Two central threats remain: rockets and drones.

This requires a combination of operational and technological activity.

We are making a very large technological effort to solve these problems.

If we solve this, we are on the path to disarming Hezbollah.

This is the main weapon it has left. It has about ten percent of the missiles it once had.

The proposal includes postponing discussions regarding the nuclear program.

Iran’s proposal outlines a 3-phase peace plan beginning with ending the war and ensuring it does not resume.

Iran has told mediators it is still seeking to retain control over the Strait of Hormuz.

He’s concerned key munitions may be running low, which could weaken U.S. readiness for other conflicts.

Pete Hegseth and military leaders insist supplies are “robust” and the campaign has been highly successful. But internal assessments suggest Iran still retains much of its military capability, and U.S. forces have used a significant portion of critical weapons.

Vance has avoided directly accusing Pentagon leaders of misleading the president but continues pressing for more accurate assessments.

Leaked lecture suggests Peter Thiel has been promoting a very unconventional worldview, mixing tech optimism with apocalyptic religion, and even told JD Vance to “ignore the pope on moral questions” and just “pray for him.”

In those lectures, Thiel reportedly framed the Antichrist not as a traditional evil figure, but as someone who tries to stop technological progress.

He warned about “legionnaires of the Antichrist”, including people pushing limits on AI or climate policy.

He even mentioned Pope Leo XIV in that discussion.

The bigger concern is influence: Thiel helped fund Vance’s political rise (about $15 million) and sees him as a “generational bet.”

Wow, Jimmy Kimmel, who is in no way funny as attested to by his terrible Television Ratings, made a statement on his Show that is really shocking. He showed a fake video of the First Lady, Melania, and our son, Barron, like they were actually sitting in his studio, listening to him speak, which they weren’t, and never would be.

He then stated, “Our First Lady, Melania, is here. Look at Melania, so beautiful. Mrs. Trump, you have a glow like an expectant widow." A day later a lunatic tried entering the ballroom of the White House Correspondents Dinner, loaded up with a shotgun, handgun, and many knives. He was there for a very obvious and sinister reason.

I appreciate that so many people are incensed by Kimmel’s despicable call to violence, and normally would not be responsive to anything that he said but, this is something far beyond the pale.

Jimmy Kimmel should be immediately fired by Disney and ABC. Thank you for your attention to this matter!

The U.S. and Israel assumed at the very beginning that this problem could be solved within a few days.

But today we must acknowledge: it has not been solved.

That is why we, from the European side, are also seeking a diplomatic solution.

I hope that we succeed, but I am not certain.

It is difficult to understand Israel’s lack of appropriate response to Ukraine’s legitimate request regarding the previous vessel that delivered stolen goods to Haifa.

Now that another such vessel has arrived in Haifa, we once again warn Israel against accepting the stolen grain and harming our relations.

I feel like sometimes we act in Israel's best interests rather than in our own best interests.

The Israelis, of course, are going to jump up and down and yell about the Irish and Spanish and the Italians, right?

But we should, you know, let them vent and then do what's in the best interest of the United States.

That's it, because the CIA analysis has been consistent over the course of decades.

We can't just fire a couple of rockets and take down a government in a country of 93 million people.

That's just not the way real life works.

They're going to rally around their leadership because we're outsiders.
