Why did US and Israel attack Iran and how long could the war last?

  Why did US and Israel attack Iran and how long could the war last? In the early hours of February 28, 2026, the United States and Israel launched coordinated military strikes on Iran, marking the beginning of a major conflict codenamed Operation Epic Fury by the U.S. and Operation Roaring Lion by Israel. This operation targeted key Iranian officials, military facilities, and infrastructure, resulting in the reported death of Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei and other high-ranking figures. The strikes followed weeks of heightened tensions, failed diplomatic negotiations over Iran's nuclear program, and accusations of Iran's support for regional militias. President Donald Trump announced the campaign in a video on Truth Social, emphasizing the need to eliminate threats from Iran's nuclear ambitions and missile capabilities. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu echoed these sentiments, viewing Iran as Israel's primary existential threat. The conflict has since ...

Scientists Create Blood Test That Predicts Dementia 25 Years Before Symptoms: A Breakthrough in Early Detection

In a groundbreaking development that could reshape the future of brain health, scientists have discovered a new blood test capable of predicting the risk of dementia up to 25 years before symptoms appear. This breakthrough, led by researchers from the University of California San Diego, offers new hope for early diagnosis, prevention, and treatment of one of the world’s most challenging neurological conditions.  The early stages of dementia, particularly Alzheimer's disease, have long been difficult to identify. By the time memory problems become noticeable, significant damage has often already occurred in the brain.  However, this new research suggests that a simple blood test could change that timeline dramatically. The study, which was published in the reputable journal JAMA Network Open, demonstrates how a specific protein in the blood may act as an early warning sign—years, or even decades, before cognitive decline begins. Understanding Dementia: A Growing Gl...
