WW3 FEARS EXPLODE: U.S Deploys ‘Dark Eagle’ & Typhoon Missiles in Germany| Putin Vows ‘Consequences’

he U.S. has deployed Dark Eagle hypersonic missiles and Typhoon systems in Germany, sparking WW3 fears across Europe. Capable of striking targets over 3,000 km away, these weapons are aimed at deterring Russia amid rising NATO tensions. In response, Russia revoked its missile moratorium and threatened NATO allies with the deadly Oreshnik missile. With deployments planned in Asia too, including Australia and the Philippines, the U.S. missile strategy is reshaping global military balance. Putin warns of escalation, as both sides gear up for potential confrontation in Europe and beyond. #WW3 #DarkEagle #TyphoonMissile #USMilitary #Russia #NATO #Putin #MissileDeployment #HypersonicMissile #Germany #NATOVsRussia #UkraineWar #DefenseNews #MilitaryBuildUp #GlobalTensions #Mach5Missiles #StrikeRange #RussiaWarning #NATOWar #ColdWar2 #PutinThreat #OreshnikMissile #USArmy #MissileEscalation #EuropeDefense #ArmsRace #NATONews #USvsRussia #MilitaryCrisis #USAsiaDefense ~HT.318~GR.122~

U.S Fires 150 THAAD Missiles During Iran War, Burning Through $1.9 billion in Just 12 days [Video]

U.S Fires 150 THAAD Missiles During Iran War, Burning Through $1.9 billion in Just 12 days

During the recent 12-day war between Iran and Israel, the United States fired over 150 THAAD interceptors, exhausting nearly 25% of its total stockpile and racking up costs estimated at $1.9 billion. While the U.S. deployed its most advanced missile defense systems to shield Israeli territory, dozens of Iranian missiles still struck their targets — raising alarming questions about the limits of missile defense saturation and America’s readiness for future conflicts. The Pentagon now faces a growing stockpile crisis, with only 11 THAAD missiles produced in 2024 and a slow ramp-up planned for 2025 and 2026. As tensions continue to rise across the Middle East and Asia, the strategic shortfall of THAAD interceptors is being watched closely by major powers like China and Russia. This report includes archival visuals of Trump-era THAAD deployments, Iranian missile attacks, and exclusive coverage of defense developments as the U.S. military reassesses its global missile defense posture. #THAAD #IranIsraelWar #MissileDefense #Pentagon #USMilitary #IranMissiles #DefenseNews #MiddleEastConflict #ChinaThreat #IsraelUnderAttack #BallisticMissiles #MissileStrike #USvsIran #MilitaryBudget #Geopolitics

Europe BOILS: Portugal & Spain Near 110°F As Marine Heatwave GRIPS Europe | WMO Issues RED ALERT

Southern Europe is enduring a punishing heat wave as hot-air masses from Africa and the U.S. collide, pushing temperatures toward record-breaking levels. Portugal and Spain brace for highs over 109°F, while France, Italy, and Greece remain scorched. A marine heat wave in the Mediterranean is further amplifying the crisis. Experts link this extreme weather to human-driven climate change, warning that heat-related deaths have surged 30% in two decades. With 5 billion people projected to face dangerous heat annually by 2050, Europe’s heat crisis is a stark warning for the world. #EuropeHeatWave #ClimateCrisis #GlobalWarming #ExtremeWeather #HeatEmergency #PortugalHeat #SpainHeat #FranceHeatWave #MediterraneanHeat #WMO #ClimateAlert #RecordTemperatures #ClimateChange #HeatDeaths #BerlinHeat #ParisWeather #ItalyHeat #GreeceHeat #MarineHeatwave #ClimateWarning #GlobalHeatwave #Summer2025 #HotEurope #ClimateImpact #Heatwave2025 #PlanetCrisis #RisingTemperatures #EnvironmentalCrisis #UNClimate #WeatherAlert #HotPlanet ~HT.178~ED.102~GR.122~

Iran SHAKEN: 5.2 Earthquake HITS Near Iran’s Secret Space Centre | Nuclear Test Rumors RISE Again

A magnitude 5.2 earthquake struck northern Iran near the country’s space and missile complex, raising questions about its nuclear ambitions. The quake, recorded at a shallow depth of just 3 km, has fueled speculation of possible underground tests—especially given a similar quake during the Iran–Israel war. Iran sits on the seismically active Alpine-Himalayan belt, averaging over 2,100 quakes annually, but its proximity to sensitive sites is reigniting global concerns. Officials deny any nuclear link, insisting Tehran won’t negotiate under external threats. #Iran #Earthquake #IranQuake #NuclearSpeculation #MissileComplex #Tehran #SeismicActivity #IranIsraelTensions #MiddleEast #BreakingNews #IranNuclearProgram #Geopolitics #IranSpaceCenter #EarthquakeAlert #IranCrisis #IranMissileProgram #IranTensions #QuakeNews #IranNuclearDeal #WorldNews #IranMissileComplex #IranSeismicZone #NuclearDoubts #TehranNews #IranBreaking #IranNuclearSpeculation #EarthquakeUpdates #IranUnderWatch #IranSpeculation #IranConflict #IranNuclearAmbitions ~HT.410~GR.122~
