An urgent investigation is underway to determine how an F-35 stealth fighter jet, which costs roughly $100 million and is nearly invisible to radar, was struck during a combat mission. @ABC News' @JamesAALongman reports. abcnews.link/pdk2RVz
@LauraLoomer @DalaiLama I think visiting India has been the best thing you’ve ever done - this break has done you so much good ❤️
Q: "Why didn't you tell U.S. allies…about the war before attacking Iran?" President Trump: "We wanted surprise. Who knows better about surprise than Japan? Why didn't you tell me about Pearl Harbor?"
BREAKING: Iran strikes Israel’s Haifa refinery.
.@SecScottBessent: In the coming days, we may unsanction the Iranian oil that's on the water. It's about 140 million barrels, so depending how you count it, that's 10 days to 2 weeks of supply, that the Iranians had been pushing out, that would have all gone to China. In essence, we'd be using the Iranian barrels against the Iranians to keep the price down for the next 10 or 14 days, as we continue this campaign. So, we have lots of levers.

LATEST VERIFIED VISUALS: Qatar’s Interior Ministry confirmed that it is still dealing with a fire in the Ras Laffan industrial area. This area is the largest hub for gas production and export in the country.
Ossoff: So the assessment of the intelligence community is that Iran's nuclear enrichment program was obliterated by last summer's airstrikes? Gabbard: Yes. Ossoff: Your statement stated: there has been no efforts since then to try to rebuild their enrichment capability. That's the assessment of the intelligence community? Gabbard: Yes.
Pakistan has nuclear weapons and is seeking to achieve an ICBM capability that would bring the US within range. Osama bin Laden was also found hanging out in Abbotabad. What am I missing here?
Indigo Stretch is quite a decent option for Singapore-Delhi, though inconsiderate co-passengers can undo even the best experience. Last night, even before take off, a young girl in the row ahead was watching something on her iPad at full volume. Her mother sat next to her, unfazed. I was in the last 150 pages of a gripping book - the kind you want to finish in one peaceful stretch. I had a plan - a spare pair of inexpensive headphones! I thought I’d lean forward after takeoff and say, “Excuse me, would you like to ask your daughter to use this?” Subtle! After take off, before I could make my move, the mother pulled out her own phone… and started a Hindi serial. Full volume. Now what? What if I proceed with my plan and she asks, “What about my earphones?” 😟 I resigned to my fate, put on my ear blockers and went back to my book. I’m still a few pages short, thanks to a steady background noise of saas-bahu drama and a youth influencer!
