Iranian forces likely still have 70% of their pre-conflict ballistic missiles, 60% of their launchers and at least 40% of their drone stockpiles, according to fresh intelligence analysis. News of Tehran’s deadly remaining arsenal emerged as Iran warned it still has “cards to play” in mockery of Donald Trump ’s language amid fears it could trigger the Yemeni Houthis.

The rise in tension has heightened alarm in the region in the hours before the current two week ceasefire expires on Wednesday. If the Houthis become involved in the war there are increasing fears they could close the Bab el-Mandeb Strait, which has become a crucial alternative to the blockaded Hormuz passage.

Members of the Trump administration are leaking to reporters that the president is bluffing when he threatens Iran, but on Sunday, Trump threatened Iranian power plants.

Trump posted in part on Truth Social:

We’re offering a very fair and reasonable DEAL, and I hope they take it because, if they don’t, the United States is going to knock out every single Power Plant, and every single Bridge, in Iran. NO MORE MR. NICE GUY! They’ll come down fast, they’ll come down easy and, if they don’t take the DEAL, it will be my Honor to do what has to be done, which should have been done to Iran, by other Presidents, for the last 47 years.

Amnesty International said in a statement after Trump first threatened to commit war crimes, “International humanitarian law strictly prohibits direct attacks on civilians and civilian objects. The US President’s threat of extermination and irreparable destruction brazenly shreds core rules of international humanitarian law, with potentially catastrophic consequences for over 90 million people. It may constitute a threat to commit genocide, a crime defined by the Genocide Convention and by the Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court as committing one or more defined acts ’with intent to destroy, in whole or in part, a national, ethnical, racial or religious group, as such.’”

Many people were alarmed by an appalling viral video posted over the weekend of an Israeli soldier desecrating a statue of Christ Crucified in Southern Lebanon. Others, however disgusted by the act, argued that he was simply a “bad apple” in the Israel Defense Forces.

However, there may be more “bad apples” than originally thought, as footage of similar attacks on Christian holy sites have resurfaced in the wake of the alarming photograph.

The monastery, which has roots dating back to the 15th century, was razed by Israeli forces during the 2006 Lebanon War.

More recorded examples of IDF soldiers apparently acting inappropriately in and around holy sites have emerged online, lending credence to the idea that these incidents are not anomalous but rather represent a pattern of behavior.

Jury Indicts SPLC For Fraudulent Payments To Racist Groups– thefederalist.com

EXCERPT:

A federal grand jury indicted the far-left Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) on Tuesday for allegedly making fraudulent payments to racist groups, including the Ku Klux Klan (KKK).

“The SPLC is manufacturing racism to justify its existence,” Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche said in a statement announcing the charges. “Using donor money to allegedly profit off Klansmen cannot go unchecked. This Department of Justice will hold the SPLC and every other fraudulent organization operating with the same deceptive playbook accountable. No entity is above the law.”

According to a Justice Department press release, the SPLC — which has often put targets on the backs of nonviolent conservative organizations by falsely labeling them as “hate groups” — has been charged with 11 counts of “wire fraud, false statements to a federally insured bank, and conspiracy to commit concealment money laundering.” Per the presser, the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Middle District of Alabama Northern Division “filed two forfeiture actions to recover alleged proceeds of the organization’s fraud scheme.”

With security uncertain, many vessels have been forced to reroute, often taking longer journeys around the Cape of Good Hope instead of using shorter routes through the Middle East and Suez Canal.

These diversions come at a cost, including high fuel consumption and ultimately higher prices for consumers, Kazakos said.

“Shipping is a resilient industry that has been for centuries and will always be. We’re always going to find ways to improvise, adapt, overcome,” he added.

“However, we will very much like to see the opening of all the waterways … because that is the main preferred route, in order to maximise efficiency for the service we provide, and at the same time to be reliable to the customers we serve.”

The Tehran judiciary’s official news agency Mizan said Mehdi Farid had attempted to infect the internal network of a sensitive defence-related organisation on orders from Mossad officers.

According to Mizan, he provided access for people outside the organisation by repeatedly connecting equipment via USB.

Mizan said Farid, a former employee of Iran’s Atomic Energy Organisation from Arak, had provided the Israeli side with information including organisational structures, location of buildings, protective status and staff identity data. The name of the organisation and documents associated with the claims were not released.

Mizan claimed that during the judicial process, he “made a frank confession” to cooperating with Mossad. Human rights organisations have repeatedly warned about the lack of access to independent counsel and alleged forced confessions under duress in such cases.

SAN SALVADOR — Prosecutors in El Salvador opened a massive consolidated trial against nearly 500 alleged members of the MS-13 gang accused of tens of thousands of crimes including homicide, extortion and arms trafficking.

The joint trial, which opened Monday in San Salvador, is the latest in a practice that has been criticized by human rights groups as an infringement of the rights of the accused to defend themselves. Such trials form part of President Nayib Bukele’s iron fist approach against criminal groups in El Salvador, which has been under a state of emergency for four years to fight organized crime.

The 486 defendants are accused of being members of MS-13, or Mara Salvatrucha, and accused of ordering more than 47,000 crimes from 2012 to 2022, according to the Salvadoran government. The crimes also include femicide and enforced disappearances.

Appeals Court Upholds Texas Ten Commandments Law › American Greatness– amgreatness.com

EXCERPT:

A federal appeals court has narrowly upheld a Texas law requiring public school classrooms to display the Ten Commandments, delivering a closely divided ruling that reverses earlier lower-court decisions.

In a 9–8 decision, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit concluded that the policy does not violate constitutional limits on government involvement in religion. The court also found that the requirement does not interfere with parents’ authority over their children’s religious upbringing.

The majority opinion stressed that the law does not mandate religious instruction or compel students to adopt any beliefs. According to the ruling, the displays are passive in nature, and educators are not directed to promote or defend the content of the Ten Commandments in classroom discussions.

“Students are neither catechized on the Commandments nor taught to adopt them,” the ruling said. “Nor are teachers commanded to proselytize students who ask about the displays or contradict students who disagree with them.”

Top House Republican Warns Ilhan Omar That Her Financial Disclosure Revision Won’t Save Her– www.westernjournal.com

Republican House Majority Whip Tom Emmer on Tuesday criticized his fellow Minnesotan, Democratic Rep. Ilhan Omar, about her updated financial filing with the Ethics Committee.

“Ilhan Omar is even more clueless than I thought if she thinks this financial disclosure revision clears her of suspicion,” Emmer told Fox News.

Omar submitted new financial documents to the committee in hopes of avoiding a scandal. Emmer said that in doing so, however, she only raised further concerns among lawmakers.

“She can backtrack, obfuscate, and distract all she wants, but she’s made clear who she is: A fraud-enabling, racist antisemite who espouses anti-American rhetoric every chance she gets,” Emmer proclaimed.

“She should be held accountable to the fullest extent,” he continued. “My colleagues on the House Ethics Committee have my full backing for any and all investigations into Ilhan and her potential misdealings.”

“Baffling” new snake species in Myanmar looks like multiple species at once– www.sciencedaily.com

Identifying a new species is not always straightforward. Scientists usually rely on physical traits that separate one species from another, but in nature those differences do not always fall into neat categories. Sometimes two different species look almost identical. These are called cryptic species. In other cases, a single species can vary so much in appearance that it seems like several different species instead. The challenge becomes even greater when both patterns show up at the same time.

Herpetologist Dr. Chan Kin Onn (previously at the Lee Kong Chian Natural History Museum, Singapore, now with the University of Kansas Biodiversity Institute and Natural History Museum, USA) led research on a pit viper from Myanmar that seemed to be both similar to and distinct from its closest relatives. The work was published in the open access journal ZooKeys, building on an earlier genomic study in Systematic Biology that had already indicated the snakes represented a separate evolutionary lineage.

“Asian pit vipers of the genus Trimeresurus are notoriously difficult to tell apart, because they run the gamut of morphological variation. Some groups contain multiple species that look alike, while others may look very different but are actually the same species,” they say.

President Trump says the war with Iran could be over soon. The regime, however, is unlikely to give up its apocalyptic jihad against Israel and the West, and a far greater threat may lie ahead.

One aspect of U.S. and Israeli strikes on Iran may have backfired in the worst possible way. In taking out the old guard of calculating, pragmatic leaders, they replaced them with a new generation of fiery young Islamic militants.

These are hardcore “Twelver” Shia Muslims, utterly devoted to their radical religion and driven by a singular, apocalyptic belief. They are not interested in negotiation or coexistence.

Instead, they are actively preparing for the ultimate end-times confrontation: a global showdown that would summon the 12th Imam or Mahdi, their long-awaited messianic savior.

“Bottom line is the Mahdi is an eschatological mystical figure who is supposed to be ushered in at the End Times and to bring justice and goodness,” said Middle East historian and author Raymond Ibrahim.

A new experimental hair-loss treatment has drawn global attention after researchers reported encouraging early results from a plant-based scalp serum. Scientists in Taipei, led by Dr Tsong Min Chang of Schweitzer Biotech Company, found that volunteers using the formula for eight weeks showed measurable improvements in hair density and thickness compared with a placebo group. The serum combines plant-derived compounds from Centella asiatica with ingredients already used in cosmetic and scalp-care products. While the findings are still preliminary and require larger independent trials, the study has raised interest because many current hair-loss treatments can take months to show results and do not work equally well for every user.

Mayor Zohran Mamdani is facing growing criticism from civil rights leaders over his response to a viral video showing NYPD officers beating a man during a mistaken identity arrest.

The backlash intensified this week after the Rev. Kevin McCall, a prominent Brooklyn clergy leader, said Mamdani had not done enough in the days since the April 14 incident.

“All he’s doing is smiling and not getting results,” McCall said after meeting Monday with NYPD Commissioner Jessica Tisch.

McCall said Tisch acknowledged problems with Brooklyn North Narcotics, telling him that “the units have gone rogue,” according to a report by 1010 WINS.

The meeting came after an eight-minute video circulated online showing a pair of plainclothes detectives punching and kicking a man, later identified as Timothy Brown, inside a Brooklyn liquor store last week.

The two giant super PACs closely tied to Republican leaders in the House and Senate are relying on billionaire donors, the fossil fuel industry, cryptocurrency firms, and Big Tobacco to bankroll their defense of Congress.

Around half of the combined haul of the Senate Leadership Fund (SLF) and the Congressional Leadership Fund (CLF) has come from billionaires—at least $133.5 million—according to a Sludge analysis of Federal Election Commission data from the start of 2025 through March 2026. The billionaires include reclusive President Trump megadonor Timothy Mellon, casino mogul Steve Wynn, Republican megadonors Christopher and Jude Reyes, poultry magnate Ronald Cameron, and cryptocurrency tycoons the Winklevoss twins. It’s possible that more billionaires have donated to the SLF and CLF through their “dark money” affiliates, which hide the names of donors from the public.

The SLF and CLF were the top-spending outside groups nationwide in the 2022 midterms—though this time around, many more super PACs are loaded up with record amounts of cash to spend. The groups, aligned with Senate Majority Leader John Thune (S.D.) and House Speaker Mike Johnson (La.), spend heavily on attack ads against Democrats and independent expenditures supporting Republicans each cycle.
