By RFE/RL’s Radio Farda April 06, 2026 US President Donald Trump repeated his threat to strike Iranian infrastructure hard if Tehran does not open the Strait of Hormuz, using explosive language hours after announcing that US forces rescued the missing crew member from a downed F-15 fighter jet. “Tuesday [April 7] will be Power Plant Day, and Bridge Day, all wrapped up in one, in Iran. There will be nothing like it!!! Open the F****** Strait, you crazy bastards, or you’ll be living in Hell – JUST WATCH!” he wrote in a poston his Truth Social platform. Trump’s timeframe for…

Iran Press TV Monday, 06 April 2026 5:16 AM Many US political figures have sharply criticized President Donald Trump following his expletive-laden threats aimed at trying to force Iran to reopen the Strait of Hormuz, casting his mental stability into doubt and highlighting the risks posed to American troops, with some even calling for his removal. On Sunday, Trump threatened to strike Iran’s power plants and bridges unless the Islamic Republic submissively reopened the strategic waterway that it has closed to enemies and their allies in retaliation for the United States’ and the Israeli regime’s latest bout of unprovoked aggression…

Despite everything, the wheels of corporate markets continue to turn. In fact, evidence suggests they are turning faster than ever, with the Financial Times reporting a record number of “mega deals” were agreed in the first quarter of 2026. A total of 22 deals valued at over $10bn were agreed in the first quarter of this year, the newspaper reported, contributing to a total of agreed mergers and acquisitions of $1.2tn, globally.

The sumo deadlift catches a lot of flak. Some lifters argue it’s cheating because the wide stance decreases the range of motion compared to the conventional deadlift. On the other side, powerlifters, coaches, and seasoned lifters say the opposite: It’s not cheating, but rather a variation that suits certain bodies better and allows them to lift without pain. The sumo deadlift is not just a social media argument about what’s a legit deadlift. It’s also a question of biomechanics, body structure, training goals, and the trade-off between risk and reward. So, before dismissing it as a fake deadlift, it’s worth…

Out on the open ocean, where the horizon blurs into nothing and the sky feels endless, there’s a city that moves. Not metaphorically. Literally. Steel, nuclear-powered, humming with life. That city is the USS Theodore Roosevelt (CVN-71).At first glance, it’s just another aircraft carrier. Massive, sure. Impressive, obviously. But spend a moment looking closer, and it becomes something else entirely, a floating ecosystem of strategy, technology, and human endurance.Nearly 5,000 people live and work onboard. Jets scream off its deck every few minutes during peak operations. And beneath it all? Two nuclear reactors quietly powering the whole thing without needing…

Given that U.S. President Donald Trump spent the first year of his second term imposing steep tariffs on European goods, toying with the idea of withdrawing U.S. troops from Europe, and even threatening to “take control” of European territory, European leaders have an urgent need to reduce their countries’ economic and military dependence on the United States. The United States today is Europe’s largest export market, accounting for more than 20 percent of European exports in early 2026, as well as the continent’s dominant supplier of risk capital for new business ventures and the source of military capabilities that are…

Monumental battles between Allied and German forces in Holland, Belgium, eastern France, northern Italy and along Germany’s western frontier were still being waged when two American men — Frederick Ayer Jr. and Donald L. Daughters — stepped foot upon the pavement of the newly liberated Paris in August 1944. “The reality of the men’s identities and their reason for traveling to newly liberated Paris would likely have surprised even the most observant and intuitive onlooker,” writes author and historian Stephen Harding in his latest, “G.I. G-Men.”The men were not military intelligence officers, nor from the vaunted Office of Strategic Services…
