried the U.S. Northeast under record-breaking snowfall, forcing a total shutdown in major cities. Rhode Island saw a historic 80cm of snow, while New York City’s Central Park recorded 50cm, its highest in over a decade. NYC Mayor Zohran Mamdani imposed a strict travel ban, closing schools and the UN Headquarters to ensure public safety. The storm’s impact has been devastating: over 5,600 flights canceled, hundreds of thousands left without power, a

In a stunning diplomatic snub, French Foreign Minister Jean-Noël Barrot has ordered a ban on U.S. Ambassador Charles Kushner from directly communicating with members of the French government. The move follows Kushner’s failure to appear at the Foreign Ministry on Monday evening after being summoned over the Trump administration’s remarks regarding the death of a far-right student, Quentin Durancq. Barrot slammed Kushner for a "clear lack of understanding" of diplomatic norms

U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) confirmed it will stop collecting tariffs imposed under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA) at 12:01 AM ET on Tuesday. The move follows a landmark Supreme Court ruling on Friday declaring these specific duties illegal. However, the relief for importers might be short-lived, as President Donald Trump has already invoked a different legal authority to impose a new 15% global tariff to replace the struck-down measures.

The death of Nemesio Oseguera, famously known as "El Mencho," at the hands of the Mexican military on Sunday, has triggered a wave of "narco-blockades" across six states. Cartel gunmen set fire to vehicles and businesses, paralyzing major highways. The violence forced international airlines, including Air Canada and United, to cancel flights to the popular resort of Puerto Vallarta, where tourists watched in disbelief as black smoke filled the sky. While President Claudia She

On Saturday, February 21, 2026, President Donald Trump announced the deployment of a "great hospital boat" (likely the USNS Mercy) to Greenland to treat patients who are "not being taken care of." The mission is led by Jeff Landry, the Louisiana Governor and Trump's special envoy to the Arctic. Trump posted an AI-generated image of the massive vessel navigating icy waters, declaring, "It's on the way!!!" Denmark and Greenland were quick to push back. Defense Minister Troels L

French Foreign Minister Jean-Noël Barrot announced Sunday he will summon U.S. Ambassador Charles Kushner following a controversial statement by the U.S. Embassy regarding the death of right-wing activist Quentin Dérancq. The Embassy had linked the murder to "rising violent left-wing extremism," a move Paris condemned as "unacceptable foreign interference" and "political exploitation" of a judicial matter. Barrot firmly stated that France does not need "lessons in violence" fr

The New York Times has issued a stark warning to the Trump administration, highlighting that a military operation against Iran would be far more complex and dangerous than the swift arrest of Nicolas Maduro in Venezuela. Experts, including Ali Vaez from the International Crisis Group, told the paper that there is no "low-cost or clean" military option, warning of significant American casualties that could haunt Trump during an election year. Unlike the exposed Venezuelan skie

President Donald Trump sent shockwaves through global markets this Saturday by announcing a unilateral hike in global tariffs from 10% to 15%. The move comes less than 24 hours after a U.S. Supreme Court ruling declared his previous tariff structure unconstitutional. In a fiery post on Truth Social, Trump blasted the court's decision as "ridiculous" and "anti-American," asserting his presidential authority to protect the nation from economic exploitation. By raising tariffs t
