Storm on the Horizon: Iran Issues Dire Warning After U.S. Naval Deployment

Tensions in the Persian Gulf have surged after Iran warned that any military strike by the United States would trigger an “all‑out war.” The warning followed the deployment of a U.S. naval “armada,” ordered by Donald Trump, to reinforce American presence in the region. Iranian officials described the move as a direct threat to their national security, insisting that even a limited attack would provoke a full‑scale response. The U.S. maintains that the deployment is meant to deter aggression and protect its interests and allies. Analysts caution that the situation is becoming increasingly volatile. With both nations adopting uncompromising positions, even a minor misstep could ignite a conflict far larger than either side intends. The world now watches closely as diplomatic channels strain under the weight of rising hostility.

CRA Extends Deadline for Claiming Charitable Tax Benefits

                                         

The Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) has confirmed the extension of the deadline for claiming certain charitable tax benefits for the 2024 tax year. Originally set to expire at the end of December 2024, the new deadline has been extended to February 28, 2025.

This extension aims to provide donors with additional time to ensure their contributions are received and processed, especially in light of the recent Canada Post mail stoppage. The CRA will administer this proposed legislation, consistent with its longstanding practice.

Individuals, corporations, and graduated rate estates can now claim eligible donations made up to the new deadline on their 2024 tax returns. For more information, visit the CRA website or the Department of Finance Canada website.
