President Trump’s highly anticipated 250th Army anniversary parade in Washington D.C. was meant to be a patriotic spectacle—but it fell flat. Despite tanks, military flyovers, and millions spent, the streets were shockingly under-attended. Meanwhile, tens of thousands of anti-Trump protesters flooded cities across the U.S., chanting “No Kings” and calling for his ouster. The contrast was jarring: as Trump delivered a brief 8-minute speech calling the U.S. “the hottest country,” political violence rocked Minnesota and national tensions surged. Is this a celebration—or a country in crisis?

In a bold Truth Social post, Donald Trump warned Iran not to target U.S. military bases following Israeli strikes on Iranian defense HQs and oil facilities. While denying U.S. involvement in the overnight attacks, Trump issued a stark threat of overwhelming military force if Iran retaliates. Simultaneously, he claimed he could “easily” broker peace between Israel and Iran. As exchanges intensify—marked by Iran’s use of the Fattah-1 hypersonic missile—fears of a wider war escalate across the region.

In a dramatic escalation of the Iran-Israel conflict, Israel is now demanding that the United States join its military campaign by launching direct strikes on Iran’s nuclear and military infrastructure — specifically the heavily fortified Fordo uranium enrichment site. Axios reports confirm that Israel has formally requested U.S. military support, but the Trump White House is holding back… for now.
