The moment you pick up the feather-light gadget, it’s easy to imagine holding it for hours, reading a book or watching a show. The mini is modern, and all screen, thanks to a new design that follows the iPad Pro and iPad Air. Losing the home button and top and bottom bezels allows it to have a larger screen while also making it physically smaller. It’s at its most ideal form, yet....
Iran has repeatedly denied that it provided drones to Russia, but this claim has been challenged by Western and Ukrainian officials and media reports. National security adviser Jake Sullivan initially told CNN in July that the U.S. had information that Iran was preparing to provide several hundred drones to Russia, including weapons-capable unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs). The Washington Post, citing unnamed U.S. officials, reported in August that Russia had picked up its first shipment of the UAVs and departed Iran with them on August 19....
In a statement, Iran’s Revolutionary Guards announced that “an English tanker named ‘stena impero’ was seized by a flotilla unit of the first naval zone while crossing the Strait of Hormuz due to non-observance of the laws and regulations at the request of the Ports and Maritime Organization of Hormozgan province.” The vessel was to have been “guided to shore” in preparation for “legal procedures” and “necessary inspections.” The news came less than a week after Iran seized a small Panamanian-flagged, UAE-based vessel called MT Riah for allegedly smuggling oil in the region and weeks after the U....
While the drones were Iranian and it appears that the country aided their use against the base, officials said they were not launched from Iran, according to the AP. U.S. and coalition troops are stationed at al-Tanf in southern Syria to help train Syrian forces looking to counter militants from the Islamic State group. Officials said that as many as five drones with explosive charges hit the U.S. side of al-Tanf, as well as the side of the base where Syrian opposition forces are located....
U.S. forces are taking steps to protect themselves after witnessing an increase of flights of unmannedaerial vehicles or drones. Some are conducting operations involving “C4i,” a term referring to command, control, communications, computers and intelligence, near American positions in the region, according to members of the U.S. military and intelligence community who spoke to Newsweek under condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to discuss matters publicly. American officials told Newsweek such activity indicates that Iran-friendly regional militias acting at the behest of the Quds Force, the expeditionary arm of the elite Revolutionary Guard, were conducting reconnaissance potentially in preparation for future attacks using suicide drones....
Though sparked by a spike in fuel prices, the explosion of anger has been a long time coming. Iranians are living under an authoritarian regime while battling falling living standards and a faltering economy, exacerbated by crippling American sanctions levied to stifle Tehran’s nuclear program and regional influence. Hundreds—perhaps more than 1,000 according to U.S. authorities—of dissenters have been cut down in the streets by regime gunmen. Human rights groups accuse the authorities of hiding away the bodies of the dead to conceal the true death toll while throttling internet to prevent survivors communicating with each other and the world....
In a video posted Thursday by the media wing of Al-Hashd Al-Shaabi, or Popular Mobilization Forces, an Iraqi state-sponsored group of militias with ties to Iran, fighters of the 12th Brigade can be seen shooting an anti-aircraft gun at what was said to be “a reconnaissance aircraft flying over the headquarters of the brigade in the Baghdad Belts” that connect the capital to the suburbs. “It appears that the air defenses of Al-Hashd thwarted the mission of the enemy aircraft,” an accompanying statement read....
That’s why the Blackhawk flies fast and low, says Lt. Gen. David Petraeus, shouting over the roar of the engine. By painful experience, pilots have learned the insurgents won’t have time to fire if the helicopter skims the tops of buildings, appearing and disappearing quickly. Although 22 helicopters have gone down in this war, only two have been lost in the past couple of months. (As Petraeus explains this, he looks around for a piece of wood to tap, but there’s only metal and nylon....
Moulton made his comments while speaking to CNN’s Jake Tapper on Friday. The two discussed Moulton’s criticisms about the “inadequate” number of remaining American military troops assisting with the evacuation of Afghan allies and U.S. citizens still trapped in the country. “That we’re counting on the Taliban not to attack our forces on the ground it’s extraordinary that we’ve put ourselves in this position,” Moulton said. “I spent all night, communicating with Afghans, with Afghan-Americans, with people on the ground trying to get to the airport gate and unable to do so....
Shayk’s Instagram story is being discussed widely online as she posted a picture of food with the caption “Russianzz,” and many are seeing it as support for Russia’s war effort in Ukraine. She has yet to comment further on the post, or respond to the multiple accusations made against her. Newsweek has reached out to Shayk for further comment. Despite many online suggesting that Shayk is endorsing the Russian aggression, the model has formerly voiced her opposition to the war....
With just three minutes remaining in the tie, the odds on another goal being scored in the game were significantly better than the odds of no further goals being scored thanks to the vast amounts of bets on over 3.5 goals being scored. Longford scored a controversial goal in the final moments to see the game finish 3-1, with Athlone goalkeeper Igor Labuts heavily criticised for not doing more to keep the ball out of the net....
Varadkar made the comments Thursday during a speech marking the release of a government progress report on the country’s climate action plan. The prime minister claimed that climate change presents a “ledger” containing “downsides” which outweigh benefits, but that aspects of the phenomenon could also benefit Ireland and “we need to be aware of them too.” “One thing we definitely face as a result of climate change is a warmer winter,” said Varadkar....
Documentarian Ford Fischer tweeted a screenshot of the IRS careers website, which included mentions of “irregular hours” and being on-call 24 hours in addition to holidays and weekends. It also cited the IRS’ Criminal Investigation team—described as “the law enforcement branch of the IRS”—which requires special agents to “combine accounting skills with law enforcement skills to investigate financial crimes.” At the time of Fischer’s tweet, the IRS website’s job description for special agents included the requirement that they be able to carry a firearm and be willing to use deadly force if necessary....

The Yankees outfielder then became a free agent at the end of the season and there were plenty of suitors who wanted the 30-year-old on their roster. Despite being sounded out by a number of teams, Judge admitted that there was only one place he wanted to be, and that was staying with the Yankees. He signed a $360 million, nine-year deal but said that there would be no signature on any dotted lines without the backing of his wife, Samantha Bracksieck....
When the Journal reached out for comment, they were met with derision.
In last week’s other Justice Department scandal, Sessions, halfway through his 10-year term, was charged with a raft of ethical violations that read like Leona Helmsley’s Greatest Hits. After a six-month investigation, the department’s ethics office said Sessions, 62, repeatedly flouted regulations on the use of FBI aircraft, cars, money and personnel. He’s accused of making his bodyguards fly a load of firewood from upstate New York to Washington, having his wife driven around town for shopping and personal errands, taking his wife along on a plane to 111 locations, getting reimbursed for a jaunt in the French countryside and using $9,890 in government funds to build a fence at his home despite several warnings that the fence actually impeded security....
