Federal Investigation into Missing and Dead Scientists May Reveal 'Crazy Stuff', Says Former Nuclear Official

Federal investigators are examining the disappearances and deaths of 11 scientists and researchers, with a former top U.S. nuclear official suggesting that the investigation may uncover unexpected details.

US Coordination with China Amid Hormuz Tensions, Says Former Navy Commander

Former Israeli Navy commander Maj.-Gen. (res.) Eliezer Marom has stated that the US is more coordinated with China than many assume, amid the ongoing tensions in the Strait of Hormuz. He claims that alternative energy arrangements, such as Chinese supplies from Russia, are mitigating the impact of regional disruptions on global fuel markets.

China Considers Taking Iran's Enriched Uranium Amid U.S. Negotiations

China Considers Taking Iran's Enriched Uranium Amid U.S. Negotiations

China has expressed willingness to take custody of or downgrade approximately 970 pounds of enriched uranium from Iran, as part of ongoing negotiations led by President Trump to end the conflict involving Iran. This development comes as the Trump administration seeks to have Iran's uranium stockpile removed to prevent further escalation. The uranium is currently believed to be stored beneath nuclear facilities that were damaged during U.S. airstrikes. While President Trump favors the U.S. taking possession of the uranium, China's involvement could reshape nuclear diplomacy by offering a potential path forward for both Washington and Tehran. This move mirrors past international nuclear agreements, such as the 2015 Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action, where Iran shipped low-enriched uranium to Russia.

President Trump Implements Naval Blockades on Iran and Cuba, Raising Global Tensions

The U.S., under President Trump's directive, has initiated a naval blockade targeting Iranian vessels in the Strait of Hormuz.

U.S. Delays Weapons Deliveries to Europe Amid Iran Conflict, Affecting Baltic and Scandinavian Nations

U.S. Delays Weapons Deliveries to Europe Amid Iran Conflict, Affecting Baltic and Scandinavian Nations

The United States has informed several European countries that the delivery of certain weapons, previously contracted under the Foreign Military Sales (FMS) program, will be delayed due to the ongoing conflict with Iran. This decision affects nations in the Baltic region and Scandinavia, as the U.S. reallocates its military resources to support operations in the Middle East. The conflict began with U.S.-Israeli airstrikes on Iran on February 28, 2026, and has since stretched U.S. supplies of critical weaponry and ammunition. European officials have expressed frustration over these delays, as they rely on these deliveries for their national defense. The U.S. has been encouraging European NATO partners to purchase more U.S.-made military equipment, but the current situation has led some European countries to consider alternative sources for their defense needs.
