Trump threatens to target Iran’s bridges and power plants if Hormuz attacks persist

President Donald Trump has threatened that the US would destroy an Iranian bridge or power plant any time its forces attack a ship in the Strait of Hormuz.

Potential targets would include ones “located next to, or in,” the capital Tehran, he said in a post on Truth Social.

The military response would follow any form of attack on shipping in the vital waterway, “whether it be by missile, rocket, drone, or any other device or weapon”.

Two Doctors with alleged ties to MS-13 charged with human trafficking in the Greater Toronto Area: police

Two men allegedly associated with the notorious criminal organization MS-13 are facing charges after police say they trafficked and sexually exploited a victim throughout the Greater Toronto Area.

In November 2025, police launched Project Mermaid after one of the suspects—who was serving a “lengthy sentence” at a Kingston, Ont., prison at the time—used an unauthorized cellphone to communicate with the victim and his co-accused.

“Investigators allege the two men used intimidation, manipulation, and threats of violence to control the (female) victim while financially benefiting from her exploitation,” police said in a news release issued Wednesday.

Trump’s 50% tariffs on Canada are an approximate 2.5% effective rate increase, less severe than headlines suggest: Economist

Trump’s 50% tariffs on Canada are an approximate 2.5% effective rate increase, less severe than headlines suggest: Economist

U.S. President Donald Trump’s move to impose 50 percent tariffs on a range of Canadian exports has sparked alarm across the country. But according to a leading trade economist, the actual economic impact may be far less dramatic than the eye-popping headline number suggests.

On Monday, Trump signed three proclamations under Section 338 of America’s Tariff Act of 1930—a provision unused for decades—imposing the new duties in response to what the administration calls Canada’s discriminatory treatment of American motor vehicles, alcohol, and dairy products.

Swedish Police Veteran Warns Islamisation Is “Eating Society From Within”

Swedish Police Veteran Warns Islamisation Is “Eating Society From Within”

A veteran Swedish police officer has warned that Islamisation will soon overtake migrant gang violence as the greatest threat facing the country.

Maria Rosander, who has served in the police for 17 years and leads the national-conservative Sweden Democrats in Uppsala County, said tougher criminal laws were beginning to reduce the shootings and bombings that have plagued Sweden for the past decade.

However, she argued that such measures cannot address religious segregation, Islamic radicalisation and the refusal of some migrant communities to assimilate.
