Unexploded Ordinance Accident Kills 14 IRGC Members: State Media Trump's operation Epic Fury saw a combined number of US-Israeli strikes in the many thousands unleashed on Iran. The common high estimates suggest over 13,000 strikes by the American side, and possibly 10,000 by the Israelis - which are staggering figures.

Unexploded Ordinance Accident Kills 14 IRGC Members: State Media Trump's operation Epic Fury saw a combined number of US-Israeli strikes in the many thousands unleashed on Iran. The common high estimates suggest over 13,000 strikes by the American side, and possibly 10,000 by the Israelis - which are staggering figures. While the severe damage to Iranian cities, bases, missile sites, and infrastructure has been abundantly clear - the hidden reality is the apparently persistent danger of unexploded ordinance still littering the country . On Friday state media reported a mass casualty event involving Iranian military members due to unexploded bombs. "An explosion of leftover bombs from strikes during the war against Iran killed 14 members of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps , Iranian media reports," AFP reports based on state media. Example of large unexploded bomb in Gaza, Getty Images "A report by the Nour news website, believed to be close to Iran’s security, says the explosion happened near the northern city of Zanjan, which is northwest of Tehran," AFP continues. And notably, " It is the largest number of IRGC members reported to be killed since the ceasefire began on April 7," it continues, describing that cluster bombs and 'air mines' which had been dropped during prior US and Israeli aids caused the deadly blasts. The major blast could have been the result of an IRGC operation to recover the bombs, given that the last week has seen reports that the IRGC had recovered a fully intact GBU-57 Bunker Buster bomb . While unconfirmed, one defense source said as follows : The reported recovery by Iran of more than 15 unexploded American precision-guided munitions , including at least one fully intact GBU-57 Massive Ordnance Penetrator, may prove to be one of the most strategically consequential intelligence gains in Tehran’s military history. If confirmed, the transfer of these weapons to Iranian “technical and research units” for reverse engineering would transf...
Inflationary pressures are starting to bite into profit margins for some companies, particularly those with long, complex sales cycles, such as GE Healthcare (NASDAQ: GEHC) . That's why the company's stock declined 11.3% in a week after it released its first-quarter 2026 earnings.

Inflationary pressures are starting to bite into profit margins for some companies, particularly those with long, complex sales cycles, such as GE Healthcare (NASDAQ: GEHC) . That's why the company's stock declined 11.3% in a week after it released its first-quarter 2026 earnings. The healthcare company sells relatively high-ticket imaging and visualization equipment, which tends to have long sales cycles, making it difficult for the company to immediately raise prices to offset cost inflation. While it also sells shorter cycle products like patient care equipment and pharmaceutical diagnostics, it's not enough to give it the agility to deal with rising costs. Unfortunately, costs are rising, with GE Healthcare management outlining $250 million in increased costs, comprising $100 million from memory chips, $100 million from oil and freight costs, and $50 million from raw materials, including tungsten metal. These impacts are set to reduce earnings per share (EPS) by $0.43 in 2026. Management expects to take cost-mitigation actions that will improve EPS by $0.17 and implement price increases, resulting in a $0.06 improvement, alongside a $0.05 improvement from non-operational matters.

Sean Duffy, US secretary of transportation, during a news conference in Terminal A at Newark Liberty International Airport (EWR) in Newark, New Jersey, US, on Monday, Nov. 24, 2025. Victor J. Blue | Bloomberg | Getty Images U.S. Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy said on Saturday he does not think the government needs to bail out low-cost airlines that have sought $2.5 billion in government relief because of high jet fuel prices, following the collapse of Spirit Airlines . "At this point, I don't think it's necessary. They do have access to cash. If they want to come to the U.S. government, we would be a lender of last resort. If they can find dollars in the private markets — I think that's better for them," Duffy said at a press conference at Newark Liberty International Airport in New Jersey. He said the prospect of a Spirit bailout was seen by some other airlines as an opportunity to get money "not necessarily based on need, but based on opportunity." On Monday, a group of U.S. budget airlines, including Frontier and Avelo, said it had proposed exchanging warrants convertible into equity stakes for $2.5 billion in U.S. government assistance. The Association of Value Airlines confirmed it asked President Donald Trump's administration to create a $2.5 billion liquidity pool, used exclusively to offset incremental fuel costs, "as a necessary and targeted measure to stabilize operations and keep airfares affordable during this period of volatility." They have also asked Congress to suspend the 7.5% federal excise tax on airline tickets and the $5.30 per segment tax. Waiving the fees would offset about one-third of the incremental cost of higher jet fuel. Jet fuel surge doubles costs The pitch highlights one of the unintended consequences of the U.S.-Israeli war with Iran: a surge in jet fuel prices that has roughly doubled costs, squeezing margins and pushing weaker airlines closer to the brink. The chief executives of several low-cost carriers met with Duffy an...

Humans have short attention spans, so headline-grabbing events tend to distract people from thinking about the long-term. That's a particular problem on Wall Street, where investors are hyper-focused on oil right now thanks to the geopolitical conflict in the Middle East. It isn't unreasonable to worry about how high oil prices will affect the world, but there are other massive trends that remain important. For example, the shift toward clean energy. Here are three renewable stocks that will outlast the problems in the Middle East: NextEra Energy (NYSE: NEE) , Brookfield Renewable (NYSE: BEP) (NYSE: BEPC) , and Bloom Energy (NYSE: BE) .

Kevin Dietsch "The world is full of people offering things for you to do. The key is to find the ones worth doing," Berkshire Hathaway ( BRK.B ) ( BRK.A ) Chairman Warren Buffett said Saturday. "I think it's all working," Buffett said, referring to the company's operations on the sidelines of Berkshire's annual meeting. "It isn't the ideal (environment) for deploying capital." Buffett chose Greg Abel to succeed him as CEO because he's "very, very smart" about managing businesses, he said. Buffett is still involved in the company's investment decisions, he said in an interview with CNBC's Becky Quick. He acknowledged that he has not learned "new industries for some years." "We have never had more people in a gambling mood than now," he said. "That doesn't mean the investing environment is terrible." "There's more money around than ever," Buffett said. "The time to buy things is when nobody else will answer their phones," he said. "When markets are collapsing, nobody answers their phones." He said opportunities for investments will "come out of the blue." Likewise, in looking at the macro view, "it's the things you don't think about that will get you." In commenting about Jerome Powell staying on the Federal Reserve Board as a governor, Buffett said he feels better "when he's there" than when he's not. Regarding AI and deep fakes, "it's scary," Buffett said. The U.S. has a “secret sauce” in its success. "Is there any other country that after a couple hundred years people still want to immigrate to?" he asked. "It has worked." "That doesn't mean that we can't do better," he added. "If the whole world lived by the golden rule, that would be a much better society," he said, referring to the ethic of "do unto others as you would have done to yourself."
