🚨 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.

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.

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

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.
@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 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

.@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.
I'm proud to be a member of the Pentagon Press Association and grateful for all their hard work to protect our rights to report on the military. The families who send their children to serve not only deserve the best leadership and equipment -- as @SecWar Hegseth has said -- but they also deserve the information and accountability reporters provide. Here is the latest development, and its not good. Thank you for advocating for us, PPA.

This is significant. MRE encompasses many of the independent newsrooms with a long, noble history of serving rank-and-file troops, vets & their families. Think deployment info, news about pay & benefits. Shows how Hegseth’s gambit actually undermines the military community too.
The Military Reporters and Editors "urges reporters not to sign the Pentagon’s new restrictive press policy" and calls it an "unprecedented attack on the First Amendment." militaryreporters.org/2025/1…
