MoreNEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles! Israeli officials are warning that Iran’s ongoing internet blackout is shaping the battlefield in ways that extend far beyond cyberspace, limiting visibility into the impact of U.S. and Israeli strikes while tightening the regime’s grip on its own population.Multiple Israeli sources told Fox News that the blackout is not only restricting information from leaving Iran but also preventing citizens from organizing internally, at a time when pressure on the regime is mounting. Attempts by civilians to access the internet through satellite services such as Starlink have been disrupted through jamming, according to Israeli officials, while hundreds of individuals suspected of using such terminals have been detained.”This is a blackout on truth,” a senior Israeli intelligence official told Fox News. “The regime is hiding reality from its own people. They don’t want the Iranian people to see how badly they’re getting hit.” ISRAEL HAMMERS IRANIAN INTERNAL SECURITY COMMAND CENTERS TO OPEN DOOR TO UPRISING The information vacuum inside Iran is being filled by state-controlled narratives, according to the official. “Iranians only know what they see on TV channels controlled by the Islamic regime, which falsely shows the U.S. and Israel being destroyed,” the Israeli official…
An Oregon senator has placed a hold on unanimous consent promotions for three military officers, citing behavior — including war zone misconduct allegations and a podcast with extremist language and viewpoints — that he says make the officers “unfit” for higher roles.Sen. Ron Wyden, D-Ore., placed a hold Wednesday on the promotions of Marine Lt. Col. Vincent Noble, Col. Thomas Siverts and Navy Lt. Cmdr. Thomas MacNeil, saying his objections to a process that would quickly approve the promotions as a bloc was based on “misconduct or concerning judgement.”In responses provided to Military Times, Wyden’s office made clear that the holds were a direct response to Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth’s reported decision to pull two Black and two female military officers from a list of troops up for promotion to general or flag officer.“Donald Trump and Pete Hegseth have launched an unprecedented politicization of the military promotion process, most recently, reportedly blocking promotions for Black and female officers,” Wyden said. “I asked my staff to vet potential promotions, to ensure the Senate is doing its job to ensure the officers leading our armed forces continue to meet the services’ high standards.”In the case of Noble and MacNeil, Wyden cited their…
NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles! A New Jersey school district is being threatened with legal action unless it repeals a policy that lets schools withhold students’ gender-identity information from parents, setting up what could become an early test of the Supreme Court’s recent intervention in the fight over parental rights and school disclosure rules.The Thomas More Society, a conservative legal group, accused the Westwood Regional School District in a demand letter of wrongfully maintaining the policy, which also allows the schools, in some cases, to aid K-12 students’ “social transition” to becoming transgender without their parents’ knowledge. The move comes weeks after the Supreme Court dealt a major victory to conservative parents in Mirabelli v. Bonta by upholding an injunction against a similar policy in California. “I had hoped this would end the practice of secret gender transitions, but what’s becoming clear to us is this is just the beginning,” Peter Breen, Thomas More Society executive vice president, told Fox News Digital. “This is not an end, but a beginning, our big win in the Supreme Court. We are already fielding requests from other parents across the country, and we anticipate sending a lot more demand letters, unfortunately.”CATHOLIC GROUP…
MANILA, Philippines — The Japanese destroyer JS Chokai is now capable of launching U.S. Tomahawk cruise missiles, making it the first Japanese warship that can strike targets beyond 1,000 kilometers.This development marks a key shift in the country’s defense strategy. Japan committed to acquiring 400 Tomahawks last year to equip its eight Aegis destroyers as part of a larger standoff capability, which includes fielding upgraded Type 12 missiles in the southwest and deploying hyper velocity gliding projectile systems across the country.The existing missile defense network may not be fully capable of responding to threats, Defense Minister Shinjiro Koizumi told reporters in a briefing on Friday.“To prevent missiles flying through the missile defense network and to prevent further armed attacks, it is necessary to … have the ability to counterattack. Stand-off missiles can also be used for this counterattack ability,” Koizumi said.The destroyer’s launcher modification marks a landmark milestone in the country’s efforts to rapidly deploy stand-off capabilities and bolster deterrence measures, he added.Stand-off weaponry describes a class of ams with ranges so long that operators can fire them from a safe distance, without fearing countermeasures capable of reaching them.The defense ministry introduced stand-off capabilities in 2017, and it formed the…

Senior Commander Says Army Nears “Collapse” Due to Personnel Shortage Israel’s military chief of staff warned the country’s security cabinet this week that the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) risk collapsing due to a critical shortage of personnel, according to multiple media reports. Lt. Gen. Eyal Zamir reportedly stated that the military is “going to collapse in on itself” if urgent measures are not taken to address a deficit of approximately 12,000 troops. [1] The warning was delivered during a closed-door meeting on March 25, according to a report from The Cradle, a regional affairs publication. Zamir told ministers he was “raising 10 red flags” regarding the army’s condition. The statement was framed as highlighting systemic, long-term issues of sustainability rather than predicting an immediate operational halt. [2] Details of the Reported Warning and Command-Level Discussion The alleged comments were made during a meeting with Israel’s National Security Council, also known as the security cabinet. Hebrew-language news outlet Channel 13 reported that Zamir cautioned that force requirements were expanding rapidly while the army remained overstretched.

In one image, she is seen speaking with the mosque’s longtime leader, Imam Mohammad Qatanani.”Thank you to the Islamic Center of Passaic County for welcoming me to join their celebration as the holy month of Ramadan comes to a close,” she wrote. “I wish our Muslim neighbors a safe, joyous, and peaceful Eid al-Fitr.”Qatanani, a Palestinian-born cleric, has been at the center of a decades-long immigration battle after federal authorities sought to deport him, citing alleged ties to Hamas and claims he failed to disclose a prior detention in Israel.

Search-and-rescue teams from the National Guard are fanning out across Hawaii, where a powerful storm has destroyed hundreds of homes and buried roads in red volcanic mud.Hawaii’s Governor Josh Green declared on Saturday that he was mobilizing 195 soldiers and airmen to aid communities. Catastrophic winds and flash flooding have forced thousands in the archipelago to evacuate and prompted over 200 rescues, according to authorities. The islands of Oahu and Maui have borne the brunt of the deluge, with some communities inundated by up to 4 feet of rain from the back-to-back storms that began late last week. Green described the floods as the worst the state has seen in more than two decades, with rising waters ravaging airports, schools and a hospital. The extreme conditions have left some neighborhoods completely isolated. “While the immediate threat from the storm has passed, recovery efforts continue across the islands as state and county crews assess damage, clear debris and restore impacted infrastructure,” the governor’s office asserted in a press release.Early estimates place losses well above $1 billion.Maj. Gen. Stephen Logan, the state’s adjutant general, said that the Hawaii National Guard has personnel stationed in every county emergency operations center to assist with…

Most of haven’t endured life in a barter economy. It’s when the currency of a country has been so devalued (usually because of hyperinflation) that traditional, everyday purchases are impossible. Other causes for the emergence of a barter economy include war and a general societal collapse. Historically, all commerce was based on a barter economy, at least in ancient times. It wasn’t until the invention of money and the belief that it was a tangible currency that money became an acceptable item for trade and commerce. The ancient Chinese introduced the concept around 600 B.C. and the ancient Greeks and Romans expanded the idea from there. But there’s a fundamental problem with money. It’s the belief and the faith that the money is actually worth anything. Worse, the value of any currency often fluctuates and when inflation and particularly hyperinflation occurs, the money becomes worthless. An often touted example is Germany in the 1920’s when it cost 200,000,000,000 Marks for a loaf of bread. In case you’re wondering, that’s 200 billion Marks. It’s at times like that when economies crumble and collapse, and barter becomes the only viable means for a transaction. Want to save this post for later? Click…
