Iran has vowed to retaliate against the United States after it fired upon and seized a cargo vessel in the Strait of Hormuz. “Trump, by imposing a blockade and violating the ceasefire, seeks, in his view, to turn the negotiating table into a table of surrender or to justify renewed warmongering,” said Iran’s parliamentary speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf. Ghalibaf led the Iranian delegation in the failed talks with Vice President J.D. Vance in Islamabad, Pakistan, on April 11th. Vance Fails In Iran: No Peace Deal According to state media, as reported by NBC News, the ministry called the Sunday night cargo vessel seizure of the Touska commercial vessel an “illegal and brutal act” that “constitutes piracy and a terrorist action.” It said the seizure near Iran’s coast in the Sea of Oman was “another clear breach” of the two-week U.S.-Iran ceasefire, which expires Wednesday.

As demand surges for one of the military’s most in-demand missile interceptors, the Navy is preparing to bring it to sea. The service plans to integrate the PAC-3 Missile Segment Enhancement interceptor into its Aegis Combat System for the first time, Lockheed Martin announced in a Tuesday statement, as demand for the missile grows and the Pentagon expands production. The Army uses the interceptor missile, known as the PAC-3 MSE, in its Patriot air defense system, and the move will bring the interceptor aboard the Navy’s ships for use within the Aegis system to detect and intercept incoming aerial threats.The Aegis is an automated naval weapons system incorporated onto destroyers and cruisers that uses an advanced radar system to identify and track and then guide missiles like Standard Missile surface-to-air weapons. It can track over 100 targets at a time. Now, Lockheed Martin has been awarded a “multi-million” dollar contract to incorporate PAC-3 MSE missiles into the system, according to the company’s statement. It did not specify a specific dollar amount or timeline for the testing or integration.“This integration further expands the capability of Aegis to engage missile threats at multiple layers, enabling a more comprehensive and effective defense against evolving threats, ensuring the warfighter has…

Actress Maggie Gyllenhaal said President Donald Trump’s first election in 2016 is what inspired her to take up directing films like “The Bride!” ahead of the film’s lackluster release.In a resurfaced interview last month, Gyllenhaal spoke with the New York Times’ “The Interview” podcast to promote her feminist horror take on the “Bride of Frankenstein” character where she discussed the shrinking number of female directors working on major projects.Despite the low number, Gyllenhaal described the “impact” female directors like Chloé Zhao have made and argued that there could still be a huge cultural pushback from the lack of female voices, using Trump’s election as an example.MAGGIE GYLLENHAAL, RYAN REYNOLDS, AND MORE STARS RALLY TO READ MOM’S LETTER AFTER SHE WAS SEPARATED FROM 2-YEAR-OLD SON “I will say, and I don’t know if I’ve said this out loud before,” Gyllenhaal said. “Again, maybe I’ll get in trouble, but I actually think that when I really became a director was actually I think the first time that the morning that Trump was first elected, I think I was like, I have a lot more to say than I’ve been saying.”Gyllenhaal added that the industry…
The United States military announced Tuesday that its forces had struck and destroyed 16 of Iran’s minelayers near the Strait of Hormuz. The claim was made amid mounting concern that the Islamic Republic was preparing to deploy mines in the crucial waterway. The figure of 16 vessels comes from U.S. Central Command, which posted an accompanying 34-second video clip showing some of the strikes. President Donald Trump had given a lower figure in a social media post a short time earlier. “I am pleased to report that within the last few hours, we have hit, and completely destroyed, 10 inactive mine laying boats and/or ships, with more to follow!” Trump wrote on Truth Social. The president’s statement came in the wake of his vow that Iran would face military consequences “at a level never seen before,” if mines were placed in the vital waterway and not removed forthwith.“If, on the other hand, they remove what may have been placed, it will be a giant step in the right direction,” Trump said. “Additionally, we are using the same Technology and Missile capabilities deployed against Drug Traffickers to permanently eliminate any boat or ship attempting to mine the Hormuz Strait.

Podcaster Joe Rogan marveled on Tuesday at how Democrats still claim to believe that voter ID has parallels to the dark days of Jim Crow.Rogan spoke to journalist Michael Shellenberger about the national debate regarding voter ID legislation, arguing that it seems like common sense. He recalled a famous incident in 2021 when then-Vice President Kamala Harris expressed concern about voter ID laws, saying that rural people might not have access to a Xerox machine or Kinko’s facility to scan their ID. Rogan said the moral panic about voter ID is particularly absurd in the wake of a multi-year pandemic when people were expected to carry cards proving their vaccination status.FETTERMAN SLAMS DEMOCRATS’ ‘JIM CROW 2.0’ VOTER ID RHETORIC AS PARTY UNITY FRACTURES “When I talk to my progressive friends about it, you know, and family and friends, it’s very much like, ‘No, we can’t put barriers on the way of voting because that’s what they did during Jim Crow,’ I mean, that’s where it goes back to,” Shellenberger said.”ID is not a barrier,” Rogan replied. “It’s just an insurance that you’re a citizen while you’re voting.”Shellenberger added further that such progressives he…
