Despite US President Donald Trumps bravado, World War 3 is on the verge of happening – and the United States has a lot of possible targets. With enemies mounting, from Russia to Iran to China and maybe North Korea, the possibility of a full-scale war breaking out is rising.

And while Trump has claimed to have brokered ceasefires, peace deals and more across several battles, not many of them have stuck – and tensions are rising.

So the Daily Star has put together a handy guide of where Americans should avoid going if war were to break out, and we used Google's artificial intelligence-powered large language model called Gemini to do so.

Trump Privately Approved of Attack Plans for Iran but Has Withheld Final Order

As the conflict between Iran and Israel continues, President Trump is considering multiple options, including a U.S. strike on Iran

President Trump told senior aides late Tuesday that he approved of attack plans for Iran, but was holding off to see if Tehran would abandon its nuclear program, people familiar with the deliberations said. Iran’s well-defended Fordow enrichment facility is a possible U.S. target; it is buried under a mountain and generally considered by military experts to be out of reach of all but the most powerful bombs.


Asked if he had decided whether to strike at Iran’s nuclear facilities, Trump said, “I may do it, I may not do it.” And he repeated his insistence of Iran’s unconditional surrender: “The next week is going to be very big, maybe less than a week.”


Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei earlier said his country wouldn’t surrender and warned any U.S. military intervention would bring irreparable consequences.


The U.S. military has built up forces in the Middle East in recent days. A third U.S. Navy destroyer entered the eastern Mediterranean Sea and a second U.S. carrier strike group is heading toward the Arabian Sea. While the Pentagon said the military build-up is purely defensive, it better positions the U.S. should Trump decide to join Israeli attacks on Iran. It could also be a tactic to pressure Iran to capitulate or make concessions.


Israel and Iran have continued to exchange fire, and the death toll in Iran rose above 450, according to a human-rights group. In Israel, 24 people have died as a result of Iranian strikes.


What else to know:

Sen. Ted Cruz (R., Texas), who earlier sparred with talk-show host Tucker Carlson over the conflict, sees a possible U.S. bunker buster strike in Iran, but no boots on the ground.

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said that Israel is advancing “step by step” toward eliminating Iran’s nuclear program and its ballistic missiles.

The Israeli military said it struck eight Iranian attack helicopters at a military base and 40 missile-infrastructure components in western Iran.

The U.S. Embassy in Israel is arranging evacuation flights for American citizens seeking to leave the country, Mike Huckabee, the U.S. ambassador to Israel, said.

Today's Show: DEATH OF POPE FRANCIS & THE NEXT POPE - 4.30.2025

Chris discusses the stories surrounding the death of Pope Francis, the first official Jesuit pope in Rome. We consider his influence and legacy for the Catholic church in the next generation. Also discussed is the so-called prophecy of "St. Malachy" who is said to have predicted the number of popes all the way to the end of the world. Supposedly, the now-deceased pontiff was to be the final pope. Will there be a successor? And if so, will he take the name of Petrus Romanus? We review the history of the controversial prophecy of the popes and show what most modern historians and critics believe concerning it. We also consider whether the movie "Conclave" was somehow a foreshadowing of who or what the next pope might be.

President Trump endorses Cardinal Raymond Burke as potential successor to Pope Francis

April 21, 2025



Following the death of Pope Francis, attention has shifted to who will succeed him in the papal conclave. Cardinal Raymond Burke has emerged as a key conservative candidate. The 76-year-old American cleric from Wisconsin is known for his firm traditional views and past disagreements with the late pope.

Burke’s name is in the mix as 138 cardinals prepare to meet in secrecy to elect the next pope. While bookmakers currently place him sixth among the contenders, his visibility has increased due to support from U.S. President Donald Trump. Trump has hailed Burke as a champion of traditional Church values, especially during conflicts with Pope Francis.

Previously, Burke served as the Archbishop of St. Louis and was called to Rome by Pope Benedict XVI. However, tensions arose under Pope Francis, who removed Burke from key positions in the Vatican. Burke has often criticized the Vatican’s more inclusive approach on issues like LGBTQ rights and divorce.

As the conclave approaches, other candidates include moderates and progressives like Pietro Parolin and Luis Antonio Tagle. Burke’s candidacy—backed by political forces—raises questions about the future direction of the Church. It remains to be seen whether the next pope will continue Pope Francis’s progressive legacy or revert to traditionalist leadership.

Rome — April 2, 2025

In 1990, as Argentina's Jesuits were divided over the church's role in the country's politics and society, frustration with the future Pope Francis' leadership style resulted in his two-year exile in Cordoba. Then-Fr. Jorge Mario Bergoglio used his solitary time in a Jesuit residence to pray, write and read — including a five-volume series on the history of the papacy.

Francis later would describe his "dark night of the soul" as a "time of purification" for his inner life.

Three decades after that spiritual crisis — at age 88 — Francis is facing another spiritual crossroads as he recovers from his most serious physical challenge. His five weeks hospitalized for double pneumonia that twice nearly cost him his life provided time to reflect on his life thus far and what he hopes to accomplish before he dies.

'He has a great ability to learn from life, from whatever comes, to grasp beauty even in dark moments. … I am sure that something very beautiful will come out of this experience.'

—Cardinal Victor Manuel Fernandez

In his March 30 Sunday Angelus reflection, Francis alluded to his illness, encouraging the entire church to view the current Lenten season as a time of healing.

"I too am experiencing it this way, in my soul and in my body," he wrote, saying that his health was improving.

Pope Francis is still in the hospital fighting off an infection and 'complex clinical' condition as many are left wondering who might be next in line for the pontiff seat.

The 88-year-old Argentinean pontiff has been suffering from a respiratory infection after a weeklong bout of bronchitis worsened; he was admitted to Rome's Gemelli hospital on Friday, according to news reports. He is the 266th pontiff of the Catholic Church and sovereign of Vatican City since 2013.

Pope Francis is reported to be in "stable" clinical condition as he continues receiving treatment for bronchitis. In his youth, he endured severe pneumonia and had part of one lung removed. He uses a wheelchair, walker or cane to aid in walking because of reportedly bad knees and sciatica nerve pain and, more recently, he's suffered two falls.

Concerns over Pope Francis' health have mounted in recent years as have questions about his succession.

Here's what we know about who the next pope might be after Pope Francis.
Who is Pope Francis?

Pope Francis is the head of the Catholic Church and sovereign of the Vatican City State since March 13, 2013. He is the first pope from the Society of Jesus, the first from Argentina and the Americas.

Key Points

• Pope Francis is hospitalized as he recovers from a sinus infection.
• If the pope were to resign over health concerns, a new pope would be selected through a process called the conclave, which consists of a vote by members of the College of Cardinals.
• Two U.S. archbishops are considered papabile, or frontrunners for pope. One of them is Boston's former archbishop Cardinal Sean Patrick O'Malley.

As Pope Francis continues to recover from a respiratory infection, some have questioned whether he would consider stepping down from his role due to health concerns like his predecessor, Pope Benedict XVI.

WE ARE NOT TO SET TIME

WE ARE NOT TO SET TIME

By earnest prayer and careful study of the book of Daniel, a sincere, God-fearing New England farmer, William Miller, was guided by God to crack the code of Daniel 8 and 9, and discover that a major event was predicted to occur near the half-way mark of the nineteenth century.

This date (later corrected to the autumn of 1844) was, indeed, the right one: Something very important was to occur on October 22, 1844 (Great Controversy, 456-457).

And it did.

A major new work began within the Sanctuary in heaven, a work of investigative judgment which you are acquainted with (Great Controversy, 409-432, 479-491). That event was one of the most important in all human history.

But another event also occurred on October 22, 1844, an event we rarely take notice of. It is unfortunate that we give it so little attention.

It is an event predicted in the book of Revelation:

And the angel which I saw stand upon the sea and upon the earth lifted up his hand to heaven. And sware by Him that liveth for ever and ever, who created heaven, and the things that therein are, and the earth, and the things that therein are, and the sea, and the things which are therein, that there should be time no longer.Revelation 10:5-6.

The Economist launches The World Ahead 2025–forecasting a year of uncertainty and instability with Trump upending global trade, economics and geopolitics

London, United Kingdom
November 19, 2024




The Economist has launched The World Ahead, an annual special year-end issue from The Economist that examines important themes, trends and events that will shape the coming year. The editor’s top ten themes for 2025 and the accompanying articles are online today on http://economist.com/worldahead2025. The full edition will be available digitally from November 21st, and included in The Economist’s weekly print edition dated November 23rd. The standalone print issue will be available on global newsstands from November 29th in the UK and Asia, from December 2nd in Europe and from December 11th in the United States.

Commenting on this year’s edition of The World Ahead, its editor Tom Standage said, “Donald Trump’s decisive victory and imminent return to the White House will, more than anything else, shape the coming year, with implications in many areas of policy, not just for America, but for the world. What will this mean for global security, the clean-energy transition, international trade and governments’ efforts to cut deficits? In a year that promises an unusual degree of change and uncertainty, The World Ahead helps you see around the corner and work out what might be coming next.”

In its 39th year, The World Ahead edition discusses a broad range of topics, but its top ten themes for 2025, distilled from its pages, are as follows:

1. America’s choice. The repercussions of Mr Trump’s sweeping victory will affect everything from immigration and defence to economics and trade. His “America First” policy will have friends and foes alike questioning the solidity of America’s alliances. This could lead to geopolitical realignments, heightened tensions and even nuclear proliferation.
