A long-ago covert operation shows how special forces could reopen Hormuz

The world’s attention is now fixed on a narrow but strategically essential stretch of water: the Strait of Hormuz.

Following the US-Israeli decision to obliterate Iran’s leadership and its offensive and nuclear capabilities, Tehran has responded in its typical asymmetric fashion. With their air defences destroyed and missile reserves depleted, the mullahs of the theocracy have once again sought to weaponise the oil price by reducing the flow of oil through the Strait. Nothing weakens Western resolve like an economic crisis.

The Islamist roots of these mass prayer rituals

Muslims desecrate Trafalgar Square with cult ritual

Good on Nick Timothy for smoking out the hypocrisy, muddled thinking and cant that obscures the debate over Islamism in Britain. He must have known the furore that would follow when he branded the Muslim prayer session in Trafalgar Square an ‘act of domination’. He must have known it would attract the worst and weakest criticisms from the worst and weakest people. And lo it came to pass.

‘Yes to fields of wheat, no to fields of iron’: how the world’s greenest country soured on solar

In one telling of the story, the golden fields of a proud farming nation are under attack. Besieged by an industrial sprawl of solar panels, they are being smothered at the behest of an urban elite.

That narrative has failed to thrive in conservative heartlands such as Texas and Hungary, which have embraced solar power while lambasting green rules.

Saint-Denis, ‘City of Kings’, and the Great Replacement: A Case Study

The local elections in Saint-Denis, a city with a population of over 150,000, saw, for the first time, the victory of a far-left candidate representing La France Insoumise (LFI): Bally Bagayoko was elected with just over 50% of the vote.

LFI and its leader, Jean-Luc Mélenchon, have made Bagayoko their champion. Through him, Mélenchon is methodically pursuing his promotion of what he calls the “New France,” a new country where ethnic mixing must become the norm—a “creolisation,” in his words, whose benefits are largely imagined, and which is supposed to revitalise an old country in decline.
