US Considers Idea of Special Operation to Seize Iranโ€™s Uranium The strikes on atomic facilities last June complicated the task of tracking the Islamic Republicโ€™s stockpile.

Not since the 1930s has a political leader created so much chaos in such a short time for so many people around the world โ€“ and it has only just begun. A โ€œspecial operationโ€ in uranium is now being considered by Trump.

Kurdish opposition mulls whether to trust Trump after Iran uprising call Iranian Kurds weigh risks of fighting government, uncertain of US and Israeli support for any uprising.

The Kurds may have good reason to think twice. The Kurds were abandoned by the United States in 1991 in connection with the first Gulf War, and in 2019 in Syria after Kurdish fighters were left facing a Turkish offensive without protection when American forces withdrew abruptly. aje.news/511mws

Instead of sending a hospital ship to Greenland and lecturing Europeans on how they should live, the Trump administration ought to focus on why the USA spends so much more per capita on healthcare, yet life expectancy in most European countries is still rising faster than in the United States.
