As fragile nuclear negotiations between Tehran and Washington teeter on the edge, explosive new satellite imagery has emerged, raising fresh questions about the true nature of Iran’s nuclear ambitions. Published Thursday by Fox News, the images reveal a covert facility nestled in Iran’s Semnan Province—an area already dotted with nuclear infrastructure. The site, previously unacknowledged by Iranian authorities, is being called the “Rainbow Site” by the opposition group National Council of Resistance of Iran (NCRI), which alleges that it plays a critical role in a clandestine nuclear weapons program.

Palestinian Authority head Mohammad Mustafa accused Israel of intentionally creating a humanitarian catastrophe in Gaza, placing direct blame on the Jewish state during a press conference held in Ramallah.
Referring to Israel as “the occupying power,” Mustafa alleged that it was responsible for a prolonged state of starvation in Gaza and deliberately preventing the flow of humanitarian assistance to civilians.
He demanded that the United Nations, and in particular its Secretary-General, act without delay by invoking Article 99 of Chapter 15 of the UN Charter. This clause allows the Secretary-General to alert the Security Council to any issue that could pose a threat to global peace and stability.

The more President Donald Trump talks about his efforts to reach deals with America’s trading partners, the more confusing the tariff picture gets. His team seems good with that, saying Trump is using “strategic uncertainty” to his advantage. Trump says the United States does not have to sign any agreements, and that it could sign 25 of them right now. He says he is looking for fair deals on all sides, and that he does not care about other countries’ markets. He says his team can sit down to negotiate the terms of a deal, and that he might just impose a set of tariffs on his own. “I am struggling to make sense of it,” Chad Bown, a senior fellow at the Peterson Institute for International Economics, wrote in an email.

Acting FAA Administrator Chris Rocheleau: “Today marks a major milestone in aviation for America… We’re all here today to commit to taking bold steps to build a new, world-class air traffic system that is safer, more efficient, more resilient and better prepared to meet the needs of the future.”

Satellite photos have uncovered the existence of a hidden Iranian nuclear installation, Fox News disclosed on Thursday.
The report identifies the location as being in Iran’s Semnan province and states that it is likely involved in the regime’s nuclear weapons program. Internally, Iranian officials refer to the facility by the codename “rainbow site,” and it spans approximately 2,500 acres.
Intelligence suggests the facility has been in operation for more than ten years, disguised as a legitimate chemical manufacturing plant while actually supporting nuclear-related efforts. One of the key activities suspected at the site involves the production of tritium—a radioactive substance that enhances the destructive capability of nuclear arms.

UPDATE: Less than 24 hours after YWN published a lost tefillin alert on Wednesday, the tefillin were successfully located. The owner tells YWN, “Thank you so much for all your help with this! It was through your post that I got in touch with someone who was able to help me locate them!”

Israel has issued a stern ultimatum to Yemen’s Houthi movement, warning of severe retaliatory strikes if the group’s assaults on Israeli territory persist. The warning extended beyond the Houthis to include their primary sponsor, Iran, signaling that Tehran could face the same fate as other regional enemies of Israel.
Following a U.S. announcement that it had brokered a ceasefire with the Houthis, Defense Minister Yisroel Katz emphasized that Israel must maintain the capacity to defend itself even in the absence of American assistance. This came amid quiet unease among Israeli officials about the implications of Washington’s agreement with the group.

TEL AVIV — U.S.

Hardly any other country marks the end of World War II with the same fanfare and fervor as Russia, for which the victory over Nazi Germany 80 years ago remains a source of immense pride and a defining moment of history. Victory Day, celebrated on May 9, is Russia’s most important secular holiday, reflecting its wartime sacrifice. But it’s also used by the Kremlin to bolster patriotism and regain the superpower prestige it lost when the Soviet Union collapsed in 1991. President Vladimir Putin, who has ruled Russia for 25 of those 80 years, has turned Victory Day into a key pillar of his tenure and has tried to use it to justify his 3-year-old invasion of Ukraine.
