U.S. CENTCOM strikes Iranian drone sites for the second time this week. Four drones shot down. A fifth launch site destroyed before it fired. Iran calls it a ceasefire breach. America calls it consequences. The drone war is not going Tehran's way — and CENTCOM is making that crystal clear.
Iranian leadership fails to offer any reasonable proposal under mounting Iran Hormuz Pressure. President Trump warns time is running out as Tehran reviews the latest U.S. ceasefire offer. Iran offers zero concessions on its nuclear program or Strait of Hormuz control, raising concerns for regional stability and global energy security.
Israel killed Izz al-Din al-Haddad — the last October 7 architect still operating in Gaza. The IDF precision strike hit Gaza City's Rimal neighborhood on May 15, 2026. He planned the 2023 massacre, managed hostages as human shields, and survived years of pursuit. Justice finally came. Israel settles every account.
President Donald Trump has rejected Iran's latest diplomatic offer as totally unacceptable. The era of weak appeasement is over. Tehran wants lifted sanctions and full control over the Strait of Hormuz in exchange for vague promises. Real peace requires overwhelming strength, not rewarding a regime that sponsors global terrorism.
Recent U.S. airstrikes have crippled Iranian proxy networks, signaling a massive shift in Middle East Deterrence. By systematically destroying advanced military infrastructure, America First policies prove that peace through strength is the only language regimes understand.

Trump's Project Freedom launches Monday — U.S. warships guide neutral ships through mine-free Strait of Hormuz corridors. Iran blocked global oil. America is reopening it. Deterrence works.
The UAE has issued a sharp warning that Iran cannot be trusted to honor any agreement regarding the Strait of Hormuz. Senior adviser Anwar Gargash emphasized that only international law and decisive strength can secure freedom of navigation through this vital waterway, urging Gulf neighbors to abandon hesitation.
The Hormuz blockade threatens more than a temporary oil shock. As gas injection stops in aging Gulf wells, water, wax and asphaltenes can permanently damage output. Strikes on South Pars and Ras Laffan deepen fears of lost capacity, higher LNG costs and years of elevated energy prices. Markets may face a long, costly supply reset.
Hegseth Fires Back at Congress: Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth made his first congressional appearance since the Iran war began, testifying nearly six hours before the House Armed Services Committee. His message was clear and unapologetic — Iran cannot have a nuclear bomb. Period.
Brent crude surged past $119.50 a barrel as the Strait of Hormuz blockade enters its second month, with Trump rejecting Iran's offer to reopen as a stalling tactic. Kpler data shows Tehran has just 12-22 days before forced well shutdowns trigger permanent infrastructure damage. The pressure is mounting fast.
OPEC just suffered a massive blow as the United Arab Emirates—its third-largest producer—walked out, choosing alliance with the U.S. and Israel over cartel loyalty after weeks of Iranian missile attacks.
