Iranian sleeper agents have infiltrated the US. Now ex-FBI boss warns of imminent terror attacks on American soil

A former FBI boss has issued a stark warning over fears Iran could activate sleeper agents in the US to carry out terror attacks on American soil as vengeance for Saturday’s bombardment.

Chris Swecker, an assistant FBI director in the mid-2000s, said Hezbollah and other Iran-linked groups may feel they have nothing left to lose after Trump unleashed Operation Epic Fury this weekend.

Swecker told the Daily Mail: ‘We’ve got a cornered animal here, and if ever we’re going to see attacks on the United States, this would be the catalyst for that.’

I wonder why Dearborn has been so quiet.

Poilievre says he’s offered to go to U.S. to make Canada’s case

Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre said he’s open to meeting with U.S. leaders if it will help Canada’s efforts to end the continuing trade dispute.

Mr. Poilievre also said he “can’t stand” U.S. President Donald Trump’s talk about Canada becoming the 51st state, doesn’t like Mr. Trump’s tariffs and doesn’t like the way he’s treating Canada.

Trump insiders accused of ‘profiting from war’ after $1m bet on Iran attack

A US senator has accused those close to Donald Trump of “profiting off war and death” in the wake of suspiciously timed bets predicting a US strikes on Iran.

Chris Murphy, a US senator for Connecticut, said he would launch a crackdown on so-called prediction markets after analysts raised concerns about bets on Polymarket.

Bubblemaps, a cryptocurrency analytics company, identified what it said were “six suspected insiders [who] made $1.2m (£892k) betting on a US strike on Iran”.

Mark Carney supports the latest attacks on Iran. Don’t expect the Canadian public to share that view

As I write this late Saturday morning, news is still coming in about the joint U.S. and Israeli strikes on Iran. The targets reportedly included senior regime figures and missile infrastructure. Iran has responded. World leaders are trading statements. The situation feels fluid and dangerous.

Prime Minister Mark Carney has reacted in a way that is far different than how former prime minister Justin Trudeau likely would have responded. Carney reaffirmed that Iran must never obtain a nuclear weapon, reiterated Canada’s support for Israel’s right to defend itself, and backed U.S. action aimed at preventing further regional destabilization. At the same time, he urged protection for civilians and emphasized the need for stability.


I think annexation of the willing is looking better and better. I don’t want to share air with Mullah Regime supporters.

Ten Thoughts on Operation Epic Fury and Its Aftermath

Why the strike on Iran was legal, overdue, and a strategic earthquake.

As I write this on Saturday night, there is still a lot going on, and as such I’ll throw myself on the mercy of our readers for whatever has gone out of date between its writing and your reading.

It’s a very fluid situation.

But in what looks like a very, very successful joint operation between the Israeli Defense Forces and the U.S. Navy and Air Force, a significant decapitation strike has greatly degraded the Iranian regime — including harvesting some 40 top leaders of the Iranian regime, including Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei, whose death has sparked worldwide celebrations from Iranians and Iranian expatriates.

The Rare-Earth Reckoning

How America outsourced the materials of modern power—and what it will take to get them back

In the middle of the Mojave Desert, just off Interstate 15 between Los Angeles and Las Vegas, sits the Mountain Pass mine. Surrounded by a high plateau of pale rock and desert scrub, this 600-foot-deep open pit hums with activity. Trucks haul blasted rock to the surface, where it is crushed in pursuit of valuable minerals that are scattered thinly through the earth’s crust yet remain indispensable to modern life.

LILLEY: Taking out Iran’s Ayatollah should be celebrated

Ding dong, the Ayatollah is dead and the whole world should be celebrating.

While the Iranians were denying the death of Supreme Leader Ali Hosseini Khamenei throughout Saturday, the evidence points to his much-welcome demise.

Who Is Upholding Western Civilization?

How fitting that the US and Israel finally retaliated against 47 years of aggression by the regime of the Islamic Republic of Iran during the week of the Biblical Purim Festival.

Then, roughly 2,300 years ago, Haman, viceroy to Persia’s King Ahasuerus, threw a lot (“pur”, plural “purim”) to determine the date by which he would kill all the Jews in the empire. This plan’s successor sits (or sat) in Tehran’s Palestine Square: a “doomsday clock” counting down the minutes until Israel is supposed no longer to exist: 2040, to be exact.

Electric car drivers ‘spied on by government’ through phones

Millions of electric car drivers in Britain were spied on by the government through their mobile phones as part of a “bizarre nanny state” plan, it can be revealed.

Customers of O2, as well as other operators including Tesco Mobile, were monitored on the government’s behalf if their mobile internet history and app records showed they visited a site related to electric vehicles (EVs) once a month on at least two occasions.

Department for Transport officials commissioned O2 to spy on 25 million devices as part of a £600,000 study intended to produce a “comprehensive evaluation and understanding of the uptake and usage of electric vehicles”.
