I've derived benefit from criticism all periods of my life; ..I don't resent criticism; even when, for the sake of its emphasis; it parts company with reality


عاجل تدمير اكبر مخازن الصواريخ الباليستية في تبريز عاصمة آذربايجان شمال غرب ايران



Estonia's FM @Tsahkna tells me - - Est is open to discussing joining US op in Hormuz, but needs to know precise aims - Est fully backs US-Isr campaign against Iran - Iran is an enemy of Europe - Est sees Isr as a key defense, cyber partner timesofisrael.com/estonia-is-rea…


Breaking News: The Pentagon’s restrictions on news outlets violated the First Amendment, a federal judge ruled, in a victory for The New York Times. nyti.ms/4smNxY1

“Iran’s targeting of Diego Garcia, ~4,000 kilometers from Iran, implies its missiles have a greater range than Tehran has previously acknowledged. Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said last month that Iran has deliberately limited the range of its missiles to 2,000 kilometers.” 🤷♂️

Iran fired IRBMs at Diego Garcia nearly 4,000 km away? First ever time Iran has been known to launch something with this range. Iran was only known to posses missiles with ranges of up to 2,000 km, although, in theory, medium-range ballistic missiles such as the Khorramshahr-4 can have a significantly extended range with a reduced payload weight (normally ~1,500 kg)

Chief Michael Sullivan: "These are not just numbers, they’re threats against real people. We understand how disruptive and unsettling that can be. The threat environment tends to grow.”

Iran fired a pair of intermediate-range ballistic missiles at Diego Garcia, a joint U.S.-UK base in the Indian Ocean. One missile failed in flight, and another was engaged by a US Navy destroyer using an SM-3 missile.

CNN has confirmed reports that Iran fired two intermediate-range ballistic missiles, likely Khorramshahr-4s, at Naval Support Facility Diego Garcia in the Indian Ocean on Friday, over 2,300 miles from Iran, with neither missile impacting the joint American-British military base, according to a U.S. official.



Over the past several weeks, Carrie Prejean Boller has complained that she was removed from the Presidential Commission on Religious Liberty because of her Catholic beliefs, and she has called out myself and other Catholic members of the commission for not defending her. This is absurd. Mrs. Prejean Boller was not dismissed for her religious convictions but rather for her behavior at a gathering of the Commission last month: browbeating witnesses, aggressively asserting her point of view, hijacking the meeting for her own political purposes. The Catholic position on matters of “Zionism,” to which I fully subscribe, is as follows: all forms of antisemitism are to be unequivocally condemned; the state of Israel has a right to exist; but the modern nation of Israel does not represent the fulfillment of Biblical prophecies and hence does not stand beyond criticism. If Mrs. Prejean Boller were dismissed for holding these beliefs, it is difficult to understand why I am still a member of the Commission. To paint herself as a victim of anti-Catholic prejudice or to claim that her religious liberty has been denied is simply preposterous.
