‘It was back-to-back explosions’: Iranians recall 48 hours of terror after US attack on port cities

Residents in southern Iran have described two nights of fear this week after explosions shook coastal communities as the US launched fresh strikes on targets including the port cities of Bandar Abbas and Sirik.

US Central Command confirmed the attacks, saying they were carried out to “further degrade their ability to threaten freedom of navigation in the strait of Hormuz”.

For residents in Posht-e Shahr, Bandar Abbas, back-to-back explosions marked another night of terror as they scrambled to check on friends and family. Noor, a teacher who lives near the fishing pier, said this week’s strikes were stronger than most in recent months.

It’s a Guardian story so naturally all Iranians are fighting the good fight against the evil Trump.

Canada’s Ukraine aid tops $26.7 billion with another $925 million gift

Canada’s total commitment to Ukraine has surpassed $26.7 billion after Prime Minister Mark Carney announced an additional $925 million in military assistance during a meeting with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy on the sidelines of the NATO summit in Ankara on Tuesday.

Canada has not a single problem too big for Carney to ignore.

I am deeply grateful to Canada for its new support package – a very substantial one worth $900 million. Our first concern is more air defense. Protecting lives is the main thing, and Russia's ballistic missile attacks, along with its other missile and drone strikes, are terror… pic.twitter.com/49JOIyIaDi

China just fired a nuclear warning shot across the Pacific

The Chinese military tested a submarine-launched ballistic missile on Monday, emphasizing its ability to threaten the United States with the world’s most lethal weapons. Flying more than 4,300 miles, the missile soared high past Taiwan, Japan, and the U.S. territory of Guam, a key Pacific Ocean military bastion. Its dummy warhead, designed to simulate a nuclear warhead, then splashed down in waters north of the Solomon Islands.

Trump ‘immediately’ asking US Supreme Court to reconsider birthright citizenship case

President Donald Trump has said he will “immediately” ask the US Supreme Court to rehear a case challenging birthright citizenship in the US.

It comes a week after the high court ruled that those born in the US have a constitutional right to citizenship, rejecting Trump’s executive order that sought to restrict the 150-year-old policy.

While the Supreme Court allows for such a request, the high court has rarely ever granted a rehearing. The last time a decided case was reheard was some 60 years ago.

Number of new submarines still undecided as Canada begins talks with German builder

OTTAWA — Canada might not buy a full slate of 12 submarines through its new partnership with Germany and Norway because of factors like advancing technology in autonomous underwater machines, says the government’s secretary of state for defence procurement.

In an interview with the Star on Wednesday, Stephen Fuhr said the government has not settled on how many 212CD submarines it will ultimately buy as negotiations begin on the purchase of “up to” 12 of the modern diesel-electric craft from German-based shipbuilder TKMS.

Canada Tells US There’s ‘No Basis’ for Forced Labour Tariffs

Ottawa told Washington its safeguards against imports made with forced labour are robust enough as the threat of additional U.S. tariffs looms.

The Canadian government filed an official response with the United States Trade Representative (USTR) on July 6, the deadline for doing so.

“Canada respectfully submits that there is no basis for the imposition of additional Section 301 duties on Canadian goods,” says the document. It argues Canada has an existing prohibition against forced labour goods and has introduced new legislative measures to reinforce the regime.

The rise of eco-fascism

Alfie Coleman was 16 when Britain went into Covid lockdown and, like many teenagers, he spent more time online than he should have. Doomscrolling in his bedroom, he found much to trouble his young mind – including apocalyptic warnings about climate change.

But while other worried youngsters might have been tempted to join Extinction Rebellion (XR), Coleman favoured an even more extreme form of direct action.

Right-Wing Eco-nutters? New to me.
