TRUMP’S Bold Iran Strikes Spark Heartfelt Plea From Pope LEO
— Pope Leo spoke out on Sunday about the rising tension in the Middle East. He shared his worries after President Trump’s powerful strikes on Iran’s nuclear sites. While he didn’t mention the attacks by name, he warned that war brings more pain and suffering.
He said, “No military victory can ever compensate for a mother’s pain, a child’s fear, or a stolen future.” The Pope urged leaders to work harder for peace and stop things from getting worse.
Pope Leo asked world leaders to act with responsibility and calm. He warned that peace should not be lost because of weapons or angry words.
He finished by urging countries to pick talks over fighting. According to him, people everywhere are desperate for peace right now.
REFORM UK SHOCKS Britain: Poll Surge Leaves Labour and Conservatives Reeling
— Reform UK just hit a record 34 percent in the latest Ipsos poll, beating both Labour and the Conservatives. This is the highest number ever for Reform, a party many critics once called “populist.” If these numbers stay strong, Reform could even top Labour’s win from last year.
Labour, led by Sir Keir Starmer, has dropped to only 25 percent support. That’s their lowest since 2019. Most people are not happy with Starmer — 73 percent are unhappy with him personally and 76 percent don’t like how his party is doing. Only 19 percent say they’re satisfied with him as prime minister.
The Conservative Party is doing even worse. Their support has fallen to just 15 percent — the lowest Ipsos has ever recorded for them. Tory leader Kemi Badenoch isn’t connecting either, with only 11 percent of voters approving of her job so far.
According to The Telegraph, if things keep going this way, Nigel Farage and Reform UK could win Britain’s next general election. Farage may soon be prime minister — a huge shift in British politics that few saw coming.
ISRAEL SHUTS Airspace in Bold Move After US Strikes Iranian Nuclear Sites
— Israel closed its airspace to all flights on Sunday after the United States hit Iranian nuclear sites. This strong response shows Israel is serious about stopping Iran’s nuclear program, and now America is stepping in directly.
Iran says there’s no radioactive danger at the sites that were targeted, including Isfahan, Fordo, and Natanz. Officials claim their detectors found no leaks and people living nearby are safe.
The International Atomic Energy Agency backed this up. They reported no release of radioactive material after earlier Israeli strikes on similar locations.
Tensions are running high across the Middle East. Many now worry these attacks could spark a much bigger conflict in the region.
BIDEN’S Economy In Chaos: Americans Angry as Inflation Skyrockets, Markets Crash
— Inflation in the U.S. just soared 4.8% in a single month — the biggest jump in more than ten years. Stock markets tumbled, with the Dow Jones down over 300 points and the S&P 500 falling too. Families across America are feeling real pain as prices rise and savings disappear.
Many experts blame recent Federal Reserve rate hikes for making things worse instead of fixing inflation. Critics say Biden’s team is mishandling both spending and money policy during this crisis.
Republican leaders now want Congress to hold an emergency session to tackle these economic threats head-on. Some independent analysts warn that if nothing changes soon, a recession could be next.
Unemployment claims jumped by 15% this week alone, hitting factory and retail workers hardest. The Treasury Secretary says they’re keeping an eye on things and may step in again, but many doubt if current leadership can turn this mess around.
STONEHENGE SUNRISE Wows Thousands: Ancient Power and Modern JOY Collide
— Thousands gathered at STONEHENGE on Saturday to watch the summer solstice sunrise. This yearly event lets visitors walk among the ancient stones, a rare treat since they are usually off-limits.
English Heritage said about 25,000 people showed up in person, while over 400,000 watched online. Druids, pagans, tourists, and locals all joined in to welcome summer during a record heatwave across the U.K.
Stonehenge was built around 2,500 B.C., with stones hauled from as far away as northern Scotland and southwest Wales. The site still draws crowds from around the world for its deep history and mystery.
IRAN REGIME Meltdown: Shocking Uncertainty Looms for Middle East
— Iran’s hardline regime is under intense pressure after Israeli strikes hit major military and nuclear sites. Exiled opposition leader Reza Pahlavi says the government’s grip is slipping fast. “Sources inside Iran say that the regime’s command and control structures are collapsing at a rapid pace,” he warned.
Experts say the fall of Iran’s rulers could bring chaos, not freedom. Behnam Taleblu from the Foundation for Defense of Democracies explained, “The better words are evolution and devolition,” warning that sudden change in this region often leads to more danger, not less.
Both Iranian dissidents and Western leaders seem unprepared for what comes next. Taleblu criticized their lack of planning: “By not being able to articulate the necessary political strategy... we are most unprepared.”
Beni Sabti from Israel’s Institute for National Security Studies described four possible outcomes if Iran collapses — one could be much worse than others. As instability spreads, world leaders must act quickly before things spiral out of control.
STONEHENGE SUMMER Solstice Shock: 25,000 Brave Heat for Ancient Ritual
— About 25,000 people showed up at Stonehenge before sunrise on Saturday to celebrate the summer solstice. This is one of the rare times each year when visitors can walk right up to the ancient stones.
English Heritage said more than 400,000 others watched the event online. The gathering happened as Britain faced its first major heat alert since last fall.
Stonehenge is about 5,000 years old. Builders hauled its huge stones from places as far away as northern Scotland and southwest Wales.
Every year, people from all over travel to see this famous monument and take part in its age-old traditions.
COLORADO FIRE Horror: FBI Slams “Terrorism” Label On Attack
— A shocking fire attack in downtown Boulder, Colorado, left eight people hurt. Police say Mohamed Sabry Soliman, 45, from El Paso County, is the main suspect. The FBI now calls this a targeted act of terrorism and is working with local law enforcement.
Investigators are gathering evidence and talking to witnesses at the scene. Soliman is under guard in a hospital while doctors check his condition.
This comes as other major crime stories grip the nation — like Bryan Kohberger’s murder trial in Idaho and a federal push to stop fentanyl trafficking that led to several arrests.
Police warn that violent crimes by illegal migrants and new trends like “jugging” robberies are on the rise. Americans remain worried about public safety as these threats keep growing.
TRUMP’S Court Victory Shocks California: National Guard Power Grab Upheld
— A federal appeals court ruled Thursday that President TRUMP acted within his rights when he took control of the California National Guard during the Los Angeles protests. The court blocked a lower ruling that said Trump’s move was illegal because Governor Gavin Newsom did not approve it. This is the first time since 1965 a president has federalized a state’s Guard without the governor’s OK.
The Ninth Circuit judges said Trump had enough proof to send in troops, pointing to violent attacks on federal officers and property by protesters. The court noted that protesters pinned down officers, threw dangerous objects, and damaged buildings.
The panel clarified that presidents don’t have unlimited power over state Guards, but Newsom could not block Trump’s order — even if he wasn’t notified first as usually required by law.
This decision strengthens presidential power to protect federal interests during violent unrest — even if Democrat-led states like California try to resist.;
JUDGE’S Shocking Decision: Palestinian Protester Walks Free From ICE Detention
— A federal judge has ordered Mahmoud Khalil, a former Columbia University student, released from an immigration center in Louisiana. Khalil had been held since March after joining pro-Palestinian protests. The Trump administration wanted him deported.
Judge Michael Farbiarz said there was no proof that Khalil was a danger or likely to run away. He called the ongoing detention “highly unusual” for someone with no violent record and legal U.S. residency.
Khalil must give up his passport and cannot leave the country but will get his green card back. He can travel inside the U.S. only for family visits or court dates.
Secretary of State Marco Rubio says Khalil should still be expelled, warning that letting him stay could hurt America’s foreign policy interests.
EUROPEAN Ministers DELIVER Bold Warning Over Iran’S Nuclear Threat
— European leaders held tense talks with Iran’s foreign minister in Geneva on Friday. The meeting lasted over four hours as they pushed Iran to help end the war with Israel and drop its nuclear ambitions. Britain’s David Lammy made it clear: “Iran cannot have a nuclear weapon,” and urged Tehran to keep talking with the United States.
France and Germany backed this tough stance. They said there is no military answer to the conflict and pressed for real negotiations instead of more fighting. France’s Jean-Noël Barrot called on Iran to stop backing terrorist groups, free Western hostages, and come clean about its nuclear plans.
The talks also covered Iran’s support for Russia in Ukraine, especially through drone shipments, as well as concerns about its missile program. German Foreign Minister Johann Wadephul said the discussions were “serious,” but admitted that getting Iran to work with Washington is still very hard because Tehran blames America for Israel’s actions.
BIZZY AI Scores BIG WIN: €4 Million Boost Ignites European Expansion
— Bizzy, a tech start-up from Ghent, just landed €4 million to grow its AI sales platform across Europe. The funding round was led by Fortino Capital and included well-known tech leaders.
Bizzy’s tool uses artificial intelligence to scan public data from 34 million businesses and 76 million professionals in Europe. This makes finding new customers faster for sales teams by removing manual research and working with most CRM systems.
The company says its unique business data models put it among the top business intelligence providers in Europe. With this new cash, Bizzy plans to reach more private companies and public groups who need solid business info.
ISRAEL-IRAN Missile Attacks Spark Fear: Jerusalem Residents Stunned
— Missiles soared over Jerusalem as the fight between ISRAEL and IRAN hit a dangerous new level. People in the city watched in shock as sirens wailed and explosions filled the sky. Many families rushed to shelters, worried about what might come next.
Iran’s foreign minister, Abbas Araghchi, is now heading to Geneva. He plans to meet with European leaders for urgent talks on Friday. Iran’s state media confirmed these meetings are meant to discuss ways to calm things down.
Tensions have been building for weeks, with both countries trading threats and warnings. Now, many fear this could turn into something even bigger if world leaders do not step in soon.
Fox News will keep updating readers on this story through its liveblog as new details come out.
JOLLY RANCHER BAN Shocks UK Candy Lovers: “Unsafe” Label Sparks Outrage
— British regulators have slapped a ban on JOLLY RANCHER candies, calling them “unsafe to eat.” The U.K.’s Food Standards Agency (FSA) issued a warning on June 11 against all Jolly Rancher hard candies and some gummy types.
Officials say the treats contain certain hydrocarbons that break U.K. food laws. British shoppers are now being told not to buy or eat these classic American sweets.
This move shows the growing gap between U.S. and European food rules. American favorites like Jolly Ranchers are now under fire overseas, raising big questions about who gets to decide what’s safe — and what isn’t — for families around the world.
MINNESOTA SHOCK: “Police” Disguise Tricks Lawmakers in Deadly Attack
— A Minnesota man, Vance Luther Boelter, is accused of killing former state House Speaker Melissa Hortman and her husband. He also wounded Senator John Hoffman and his wife. Police say Boelter wore a fake police uniform, body armor, and carried a Beretta 9mm handgun during the attacks.
Boelter drove a black SUV with flashing lights and a “police” license plate to look like real law enforcement. His background in security work is raising big questions about how he got police gear so easily.
Acting U.S. Attorney Joseph H. Thompson described chilling footage showing Boelter pretending to be an officer to get inside before shooting. Even trained officers could have been fooled by his disguise, said former NYPD officer Bill Stanton.
Federal charges are expected soon as officials call this a “targeted” attack on public servants. The investigation continues into how someone with security ties pulled off such a shocking crime using police gear meant for trust and safety.
ISRAEL STRIKES Spark Fear in Tehran as Trump Urges Mass Evacuation
— Israel’s air campaign against Iran has hit a dangerous new point. Israeli forces told hundreds of thousands to leave central Tehran. Explosions shook the city, even near Iran’s state-run TV building. Panic spread quickly, and one TV anchor ran off live on air.
Former President Donald Trump spoke out online, saying, “IRAN CAN NOT HAVE A NUCLEAR WEAPON,” and called for people in Tehran to evacuate right away. His warning highlights growing fears about Iran’s nuclear plans and the safety of innocent families trapped in the fighting.
White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt said Trump is ending his G7 summit trip early because of rising tensions between Israel and Iran.
World leaders are watching closely as this crisis continues to unfold.
VIOLENCE ROCKS Migrant Camp: Chaos Surges as Illegal Crossings Hit Record
— Deadly violence broke out at the Loon-Plage migrant camp near Dunkirk this weekend. Two people died on Saturday, another lost their life on Sunday, and seven more — including a woman and child — were hurt. On Monday, an Iranian man was stabbed at the same camp.
Police have arrested a man and a 17-year-old boy for these attacks. The Salam Association says up to 2,000 migrants now live in camps around Dunkirk, turning it into a new hotspot for illegal crossings into Britain.
On Tuesday, chaos erupted near Calais when French police tried to stop hundreds of migrants from storming boats bound for England. Tear gas did not stop them as they rushed past officers shouting “England!”
So far this year, over 16,000 illegal migrants have crossed the Channel — breaking all previous records and up fifty percent from last year. French authorities rarely step in once boats are at sea, leaving British agencies to pick up migrants who then claim asylum after arriving from safe EU countries.
SHOCKING CYBERATTACK Paralyzes US Power Grids: Millions Left in the Dark
— A massive CYBERATTACK hit key infrastructure across several states, knocking out power grids and communication networks. Millions of Americans lost electricity and phone service, leaving families in the dark and unsure what would happen next. Emergency crews rushed to restore order as chaos spread.
Intelligence officials believe foreign hackers are behind this attack. The timing is troubling, coming just before important national security reviews. Federal cybersecurity teams jumped into action late on June 15, 2025.
Thankfully, no injuries have been reported so far. Still, this attack shows how weak parts of our infrastructure remain. The Department of Homeland Security is working with private companies to stop further damage.
President Trump called an emergency National Security Council meeting right away. The FBI and NSA are searching for who is responsible while the Department of Energy works around the clock to bring back power. Experts warn that unless America gets serious about cyber defense, next time could be even worse.
POLICE ABANDON Pacific Palisades: Residents Outraged as Anti-Trump Riots Spread
— On Saturday, Los Angeles police took down checkpoints in Pacific Palisades. These barriers had kept looters out since a fire on January 7. The city let non-residents back in just as anti-Trump protests nearby turned violent. LAPD Chief Jim McDonnell admitted he pulled officers away to deal with the riots.
Mayor Bass told locals that President Trump’s actions forced her to act. She blamed “federal escalation” for the unrest and said pulling police was necessary. Bass has often pointed at Trump instead of holding rioters or local leaders responsible.
Many residents are fed up with city leaders who won’t keep order or protect their homes. Critics say blaming federal law enforcement is just an excuse for failed leadership.
People living in Pacific Palisades now worry about their safety and property, feeling abandoned by those meant to protect them.
LOST TREASURE Ship Recovery Discovery Sparks Hope and Awe Off Ireland’s Coast
— Underwater experts say they have found the RECOVERY, a British treasure ship lost off Wexford, Ireland, in 1787. Marine specialist Edmond O’Byrne’s team made the find and shared details with Pen News. The ship vanished more than 200 years ago while carrying valuable cargo gathered by James Caulfeild and rare art owned by banker John LaTouche.
The RECOVERY was packed with marble, bronze, and other treasures from a European tour before it sank 85 miles south of Dublin. It had just stopped in London after leaving Italy. Six people died in the wreck, including the captain and two of his sons.
This discovery could shine a light on a forgotten piece of British and Irish history. The team is still searching the site for more proof to confirm that this is truly the lost treasure ship RECOVERY.
ISRAEL STRIKES Shake Iran: Nuclear Fears Ignite as Peace Talks Collapse
— Israel bombed targets across Iran for the third day in a row, hitting military and nuclear sites. Some Iranian missiles got past Israeli defenses and struck buildings deep inside Israel. Planned talks on Iran’s nuclear program fell apart as tensions soared.
A U.S. official said President Trump recently blocked an Israeli plan to assassinate Iran’s Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei. According to a Washington-based group, Israel’s strikes have killed at least 406 people in Iran and wounded more than 650.
Iran reported attacks on two oil refineries, raising fears about global energy supplies. The Israeli military told Iranians to leave arms factories, warning that more attacks could come soon.
Neither side is backing down. Explosions shook Tehran while sirens blared in Israel as both countries traded fire. Israel says its mission is to stop Iran from getting nuclear weapons — something it has tried to do for years.

US STRIKES SHOCK Iran: “Midnight Hammer” Delivers Devastating Blow To Nuclear Sites
— The U.S. military launched a surprise attack called “Operation Midnight Hammer” early June 22, 2025. American bombers, fighter jets, and submarines hit Iran’s main nuclear sites at Fordo, Natanz, and Isfahan. Pentagon leaders say the goal was to cripple Iran’s nuclear program without hurting civilians.
Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth said America does not want war but had to act to stop Iran from going further. The U.S. used powerful bunker-buster bombs and faced no direct fight from Iranian forces during the strike. Before the attack, American officials warned Tehran privately and pushed for talks instead of retaliation.
President Trump spoke after the operation and called it a “total obliteration” of Iran’s nuclear plans. He thanked Israel for its help in making the mission work but made clear that America is not looking for regime change or endless conflict.
Iran’s Revolutionary Guard has promised payback as world leaders worry about what comes next in the region. The Pentagon says its only aim was to stop Iran from building nuclear weapons — not start a new war — leaving Tehran under pressure as everyone waits for their response.
