The U.S. military targeted Iranian radar and command control sites this weekend in response to hostile acts from the country, according to U.S. Central Command.The U.S. launched self-defense strikes, including fighter jets that destroyed Iranian air defenses, a ground control station and two suicide drones attempting to thwart the safe passage of ships in surrounding sea passages.“The measured and deliberate strikes occurred on Saturday and Sunday in response to aggressive Iranian actions that included the shootdown of a U.S. MQ-1 drone that was operating over international waters,” CENTCOM said.No American troops were injured as a result of the exchange of fire.RELATEDThe ceasefire that began April 12 is still in effect despite an uptick in military activity, CENTCOM confirmed.U.S. military forces conducted self-defense strikes on May 25 against missile launch sites and Iranian boats that were in the process of laying mines.On Sunday evening, the U.S. also intercepted two ballistic missiles that Iran launched toward American forces in Kuwait.The Trump administration and the Islamic Republic of Iran are engaged in a back-and forth regarding a potential peace deal, with President Trump reportedly altering the deal as of Saturday to speed up a resolution.The proposed deal would end the Iran war, including…

For many shooters I know (including myself), customization isn’t a question of if, but when. By their nature, firearms are intensely personal tools. They’re also personal statements. It’s the appeal of taking that personal tool and adapting it to your own preferences and needs that drives these efforts. These can be functional adaptations, aesthetic ones, or both. The Shepard Arms customized Echelon 4.5F 9mm combines a solidly engineering foundation with a sound selection of classy tweaks and modifications. From the moment Springfield Armory introduced the 9mm Echelon, it was evident that modularity and customization were in its DNA. Its modular design (through its serialized “Central Operating Group” chassis), optics-ready “Variable Interface System” slide that can direct-mount a wide variety of popular optics, and interchangeable grip modules gave shooters a platform that could evolve with them. That kind of freedom naturally attracts creative minds, and one Wisconsin-based shop has taken that invitation to heart. A Canvas Shepard Arms, located in Menomonee Falls, took Springfield’s Echelon 4.5F and turned it into something that perfectly captures the spirit of modern customization. “When our team first got hands-on with the Springfield Armory Echelon, the reaction was unanimous: this pistol already has exceptional ergonomics,” said…

Sunday at the Charles Schwab Challenge was a bit sleepy, but then Russell Henley woke up in a rather aggressive mood. The 37-year-old flipped a switch down the stretch in Fort Worth to earn the sixth PGA Tour win of his career and pass quite a career milestone in the process.Where there is a winner, there are also many losers, and for Eric Cole, he’s essentially turned into the face of the latter group since earning his spot on the PGA Tour in 2023. His streak of not having the breaks fall his way earned another notch this week, but it’s not all bad for the former PGA Tour Rookie of the Year.On the other side of the planet, Joaquin Niemann found the LIV Golf winner’s circle yet again in South Korea. He’s somewhat sneakily benefited the most from leaving the PGA Tour, and all he’s missing now is to show any semblance of a pulse at a major championship.This is Par Talk, a weekly read to get you caught up on all the happenings that took place in professional golf that you need to know.

This article was originally published by Garrison Vance at Natural News.  Pakistan’s Defense Minister Khawaja Muhammad Asif has firmly rejected U.S. President Donald Trump’s demand that Islamabad normalize relations with Israel, saying the move contradicts the country’s fundamental ideologies. Asif stated in an interview with Samaa TV that Pakistan does not recognize Israel, according to multiple reports. [1] The rejection follows Trump’s call for Muslim nations to sign the Abraham Accords as a condition for any Iran deal. [2] Pakistan’s Longstanding Position on Israel Asif reiterated that Pakistan’s stance remains unchanged despite pressure from Washington. Pakistan historically links recognition of Israel to the establishment of an independent Palestinian state. Islamabad has maintained this policy since its founding, and its passport policy excludes Israel’s name, consistent with its refusal to recognize the country. In a closed-door meeting with Muslim leaders in 2025, Trump privately vowed to block Israel’s annexation of the West Bank, a move that signaled a possible shift in U.S. policy. [3] However, Pakistan has continued to hold firm on its position. The defense minister’s comments underscore a consistent view shared by many Muslim-majority nations. Asif said that recognizing Israel would be a “compromise on ideology” that Islamabad cannot accept. [4] Trump’s Push for Broader Normalization In…

Whew. What a race. What a finish in Nashville!Sure, it happened around midnight and we were all tucked in and tuckered out, but still … it’s Nashville. The best things usually don’t happen around there until after midnight.Feels like NASCAR needed a moment like that in the waning laps Sunday night. A restart with four to go. Denny Hamlin, Christopher Bell and Chase Briscoe beating and banging all the way to the checkers. Dale Earnhardt Jr. in the booth narrating the whole thing. A Kyle Busch bow at the end from Hamlin, who is now one of the last remaining members of the “old guard” in the garage.After a really rough 10 days, NASCAR needed a win. They got it at Nashville. We’ll get into it, obviously.What else? We’ll unfortunately stay on the Kyle Busch beat today, because we have some new updates since we last spoke.We’ll also get to Dale Jr.’s last conversation with Busch and how it would’ve potentially blown minds across the sport, and did Austin Dillon intentionally wreck Brad Keselowski at Nashville?The footage ain’t great, but I’m not sure. You’ll see. We’ll figure it out together.Four tires, enough fuel to get us to Michigan, and maybe…

NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles! The New York Yankees’ bats came alive in an historic inning against the Athletics on Sunday.The Yankees piled on 13 runs in the third, following a rousing pep talk from Aaron Judge. The three-time American League MVP told his teammates that they needed to wake up after Athletics starter Jacob Lopez retired the first six batters he faced.”I just felt like we were a little asleep there that first two innings. I expect more out of the guys and I know they expect more of themselves. A couple of choice words there just to get it going. The boys responded,” Judge said in what could have been the understatement of the year.ZERO BS. JUST DAKICH. TAKE THE DON’T @ ME PODCAST ON THE ROAD. DOWNLOAD NOW! It started with a calamity of errors for the A’s.Lopez walked two batters after Anthony Volpe reached on a hit. He failed to cover first base when Paul Goldschmidt hit a grounder to the right side. Ben Rice, then, followed with a two-run double, followed by a Judge blooper and a Cody Bellinger RBI singleLopez was removed from the game after Bellinger’s at bat. Reliever Michael…

CLOVIS, Calif. – A man standing in line for the ice cream stand nudged his friend when AB Hernandez walked by.”Hey, that’s AB Hernandez,” he whispered to his friend on top of the ramparts at Veteran’s Memorial Stadium in Clovis, California.”I don’t know who that is,” the friend responded, before the other man filled him in. Hernandez was in between qualifying for events in the final round of the state championships in high jump, long jump and triple jump on Friday.Whispers, rumors and attention had become the norm for the well-known transgender athlete. Hernandez summoned national media hurricanes to two high school track seasons and a volleyball season in the span of one year.Daisy Gardner, a local pro-LGBTQ activist says she has known Hernandez and the athlete’s mother Nereyda Hernandez since 2024, when news about the trans athlete’s identity and participation in girls’ sports began to garner local attention.”I think the two of them have walked through fire. I don’t know anyone else who’s a high school kid who has been targeted by President Trump… I have seen death threats and threats, wishing physical injury upon AB,” Gardner told Fox News Digital.”Every single time, Nena and AB Hernandez brush it…

NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles! As a physician, former member of Congress, and former secretary of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, I have spent much of my career focused on policies that improve health outcomes. I have also seen the toll of smoking up close. I lost my father to what I often call “Lucky Strike lungs.” That experience has stayed with me — and it underscores a simple fact: smoking remains one of the nation’s most serious and persistent public health challenges.Yet in Washington, there is a growing habit of talking about smoking as if it were yesterday’s problem. It is not. Roughly 25 million American adults still smoke cigarettes, and far too many have been left out of the public health conversation. That is the central message of “The Forgotten Smoker,” a new white paper from Philip Morris International U.S. (PMI U.S.) that urges policymakers to confront a reality they too often overlook: progress has stalled for millions of Americans still at greatest risk.From a physician’s perspective, these Americans are not abstractions. They are patients, parents, workers, veterans and neighbors. Many have tried to quit more than once. Many know the risks…
