F-22 Raptors have been pulled from Sunday’s flyover for Super Bowl LX at Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara, California by the U.S. Air Force due to “operational assignments,” according to Katie Spencer, the Sports Outreach Program Manager for the Department of the Air Force.

Despite being recently pulled from the event, the F-22s can still be seen alongside an Air Force B-1B Lancer and F-15C Eagles, in addition to Navy F/A-18E Super Hornets and F-35C Lightning lls, on the commemorative flight suit patch for the Super Bowl released by the Air Force.

Additional details have now been released about the highly classified whistleblower complaint last year against the Director of National Intelligence (DNI), Tulsi Gabbard; with an exclusive from The Guardian alleging that the complaint was filed after the National Security Agency (NSA), in Spring of 2025, detected evidence of an unusual phone call between an individual associated with foreign intelligence and a person close to President Donald J. Trump.

The call, which was deemed to be highly sensitive and has caused turmoil in Washington over the past week, was brought to the attention of Tulsi Gabbard, serving as the Director of National Intelligence, but rather than allowing the NSA to distribute the information further, she took a paper copy of the intelligence directly to White House Chief of Staff Susie Wiles. According to the complaint, Gabbard then told the NSA not to publish the intelligence report, instead instructing officials to transmit the highly classified details directly to the Office of the Director of National Intelligence.

On April 17, a whistleblower contacted the Office of the Inspector General of the Intelligence Community alleging that Gabbard had blocked highly classified intelligence from routine dispatch, according to Attorney Andrew Bakaj, who has been briefed on details surrounding the highly sensitive phone call flagged by the NSA. The whistleblower then filed a formal complaint about Gabbard’s actions on May 21.

Acting Inspector General Tamara A. Johnson dismissed the complaint at the end of a 14-day review period, writing in a letter addressed to the whistleblower dated June 6 that “the Inspector General could not determine if the allegations appear credible,” stating that whistleblower could take their concerns to Congress, but only after receiving guidance from the Office of the Director of National Intelligence.

Members of the “Gang of Eight”, a group of Senate and House leaders privy to classified information from the Executive, received a heavily redacted version for review on Tuesday. They have disagreed about the legality of Gabbard’s conduct, as well as the credibility of the whistleblower complaint, and have since contacted the NSA to request the underlying intelligence that the whistleblower says was blocked by Gabbard.

President Donald J. Trump will host an inaugural meeting for the Board of Peace on February 19 at 10:00am in Washington, in order to push the twenty-seven members of the board, which he chairs, towards the implementation of the second phase of the Israel-Hamas ceasefire deal and raise money for reconstruction of the Gaza Strip. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is scheduled to meet Trump at the White House on February 18, the day before the meeting, despite Israel having not yet officially joined the Board of Peace.

W95302, an Airbus A321 operated by Wizz Air on a direct flight between London an Tel-Aviv, was denied landing earlier today at Ben Gurion International Airport in Israel after reports of “suspicious behavior” onboard the aircraft, with it remaining in a holding pattern for several minutes off the coast as fighter jets with the Israeli Air Force were scrambled to escort the plane into Tel-Aviv.

Sources tell N12 that during the flight someone changed a WiFi account name to “terrorist” and began sending threatening messages to other passengers, causing concerns of a possible attack in Israel. Israeli Police were waiting on the tarmac once the plane landed, screening all passenger and luggage with dogs due to concerns of possible explosives or a security-related incident. Suspicions of a security incident have since been lifted, according to the Israel Airports Authority.

Unusual movements today and yesterday by the U.S. Air Force, with a train of at least dozen C-17A Globemaster IIIs arriving at or enroute to locations in Armenia and Azerbaijan, five just today, almost all coming from Ramstein Air Base, Germany though most originated from Dulles International Airport in Washington. In my opinion, these aircraft don’t appear to be carrying air-defense system or other equipment related to Iran, and instead suggest preparations for a possible unannounced visit to the region by President Trump. Vice-President JD Vance is visiting both countries later this week, though this appears to be a lot of aircraft for just the Vice-President, unless they are deploying separate motorcades and security teams to Armenia and Azerbaijan.

Sounds like these movements are all related to this week’s trip to Armenia and Azerbaijan by Vice-President JD Vance. Lots of airlift capability for just one person, though that person does happen to be the Vice President of the United States.

The Trump Administration has told Iran that it expects the Iranian delegation, led by Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi, to arrive at their meeting next week “with meaningful substance and concessions,” after Tehran ruled out a total halt to its uranium enrichment during Friday’s talks in Oman, two people familiar with the matter told The Jerusalem Post.
