Israel has the right to defend itself, Foreign Minister Penny Wong says, but she has dodged questions over whether its surprise bombardment of Iran is a breach of international law.

Seeking to hamper Iran's attempts to develop military-grade nuclear capability, Israel struck military facilities, nuclear scientists, a major gas facility that exports internationally and other targets in a two-day barrage that Iran says has killed 78 people.

Iran retaliated with missile launches of its own that killed at least three people in Israel, with the US helping to shoot down a number of incoming missiles.

Israel's Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has threatened Iran to expect worse to come.

Real, vibrant, resilient health—begins not in the pharmacy, but in the soil beneath our feet. Central to our health is a diet derived from a diverse range of life forms, whether these are plants, animals, fungi, algae or other microorganisms, that have been nurtured by sunlight and rich, organic soils or natural, uncontaminated waters.

The Sixth Mass Extinction: Can You Survive It?

As agricultural systems become ever more industrialised, plant foods are grown increasingly in sterile hydroponic media, and more ingredients, often bioengineered, are generated in bioreactors, we need to ask ourselves what kind of impacts such ‘high tech’ foods will have on our human health.

Joe Rogan likes to hunt and cook his own food. He shoots with a crossbow – Elk, with their wild screams, are his favourite prey – then barbecues the meat and serves it thinly cut, with cheese and jalapenos. He uses weed and psychedelics, reads Hunter S. Thompson, and dabbles in stand-up comedy. He’s a mixed martial arts expert, and nurtures his hard, nuggety physique with gruelling workouts and experimental supplements.

Joe Rogan’s message can be rambling and unpolished, yet men idolise him. This might be why

His creed, as he once put it, is to embrace something that’s terrifying, “that most people shy away from, and you can succeed in life”.

The US gave Iran “chance after chance to make a deal” over its nuclear program, US President Donald Trump has stated, suggesting that the Israeli airstrikes against the Islamic Republic are the result of its own recalcitrance. He called on Tehran to agree to Washington’s terms “before it is too late.”

The Israeli military conducted a series of airstrikes on numerous targets across Iran early on Friday, including military and nuclear sites. The Iranian authorities have confirmed that the attacks killed Major General Hossein Salami, the commander of Iran’s elite Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), and Major General Mohammad Bagheri, the chief of staff of the Iranian Armed Forces. Several media outlets have claimed that several other high-ranking Iranian military commanders and nuclear scientists also perished.

As US President Donald Trump gears up for the first major military parade in the US in decades, protesters are planning "No Kings" events all over the country on Saturday.

The death squad then slipped out of Turkey on two charter planes owned by Saudi Arabia’s sovereign wealth fund.

The Dark Enlightenment Coup

The commercial or mainstream press is a megaphone for the ruling class. It genuflects before establishment politicians, generals, intelligence chiefs, corporate heads and hired apologists who carried out the corporate coup d’état that created our system of inverted totalitarianism.

The corporate structures that have a stranglehold on the country and have overseen deindustrialization and the evisceration of democratic institutions, plunging over half the country into chronic poverty and misery, are in the eyes of legacy journalists unassailable.

The US Defense department is reviewing the 2021 AUKUS submarine deal with the UK and Australia, the Financial Times reported earlier. The review is being led by Elbridge Colby, a senior defense official known for his past skepticism of the pact.

The Pentagon is taking a hard look at its role in the AUKUS alliance to make sure it fits squarely within the Trump administration’s “America First” agenda, according to a Department of Defense spokesperson.

“We’re reassessing AUKUS to ensure this carryover from the last administration aligns with the president’s priorities,” the spokesperson said.

As a programme partner, Australian businesses are supplying components for the entire F-35 fleet, not just Australian aircraft. Every F-35 built contains some Australian parts and components.

In total, more than 70 Australian companies have been awarded export contracts valued at AU$4.13 billion. These contracts will provide more than 3,000 high-tech manufacturing jobs for Australian industry.

The high-tech industry jobs contribute to economic growth in cities around Australia, setting up the industrial base with the technology transfer required to remain competitive in the global aerospace marketplace well into the future.

Britain’s defence secretary, John Healey, walked through oncoming traffic to escape questions about why the UK is still sharing military intelligence with Israel.

Healey told Declassified he had “nothing more to add” about the hundreds of Royal Air Force (RAF) surveillance flights over Gaza.

The flights have continued despite Keir Starmer’s government placing sanctions on two far-right Israeli ministers whose roles include national security and defence.

Healey was questioned about the flights after leaving a cabinet meeting in Downing Street yesterday. 

Flanked by two security guards, he narrowly avoided a lorry as he hurried across Whitehall towards his office in the Ministry of Defence.  

When first asked about the RAF’s spy flights, the defence secretary responded by simply saying “good morning”.
