Iranian media said the paramilitary Revolutionary Guard was bringing the two ships to Iran after seizing them in the strait, through which 20% of the world’s oil passes in peacetime.

Pentagon Denies Widespread Reports Of Iran’s ‘Dark’ Tankers Breaching US Blockade
The Pentagon has not been happy with today’s media headlines that proclaimed Iranian ‘dark’ tankers (with their transponders switched off) have been able to penetrate and get past the US Navy’s blockade. CENTCOM issued a late afternoon public message, stating: “Over past 24 hours, media reports have alleged that several commercial ships evaded the blockade, citing M/V Hero II, M/V Hedy, and M/V Dorena as examples. These reports are inaccurate. Hero II and Hedy did not sail past the blockade as part of a flotilla that ‘ferried’ millions of barrels of oil to the market. It continued, “In fact, the Iranian-flagged tankers are anchored in Chah Bahar, Iran, after being intercepted by U.S. forces earlier this week. Dorena has been under the escort of a U.S. Navy destroyer in the Indian Ocean after previously attempting to violate the blockade.”

Appeals court blocks California law requiring feds to wear ID
A federal appeals court has blocked California’s law that requires federal agents to wear identification. The appellate court’s order favors the Trump administration, which had filed a lawsuit in November challenging the 2025 law requiring federal immigration agents to wear a badge or some form of ID.

The impersonator shaking Israel’s security and Chief Rabbinate
The halls of Israel’s Chief Rabbinate are in an uproar over a surreal security and religious breach: a man named Eyal Zionov has been systematically appearing at the nation’s most sensitive events disguised as the Rishon LeZion (the Sephardic Chief Rabbi). Despite the outrage, the Chief Rabbinate admits they are legally hamstrung. Sources within the Rabbinate told Kikar HaShabbat that preventing someone from wearing a specific outfit is a legal minefield. Zionov often complicates the matter by claiming he is the “Messiah”
Has the Iran war made its regime more radical? Yes, and easier to eliminate
Ali Vaez, explained,“When President Trump says he has changed the regime in Iran, he’s right in one sense—he’s changed it to a much more radicalized regime. Indeed, it was their false promises, the wishful thinking of Vaez and the International Crisis Group crowd, and the naivete of Western diplomats that enabled Iran to make such nuclear progress in the first place and to further its domestic repression. Israeli and American surveillance drones show Guardsmen refusing to launch drones and ballistic missiles, for example, because they know to do so would bring instant death. What needs to happen in Iran today is what happened in Cambodia: Those who wish for ideological reasons to fight to the death should have their wish granted. For Trump, this should mean not waiting for a unified proposal or falling victim to the regime’s usual good cop/bad cop games, but rather, targeting all the remaining hardliners without mercy.

Israel Estimates US Blockade of Strait of Hormuz to Slash Iran Oil Exports by 80%
As Iran struggles to rebuild damaged military and energy infrastructure amid the current ceasefire, Israel estimates that a US naval blockade of Iranian ports will slash the regime’s oil exports by roughly 80 percent, nearly severing one of Tehran’s last remaining economic lifelines. According to Israeli security assessments, the US closure of the Strait of Hormuz — a critical global energy chokepoint through which about one-fifth of the world’s oil supply passes — triggered an immediate and dramatic collapse in Iran’s revenue that will lead to a loss of more than $1 billion a month,

A recent study examined the rise in Christianity among young men in Finland, naming crises of meaning as a key factor for the trend.

MHRA claims their surveillance data raised no safety concerns for pregnant and breastfeeding women – not so, according to studies
Excretion of SARS-CoV-2 spike protein in human milk points to the broader premise that milk-producing cells are modified sweat glands, potentially sharing excretion pathways. Studies show breast milk contains high concentrations of SARS-CoV-2-specific IgA & IgG antibodies. NIH should study the elimination of synthetic Pfizer & Moderna mRNA & vaccine spike protein in human breast milk and sweat.

Taqiyya in Texas: Pakistani-Born Muslim Democrat Rep. Bhojani’s Slick Sharia ‘Interfaith’ Video Debunked — Brands Texans ‘Bigots’
Texas Muslim Democrat Rep. Bhojani’s slick interfaith video claims Sharia is just a harmless personal moral code of family and faith while branding Texans’ concerns as “fear and bigotry” — but it is textbook taqiyya concealing its true nature as a political system of jihad, dhimmi subjugation, Zakat-funded holy war, and gradual Islamic dominance.
Critical roles of Eyal Zamir, Dan Caine, Brad Cooper in shaping the Iran war – exclusive
In many ways, Zamir was key to convincing Caine and Cooper that such a war was feasible, such that they would support it, or at least not oppose it. Caine was then critical in convincing Trump that such a war was viable, while describing risks in 2nd & 3rd and order, even as the US chairman himself held doubts about significant aspects of the war.
Faith and War: Mark Levin (Video)
Using real-world examples, including the threat posed by regimes pursuing nuclear weapons, I explain why preventative action can be morally justified when the danger is clear and the consequences of inaction are catastrophic. I also dig into history, from World War II to the Cold War, to show that confronting evil has often been the only way to stop it. Because sometimes, as hard as it is to accept, the alternative to war is far worse.
Pope Leo’s Last Days Agenda: Joe Hawkins
Summary: Pope Leo’s aggressive push for religions to unite brings Rev. 17 into focus. We can see today’s ecumenical surge as a precursor to that coming one-world religion. As the Church of Rome expands its role, the pieces appear to be moving into place. This side of the Rapture, what looks like peace-building may be preparation for the counterfeit unity Scripture warns would emerge in the end times.
