Footage has been released by U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM), showing a drone launched by the Iranian-backed Houthi terrorist group in Western Yemen, being downed, likely over the Red Sea, by a F/A-18 “Super Hornet” using a Hydra 70 Rocket equipped with a AGR-20 Advanced Precision Kill Weapon System (APKWS).

Eyewitnesses report that tanks advanced along Salah al-Din Street toward Netzarim, Gaza.

From the Kennedy case investigation files, it appears that in August 1961, Mao Zedong and Fidel Castro offered military supplies and volunteers to Leonel Brizola, governor of Rio Grande do Sul, during the political crisis at the time.

After the Trump-Putin call, Russians scrapped the wartime symbol “ZVO” and replaced it with “We are together” near the U.S. embassy.

Yet, despite the call, ceasefire odds for this month have plunged to just 6% on Polymarket.

Witkoff on Trumps call with Putin:

“I thought the call was epic. I thought Jonathan, I thought it was, epic, transformational. I'll you know, those those are the sorts of adjectives that I use about this call.

The president and president Putin were in sync with one another. The call was outcome oriented. They were talking about how to save lives, how to stop, the carnage, and for me, I was proud to be an American sitting there listening to it”

Special forces units were instructed to prepare for deployment to Ukraine by military planners responsible for force preparation in the Cabinet Office, according to two military sources cited by The i Paper.

The UK's military planning command center, the Permanent Joint Headquarters, received directives last week to begin the process of deploying personnel and resources.

Orders, which also concern reservists of the special forces, involve bringing personnel to combat readiness to ensure the operability of military equipment before receiving notification of mobilization to Ukraine.

"It looks very strange. If Putin 'does not intend to continue fighting against Ukraine and wants peace,' then why is he demanding that we weaken our army?" - Zelenskyy.

For the fourth time in 3 days, the Houthis announce claims that they have targeted the USS Harry S. Truman (CVN-75) and its Carrier Strike Group (CSG) in the northern Red Sea. According to a Houthi release they targeted the CSG with “a number” of cruise missiles (anti-ship cruise missiles [AShCM]) and drones.

The Trump Administration tonight publicly released over 80,000 pages of documents into the Federal Archives, related to the assassination of President John F. Kennedy in 1963, his assassin Lee Harvey Oswald, the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) and the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), most of which comes from the U.S. House Select Committee on Assassinations (HSCA).

Several of the documents have been seen or spoken about publicly before, though a majority of the ones released are related to CIA activities, surveillance carried out on Oswald prior to the assassination, as well as the relationship and work done by Oswald with the CIA, which were previously not released due to concerns of harming “National Security.”

Those who have read though the documents prior to their release tonight have stated that there are no major “bombshells” in the pages, proving any kind of conspiracy in the assassination of JFK, such as the “Two Shooters Theory” or anything linking the assassination to the CIA or then Vice President Lyndon B. Johnson. With the notable documents released, relating to covert operations carried out by the CIA during the Cold War in Center/South America and Asia.

"The Future of War" with Erik Prince, the mercenary businessman behind Blackwater.

The questions were the best part. He mentioned Hernando de Soto, discussed the principle of subsidiarity, summarized the world's top 10 conflicts, and wrapped up by offering to take out Maduro for $100 million.

Marco Rubio on the Houthis:

“First of all, the Houthis don’t have the ability to do this without Iran helping them, okay? They don’t – I mean, they’ve learned how to make them, these drones and these sophisticated anti-ship drones, but this technology is coming from somewhere. Iran is helping them. Iran is helping them make these things, Iran is providing them the money to do these things, Iran is providing them with targeting information that they can use against us.

I mean, without Iran, there is no Houthi threat of this magnitude. I mean, there’s a Houthi threat inside of Yemen, but not a Houthi threat against our Navy and against commercial shipping.

So, Iran owns this problem. I mean, they created this Frankenstein monster, and now they got to own it. And I think we should hold them responsible. And as the President has said, if these guys keep doing this, we owe Iran responsible for having created it.”

TRUMP: "Canada was meant to be the 51st state — because we subsidize Canada by $200 billion a year."

Explosions and air-defense activity heard near Mezzeh Air Base to the southwest of Damascus, which was previously operated by the Syrian Air Force before the fall of the Assad Regime. Mezzah has been targeted several times before by the Israeli Air Force.

Houthi Foreign Minister Jamal Amer told Reuters during an interview on Monday, that they will not “dial down” attacks against Israeli shipping in the Red Sea in response to appeals from allies like Iran, adding that they are now at war with the United States and that “escalation is likely.” Amer further stated, “(The U.S.) is threatening Iran and hitting Yemen. Now all scenarios are possible. We will do what they will do to us. If they are hitting us from Truman, we will retaliate by hitting Truman,” before also threatening the Gulf States if they allow their bases to be used by the U.S. for strikes against Yemen.

In a joint statement, the defense ministers of Lithuania, Poland, Latvia and Estonia have announced their collective recommendation that their respective nations withdraw from the Anti-personnel Mine Ban Convention (Ottawa Convention). Citing the “deteriorated” security situation in Eastern Europe, the joint statement voices the defense ministers’ desire to field capabilities that give their respective forces the ability to respond to and defend against threats.

Note: This statement does not announce their withdrawal from the Ottawa Convention and instead communicates their desire to do so.

As reported by Sky News, British Prime Minister Keir Starmer had a phone conversation with U.S. President Donald Trump last night, ahead of the White House leader's discussion with dictator Vladimir Putin.

Starmer emphasized that Kyiv must hold the "strongest position" to achieve a just and lasting peace. He also informed Trump about upcoming meetings of the coalition of countries supporting Ukraine, noting that more than 30 nations will participate.
