DOCKET ALERTS:   War Powers Resolution fails in both Houses of Congress.   DHS is ramping up for an immigration surge in Maryland and has purchased an 825,000-square-foot warehouse in Hagerstown. The state is suing to block the facility on environmental grounds. In Baltimore, Judge Julie Rubin joins judges in New York and Los Angeles in holding that ICE is systematically violating the Fifth Amendment rights of immigrants in "temporary" detention by holding them for days on end without hygiene, medical care, or access to counsel.   Kalshi customers have filed a class action suit over the company's refusal to pay out on bets — oops, we mean CONTRACT SWAPS — that Ayatollah Ali Khamenei would leave office as Supreme Leader of Iran before March 1.   Trump continues to defy the Constitution's requirement that he get Senate approval for principal officers. We discussed it in our post on Judge Lamberth holding that Kari Lake was never legally serving as head of the US Agency for Global Media, and thus her directives are null and void. And Judge Matthew Brann has ruled once again that Attorney General Pam Bondi can't evade senate confirmation for the US Attorney in New Jersey — no, not even if she spreads the appointment out among three lawyers, not just one.    And we'll talk about the Trump administration's humiliating U-turn as it tries to un-dismiss the appeal in the case of the executive orders targeting law firms, as well as Anthropic's complaint against the government. Turns out, defying Trump can be good for business!   Subscriber Bonus: The Trump administration just dismissed the antitrust suit against Live Nation mid-trial for, uh, reasons.    ICE awards $113 million to build out Hagerstown detention center https://www.thebanner.com/politics-power/national-politics/ice-hagerstown-detention-center-contract-AHIV2KEHQJAVFMWBYKO2YBWOCU/   Maryland v.

On February 28, 2026, the United States and Israel launched military strikes against Iran. Over 100 aircraft dropped bombs on strategic targets, and more than 850 Tomahawk missiles were launched from US Navy destroyers and submarines. Over forty top Iranian military commanders were killed in the opening attack, along with supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei. Iran's response was immediate. Hundreds of missiles and thousands of drones were launched at targets throughout the region. The Strait of Hormuz was effectively closed, causing a shipping bottleneck that sent shockwaves in oil prices around the world. What's behind the current conflict between Iran and the United States? Where does Iran fit in biblical prophecy? And how will it affect you and me? We'll address these important questions today on Tomorrow's World.

Iran accused the United States of breaching their ceasefire on Tuesday. It warned it was ready to retaliate after overnight US strikes targeting Iranian missile sites and mine-laying boats.

It's Tuesday, May 12th, A.D. 2026. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard on 140 radio stations and at www.TheWorldview.com.  I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Kevin Swanson and Timothy Reed Muslims severed hands of Christian convert Muslims are persecuting more Christians in Uganda, Africa even though Islamists make up only 13% of the population.    A Christian convert was subjected to the severing of both hands when his family found out about his attending Christian services.  Morning Star News reports that 40-year-old Kalegeya Faruku is still undergoing medical treatment from the ordeal that occurred at his family home in Jinja three weeks ago. Please, pray for the persecuted. North Korea will use nukes if Kim Jong Un is assassinated South Korea's National Intelligence Service has just disclosed North Korea's change in policy on the use of nuclear weapons.   As of March 22nd, the North Korean government revised its constitution to command a nuclear strike if the nation's leader, Kim Jong Un, is assassinated, reports the New York Post. The policy change came after Iran's Ayatollah Ali Khamenei was killed by a military strike on February 28, 2026. Big shake-up in the United Kingdom parliament The Reform UK Party made major gains in last week's regional elections in the United Kingdom.  Even though it was not a national election, the Reform Party came out with 30% of the seats while the Conservative Party represents 17%.  The remaining 53% are divvied up by the more left-wing parties:  22% for Labour, 18% for Liberal Democrats, and 12% for the Greens. The right turns more nationalist and populist. The left remains, well, I guess we can say -- left. For the record, the Labour Party lost 18%, and the Conservatives lost 7% in the political bloodbath. Reform Party leader Nigel Farage hailed the wins against both the Labour Party and establishment conservatives. Listen. FARAGE:  “This is a celebration! And what a remarkable couple of days this has been. We're seeing some truly historic shifts in voting patterns in parts of this country --  things, frankly, I could never have dreamt that we'd see. … “Getting elected to public office does carry a burden of responsibility, and that burden of responsibility is because people have placed their faith and their trust in you. And they've done it at a time when I don't think faith, belief and trust in our leaders and our politicians has ever been at a lower level in our country.” Let's all remember: “God is the judge: He puts down one, and sets up another.” (Psalm 75:7) Virginia Supreme Court overturns Democrat redistricting In a 4-3 ruling on May 8th, the Virginia Supreme Court rejected the state's new Congressional maps, which could have given Virginia Democrats ten seats, leaving the Republicans with only one in the U.S. Congress. Republican State Senator Ryan McDougle celebrated the decision, while also blasting Democrats for trying to go around the law. MCDOUGLE:  “You cannot violate the Constitution in order to change the constitution. The Supreme Court made that clear. Voters had a choice of what was on the ballot. Voters did not have a choice of whether the constitutional law was followed.” Virginia Democrats are planning to appeal the decision to the U.S. Supreme Court, but it is unclear if they will even get a hearing.  Value of gold and the price of an average home Back in 1971, when gold was $35 an ounce, you could pay for a median-priced home with 714 ounces of gold. Now that gold prices are hovering around $4,700 per ounce, a median-priced home would cost you about 85 ounces of gold. Does the number of mortgage lenders reveal troubled economy? Since 2022, employees working for non-bank mortgage lenders have dropped by 40%. That's the lowest level in recorded history, even lower than the 2009-2010 housing crash.  Wolfstreet.com reports that existing home sales have reached the lowest level since 1995.

The U.S. scamming “industry” hit $16 billion last year, up 22% compared to the previous year.  That's four times the value of property stolen in burglaries. Be informed. Protect your family from this criminal activity. The most common scams include the “advanced fee” scam where you're promised some kind of benefit -- a government grant, an inheritance, or some prize with a catch. They ask for a payment up front before you can receive your benefit.  Or there is the “tech support” scam.  You receive a call or a message online from what appears to be a company like Microsoft or some anti-virus company. They tell you they can fix the problem for a fee lest you lose all your data. Some scams will phish for your data, asking for your Social Security number, credit card number, bank account info, or passwords. Whatever you do, do not give out that data, even if they claim to be from a trusted source, Emergency scams or grandparent scams. The voice pretends to be a grandchild or close relative with a problem.  . . They may use a familiar phone number on the caller ID, and drop some information they found about the person on the internet. Remember, caller IDs can be easily faked. Just ask a few questions. They will ask for money. Don't give it to them, without asking a few questions to confirm the identity first. Then there are the IRS and FBI scammers, the toll road scammers, the foreign money exchange scammers, the counterfeit cashier's check scam, and banking scams.  Customers are told to move their money to a safer account. Scammers are almost always working on emotions, getting you frazzled, so you will make a quick and imprudent decision. Micah 6:10-12 speaks of this: “Are there yet the treasures of wickedness in the house of the wicked and the short measure that is an abomination? Shall I count pure those with the wicked scales, and with the bag of deceitful weights?  For her, rich men are full of violence. Her inhabitants have spoken lies and their tongue is deceitful in their mouth.” Close And that's The Worldview on this Tuesday, May 12th, in the year of our Lord 2026. Follow us on X or subscribe for free by Spotify, Amazon Music, or by iTunes or email to our unique Christian newscast at www.TheWorldview.com.  Plus, you can get the Generations app through Google Play or The App Store.

Shocking reversals, viral clips, and political moments the media won't explain. Michigan Democrat Senate candidate, Abdul El-Sayed refuses to answer questions about Ayatollah Ali Khamenei— doubles down - and the backlash is explosive. Dems caught on tape! Old footage of Bill & Hillary Clinton, Chuck Schumer, Obama, and Nancy Pelosi is resurfacing that exposes insane hypocrisy leaving people asking: what changed? Meanwhile, a viral Donald Trump's Iran rhetoric is setting the internet on fire, astronaut Victor Glover delivers a message from space that's hitting millions, and gas prices in California are surging—putting Gavin Newsom under intense scrutiny. Drop a comment and let us know how you are feeling about Trump's Easter tweet. Glovers message of unity. Newsom's gas policy. And the mind boggling hypocrisy of the shape shifting democrats.

Dana explains how people who are telling you that the U.S. is losing have a political objective. Did Tucker Carlson's son leak the details of a phone call between JD Vance and Netanyahu? Dana shares a flashback clip of Trump's commentary in 1987 talking about Iran to show his consistency on the issue. A Michigan Democrat Senate candidate told campaign staffers he wanted to avoid issuing any public statement about the assassination of Ayatollah Ali Khamenei because “Dearborn is sad” over the death of the Ayatollah. Southwest is getting criticized for implementing a “fat tax”. Israeli police block Catholic figures from the Palm Sunday Mass at Jerusalem's Holy Sepulchre while Pope Leo used his Palm Sunday mass to slam Trump's decision to strike Iran.Thank you for supporting our sponsors that make The Dana Show possible…GhostBedhttps://GhostBed.com/DANAGhostBed has the cooling luxury mattress you need for deep sleep use code DANA for the lowest prices + 10% off sitewide.Jones Roadhttps://www.JonesRoadBeauty.comJones Road Beauty—bring out your natural glow with a free Shimmer Face Oil on your first purchase using code DANA.American Financinghttps://AmericanFinancing.net/Dana or call 866-885-1332See how much you could be saving now with American Financing and get out from under that high-interest debt today. Disclaimer (for description, not read aloud)NMLS 182334, nmlsconsumeraccess.org.

U.S. intelligence agencies recently briefed President Trump that Iran's new supreme leader, Mojtaba Khamenei, may be gay, based on human-source intelligence viewed as credible by spy agencies. The reports indicate that Mojtaba had a long-term relationship with a man close to the family and allegedly made advances toward male caregivers while hospitalized after the airstrike that killed his father. President Trump was stunned by the intelligence and laughed aloud during the briefing, with others in the room also finding it hilarious. The late Ayatollah Ali Khamenei was said to have feared his son's suitability to rule the Islamic Republic partly for this reason, according to the same intelligence assessment.

Iran's top security official has been "eliminated." That's according to Israel's defense minister, who says Ali Larijani was killed in a targeted IDF strike. Larijani was one of Iran's top decision makers, some calling him the de facto leader since the assassination of his former boss, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei. Larijani's killing, if confirmed, plunges the nation, and its future, into even more uncertainty.  Correspondent Jomana Karadsheh reports on the people caught between foreign bombs and a repressive regime.  Also on today's show: Karim Sadjadpour, Senior Fellow, Carnegie Endowment for International Peace; former Afghan lawmaker Fawzia Koofi; Heidy Khlaaf, Chief AI Scientist, AI Now Institute    Learn more about your ad choices.

President Trump fired Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem Thursday. The Wall Street Journal’s Michelle Hackman breaks down the factors that went into the decision. Iran’s next leader could be a son of Ayatollah Ali Khamenei. Parisa Hafezi, Iran bureau chief for Reuters, joins to discuss why that might frustrate some Iranians. The Formula 1 season kicks off in Australia this weekend. Apple News Sports editor Shaker Samman explains how new rule changes might change things on the track. Plus, the Justice Department published some missing Epstein files related to Trump, a curling scandal hit the Paralympics, and the new regulation United Airlines hopes will make your flight a little more peaceful.

On February 28, both the United States and Israel attacked Iran, killing Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, the nation's Supreme Leader, along with other political leaders and government officials, destroying various military targets, and bombing a girls elementary school that took at least 175 lives, many of them children. Just under a week into the war, where are we? Why did Trump decide to attack Iran now? What reasons did they give, and were any of them plausible? What have the consequences been so far? And what can Democrats do to fight back? To answer these questions, we had on Matt Duss, executive vice president of the Center for International Policy and a former foreign policy adviser to Bernie Sanders. Other topics include: Michael Ledeen and the right's fixation on Iran; Ronald Reagan, Jimmy Carter, and the Iranian hostage crisis, and more.  Sources: Matthew Duss, "War With Iran Would Be Illegal and Stupid.

Operation Epic Fury / Rising Lion: Inside the U.S. / Israel Strike on Iran | war powers, nuclear threat, regional fallout, and consequences at home. a coordinated U.S. and Israeli strike — hit more than 1,000 Iranian military and nuclear-linked targets, killing Ayatollah Ali Khamenei and triggering immediate retaliation across the region. In this episode, we break down what led to the strike, the administration's red lines, and the intelligence claims surrounding Iran's uranium enrichment. We examine the latest IAEA findings, Tehran's 60% enriched uranium stockpile, and the debate over whether Iran was truly days from a nuclear breakout — or whether diplomacy still had runway. We also tackle the constitutional question head-on: Did the President violate the War Powers Resolution? We walk through the legal framework, historical precedent, executive authority, congressional notification requirements, and what critics on Capitol Hill are arguing versus what the administration claims is firmly within presidential power. Beyond the missiles and airstrikes, we explore the deeper regional fault line shaping this conflict — the 1,400-year-old Sunni–Shia divide. Iran as the dominant Shia power. The Sunni Gulf monarchies calculating survival. Hezbollah's entry into the fight. The internal Muslim conflict that predates modern borders — and why it still dictates alliances, proxy wars, and regional escalation today. We break down the global chessboard: Israel's security calculus, Gulf state vulnerability, NATO positioning, China's oil dependency, Russia's military coordination with Tehran, and what this means for great-power competition. Then we analyze reactions at home — on both sides of the aisle. Democrats raising constitutional and escalation concerns. Progressives framing the strike as Western interventionism. Libertarians warning of endless war and blowback. Conservatives divided between America First restraint and muscular deterrence. Who supports it. Who opposes it. And why. We also examine the domestic consequences: • The Strait of Hormuz and rising oil prices • Inflation risk tied to energy markets • Terror retaliation and asymmetric threats • The power vacuum inside Iran — IRGC control, succession scenarios, and regime-change speculation Was this preemptive defense? Strategic decapitation? Or the start of a wider regional war? This is a full geopolitical and constitutional breakdown of Operation Epic Fury — separating intelligence from rhetoric, law from politics, and strategy from media spin. Like. Share. Subscribe.

On today's episode, Andy & DJ discuss Israel's conflict with Iran after the death of Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, the oversight committee releasing Bill and Hillary Clintons deposition videos, and Jim Carrey's interview at the French film awards. 

Two sitting heads of state, eight weeks apart. On Saturday, February 28, the United States and Israel launched a massive military assault on Iran that resulted in the death of Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, along with much of his senior command. This came less than two months after the United States military captured Nicolás Maduro, the president of Venezuela, in an overnight raid. The president seems to believe that he can decapitate these regimes and control their successors without events spinning out of his control. Is he right? Ben Rhodes is a New York Times Opinion contributing writer and a co-host of “Pod Save the World.” He served as a senior adviser to President Barack Obama and worked on the Iran nuclear deal. In this conversation, we discuss the ongoing conflict in Iran, how Democrats should respond, and whether Trump's “head on a pike” approach to foreign policy underestimates the chaos of war.

More To The Story: US and Israeli military strikes against Iran that killed several of the country's top officials, including longtime supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, have ushered in a new and unpredictable era in the Middle East. Within hours, Iran retaliated, striking US allies across the Persian Gulf, including US embassies and a military operations center in Kuwait. At least six US service members had been killed. In Iran, days of military strikes have reportedly killed hundreds of people, including dozens of girls at an elementary school. Davar Ardalan knows Iran inside and out.

She's also the author of My Name Is Iran: A Memoir, which highlights three generations of women living in both Iran and the US during times of revolution.

There have been strong reactions at the UN Security Council and on Capitol Hill. So who's now in charge of Iran? And what does this mean for the rest of the world?

The U.S. and Israel have launched an unprovoked attack on Iran striking sites across the country including the compound of Iran's Supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei. Iranian state media reports one Israeli strike hit an elementary girls' school in Minab killing at least 85 people including scores of children. Iran responded by launching attacks across the Middle East targeting Israel and U.S. military installations in the United Arab Emirates, Qatar, Kuwait, Bahrain and Jordan.

U.S. officials met with Iranian envoys in Switzerland Tuesday to negotiate the fate of Iran's nuclear program — and came away with a “set of guiding principles,” according to Iran's foreign minister. But trying to figure out what, exactly, each country wants in these talks is confusing at best. Both President Donald Trump and Iran's Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, have made not-so-veiled threats of military action toward the other country. So what, exactly, is everyone doing here? Do they want a deal – or a war?
