WASHINGTON — Vice President JD Vance and second lady Usha Vance announced Tuesday that they are expecting their fourth child, a son due in late July. The couple shared the news in a social media post , saying both mother and baby are doing well. The child will join their three other children — Ewan, Viv ek and Mirabel. In their announcement, the Vances expressed gratitude to military doctors and staff who care for their family while they serve in public office. The news comes as Vance, 41, has long advocated for higher U.S. birth rates, a theme he has emphasized since launching his political career and continuing into his tenure as vice president. He reiterated that message during a 2025 March for Life speech, saying he wants “more babies in the United States of America.” It is rare for top U.S. leaders to welcome children while in office. One notable historical exception was President Grover Cleveland, whose wife gave birth during his second term in 1893. The White H...

Iran president declares ‘full-fledged war’ with US, Israel, and Europe

-


 Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian stated Saturday that his country is engaged in a “full-fledged war” with the US, Israel, and Europe, describing the multifaceted pressures as more complex than the 1980-1988 Iran-Iraq war. This remark appeared in an interview published on the official website of Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.

“In my opinion, we are in a full-fledged war with America, Israel, and Europe. They do not want our country to stand on its feet,” Pezeshkian said, accusing Western powers of besieging Iran economically, culturally, politically, and in security matters. He contrasted the current situation with the Iran-Iraq war, noting that the earlier conflict involved clear military engagements, whereas today’s pressures are broader and more insidious.

Pezeshkian warned that any renewed attacks by Israel or the US would face a “more decisive response,” while asserting that Iran’s military is now stronger than before the June 2025 conflict. The 12-day war in June was triggered by Israeli strikes on Iranian military, nuclear, and civilian targets, with subsequent US involvement, in response to Iran’s increased uranium enrichment in late May. The war resulted in approximately 1,100 Iranian deaths, including senior commanders and nuclear scientists, and 28 fatalities in Israel from retaliatory missile barrages.

From Boland to bedlam: A Boxing Day that explained this Ashes

Record Crowd, Rapid Collapses Mark Unusual Boxing Day Test at MCG A record 94,199 spectators packed the Melbourne Cricket Ground on Boxing Day, the largest crowd ever to attend a single day of Test cricket in Australia, but they were met with an extraordinary spectacle: all 20 wickets fell on the opening day of the fourth Ashes Test. The loudest cheer came for an unlikely moment — Australian bowler Scott Boland, sent in as a nightwatchman, edged a boundary while opening the batting in Australia’s second innings after already batting once earlier in the day. The unusual scene reflected the chaotic nature of a match dominated by bowlers. It was the first time since 1950 that 20 wickets fell on a single day of a Test match in Australia. The collapse-heavy day unfolded on a pitch with around 10 millimeters of grass and significant seam movement, conditions that had raised concerns in the lead-up to the match. England captain Ben Stokes won the toss and chose to field on a cold...

The Atlanta Falcons pulled off an unlikely upset Monday night, defeating the Los Angeles Rams 27–24 in a game few expected them to win. Playing only for pride , Atlanta delivered a gritty, defense-led performance against quarterback Matthew Stafford, an MVP favorite. The Falcons intercepted Stafford three times and made several key stops in crucial moments. Their defense set the tone early, shutting out the Rams in the first half — just the third time a Sean McVay–coached team has been held scoreless before halftime. Los Angeles managed only 80 passing yards and 26 rushing yards in the opening half, while committing two turnovers. Defensive coordinator Jeff Ulbrich mixed coverages and pressure effectively throughout the night, disrupting the Rams’ rhythm and keeping Atlanta in control. The win marked the Falcons’ third straight victory and one of their most impressive performances of the season.
