Green Bay, Wisconsin – 11/17/2025
In a nail-biting game that ended with a narrow 27-20 victory over the New York Giants at MetLife Stadium, the Green Bay Packers not only earned valuable points but also faced a major concern when running back Josh Jacobs had to leave the field due to a serious knee injury. The incident occurred in the first half, when Jacobs – the leader of the rushing attack with 648 yards through 10 games – was powering forward into a violent collision with the Giants defense.
Jacobs, 27 years old, suddenly collapsed on the turf in excruciating pain, unable to get up and requiring immediate medical attention. The sight of him trying to push himself up with his hands only to fail left the entire sideline in stunned silence. The team confirmed it was a knee injury (knee contusion), with imaging tests scheduled for Monday to determine the severity. Doctors fear it could involve ligament damage that threatens to end his promising season early, though the initial assessment suggests surgery may not be required.
After the game, in the locker room with red-rimmed eyes, Jacobs shared his raw emotions: "I’ve never played a game this brutal in my life. They were coming from every direction, and the only thing I was thinking about was keeping my feet to lead the drive. I felt my knee bend in a horrifying way I never want to experience again. But I still tried to hold on for a few more seconds. That’s my responsibility, that’s my job for this team."
Jacobs has become a reliable pillar of the Packers offense, posting impressive numbers: 648 rushing yards and 11 TDs through more than half the season, leading the team in touches. His potential absence would be a massive blow to the running game, which already faced heavy pressure from the Giants defense. Head coach Matt LaFleur expressed his support: "We’ll pray for the best outcome, but we have to prepare for every possibility."
Jordan Love, who directly benefited from Jacobs’ effort before he left the field, didn’t hide his gratitude: "He fought until the very last second. I owe him a lot." This victory not only helped the Packers strengthen their position in the NFC North race (now 6-3-1) but also underscored the fragility of a key offensive piece amid the brutal collisions of the NFL.
The entire team is anxiously awaiting the test results, hoping Jacobs can return soon to continue his promising journey. With the resilience he has shown, this young man will surely be an inspiration to his teammates. The Packers now need to unite more than ever to overcome the challenge.

Saturday, March 14, 2026 Iran has warned it will destroy oil infrastructure linked to the United States after Washington launched an attack on Tehran's oil lifeline.
The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) dismissed U.S. President Donald Trump's claim that the defense systems on Kharg Island had been completely destroyed. The IRGC confirmed that U.S. forces targeted around 15 sites, including Iran's air defense positions, the Joshen naval base, an airport control tower, and a helicopter pad. However, they insisted that the island's defense systems were operational again within an hour after the strike.
The IRGC also emphasized that no oil infrastructure on Kharg Island—which handles approximately 90% of Iran’s oil exports—was damaged in the U.S. airstrikes.
Tehran reiterated its warning that if its energy infrastructure were attacked, all oil facilities in the region that benefit the U.S. and its allies would be "set ablaze and destroyed."
A spokesperson for Iran's Khatam al-Anbiya Central Command also warned that Tehran would turn all oil infrastructure linked to the U.S. across the Middle East into "ashes" if any of Iran's facilities were attacked.
On March 13, President Donald Trump reaffirmed his previous statement that the U.S. military campaign against Iran was "far exceeding expectations." However, he declined to provide any specific timeline for the end of the conflict.

In a post on social media, Trump declared that Iran had been "completely defeated" in the U.S. and Israeli military campaign. He claimed that Iran sought a deal, despite Iranian officials asserting that they would continue the war.
“Fake news doesn’t want to report on how well the U.S. military is doing against Iran, a country that has been completely defeated and wants a deal—but not one I will accept!” Trump wrote on Truth Social.
Kharg Island: The Heart of Iran’s Oil ExportsThe island of Kharg, a small strip of land roughly 8 km off Iran's coast, had remained relatively untouched in the first two weeks of the war. Located in the northern Persian Gulf, Kharg is crucial to Iran's oil export system and a significant revenue source for the Tehran government. Approximately 90-95% of Iran’s crude oil exports—around 1.7 million barrels per day in 2025—pass through Kharg before reaching international markets.
Kharg is connected by pipelines to major oil fields on Iran's mainland and has large deep-water ports capable of handling some of the world’s largest oil tankers. This infrastructure allows Iran to efficiently transport crude oil to buyers, particularly in Asia.
