President Donald Trump’s nominee to serve as the next head of U.S. Central Command warned lawmakers on Tuesday that Iran still has “considerable tactical capabilities” even after recent airstrikes from Israeli and American forces, and will remain a security threat for the foreseeable future. Vice Adm. Charles B. Cooper II, who has served as the top deputy at Central Command since February 2024, said that the recent assaults have degraded some of Iran’s military but declined to give specifics on whether their fledgling nuclear program has been eliminated. Even without it, he said that Iranian aggression and support for militant…

According to the country’s Ministry of Health, the 52-year-old man became infected with the HPAI (highly pathogenic avian influenza) after he had handled sick and dead poultry only two days before experiencing symptoms, such as fever, cough, shortness of breath, and difficulty breathing.

These schools train the subalterns for routine jobs. They certainly do not train entrepreneurs. An entrepreneur cannot be trained.
