CENTCOM: US Conducting Additional Airstrikes Against Iran, Attempting To Teach Tehran A Lesson...Will It Work?

Trump warned at Ankara he would hit Iran again — and he followed through. CENTCOM confirms additional strikes to degrade Iran's ability to threaten freedom of navigation in the Strait of Hormuz. JD Vance: "They can either follow it or they can have exactly what happened to them last night. It's going to keep on happening."

CENTCOM confirmed ~90 Iranian targets struck overnight — radar, air defense, drone/missile storage. Iran hit four US Gulf bases with missiles and drones. Bahrain sirens sounded a third time; reporter on the ground confirmed actual explosions. All of this as Iran buries Khamenei in Mashhad — 15 million expected to attend.

Trump's Ankara Reversal — Ukraine Gets Patriot Manufacturing License As NATO Wraps Summit With €70B Pledge

Trump told Zelenskyy the US will grant Ukraine a license to manufacture Patriot interceptors domestically — a request Kyiv has sought for years. NATO allies pledged €70B for Ukraine in 2026, though analysts note it largely repackages existing commitments. Meanwhile Trump publicly savaged Spain as "a terrible partner" and Denmark felt compelled to reaffirm sovereignty over Greenland.

Ukraine Drones Hit Blue Stream Pipeline Compressor — Targeting Russia's Gas Lifeline To Turkey On Day One Of NATO Summit In Ankara

Ukraine struck the Krasnodarskaya compressor station on July 7 — a critical node in the Blue Stream pipeline carrying Russian gas directly to Turkey under the Black Sea. Gazprom claimed deliveries were unaffected; this is the second reported attack on Blue Stream infrastructure in recent weeks. Erdogan is now in an impossible position: NATO allies' weapons are hitting infrastructure that heats Turkish homes.

Watch: The Basics Work — Shooting Down A Ukrainian Drone With A Mad Max Vehicle

Sometimes the low-tech solution wins. Forces take out a Ukrainian drone using a jury-rigged "Mad Max" vehicle — a machine gun mounted on a stripped-down truck. Proof that battlefield ingenuity beats a billion-dollar budget every time.

Breaking Exclusive: Personnel Changes At Kremlin As Pressure Applied By NATO, Global War Gets Closer, Russians Miffed Over Broken Alaska Promises

CDM sources: NATO long-range strikes on Russian critical infrastructure are forcing urgent personnel changes at the Kremlin. "The threat of a nuclear exchange has never been higher," one source said. Russian leadership also feels betrayed by broken promises from last year's Trump-Putin meeting in Alaska — "There were promises made and they have been broken."

The Ghost Of The LCS Maintenance CONOPS Still Haunts The Fleet

The Navy outsourced ship maintenance to civilian contractors — and the fleet has paid for it ever since. A $3,040 panel takes 8 months to fix via contractor; a trained Marine could do it in 4 hours for a fraction of the cost. The right-to-repair fight now in the NDAA could finally break the defense industry stranglehold.

While Ukraine Empties Out, Globalist NGOs Are Recruiting Replacements In India

A billboard in India reads: "Create a family. Search Jobs. Create the future. Select Ukraine!" Ukraine's population has collapsed from 50M to under 22M — death rates now nearly triple births. The IOM is orchestrating the import of 4.5 million migrants from India, Bangladesh, Pakistan, and Africa to fill the void. Who decided replacement was the answer instead of peace?

US Strikes Bushehr Nuclear Perimeter; Iran Fires On Jordan As Guns Fall Silent

Iran accuses the US of striking ground near the Bushehr nuclear plant — CENTCOM neither confirms nor denies. Tehran responded by firing 10 ballistic missiles at a US base in Jordan, and targeting Bahrain, Kuwait, and Qatar. Mediators are now scrambling to restart talks as an uneasy silence descends over the region.

Ukraine Farce: Lviv Draft Clash Prompts Criminal Probes And Military Self-Review As Bounty Hunters Encite Rage Among Ukrainians

A crowd of ~200 civilians overturned a Ukrainian Territorial Recruitment Center vehicle in Lviv after a bounty hunter reportedly yelled “Get that one, he’s worth $2,000!” Criminal probes were opened — while the military simultaneously launched a rare self-review of its own recruitment officers.

Attacks on TRC personnel have surged: just 5 in 2022, 341 in 2025, and more than 100 already in 2026.

Russia Hits Kyiv With Iskander Ballistic Missiles Before Dawn — Air Defenses Can't Stop Them, And Zelensky Knows It

12 guided missiles hit three Kyiv districts overnight — six Iskander-M ballistics got through air defenses. Zelensky's own words: "not the ballistic missiles." NATO Patriot interceptors promised at Ankara still not in Ukrainian hands.

As The SAVE Act Stalls, Two Senate Traitors Are Gone In A Week. Coincidence?

McConnell — cardiac arrest, vanished June 14. Graham — dead July 11, one day after Kyiv. Both blocked election integrity for Americans. Intelligence agencies have long been able to cause heart attacks. And somewhere, Puccini plays on.

China’s Pacific SLBM Test Near Tuvalu Triggers Australia-Fiji Mutual Defence Pact And Pacific-Wide Security Alarm

Iran Formally Closes Strait Of Hormuz, Rejects Trump Ultimatum — But UKMTO Opens Oman Southern Channel To Two-Way Traffic

Tehran has formally closed the Strait of Hormuz to all shipping, rejecting Trump's ultimatum as Iran's navy enforces the blockade. UKMTO is routing vessels through Oman's southern channel as a workaround — but the strait itself is shut.

The Cost Of Half-Empire

America exercises imperial power without accepting imperial responsibility. The result is lives spent, money burned, and influence diminished — from Iraq to Iran. Half-measures provoke resistance without producing lasting order.
