US' WW 3 Preps? Trump Sends 3K+ Bombs to Israel as Iran Threatens to Flatten All US Military Bases

The U.S. has approved a major arms shipment to Israel, including 3,000 bombs, signaling preparation not just for Gaza, but possibly a strike on Iran. Israeli officials confirmed that these munitions will enhance Air Force readiness for large-scale operations. While the Gaza offensive takes global attention, analysts warn the real showdown may be brewing with Tehran. This deal, once frozen under Biden, was fast-tracked by Trump. Experts say the munitions can also target hardened Iranian facilities—raising fresh concerns about regional escalation and U.S. involvement in Israel-Iran tensions. #IsraelIran #USWeaponsDeal #GazaOffensive #TrumpReturns #MiddleEastTensions #IDF #HellfireMissiles #USIsraelAlliance #IranStrike #AirForceReady #PentagonDeal #BidenFreeze #MilitaryEscalation #TehranTarget #GazaCover #USMunitions #DefenseContractors #LockheedMartin #Boeing #L3Harris ~ED.346~HT.336~

Trump Freezes $2bn Harvard Funding After University Defies White House Antisemitism Demands [Video]

Trump Freezes $2bn Harvard Funding After University Defies White House Antisemitism Demands

President Trump has frozen over $2.2 billion in federal funding to Harvard University after it rejected White House demands targeting antisemitism on campus. The university refused sweeping changes that included federal oversight of governance, hiring, and admissions. Harvard's president argued the demands violated its independence and constitutional rights. The Biden-era push to enforce federal control through funding threatens academic autonomy. Harvard is the first to resist—while others like Columbia have already complied under pressure. Lawsuits are mounting as campus arrests intensify over pro-Palestinian protests nationwide. #Trump #Harvard #CampusProtests #Antisemitism #FederalFunding #AcademicFreedom #DEI #FreeSpeech #ColumbiaUniversity #GazaProtests #WhiteHouse #StudentRights #IsraelHamas #DiversityDebate #USPolitics #EducationNews #AlanGarber #UniversityFunding #CampusCrackdown #FirstAmendment
