In total, Israel targeted more than 20 Iranian military and Quds command centers — killing the head of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard's head of intelligence, his deputy and the deputy head of the Quds Force's intelligence organization.
'The Quds Force is the central terror arm of the Iranian regime. It is responsible for operating Iran's proxies around Israel's borders and for distributing weapons and missiles intended for attack the state of Israel,' Defrin said.

Starmer's Complex Palestine Recognition Vow Risks Political Pain Next Month
Keir Starmer aimed to calm domestic criticism that he was failing to take a lead against the crisis in Gaza when he promised to recognize Palestine this week. Now, senior members of his UK government fret that he's set the scene for more political pain next month. The British premier's conditional pledge to recognize Palestinian statehood in September unless Israel agrees to end the conflict in Gaza sparked a backlash from both the left and right of the political spectrum, as well as accusations by the Israeli government, the White House and a British hostage who had been held captive by Hamas, that he risked rewarding terrorism.

College Basketball Coach Blames Barack Obama For 'Dividing' United States
College Basketball Coach Blames Barack Obama For 'Dividing' United States originally appeared on The Spun. For the second time this week, Barack Obama has been called out by Auburn basketball coach Bruce Pearl. Pearl's feud with Obama started earlier this week when the former president of the United States shared a New York Times article about the children in Gaza. Obama's social media post included this message: "While a lasting resolution to the crisis in Gaza must involve a return of all hostages and a cessation of Israel's military operations, these articles underscore the immediate need for action to be taken to prevent the travesty of innocent people dying of preventable starvation." Shortly after Obama shared this message with the public, he received a harsh reply from Pearl. "You gave billions to Iran and Hamas creating this mess and not one word from you calling for THEM to release the hostages, surrender and end the War," Pearl wrote on X. "Tell Hamas to 1) Quit stealing and reselling aid 2) Stop attacking GHF workers who are feeding Gazans. 3) Leave and end suffering." Pearl wasn't done criticizing Obama. He had an awful lot to say about the 44th U.S. president during an appearance on OutKick's "Don't @ Me with Dan Dakich." The longtime college basketball coach suggested that Obama is responsible for America being so divided right now. "I get so frustrated when I hear what a terrible country we are or how racist we are, how this is not the land of opportunity for everybody," Pearl said, via Fox News Digital. "Look, we've got a lot to work on, and there is racism that absolutely does exist, and it's wrong. But it's a lot better for my players than it was for their fathers, and their fathers' fathers. I want my guys to recognize that there are going to be obstacles, but not roadblocks. That's what Barack Obama did. "However, as our president, I disagreed with so many of his policies. I thought that rather than uniting us as a country ... he divided us. Everything was black and white. Everything was [about] the obstacles that were against my players from being successful. I'm trying to teach my guys 'I don't want you to work at Subway - I want you to own five of them.' I think in many ways, Barack Obama told a different story." Obama hasn't responded to these remarks from Pearl. We're not even sure if he's aware of what's being Basketball Coach Blames Barack Obama For 'Dividing' United States first appeared on The Spun on Aug 1, 2025 This story was originally reported by The Spun on Aug 1, 2025, where it first appeared.
