Dozens of people were killed when Israeli special forces raided a border area searching for the body of a long-missing airman, Lebanese authorities said. The Lebanese army said in a statement that late Friday night, four Israeli military helicopters passed through Lebanese airspace and flew into the Lebanese-Syrian border area. Two helicopters then landed and there was “intense and widespread” shelling targeting nearby villages, the statement added.

Last weekend, North Korean state media accused the United States and Israel of launching a “war of aggression” against Iran, but did not report on Khamenei’s death, along with dozens of members of Iran’s supreme leadership. That omission was no accident. North Korea’s political system is built around the near-mythical authority and invulnerability of its leaders. Publicly broadcasting the violent removal of another supreme leader would set a dangerous precedent. It would remind North Koreans that even the most powerful people in a tightly controlled state can be tracked, targeted and eliminated. It’s not a story that North Korea has…

When Ring founder and CEO Jamie Siminoff decided to introduce Search Party, an AI-powered feature that uses Ring camera footage to help find lost dogs, in the company’s first Super Bowl commercial, he expected Americans to love it. Instead, a TV spot sparked a firestorm. Indeed, from the moment it aired in February, Siminoff made the rounds on CNN, NBC, and the New York Times, explaining that his critics fundamentally misunderstood what Ring was building. While he sat down with TechCrunch a few days ago to restate his claims and openly and unambiguously expressed his enthusiasm for reframing the narrative,…

After Mojtaba Khamenei was appointed as Iran’s new supreme leader, Iran’s key power centers, including the Revolutionary Guards, quickly rallied behind him, suggesting that his late father’s hard-line policies are likely to continue. The escalation of the conflict sent oil prices soaring above $100 a barrel on Sunday, the first time they have surpassed that level since Russia’s invasion of Ukraine in 2022. Other headings include: Mojtaba’s first moves: After Mojtaba Khamenei was chosen to succeed his murdered father Ali Khamenei as the country’s new supreme leader, all eyes are now on how he will lead Iran through one of…

James Vandal, 25, said his interest in becoming an electrician first sparked recently when a crew was redoing the wiring on the third floor of his home. “I asked them how I could get into that industry,” he said. Part of the appeal is working with your hands, he said. “At first I didn’t really know what I wanted to do. I went to college and then dropped out,” he said. “I bounced around from job to job for years until I finally landed a trade.” Vandal is currently enrolled at Rosedale Institute of Technology in Pittsburgh. After a 16-month…

We know that raising emotionally intelligent children will lead to future success. The challenge is that many of us have never been taught those skills ourselves.Growing up, many of us have heard phrases like “stop crying,” “calm down,” and “cheer up.” Over time, those messages taught us to suppress our emotions rather than understand them. As adults and parents, we often find ourselves trying to teach emotional skills that we never had a chance to learn.However, today’s children can develop emotional intelligence through daily interactions with the adults around them. The conversations we have, the questions we ask, and the…

Moments after Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian said in an apparently prerecorded statement that Tehran would halt attacks on its Gulf neighbors under certain conditions, several reported new strikes. The launches were some of the largest since the war began and coincided with the one-week anniversary of Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei’s killing in strikes by the United States and Israel. Pezeshkian said the decision to stop attacks on the Gulf unless strikes on Iran originated from those countries’ territories was taken Friday. On Saturday morning, Iran fired 16 ballistic missiles and 121 drones on the United Arab Emirates alone. Still, in…

U.S. Energy Secretary Chris Wright pumps gasoline at a gas station in Corpus Christi, Texas, on February 27, 2026. Sheila Dunn | ReutersEnergy Secretary Chris Wright said oil and gas prices would begin to fall as the United States begins to eliminate Iran’s ability to disrupt tanker passage through the Strait of Hormuz, as the United States weathers a surge in gasoline prices due to the Iran war. “The plan is to get all the oil, natural gas, fertilizer, all the products from the Gulf through the Strait very soon,” Wright said on Fox News Sunday. “We have significantly depleted…
