TRUMP BLASTS NETANYAHU: I TOLD HIM DON’T DO THAT
President Donald Trump said Thursday that he had spoken with Israeli Prime Minister and told him to stop attacking Iran’s oil fields, a move that sent fuel prices skyrocketing.

An Israeli strike had set ablaze the South Pars, with Iran retaliating against Gulf nations, including on the LNG plant in Qatar.

Russian Submarine K-141 Kursk Sinks in Barents Sea (2000)August 12, 2026
While completing naval exercises with dummy torpedoes on August 12, 2000, the Russian submarine Kursk suffered two explosions two minutes and 15 seconds apart. The second explosion registered about a 3.5 on the Richter scale. The blasts destroyed the front hull, and all 118 crew members died. It was initially believed that the entire crew died quickly. However, what evidence later suggested that some survived in another area of the submarine for about four hours after the explosions?
