Meeks posted a statement to X that while he is firmly committed to Israel’s security and its ability to defend itself, he is concerned about the risk to civilian lives, citing Israel’s war against Hamas in Gaza, and against Hezbollah in Lebanon.

The imam at the mosque where Michigan Senate nominee Abdul El-Sayed regularly prays delivered a funeral eulogy for slain Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh, calling him a "heroic martyr" and a "symbol of jihad", raising fresh questions about the company El-Sayed keeps. Imam Abdelhamid Algizawi of the Muslim Community Association of Ann Arbor held what he called an "absentee funeral prayer" for Haniyeh on August 2, 2024, just two days after the Hamas leader died from an explosive device smuggled into a Tehran guesthouse. The sermon, delivered in both English and Arabic, cast Haniyeh not as the head of a designated terrorist organization but as a righteous patriot who deserved paradise. The Washington Free Beacon reported on the sermon after…Open

The Iran War The Iran War Even If ‘Operation Economic Outcast’ Works, It Won’t End the War What would the day after look like in the region? Photo by Fatemeh Bahrami/Anadolu via Getty Images I’m in a generous mood. Let’s say the newest scheme works: The latest iteration of attempted economic strangulation causes state collapse in Iran. I remain skeptical, but in my expansive goodwill, I’ll go ahead and grant the premise for the sake of argument. I’ll even grant that it happens on a manageable political timescale, oh, six months or so. What then? Some portion…Open
Two languages. Two realities.
Yemen's Iranian-backed Houthi rebels have captured a strategic island at the mouth of the Red Sea, a move that hands Tehran-linked forces potential leverage over one of the world's most critical energy chokepoints, and puts Washington in a bind. Houthi fighters took control of Mayun island, which sits inside the Bab el-Mandeb Strait at the […] The post Iran-backed Houthis seize strategic Red Sea island, threatening global oil shipments appeared first on American Almanac .
Yemen's Iranian-backed Houthi rebels have captured a strategic island at the mouth of the Red Sea, a move that hands Tehran-linked forces potential leverage over one of the world's most critical energy chokepoints, and puts Washington in a bind. Houthi fighters took control of Mayun island, which sits inside the Bab el-Mandeb Strait at the southern entrance to the Red Sea. A senior military official with Yemen's internationally recognized government confirmed the seizure, as did a Houthi official. The capture came alongside Houthi gains on the mainland, including the port city of Mokha, where rebels also seized a compound that had housed United Nations staff. The strait is no minor waterway. Roughly 12 percent of the world's goods…Open
Mayor Zohran Mamdani has never treated CAIR as a problem, and New York taxpayers are still paying the groups tied to it. He took political help from CAIR-linked PACs, hired from the same network, and City Hall now acts like the paper trail is a smear instead of a record. Texas and Florida designated CAIR a terrorist organization. […] The post NYC Taxpayers Fund Groups Tied to CAIR as Mamdani Looks Away appeared first on StoneZone .
Mayor Zohran Mamdani has never treated CAIR as a problem, and New York taxpayers are still paying the groups tied to it. He took political help from CAIR-linked PACs, hired from the same network, and City Hall now acts like the paper trail is a smear instead of a record. Texas and Florida designated CAIR a terrorist organization. The UAE did it years earlier. CAIR spent years selling itself as a civil-rights shop. Prosecutors listed it as an unindicted co-conspirator in the Holy Land Foundation case, the largest Hamas-financing trial in American history. A CAIR board member later drew a 65-year sentence in that same world of cases. None of that stopped CAIR-tied money from becoming one of the biggest institutional boosts…Open

State of the Union: The Iran-backed militia now controls Yemen’s entire Red Sea coast. The post Iran War Day 196: Houthis Take Key Red Sea Island, Threatening Major Shipping Route appeared first on The American Conservative .
Yemen’s Houthi rebels seized Perim Island in the Red Sea Friday, giving the militia expanded sway over the important Bab el-Mandeb strait. The island’s capture comes a day after the Houthis took another key Red Sea site—the port city of Mokha—from forces aligned with Yemen’s internationally recognized government. Media reports indicate the Houthis now exercise functional control over Yemen’s entire Red Sea coastline; many analysts fear this will allow the Iran-aligned group to throttle shipping through the waterway, which could send oil prices soaring even higher. The Houthis’ advance poses particular problems for Saudi Arabia, which exports much of its oil through the Red Sea and has been the principal international…Open
