Russia, Assad and Iran allow ISIS to thrive in Syria. These grey spots in Badia dessert are ISIS held territory. They will continue to feed fighters into AANES and threaten US. If SDF is willing we should move to occupy all Badia. Connect to Al Tanf & secure supply line. @WHNSC

Bessent: Trump & Xi discussed Iran in their phone call .

DUBAI, May 4 (Reuters) - Authorities in the United Arab Emirates sent a phone alert on Monday telling residents that the situation was safe after an earlier warning of potential missile threats.

💥IDF Gen Avi Bluth: "Arabs understand that the norm is if someone comes to kill you, kill them first, so we're killing like we haven't since 1967" & admits different rules for shooting Palestinian & Jewish rock-throwers due to "societal consequences." haaretz.com/israel-news/is…

Trump's effective disassociation from NATO may encourage Putin to attack Europe before Europe can beef up its military forces. trib.al/P3RZMYN

Trump has miscalculated every turn in this war. I fear we are about to witness his biggest miscalculation and cast the US into a long, bloody war that Americans didn't want or approve.

U.S. Navy guided-missile destroyers are currently operating in the Arabian Gulf after transiting the Strait of Hormuz in support of Project Freedom. American forces are actively assisting efforts to restore transit for commercial shipping. As a first step, 2 U.S.-flagged merchant vessels have successfully transited through the Strait of Hormuz and are safely headed on their journey.

IGNATIUS: Putin is in corner. Things are not going well for him. What might he do to break out of this situation? His friend Trump is in the White House, and Europe is just beginning to rearm. Putin might think that now is the time to strike NATO. If he struck one of Baltic states and Trump did nothing, that would demonstrate to Europe and to the world that American promises to NATO aren't real. People are already beginning to suspect that, but this would make it clear. And Putin might seize this moment of uncertainty.

Today’s attack on Moscow serves as a rehearsal for a strike on the Kremlin. Historically, the FP-1 successfully bypassed all layers of the Russian capital's defense, hitting the very heart of Moscow and stopping only 6.5 kilometers from the Kremlin. The DroneBomber map displays all verified air defense positions in the Moscow region. This was a genuine penetration of: 🔸Three layers of defense; 🔸101 confirmed air defense positions; 🔸The areas of responsibility of at least 10 regiments of S-400 strategic systems (including those deployed in Losiny Ostrov Park and the Timiryazev Academy fields); 🔸Over 80 Pantsir and Tor units; 🔸Specialized positions on city-center rooftops and towers along roads, specifically built to intercept low-flying targets.

Marco Rubio was raised Catholic, converted to Mormonism in his youth, left Mormonism, became Catholic again, regularly attends a Miami evangelical church for 23 years he called “his church,” and still identifies as a Mass-attending Catholic. It’s complicated. But I’ll break it down later today. open.substack.com/pub/lettersfro…

The idiocy of Putin's regime, moving all the country's air defenses to protect a propaganda parade in Moscow. Its going to be an amazing week.

🔴 European intelligence reports potential Russian coup involving Sergei Shoigu. According to CNN, the Kremlin has restricted Vladimir Putin’s movements to fortified bunkers and intensified security for top military commanders following reports that the former defense minister maintains enough influence to lead an elite-driven assassination or power grab.

NEW: In a major diplomatic snub to JD Vance, Donald Trump is sending Marco Rubio solo on Thursday to meet with Pope Leo XIV. This comes as Rubio’s star is rising and Vance’s allies are privately accusing the Vatican of coordinating with American journalists and operatives to sully Vance’s 2028 prospects. thelettersfromleo.com/p/trump-sends-…

A second vessel in the Strait has now been hit. This one with multiple projectiles.

🇮🇱🇦🇪My latest for @AlMonitor: The reported deployment of an Israeli #IronDome battery and personnel to the #UAE during the Iran war may prove to be one of the most consequential developments in Gulf security cooperation since the Abraham Accords. Beyond the scoop itself, what struck me most while researching this piece was how the war appears to have accelerated a broader shift already underway across the region: from diplomatic normalisation and procurement diversification toward real-time operational coordination under fire. The article explores: 🔹why the deployment was historically significant for both Israel and the UAE 🔹how sustained Iranian missile and drone attacks reshaped Gulf defense calculations 🔹the UAE’s evolving “networked security” strategy 🔹why this does not necessarily mean a formal anti-Iran alliance 🔹and how CENTCOM-era coordination is quietly reshaping regional security architectures With comments from: @YGuzansky @GorenNimrod @ekitbi Read the analysis 👇 al-monitor.com/originals/2026…

Sometimes the horror happening to our persecuted brothers and sisters in Nigeria cannot be explained by words. EquippingThePersecuted.org and TruthNigeria.com are going to be breaking a story within the next few days with testimonies of survivors coming out of these Fulani Islamist Hostage Camps where 1000s of Christians are being tortured and held for ransom. Please pray along with us as we prepare to break this story. In Christ, Judd Saul
