Tragic and unnecessary loss of life. The officer is a hero.

Three IRGC ballistic missile attacks on US Gulf bases in four days.

The ceasefire is a label. The kinetic picture is something else.

Iran is probing US intercept ceilings — simultaneously targeting Kuwait, Bahrain, and Hormuz. Patriot stockpiles aren't infinite. Doha isn't signed. Pakistan is the only active mediation channel in play.

The Texas Department of Public Safety and U.S. Border Patrol detained a group of migrants attempting to illegally cross the border into the United States from Mexico near Roma, Texas on Sunday, June 7. Among the group of migrants was a Russian Special Interest Alien, who was flagged as potentially posing a national security or counterintelligence risk to the United States.

🚨 Early this morning, @FBI and partners arrested 7 individuals on a 10 count indictment for allegedly targeting University of Michigan leaders and businesses in the Eastern Michigan region with violent threats and attacks.

The indictment alleges that after the October 7, 2023 Hamas terrorist attack on Israel, these individuals - a group of college-aged adults - engaged in a coordinated campaign of violent, criminal acts seeking to pressure University of Michigan leaders and other businesses in the Eastern District of Michigan to cut off all ties with Israel.

The subjects allegedly vandalized the victims’ property, spray painted their homes with messages like “Intifada” and “Free Palestine,” left threatening notes on their doors, and even broke windows of the victims’ homes - throwing glass jars filled with chemicals while children slept inside.

They deliberately chose the one-year anniversary of Hamas’s attack to engage in some of their most visible criminal acts - including one subject who specifically targeted the Bloomfield Township Jewish Federation on October 7, 2024. On the same day, another subject - employed by the University - vandalized the University President’s home.

The alleged criminal targeting occurred for over a year - beginning approximately March 2024 and continuing until April 2025.

@FBIDetroit and our partners pursued a thorough, detailed investigation of this case - and subjects have been charged for their alleged role in conspiracies to transmit threats in interstate and foreign commerce.

Critical Infrastructure is under attack from so many different angles. Glad this incident was a hoax. Next one might not be.

Terrible what is happening in Toledo. Hopefully the shooter(s) will be found soon.

We rebuilt the OSINT Navigator. Our founder walked through the updated interface — category structure, search operators, bookmark functionality, and how data is pre-processed before it hits the dashboard.

Worth a look if you work with multi-source open-source collection.

Three gunfire incidents at or near the president in under 30 days.

SI analysis: this density is anomalous. The 2026 domestic direct action wave has crossed to the executive security perimeter, and a recurring pre-attack indicator is emerging: prior institutional contact, post-crisis follow-through gaps.

“Over three decades later, we are committed to holding those accountable for the murders of four brave Americans: Carlos Costa, Armando Alejandre Jr., Mario de la Peña, and Pablo Morales,” said Acting Attorney General @DAGToddBlanche.

The United States and @POTUS will NOT forget its citizens.

Today’s announcement is in conjunction with a ceremony at the Freedom Tower in Miami to honor the victims.

Today the FBI and DOJ announced the arrests of Cornelius Shannon and Arturo Hernandez, both of whom were charged with violations of the TAKE IT DOWN Act. The TAKE IT DOWN Act prohibits nonconsensual publication of AI-generated digital forgeries (deepfake) pornography. Shannon and Hernandez allegedly posted thousands of images and videos that appeared to depict real people nude and/or engaging in sexual acts, and victims included actresses, singers, and political figures.

Iran: 440.9 kg of uranium enriched to 60%. Enough for ~10 devices per IAEA figures.

IAEA access cut since February. Cameras off. Seals removed.

MOU collapsed May 10. Most coverage goes diplomatic.

We assessed the intelligence picture, including whether a physical retrieval operation is now an active policy option and what a failed attempt would cost.

Three US attacks in 11 days — Portland, UW, Cambridge — share one structural variable: each attacker had documented psychiatric care contact within days of the attack. Two were formally discharged from inpatient care within 72 hours.

Weapon type varied. Target type varied. The discharge-to-attack timeline didn't.

Last night's operation targeted a significant presence of ISIS fighters in Northeastern Nigeria eliminating multiple high value individuals including Abu-Bilal al-Minuki.

The FBI arrested and extradited Mohammad al-Saadi, a high-value target allegedly behind mass global terrorist attacks who was believed to be planning multiple hits in the U.S. Second FBI-led FTOC in 12 hours. CIRG tactical units, overseas partners, Ambassador Barrack, and DAG Todd Blanche coordinated the operation.

Many thanks to @tariqtahir for listening to/writing my esoteric analysis on KH involvement. Since Harakat Ashab al-Yamin al-Islamiyah's 1st attack (I also spoke to the Belgian press about it. See: https://t.co/PLjhfpUxW0), it was clear to me that the "group" was a KH-run cut out.

[FBI New York @NewYorkFBI]

Earlier today, Mohammad Baqer Saad Dawood Al-Saadi, a senior member of Kata’ib Hizballah, a U.S. designated foreign terrorist organization, was charged with six counts of terrorism-related offenses for his activities as an operative of Kata’ib Hizballah and Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps. Mohammad Baqer Saad Dawood Al-Saadi was transferred into U.S. custody overseas and transported to the United States. @TheJusticeDept @FBIWFO @DOJNatSec @NYPDnews @CBP @StateDept @SDNYnews

ADIC Barnacle: “In the span of just three months, Mohammad Al-Saadi allegedly directed 18 terrorist attacks throughout Europe—including against United States citizens and interests—and planned to conduct a similar attack here in our country. The FBI New York’s Joint Terrorism Task Force maintains its unwavering resolve to hold accountable leaders of foreign terrorist organizations who utilize mass fear and suffering to further their anti-American agenda.”
