Iran ‘gave middle finger' to President Trump as it launches drones toward Israel
Republican Senator Ted Cruz says Iran has 'given President Trump the middle finger' by refusing to dismantle its nuclear program.
Appearing on Fox News' 'Hannity' on Thursday night, he reaffirmed Trump's position that Iran must fully dismantle its nuclear capacity.
Cruz said backed Israel's military response, saying Israel is defending itself and America should stand with them.
"Tonight, we should stand unequivocally with the state of Israel," he said.
Iran has fired 100 drones towards Israel after vowing a "harsh and decisive" response in retaliation to earlier strikes which killed senior military officials.
About 4am local time on Friday morning, Israel hit multiple targets in anticipation of an imminent attack from Iran, according to Defence Minister Israel Katz.
Israel said its IAF jets unleashed on several of Iran's nuclear targets, including its main enrichment facility in Natanz and the homes of some of Iran's leading nuclear scientists working on its nuclear bomb.

How to talk to your child about global chaos (while they're watching Bluey)
Halfway through the year, we can all agree that things are not going well. Even by Modern Standards, 2025 is shaping up to be a bin fire that will never go out, each day bringing with it a new headline that will make you say, 'Oh, OK, cool,' in a way that doesn't really translate to 'Oh, OK cool', but is a more resigned acknowledgement that the end is near. Remember that awkward meeting between Trump, JD Vance, and Zelensky, which started with discussions of World War III and ended with Trump being upset that Zelensky wasn't wearing a suit? Feels like forever ago, right? It was February. Anyway, since then, things have gone from bad to worse to: Oh, OK, cool. And what does that mean for you and me? Probably nothing because we're all so desensitised that we can scroll past the horrors until we see a story about mystery tar balls washing up on a Sydney beach or a flowering plant that smells like rotting flesh. My point is that, as independent-thinking adults, we can pick and choose which stories we engage with, but you know who can't do that? Small children. Loading And you know who I love? Small children, specifically my own. According to every parenting website, it's very important to talk to them about the global news cycle, no matter how depressing, confusing or inappropriate it may be. The parenting websites also say that you should do this during a quiet and peaceful time, but the only quiet and peaceful time in our house occurs when Bluey is on the TV, so here goes.

Concerns over US AUKUS review dismissed by deputy PM
Doubts over Australia's submarine deal with the US have been hosed down by the deputy prime minister. Richard Marles again doused concerns about the future of the three-nation pact also involving the United Kingdom, as the Trump administration reviews AUKUS. The Pentagon is considering whether the agreement aligns with Donald Trump's "America First" agenda. Mr Marles on Saturday drew a parallel to Australia's own defence reviews that occur with changes in government, suggesting similar evaluations are a normal part of alliances. His comments follow the arrival of the USS America in Sydney on a goodwill visit on Saturday. "When we came to government, we did a review of our defence posture ... AUKUS was a key part of that, just as the British did when the new British Labor government came into power in July last year," Mr Marles told reporters in Geelong. "It is a very natural thing for an incoming government to engage in a review of this kind. It is actually exactly what we did. That's what the Trump administration are doing, we welcome it and we'll engage with it." Opposition Defence spokesman Angus Taylor, who was on the USS America as it made its way though the Sydney Heads, also stressed the critical nature of the US alliance. However he additionally emphasised the importance of adequate funding to support the objectives of the AUKUS. "We call on the government to make sure they engage with the United States to ensure AUKUS is successful into the future," Mr Taylor said. The AUKUS pact is aimed at countering China's growing influence in the Indo-Pacific. A key component of the pact is the provision for Australia to acquire nuclear-powered submarines, a capability deemed essential by the government for bolstering national security. Under the $368 billion submarine program, Australia is set to acquire at least three nuclear-powered Virginia-class subs from the US in the early 2030s before a new fleet is built for delivery from the 2040s. Australia has already demonstrated its commitment to the AUKUS partnership, paying almost $800 million to the US in February - the first of a number of payments - to help boost its submarine production. Prime Minister Anthony Albanese left Australia on Friday for the G7 summit in Canada but it is unclear if he will be able to secure a meeting with President Trump while there. Mr Albanese previously rebuffed calls from the US for Australia to lift its defence spending to 3.5 per cent of GDP.
