Surely I’m not the only one who thinks this whenever they see a map of The Strait Of Hormuz on the news?

good thing we do not have any ocean based military activities in motion right now

I've been laughing at this for two minutes. I'm definitely not OK.

BREAKING

The Pentagon says that Secretary of the Navy John Phelan is leaving effective immediately.

😅🤣🤣

I used to like her when she was in waynes world. I'm so disappointed with what has happened to her

An image containing a post from Isabel Oakeshott complaining that the press are reporting on her boyfriend’s tax dodging accompanied by various reports about his tax dodging.

'Richard Tice’s girlfriend is very annoyed that the free press she champions, despite having emigrated to a dictatorship without one, is investigating her boyfriend for stuff she says people who aren’t her boyfriend, like Angela Rayner, should resign over.'

You couldn’t make it up. 🤦🏻‍♂️

The most accurate indicator that something bad is about to happen.

The President and his Administration have already failed twice in court trying to intimidate me, and he's still not letting up. Just more proof that he'll do anything it takes to silence those of us willing to call him out. I'm not backing down — ever.

People like Pete Hegseth believe that China manufactures the flu as a weapon.

He then tells China, potentially our biggest military enemy, that he is ensuring that US troops *will* be made vulnerable to the flu.

When you're too stupid to reconcile your conspiracy theories.

You can lead the Daily Telegraph to an NHS story, but you can't make them report it accurately.

I’m glad that the Mad King isn’t going to commit war crimes right now, while once again it is obvious this bumbling fool has no idea what he’s doing.

1. BREAKING

President Trump says there will be no military action against Iran and the Islamic Republic due to the intercession of Pakistan’s Chief of Army Staff, Asim Munir.

Taco

I’m sure Trump has put the US in a very strong bargaining position by issuing two ultimatums with hard deadlines only to back down both times after Iran called his bluff.

4-D chess from the cult leader.

#BREAKING: Trump extends ceasefire to give Iran more time to negotiate

"Never before have we seen so little effort to hide so much corruption."

The year is 1969. Man lands on the moon. Back on Earth, the Concorde flies its first test for a commercial supersonic airline.

The year is 2026. Man circles the moon and will, a few years later, land. Back on Earth, there is a concept of a plan for commercial supersonic flights.

Donald says we would have won the Vietnam War if he'd been president.
Maybe he should have just served.

Lufthansa is canceling 20,000 short-haul flights as jet fuel prices have doubled following the U.S. and Israeli war against Iran and the resulting disruption to global oil supplies.

The Islamic Republic of Iran has officially informed Pakistan that it will not attend talks with the United States tomorrow and that its decision is final.

Vice President JD Vance has cancelled his trip to Pakistan.

The possibility exists that the war could start again in just a matter of hours.

Shoutout to The Atlantic reporters for publishing these massive scoops instead of waiting years to put them in a book.

Screenshot of a tweet by NASA astronaut Reid Wiseman (@astro_reid) describing filming an "Earthset" from space, comparing it to watching a sunset at the beach from "the most foreign seat in the cosmos." He notes he captured a cell phone video while fellow astronaut Christina Koch (@Astro_Christina) used a Nikon with a 400mm lens for professional shots, with Vic Glover (@AstroVicGlover) and Jeremy Hansen (@Astro_Jeremy) watching from window 3.

Continuation of Reid Wiseman's tweet, describing how he used an iPhone with 8x zoom to capture Earth rising over the Moon's surface through the docking hatch window, noting the view is uncropped and uncut and comparable to what the human eye would see. The image shows Earth as a small bright crescent peeking over the dark, cratered lunar surface against the blackness of space.

The most amazing video ever taken on an iPhone.

Trump yesterday: Iran better sign a deal by Tuesday or I’m blowing up power plants and bridges!

Trump today: I’m in no rush to make a deal. Time is on my side.

OMFG I had to go and check that this ACTUALLY happened.

Since when does the BBC ever do chyrons with a political party's branding, rather than their own? Not to mention this is during a pre-election campaign purdah.
