State of the Union: As tit-for-tat fighting continues, Tehran appears more willing to escalate. The post Iran War Day 194: Oil Hits $100 Per Barrel appeared first on The American Conservative .
The price of Brent crude hit $100 per barrel Wednesday morning after heavy fighting between the U.S. and Iran. That’s the highest level since late July for the key international benchmark. U.S. Central Command said Tuesday evening it had struck Iranian assets: “CENTCOM forces destroyed five Iranian crude oil carriers, Sept. 8, after the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) targeted a U.S. Navy warship with ballistic missiles twice over the past two days.” The IRGC, a force in the Iranian military, painted a different picture of its own preceding attacks, saying it had successfully damaged two warships in ballistic missile strikes. After the U.S. strikes on Tuesday, Iran launched missiles at Jordan, which hosts American…Open
Above: Abdullah Muhaysini blesses a Saudi teen on his way to conducting a suicide bombing in Syria’s West Aleppo
As the US prepares to mark 25 years since Sept. 11, 2001, Donald Trump has removed top Al Qaeda figures from the US list of designated terrorists. Among those he delisted was Abdullah Muhaysini, a Saudi cleric who recruited child fighters and teen suicide bombers to wreak havoc across Syria. The administration of President Donald Trump has removed the names of some of the world’s most notorious commanders, recruiters and financiers for the Syrian branch of Al Qaeda from its list of specially designated terrorists. Among those relieved of US sanctions this August was Abdullah Muhaysini , a Salafi-jihadi cleric from Saudi Arabia who participated in videotaped massacres of captive soldiers and recruited droves of foreign youth to carry out…Open
Iran fired at Kuwait on Thursday as part of its retaliation for U.S. bombardments earlier in the week. Sirens sounded in Kuwait early Thursday, where air defenses intercepted missile and drones during a “blatant Iranian aggression,” the Ministry of Defense said on X.
The U.S. military attacked two Iranian government tankers as part of the round of strikes that took place on Tuesday, U.S. officials said. Why it matters: This is the first time the U.S. military has struck Iranian tankers in retaliation for Iranian attacks on ships in the Strait of Hormuz — rather than to prevent them from violating the naval blockade. - A U.S. official said the move was part of a new "tanker for tanker" policy approved by President Trump to further deter Iranian attacks on tankers that move through the strait. Driving the news: U.S. officials said around 100 targets were attacked during Tuesday's strikes. - The Iranian government tankers were anchored off Iran's coast north of the U.S. naval blockade line.

A New York City-backed puppet festival is under fire after a mother reported that what began as a family-friendly show in Lower Manhattan veered into anti-Israel messaging, leaving her and her young son shaken and sparking criticism over the use of public funds. What was billed as a whimsical puppet performance for families at the International Puppet Fringe Festival in Lower Manhattan took a jarring turn, according to a Brooklyn mother who attended with her 4-year-old son. About 15 minutes into the show, which began with New York-themed skits like “pizza rat and parallel parking,” the content shifted to commentary about Israel and accusations of bombing hospitals. The mother described the moment as “the anti-Israel stuff came out…Open
The New York Times has flooded its pages with "Islamophobia" coverage in recent weeks, even as FBI data show anti-Jewish hate crimes outnumber anti-Muslim offenses by roughly seven to one, a disparity the paper seems uninterested in explaining. Between August 10 and August 20, the Times published at least four articles built around the "Islamophobia" […] The post New York Times gives anti-Muslim bias nearly as much ink as antisemitism — despite a seven-to-one gap in hate crimes appeared first on American Almanac .
The New York Times has flooded its pages with "Islamophobia" coverage in recent weeks, even as FBI data show anti-Jewish hate crimes outnumber anti-Muslim offenses by roughly seven to one, a disparity the paper seems uninterested in explaining. Between August 10 and August 20, the Times published at least four articles built around the "Islamophobia" label, including a front-page feature with four reporter bylines and a lengthy dispatch from Dearborn, Michigan, that buried a deadly antisemitic attack deep in its twenty-fifth paragraph. The burst of coverage followed election victories by two prominent Muslim Democratic politicians and a remark by President Trump calling certain Democratic candidates "jihadists." At every turn, the paper's…Open

Rideout was kidnapped in Niger in October of 2025.
AI:Donald Trump has confirmed that a Christian missionary, captured by jihadist forces in Niger this past October, has been successfully returned to United States custody. While the mainstream media's liberal elites scramble to provide minimal coverage or outright obfuscation regarding these global terror threats, the facts remain: an American citizen was taken by radical extremists and rescued through decisive action. This event underscores the persistent reality of the jihadist menace that the soft-headed pundits in Washington would rather ignore while they focus on their leftist agenda.Open
