🇮🇩🇯🇵⚡- Japan has entered talks with Indonesia over a possible sale of the Asagiri-class destroyers, marking a further step in Tokyo’s gradual loosening of restrictions on lethal arms exports, a trend pushed by the new Takaichi government.

The move is unlikely to sit well with Beijing, with Chinese President Xi Jinping having recently reiterated his very strong opposition to Japan’s militarisation in talks with Donald Trump, and casts doubt over the Beijing-Jakarta relationship.

🇺🇸🇪🇺🇬🇧🇮🇱⚡️- Jewish community leaders in Spain, France, Britain, and Canada are in contact with State Department officials to explore the possibility of Jews migrating to the US under refugee or other protected status due to the nonstop rise of antisemitism across the West because of the Gaza war, and mass migration of Arabs and Africans into Europe and Canada (that the vast majority of jews supported).

The State Department has yet to indicate any actual program but confirmed these talks are happening.

Rabbi Yehuda Kaplum, the State Departments special envoy to monitor antisemitism, stated when asked by i24NEWS, "It is the government’s responsibility in those countries to make certain that the Jewish community has safety, security and the ability to practice their religion free from any type of harm. The U.S. government demands it.”

🇺🇸🇮🇷⚡️- "U.S. forces intercepted multiple Iranian ballistic missiles and drones launched by Iran toward the Strait of Hormuz and Gulf neighbors, June 5.

Iran fired seven ballistic missiles toward Kuwait and Bahrain hours after U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) shot down four Iranian one-way attack drones that were launched toward the Strait of Hormuz. The attack drones posed an immediate threat to regional maritime traffic. U.S. forces subsequently struck Iranian coastal surveillance radar sites in Goruk and on Qeshm Island to defend against further maritime attacks.

Initial assessments indicate six of the missiles launched by Iran were intercepted and a seventh did not reach its intended target. There are currently no reports of harm to U.S. personnel, and Iranian claims of damaging U.S. 5th fleet headquarters in Bahrain are false." - US Central Command.
