Tit-for-tat violence extends biggest flare-up under Trump’s new agreement with Iran.
The U.S. and Iran exchanged blows Saturday in the Persian Gulf, extending fighting around the Strait of Hormuz into a third day and testing a fragile ceasefire meant to end months of hostilities.
The U.S. operation targeted Iranian communication and air-defense sites, drone-storage facilities and minelaying capabilities, the U.S. military said, following what it said was an attack on an oil tanker in the strait. It was the second wave of American attacks in as many days as the U.S. seeks to degrade Iran’s ability to target commercial shipping.
Young men across Europe answered the call in 1914. Nations summoned millions to arms. Duty and loyalty drove them from villages and cities.
They expected quick campaigns and glory. They entered instead a war of machines and mud. Four years of stalemate followed.
Trenches scarred the Western Front. Rain turned earth to slime. Artillery hammered without pause. Men lived and died in the same holes.
A shell burst close by. The concussion reached the brain. Nerves gave way. Some shook without control. Others fell silent or fled inside themselves.
Doctors gave the condition a name. They called it shell shock. British forces recorded 80,000 cases. Officers broke first in higher proportions.
Treatment came late and uneven. Rest restored some men to duty. Others received harsher methods. Many carried the damage for decades. Similar breakdowns struck soldiers on every side.
Death took the largest share. France buried 1.4 million of its soldiers. Germany lost more than 2 million. The British Empire counted nearly one million dead.Most victims were under thirty. They had not yet married in large numbers. They left no children behind them.
Europe woke to a missing generation. France alone counted 500,000 young war widows. One million children lost their fathers. More than one million births never took place.
Women outnumbered men in the marriageable years. Many lived unmarried. Family lines stopped short. Germany and Britain faced the same imbalance. Russia and Austria-Hungary paid the identical price.
The guns fell silent in 1918. Survivors returned to changed homelands. Old empires lay in ruins. New borders appeared on maps. The peace that followed proved thin and bitter.
Another war arrived within a generation. The first conflict settled nothing lasting. It only shifted power and sowed fresh grievances.
Young men on all sides performed what their countries asked. Fate showed no preference for uniform or cause. It struck officers and privates alike. It erased futures without distinction.
The lost left empty places at tables. They left gaps in census rolls and family registers. Europe still measures that absence in its population curves and in its memory.
History notes the dates and the treaties. The dead and the broken remain outside the final accounting. They paid the full measure. Nothing restored them.
ChatGPT maker OpenAI said Friday it is restricting the release of its new artificial intelligence model at the request of President Donald Trump’s administration, the latest in an unprecedented government vetting of AI products for cybersecurity risks.
Its chief rival, Anthropic, announced hours later that the Trump administration has approved a limited release of its strongest cybersecurity model, two weeks after the U.S. Commerce Department effectively banned it.
Both companies said their newest models would be available to small groups of trusted partners. OpenAI said its new AI product, called GPT-5.6 Sol, would be accessible only to customers approved by the Trump administration.
“We don’t believe this kind of government access process should become the long-term default,” OpenAI said in a statement. The company said it viewed the testing period as a temporary step on the “path to broader availability in the coming weeks.”

A man has been arrested on suspicion of attempted murder after a car collided with multiple pedestrians.
Five people were injured, with two being treated at the scene and three taken to hospital after the incident in Ealing Broadway, London just before 2.30pm on Saturday.
A Metropolitan Police spokesperson said: “At this time, it is believed they have all suffered non-life-threatening or life-changing injuries.
“The car involved did not stop at the scene but was stopped in nearby Grange Park a short time later. The driver, a 34-year-old Somalia-born British man, was arrested on suspicion of dangerous driving and attempted murder.
“Due to the nature of the incident, local officers were in contact with officers from Counter Terrorism Policing London as they conducted their initial enquiries. While investigators are keeping an open mind as to any potential motive, the incident is not being treated as terrorism.

Some have struggled to hit consistently high framerates on the new hardware
Back before it launched, Valve was promising “4K gaming at 60 FPS” on its new Steam Machine gaming PCs. That claim was just deleted from the device’s hardware page. The change comes after early reviewers struggled to get certain games running at higher resolutions on anything but medium settings.
It was a bold claim and one that made the Steam Machine seem like it was punching well above its weight. An affordable gaming rig that delivers high visual performance and fidelity thanks to AMD FidelityFX Super Resolution? Where do I sign up? “In our testing the majority of Steam titles play great at 4K 60FPS with FSR on Steam Machine,” Valve wrote in a blog update earlier this year. “That said, there are some titles that currently require more upscaling than others, and it may be preferable to play at a lower framerate with VRR to maintain a 1080p internal resolution.”
