Pentagon Findings Link U.S. Tomahawk Missile to Iranian School Massacre

A preliminary U.S. military assessment now admits American forces were likely behind the strike that leveled the Shajareh Tayyebeh girls’ school in Iran. While Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth maintains the U.S. doesn't target civilians, investigators are blaming a massive intelligence failure that misidentified the school as a military site. The February 28 strike, part of a joint operation with Israel, has turned the forensic evidence of U.S. munitions on the ground into a political nightmare that the Pentagon can no longer ignore.

Rubio to Testify in $50M Venezuela Influence Trial Involving White House Chief

Former U.S. Representative David Rivera is heading to a Miami courtroom this month to face charges that he acted as a secret agent for the Venezuelan government. Federal prosecutors say Rivera pocketed over $5.5 million from a massive $50 million contract designed to soften the U.S. stance on the Nicolás Maduro regime. While some initial reports suggested Secretary of State Marco Rubio was 'ensnared' in the scandal, he's actually showing up as the government’s star witness against his long-time political ally. The trial is set to pull back the curtain on a lucrative shadow industry where political fixers allegedly sold their proximity to power for foreign paydays, and it's already dragging in big names like White House Chief of Staff Susie Wiles.
