Assassinations, Jihad Attacks On U.S. Officials – Including Trump, Vance, Rubio, Hegseth And Their Families - Elon Musk And His Companies, U.S. Military, Microsoft, And Targeting Jews In America And Europe: 'There Are No Red Lines.' Al-Awlaki urged Muslims to revive the "tradition of assassinations," describing it as the "greatest form of Jihad today." He said the targets should be the "leaders of apostasy," whom he labeled "Jewish Arabs," specifically naming the leaders of Egypt, Jordan, and the Gulf states.
He appealed directly to military personnel in Arab countries, calling on them to take action. He said Arab pilots should strike "the Jews," U.S. military bases in the region, and American aircraft carriers. At the very least, he said, they should attack the palaces of Arab leaders, describing these as the "initial steps" that must be taken.
Al-Awlaki claimed there are 4.5 million Muslims in the United States and said that they should carry out acts of retaliation without hesitation, stating: "Do not consult anyone about killing infidel Americans." Speaking over images of Manhattan skyscrapers, he said that the list of targets should be "effective," and declared: "There are no red lines."

A federal judge has temporarily blocked President Trump’s ban on Harvard’s international students, siding with the university's claims of illegal retaliation and violation of due process. Judge Allison Burroughs issued a restraining order, arguing the move could Strip Harvard of its global identity. The order targeted only Harvard, with the White House accusing it of links to foreign adversaries. As tensions rise, the courtroom becomes the battleground in a growing fight over academic freedom and immigration policy in post-Trump America.

President Trump has signed an order restricting foreign student visas, directly targeting Harvard amid heightened tensions with elite U.S. universities. The White House accuses Harvard of harboring foreign nationals “who do not love our country,” citing alleged ties to China and involvement in antisemitic incidents. Harvard calls the move “illegal” and “retaliatory,” promising to defend its students and First Amendment rights in court. Critics say this is a politically motivated attack on a top American institution, intensifying the battle between the administration and academia.

During a press briefing, White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt criticized the BBC for its reporting on an alleged Israeli tank strike near an aid center in Rafah. Leavitt accused the outlet of relying too heavily on Hamas claims and pointed to several changing headlines as evidence of misinformation. The administration says it is verifying facts independently, suggesting the BBC prematurely blamed Israel. The clash reignites debates over media credibility, Middle East coverage, and the challenge of reporting from conflict zones.

Harvard University President Alan Garber took a pointed jab at Donald Trump during his commencement address to the Class of 2025, winning a standing ovation after praising students “from around the world.” The remark came just days after the Trump administration attempted to revoke Harvard’s certification to admit international students and canceled $100 million in federal contracts. Garber’s subtle but sharp dig underscored Harvard’s defiance amid growing political hostility and reaffirmed the university’s commitment to global inclusion and academic freedom.

Rahul Gandhi has once again resorted to Election Fraud Claims to cast doubt on India's electoral system. From raising questions on EVMs to now alleging "match-fixing" in Maharashtra, his narrative of Election Fraud Claims has no evidence. Devendra Fadnavis, Eknath Shinde, and JP Nadda have all slammed these Election Fraud Claims, calling them an insult to the people’s verdict. The Election Commission, too, has dismissed these charges as unfounded and misleading. Repeating Election Fraud Claims after every defeat weakens democracy and insults honest voters. It's time to reject fake narratives and trust the electoral process.

Israel-Iran War: As missile exchanges intensify between Israel and Iran, European leaders are pressing Donald Trump to intervene and push for a ceasefire. Despite rising casualties, Trump offered vague optimism, predicting “peace soon” and echoing his past claims of resolving major wars swiftly. With nuclear talks with Iran now canceled following Israel’s assault, pressure mounts on Trump to influence Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. Before heading to the G7 summit, Trump remarked, “Sometimes they have to fight it out,” leaving the path to peace uncertain and allies frustrated.

According to Reuters, Donald Trump blocked an Israeli plan to assassinate Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Khamenei. U.S. officials revealed Israel informed Washington of a strike opportunity, but Trump rejected the idea, insisting no action unless Americans were killed. Trump warned Iran of the “full might” of U.S. forces if provoked, and suggested diplomacy between Israel and Iran is still possible. Despite escalating tensions, Trump claims he “never got credit” for past peace deals. Netanyahu declined to comment, as Iran threatened to strike Western bases over interference.
