It would seem that the US waited until after the world cup to initiate the attacks today.. Last night the US announced strikes and then there wasn't much reporting on attacks for a few hours.

previous announcements of US attacks on Iran.

CENTCOM began conducting a new wave of strikes against Iran at 7 p.m. ET today for the ninth consecutive night. The strikes will continue degrading Iranian military capabilities used to attack commercial vessels and civilian mariners transiting the Strait of Hormuz.

Kinda wild that some burger got smoked so hard that they couldn't even find the body. Yesterday, the US reported that 2 troops were killed in the missile attack in Jordan and that 1 was missing.

CENTCOM Update on Recently Fallen U.S. Service Members

TAMPA, Fla. — Yesterday, U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) announced the passing of two U.S. service members and the missing status of one in Jordan following an Iranian attack on July 17. After a thorough search, U.S. military personnel found unidentified remains at the location earlier today. An examination process to verify the remains is ongoing.

Separately, a U.S. service member in northern Iraq was killed in action July 18 during a controlled detonation of unexploded ordnance from a downed Iranian one-way attack drone. A second service member was wounded and continues to receive medical treatment for a minor injury.

CENTCOM is withholding additional information, including the identities of the missing and fallen warriors, out of respect for the families during the notification process.

On the topic of like repurposing various computer components. I used to see people using the circuit boards for like art projects or decorations. Maybe that's tacky.

Maybe having a bunch of DVD-R drives could be useful if you want to burn a bunch of DVDs at the same time. That's if these computers even have burner drives.

$WARNING there is 1 part of the computer that you don't want to take apart. PSU power supply unit. The PSU has high voltage capacitors inside of it, that can shock you and kill you, even if the computer is off. The PSU is a small box near the back of the case. It should be safe as long as you don't open that box. There's probably a warning sticker on that box.

You can take apart the hard drives to get some really strong magnets for your refrigerator. You need a torx bit screwdriver. I think it might be a t7 bit. The hard drives are likely failing anyway.

Unless you have like a thinkpad t60 or x60 or t400 or x200. The computers are probably not worth using.

I don't think that she is playing both sides. I think what she is saying is that MAGA is not political because it is the default position. She thinks that when she lives at the White House and films herself golfing with Trump, it isn't "political" because it's just the natural way of life. It's a deflection from any sort of criticism. "Politics" is only people that want to impose change on the status quo. She says that what she is doing isn't politics because it is reinforcing status quo.

KAI: Honestly, I kind of stay out of politics completely. It’s just not my thing," the influencer said. "I just like showing my life and showing how you can still be an athlete and you can still do a ton of other things and enjoy a ton of other things. So, I just kind of like showing people that everything’s possible and I love just showing the new generation my progress through college, eventually, but obviously how I got to where I am today.

INTERVIEWER: Now I think your grandfather has done a very good job with America 250, especially integrating it with sports. I saw you were at the UFC event at the White House. How is that, I mean.. What do you think about the integration with politics but also sports?

KAI: Honestly I stay out of politics completely. It's just not my thing. but um. I think the UFC event was great and it was really cool being there, and especially having veterans in the stadium as well. like...

I agree. On April 2 2026, the US bombed Iran's largest bridge. 13 people were killed. Western media barely reported on it.

Earlier on Friday, Major-General Mohsen Rezaei, an adviser to Iran’s supreme leader, warned that Tehran will move beyond the military phase of deterrence and enter the phase of “offence and complete destruction” if US attacks do not cease.

“Iran will no longer limit itself to retaliatory, like-for-like responses … and no political border will be safe,” Rezaei added.

Rezaei said Washington’s attritional strategy of “war and negotiation” had reached a dead end and that the intensity of Iranian attacks would increase in the coming days.

US attacks overnight on Thursday into Friday killed eight people in Iran, the country said. The IRGC then launched attacks against US military assets in Bahrain, Kuwait, Oman, Qatar, Jordan and Syria.

This is how the United States attempts to showcase its so-called “strength”: by attacking civilian infrastructure and killing civilians.

Last night, in its unlawful attacks on Hormuzgan Province, the US committed another blatant war crime by targetting bridges and murdering eight innocent Iranians — four men and four women — including two brothers with disabilities.

The Iranian people are now more determined and united than ever, fully resolved to make their savage enemies bitterly regret this criminal aggression against their beloved homeland

Biden also told the media that Xi Jinping is a dictator only minutes after speaking face-to-face with Xi in California. It is Trump making the absurd claim. The way that you quoted my sentence makes it seem like I said that.

China and Pakistan called for an early ceasefire and the resumption of talks between the US and Iran during a meeting between Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi and Pakistani Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Mohammad Ishaq Dar on Thursday evening in Shanghai, according to a statement released by the Chinese Foreign Ministry.

During the meeting, the two sides exchanged views and coordinate positions on the situation in Iran, the statement said.

Both sides expressed concern over the worsening situation and called on all parties concerned to immediately cease hostilities, work to overcome difficulties, remove obstacles, resume contact and dialogue, and ultimately strive to reach a comprehensive peace agreement through negotiations. The international community should continue to provide support and assistance to this process.

Wang stressed that the first-phase memorandum of understanding reached between the US and Iran was hard-won, and it represented not only the outcome of negotiations between the two sides, but also the result of joint efforts by the international community, with Pakistan playing an indispensable role in coordination and mediation.

The core provisions of the memorandum serve the fundamental and long-term interests of the parties concerned and align with the shared expectations of the international community. They should therefore be cherished and carefully safeguarded, Wang pointed out.

Peace is within reach; efforts must not be wasted, nor should the opportunity be lost after being gained, Wang said, adding that all parties should honor their commitments and abide by the provisions of the memorandum.

China will continue to support Pakistan’s mediation efforts and play a constructive role, in its own way, in promoting the easing of tensions, Wang said.

Dar briefed Wang on Pakistan’s recent efforts, thanked China for its understanding and support, and said Pakistan would continue to work actively to promote peace and dialogue despite difficulties, according to the statement from the Chinese Foreign Ministry.

I think the Araghchi tweet is in reference to Trump's speech last night which claimed that China changed the outcome of the 2020 election so that Biden would win, a conspiracy theory that makes no sense.

Araghchi is saying that Israel has more interference in US elections through lobbying and Christian Zionist politicians, than China has over any US politics.

Interesting word choices here from JD Vance in response to our story:

“completely bogus”

“No one has done more” to work for “peace and prosperity in the region” than Jared Kushner and Steve Witkoff.

The idea they may be insider trading is “absurd” and they are “good dudes”

JD Vance

This is completely bogus. I never received a message like this.

If I had, I would have said: Jared and Steve are trusted members of the president's team and very dear friends. No one has done more than the two of them to work towards peace and prosperity in the region. The idea they're trading on insider information is absurd.

I see a lot of BS flying around and I normally just ignore it. But Steve and Jared are good dudes and I'm honored to work with them
