That’s what we’re dealing with,” he said. “… The only thing is, I’ve left instructions — if anything happens, to just literally bomb them at levels that they’ve never seen before.” Asked about recent reports that Israel this week flagged intel of a plot to take out the US president, Trump indicated there was no fresh plan from Iran — but said Tehran has wanted him dead for years. “No, no. Israel came up with nothing. No, no,” he said. “I’ve been No. 1 [on Iran’s kill list] for a long time, and it’s the way life is, you know.” Qatari negotiators traveled to Iran for US-coordinated de-escalation talks: source Iran's foreign minister, Abbas Araghchi welcomes Qatari Prime Mnister Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdulrahman al-Thani ahead of their meeting in Tehran on August 26, 2024.

"Qatari negotiators have travelled to Iran, in coordination with the U.S., to meet with Iranian officials in an effort to de-escalate the situation and create the conditions for negotiations to resume," a source with knowledge of the situation told Fox News senior foreign correspondent Trey Yingst. IEA: US-Iran Escalation Could Threaten 2027 Oil Surplus A recent escalation of hostilities between the U.S. and Iran could upend the International Energy Agency's forecast of a significant oil market surplus next year, it said on Friday, as global supply jumped in June when the Strait of Hormuz reopened but still lagged prewar levels. Global oil markets received some respite last month as a peace agreement between the U.S. and Iran facilitated the opening of the strait, the effective closure of which had taken out as much as 14 million barrels per day (bpd) of crude flows during the peak of the largest oil supply crisis in history. The IEA said global oil supply rose by 4.1 million bpd in June but remained 9.4 million bpd below prewar levels.
Syria deal gives Trump potential route to bypass Hormuz When Donald Trump sat down with Syria’s president this week, he was not in a good mood. Just hours earlier, the Iranian “scum” – as the US president called them – had blown their chance at peace, and the ceasefire was annulled after Tehran fired at vessels in the Strait of Hormuz. But Ahmed al-Sharaa, who once had a $10m (£7.5m) US bounty on his head, has become a firm favourite, and a potential solution to the US president’s greatest problem: finding a way to loosen Tehran’s chokehold on a key conduit for shipments of gas and oil. In Mr Trump’s eyes, he is “fantastic” and has done a “great job” bringing together a country that was “a real mess, very disjointed”. Trump Refuses to Sign Housing Bill President Donald Trump on Friday said he will not sign the bipartisan housing bill "in PROTEST over the fact that the United States Senate is not capable of passing THE SAVE AMERICA ACT." Because Trump has neither signed nor vetoed the bill within the Constitution's 10-day review period, excluding Sundays, the legislation is expected to become law automatically Friday. In a Truth Social post, Trump doubled down on his opposition to the 21st Century ROAD to Housing Act, arguing that election integrity legislation should take priority over the housing measure, which passed Congress with overwhelming bipartisan support. "I will not sign the Housing Bill, which has been fully approved by Congress and sent to the White House," Trump wrote, adding that the SAVE America Act enjoys overwhelming support among Republicans and would require voter photo identification and proof of citizenship and sharply limit mail-in voting except for military personnel, disabled voters, those who are ill, and travelers. Marco Rubio steps in after Tim Walz pardoned illegal alien child rapist before deportation Secretary of State Marco Rubio told Fox News Digital that Americans shouldn't have to live in fear of illegal alien criminals An illegal alien child rapist from Laos who was set for deportation until Democratic Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz and the State Board of Pardons granted him clemency has been removed from the United States, Secretary of State Marco Rubio told Fox News Digital. Rubio stepped in to terminate Tue Lue Vang's legal status in the U.S. and ensure that Walz's actions would not create roadblocks for the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) removing him from the country. "Just weeks ago, a foreign child rapist was freed to once again endanger America's children after receiving a pardon from Minnesota Governor Tim Walz," Rubio said. "Tue Lue Vang admitted to committing heinous crimes against a 10-year-old girl in Minnesota. He attempted to pay his victim for her silence and dismissed his acts of child abuse as a 'minor thing.'" Tyler Robinson hearing: Top moments from explosive Lance Twiggs interview played in court Twiggs told prosecutors Robinson began engraving bullets with a Dremel tool a month before the Turning Point USA shooting The former lover of Charlie Kirk’s accused assassin told Utah prosecutors that the suspected killer "wishes he hadn't done it," according to a video played in court Thursday. "I just asked him in person if what he said was true the night before, and he said it was, started crying a little bit and said he wishes he hadn't done it," Lance Twiggs told investigators in a video interview. The night before, according to text messages prosecutors displayed later, Robinson allegedly took credit for Kirk's shooting in a conversation with Twiggs. Scope of SPLC's deeply embedded influence training teachers nationwide uncovered in sweeping report Defending Education found the SPLC's Social Justice Standards in required courses and student-teacher evaluations in colleges nationwide A new report is shining a spotlight on the Southern Poverty Law Center's influence in American colleges, revealing its educational materials are being used to train future K-12 teachers in 38 states as Congress and federal investigators intensify their focus on the organization. According to a report from Defending Education, an education watchdog group that the SPLC once labeled an "extremist" group, researchers examined 100 colleges of education and uncovered SPLC's Learning for Justice, formerly Teaching Tolerance, and the group's Social Justice Standards embedded into teacher preparation programs nationwide. The report said the organization's Social Justice Standards are incorporated into teacher preparation programs that include "Equity, Access, and Anti-bias Education," "Teaching for Social Justice," "Critical Consciousness" and "Socially Just Teachers." New 911 audio captures neighbors warning of 'full-out war' before police were attacked in block party chaos North Charleston residents reported gunfire and crowds of 500 before officers were attacked in South Carolina Newly released 911 calls capture North Charleston, South Carolina, residents expressing fear as they reported armed teens, gunfire and what one caller described as a "full-out war" before police were assaulted during a Fourth of July block party. Fox News Digital obtained recordings of the calls from Charleston County Dispatch, which reveal multiple residents calling dispatchers shortly before 8:30 p.m. as a city-permitted Fourth of July block party in North Charleston's Chicora-Cherokee neighborhood began spiraling out of control. Callers reported people openly carrying guns, hearing repeated gunfire and fearing for their safety as officers struggled to disperse hundreds of attendees before multiple officers were assaulted, and six people were later charged. King Charles 'fed up' with Prince Harry drama as reunion with grandchildren hangs in balance: expert King Charles wants to see his Montecito grandchildren but insists any visit must be strictly private and properly planned King Charles III is said to be "fed up" with the drama that continues to follow his estranged son. The claim comes from British broadcaster and photographer Helena Chard following The Mirror's report that the Duke of Sussex is "frantically" trying to secure private security for his wife, Meghan Markle, and their two young children so they can travel to the U.K. "Of course, grandfather Charles wants to see his Montecito grandchildren," said Chard. "He just does not want the Sussex drama. King Charles is fed up — fed up with the rolling media briefings, the last-minute changes of plan, the security fight being litigated in public and in court. Report: New Air Force One Lacks Key Defenses The new Air Force One lacks the same defensive countermeasures of its predecessor, according to reports. The new jet, a Boeing 747-8 donated by Qatar and rushed into service this year, doesn't include some of the advanced defensive systems carried by the aging presidential aircraft it is temporarily replacing, raising questions about security as tensions with Iran remain high, The New York Times reported. The Times and CBS News reported that the Secret Service urged Trump to leave Turkey on Wednesday aboard the older Air Force One rather than the newly retrofitted jet following the NATO summit.
Trump calls terrorist Iranian a ‘cancer.’ Is he finally the one to remove it? President warned any new Iranian attack would trigger a devastating military response By Erfan Fard
President Donald Trump’s remarks on the sidelines of the NATO Summit in Ankara, Turkey, may represent one of the most consequential shifts in America’s strategic language toward the Islamic Republic of Iran since the 1979 revolution. By warning that any new Iranian attack would trigger a far more devastating response — and by describing the regime as a "cancer" that must be removed — Trump signaled something that goes beyond conventional political rhetoric. In the language of national security, such terminology often reflects a fundamental change in how a threat is defined. For more than four decades, U.S. policy toward the Islamic Republic has centered on containment and deterrence. The underlying assumption was that Tehran’s behavior could be influenced, constrained or made more costly. Trump’s remarks suggest a different premise: the issue is no longer merely the regime’s behavior, but the system itself. The objective is no longer to manage the crisis, but to eliminate its source — raising once again the prospect of regime change as a strategic outcome. What the pessimists just don’t understand about America’s greatness By New York Post Editorial Board
In a slight twist on other 250th-anniversary polls about declining faith in the American dream, a Wall Street Journal/ NORC survey shows dropping confidence in both capitalism and democracy — with, once again, support steadily dropping, generation after generation. We credit the decades-long progressive project of smearing the most free and successful nation ever, with perhaps a touch of social-media-fostered delusions about how tough life is for twentysomethings today. Yet, as it happens, social media right now can point you to the truth — all those World Cup visitors amazed at experiencing the real America, with even Brits admitting they were wrong. Americans’ pessimism, in short, is significantly a result of limited information. E.g., European and American media prefer to obscure some pretty important facts, such as how Europe’s GDP grew just 13.5% from 2008 to 2023 while US GDP nearly doubled — and America continues to outgrow the competition. |
