War with Iran is raising serious questions about US foreign policy. Less than a year after criticizing past Middle East wars, President Donald Trump has launched a large scale assault on Iran, claiming it is necessary for security and “freedom.” Critics say this move contradicts his earlier promises to avoid new wars and reduce US involvement in the region.

Some analysts argue the conflict mainly benefits Israel and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who has long advocated for strong action against Iran. The war began while US - Iran negotiations were still ongoing, and many experts believe diplomacy was close to making progress.

Meanwhile, public opinion polls show that many Americans oppose another war in the Middle East. As tensions escalate and Iran responds by targeting US linked sites in the region, concerns are growing that this could turn into a long and unpredictable conflict, one that many Americans never wanted.

Fact Check: Viral claims saying Iran sank the U.S. aircraft carrier USS Abraham Lincoln are false.

The U.S. Central Command has denied the rumor multiple times, confirming the carrier was not hit and continues operations. No credible news outlets have reported such an event.

The circulating video is low quality and likely misleading, possibly edited or taken from a video game like Arma 3, a tactic often used in online propaganda.

Always verify viral war footage before sharing.

The U.S. Justice Department has released three previously missing FBI interview memos related to the Jeffrey Epstein investigation. The documents include unverified allegations from a woman who claimed Epstein abused her as a minor and also accused Donald Trump of sexual assault.

According to the files, the FBI interviewed the woman four times in 2019, but only one summary was initially included in the public Epstein files. Trump has strongly denied all allegations, and the White House called the claims “completely baseless” and lacking credible evidence.

The Justice Department says the documents were mistakenly excluded during the earlier release and is reviewing how the error happened.

Missile sirens returned to Manama, Bahrain on Thursday after about 16 hours of calm, as Iran launched more attacks targeting the island kingdom that hosts the U.S. Navy’s 5th Fleet.

Bahraini defenses have intercepted dozens of missiles and drones since the conflict began. One missile hit a state run oil refinery, causing a fire that was quickly extinguished, and the facility is still operating. No U.S. casualties have been reported.

The strikes are part of a wider regional conflict, with the U.S. and Israel reportedly hitting over 2,000 targets inside Iran while Iranian missile and drone attacks continue across the Middle East.

A UN fact finding mission has condemned the recent attacks by the United States and Israel on Iran, along with Iran’s retaliatory strikes, saying they violate the UN Charter. The UN also expressed shock over a strike on a girls’ school in Minab where many young students were killed.

Reports say more than 160 children have died, while civilians remain caught between the ongoing conflict and internal repression in Iran. The UN warned that continued strikes could also put prisoners and detainees at risk.
