JD Vance honors fallen soldier killed in Iran

JD Vance oversaw the dignified transfer of the seventh US service member to die in the Iran war just hours after Donald Trump admitted his vice president was 'less enthusiastic' about the ongoing conflict. Vance was at Dover Air Force Base in Delaware for Army Sgt Benjamin N Pennington, 26, of Glendale, Kentucky who was killed during an attack on the Prince Sultan Air Base, Saudi Arabia . Pete Hegseth and Vance saluted alongside high ranking military officials as the transfer case draped with the American flag was carried from the aircraft and into an awaiting vehicle. Earlier Monday, Trump revealed that Vance was 'philosophically a little bit different than me' at the outset of the war in Iran even as he dismissed the notion of a disagreement between the two.

Trump declares intense war with Iran was won during Kentucky rally

Donald Trump declared that the US had won the war with Iran during a rally in Kentucky on Wednesday. On the 12th day of nonstop bombings in the Middle East, the President insisted that it was actually already over. 'It's only good if you win,' Trump said of the war. 'And we've won.' 'You know, you never like to say too early 'you won.' We won… In the first hour it was over,' he said at a rally in Kentucky. Trump's statements came mere hours after Israel said missiles were launched from Iran towards its territory. Al Jazeera additionally reported that 'Iran has launched nine ballistic missiles and a number of drones against Qatar' per the 'Gulf nation’s Defence Ministry.'

Leavitt demands ABC retract report on potential Iran drone threat to California

White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt is demanding the correction of a report warning of a potentially imminent Iranian attack on California . ABC News reported on Wednesday that Iran wanted to use drones to attack California if it were ever hit by US military strikes. The bulletin went out in an FBI alert last month to its Joint Terrorism Task Force members. 'Iran allegedly aspired to conduct a surprise attack using unmanned aerial vehicles from an unidentified vessel off the coast of the United State homeland, specifically against unspecified targets in California, in the event that the US conducted strikes against Iran,' an FBI alert obtained by ABC News said. The report prompted a rush of concerning headlines about California facing a wartime threat, but neither the White House nor the FBI responded at the time.

Trump addresses reports of potential Iranian sleeper cells in US

Donald Trump has addressed reports of potential Iranian sleeper cells in the United States and a possible drone attack revenge plot that would target California. Fears of possible cells came after encrypted communications, believed to have come from inside Iran and intercepted by the US, were sent as an 'operational trigger' for 'sleeper assets' on Monday. Those worries were further stoked Wednesday, as the FBI alerted California law enforcement to potential Iranian drone strikes on the West Coast in retaliation for the US war against Iran. The president, speaking to reporters upon arrival at Joint Base Andrews following a rally-style event in Kentucky, said that federal law enforcement was probing the drone threat. 'It's being investigated. You have a lot of things happening and all we can do is take them as they come,' he said.

Trump deploys tactic to gauge who’s more popular to be his successor

President Donald Trump is deploying an unusual tactic to gauge who is more popular ahead of the race to be his successor in 2028 - Vice President JD Vance or Secretary of State Marco Rubio. Trump asked a room of donors at his Mar-a-Lago estate for their thoughts on his top two lieutenants one day after he launched a war on Iran. It was not the first time Trump had quizzed his inner circle like this before. 'What do you think of JD Vance and Marco Rubio?' the President asked during a speech, sources in the room told the Wall Street Journal.

Fury over GOP senator’s latest Iran remarks

South Carolina Republican Senator Lindsey Graham has sparked immense backlash with his latest comments about escalating tensions over the US war with Iran. During an appearance on Fox News' show Hannity, Graham claimed that when he goes 'back to South Carolina, I'm asking them to send their sons and daughters over to the Middle East.' That line has created mayhem, as President Trump's bombing of Iran last month is highly unpopular with the American public, with both Democrats and Republicans alike. Eight American service members have already been killed in the conflict. The latest numbers also reveal that at least 140 troops have been injured.

Comer claims Trump DOJ shut down probe into Epstein’s Zorro Ranch

The lead Jeffrey Epstein investigator in Congress claimed on Tuesday that Donald Trump's Department of Justice failed when it ended a probe into the [sexual] offender's New Mexico ranch. During the President's first term, in 2019, New Mexico state authorities were investigating Epstein's Zorro Ranch, a remote 30,000-square-foot mansion, surrounded by sprawling grasslands . However, Trump's Justice Department took over the case from the local investigators and shut down their investigation. Epstein died that year of what the government claims was a suicide while in his jail cell awaiting his federal [sexual] trafficking trial .

Democrat Shawn Harris has advanced to a runoff in Georgia's 14th Congressional District, where he'll face Clayton Fuller, President Donald Trump's pick to replace his nemesis, according to the Associated Press.

He also touted a 'tough but compassionate immigration policy,' during his campaign.

Report: Trump’s sons face corruption accusations over drone investment

Donald Trump's sons are facing corruption accusations after investing in a drone start-up competing for Pentagon contracts. Don Jr . and Eric Trump have poured money into Powerus, a Florida-based defense start-up competing for Pentagon drone contracts, the Wall Street Journal reported. The company, formed in 2025, is competing for a slice of the Pentagon's $1.1 billion Drone Dominance initiative and is merging with a publicly traded golf company to list on the NASDAQ. The Pentagon's push to acquire its own drone fleet has been thrown into sharp focus by Iran's battlefield deployment of Shahed drones costing approximately $25,000 per unit, as the US burns through missile stockpiles priced at up to $13 million each.

Hegseth snaps at reporter when pressed on Trump’s Iran war timeline

Secretary of War Pete Hegseth had no patience for reporters asking about the timeline for the US war with Iran . President Donald Trump told the Daily Mail on Sunday that he expected the conflict to last for four weeks or less. Hegseth refused to confirm that timeline or provide any others. He insisted that, unlike previous administrations, this one would not share minutiae about war plans, pointing out that such transparency would provide information to US adversaries.

Trump says US ready to fight Iran for ‘far longer’ than four weeks

Donald Trump on Monday assured the American public that the US was equipped to fight a lengthy war with Iran if necessary, but boasted that Operation Epic Fury was already ahead of schedule. The President also stressed he would not get 'bored' if the war dragged on longer than expected. Trump was in the East Room for a Medal of Honor ceremony when he gave his first public comments on this weekend's Iran strikes, which resulted in the deaths of four US troops. 'Today, we grieve for the four heroic American service members who have been killed in action, and send our love and support to their families,' the President said. 'In their memory, we continue this mission with ferocious, unyielding resolve to crush the threat this terrorist regime poses to the American people.'

Dan Crenshaw ousted following clashes with MAGA

Texas Congressman Dan Crenshaw was ousted in a primary by a state legislator following bruising clashes with MAGA Republicans during his time on Capitol Hill. Crenshaw, a fourth-term congressman representing Texas' Houston-area Second Congressional District and former Navy Seal, was defeated Tuesday by State Representative Steve Toth, according to the Associated Press. The stunning defeat is also a victory for Texas Senator Ted Cruz, who last week came out against his congressional colleague and endorsed Toth. Toth, an ordained pastor and businessman who owns two pool maintenance companies, has come after Crenshaw for not being sufficiently conservative, as well as being too focused on international affairs.

Trump denies that Israel pushed US into war with Iran

Donald Trump strongly denied that Israel pushed the US into war with Iran, saying that he actually 'may have forced' their hand, following fury from his MAGA base. During his first interaction with members of the press after the weekend operation, Trump was asked if Israel dragged the US into conflict. 'No, I might have forced their hand,' he stated to the contrary. Trump's comments appear to contradict what Secretary of State Marco Rubio said yesterday after briefing lawmakers on Operation Epic Fury. 'We knew that there was going to be an Israeli action. We knew that that would precipitate an attack against American forces,' Rubio said. 'And we knew that if we didn't preemptively go after them before they launched those attacks, we would suffer higher casualties.'

Karoline Leavitt’s swipe at conservatives against Iran war

White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt took a swipe at members of President Donald Trump's MAGA base who have criticized his military action in Iran . 'X is not real life,' Leavitt said. 'This President lives in the real world.' Leavitt had stopped to gaggle with reporters Friday on the White House driveway when asked about Republican Party infighting. 'And with respect to MAGA, President Trump is the leader of MAGA,' she continued. 'He's the creator of the MAGA movement. And there is nothing more "America First" than taking out terrorists who have maimed and killed our own service men and women, who chant "death to America," and who pose a threat to the homeland.' Former Fox News hosts Tucker Carlson and Megyn Kelly have thus far led the Iran war opposition.
