How the US has shifted military jets and ships in the Middle East

The U.S. is shifting military aircraft and warships into and around the Middle East to protect Israel from Iranian attacks.

The U.S. is shifting military aircraft and warships into and around the Middle East to protect Israel from Iranian attacks as President Donald Trump warns Tehran to step back from the conflict. Trump’s social media posts saying his patience with Iran was “wearing thin” have raised the possibility of deepening U.S. involvement, perhaps by using its bunker-busting bomb to strike a key Iranian nuclear site built deep underground in the mountains.

Tulsi Gabbard left no doubt when she testified to Congress about Iran’s nuclear program earlier this year. The country was not building a nuclear weapon, the national intelligence director told lawmakers, and its supreme leader had not reauthorized the dormant program even though it had enriched uranium to higher levels. But President Donald Trump dismissed the assessment of U.S. spy agencies during an overnight flight back to Washington as he cut short his trip to the Group of Seven summit to focus on the escalating conflict between Israel and Iran.

Astronomers discover the largest 'ultramassive' black hole ever seen

Astronomers detect an ultramassive black hole weighing 36 billion suns in the galaxy LRG 3-757, a record thanks to gravitational lenses.

Astronomers have uncovered what may be the heaviest black hole ever directly measured. Located at the center of a galaxy nearly six billion light-years away, this ultramassive cosmic monster is estimated to weigh in at 36 billion times the mass of our Sun. This discovery was made in the foreground galaxy of a rare gravitational lensing system known as the Cosmic Horseshoe, which was first identified in 2007.
