Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC, aka Sepah or Pasdaran) is at it again. Not quite three weeks after the official signing of the Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) between the United States of America and the Islamic Republic of Iran that was intended to get the ball rolling on ending the war between the two nations (not to mention Iran’s war with Israel), the IRGC has once again launched attacks against commercial shipping attempting to transit the vital Strait of Hormuz, once again casting doubts upon the peace negotiations’ long-term prospects for bearing fruit.

Published on Friday by the Government Accountability Office, the review highlights that three of the Pentagon’s ongoing hypersonic weapons programs are at risk of being delayed or delivering systems that have not been fully demonstrated.

Putin’s Next Crisis: The war in Ukraine has taken a toll on Russia. The country has suffered nearly a million and a half casualties. Attacks on its gas and oil infrastructure have caused widespread gas shortages in 56 of Russia’s 83 regions. The economy is teetering on the edge, and the news keeps getting worse.
Half a million Russian citizens went bankrupt in 2025, up 33 percent from the year before, as Russian President Vladimir Putin risks an “explosive” banking crisis, an intelligence report from an unnamed European country has warned.
The ‘Viking Row’ continues to take
Delivering timely military data to warfighters in the air, at sea or on the battlefield has almost always meant bridging insurmountable technical chasms. That’s starting to change as defense leaders shift their perspective on what it means to operate “at the edge.”
“The edge no longer just means that literal front line of the battlefield. It really is where airmen and guardians are operating and conducting their day-to-day business operations.
