SCOOP!!! -- The United States can only determine with certainty that it has destroyed about a third of Iran's vast missile arsenal.
The status of around another third is less clear but bombings likely damaged, destroyed or buried those missiles in underground tunnels and bunkers, according to the U.S. intelligence, our sources say.

Today marks a devastating and crushing loss of talent at The Post. There are innumerable ways in which the public has benefited from the brilliant work of Post journalists based in the United States and far flung capitals around the world. I'm heartbroken

The cuts to WP are so hard to understand. So many brilliant colleagues being cut, many great friends. I wish I understood the logic, but I don't. At all.

Why has the Coast Guard’s “pursuit” of the Bella 1 been going on for days now? Sources say it’s at least because after the vessel refused boarding, the U.S. is waiting for additional assets, likely an elite Coast Guard unit specializing in such ops, to potentially try and board.

We map the military infrastructure buildup in the Caribbean, including replacing taxiways, installing mobile air traffic control systems, and building tents. All of it, officials and experts say, points to sustained operations, even possibly in Venezuela. https://t.co/YClIfs4LQv

SCOOP: The Trump administration is considering imposing sanctions on officials from the EU and/or member states responsible for implementing the bloc's landmark Digital Services Act, which U.S. says is censoring Americans, people familiar with the matter tell me 1/X

This purge is much deeper. Hegseth also fired the chief of U.S. Naval reserves and the commander of Naval Special Warfare Command.

Other notable things include: Governments' treatment of LGBTQI communities is largely omitted, criticism ramped up on Brazil and South Africa, both of which have clashed with the administration. Reference to Russia's invasion of Ukraine is mostly the "Russia-Ukraine war".

NEW: State Dept's Human Rights Report is finally out. The main theme is a softening of U.S. criticism towards countries that have partnered with the admin such as El Salvador while sounding alarm about freedom of speech in Europe.

Trump said on Monday that the U.S. had dispensed $60 million for Gaza humanitarian aid. A source familiar with the matter said some U.S. officials believe Trump likely was conflating the U.S. and Israeli funds.
