The Gift of Hindsight: What I Would Tell My Younger Self, By Johnson Babalola

By Johnson Babalola @jbdlaw Hindsight, they say, is life’s most generous teacher—but it sends its lessons late. It is only after the storms that the patterns become clear; only after the wrong turns that the map begins to make sense. As I celebrate another birthday today and have grown older, I often find myself reflecting…

The national average price of gasoline dropped below $3 a gallon over the weekend.

United States President Donald Trump has issued a stern warning to Iran, declaring that the country must enter a deal with the US.

Trump, in a strongly worded statement issued on Friday, said that Israel’s next round of attacks on Iran would be “even more brutal” if the country fails to enter a deal soon.

Trump stated: “There has already been great death and destruction, but there is still time to make this slaughter, with the next already planned attacks being even more brutal, come to an end.

“Iran must make a deal, before there is nothing left, and save what was once known as the Iranian Empire. No more death, no more destruction, JUST DO IT, BEFORE IT IS TOO LATE.

Trump said he warned Iran that “the United States makes the best and most lethal military equipment anywhere in the World, BY FAR, and that Israel has a lot of it, with much more to come – And they know how to use it.

“Certain Iranian hardliners spoke bravely, but they didn’t know what was about to happen. They are all DEAD now, and it will only get worse!”

The New Diplomat reports that this comes after Israel’s military unleashed over 200 fighter jets, dropping more than 330 munitions on over 100 targets across Iran, including the Natanz nuclear enrichment facility.

According to reports, the attack on Israel’s Operation Rising Lion delivered a devastating blow to Iran’s military hierarchy.

Among the casualties were General Hossein Salami, commander of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, Major General Mohammad Bagheri, Iran’s highest-ranking military officer, and Ali Shamkhani, a key advisor to Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.

Iranian state media reported six nuclear scientists were also killed, further.

This escalated the Israel-Iran Nuclear war as Iran responded with fury, launching over 100 drones toward Israel in a retaliatory strike, though Israeli forces claimed to have neutralized most of them.
