I Remember Iran

On November 4, 1979, militants seized the U.S. Embassy in Tehran, taking 52 Americans hostage in a crisis that lasted 444 days and permanently reshaped U.S.–Iran relations. The takeover followed the Islamic Revolution that removed the pro-Western Shah and altered Iran’s political direction. The hostage crisis became a defining moment in how Americans viewed Iran.

I was a young airman with only a couple of sessions in the command center of a Titan II missile silo when the hostages were taken. Our squadron was placed on heightened alert — not since alerts during the Vietnam War had our nuclear arsenal been elevated that way. The tension wasn’t theoretical; it was operational, and many debating today’s conflict don’t remember Iran before 1979.

Austin Mass Shooting Heroes Before Grand Jury

Police officers credited with stopping the deadly mass shooting outside an Austin bar are expected to face grand jury review as part of the investigation. The gunman opened fire in the Sixth Street entertainment district, killing three people and injuring more than a dozen before officers responded and fatally shot the attacker. Authorities say the rapid response likely prevented additional casualties.

Still, the case will go before a grand jury, a step now common in officer-involved shootings. Supporters argue the officers did exactly what the public expects in a moment of chaos — stop the threat and protect lives.

How Much Is That Doggie in the Airport?

A traveler at Las Vegas’ Harry Reid International Airport was arrested after allegedly abandoning a two-year-old dog at the terminal when the airline would not allow the pet to board without proper paperwork.

Airport staff and animal rescue workers stepped in quickly to care for the dog and ensure it was safe. While it’s hard to imagine leaving a pet behind like luggage, the pup at least ended up in better hands.
