The Pentagon has privately cautioned several European capitals that their shipments of advanced weaponry may face significant delays, as the ongoing conflict with Iran rapidly exhausts American stockpiles.

According to reports from the Israeli daily Yedioth Ahronoth, Netanyahu instructed the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) to respond with significant power to ensure border security.

The first phase, currently underway, focuses on house listing and housing conditions. Over the next six months, millions of enumerators will knock on…

New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani issued a blistering critique of the escalating conflict with Iran on Tuesday, arguing that a full-scale war should be “opposed on every single ground.” In a candid discussion regarding the nation’s foreign policy trajectory, the Mayor linked the violence abroad to the financial struggles of citizens at home.
