The Iran war has trapped 20,000 sailors. This is the main fielding SOS calls from around the Persian Gulf and Strait of Hormuz. w/@bellecushing https://t.co/U3rEJKnukJ

Trump is amassing firepower in the Middle East as he pressures Iran to make a deal.

It’s a playbook he’s used before, but Iran is very different from Venezuela.

Here’s a breakdown of the military buildup: https://t.co/HAmbWAyGkZ w/ @milanczerny @deniseduana + Rachel Rogers

Through #OpSouthernSpear, the @DeptofWar is unwavering in its mission to crush illicit activity in the Western Hemisphere in partnership with @USCG, @DHSgov and @TheJusticeDept.

This morning, U.S. military forces, in support of the Department of Homeland Security, apprehended Motor Vessel Sagitta without incident. The apprehension of another tanker operating in defiance of President Trump’s established quarantine of sanctioned vessels in the Caribbean demonstrates our resolve to ensure that the only oil leaving Venezuela will be oil that is coordinated properly and lawfully. As the joint force operates in the Western Hemisphere, we reaffirm that the security of the American people is paramount, demonstrating our commitment to safety and stability.

These operations are backed by the full power our elite joint force team deployed in the Caribbean.

Sagitta is the 7th dark fleet tanker the U.S. has gone after since December. Our video shows how the shadow fleet operates and how it's at risk now that the Trump administration has created a playbook for disrupting it https://t.co/Rv0turWZlP

V excited to test how well this works 🦅👀

[Benjamin Strick @BenDoBrown]

For those that missed it, @googleearth (online) added the historical imagery feature (previously exclusive to Google Earth Pro). A very nice feature when combined with the timelapse and for sharing analysis based on change over time.

Russia’s “Merchant of Death” was freed in a prisoner swap for basketball star Brittney Griner. Now he’s negotiating arms deals with Yemen’s Houthis. https://t.co/OadGeauTiz via @WSJ @benoitfaucon @mgordonwsj @wstrobel @AlanCullison @SalehAlBatati1

You need to read every line of this Wall Street Journal story on Trump, Vance and the Haitians in Springfield, Ohio. It's fantastic. There is something revelatory in every paragraph - and dispiriting about our politics.

One of my favorite details about yesterday

[Yaroslav Trofimov @yarotrof]

How I spent yesterday: watching the complicated and choreographed multi-country prisoner and hostage exchange involving several planes in Ankara airport. The plane on the right took Evan and other American hostages home.

[Denise Blostein @deniseduana]

A tense morning but ultimately joyful day in the newsroom - couldn’t happen soon enough!

[The Wall Street Journal @WSJ]

Breaking: Russia freed wrongly convicted WSJ reporter Evan Gershkovich as part of the largest and most complex East-West prisoner swap since the Cold War https://t.co/MAPTNZ6Wdf

[The Wall Street Journal @WSJ]

🧵On March 29, 2023, Wall Street Journal reporter Evan Gershkovich was detained in Russia for doing his job.

He was wrongfully convicted this month and sentenced to 16 years in prison.

We’re offering resources for those who want to show their support for him. #IStandWithEvan 🧵

Evan has missed so much in the 434 days he’s been sitting in a Russian prison, locked up for being a reporter. Last weekend, he missed his college reunion. Fellow alumni stood with Evan, as we do every day. He cannot be released soon enough.⁦@BowdoinCollege⁩ #IStandWithEvan

A fascinating look at the shadow economy that trades in everything from drones and missiles to oil and gold –– China has increasingly foiled U.S.-led efforts to
squeeze the economies of authoritarian regimes such as Russia and Iran https://t.co/BLqJkQ5yeY

[Denise Blostein @deniseduana]

@danielas_bot Congratulations! Sounds fascinating
