Donald Trump has very clearly wanted certain things out of the war with Iran, whether it’s the end of the Iranian regime, a full, permanent elimination of Iran’s nuclear capability, or, more recently, a full reopening of the Strait of Hormuz, or a return to the waterway’s pre-war status quo.
It’s now looking increasingly unlikely that Trump will emerge from the conflict with any of those things. So now the president, who prides himself on being a dealmaker, will need to find a deal he can live with—one that will likely include some sort of compromise on his original, lofty goals.
Lt. Gen. Doug Schiess has been confirmed as the newest chief of space operations, allowing him to become the third person to ever serve as the Space Force’s highest-ranking officer.
The general was nominated for the role in April by President Donald Trump. Senators approved Schiess’ confirmation Thursday night in a unanimous consent vote. After previously serving as the service’s deputy chief of space operations, Schiess is now set to receive his fourth star and take the helm of the Pentagon’s youngest military service as it undergoes major change and growth.
He will be replacing Gen.
Donald Trump is negotiating with Iran, and September is beginning to set the terms. Nobody in the administration is going to say that the refinery maintenance schedule is shaping this decision. Nobody needs to.
The calendar does enough work on its own to explain why Washington might now accept a deal it would have rejected only weeks ago.

The Air National Guard is offering $7,500 bonuses to entice active duty airmen to transfer into state units for three years of service, officials announced. Airmen already in guard units who reenlist will also be eligible for the bonus.
The bonuses, which Air National Guard officials said were part of a “summer surge incentive,” are part of new recruiting and retention initiatives across the force, officials said in a release.
The Air National Guard’s recruiting goal for 2026 is to add nearly 11,580 airmen this year to its current force, according to Air Force Maj.
It is well known that drones are helping Iran wage asymmetric warfare against a superior opponent — yet less visibly, but just as importantly, satellites are playing the same role. On July 27, Iranian lawmaker Ahmad Ardestani said, “it is natural for China and Russia to say they do not help Iran, but in reality, they do … their satellites help us.” In today’s world, though, it is no longer just state actors that are active in space. Commercial space efforts are advancing globally, often to America’s detriment.
Nine years ago, I took off my uniform for the last time. A decade in the Army as an infantry officer, three combat deployments, countless more to various training centers scattered around the country, and a lifetime’s worth of memories. I used a military recruiting firm and luckily ended up with an HVAC sales company that specifically targeted veterans and transitioning military personnel.
Now, years later, I find myself in the position of running a large commercial division for a mechanical contractor, with full control of who to hire.
In the late 19th century, the city of Hilo on the island of Hawaii was in peril.
Mauna Loa, the world’s largest active volcano, posed an imminent threat to Hilo (pronounced HEE-low) after it erupted on May 1, 1880. It blew again six months later, and as the lava flow poured down the mountain and toward Hilo, its residents became increasingly concerned.

As Ukraine expands its long-range strike campaign against Russia beyond the planned 40 days, Russia is seeking to exploit Kyiv’s biggest strategic weakness: a shortage of interceptors capable of shooting down ballistic missiles out of the sky.
Russian forces fired 24 ballistic missiles during a roughly two-hour-long assault on Kyiv and surrounding regions early on Wednesday, August 5, alongside four other missiles and 115 drones.
