Interestingly, compared to the previous fiscal year, there was a more than 11% decrease in 2025 in "the total value of transferred defense articles and services and security cooperation activities conducted under the Foreign Military Sales." However, there was almost a 21 percent increase in the three-year rolling average comparing the FY 2022 - FY 2024 versus the FY 2023 - FY 2025 periods.

Sec. Hegseth said:
--over 15,000 targets struck by the United States and Israel;
--Iran's missile volume is down by 90% and one-way attack drones down by 95%;
--today's strike volume will be the highest yet; and
--all ballistic missile production capacity has been "functionally defeated, destroyed."

What is the timeline for U.S. military operations against the Islamic Republic of Iran? How is the military campaign going? What about American ground troops? What's the path forward in the Strait of Hormuz?

Rising and Falling: the paradox of Iran’s ballistic missile attacks.
To understand why Iran was able to launch so many ballistic missiles at neighboring countries yet has a rapidly declining daily launch rate, read Cam McMillan, @Brad_L_Bowman, and my latest piece in @FDD's @LongWarJournal.

The US and Israel have achieved operational successes against Iran, but a mutual definition of victory remains elusive. This lack of clarity could undermine efforts to achieve strategic objectives.

Certainly no lack of topics to cover in this month's assessment of the Trump Administration's defense policy and strategy.
I had 3-4 different topics in the original draft but the new war changed that. Here's my take on the conflict in 250 words:

Russia is giving Iran intel to target U.S. forces, officials say, @noahjrobertson, @nakashimae, & @wstrobel report in the @washingtonpost.
This is the latest evidence of the growing Axis of Aggressors cooperation between China, Russia, Iran, and North Korea. Gen. Caine testified in June that they are "pursuing unprecedented levels of cooperation... [extending] across military, cyber, economic, and informational domains."

This is not the first time we have seen reporting on Russian-Iranian cooperation targeting Americans and our interests.
Here are examples from 2023 and 2024:

These assertions regarding China's support for Iran are consistent with what we have found as part of our >20 months of research focusing on Axis of Aggressors cooperation.
--Has China provided dual-use support to the defense industrial bases of other Axis members, including Iran? ✔️ The CCP is doing that with Russia and North Korea, too. Beijing wants to help their Axis partners, hurt the United States and its allies, and avoid consequences from the United States and its allies with attempted plausible deniability.
--Has China provided financial assistance? ✔️ At a minimum, Chinese purchases of Iranian oil have helped fund Tehran's missiles, terrorism, nuclear program, and oppression. And don't forget China's sodium perchlorate shipments to Iran.
--China only caring about its own vessels? ✔️ Saw that with the Houthis.
OSINTdefender@sentdefender
In addition to intelligence support and targeting data provided to Iran by Russia, the United States has also received intelligence suggesting that China may be preparing to join the ongoing conflict in the Middle East, providing Iran with financial assistance, spare parts and missile components, three people familiar with the matter told CNN. China relies heavily on Iranian oil and has reportedly been pressuring Tehran to allow safe passage for vessels through the Strait of Hormuz.

How have China and Russia helped Iran? Do we have enough air defense interceptors? Why should Americans care about the outcome in Iran?
