At least 108 people have died in an explosion at a school in southern Iran, according to a local prosecutor. It happened as the US and Israel launched massive air strikes against the country. President Masoud Pezeshkian said it was a “barbaric act” and “another black page in the record of countless crimes committed by the aggressors”. There has been no confirmation by the two Western countries of the attack on the school – located near a base of Iran’s Revolutionary Guard Corps, which has been the target of the strikes. The Iranian Red Crescent said at least 201 people…
Donald Trump has just announced that Iran’s Ayatollah Khamenei has been killed. Here is his whole post on his Truth Social Platform: Khamenei, one of the most evil people in History, is dead.

Iran has not published a video of Khamenei since the strikes began Saturday morning. CNN previously reported that Khamenei was one of the targets of the opening salvo of strikes on Iran along with other senior leaders, but Israeli sources said…

OpenAI CEO Sam Altman announced late Friday that the company had signed a deal with the Pentagon for its AI toolsto be used in the military’s classified systems, but with seemingly similar guardrails rival Anthropic had also requested. The deal with OpenAI comes the same day President Donald Trump announced all federal government agencies must cease using Anthropic’s AI tools, and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth declared that the company would be deemed a “supply chain risk,” all over refusing to back down in its negotiations with the Pentagon over requested restrictions of its AI system being used in autonomous weapons…

The image had been hosted in the department’s online repository of Epstein-related files uploaded in late January under the Epstein Files Transparency Act.

Payment management is a crucial element of the effective functioning of any laundromat. For many years, coin-operated machines were regarded as the standard.

With the ever-changing technology transforming daily transactions, laundromat owners need to integrate with technology that helps in enhancing efficiency as well as customer satisfaction. An easy solution involves the use of a laundry card system that eliminates manual operations with digital payment methods. It brings…
High temperatures tend to reveal issues in the AC systems that were not visible during the colder seasons, and most homeowners only find out about weak airflow or uneven cooling when daily use becomes necessary. As cooling periods become more extended, the energy bills start to increase, which already indicates that internal components are strained. When these small faults are not fixed promptly, they may soon result in a system failure during peak heat when service appointments are limited and discomfort increases. However, timely air conditioning maintenance restores the appropriate cooling performance and prevents an unexpected failure at the moment…
The US military used an anti-drone laser system to shoot down a unmanned aircraft operated by US Customs and Border Protection in Texas, according to congressional representatives. The incident comes just weeks after use of a laser system near El Paso led to confusion and exposed communication lapses among several US agencies. “Our heads are exploding over the news that DoD reportedly shot down a Customs and Border Protection drone using a high risk counter-unmanned aircraft system,” three Democrats on the House Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure said in a statement. It’s not clear when the shoot-down happened. The Department…
