US 'Only Certain Of Having Destroyed A Third' Of Iran's Missiles Via Middle East Eye The US is only certain it has destroyed around a third of Iran's missiles, despite comments from President Donald Trump boasting of military success. According to five people familiar with the US intelligence who spoke to Reuters, the status of around another third is less clear . However, US-Israeli strikes have likely damaged, destroyed or buried those missiles in underground tunnels and bunkers. Iran's drone capability has also likely been reduced by a third , another source said. The assessment, which comes one month after the beginning of the US-Israeli assault on Iran, suggests Tehran still retains substantial missile capability and its ability to retaliate is far from eliminated. At a cabinet meeting on Thursday, Trump said - while discussing options to open the Straits of Hormuz - that 99 percent of Iran's missiles had been destroyed . via Reuters "The problem with the straits is this: let's say we do a great job. We say we got 99 percent [of its missiles]. 1 percent is unacceptable, because 1 percent is a missile going into the hull of a ship that cost a billion dollars," he said. US Central Command has so far declined to specify how much of Iran's missile or drone capability has been destroyed in its attacks. According to Israeli military officials, Iran had 2,500 ballistic missiles capable of reaching Israel prior to the war . So far, over 335 missile launchers have been "neutralized", representing 70 percent of Iran's launch capacity , a senior Israeli military official told Reuters. Meanwhile, officials have warned that the US and Israel are "burning through" their supply of Tomahawk and interceptor missiles. According to officials speaking to The Washington Post, the US has fired more than 850 Tomahawk cruise missiles in the four weeks of its war with Iran. Only a few hundred of the cruise missiles are manufactured each year . While the Pentagon does not publicly discl...

From seeing him on stage to locking eyes at a lounge room disco, comedian Tom Ballard only had eyes for Harley, a handsome circus acrobat I met Harley at the Adelaide Fringe festival in 2020. We were sharing a venue in the Garden of Unearthly Delights; I was doing my standup show, he was performing in a group circus show . I was all set to move to the UK later that year to become a West End star (or something), so I wasn’t looking for a relationship. One night I sat in on the circus show and, when I saw Harley in action, I was smitten. About halfway in he performed this stunning rope routine and there was something fundamentally sexy about him rolling around in the air, shirtless and sweaty, coiling and unfurling that rope around him. Obviously, I thought it was really cool art etc, but also, you know – hot. Continue reading...

A lot has changed since 1996 – summer matches, bigger crowds, more foreign players, a salary cap, skin-tight jerseys and female referees – but some things always stay the same By No Helmets Required The first season of Super League kicked off on 29 March 1996, when 17,873 people watched Paris Saint-Germain beat Sheffield Eagles 30–24 at Stade Charléty. The opening fixture might sound outlandish 30 years later, but the first season of the competition set the tone for the next decade. St Helens ended Wigan’s run of seven successive titles and Bradford showed what was to come by finishing third. The three clubs would dominate the opening era of the new competition before Leeds finally fulfilled their potential. Leeds RLFC (rhinos were still something you only saw at the zoo) finished 10th in the inaugural season, winning just six of their 22 games. Hull KR were scrambling off the canvas, romping to the third-tier title, while Hull FC finished third in the second tier behind Salford and Keighley. Continue reading...

England’s head coach still rates injury-prone Manchester City defender and seems likely to be a fundamental part of his squad this summer Every manager reserves the right to make an exception to the rules. For Thomas Tuchel, it is John Stones. The England head coach has watched Stones endure a lost season at Manchester City; another one, really, because things were similar for him last time out – certainly in terms of appearances. Once again, there have been injury problems, the sense that Stones cannot get himself fully right compounded over this past week with England. The 31-year-old struggled in training and when he felt something in a calf muscle on Thursday, Tuchel was forced to leave him out of the Wembley friendly against Uruguay on Friday night . He started Fikayo Tomori alongside Harry Maguire in central defence in a drab game that ended 1-1. Continue reading...

The post from @realDonaldTrump landed at precisely 7:23 a.m. Inside JPMorgan Chase & Co. , the final piece of Project Eagle was a go. For weeks, JPMorgan bankers had anxiously watched events in the Middle East as they worked to sell the financing for the biggest leveraged buyout ever, the $55-billion private equity takeover of video-game giant Electronic Arts Inc. And by Sunday, March 22, there was still the possibility that the US would target energy infrastructure in Iran and send markets into a tailspin. So a collective sigh went up the next morning when President Donald Trump abruptly announced on social media that he would postpone any strike for five days. Word went out inside the bank: go — now. The stakes for the Wall Street lender – and the big investors it was lining up — were high. The volatility in the markets, coupled with souring sentiment over software borrowers , had complicated the timing of the deal, according to people with knowledge of the matter. The concern was that failure to sell all of the loans and bonds might stall not only the EA deal but the rest of the $100 billion in M&A debt financing Wall Street is working on this year. How JPMorgan pulled off the deal, code-named Project Eagle, is part of a broader story of how Wall Street has navigated this war. While the markets gyrate , bankers have had to parse every Truth Social post or statement on Air Force One to spot openings for multibillion-dollar deals, and then move as quickly as possible. Plow On At JPMorgan, Trump’s post on March 23 provided the final push to go ahead with plans to offload $6.4 billion in bonds and wrap up a $8.125 billion leveraged loan sale that started a week earlier, said the people with knowledge of the matter, asking not to be identified discussing private deliberations. JPMorgan, which initially lent $20 billion to support EA’s acquisition by Saudi Arabia’s Public Investment Fund , Silver Lake and Jared Kushner ’s Affinity Partners, went into the deal feeling u...
