Why Iran is Obsessed with Destroying Israel: The Centuries Old Sunni-Shia Divide

https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2025/07/why-iran-is-obsessed-destroying-israel-centuries-old/

To understand Iran’s obsession with destroying Israel, one must look to the centuries-old sectarian rift within Islam between Shia and Sunni Muslims. Most Iranians are Shia Muslims, while worldwide about 90% of all Muslims are Sunni. Within this divide is the real basis for Iran’s relentless opposition to the Jewish state because, at its core, Iran’s obsession with Israel is about a Shia Muslim inferiority complex within Islam.

For centuries of Islamic history, Shia Muslims were persecuted minorities, politically sidelined and religiously denounced by Sunni rulers. This long-standing experience of marginalization fostered a deep sense of embattlement among Shias, and they developed what can be described as a religious and psychological inferiority complex.

RFK Jr. Unloads Disturbing Vaccine Secrets on Tucker—And Surprises Everyone on Trump (VIDEOS)

https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2025/07/rfk-jr-unloads-disturbing-vaccine-secrets-tucker-surprises/

It’s not every day an active HHS Secretary sits down for 90 minutes straight with Tucker Carlson.

But that’s exactly what happened, and Kennedy instantly seized Carlson’s attention with a chilling story of CDC corruption.

He revealed that the health agency buried a 1999 internal study led by researcher Thomas Verstraten, which showed an alarming 1135% increase in autism risk from the hepatitis B vaccine.

Kennedy said the researchers were “shocked” by the findings.

So what did they do? They covered it up, according to Kennedy.

“They got rid of all the older children essentially and just had younger children who are too young to be diagnosed [with autism].” Continue…

Moscow Forces Complete Conquest of Luhansk Region, One of the Cradles of the War, Fighting Since 2014 to Secede from Ukraine and Join Russia

https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2025/07/moscow-forces-complete-conquest-luhansk-region-one-cradles/

While the world is fixated on Middle East tensions, Russian forces continue pounding military and strategic targets all over Ukraine.

Having amassed an enormous cache of kamikaze drones and missiles, Moscow is methodically implementing its ‘war of attrition’.

As we have often discussed here on TGP, in this kind of warfare the main objective is not so much territorial gains, but rather a campaign to degrade the enemy’s capabilities to the point it can’t fight anymore.

The only reason why this ‘attrition’ took more than a few months to be accomplished is that the US under Biden and all the other western powers have flooded the Kiev regime with unprecedented amounts of military aid to the tune of half a trillion dollars – but now, three and a half years later, the Ukrainian capabilities are again on the brink of destruction.

To accomplish that, the Russians have now in June unleashed the strongest drone and missile strike campaign of the whole war. Continue…

https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2025/07/chinas-nuclear-force-buildup-direct-challenge-us-strategic/

China’s nuclear force expansion has fundamentally transformed the global strategic environment, according to senior congressional leaders who characterize Beijing’s modernization program as a shift from limited deterrent capabilities to comprehensive nuclear forces designed for strategic competition with the United States. By 2035, China aims to possess the world’s most powerful nuclear arsenal, surpassing that of the United States. Continue…

Europe’s Defense Reality Check: The Mathematics of Military Inadequacy

https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2025/06/europes-defense-reality-check-mathematics-military-inadequacy/

Following President Trump’s successful push for NATO allies to commit to spending 5% of GDP on defense by 2035, Europe now faces the potentially insurmountable challenge of reversing decades of military neglect. Building a force capable of defending the continent against Russia or China will be a massive undertaking, made even more difficult by declining birthrates, a shrinking workforce, and the political cost of maintaining generous welfare states and pacifist norms.

Chinese Drug Gangs Buying up Rural US Land, says new Tucker Carlson Documentary

https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2025/06/chinese-drug-gangs-buying-up-rural-us-land/

Today the Tucker Carlson network released a new 95 minute documentary from Maine’s Steven Robinson alleging that Chinese gang trafficking primarily in drugs, are buying up rural U.S. properties and turning them into drug labs.

This documentary builds on a great deal of reporting on China first featured at the Gateway Pundit, as well as Maine reporting done by Robinson at his site, TheMaineWire.com.

Most of the drugs appear to be marijuana, though since the windows of these properties are typically papered over, it’s impossible to know what’s in these locations. The documentary also alleges that there is evidence of human trafficking going on in many of these locations. Continue…

Oklahoma Ends Recommendation To Add Fluoride To Water

https://www.zerohedge.com/political/oklahoma-ends-recommendation-add-fluoride-water

The Oklahoma State Department of Health has removed its recommendation that fluoride be added to public water systems, joining a growing number of states that have rolled back similar guidance.

An archived version of the webpage states the department “supports community water fluoridation and recognizes the practice as safe, cost-effective and beneficial to all who drink and use the water.” The page now returns an error message.

“I’m instructing the Oklahoma Department of Health to stop recommending fluoride in our water,” Gov. Kevin Stitt, a Republican, said during a press conference on June 26. “Cities and water districts, they can still choose to do what they want, based on their constituents and the science, but it’s no longer going to be a recommendation from the state health department.”

An executive order issued by Stitt on the same day said that there is “growing public concern, evolving scientific research, and fundamental principle of informed consent that call into question the continued appropriateness of mandatory fluoridation of the public drinking water system, a practice historically supported by the State of Oklahoma as a means of promoting dental health.”

The order directs state health and environmental officials to “immediately cease any state-level promotion or endorsement of fluoridation of the public water supply.”

It also directs the officials to carry out a comprehensive review of all state policies and procedures related to adding fluoride to public water supplies. Continue…

Watch: Rare Footage Of Kim Jong Un Mourning Over Coffins Of DPRK Troops Killed In Ukraine War

https://www.zerohedge.com/geopolitical/watch-rare-footage-kim-jong-un-mourning-over-coffins-troops-killed-ukraine-war

In a surprising first, North Korea's state-run media aired footage on Monday showing leader Kim Jong-un mourning the deaths of North Korean soldiers, said to be killed while fighting in Russia's war in Ukraine as part of allied forces.

Primarily the estimated ten to fourteen thousand DPRK troops dispatched to assist Moscow fought in Russia's Kursk province, where they helped repel the over six-month Ukrainian occupation of the southern border oblast.

The broadcast, released by Korean Central Television, featured Kim solemnly placing a North Korean flag over a coffin during an emotion-laden and patriotic ceremony.

The occasion for the memorial footage was the return of the soldiers' remains from Russia, though no details were given as to the number of the deceased being remembered.

This was played before an audience attending joint cultural event hosted by North Korea and Russia in Pyongyang on Sunday. The footage was aired presumably for the first time publicly at this event.

This weekend marked the first anniversary of the signing of the two countries' "comprehensive strategic partnership" treaty. This served as the 'legal basis' on which the North Korean troop deployment to Russia happened. Continue…

British MPs Invite Deposed Shah's Son To Promote Iran Regime Change In Parliament

https://www.zerohedge.com/geopolitical/british-mps-invite-deposed-shahs-son-promote-iran-regime-change-parliament

The son of Iran's ousted shah is giving an address to British MPs in the UK parliament on Monday, numerous sources within parliament and the Labor Party have told Middle East Eye.

According to an invitation to the event seen by MEE, Pahlavi is set to brief MPs and peers on "the ongoing situation in Iran and his plan for the collapse of the current regime and for a stable transition to a secular democracy".

The event was set for 5pm in a committee room in parliament and is co-hosted by Labour MP Luke Akehurst and Conservative MP Aphra Brandreth.

Akehurst told MEE: "It is for the Iranian people to decide what type of government they want, but clearly MPs are going to be interested in hearing what different opposition voices have got to say about the future of such an important country." MEE also contacted Brandreth for comment.

Referred to among his supporters as a "king in exile", Reza Pahlavi, 64, is the eldest son of Mohammad Reza Pahlavi, the late shah of Iran, who was toppled during the 1977-1979 popular uprising that led to the establishment of the Islamic Republic as we now know it.

Ali Milani, chair of the Labor Muslim Network, told MEE that the planned event in the UK parliament is a "slap in the face of every Iranian fighting for freedom and justice".

Milani said that Pahlavi "has spent an entire career in exile refusing to condemn his father's oppressive regime."

He added: "Countless Iranians were disappeared, tortured and murdered at the hands of his father's secret police, which he has never properly acknowledged. "Leadership for the people of Iran must come from Iranians themselves on the ground. They deserve real freedom and prosperity." Continue…

Dosanjh asserted that without the courage to speak, extremism flourishes, jeopardizing historical Canadian values.

Dosanjh asserted that without the courage to speak, extremism flourishes, jeopardizing historical Canadian values. He told conference goers that politicians have failed to confront terrorism due to misinterpretations of multiculturalism for votes. Continue…

Canada's top Covid doc awarded Order of Canada for 'commitment to health equity'

https://thepostmillennial.com/canadas-top-covid-doc-awarded-order-of-canada-for-commitment-to-health-equity

Dr. Theresa Tam and Dr. Bonnie Henry, two key public health figures during Canada’s Covid-19 response, have been named Officers of the Order of Canada.

Their appointments were part of a broader group of 83 honorees announced by Governor General Mary Simon on April 17, following recommendations from the advisory council for the Order.

Dr. Tam, who recently completed her tenure as Canada’s chief public health officer, is being recognized for what the citation described as her “commitment to health equity” and her leadership during the Covid-19 pandemic. Dr. Henry, the current Provincial Health Officer for British Columbia, was commended for decades of public health service and her role in leading B.C.’s response to the pandemic.

However, Tam’s tenure was marked by controversy. Early in the pandemic, she advised against the public use of masks—only to later reverse course and advocate for their widespread use, including guidance on wearing masks outdoors while jogging and even during sexual activity. Continue…

BC Ferries bans certain EVs from sailing

https://www.westernstandard.news/news/bc-ferries-bans-certain-evs-from-sailing/65806

The corporation has also prohibited electric vehicle charging at terminals and on ships.

BC Ferries has banned certain electric vehicles from sailing in accordance with new guidance from Transport Canada.

Electric and hybrid vehicle charging is also now prohibited at terminals and on ships.

Battery-powered cars with major damage, such as exposed batteries, wiring issues, or fluid leaks, will not be allowed to board. Those with minor damage not interfering with the power system will have to be approved by the master of the vessel.

Inoperable electric vehicles, such as those being towed, are also barred from entry, however commercial car carriers will still be permitted so long as the contents is not damaged.

"To ensure passenger and crew safety, BC Ferries has recently updated its policy around the transport of electric vehicles due to the potential fire and environmental risks associated with damaged lithium-ion batteries," the corporation said in a statement, per Chek News.

"Lithium-Ion batteries are widely used, but when damaged or handled improperly, they can pose a serious fire risk."

The government of British Columbia has been committed to increasing electric vehicle adoption in the province, and has vowed to ensure there are no new gas-powered cars sold by 2035. Continue…

Trump grants permit for cross-border pipeline in North Dakota

https://www.westernstandard.news/news/trump-grants-permit-for-cross-border-pipeline-in-north-dakota/65814

President Donald Trump has authorized Steel Reef US Pipelines LLC to continue operating and maintaining a natural gas liquids pipeline across the Canada-U.S. border in Burke County, North Dakota.

The Presidential permit, issued on Monday, allows the Delaware-based company to operate existing cross-border infrastructure for the export of natural gas liquids to Canada. Steel Reef US Pipelines is owned by affiliates of Canadian-based Steel Reef Infrastructure Corp.

The permit applies to an 8.625-inch diameter pipeline that extends from the U.S.-Canada border to the first mainline shut-off valve or pumping station in the United States. While the permit permits changes to the pipeline’s throughput capacity and flow direction, any substantial structural or operational changes will require additional Presidential approval.

The permit imposes strict conditions, including compliance with federal, state, and local laws, as well as regular inspections and safety standards enforced by the U.S. Department of Transportation’s Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration.

The company must also notify the president of any ownership changes and is required to indemnify the U.S. government against any liability, including environmental contamination. If the permit is revoked or surrendered, the company must dismantle and remove the pipeline infrastructure at its own expense.

The permit affirms the federal government’s right to take control of the pipeline in the interest of national security, with just compensation paid to the company.
