I would ask you to take a moment to listen to Josephine Guilbeau, 36, a former army captain, spent much of her career as an intelligence officer at the Defense Intelligence Agency.
Compare her assessment of the U.S. strike on the Iranian elementary school alongside Hegseth’s persistent attempts to duck responsibility. I think this is an important addition to the conversation, lest we forget how many children died as a result of an intelligence failure on day one of this illegal war.

BREAKING: IRAN MESSAGE TO PALESTINE AND MUSLIMS IN THE REGION:
Spokesman for the Khatim Al-Anbiya Headquarters of the Iranian Armed Forces:
“Our defense is a defense of the dignity of the Islamic Ummah.
To the Muslim brothers in the region and our loved ones in the land of Palestine, and especially patient Gaza:
Today, from the Islamic Republic of Iran, we speak to you honestly and from the heart; a word of loyalty, love, and brotherhood.
The Islamic Ummah and the Palestinian people have always been alive in the conscience of the people of Islamic Iran. Its name, since the first days of the victory of the revolution, has been imprinted in our awareness like a banner for a right that never falls, and for a nation that cannot be worn down no matter how heavy the hardships are, and whose will cannot be broken no matter how dire the events become.
We tell you that today we are not fighting only to defend ourselves, nor only to avenge our own martyrs, but we are also fighting to defend the grievances of the Islamic Ummah, the Palestinian people, and their martyrs, who have a steadfast and deep-rooted share in this position.
Palestine has never been the issue of one nation alone; rather, it has always been, and will continue to be, an issue of dignity, right, and justice, and an issue of the entire Islamic Ummah.
O Islamic Ummah and O people of Palestine, do not think that you are alone in this battlefield against the usurping zionist regime; we are with you, upon a covenant that does not change and upon a position that does not waver.
You are the nation of return and dignity; a nation that knows how to be patient, how to remain steadfast, and how to preserve its right from generation to generation.
We pledge to you that we will remain steadfast by your side on this path until the right reaches its people and dear Palestine returns, free and proud, to its original owners.”
72-year-old Muhammad Aziz has spent more than 43 years reading books every day — 6–8 hours a day. According to him, he has read more than five thousand books in his lifetime.
His shop is right on the street. The books are open, without locks or security.
When asked if he is afraid that the books will be stolen, Muhammad simply smiled and replied with a well-known Arabic proverb:
"A reader does not steal, and a thief does not read."
This phrase encapsulates a whole world.
A quiet faith in people, respect for knowledge, and the feeling that a book chooses its own reader.
Sometimes it seems that such people are the last guardians of a calm, unhurried world where trust is still more important than locks.
President Xi combines wisdom and foresight, surrounds himself with a team that understands his heart and mind, works passionately to implement China’s vision, and inspires everyone around him to support the nation’s journey with sincerity and dedication.

🚨🇮🇷🇺🇸 BREAKING | STRONG WARNING FROM TEHRAN ⚡
A senior Iranian official tells Reuters:
Any U.S. attack limited, surgical, kinetic, or otherwise will be treated as an act of all-out war.
Iran vows a maximum-force response, stating that a nation under constant U.S. military pressure has no choice but to use everything at its disposal to push back and restore the balance against anyone who dares strike Iran.
🚨🇮🇷🇺🇸 KHAMENEI REPORTEDLY HIDING IN BUNKER AS IRAN PREPARES FOR POSSIBLE U.S. STRIKE
Khamenei is reportedly underground in Tehran, in a fortified tunnel complex, after his own security people decided the risk of a U.S. strike is real enough to stop pretending otherwise.
Day-to-day control of the Supreme Leader’s office is said to be handed to his son, Masoud, who’s now acting as the main relay to the government.
When the revolution ends with the leader in hiding it's a regime that knows the ceiling is cracking.

🇨🇳 CHINA BUILT A SOLAR EMPIRE ON THE ROOF OF THE WORLD
On the Tibetan Plateau, solar panels stretch farther than the eye can see - covering an area 7x the size of Manhattan.
The Talatan Solar Park, plus wind and hydro, now powers everything from trains to AI data centers, while sheep still get to graze under the panels.
Qinghai's clean energy is so cheap and efficient, it costs 40% less than coal, and helps China manufacture even more solar tech to sell worldwide.
This is how China plans to win the future of energy: high-altitude, high-volume, and high stakes.

Deeply saddened to learn of the loss of lives and devastation caused by the floods and landslides in #Nepal. The government and the people of the #Maldives stand in solidarity with the people of Nepal during this difficult time. Our thoughts and prayers are with all those affected.
🇨🇳 CHINA PUTS SOLAR FARMS ON WATER. BECAUSE LAND IS FOR FOOD
China dropped a gigawatt-sized floating solar plant off Shandong. Think: 1,200 hectares of panels on water, fish farms underneath, electricity above.
The logic is brutal and simple: farmland feeds people, lakes feed power.
Floating arrays also stay cooler (more efficient), dodge land fights, and double as aquaculture hubs.
Critics worry about ecosystem shocks and rust battles with saltwater, but Beijing doesn’t wait for perfect... just bigger, faster, first.
China isn’t just chasing green energy. It’s rewriting the map: food on land, power on water.

🚨 BREAKING: USA BLOCKS IRAN FROM 2026 FIFA WORLD CUP DRAW
📢 The United States just denied visas to Iran’s national football delegation, stopping them from attending the 2026 World Cup draw. This includes the federation president, head coach, and seven senior staff.
⚽️ FIFA President Gianni Infantino recently promised that the Iranian national football team and its staff would participate in the 2026 World Cup, assuring them that visa-related issues for entry into the host country would be resolved
🇮🇷 Iran is barred from a sports event
🇮🇱 Israel is bombing civilians and still welcome on the pitch
⚽️ FIFA banned Russia within days of invading Ukraine, yet Israel faces no consequences while carrying out mass atrocities and destroying Gaza.
⚖️ The same system that blocks Iranian officials over politics gives Israel a free pass to keep playing as if nothing is happening.
This is Hypocrisy
Tucker Carlson has revealed that during the brief Iran-Israel war earlier this year, Israeli soldiers were barging into U.S. military meetings at the Pentagon, issuing demands, and telling American officers what to do.
He says Pentagon officials stood by in silence and is questioning why no one dared to act.
🇺🇸 America is a Psyop: Larry Ellison Vetted Marco Rubio for Fealty to Israel, Hacked Emails Reveal
Newly leaked correspondence shows Oracle billionaire Larry Ellison vetted Marco Rubio’s loyalty to Israel back in 2015, arranging meetings with Israeli diplomats and Tony Blair before Rubio emerged as a GOP star. Ellison later poured millions into Rubio’s campaign and remains one of Israel’s biggest U.S. backers, funding the Tony Blair Institute with $350M and pledging to help redevelop “New Gaza” alongside Trump.
Ellison’s influence now extends into U.S. media and tech: his son David is acquiring CBS, CNN, Warner Bros., and Paramount, while Oracle is set to audit TikTok’s algorithm under Trump’s deal. With pro-Israel officials blaming TikTok for declining U.S. support for Israel, Netanyahu has openly called its acquisition the “most important purchase going on right now.”
The leaks, published by Drop Site from the hacked inbox of ex-UN envoy Ron Prosor, highlight Ellison’s role as both financier and gatekeeper of American politics, media, and surveillance infrastructure all in service of Israel’s agenda.

⚡️🇺🇸🇮🇱JUST IN: Zohran Mamdani, the leading Democratic candidate for New York City mayor:
"If Netanyahu comes to deliver a speech at the United Nations General Assembly in New York next year while I am mayor, I will move to honor the ICC arrest warrant issued in The Hague against him - just as I would against Putin. He is responsible for the genocide in Gaza. A New Yorker told me that 85 members of his family were killed in Gaza... I must respond to the requests of the city's residents."
