The Iran War continues mostly unabated, with the Houthis making considerable advances along the Red Sea coast. At home, it seems likely the President will face a Senate resolution demanding an end to the war. The President of Iran Massoud Pezeshkian, is claiming they will keep resisting, but signs of internal disruption are only increasing.

During an interview that aired on Thursday’s broadcast of Fox News Channel’s “Special Report,” Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian vowed his country would continue to resist the U.S. military strikes and other actions aimed at his country.
He also dismissed claims that Iran’s actions were based on the U.S. election calendar.
Partial transcript as follows:
BAIER: I just have a couple of other questions. One, in March, you warned that without a cease-fire, the Iranian economy could collapse. That was back in March. It could collapse within three weeks to a month. You warned without a cease-fire the economy could collapse within three weeks to a month. That was six months ago. Your own statistics agency says the Iranian economy shank 10 percent. Inflation is skyrocketing. The rial has lost more than half of its value in a year. Oil loadings fell from 2 million barrels a day to about 250,000 barrels.
So in that environment, how long can Iran last?
PEZESHKIAN (through translator): This is something that has been the doing of the United States. We will keep resisting. We will find ways, and the life of our country will continue. We will remain. And Trump kept saying, I want to bring a gift to the people of Iran, but the gift that they brought us were guided missiles, heavy weapons, and destruction. What they truly wish to do is to instigate incidents in the country that paves the way for the downfall of the system of the society, of the government.
BAIER: So were you wrong in March about the time frame or is the economy collapsing now?
PEZESHKIAN (through translator): We will keep resisting until the very end. Yes, we do have economic issues, certainly. But in order to remain, we will go through any hardship and endure. If America thinks that they can keep sanctioning us…
Russia is warning Ukrainians it plans on escalating its assault on civilians. President Putin threatened Ukrainians, declaring he will bring them “to their knees.” The rhetoric follows concerns Russia might be preparing to launch sea drone attacks on NATO members.

A report from the U.S. House Judiciary Committee reveals a high-ranking member of the Biden DOJ knew in advance of Jack Smith’s unconstitutional spying on members of congress. The report claims, “beginning in May 2022, prosecutors under the leadership of U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia Matthew Graves issued several subpoenas demanding telephone toll records for Members of Congress to identify individuals with whom they spoke around major votes in Congress . . .”

The Public Integrity Section (“PIN”) of the Department of Justice told Arctic Frost investigators to notify the deputy attorney general “via urgent report” of the FBI’s plans to subpoena Republican Rep. Jim Jordan’s toll records, repeating that directive a month later when agents sought to issue another subpoena for Rep. Chip Roy’s records. And when questioned under oath by the House Judiciary Committee, agents acknowledged they would have followed the PIN directive, indicating the Biden administration and Attorney General Merrick Garland knew of the FBI’s gross disregard of constitutional separation of powers and the Speech or Debate Clause protection afforded congressional leaders.
Wednesday morning, House Judiciary Committee Chair Jim Jordan released a 56-page interim report on “How Jack Smith and the Biden-Harris Department of Justice Disregarded the Separation of Powers to Spy on Their Political Opposition.” While the report summarized previously known details of the Arctic Frost investigation and Special Counsel Jack Smith’s unlawful subpoenaing of congressional toll records, Wednesday’s release reveals for the first time evidence that, prior to Smith’s appointment, a top DOJ official under the Biden administration knew of the plot to seize the records of congressional Republicans.
According to the report, “[b]eginning in May 2022, prosecutors under the leadership of U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia Matthew Graves issued several subpoenas demanding telephone toll records for Members of Congress to identify individuals with whom they spoke around major votes in Congress . . .” Graves previously garnered headlines when news broke that he had refused to partner with the now-former U.S. attorney for Delaware, David Weiss, to bring criminal charges against Hunter Biden.
Pakistan launched three separate air strikes on three separate Afghan provinces in response to drone attacks from Afghanistan a day earlier. The airstrikes were mostly centered in the southeast part of the country. Four civilians were allegedly killed. A Taliban spokesperson said, “These shameless acts of aggression and attacks by the Pakistani military regime will be met with an appropriate response.”

Pakistan said it carried out airstrikes early Thursday on 10 sites in Afghanistan that it said were used to launch drone attacks against Pakistan a day earlier, a sharp escalation in recent fighting between the two countries that threatens international mediation efforts.
The airstrikes struck southern and eastern Afghan provinces of Kandahar, Paktia and Khost, killing four civilians, Afghan government spokesperson Zabihullah Mujahid said in a statement.
“These shameless acts of aggression and attacks by the Pakistani military regime will be met with an appropriate response,” he said.
The announcement of the strikes by Pakistani Information Minister Attaullah Tarar in a post on X came after officials said Afghanistan’s Taliban forces had fired eight drones and shelled Pakistani border posts after Pakistani troops foiled what they described as a cross-border infiltration attempt by militants.
The Iowa Legislature created the Center for Intellectual Freedom at the University of Iowa. It has an advisory board overseeing the launch of the Center. Now, nearly half of the advisory council has resigned, claiming the terms the university was setting would kill the legislative intent of the Center.
One member, Richard Lowery, wrote, “The legislature created the center in 2025 to teach and research the ideas behind the American constitutional order and to promote free speech, civil discourse, and intellectual diversity on campus — and on the terms the regents have now set, it cannot do what the law created it to do.”

Launching the Center for Intellectual Freedom at the University of Iowa hit a big snag this week after nearly half of its Advisory Council resigned in protest.
The en masse resignations come amid concerns from resigning members that the Board of Regents seeks to embed the center’s operations into the university in a business-as-usual setup, rather than allowing it to operate independently to counteract what they view as left-wing bias on campus.
“The legislature created the center in 2025 to teach and research the ideas behind the American constitutional order and to promote free speech, civil discourse, and intellectual diversity on campus — and on the terms the regents have now set, it cannot do what the law created it to do,” according to former Advisory Council member Richard Lowery.
A state law passed over the summer requires University of Iowa students to complete courses in American history and American government based on original, historical and Constitutional documents through the Center for Intellectual Freedom starting fall 2028.
Writing for National Review, Lowery said university leaders so far have refused to list the center’s courses, blocked its hiring of even temporary faculty, and denied approval for routine travel.
The Associated Press attempted to incite violence against white people by fanning the flames of racial hatred. They did so through their report of the murder by hanging of a black woman, Tasia Fortune, who was only 29. After a black man, Jarques Ratcliff, 51, was arrested for the murder, the narrative wasn’t changed, that white supremacism is causing a lynching epidemic.
AP continued to promote the original anti-white narrative, accusing white supremacism of murdering the woman. CNN, which reported on the story in a similar manner, failed to follow up on the story when it became apparent the murderer was not a white man after all. This is not the free press, this is a military operation.

The Associated Press can describe a Mississippi murder in the language of 1930. What it will not do, at least on X, is show the face of the man charged with it.
Why? Because doing so would completely invalidate their narrative that the killing was yet another example of today’s supposedly rampant white supremacist violence.
Tasia Fortune, 29, a mother of four, was found dead behind an abandoned Jackson, Mississippi, house on Aug. 3. The medical examiner later ruled the death a homicide. Police arrested Jarques “Jock” Ratliff, 51 for allegedly committing the crime. He pleaded not guilty and was denied bond.
51-year-old Black man Jarques Ratliff was arrested in connection to the hanging of 29-year-old Black woman Tasia Fortune from a tree in Mississippi.
CNN initially suggested that White racism was to blame for the incident.
