The strikes on Qeshm Island, in the Strait of Hormuz, were "in response to attempted attacks by Iran across the Middle East", US Central Command (Centcom) said. Iran said it had attacked US bases and helicopters in a "regional country" using missiles and drones in retaliation. Centcom said Tehran had fired two missiles at Kuwait and three at Bahrain, all of which broke apart or were intercepted.  The latest attacks come amid stalled ceasefire negotiations, after talks on a deal to end the months-long war failed to advance over the weekend. Centcom added the strike on Qeshm Island had targeted an Iranian military ground control station, and that the US military also shot down three attack drones that had been launched by Iran toward "civilian mariners that were rightfully transiting regional waters".</description><pubDate>Wed, 03 Jun 2026 06:56:51 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>US and iran launch new srikes</title><link><![CDATA[https://aseannow.com/topic/1395974-us-and-iran-launch-new-srikes/?do=findComment&comment=20535162]]></link><description>https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c5yx135yg53o  2026 Updated 3 hours ago The US military says it has launched "self-defence" strikes on Iran and shot down ballistic missiles and drones fired at ships and Gulf countries.

Less than 20% are atheists or agnostic, which matters little as it's a personal thing anyway. I'm 69, and have been a Christian all those years, so no need to show me what I already knew since childhood.  People who have been told about God are surely curious, and that's almost everyone on earth above a certain age. as it makes sense to think there was a creator. Ask anyone if they would like to meet him, even if they think he doesn't exist.   When I said all people, I meant all a person has to do is believe in him. Then go from there.</description><pubDate>Wed, 03 Jun 2026 06:53:33 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Fake Woody Allen antisemitism rant fooled thousands?

I, for one, do NOT buy it. I think that "antisemitism" waxes and wanes but mostly wanes.  What about YOU? Do you agree?  Now let us take the case we find here, on this blog:     https://stljewishlight.org/arts-entertainment/jewish-humor/woody-allen-antisemitism-rant/  The other question is: WHY are we reading the Saint Louis Jewish Light.....IN THE FIRST PLACE....?????  At the very least, when I read about Jews in America, I go first to NYC publications, since they are just more.... ERUDITE.  But, anyway: What do you think Woody, my fave director, would say about the Bombings carried out by Israel?  Probably not much. Allen might just retreat into his jazz music, which is what we should all be doing here on TV.  Best regards, Gamma  Note: And....Have A GOOD One....!!!  NOTE2: IVY-EDUCATED ANTI-ZIONISM....???? I, for one, would like to know more about THAT....!!!!</description><enclosure url="https://assets.aseannow.com/forum/uploads/monthly_2026_06/image.png.cfc5c65de981bd3617366d9d487b276a.png" length="227779" type="image/png"/><pubDate>Wed, 03 Jun 2026 06:52:14 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Sikh Killer&#x2019;s Racist Lie Left Dying Student In Handcuffs</title><link><![CDATA[https://aseannow.com/topic/1395890-sikh-killers-racist-lie-left-dying-student-in-handcuffs/?do=findComment&comment=20535156]]></link><description>Indeed bday time is of the essence when a person is stabbed Digwa's brother or Digwa was at the scene but rang the police before thinking to ring for the emergency services.

A father who loves his wife, is faithful, kind, caring and a provider, will raise the same to do the same things with their partners.   Narcissists are where the worlds problems start, and they are home learned. If you cheat with your neighbors wife, you ruin two families, and the children think it's normal behavior they'll likely mirror when they are adults. it's hard to changed ingrained behavior.</description><pubDate>Wed, 03 Jun 2026 06:48:56 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Male, 54 yrs, non-smoker, no pre-conditions looking for health I</title><link><![CDATA[https://aseannow.com/topic/1395972-male-54-yrs-non-smoker-no-pre-conditions-looking-for-health-i/?do=findComment&comment=20535152]]></link><description>I Male, 54 yrs, non-smoker, no pre-conditions looking for health Insurance and inquired with these results coming up...
