Scott Bessent on Elon Musk’s new “America” party:
"The principles of DOGE were very popular. If you looked at the polling, Elon was NOT."
"I believe those Board of Directors at his various companies did not like this announcement [of a new party] yesterday."

According to Ukraine’s Main Directorate of Intelligence, Russia is actively working to involve Laos and other allied nations in its war against Ukraine, following North Korea’s deployment of up to 12,000 troops to Russia’s western border. As part of this effort, the Kremlin is reportedly preparing to send around 50 Lao People’s Armed Forces (LPAF) combat engineers to Russia’s Kursk region, under the pretense of a “humanitarian mission” in support of Russian forces. Ukrainian intelligence also notes that Laos is providing free rehabilitation services for Russian soldiers wounded during operations in Ukraine.

Following hours of nationwide disruption on Saturday, internet connectivity in Iran has returned to normal. The outage occurred shortly after Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei made his first public appearance since the war with Israel began, raising questions about the timing.
I understand your point. I used "Iran-backed Houthi rebels" because it's the most commonly used term in international reporting. But you're right — using consistent language across all actors matters. I’ll keep that in mind for future posts.

• Past: Justice (Reversed) - Your past is marked by a time of unfairness and dishonesty. You may have been a victim of injustice or have been dishonest in your own dealings with others. It is important to make amends.
• Present: The Hanged Man (Reversed) - In the present, you are at risk of being too resistant to change. It is time to let go of your old ways of thinking and to embrace a new way of being. Don't let your fear of the unknown keep you from finding happiness.
• Future: The Hierophant (Reversed) - The future holds a warning against blind faith. It is important to question everything and find your own truth. Don't let others tell you what to believe.

🚨Israel 🇮🇱: The Israel Defense Forces detected the launch of a ballistic missile from Yemen.
If it was just a single missile, it’s likely a provocation by the Houthis.
According to the Israeli Air Force, the ballistic missile—launched by the Iranian-backed Houthi rebels—was intercepted before it could enter Israeli airspace.

Former CIA officer Dan Hoffman told Fox News that the large-scale strike on Kyiv, which came shortly after Putin’s call with Trump, was no coincidence. He said the timing was a deliberate show of strength from Putin. Hoffman urged the U.S. to call Putin’s bluff by ramping up support for Ukraine, tightening sanctions, and delivering all the weapons Ukraine needs.

Pro-Palestinian Arsonists Set Fire to Melbourne Synagogue During Evening Prayers

Prime Minister Netanyahu has approved the departure of an Israeli delegation to Qatar to move forward with ceasefire negotiations regarding Gaza.
According to the Prime Minister’s Office:
“The amendments Hamas proposed to the Qatari framework, received last night, are unacceptable to Israel. After a situation assessment, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has directed the negotiation team to accept the invitation for proximity talks and continue efforts to secure the return of our hostages, based on the Qatari proposal—already accepted by Israel.”
The delegation is scheduled to depart for Qatar on Sunday.

The Peruvian government has confirmed a $3.5 billion deal to purchase 24 JAS 39 Gripen E/F fighter jets from Sweden, opting against the U.S.-made F-16s and France’s Rafale jets. Meanwhile, Colombia is also expected to finalize a purchase of around 20 Gripens in the coming weeks.
It’s remarkable how old weapon systems are performing unexpectedly well in such a high-tech war like Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. Weapons once considered obsolete and outdated have now become essential on the front lines. In this video, for instance, we see a Zu-23-2 in action — a Soviet-era twin-barreled 23mm anti-aircraft cannon developed in the 1960s. Although it had long been relegated to museums and army scrap depots, it is now widely used by Ukraine to defend — with great success — against Iranian-made Shahed drones launched by Russia.

Trump on Iran’s nuclear program:
“I would say it's set back permanently. If there were to do it again, they might as well start in a different location because that location is totally demolished. They could start, but I would think they would have to start at a different location, but if they did start it would be a problem. We wouldn't allow that to happen.”

Laos is set to deploy troops to Russia to assist in operations in the Kursk region. The Laotian forces will focus on demining efforts, allowing Russian soldiers currently assigned to that task to be redeployed to the front lines in Ukraine. Laos, a communist state since 1975, has maintained close ties with Russia and other former Soviet allies.

🚨Hamas is expected to announce tonight that it has accepted the framework of the agreement, according to Israel Hayom.
According to Axios, senior Israeli officials are growing concerned that Hamas may attempt to renegotiate the “keys”—the ratio of prisoners to hostages—in the ongoing ceasefire and hostage deal discussions.
U.S. envoy Steve Witkoff’s original proposal outlined the release of 125 convicted Palestinian murderers and 1,111 Gazans detained after October 7 in exchange for 10 living hostages.
However, a revised proposal from Qatar this week omitted any reference to specific numbers. When questioned, Qatari mediators said the ratios would be “similar” to Witkoff’s plan but offered no concrete guarantees.
“If Hamas agrees, we’ll move into intense proximity talks over the keys. It’s going to be difficult, and a breakdown is possible,” a senior Israeli official warned.
According to information released by the Kremlin, during the phone call between Trump and Putin—the sixth since the beginning of the year—Putin told Trump that Russia will not back down from any of its demands in Ukraine and will not give up any of the points it has previously presented. He also stated that Russia wants to address the “root cause of the problem,” meaning Putin seeks the removal of Zelensky’s government and the annexation of all occupied regions, including those not yet under Russian control. Despite this, Putin emphasized his desire to continue peace negotiations.
According to the Kremlin, Trump responded by saying he wants to end the war quickly.

Ukraine has not received any official notice of delays or changes to the schedule of defense aid deliveries, according to a statement from the Ministry of Defense.
“The Ministry of Defense of Ukraine has requested a call with U.S. counterparts to clarify the situation. Any outcomes from these discussions will be communicated through both the Ministry of Defense and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs,” the statement said.
