‘I’ve never been hit by an Iranian missile on my way to Asda’: Internet gloats at terrified Dubai influencers after Iranian drone blitz

The internet has started gloating at terrified influencers who relocated to the UAE in search of a glamorous, tax-free lifestyle but are now caught up in a war zone after Iranian drones and missiles rained down on Dubai.

Plumes of thick black smoke billowed into the night sky on Saturday after the five-star Fairmont hotel on Palm Jumeirah was set ablaze, with at least four people injured as UK tourists hid in basements while missiles streaked overhead.

The Burj Khalifa – the world’s tallest building and feared target – was evacuated as panic spread through the city, home to more than 240,000 Britons.

Three US F-15s are shot down by Kuwait in friendly fire blunder

The US has confirmed that three of their F-15 fighter jets were shot down by Kuwait in a friendly fire blunder – as video shows the $90million planes tailspinning in smoke to the ground.

Kuwait’s Defence Ministry said crews are safe after the crashes this morning, which saw at least two pilots eject from their planes near a US military base in Kuwait.

A US Central Command (CENTCOM) official confirmed that American military aircraft were ‘downed’ in Kuwait on Monday morning, as an Iraqi pro-militia outlet shared footage of a US pilot after ejecting from his aircraft in Kuwait City.

Mark Carney supports the latest attacks on Iran. Don’t expect the Canadian public to share that view

As I write this late Saturday morning, news is still coming in about the joint U.S. and Israeli strikes on Iran. The targets reportedly included senior regime figures and missile infrastructure. Iran has responded. World leaders are trading statements. The situation feels fluid and dangerous.

Prime Minister Mark Carney has reacted in a way that is far different than how former prime minister Justin Trudeau likely would have responded. Carney reaffirmed that Iran must never obtain a nuclear weapon, reiterated Canada’s support for Israel’s right to defend itself, and backed U.S. action aimed at preventing further regional destabilization. At the same time, he urged protection for civilians and emphasized the need for stability.

I think annexation of the willing is looking better and better. I don’t want to share air with Mullah Regime supporters.

Ilhan Omar snaps back at ‘drunk’ Nancy Mace for suggesting she is mourning Khamenei’s death

They both went there.

Lefty Dem Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.) on Sunday bashed firebrand GOP Rep. Nancy Mace as a “drunk” for suggesting she and fellow “Squad” Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-Mich.) were mourning Iranian Ayatollah Ali Khamenei’s death.

Mace of South Carolina had sarcastically posted online Saturday — after Khamenei’s death was announced — “My heart goes out to Ilhan Omar and Rashida Tlaib tonight.

WARMINGTON: Iranian-Canadian activist’s gym shot up hours after ayatollah’s demise

The overnight shooting at a boxing gym run by a well-known activist for Iranian freedom is being investigated by York Regional Police.

But since it occurred just hours after the announced death of Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei following military strikes by the United States and Israel on Tehran, a call to the federal government and CSIS as well would seem to be appropriate.
