Iran launched missile attacks Monday on U.S. military bases in Qatar and Iraq, retaliating for the American bombing of its nuclear sites and escalating tensions in the volatile region.
Iran said the attack matched the number of bombs the U.S. dropped on its nuclear sites this weekend.

Ruim 83 procent van de leden steunt het standpunt van de fractie voor een wapenembargo tegen Israรซl. Juist nu de internationale rechtsorde ten onder dreigt te gaan is dat een hoopvolle keuze, die ook het geloof in de democratie versterkt.

The image depicts a fantasy-themed illustration of a female elf-like character seated on an ornate throne. She has pointed ears, long dark hair, and wears a detailed green dress with feather-like shoulder accents. Her expression is serious, and she holds a glowing green staff with a blue gem at the end, emitting a mystical aura. The background features classical architecture with columns and arches, enhancing the regal atmosphere. The character's attire and the staff suggest a connection to magic or power. The overall color palette is dark and rich, with green and brown tones dominating the scene.

Bon, apparemment, les Iraniens ont mis les Qataris au courant qu'ils allaient frapper les bases US sur leur territoire avant de tirer. C'est ce qu'on appelle une riposte "graduรฉe" (dans l'esprit des militaires en tous cas), explique le New-York Times nytimes.com/live/2025/06/23/woโฆ

"The surprise guest for the Commission meeting was none other than U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi. The witness tables on stage were cleared to make way for a podium, from which Bondi would eventually say that โ[the Commission] will be the tip of the spearโ in the fight for their version of religious liberty and expressed her pride at it being housed at the DOJ.
Thatโs when my row decided it was time to leave. It felt right โ necessary even โ not to sit there and listen to the explicit weaponization of the U.S. Department of Justice, where I once worked to protect the American people from discrimination, for the good of Christian Nationalism. So, quietly and politely, we walked out."
The warning here is clear.

For more than a century, a patch of cold water south of Greenland has resisted the #Atlantic #Ocean's overall warming, fueling debate amongst scientists.
A new study identifies the cause as the long-term weakening of a major ocean circulation system.
The consequences are broad.
The South #Greenland anomaly matters not just because it's unusual, but because it's one of the most sensitive regions to changes in #ocean #circulation. It affects weather patterns across Europe, altering rainfall and shifting the jet stream, which is a high-altitude air current that steers #weather systems and helps regulate temperatures across North America and Europe.
The slowdown may also disturb marine ecosystems, as changes in salinity and temperature influence where #species can live.

The image depicts a scene from a pixelated video game. In the foreground, three characters are visible: one with pink hair and a green outfit, another with blue skin and dark hair, and a small white creature with a green outfit. They are standing on a dark, rocky surface. In the background, there is a dark, ominous figure with a tree-like structure, suggesting a menacing presence. The scene is set against a black background, enhancing the eerie atmosphere.
At the bottom of the image, there is a dialogue box with a character's face and the text "* We... we actually beat it?" This indicates a moment of triumph or disbelief, likely after overcoming a challenge or enemy in the game. The dialogue box is framed with a white border, and the text is in a simple, pixelated font, consistent with the game's aesthetic.

The image depicts a scene from a pixelated video game, likely from the 16-bit era, with a dark, purple-hued background. In the foreground, two characters are visible: one with purple hair and a dark outfit, and another with blue hair and a light-colored outfit. The character with purple hair is kneeling, while the other character, Ralsei, is shown as a pile of fluff, indicating defeat. The health points (HP) for Kris are -80/160, and for Ralsei, they are -999/140, suggesting Kris has taken damage and Ralsei has been defeated. The text at the bottom reads, "Kris kneeled in silence. Ralsei became a pile of fluff." A status bar on the left shows TP (turn points) at 83%. The interface includes icons for different actions, such as attacking, using magic, and defending, with Susie's HP displayed as 1/190.
