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

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

BREAKING: Ukraine Confirms Loss of Another U.S.-made F-16 Fighting Falcon During Combat Operations

26-year-old pilot Pavlo Ivanov was tragically killed in the mission, making this the second confirmed F-16 loss in the Ukraine war. However, a major question remains: Who shot it down — Russia or Ukraine itself? President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has demanded a full military report into the incident, as speculation grows over whether this was enemy fire or another deadly case of friendly fire. Russian military blogs claim the jet was downed by a surface-to-air missile (SAM), but Kyiv has not confirmed the cause. With rising tensions, high-risk air missions, and increasing losses, the F-16 saga raises urgent questions about Ukraine's air defense coordination and battlefield clarity. #F16Down #UkraineWar #PilotKilled #BreakingNews #UkraineConflict #RussiaUkraine #FriendlyFire #UkraineAirForce #PavloIvanov #Zelenskyy #WarInUkraine #F16Crash #NATOJets #MilitaryNews #EasternUkraine #UkraineDefense #USJetsInUkraine #AirCombat Also Read Pakistan Air force F-16 crashes in Islamabad during parade day rehearsal :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/pakistan-air-force-f-16-crashes-in-islamabad-during-parade-day-rehearsal-3048159.html?ref=DMDesc Abhinandan Varthamanan: This year, that year, the dog fight which took down a Pak F-16 :: https://www.oneindia.com/india/abhinandan-varthamanan-this-year-that-year-the-dog-fight-which-took-down-a-pak-f-16-3040561.html?ref=DMDesc Pakistan Air Force fighters intercept Kabul bound Spice Jet plane, escort out of its airspace :: https://www.oneindia.com/india/pakistan-air-force-fighters-intercept-kabul-bound-spice-jet-escort-out-of-airspace-2963140.html?ref=DMDesc ~PR.274~ED.346~HT.336~GR.124~
