US says its firepower will ‘surge dramatically’ and IDF warns of ‘surprises ahead’, as Iran launches retaliatory strikes

Israel and the US have bombarded Iran and Lebanon with a fresh wave of airstrikes and threatened a major escalation in their joint offensive, as Iran retaliated with more attacks across a swath of the Middle East.

Pete Hegseth, the US defence secretary, said US firepower was “about to surge dramatically” with the deployment of more bombers, while Eyal Zamir, the Israel Defense Forces chief of staff, said Israel was moving to a new phase of its offensive that would “further dismantle the regime and its military capabilities”.

. . .

On Friday, the seventh day of the spiralling conflict, Tehran launched missiles and drones at Kuwait, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, apparently targeting US bases and civilian infrastructure including oil pipelines.

US investigators probing an attack on a school in Iran that killed 165 people believe it is most likely that the United States military was responsible for the strike.

Two US officials told Reuters they were still looking into Saturday's attack in the city of Minab, which Middle East Eye revealed was a "double-tap" strike that killed scores of young girls and boys, and not reached a final conclusion.

While they said further evidence could potentially emerge exonerating the US, their initial findings chime with a number of other reports on the incident.

Some social media accounts had misleadingly suggested the school was bombed by Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), but this has been debunked.

Voiden is an offline-first, git-native API tool built on Markdown - and it very intentionally didn’t start as “let’s build a better Postman”.

Over time, API tooling became heavyweight: cloud dependencies for local work, forced accounts, proprietary formats, and workflows that break the moment you’re offline. Testing a localhost API shouldn’t need an internet connection.

So we asked a simple question: What if an API tool respected how developers already work?

That led to a few core ideas:

  • Offline-first, no accounts, no telemetry

  • Git as the source of truth

  • Specs, tests, and docs living together in Markdown

We opensourced Voiden because extensibility without openness just shifts the bottleneck.

If workflows should be transparent, the tool should be too.

Stuck at the next boss in Darksiders 3. It's a very gimmiky boss. First half is simple-ish, though not actually easy, but when you get the boss' health to half, it moves into phase two, which is under water fight. The gimmick is to swim and bring the homing bombs / mines to the boss, but only when it is sucking in the water, which happens after a specific series of attack, and meanwhile you have to make sure the bombs don't hit you. Having trouble here, took me quite a while to clear the first phase, and can't get the proper hang of second phase.

All the skills I have learned in the game, and the "git gud" (gitten gud?) I have done doesn't matter cause of this gimmicky fight, which is annoying. If I drop this game, this is probably where I'll do it.


Reached Arabaia in Xuan Yuan Sword: Mists Beyond the Mountains. Doing the dungeon right now. Should be halfway through the area.


Tom Clancy's The Division: Did all the missions till level 16, time to do some side missions to level up before doing the next missions. I would love a single-player, non-ubisoft-design game in the world of Division. The world building, the visuals, the gameplay (other than spongy enemies) and even the UI, all are pretty good. Just not a big fan of the live service style of game.


Doing the last chapter of Campaign in Hard West. Still have the prequel chapter, and 4 side chapters left though. Prioritizing this now, as I want to start Pokopia after I am done with it. It will probably still take a week or so.


What about all of you? What have you been playing and/or plan to play?

The assistance suggests the rapidly expanding war now includes the involvement of one of Washington’s key nuclear-armed rivals with advanced intelligence capabilities, The Caspian Post reports, citing The Washington Post.

Since the conflict began on Saturday, Russia has reportedly shared the locations of U.S. military assets with Iran, including warships and aircraft, the officials said. They spoke on condition of anonymity because of the sensitivity of the issue.

The Russian Embassy in Washington did not respond to requests for comment.

Moscow has previously called for an end to the war, describing it as an “unprovoked act of armed aggression.”

...and noted she voted for President Trump in 2024. But she said the federal government urgently needs to reform how immigration agents conduct their duties.

"I don't blame President Trump for the death of my son, 'cause he wasn't the one who pulled the trigger," Reyes said. "But I do think that something needs to be changed in that department as far as the pattern of violence or abuse and impunity."

DHS' account of the incident was disputed by Joshua Orta, Martinez's close friend and a passenger of the vehicle during the fatal shooting. Orta said in a draft declaration, shared and prepared by Martinez's lawyers, that his friend "did not hit anyone." Orta died in a separate car crash last month, before he could sign the declaration and testify.

US military investigators have said it is likely its forces were responsible for a strike on a girls’ school in Iran that killed scores of children and has been condemned as a war crime, according to a report by Reuters.​

The attack on the Minab girls’ school in southern Iran on Saturday is believed to have killed at least 165 people, mostly children under the age of 12.

​The UN’s education agency, Unesco, said the attack was a “grave violation of humanitarian law”.

​US war secretary Pete Hegseth said on Wednesday that the military was investigating the incident. Investigators have not reached a final conclusion and it is still unclear what evidence contributed to their assessment, Reuters reported, citing two unnamed officials.

It was also unclear what type of munitions were used and who was responsible, the outlet said.

An investigation by news outlet Middle East Eye determined that the attack on the school was a “double tap” strike – where a target is hit a second time in order to kill rescuers who come to the aid of the injured.

“When the first bomb hit the school, one of the teachers and the principal moved a group of students to the prayer hall to protect them,” a Red Crescent medic told the outlet, citing conversations he had with survivors.

“The principal called the parents and told them to come and pick up their children. But the second bomb hit that area as well. Only a small number of those who had taken shelter survived.”

​The UK has joined the war on Iran – which is illegal because it was not approved by the UN or US congress – by allowing the use of its bases for strikes against the country.

Prime minister Keir Starmer has claimed the UK’s involvement is an act of self-defence, despite the fact the US and Israel started the war.
