COLUMBIA, S.C. — The final day of South Carolina’s Republican U.S. Senate runoff campaign on Monday came with a major cash infusion for Sen. Darline Graham from MAGA Inc., the super PAC that supports President Donald Trump and aligned Republicans but has spent little thus far on the president’s midterm candidate picks.

The spend of nearly $830,000 came as Graham and Rep. Ralph Norman wrapped up their compressed campaigns to win South Carolina’s GOP nomination in a special primary to replace the late Sen. Lindsey Graham on November ballots. 

Tuesday’s Senate runoff tests the heft of both a famous political last name and the endorsement of Trump, who is backing Darline Graham and campaigned in the state for her days ahead of the vote.

Iran puts out propaganda video tracking Barron Trump’s location, offering $10 million for his assassination

By Timothy Nerozzi

The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps is putting a hit out on President Donald Trump’s son, Barron Trump, with an inflammatory video claiming to track his location.

State-run television in Iran is broadcasting a propaganda video claiming to show the locations of his residence, university, and personal security, according to opposition outlet Iran International. The video, titled “Where and how should we kill Barron Trump?”, claims a person working with the Guard has infiltrated Barron Trump’s circle and fed information to the terrorist group.

Graphics, maps, and models in the video are crudely rendered in computer-generated animation, and the Guard offered no proof of its claims to have Barron Trump “fully monitored.”

Iran’s report concludes with a $10 million offer for the life of the president’s son, speculating that “many would be willing” to attempt the crime.

While the subject of the threats and their prominence on state-run media channels is surprising, it is not unprecedented rhetoric. The Iranian regime has a long history of threatening the lives of Trump, his family, and his allies — often in graphic ways.

Iran’s D-Day Has Begun

Kevin McCullough | Aug 24, 2026

OPINION

The opinions expressed by columnists are their own and do not necessarily represent the views of Townhall.com.

Iran has spent months threatening the world over the Strait of Hormuz.

Don’t cross us. Don’t challenge us. Don’t ignore our rules. Don’t cooperate with the Americans.

Or else.

Well, the ships are moving.

That’s the part Tehran can’t explain away.

Traffic through the Strait of Hormuz has begun recovering despite Iran’s threats, even as the regime announces new penalties for vessels that refuse to play by its rules. Some ships are using routes Iran doesn’t recognize. Others are sailing with their transponders switched off, making the precise traffic picture difficult to measure. But the larger point is becoming harder for Tehran to hide: intimidation isn’t working the way it used to.

Iran, naturally, is handling this with all the composure you’d expect.

Mohsen Rezaei, the regime’s new security chief, warned that countries cooperating with America’s economic campaign could be treated as committing an “act of war.” Tehran is also threatening retaliation against neighboring countries and economic interests if they help Washington tighten the screws.

Threats. More threats. And then some threats about the previous threats.

Here’s a thought.

Maybe they’re nervous.

Because while Tehran is busy telling everybody what terrible things it might do, Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent is preparing to tell the world what the United States actually will do.

Bessent calls it an “economic D-Day.” He says the administration intends to marshal America’s financial power to isolate Iran and force countries still doing business with the regime to make a choice. Keep financing Tehran, or maintain access to the world’s most important financial system.

Bessent Issues Strong Warning If Countries Do This With Iran

Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent is threatening serious restrictions on countries that are still financially cooperating with the Islamic Republic of Iran in “Operation Economic Outcast,” as the Trump administration is hoping to economically cripple the nation.

Bessent made it clear that countries with a relationship with the Islamic Republic should align themselves with the United States rapidly.

"Those who stand with the United States will reap the rewards of our partnership. Those who tether themselves to the Iranian regime should expect to share in the isolation of a withering regime," he said.

🚨@SecScottBessent sends a warning to any nation aiding the Iranian regime:

"Nations that facilitate any interactions with the regime should quickly heed our message.

Last week, President Donald Trump declared “ECONOMIC D-DAY,” effectively noting a new phase of the conflict. Bessent noted during a press conference on Monday that multiple countries are in communication with the U.S. after the announcement.

“Any entity that facilitates money laundering on behalf of Iran will be removed from the U.S. dollar system. The clock just started ticking. The new sectoral sanctions determinations issued today target five of Iran’s most vital lifelines that it exploits in other countries: digital assets, technology, gold, aviation and shipping,” Bessent said.

“These measures broaden secondary sanctions risk for anyone foolish enough to continue conducting business with this regime, and will accelerate the speed with which we pursue them,” he added, noting that the Office of Foreign Assets Control “is also sanctioning over 60 entities, individuals, and vessels around the world that enable the Iranian regime to procure illicit nuclear and missile technology, conduct cyber operations, and generate oil revenue.”

“This is a sustained campaign to collapse every last option for Iran,” the secretary continued.

In Trump's post last week, he said that "ANY country that allows its financial institutions, businesses, airports, or government entities to provide any type of lifeline to Iran will itself face TREMENDOUS Economic Consequences."

Iranian Foreign Affairs Minister Abbas Araghchi blew off the Trump administration's new economic plans against the country.

"The so-called 'Economic D-Day' is a diversion from America's own crisis: unprecedented debt & surging interest costs. Doubling down on failed policies will only bring further defeat—and enmity of Iranians. US economic terrorism threatens global economy and sovereignty worldwide," he posted to X on Thursday.

Fauci Ally's Guilty Plea Renews COVID Scrutiny

VIDEO

By Michael Katz | Monday, 24 August 2026 03:20 PM EDT


The guilty plea last week of a key player in Dr. Anthony Fauci's inner circle at the National Institutes of Health has renewed scrutiny of the former top infectious disease official and what he knew about efforts to conceal records related to the origins of COVID-19, the Washington Examiner reported Monday.

Dr. David Morens, 78, a former senior adviser to Fauci, pleaded guilty Aug. 18 to a federal conspiracy charge stemming from a scheme to evade Freedom of Information Act requests and federal records laws involving coronavirus research grants.

Morens was indicted in April after a congressional investigation scrutinized his efforts to assist Dr. Peter Daszak, his friend and head of the research firm EcoHealth Alliance, after the NIH terminated funding for a bat coronavirus project that included work at the Wuhan Institute of Virology in China.

According to the Department of Justice, Morens admitted conspiring with others to help restore the terminated grant and counter claims that COVID-19 leaked from a laboratory. The conspirators agreed to conceal their communications from public disclosure by using Morens's personal Gmail account instead of his government email address.

Morens also admitted conspiring with a co-conspirator to pay illegal gratuities.

The co-conspirator gave Morens wine for his "behind-the-scenes shenanigans," and Morens identified an official act he could perform to "deserve" the gift: writing a scientific commentary in a prominent medical journal advocating that COVID-19 had natural origins, according to prosecutors. The co-conspirator also suggested providing Morens other things of value, including meals at Michelin-starred restaurants in Paris, New York, and Washington.

Morens faces up to five years in prison.

President Donald Trump, sitting in his presidential limousine, took a lap around the Freedom 250 Grand Prix racetrack in Washington, D.C., ahead of the main event on Sunday.

Trump arrived at the district’s first-ever IndyCar street race with first lady Melania Trump and others.

The president pushed for the district to host the IndyCar race for months to celebrate America’s 250th birthday. The event is one of the final Freedom 250 events this summer. 

Here is a glimpse of Trump arriving at the Freedom 250 Grand Prix before the race started:

Trump is winning the Iran war— stay the course

Even before Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent sets out new US moves to pressure Iran’s economy, things are looking increasing grim for Tehran; President Donald Trump is clearly winning and mainly needs to hold firm as the enemy tries to wriggle out.

Crucially, oil is now flowing through the Strait of Hormuz, meaning Tehran’s gambit of closing it has failed.

And the neighbors that Iran has been attacking have had enough: Its largest trading partner, the United Arab Emirates, last week cut off all transactions including financial ones.

Dubai for decades has been key to Tehran’s evasion of sanctions as well as over a third of its imports.

Iranian inflation was already running over 90% amid mass unemployment and other crises, leaving the regime increasingly unable to pay its regular army.

Now even the Revolutionary Guard should soon feel the pinch — endangering the regime’s ultimate linchpin.

Iran Parliament Speaker: 'We Are Hungry, We Cannot Survive'

VIDEO

By Newsmax Wires | Sunday, 23 August 2026 06:39 PM EDT

Iran's Parliament speaker has issued an unusually stark warning about the country's deepening economic troubles, declaring that even a powerful military cannot protect the Islamic Republic if its people are hungry and the economy continues to deteriorate.

Mohammad Bagher Qalibaf, one of the country's most senior political figures, made the comments during a meeting with Iranian and Iraqi economists in Baghdad, according to Middle East news outlet Al Bawaba.

"No matter how strong our military power becomes, if we are hungry, we will not be able to endure," Qalibaf warned, according to the report.

The comments represented a striking acknowledgment from inside Iran's leadership that the country's economic crisis could threaten its ability to maintain national security and political stability.

Qalibaf said military power cannot be separated from economic strength, describing security and the economy as "two wings" that depend upon one another.

Iran Is Losing Its Grip As New Data Show Ships Thumbing Their Noses at Them in Strait of Hormuz

By Nick Arama | 11:50 AM on August 23, 2026

Strait of Hormuz. (Redit: MODIS Land Rapid Response Team, NASA GSFC)


The U.S. has been quietly helping ships get through the Strait of Hormuz since May.

While Iran has demanded that ships use its approved route to the north, it appears Iran has lost any grip it may have had on the Strait because traffic has reportedly increased by nearly 400 percent over the last two weeks.

How is that happening? The ships are increasingly using the U.S.- supported southern route and thumbing their noses at the Iranian regime's route.

Nearly 200 ships navigated the strait last week, up from 150 the previous week and just 40 two weeks earlier, according to data from the UK Maritime Trade Operations Center. [....]

More than 80% of liquid cargoes transiting the Strait of Hormuz over the past two weeks have either taken the Omani route — a US-backed, UN International Maritime Organization-authorized channel Iran rejects — or gone “dark,” likely slipping through the same corridor, according to maritime intelligence firm Kpler.

“It increasingly looks like Iran has at least partially lost control of the strait,” Homayoun Falakshahi, head of crude oil analysis at Kpler, told CNN this week. 

Using the Omani route, they can avoid any attempt by Iran to try to extort them for a toll. They've been hugging the coast of Oman and turning off their transponders, so it's harder to track or attack them.
