Trump Announces Historic Iran Peace Deal as Strait of Hormuz Reopens

By Ben Whedon | Just the News The terms of the agreement were unavailable as of Sunday night, but a top Pakistan mediator said both sides have declared the immediate and permanent termination of all military operations. President Donald Trump has unveiled a deal to end 47 years of hostilities with Iran, bringing months of U.S.military operations to an end and opening the Strait of Hormuz in a one-two punch certain to ease oil prices ahead of the midterm elections. "Let the oil flow!” Trump declared Sunday on social media after completing the deal on his 80th birthday and the day the U.S. began its 250th anniversary celebration with an historic UFC Freedom 250 mixed martial arts fight on the White House South Lawn. A signed ceremony was set for Friday in Switzerland. ...

Boulder Firebomber Gets Life Plus 2,128 Years For Terror Attack On Pro Israel Demonstrators

By Matt Kyle | The Denver Gazette A man accused of throwing two Molotov cocktails into a crowd of pro-Israel protesters in Boulder pleaded guilty Thursday to 101 state charges in a Boulder County courthouse and received just shy of the maximum sentence allowed by law. Following a lengthy sentencing hearing and personal statement from Mohamed Sabry Soliman, District Judge Nancy Salomone sentenced him to the maximum sentence on almost every count, which must be served consecutively. He was sentenced to life in prison, plus an additional 2,128 years. Soliman, 46, was arrested shortly after the June 1, 2025 attack at the Pearl Street Mall. Soliman, who plotted the attack for more than a year, threw two Molotov cocktails into a group of people calling for the release of hos...

Strategic Gains Mount for the United States and Israel As Iran Missile And Proxy Networks Falter

By Muhanad Seloom | Al Jazeera Every aspect of Iran’s ability to project regional power is being successfully degraded. Two weeks into Operation Epic Fury, the dominant narrative has settled into a comfortable groove: The United States and Israel stumbled into a war without a plan. Iran is retaliating across the region. Oil prices are surging, and the world is facing another Middle Eastern quagmire. US senators have called it a blunder. Cable news has tallied the crises. Commentators have warned of a long war. The chorus is loud and, in some respects, understandable. War is ugly, and this one has imposed real costs on millions of people across the Middle East, including the city I live in. But this narrative is wrong. Not because the costs are imaginary, but b...

Tracking the Iran conflict: A Colorado veteran’s daily sitrep from day 10 onward

By Kennesaw | Guest Commentary, Rocky Mountain Voice As a USAF ELINT veteran, I have always anchored my compass in Bible truth and the Founders' original intent on liberty first, peace through strength, and no endless entanglements. That is why I am tracking the Iran conflict: to provide daily situation report (sitrep) briefings on the Iran conflict, pulling from open-sourced and verified intelligence like CENTCOM feeds, satellite imagery, and cross-checked reports. No legacy media spin, no "both-sides" relativism—just raw, evidence-grounded truth that cuts through the noise. For Coloradans, from our tech-savvy hubs in Boulder to the resilient communities in the Rockies, this matters. Our state hosts critical defense assets like NORAD and plays a role in energy ...

Oil Surges Past $100 As Middle East War Disrupts Global Supply

By: John Carney | Breitbart Oil prices surged past $110 a barrel on Sunday evening, topping $100 for the first time in nearly four years, as the war in the Middle East entered its ninth day with no end in sight and the Strait of Hormuz remained effectively closed to tanker traffic. Brent crude, the international benchmark, briefly topped $110 soon after markets opened Sunday evening, while West Texas Intermediate rose to $109.05. Both benchmarks were trading around $60 a barrel in early January. President Trump on Sunday night sought to reassure Americans that oil prices would come down in short order. “Short term oil prices, which will drop rapidly when the destruction of the Iran nuclear threat is over, is a very small price to pay for U.S.A., and World, Saf...

China Scrambles As U.S Israeli Strike On Iran Upends Xi’s Middle East Strategy

By: Zineb Riboua | National Review The U.S.–Israeli military campaign has created palpable problems for China. The men in Zhongnanhai do not rattle easily. Decades of patient statecraft, a foreign policy built on studied ambiguity, and an economy engineered to absorb external shocks have granted Beijing’s leadership a remarkable tolerance for turbulence. Operation Epic Fury, the U.S.–Israeli military campaign now dismantling Iran’s military architecture, has produced something unusual in the corridors of Chinese power: visible confusion. Xi Jinping is scrambling — and that word is not used lightly. For a leader who has built his image on strategic composure and long-horizon thinking, Xi faces an acutely dangerous moment — not because China faces a direct military thr...

After 47 years: Could Iran be nearing a turning point?

By Wendy YurgO | Commentary, The Christian Post For 47 years, the Islamic Republic has done everything in its power to crush any light that refuses to submit to its rule. Public conversion from Islam is apostasy under Iranian law —punishable by imprisonment, flogging, long-term solitary confinement, or execution. House churches are raided in the night. Bibles are seized. Pastors are arrested and interrogated for months, sometimes years. Families are threatened. Believers lose jobs, homes, and relationships. Yet the underground church in Iran has not only survived—it has grown at a pace that many call one of the fastest in the world. Ministries tracking the movement — Elam Ministries, Transform Iran, Operation World, and others — estimate between one to three million Muslim-ba...

Colorado Lawmakers Split on Iran

By Thelma Grimes | Colorado Politics Colorado’s congressional delegation split sharply along party lines Saturday after the U.S. and Israel attacked Iran, triggering a fresh debate in America over presidential war powers. Trump announced early Saturday morning that U.S and Israeli forces had begun “Operation Epic Fury” after multiple explosions were reported around Iran. Later in the day, the president said that Iran’s leader, Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, was killed. Iranian state media also confirmed Khamenei’s death. Both sides of the political aisle agree that Iran — one official called the country a “terrorist state” — should never be allowed to possess nuclear weapons. But Democrats and Republicans clashed over the latest operations, just ...
