Saudi Arabia Expels Iranian Diplomats Over Aggression Against Kingdom

Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman

Saudis have had enough of Iran’s strikes.

The Iranian strategy of firing its missiles against the Gulf countries because of their collaboration with the US-Israeli strikes threatens turning these neighboring states against the mullahs’ regime.

In the case of Saudi Arabia, the threats of military action from Riyadh have evolved into the expulsion of Iranian diplomats over the aggression against the Kingdom.

Gulf News reported:

“The Saudi Ministry of Foreign Affairs renewed the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia’s unequivocal condemnation of the blatant Iranian attacks against the Kingdom, the states of the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC), and a number of Arab and Islamic countries.

[…] Reaffirming the ministry’s statement issued on 9th March 2026, […] the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia has notified the military attaché of the Embassy of the Islamic Republic of Iran to the Kingdom, the assistant military attaché, and three members of the mission staff to leave the Kingdom, and has declared them personae non gratae. They are required to depart the Kingdom within 24 hours.”

The Saudi Press Agency (SPA) stated that the continued targeting by Iran ‘constitutes a flagrant violation of all relevant international conventions, the principles of good neighborliness and respect for states’ sovereignty, the Beijing Agreement, and United Nations Security Council Resolution 2817’.

EFE reported:

“Saudi authorities warned that Tehran’s actions risk further escalation and could have lasting consequences for bilateral relations.

‘The kingdom will not hesitate to take all necessary measures to preserve its sovereignty, safeguard its security, and protect its territory, airspace, citizens, residents, and resources’, the Foreign Ministry said, citing Article 51 of the United Nations Charter, which recognizes the right to self-defense.

Since the start of the conflict involving the United States and Israel against Iran on February 28, Saudi Arabia, like other Gulf countries, has faced repeated missile and drone attacks, most of which have been intercepted by its air defense systems.”

College Student Wants 'Condemption' of Rapists but Doesn't Want ICE to Remove Them - She Also Can't Figure Out What ICE Stands For

If there’s one thing every generation of Americans has in common, it’s that they’re worried about the next generation.

And let me tell you, as a father of young children, I’m very worried about what’s around the corner for this country — and a viral clip making the rounds on social media is only amplifying those fears.

In January, “Her Patriot Voice” — a conservative YouTube channel run by Savannah Craven — posted a video showcasing her visit to Coastal Carolina University.

Craven was at CCU to discuss one of the more polarizing topics in modern discourse: Immigration and Customs Enforcement.

Sadly, instead of anything resembling nuance or thoughtfulness, Craven was met with, well, this:

While the entire 30-minute video will probably erase whatever shred of faith you had left in the modern American education system, there is one particularly troubling exchange I want to call a little more attention to.

At about 2:36 into the video, a young, black, female college student approaches Craven with a rather loaded question.

“Why would you say you support ICE?” the student asked Craven.

“Yeah, because they would get rid of these rapists and murderers that killed American women,” Craven responded without missing a beat and drawing attention to her poster.

And this is where the first blunder happened.

“So, are all of the immigrants that come into America rapists and killists?” the student fired back.

“Killists”? “Killists“??? Look, I’ve never been to CCU and it looks like a lovely campus, but hopefully this student isn’t in the school’s English program.

Craven, a much better person than me, didn’t hound the student about her vocabulary, and simply answered, “Nope.”

“Okay, so…” the student trailed off.

“So let’s get rid of these ones,” Craven said, pointing to her sign again. “You agree with that?”

“Yeah,” the student said.

“Okay, so you support ICE removing them,” Craven said.

“No.”

Craven then turned to the camera in a fourth-wall-breaking moment, as she tried to process the nonsensical logic. Little did she know she was about to be hit with another word that doesn’t exist.

“I support the condemption, as you said, of a rapist,” the student said before veering the conversation into some bizarre screed on race.

“Killist.” “Condemption.” Yowza. Perhaps unsurprisingly, the rest of the conversation did not go one iota better.

When Craven pressed the student to name one racist thing that President Donald Trump had done, she crashed out and started getting annoyed that Craven was a Trump supporter.

But the ultimate punchline? For as much of a bogeyman as ICE was to this student… she couldn’t even spell out what the ICE acronym stands for.

What you just watched in that exchange is a total and complete collapse in basic reasoning, and a textbook example of why you should never bring a butterknife to a bazooka fight.

The student’s argument, such as it is, seems to reduce down to something a toddler might say: removing people — even those she admits are worthy of condemption — is “mean,” and therefore it shouldn’t happen.

That kind of thinking might earn a sympathetic nod in a kindergarten classroom, but on a college campus, it’s beyond alarming. This is supposed to be the stage of life where young adults sharpen their critical thinking, not abandon it entirely in favor of whatever feels emotionally comfortable or acceptable in the moment.

And that’s the deeper issue here. It’s not about one awkward interview or one student fumbling through a tough conversation. It’s about an environment that appears to reward vibes over logic and slogans over substance.

When a student can simultaneously agree that violent criminals should be condemned but oppose removing them — and do so without recognizing the contradiction — I don’t think you could even describe that as a difference of opinion. It’s more akin to intellectual short-circuiting.

Worse still, the conversation quickly devolved into the all-too-familiar escape hatch: vague accusations and emotional deflection. Asked to provide a concrete example of alleged wrongdoing, the student pivoted, grew visibly frustrated, and leaned on broad, unsubstantiated claims instead.

It’s a pattern that’s become increasingly common: assert first, defend never, and when pressed, retreat into indignation rather than engage with the substance of the question.

If this clip is any indication, the concern isn’t just what the next generation believes — it’s how they think.

And if higher education is producing graduates who can’t follow a basic line of reasoning, can’t reconcile contradictions, and can’t defend their own positions under minimal scrutiny (to say nothing of the vocabulary), then the problem runs far deeper than politics. In fact, despite the topic of the video, this has very little to do with ICE or immigration.

It has a lot to do with whether the institutions tasked with shaping young minds are still doing that job at all.

Champagne socialists in Cuba stage concert, stay in 5-star hotel as country plunges into nationwide blackout

 Socialists from the US and Europe put on a concert in Cuba — just as the country was plunged into third blackout this month this month Saturday.

A convoy of socialists — including streamer Hasan Piker, the daughter of Rep. Ilhan Omar, members of Code Pink and lefty Irish hip-hop group Kneecap — is in Cuba with the goal of supporting Cuba’s oppressive communist regime.

But Piker and others have been dogged by criticism for staying in a 5-star hotel in Havana, and Kneecap played a concert in the capital city as the rest of the nation of 11 million people faced yet another major blackout.

Irish rap group Kneecap performed at a concert in Havana.

Kneecap previously was accused of supporting Hamas. At the group’s show, which appeared to be attended by only a handful of people, the rappers were filmed chanting “Free Cuba, f–k Trump, f–k Netanyahu.

The concert was put on by the leftist activist group Code Pink, which flew in protesters to the Cuban capital on Friday.

Code Pink founder Jodi Evans was pictured smiling in a pink keffiyeh as she posed for a picture with Piker in Cuba on Saturday.

“This is like the Fyre Festival for humanities majors with trust funds,” one X user wrote, referencing 2017’s infamous fraudulent music festival.

“‘Free Palestine’ while in Cuba… This is performative and embarrassing,” another X user wrote.

Meanwhile, in a viral video, a furious Cuban filmed himself going to a hotel in Havana where the Code Pink leftists are purportedly staying, enjoying electricity thanks to a generator, amid the nationwide blackout.

The “Nuestra America Convoy” sent in socialists from North America and Europe to Cuba, under the guise of handing out 20 tons of humanitarian aid to protest the US oil blockade on the island.

Cuba has seen its third national blackout this month, and its economy is on the brink of collapse.

Left-wing influencer Piker, 34, brazenly claimed that he was forced to stay in a luxury hotel in the communist nation, as he arrived in Cuba this week during an international aid convoy to the island.

“The American government makes it illegal for Americans to stay wherever they want in Cuba,” Piker, an ally of New York Mayor Zohran Mamdani, said on a recent streaming video from Cuba.

While the US government prohibits Americans from staying in accommodation owned by the Cuban government or senior regime figures, there are no stipulations regarding the quality of lodgings.

Also along for the ride is 23-year-old Isra Hirsi, the unemployed activist daughter of embattled “Squad” Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-Minn), as well as a delegation of Mamdani’s Democratic Socialists of America comrades.

The daughter of Ilhan Omar, Isra Hirsi, has also flown to the communist nation.Mike Gonzalez, a Cuban exile forced to leave his homeland at the age of 12, accused Code Pink of treating the dictatorship like an “ideological theme park” while locals face energy shortages.

“They’re staying at a five-star hotel while the island’s electrical grid has collapsed for the second time in a week,” Gonzales, a senior fellow at the Heritage Foundation, told Fox News.

“Meanwhile, these hundreds of communists from around the world are feasting on lobster tail and treating Cuba as an ideological theme park,” he said.

Some delegates were reportedly staying at the 5-star Gran Hotel Bristol Meliá Collection, where a room costs between $130 and $520 a night.

Jeffries: ICE Will Potentially ‘Brutalize,’ ‘Kill’ Americans at Airports

 

Sunday on CNN’s “State of the Union,” House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY) said Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) at airports could “brutalize” or “kill” Americans.

Host Dana Bash said, “We just heard from the white House about President Trump’s plan to deploy ICE agents to airports tomorrow.”

She asked, “What’s your response to what Tom Homan revealed here?”

Jeffries said, “Well, good morning. Great to be with you. There are three things that have been true since Donald Trump and Republicans came back into power last January. Life is more expensive. Life is more chaotic, and life is more extreme. The last thing that the American people need are for untrained ICE agents to be deployed at airports all across the country, potentially to brutalize or in some instances, kill them. We’ve already seen how Ice conducts itself. These are untrained individuals when it comes to doing the current job that they have. For the most part, let alone deploying them in close exposure and highly sensitive situations at airports across the country.”

He added, “It’s unfortunate that Republicans have decided that they would rather force TSA agents to work without pay inconveniencing millions of Americans all across the country, and now potentially expose them to untrained ICE agents and create chaos at airports throughout the land, rather than get ICE agents under control. Our basic premise and value proposition from the very beginning has been simple. ICE should conduct itself like every other law enforcement agency in the country.”

Massachusetts Man Charged With Threatening FBI Director’s Girlfriend

 Alden Ruml was arrested and indicted on federal charges for allegedly sending a threatening email to FBI Director Kash Patel’s girlfriend.

FBI Director Kash Patel speaks during an interview at the agency headquarters in Washington on Nov. 26, 2025.

A Massachusetts man is facing federal charges after allegedly emailing a threat to Alexis Wilkins, the girlfriend of FBI Director Kash Patel, according to court documents.

Alden Ruml, a resident of Cambridge, was indicted by a federal grand jury earlier this month, according to documents unsealed Thursday, for transmitting a threat in interstate commerce, stemming from an email sent on or around Feb. 28.

The email came from an anonymized address associated with Ruml’s Apple ID, and was sent to a publicly listed address on Wilkins’s website. 

“Do you know how happy I’ll be when your [expletive] face is canoed by an assault rifle? [2] Tick tock [expletive]. Watch your back. [emojis]” 

Authorities argued the term “canoed” refers to a V-shaped wound to the skull caused by high-velocity impact.

Wilkins received the email while in Arizona. She said the email frightened her and changed her travel plans as a result.

In an affidavit supporting a search warrant application, FBI Special Agent Keith A. Leavitt Jr. connected the anonymized email account to Ruml through Apple records, which showed Ruml’s primary Apple ID had generated 134 anonymized email accounts. Associated devices included an iPhone 17 Pro purchased in September 2025 and other Apple products registered to him.

Investigators with the FBI’s Boston Joint Terrorism Task Force executed a search at Ruml’s residence at 29 Concord Avenue, Apt. 606, in Cambridge. Ruml confirmed sending the email during an interview earlier this month, but denied any intent to harm Wilkins, the affidavit states. 

The indictment argues the communication crossed state lines via email, which means the interstate commerce element of the statute applies. If convicted, Ruml faces a penalty of up to five years in prison.

In a November 2025 interview, Patel told The Epoch Times that multiple threats against his girlfriend’s life led the FBI to assign her a protective detail, saying her life was “continuously being threatened.”

“When any individual across any agency head and their respective spouse or partner has a threat to their life, we come in hard. And unfortunately, there are multiple threats against Alexis’s life that have caused us to properly secure her safety, and that is done independently by career FBI agents,” Patel said. 

“I don’t have any part in that. They make those decisions. They are the ones doing the security backgrounds and security analysis,” Patel said.

An FBI spokesperson confirmed in a statement at the time that Wilkins received a security detail because hundreds of death threats had been made against her life due to her relationship with Patel.

The Epoch Times reached out to an attorney for Alden Ruml and Patel for comment and did not immediately receive a response.
