Can the U.S. and Israel succeed in Iran without allies? "No," says former Defense Secretary Jim Mattis. "There's a sense that we are not a reliable security partner right now...And you can't bring allies on board if they don't trust you."

PRESIDENT TRUMP on NATO: They don’t want to help us defend the Strait and they’re the ones that need it. Now they’re getting much nicer because they’re seeing my attitude. But as far as I’m concerned it’s too late.

On Wednesday, 🇮🇹 fighter jets from @ItalianAirForce, deployed at Amari Air Base 🇪🇪 for @NATO enhanced Air Policing, intercepted a Russian 🇷🇺SU-30 Flanker H aircraft over the Baltic Sea. The Italian jets launched the Alpha Scramble under NATO’s Eastern Sentry activities together with 🇫🇮 and 🇸🇪 jets ensuring the security of #NATO airspace. #EASN

Nous gardons le cap. La Marine française a arraisonné ce matin en Méditerranée un nouveau bateau de la flotte fantôme, le Deyna. La guerre en Iran ne détournera pas la France du soutien à l’Ukraine où la guerre d’agression de la Russie se poursuit. Ces bateaux qui contournent les sanctions internationales et violent le droit de la mer sont des profiteurs de guerre. Ils cherchent à engranger des profits et financent l’effort de guerre russe. Nous ne laisserons pas faire.

“The NATO alliance led to the United States of America being the richest, most powerful nation in the history of the world. … I think that was a substantial benefit to us. Yes, it also benefited Europe and NATO. But that’s what a partnership is about—mutual benefit.” - @HASCDemocrats Ranking Member @RepAdamSmith in his opening remarks for the full committee hearing on the U.S. Military Posture and National Security Challenges in Europe.

Breaking from @halbritz @OrenCNN : A US F-35 fighter jet made an emergency landing at US air base in the Middle East after it was struck by what is believed to be Iranian fire, according to two sources familiar with the matter. Capt. Tim Hawkins, a spokesman for US Central Command, said the fifth-generation stealth jet was “flying a combat mission over Iran” when it was forced to make an emergency landing. Hawkins said the aircraft landed safely, and the incident is under investigation “The aircraft landed safely, and the pilot is in stable condition,” Hawkins added. The incident would be the first time Iran has hit a US aircraft in the war started in late February. Both the US and Israel are flying F-35s in the conflict; the aircraft costs upwards of $100 million.

First violation of 🇪🇪 airspace this year by a #Russian Federation aircraft.🇷🇺 Allies reacted, and there was no threat to #Estonia’s security. But every such violation, now and in the future, must be met with a firm and consistent response. @EP_Defence @EPPGroup
