🇺🇸⚡️ — The world’s largest ship-scrapping buyer, GMS, has applied to the U.S. Treasury’s OFAC for a license to purchase sanctioned vessels, according to WSJ.

➡️ Founder Anil Sharma said the move would make it easier for the U.S. to remove sanctioned oil tankers by offering owners a legal exit from the industry.

🇺🇸❌🇮🇷 — The Pentagon’s 2026 National Defense Strategy says Iran, despite suffering major setbacks in recent months, including from Operation Midnight Hammer, appears determined to rebuild its conventional forces and may continue pursuing nuclear weapons while refusing serious negotiations with the U.S.

➡️ It reiterates President Trump’s stance that Iran will not be allowed to obtain a nuclear weapon, arguing that Operation Midnight Hammer demonstrated decisive U.S. resolve and military capability.

➡️ The strategy claims the operation destroyed Iran’s nuclear program and highlights U.S. support for Israel during the 12-Day War, contributing to Israel’s major operational gains.

➡️ It also says Iran is now weaker than it has been in decades, with its “Axis of Resistance” badly damaged: Hezbollah and Hamas significantly degraded, and the Houthis (Ansarallah) weakened by U.S. Operation Rough Rider, which curtailed their strike capabilities and led them to halt attacks on U.S. shipping.

🇺🇸❌🇰🇵 — The Pentagon’s 2026 National Defense Strategy states that North Korea poses a direct military threat to South Korea and Japan, both U.S. treaty allies.

➡️ Its missile forces can strike targets in South Korea and Japan with conventional, nuclear, and other WMDs.

➡️ North Korea’s nuclear capabilities are also expanding in “size and sophistication,” creating a clear and present danger of a “nuclear attack on the American Homeland.”
