🚨 BREAKING: Video recorded by a Bangladeshi camel herder in Kuwait shows an American HIMARS ATACMS M57 launch pod in a desert, confirming that the U.S. fired ballistic missiles at Iran from Kuwaiti territory.

Now you know why Iran targets Kuwait and other American launching pads in the region.

In a historic first, long-range Precision Strike Missiles (PrSMs) were used in combat during Operation Epic Fury, providing an unrivaled deep strike capability.

Secretary of State Marco Rubio said the US would use an oil “quarantine” to get what it wants from Venezuela’s new leaders following the ouster of President Nicolas Maduro.

Trump said the US struck a “big facility” in #Venezuela in its campaign against alleged drug trafficking.

The US hit what Trump says was "a big plant, or a big facility where the ships come from."

If confirmed, it would mark the first attack on land.

@defense_news @JenJudson This is a newsroom in freefall. Reinstein’s hostile neglect has hobbled Defense News and Military Times and jeopardized their ability to be a force for strong, effective and original journalism that service members and families need, and that holds officials accountable. 11/x

A US aircraft carrier strike group arrives in Latin America, in a move the Trump administration says is aimed at narco-traffickers but has also prompted questions about possible attacks on Venezuela, @JenJudson reports https://t.co/IGja8GOT0s

Beautifully played sendoff, Sebastian! I think it’s the best rendition of the Space Force song I’ve ever heard. See you at one of these things where they sing this song in the future.

[Sebastian Sprenger @sprengkopf_dc]

@JenJudson a belated little send-off tune to a co-worker of almost 80 years in this industry and at the same companies. A few bars of Grieg morphing into what I *think* is the anthem of your fave service, the U.S. Navy. See you around.

Sharing insights with military correspondents and editors at the Military Reporters & Editors Conference in Washington. Talked about Russia’s aggression, needs for support, defence innovations, & 🇺🇦🇺🇸 partnership. Ukrainian experience and years of conflict are driving global defense transformations. Invited US media to visit Ukraine and witness the reality firsthand.

i desperately need to read the infowars take on commercial-first contracting and revisions to the dod 5000

@patriciakime @reporterjoe @KToropin @halbritz @ChrisGordonASF @TomNovelly @politico @AP @CNN @ASForcesMag @DefenseOne I would include @jenjudson @ValerieInsinna (I could likely name more, but no room!) in your tweet for standing up against the Defense Secretary's media restrictions. The restrictions are ridiculous; it's great so many are standing up for real journalism. I stand w/them all.

Pentagon reporters in Arlington, Virginia walk out of the building carrying their belongings after turning in their press badges. Reporters from nearly every major news organization would not sign new rules viewed as an infringement on First Amendment rights that also could have limited their ability to report independently on the U.S military. 📸: @WinMc

Was happy to be on the @defense_news panel at @AUSAorg yesterday talking about Golden Dome with @tomkarako and others yesterday.

@RealBobPeters @defense_news @AUSAorg @tomkarako Thanks, Bob, for sharing your insight on the panel. It was great!

[Tara Copp @TaraCopp]

.@secWar has falsely suggested Pentagon reporters prowl the hallways accessing offices they are not allowed. We don't. Even his boss, President Trump, allows reporters in to the Oval to ask him questions, and every defense secretary I've covered for more than a decade -- both Republican and Democrat -- has welcomed reporters to their office to talk. Hegseth is the exception.
