Russia, Iran, and China began the 'Maritime Security Belt 2026' exercises on Thursday, focusing on countering maritime threats like piracy through coordinated special forces operations near the Strait of Hormuz. The drills come amid rising U.S.-Iran friction over Tehran's nuclear program, with President Trump issuing a short deadline for a deal and deploying carriers, drones, and bombers to the region. A Russian command plane's arrival in Tehran fueled online worries of escalation, though experts call it posturing tied to deepening Moscow-Tehran ties rather than war preparations.

Key Takeaway

Helicopters hovered as Iranian and Russian special forces rappelled onto a mock hijacked ship, practicing rescues in the Gulf of Oman just as U.S. forces build up nearby.

The X post from @TouchlineX joked that Carragher scored just 11 goals total, math that adds his actual four strikes to seven Premier League own goals, outpacing some rivals' tallies. Fans ribbed the outspoken Sky Sports pundit, questioning how the 'own goal king' critiques modern attackers, while others quipped his bold takes count as extra mishaps. Carragher, a one-club hero with 737 Liverpool appearances and a 2005 Champions League win, has long owned the stat, once calling it a 'good record' for a center-back and even nodding to Everton fans by scoring an own goal in his 2010 testimonial.

In an October 2025 MSNBC interview, Pritzker said he never suggested Trump is Hitler, while Wallace claimed no Democrat had. Critics shared compilations, like one from Pritzker's February 2025 State of the State address, where he likened Trump's tactics to the Nazi dismantling of Germany's republic in precise timing: one month, three weeks, two days, eight hours, and 40 minutes. Pritzker, who is Jewish and helped build a Skokie Holocaust museum, has denied directly calling Trump or Republicans Nazis, framing his words as warnings about authoritarianism. The backlash ties into Illinois frustrations like high taxes and grows amid partisan divides a year into Trump's second term.

Key Takeaway

Old clips show Illinois Gov. J.B. Pritzker and MSNBC's Nicolle Wallace insisting no Democrats compared Trump to Hitler. Now, resurfaced videos of their Nazi Germany references have conservatives crying foul.
