TEHRAN, April 16. /TASS/. The Iranian armed forces can sink all US naval ships in the Persian Gulf, which are within range of the country’s missiles, Mohsen Rezaei, a member of Iran’s Expediency Council, said.

“An extension of the ceasefire is not in our interests at all. That’s my personal opinion. Pressure has to be increased. Our launchers are aimed at these ships at the moment, and we would sink them all. None would escape, ” he told Iran’s state broadcaster in an interview.

According to Rezaei, there are currently reasons to maintain the ceasefire and hold talks simultaneously. “However, it’s a military lull, not a permanent ceasefire. This is how the supreme leader describes it,” he added.

The United States and Israel launched a military operation against Iran on February 28. Major Iranian cities, including Tehran, were struck. Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps announced a retaliatory operation, targeting sites in Israel. US military bases in Bahrain, Jordan, Kuwait, Qatar, Saudi Arabia and the UAE were also hit.

SAN SALVADOR — Salvadoran President Nayib Bukele on Wednesday signed into law constitutional reforms to permit life prison sentences for people as young as 12, a contentious reform that follows other heavy-handed measures pushed through by the populist leader.

The change was passed last month by the Legislative Assembly, which is controlled by Bukele’s party, and would apply to people convicted of committing or acting as an accomplice to crimes including homicide, femicide, rape and gang membership. The measure was pushed forward by Bukele’s cabinet.

Previously, the maximum sentence in El Salvador was 60 years for adults and less for youths. The reforms slated to take effect April 26 would create new criminal courts to try cases. They also stipulate a mandatory review of life terms decades into the sentences, depending on the age of the convict and the gravity of their crimes.

International communities like Nigeria and Syria are experiencing seasons of bloodshed. Islamist militants are attacking churches, villages, and Christian neighborhoods while governments do little to stop them.

Ancient Christian communities that have survived for centuries now face extinction.

In parts of Nigeria, being a Christian can be a death sentence. During Easter week, Islamist gunmen unleashed a wave of terror on Christian communities, slaughtering more than 60 believers in villages, businesses, and churches—turning sacred days of celebration into unimaginable horror.

On Palm Sunday alone, armed militants stormed Angwan Rukuba, a predominantly Christian neighborhood in the city of Jos. That night, they fired on villagers, killing at least a dozen innocent people.

Rumours that Earth’s gravity suddenly disappeared for a few seconds have circulated widely on the Internet lately. This rumor is associated with 12 August 2026 and is based on an alleged link between Project Anchor and the temporary disappearance of Earth’s gravity. Although this might sound impressive, scientists have stated that this information is absolutely false. According to NASA and other relevant institutions, there is not a single scientific reason to believe in this conspiracy theory. It can be helpful to investigate the origin of this rumor and examine the nature of gravity.

What does the August 12 gravity theory actually claim

The statement was never made by a scientific organisation, nor was it backed up by any study in the field. The statement originated online, where creative content can easily attract the interest of netizens if it is bizarre or sensational enough. The case at hand had elements that sounded believable because of the inclusion of a supposed “leaked document” and an alleged “secret program” of NASA.As reported by The New York Post, there is also no record in history of any scientific venture named “Project Anchor.” There have been no documents authenticated for it, and no scientists or agencies have ever endorsed the idea. This is a classic example of viral misinformation in the age of the internet.

Of all the memorials in all the world…..

This isn’t about honoring the dead—it’s about legitimizing the wrong ones. Standing at a state monument in Algeria and praising those who died “for their people,” without distinguishing between freedom fighters and those who slaughtered Christians and Jews, is moral confusion at best and abdication at worst. In a place where the Church was nearly wiped out, that kind of gesture doesn’t signal peace—it signals that the suffering of Christians is secondary. A pope is supposed to bring clarity. This brings cover.

Pope Leo Visits Muslim Jihadist Memorial to Killers of Christians

By: Daniel Greenfield, April 16, 2026:

“They gave them up for the love of their own people.”

Imagine that Hamas had won on Oct 7 and the victims were Christians. That’s what happened in Algeria. Islamist and Marxist terrorists during the Algerian War waged a ruthless campaign against the non-Muslim population. Including Jews.

The atrocities by Muslim terrorists included the slitting of women’s throats and babies being murdered by having their heads smashed against walls. The massacres climaxed in the Oran Massacre in which De Gaulle’s corrupt regime refused to protect Christians and Jews from the Muslim mob.

The agency also observed a rise in operations at Yongbyon’s reprocessing unit and light-water reactor, as well as the activation of other facilities, Grossi told reporters.

Finland Convicts Christian MP and Bishop Over Biblical Marriage Pamphlet – Standing For Freedom

In a stunning 3-2 decision, Finland’s Supreme Court found Finnish Member of Parliament Päivi Räsänen and Lutheran Bishop Juhana Pohjola guilty of “hate speech” crimes for co-authoring a church pamphlet about sexual ethics and biblical marriage and ordered it “removed from public access and destroyed.”

The justices convicted the two evangelical Christians under a 2011 section of the Finnish criminal code titled “war crimes and crimes against humanity” because they had “made available and kept available to the public opinions that insult homosexuals as a group on the basis of their sexual orientation.”

At the same time, the court found that “the text forming the basis for the conviction did not contain incitement to violence or comparable threat-like fomenting of hatred.” Nonetheless, it sentenced Räsänen and Pohjola to pay criminal fines of several thousand Euros, barred them from accepting any help in paying their legal fees, and ordered the destruction of all copies of the 2004 church pamphlet, as well as the deletion or redaction of all “impugned statements” located online.
