The Iranian attempt to establish equations and change reality will fail.

We will continue to act and deepen the damage to the terrorist organization Hezbollah and protect the northern communities.

The IDF is on alert and will act forcefully wherever we identify a threat to the citizens of the State of Israel.

Following the initial report regarding a shooting toward IDF soldiers operating in the Ramim Ridge area, IDF soldiers operating in the area identified a terrorist in Israeli territory, near the Israel-Lebanon border.

The soldiers eliminated him shortly after he crossed into Israeli territory.

IDF ground soldiers, including special forces, along with Israeli Air Force aircraft, were dispatched to the scene and continue to conduct extensive searches in the area.

SIPRI estimates that the nine nuclear powers — China, France, India, Israel, North Korea, Pakistan, Russia, the UK, and the U.S. — possessed about 12,187 nuclear warheads as of January 2026, with roughly 9,745 in military stockpiles and around 4,012 deployed on missiles and aircraft.

The report says Russia and the United States still dominate global nuclear forces, accounting for roughly 83% of military-use warheads and 86% of the world's total nuclear arsenal.

However, China's arsenal grew from an estimated 600 to 620 warheads over the past year, making it the fastest-expanding nuclear force.

India is also believed to have slightly increased its arsenal while continuing to develop longer-range delivery systems capable of reaching targets across China. Pakistan continued developing new delivery systems and accumulating fissile material that could support future arsenal growth.

SIPRI noted that France, the UK, Israel, and North Korea are also modernizing their nuclear capabilities.

The institute warned that decades of reductions in global nuclear stockpiles may soon be reversed as countries deploy new weapons and slow the dismantling of retired warheads.

Every American should love tariffs.

For the first time, we will introduce the possibility of a full third-country ban for crypto asset services.

It will act as a strong deterrent for countries hosting platforms that help Russia evade our sanctions.

We propose for the first time to ban from entry into the European Union anyone who has served in the Russian Armed Forces since the beginning of the war.

Europe stays off limits for anyone who has participated in the invasion of Ukraine. As simple as that.

Weapons for civilians. All the time, all the time, weapons save lives.

I tell citizens and residents: go arm yourselves. It saves lives.

Latvian Prime Minister Andris Kulbergs said the deal will provide Latvia with access to technological expertise and create opportunities for joint production in the drone sector.

Russia understands that if there are 600+ drones and missiles, they will feel this war just as we feel it, but they will feel it at home.

Ukraine needs Europe, and Europe now needs Ukraine.

Europe cannot rearm effectively without Ukraine. And our support to Ukraine is not charity; it is self-defense. We need to deter Russia.

As one partner said today during our meeting, Europe cannot protect itself without Ukraine. And it means Ukraine has to be in NATO.

Hegseth has removed numerous senior military leaders, intervened in promotions, centralized decision-making, and restricted access to information.

One example cited was the dismissal of Army Chief of Staff Randy George after months of tensions with Hegseth. George had sought a meeting to improve relations but was fired before it took place.

Many senior Pentagon personnel now avoid attracting attention from Hegseth’s office out of concern for potential career consequences, which some describe as an atmosphere of distrust and internal friction.

Hegseth’s office has rejected the claims, arguing that leadership changes were necessary to align the military with administration priorities.
