Iran Signals Readiness, Says Energy Network Can Withstand Any Attack

Iranian officials say the country’s energy system is fully prepared to handle potential strikes, stressing that its infrastructure is strong enough to keep running even during major attacks. They pointed to the scale of the network, noting that Iran operates around 130 large power plants and roughly 400 smaller ones, which they claim ensures steady electricity supply without disrupting daily life for civilians.

According to the statement, the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps has long relied on its own independent backup systems, including diesel generators and dedicated power sources built directly into key military locations. The message was clear: attempts to shut down power or cripple operations would fail, as missile systems and command centers are designed to keep functioning without interruption.

Officials also emphasized that the civilian power grid is structured to prioritize homes and essential services, saying this setup would prevent widespread hardship among the population. Overall, the remarks were framed as a show of Iran’s resilience, suggesting the country can keep normal life running for its citizens while continuing military operations if conflict intensifies.

American says she went to school, got a good job but can never repay her student loans because of the interest

Just one loan has $600 per month interest, the principal is $600. That’s $1,200 on one loan per month and she has many

“I can't explain the darkness that I feel like has come over me these last few weeks since I found out and being too afraid to even think about the other ones. But I noticed that it wasn't moving and how unfair, like I did everything I was supposed to — I did everything that I was supposed to do and I had to do it by myself”

Now she’s realizing no matter how hard she works, no matter how much she pays she will never be able to pay off these loans or even bring any of the balances down

“It feels so unfair. It's working to just turn your, your whole check over to student loans.

How unfair is this American dream? This is an American nightmare — there's nothing else that I can do. There's nothing else that I can do.”

Our government became a loan shark with student loans. These rates are predatory

What is happening on Kharg Island?

The US has now conducted more than 50 strikes on Iran's Kharg Island today.

Yet, US officials are refusing to provide much material information on these strikes so far.

This marks the first wave of strikes on Kharg Island since March 13th, when Trump said the US "totally obliterated every military target in Iran's crown jewel."

Kharg Island, which is one-third the size of Manhattan and located in the Persian Gulf, controls ~90% of Iranian crude oil exports.

If no peace deal is reached before 8 PM ET tonight or Trump's deadline is not moved, Kharg Island's oil infrastructure could become a legitimate target.

These strikes would significantly intensify the ongoing energy crisis in Asia.

Keep watching Kharg Island.

The Artemis II crew explains to a young viewer why it can be hard to see stars in outer space.

Question: "I wonder, do you still see stars in outer space?"

Jeremy Hansen: "Yeah, I was actually just talking to my crewmates about that today. I've definitely seen stars in outer space, and I was saying I haven't as many as I thought I would. Reid?"

Reid Wiseman: "We have so much illumination from the sun on the moon and the earth right now, it is hard at times to see stars, just like when you walk out in the daytime, you see a blue sky but no stars."
