President Donald Trump’s suggestion that he would likely delay his planned state visit to Beijing by “a month or so” to focus on the war with Iran underscores the fragility of the U.S.-Chinese truce that has held since October. Expectations of a U.S.-Chinese thaw had resurfaced in recent months as both sides worked toward a summit, reduced tariffs and carried out a series of good-faith measures like delaying implementation of export controls.

Commander-in-Chief of the Russian Navy Admiral Alexander Moiseyev has confirmed that the service will transition to fielding a nuclear powered attack submarine fleet comprised exclusively of Yasen and Yasen-M class submarines, otherwise known as the Project 885/885M, within the next 10 years.
Footage released from inside Israel has shown the impacts of multiple ballistic missiles launched by Iran against targets in the southern city of Dimona, striking near the country’s most sensitive nuclear site the Negev Nuclear Research Centre. Although Israel does not rely on nuclear power, the facility produces significant quantities of plutonium for a nuclear arsenal estimated at 80-400 warheads. Footage has shown Israeli anti-missile systems consistently failing to hit Iranian ballistic missiles, with strikes reported by Israeli sources to have caused over 100 casualties.

Just one day after Secretary of War Pete Hegseth announced an extension of the reinstatement window through April 1, 2027—and reduced the active-service obligation from four years to two—this initiative now stands as a critical test of whether high-level intent can overcome entrenched execution barriers.
The Department of War’s renewed effort to reinstate service members separated under the COVID-19 vaccine mandate represents a significant and long-overdue policy shift.
A U.S. Air Force F-35A pilot whose fighter was hit by local air defences on March 19 has been confirmed to have suffered shrapnel wounds, according to the service’s official publication Air & Space Forces Magazine. “Though U.S. Central Command has not provided details, the aircraft was most likely damaged by a surface-to-air missile rather than by small-arms fire or another projectile, given the altitude at which the F-35 typically flies,” the magazine noted, which closely corroborated with footage released by Iranian sources showing a missile hitting the aircraft.
The British Royal Navy has deployed the Astute class nuclear powered attack submarine HMS Anson into the northern Arabian Sea, placing it within range to support strikes against Iran. The submarine departed from Perth, Australia, on March 6, 2026, and is now operating in deep waters in the Middle East. This follows the deployment of the Type 45class destroyer HMS Dragon to Cyprus to counter Iranian drone attacks, and deployments of F-35B and Eurofighter combat jets to further bolster regional air defence efforts. Iran has launched retaliatory strikes against the U.S.

The Army officially received its first version of a new Black Hawk helicopter, one modified to allow it to fly without a pilot if soldiers want.
On Friday, the Army said it took possession of the new modified Black Hawk, designated the H-60Mx. The helicopter is pilot optional, or as the military calls it, an “Optimally Piloted Vehicle.” Essentially, the new helicopter can be controlled by an Army aviator inside the aircraft, or remotely via tablet or it can fly autonomously.
A French sailor was trying to keep fit, going for a run and logging his progress on a smartwatch. He ended up revealing an aircraft carrier’s position as it sails towards the Middle East.
The French aircraft carrier Charles de Gaulle, the French Navy’s flagship, was ordered to head to the Middle East from the Baltic Sea on March 3, a multi-week journey, but its exact location in the Mediterranean Sea was revealed on March 13 when a French sailor posted his 7-kilometer run to the Strava fitness app, with his data public.
Washington — A federal judge has ruled that the Defense Department’s controversial press policy violates the First and Fifth Amendments, granting a major victory to The New York Times and its reporter Julian E.
