The U.S. Department of War has announced a press conference for 8 a.m. EST tomorrow with U.S. Secretary of War Pete Hegseth and Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff General Dan Caine.

@sentdefender Vice President

U.S. President JD Vance, who considers himself a devout Catholic, was asked earlier about the administration’s recent public conflict with The Vatican and Pope Leo XIV, as well as last night’s picture posted by President Trump depicting himself as Jesus Christ. Vance responded that he thinks the picture was a “joke” by the President, and that The Vatican should stick to matters of “morality and the Catholic Church” and not the policy of the United States.

@sentdefender April 12 was yesterday. I think the ceasefire deadline would be April 21 or 22, depending on which time zone.

According to Barak Ravid, citing a senior U.S. official, following the failed U.S.-Iran talks in Islamabad, Pakistan, mediators from Turkey, Pakistan, And Egypt will continue talks with their U.S. counterparts in an attempt to find points of convergence between the U.S. and Iranian sides. Per the report, mediators, who still believe a lasting ceasefire is possible, hope to realize the aforementioned goals before the ceasefire deadline on April 12, 2026.

@sentdefender Entering their 9th day. They launched April 1. 8 days have elapsed (really 8 days and about 6 hours), so they are in their 9th day. The mission is only about 9 days and 2 hours long.

@sentdefender EDT

@flyLAXairport Can you explain what you mean by average maximum?

Because of their efforts: ✈️The average maximum wait time at LAX never exceeded 29 minutes in the last month. ✈️The average TSA Precheck maximum wait time never exceeded 9 minutes in the last month. ✈️Last week alone, LAX welcomed 684,678 passengers.

Thanks to our @TSA colleagues, LAX has consistently performed exceptionally well, as measured by higher passenger throughput and lower wait times along with exceedingly high marks for customer service and professionalism.

@sentdefender 2340 local time, 1640 EDT

Per official Houthi sources the anticipated statement from the Houthi armed forces is expected at 11:40 local time (16:40 est).

@fl360aero He said they are planning for that, not that they expect that.

United Airlines CEO Scott Kirby: We expect oil prices not to fall to $100 per barrel before the end of 2027. The CEO said in an email to employees that the company will be cancelling some flights (5%) as it prepares for higher oil prices because of the US-Israeli war on Iran. "If prices stayed at this level, it would mean ⁠an extra $11 billion in annual expense just for jet fuel." #flight #airlines #fuelprice

@ba5orp @flightradar24 It's to avoid Russian air space.

@flightradar24 Didn't even know there is a east-bound direct route from Asia to Europe. Amazing.

Passengers aboard SAS SK984 out of Tokyo were expecting Copenhagen… but instead were treated to a surprise stop in Fairbanks, Alaska. Now once again enroute the capital of Denmark. Track: flightradar24.com/SAS984/3ed3acaa

@sentdefender We're using EDT now.

According to Axios, citing three people with knowledge on the matter, tomorrow afternoon, U.S. Special Envoy to the Middle East Steve Witkoff is set to brief a small group of bipartisan senators on the ongoing operations against Iran. The briefing, which was organized by Sen. Joni Ernst (R-Iowa), who chairs the Senate Armed Services Subcommittee on Emerging Threats and Capabilities, is expected to update select legislative decision-makers on the ongoing war in Iran, more specifically, the status of purported lines of communication between the Trump administration and the Iranian regime. As of late Monday (today EST), senators are still being invited to the briefing.

@sentdefender If they were dropping bombs at the beginning of Epic Fury, they would have left Whiteman early Friday.

Four B-2A “Spirit” Strategic Long-Range Stealth Bombers with the U.S. Air Force’s 509th Bomb Wing flew a round-trip strike mission early Saturday from Whiteman Air Force Base, Missouri, to the Middle East, via the Strait of Gibraltar and Mediterranean, supported by a number of KC-46A Pegasus from bases in Europe. According to Fox News, the B-2s dropped dozens of 2,000lb bombs on underground ballistic missile sites in Iran at the beginning stages of Operation Epic Fury.

@flightradar24 @JJjetTrain Really? I think it's more to avoid Russian air space.

@JJjetTrain It's about winds. FRA-HND-FRA is more or less a round the world flight.

All Nippon Airways flight #NH223 made a U-turn north of Alaska after more than six hours in the air and is now returning to Tokyo. With the return taking about seven hours, the total flight time from Tokyo to Tokyo will be around 13 hours. The reason is currently unknown.

@fl360aero 01 February?
