Iranian Presidential Advisor Hints at Targeting Trump Properties After Trump Threatened Iranian Cultural Sites

Last week, President Donald Trump ordered an airstrike that killed Iran's top general, Qasem Soleimani, worsening the growing tensions between the United States and Iran.

As millions gathered to mourn Soleimani, Iranian leaders vowed to take "harsh revenge" against the United States.

It's unclear what form this revenge will take. So far, Iran has said it's no longer bound by the Obama-era nuclear agreement limiting the country's enrichment of Uranium. Hackers attributed to Iran also appeared to hack the Federal Depository Library Program website to feature an image of a battered Trump and a condemnation of the strike.

There's likely more to come, but the specifics have yet to be revealed.


Hesameddin Ashena, a leading adviser to Iranian President Hassan Rouhani, may have just given us a chilling hint.

Ashena tweeted a video about Trump's real estate properties, along with a quote from Iran's late leader, the Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini.

The quote reads:

"I tell the whole world that if the world wants to stand up to our religion, we will stand up against their whole world."

Some considered the tweet a threat to retaliate against Trump's numerous properties across the United States.

A large amount of Trump properties are hotels and resorts, which led some to urge people not to stay at the properties while tensions with Iran approach a boiling point.





The response also highlighted why a President balancing private business dealings with public duties can pose a threat to national security.



Trump has threatened to target Iranian cultural sites—a war crime—to counter any retaliation by Iran.

Stephen Colbert Makes Somber Plea To Americans In Wake Of Charlie Kirk's Death

Late-night host Stephen Colbert had a somber message for Americans as he addressed the assassination of far-right activist Charlie Kirk, stressing that "political violence only leads to more political violence."

Kirk died after an unidentified gunman shot him in the neck as he—ironically enough—mocked victims of gun violence at an event in Utah Valley State University. Kirk's murder has galvanized the far-right, with President Donald Trump and his surrogates claiming without evidence that rhetoric from Democrats is responsible for Kirk's death.

TikToker Hilariously Calls Out Target After Champion Pants Feature Awkwardly-Placed Front Pleat

Sometimes you can just tell when something was designed *for* women, but was not actually designed *by* women.

Take, for instance, the new pleated pants available at Target from the Champion clothing line. While there's nothing wrong with pleated pants and they certainly have a suitable spot in the workplace, the latest rendition of Champion pleated pants are, shall we say, NSFW.

Woman Goes Viral After Revealing How Her Obsession With Matcha Landed Her In The Hospital

Let's be honest: Too much of anything isn't good for us. It's all about the balance!

But the media and social media trends have taught us that certain things are really good for us, encouraging us to be like the "very mindful and very demure" girls and take care of ourselves. One such example is drinking more matcha, especially if you really like coffee or think you have a caffeine addiction.
