Nearly 250 years after he died in the Battle of Camden, researchers identified Pvt. John Pumphrey as one of more than a dozen Continental Army John Does that were found near the battlefield.
On Thursday, researchers in South Carolina announced that they confirmed the identity of one set of remains. Pumphrey, whose death was not recorded and whose identity was nearly lost to history, had been from a prominent Maryland family who enlisted in the Continental Army in his early teens.

How Iran Won the Negotiations Without A Military: A CNN report claimed on Thursday that U.S. intelligence agencies believe that Iran now has the ability to shut down the Strait of Hormuz whenever it decides to. If true, the assessment means that Tehran could once again hold the global economy hostage and has a major point of leverage over the next sixty days as Washington attempts to hash out a deal with the regime.
According to the report, U.S.
In February 2023, the Biden administration dashed Kyiv’s hopes of launching long-range strikes deep into Russia when it refused to deliver Army Tactical Missile Systems (ATACMS) to Ukraine. During meetings with the Pentagon, Kyiv representatives were told that Washington did not have sufficient ATACMS to spare to transfer to Ukraine. The Biden administration also expressed concern that providing long-range weapons would risk escalating the conflict and give Russian President Vladimir Putin an excuse to threaten or attack NATO territory.

On June 14, 2026, President Donald Trump took to TruthSocial to announce a deal with Iran. “I hereby fully authorize the toll-free opening of the Strait of Hormuz, and, simultaneously herewith, authorize the immediate removal of the United States Naval blockade. Ships of the World, start your engines. Let the oil flow!” he declared.
Trump’s belief in the power and permanence of his own agreements misunderstands Iran. Multiple power centers have always characterized the Islamic Republic, allowing the regime to entangle the United States in an elaborate game of good cop-bad cop.

The review aims to shift primary responsibility for European defense to European allies, with Hegseth stating that the assessment will identify which nations are prepared to step up and which are not. “Some countries will fail,” he told defense ministers, “while others will pass with flying colors.
