JUST NOW: IRGC Chief Ahmad Vahidi, who vowed yesterday to turn the Gulf of Oman into a graveyard for the U.S. Navy and end Israel’s existence, has been killed in Israeli airstrikes today.

Straits of Hormuz are named after Ahura Mazda from Zoroastrianism

Rubio adeptly explains the rationale for striking Iran. More of this please.

.@SecRubio: "We remain the world’s sole global superpower—the most powerful country on earth. We have the largest economy, we have the most formidable and powerful military ever known to man, by the way. Our dollar remains that reserve currency of the world. Our language is used extensively throughout the world... but all of this means very little if that power is not used to protect the people who built it."

Putting America First means protecting our country, people, and way of life.  Leveraging counterterrorism tools and global partnerships to deter the threat of far-left terrorism before it metastasizes is one of the ways we do that. dailywire.com/news/exclusive…

US carries out strikes in Iran, Trump threatens that Tehran will 'either agree to a deal or the US will have to finish the job' Meanwhile, IRGC says it 'targeted a US base in response to an attack near Bandar Abbas' @criticastery, member, Centre for Iranian Studies, joins @BislaDiksha for perspective

PRESIDENT TRUMP: People understand that Iran cannot have a nuclear weapon. I’m doing this for the world, not just for us.

To Trump the Iran operation may be in service to God. That’s an astounding suggestion, but it could also be true. After all, it is just and good to destroy butchers who slaughter their own people. x.com/WesternJournalX/status…

“Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends.” May we always live worthy of their sacrifice, honor their memory, and never forget the brave Americans who paid the ultimate price.

“A most memorable motor drive to Little Gidding” On this day, 25th May 1936, Eliot made his only visit to Little Gidding, and took this snapshot. He wrote to Emily Hale next day: "Very few people ever get there; to me it had a very strong atmosphere of holiness”

Rarely seen photo of the late Queen enjoying a break from solving a jigsaw puzzle. 1967. The Queen had the pastimes of the generation before her: the Edwardian age. She played Patience (Solitaire) and solved jigsaw puzzles for hours. I've never heard of her playing bridge, tho'.

SECRETARY RUBIO: Iran would rather invest in the rapists and murderers of Hamas than their own people. The BBC and these other media outlets should be covering how evil these people are in Iran and the damage they’ve done to people all over the world.

SECRETARY RUBIO: Everything you do as a country needs to be in your national interest. That includes immigration policy. The U.S. is a welcoming country on immigration, but it has to be a process that is adjusted in every era to the realities of the modern times we live in.

SECRETARY RUBIO: When this conflict began with Iran, the goals were outlined: 1. Destroy their navy 2. Reduce their ability to launch ballistic missiles 3. Damage their defense industrial base Those objectives were achieved.

You can count on the regime in Tehran to try humiliating President Trump at every step over the next 30–60 days. Many Democrats won’t be able to resist joining in either. Neither side seems to understand that repeated humiliation campaigns against Trump often produce the opposite of the intended result.

🚨 WOW! Sec. Marco Rubio just went full RED PILL MODE in India "We've had a migratory crisis in the United States...EVERYTHING that you do as a country needs to be in your national interest, and that INCLUDES your immigration policy!" "The United States, I believe, is the most welcoming country in the world on immigration. Every single year, a million people roughly become permanent residents of the United States and contribute greatly." "My parents entered the United States as permanent residents in 1956 from Cuba, and so it's a process that's enriched us. But it has to be a process that's adjusted in every era to the realities of the modern times in which you live." 🇺🇸

You cannot trust #Iran on anything. Except shooting, raping, torturing or executing #Iranians. And you don’t have to be an Iranist to know that. But it helps. #IranMassacre‌ #IranRevolution2026‌

#Indians like @sidhant, or other orientals, can’t afford to talk, object or query about ‘racism’. Trust me, I’m an orientalist.

#Iran shoots and/or rapes its nurses too. And all because they dare to tend to protestors. #IranRevolution2026‌ #IranMassacre‌

It’s called robust #freespeech and Indians, hailing from from the world’s largest democracy ought know that the right to offend, even be downright disparaging or ‘racist’, is too precious to be forfeited or banned. Unfazed #Indians do this daily so why raise the bar for #Americans?
