United States energy companies could bring in billions of dollars if the war in Iran continues.  The global rise in energy prices, which has resulted from the U.S.-Israeli war against Iran, will make the U.S. one of the biggest beneficiaries. The Financial Times (FT) [behind a paywall] has reported that the U.S. stands to make billions of dollars from the rising cost of fuel, while citing estimates provided by the investment bank Jefferies. Oil prices have already surged past $100 per barrel due to the fallout from the ongoing war in the Middle East. If they remain elevated this year, American companies will receive a $63.4 billion boost from oil production, according to the energy research company Rystad. Oil Prices Spike As U.S., Israel, and Iran Intensify Attacks U.S. President Donald Trump used the opportunity to pivot from a focus on keeping energy prices low to painting high oil prices as a positive. “The United States is the largest Oil Producer in the World, by far, so when oil prices go up, we make a lot of money,” he said in a Truth Social post on Thursday. Remember when we concluded that the entire Venezuela debacle was all about the…

He told host Sean Hannity that the incident caused his heart to stop. “There was kind of touch-and-go at that time. And thankfully I’ve made a full recovery.”The life-threatening stroke left Fetterman with an auditory processing disorder that hampers his ability to understand and communicate speech.

An Iranian missile strike damaged five U.S. Air Force KC-135 Stratotanker refueling aircraft on the ground at Prince Sultan Air Base in Saudi Arabia, two U.S. officials told The Wall Street Journal.The aircraft were parked on the flight line at the time of the strike and sustained damage but were not destroyed, according to the officials. The tankers are being repaired and are expected to return to service. No U.S. personnel were killed in the attack, The Wall Street Journal reported.President Donald Trump disputed those characterizations in a Saturday Truth Social post, saying, “The Base was hit a few days ago, but the planes were not “struck” or “destroyed.” Four of the five had virtually no damage, and are already back in service. One had slightly more damage, but will be in the air shortly. None were destroyed, or close to that.” Trump singled out The Wall Street Journal by name, saying its reporting was “the exact opposite of the actual facts.”U.S. Central Command declined to comment on the strike.Prince Sultan Air Base has served as a key hub for U.S. aerial refueling operations supporting Operation Epic Fury, the joint U.S.-Israel campaign against Iran.

SETERMOEN, Norway — Norway’s elite soldiers for Arctic warfare swear by an old-fashioned method for staying hidden from drones’ sophisticated sensors: quinzhees, or snow caves, carefully dug by hand.Deep in Norwegian woods, some 400 kilometers away from the Russian border, an officer of the Norwegian Long Range Reconnaissance Squadron is hidden in a snow-made shelter, with only his light-grey firearm peeking out.The officer, nicknamed Poster Boy, is part of the country’s elite Arctic task force, designed to operate far behind enemy lines to conduct surveillance missions. The snow cave serving as his concealment is known as a quinzhee, 1.5m high and 2m wide, built by piling snow together and allowing it to sinter, or harden, a task force specialty.“It’s a constant evolution of what works and what doesn’t for us – what worked four years ago might not work today due to all the technology developments of equipment designed to catch us, some years ago a tent and camouflage could’ve been sufficient but not anymore,” the officer, who spoke anonymously because of the sensitivity around the unit, told Defense News.Training here alongside the Norwegian soldiers were several other nations’ elite unit, including U.K. Royal Marines and soldiers of the Canadian…

NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles! NCAA national champion gymnast Olivia Dunne came to grips with the idea she may not be “cut out” for watching her boyfriend, Paul Skenes, pitch with enormous stakes attached.Skenes was on the mound for Team USA to start their World Baseball Classic semifinal game against the Dominican Republic. He allowed a home run to Junior Caminero but buckled down and didn’t allow another run to cross the plate. In the fourth inning, the Dominican Republic had a good chance to get more runs on the board with the bases loaded. Skenes got catcher Austin Wells to fly out, ending the threat.Dunne posted a video to her TikTok page, showing herself nervously watching Skenes work his magic.”When someone says they’re stressed but they’ve never watched their man get out of a bases loaded jam repping the USA,” she wrote as the video’s screen caption.CONTROVERSIAL STRIKE THREE GIVES TEAM USA WIN AT WORLD BASEBALL CLASSIC, SOCIAL MEDIA ERUPTS Dunne added in the comments that she wished she was acting.”I am not cut out for this,” she added in the caption.Skenes lasted 4.1 innings and struck out two batters.

If there are any boats in the Air Force special warfare training pipeline, you can bet David Goggins will be carrying them.Goggins, who retired from active duty in the Navy SEALs in 2016 and has gone on to build a brand as a bestselling author and motivational speaker, has reenlisted at age 51. He is now assigned to the Special Warfare Training Wing, Air Force officials confirmed to Military Times.While Goggins did not publicly announce his return to active duty, the military-focused Instagram page “Come.Sit.And.Relax” set veteran communities abuzz March 13 when it posted a photo of Goggins in an Air Force uniform with a group of trainees in black berets.“Kept quiet on this for months until it inevitably went public,” the page’s author wrote. “David Goggins trying again for Pararescue at 51 after quitting so many years ago.”Air Force spokeswoman Ann Stefanek said the service, in accordance with policy, could not discuss the status, progression, or details of current trainees. While Goggins required an age waiver to reenlist, the Air Force did not provide additional details about the waiver.“Given MSgt Goggins’ background, it’s worth noting that the Air Force has welcomed special operators from other services to cross train…

The Leupold Mark 4 has easily been one of the most prolific military and law enforcement scopes available. While the flagship Mark 5HD scopes superseded that family, for years, professionals and serious shooters like myself asked when it would come back. The author tests the Leupold Mark 4HD 4.5-18x scope on the shooting range. Mounted to a Springfield Model 2020 Heatseeker and locked into a tripod, he has a solid base from which to evaluate the glass. Thankfully, it did as the new Leupold Mark 4HD line of scopes. These build upon a strong pedigree, while also being up to date for modern shooters. For this instance, I want to discuss the Leupold Mark 4HD 4.5-18X52 M1C3 Side Focus FFP with the PR2-MOA reticle system. For my review, I chose to mount this scope on my Springfield Armory Model 2020 Heatseeker in .308 Winchester. [Be sure to read Ian Kenney’s detailed explanation on how to mount a scope.] The Mark 4HD 4.5-1852 M1C3 Side Focus FFP PR2-MOA from Leupold is designed for long-range shooting, hunting or tactical use. Key features include a 4.5-18X magnification range, 52 mm objective lens, side-focus parallax adjustment (down to 25 yards), first focal plane (FFP)…
