Now that the wars with Hamas, Hezbollah and the Houthis have seemingly ended, and the border with Syria relatively quiet, Prime Minister Bibi Netanyahu has turned his attention to Iran. In a recent meeting with President Donald Trump, the subject of American support for an attack on Iran’s nuclear program was discussed. Though the details have not been revealed, it has been suggested that the US is weighing options for supporting a potential Israeli attack on Iranian nuclear facilities.

Betrayal of trust is a hard thing to overcome, and the latest memo out of the Pentagon addressing the process to correct military records of those who refused to comply with the illegal order to receive an unapproved and experimental “vaccine” is just the latest.
The memo below has gaping holes in its language. It also puts an enormous bureaucratic burden on those who already paid a heavy price for refusing to comply with illegal orders.

The United States and India are launching a new Autonomous Systems Industry Alliance (ASIA) aimed at boosting co-development and co-production of maritime drones and counter-drone systems.
The announcement was made in a joint statement issued by President Donald Trump and Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi late Thursday night. Modi was in Washington on an official visit.
Via the ASIA initiative, the two nations hope to “scale industry partnerships and production in the Indo-Pacific.
As the Russian invasion of Ukraine nears its third anniversary later this month, there is little doubt that Moscow has the upper hand both politically and on the battlefield.
Even though roughly 800,000 Russian soldiers have been killed or wounded since the war’s onset, Russia has been able to absorb its losses and continue to generate combat power, while Ukraine faces a serious manpower shortage, a recent report found.
Now, President Donald Trump has vowed to end the war as relations between Washington, D.C.

Why didn’t the United States annex Canada during earlier historical periods? In short, because it didn’t want to. President Donald Trump has drawn widespread criticism (dating back to before his first term) for seeing U.S. foreign policy in ways that reflect the international politics of the 19th century rather than the 21st century. There are many reasons for this — from his mercantilist economic perspective and readiness to raise tariffs to his devaluing of U.S. alliances and skepticism toward international institutions.

Sources in the UK tell AFP that as Trump’s 12 noon deadline Saturday for hostages to be released in Gaza approaches, B-52s are landing in the UK at RAF Fairford, at possible staging bases.
The venerable B-52 is a favorite of president’s to show force globally. The aircraft are nuclear and conventional capable, and have a robust standoff weapons delivery capability.
It is obvious the aircraft wanted to be seen and The White House is sending a message to the mullahs in Tehran, as he did via King Abdullah recently during a meeting in Washington.

An Air Force reservist in Ohio may have a unique insight on that age-old barroom debate, “which service should I join?”
Air Force Reserve Staff Sgt. Robert Meyers has spent 12 years in the military, with stints in three different services, spending enlistments in the reserve ranks of the Army and Navy as well as the Air Force.
“I kind of took an approach in my career that I would take on whatever comes up,” Meyers said in an Air Force news release.
Roberts spent six years in the Ohio Army National Guard, which included a deployment to Guantanamo Bay, working in detainee operations.
When your service member is deployed, the last thing you want to do is spend hours in the kitchen cooking for yourself (and possibly the kids) every night. Crockpot meals are the ultimate hack—they save time, minimize cleanup, and provide nutritious, home-cooked meals with almost no effort.
This guide includes 5 easy, military spouse-approved crockpot recipes that require minimal effort, use affordable ingredients, and can be prepped ahead for easy freezer meals. Whether you’re feeding just yourself or cooking for kids too, these slow cooker meals make deployment life a little easier.

The Space Development Agency is looking for industry to conduct studies on how the organization’s Proliferated Warfighter Space Architecture (PWSA) can be integrated into President Donald Trump’s ambitious plans to boost homeland missile defense.
SDA published a solicitation on Wednesday calling for “executive summaries” from vendors interested in performing 60-day studies focused on leveraging the PWSA and other capabilities into the “Iron Dome for America” — a sprawling effort to improve the United States’ defenses against advanced adversary missile threats.

The aircraft carrier USS Harry S. Truman and the merchant vessel Besiktas-M collided about 11:46 p.m. on Wednesday in the Mediterranean Sea, Navy Cmdr. Timothy Gorman, a Navy 6th Fleet spokesman, announced.
Both ships were operating near Port Said, Egypt, at the time, Gorman said in a brief news release.
“The collision did not endanger the Harry S. Truman (CVN 75) as there are no reports of flooding or injuries,” Gorman said. “The propulsion plants are unaffected and in a safe and stable condition. The incident is under investigation.
The UK’s Ukraine package, valued at £150m, comprising a range of ground platforms and drones, was overshadowed by new US defence priorities.
This is part one of a three-part series examining the conclusion of the Army’s transforming-in-contact 1.0 initiative and looking forward to the next iteration.
Pulling on lessons from Ukraine, an Army unit testing an experimental concept recently employed the most drones it’s ever used in an exercise of its kind, to great effect against the enemy, according to officials.
3rd Brigade, 10th Mountain Division was the third and final unit to participate in a large training exercise as part of the first iteration of what the Army is calling “transforming-in-contact.

SecDef Hegseth has made it abundantly clear Fort Benning is coming, again.
“There’s a reason I said Bragg and Benning when I walked into the Pentagon on day one. But it’s not just Bragg and Benning — there are a lot of other service members that have connections, and we’re going to do our best to restore it. It’s an honor to do so,” he said at a press conference.
“But it’s about that legacy.
