A senior Islamic State leader was killed by an airstrike last week, Central Command announced on Wednesday, as the region grapples with a fraught security landscape amid U.S. base closures in Syria and the escape of ISIS personnel from detainment. Ali Husayn al-Ulaywi was killed in a precision airstrike on June 19 as part of the U.S.’s ongoing campaign to eradicate the militant group, the command said.“CENTCOM and our partners remain committed to rooting out remaining remnants of ISIS to ensure its enduring defeat,” Adm. Brad Cooper, the CENTCOM commander, said in the Wednesday statement. “We will continue to defend the U.S. homeland, our service members, and allies and partners across the region.”After the December 2024 fall of former Syrian President Bashar al-Assad, different armed groups scrambled to control various corners of the country. Early this year, Syria’s rapidly shifting front lines allowed around 150 ISIS detainees to escape custody, according to a recent Inspector General report. As security deteriorated, U.S. forces secured the Panorama detention facility in northeastern Syria and in the weeks that followed, CENTCOM transferred over 5,000 ISIS detainees from Syria to government-run facilities in Iraq. The report also found that up to 20,000 residents left the…

Russian President Vladimir Putin claims that the United States is no longer hiding its plans for war with Russia. Putin specifically called out NATO (North Atlantic Treaty Organization) and the European Union, saying its leaders are using “false claims” about the supposed “Russian threat” to justify rampant militarization. “Now, they are openly saying that they are preparing for war with us, increasing military offensive budgets,” Putin said. He argued that Western governments are using the same playbook that has always been used against Russia. Putin made the remarks Tuesday during a ceremony celebrating graduates of Russia’s military, security, and law enforcement academies. He added that the West is still using the same playbook that it’s always used to justify war with Russia. The West and the EU are reluctant to strike Russia themselves because “they understand that there will be retaliation.” “At first, they create threats for our country, force us to take actions necessary for self-defense, and then immediately accuse us of all mortal sins to justify the continuation of their aggressive policy,” he said. Putin also compared these escalation efforts to those of Nazi Germany and other Western countries to label the Soviet Union as the aggressor after…

NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles! The Ole Miss Rebels had perhaps their best season in program history, but it still was not a success for Kewan Lacy.”I grade it based off of that – that the ultimate prize wasn’t won,” the star running back told Fox News Digital in a recent interview.In any case, though, the Rebels were able to get through the distraction and fiasco that was Lane Kiffin leaving Oxford to join LSU just before the playoffs started. At any point during the postseason, the team had no idea which assistants would be on the sidelines, as many of them joined Kiffin at LSU. “We still came up short in the season. The main goal is to get to that national title. But we never really let the outside noise get to us. We just tried to focus on game by game,” Lacy added.”It’s a part of football now. There’s a business aspect of it so everybody has to do what they have to do. But I feel like we just have to go out there and do what we needed to do, because at the end of the day we’re on the field and…

U.S. Army Gen. Christopher Donahue, who oversaw the service’s operations across Europe and Africa and became known as the last U.S. soldier to leave Afghanistan, will unexpectedly relinquish command next week after just 18 months in the role, the Pentagon confirmed Wednesday. “Gen. Christopher Donahue, commanding general of U.S. Army Europe and Africa and commander of NATO’s Allied Land Command, will relinquish command on July 2, 2026,” Army spokeswoman Cynthia O. Smith said in a statement. “Maj. Gen. Christopher Norrie, deputy commander, U.S. Army Europe and Africa will perform the duties of the commanding general. The Army thanks Gen. Donahue for his leadership of U.S. Army Europe and Africa.”The Army did not provide a reason for the abrupt leadership change. Donahue’s exit was first reported Tuesday by The Atlantic. The West Point graduate took command of U.S. Army Europe and Africa in December 2024 after previously leading the XVIII Airborne Corps and the 82nd Airborne Division. Donahue in 2021 oversaw security during the frenzied U.S. withdrawal from Afghanistan.A night-vision Pentagon photograph showing Donahue boarding the last C-17 out of Kabul became one of the defining images capturing the end of a nearly 20-year war. His departure comes amid the Pentagon’s…

I love 1911 handguns. There is something about the short and light trigger that helps me shoot 1911 pistols more precisely than any other pistol platform. Quite simply, the 1911 pistol hits “home” with me. The craftsmanship engineered into a 1911 supersedes other semi-auto pistols by far for me. I enjoy the solid construction and the comfortable shooting with the 1911. This lineup of Springfield Armory 1911 and Prodigy pistols shows how far optic-ready slides have come on the classic platform. From left to right we have a 3.5″ Compact Prodigy AOS, a 4.25″ TRP Carry Contour AOS, a 5″ 1911 Operator AOS, and a 5″ Prodigy AOS. I especially appreciate modern features with the 1911. This is where Springfield Armory shines with cutting-edge technology and user-friendly functions that aids shooters to accurately shoot better than their abilities allow. Springfield Armory took the bare bones, basic 1911 design and revolutionized it with upgraded grips, sights and more — including the ability to accept optics — to help shooters reach their fullest potential. My history with modern featured 1911’s taught me that my best shooting accuracy is obtained with a modern 1911. But why? What About Optics on 1911 Pistols? The…

NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles! Buying a phone without tying it directly to your identity could get much harder. The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) is considering tougher “know your customer” rules for voice providers.The proposal would push phone companies to collect and keep more personal information before giving many new or renewing customers access to service. That could include your name, physical address, government-issued identification number and an alternate phone number.The FCC says the goal is to make life harder for scammers, robocallers and criminals who abuse phone networks.

This article was originally published by Lance D. Johnson at Natural News.  The Iran war, a devastating 15-week conflict that ended with an electronic peace deal in June 2026, has already exacted a staggering financial toll on the United States. According to the Iran War Cost Tracker, the direct taxpayer burden stands at $113.3 billion, with Moody’s Analytics estimating total costs to taxpayers and consumers at $132 billion. Yet this figure may be only the beginning: Harvard economist Linda Bilmes projects long-term expenses, including veterans’ care, interest on debt, and broader economic ripple effects, could soar past $1 trillion. Direct military spending alone, per the Center for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS), has reached roughly $40 billion. Operation Midnight Hammer, the initial 2025 strike on Iranian nuclear facilities involving B-2 bombers deploying 30,000-pound bunker-buster bombs, required $636 million in emergency funds just to replace munitions like Massive Ordnance Penetrators and Tomahawks, while also covering support for Israeli defenses. Beyond Pentagon outlays, U.S. households have felt the squeeze. The conflict’s disruption of the Strait of Hormuz, tracked by Brown University’s Wider Middle East project, cost American families nearly $27.1 billion in higher diesel prices and hundreds of dollars more at the…
