Asked about Israeli government influence operations on the US, JD Vance says "I don't even mind" it, adding: "Foreign governments try to influence the United States all the time."

"Israel does it, other countries do it. It's just sort of the nature of the beast."

📝Anon: What kind of vice-president is unbothered by the fact that a foreign country interferes in its internal affairs to steer foreign policy in the interests of the aforementioned foreign country? Normal, sovereign countries do not tolerate foreign interference in their internal affairs.

Ship captains in the Persian Gulf fear crossing the Strait of Hormuz using the U.S-backed southern/Omani lane for fear of their ships being disabled or even sunk and for fear of sustaining casualties and injuries among their crew.

📢 🇺🇸 🛠 Rubio:

"Today, we face a new wave of this old evil.

Here in the United States, the share of left-wing terrorist attacks and plots has risen to levels not seen in decades.

In Germany, far-left violence has jumped by more than 40% in just the last year alone.

These are not abstract statistics; Americans have seen what those numbers mean.

Snipers, explosives, a transgender student opening fire on Catholic elementary school students, his gun marked with slogans like 'where is your God now.'"

The overwhelming share of that violence came from Left-Wing extremists... these are numbers that would shock most Americans today because we've been taught to believe that this kind of political violence, it simply doesn't exist or it's being exaggerated—but it does exist, and we're actually underestimating it."

One of the criticisms you sometimes hear of communism is that it sounds good in theory but it never works in practice.

That's actually not true. Communism does not sound good in theory.

They despise the West because the West is great.

🇸🇦 Houthi rebels are preparing to shut the Bab el-Mandeb strait on behalf of Iran. A source told The Telegraph of a deliberate Iranian attempt to control “the other side of the Red Sea” and create a scenario similar to its grip on the Strait of Hormuz.…

Reuters: In Pakistan there are growing concerns that Houthi involvement may be more likely to draw Pakistan into the conflict than the Iranian missile strikes were earlier this year. Pakistani soldiers are deployed near the Saudi border with Yemen, two Pakistani officials said, increasing their direct exposure.

There are also concerns in Islamabad that a Houthi-led escalation could disrupt shipping in the Red Sea, an important trade route that Pakistan and many other countries depend on. A widening conflict there could be more difficult to contain and could target Saudi interests in a way that forces Pakistan to intervene militarily under the terms of its mutual defense pact.

New footage reportedly shows kamikaze drones striking Iran's Port of Bandar Abbas.

The drones appear consistent with UAE-made Yabhon R/H ISR platforms, possibly modified for one-way attack (OWA) missions.

Iran has so far avoided targeting the UAE or Saudi Arabia during the latest escalation, but that restraint may not last if these strikes are confirmed to have been carried out by the UAE.

Yesterday, Iran launched a wave of OWA drone attacks targeting Erbil in Iraqi Kurdistan.

Today, newly released Sentinel-2L satellite imagery appears to show a completely burned area with smoke still rising from the U.S. Patriot PAC-3 battery site at Erbil Airport.

The Patriot launcher was likely destroyed.

The South Korean stock exchange trades as if its stuck in a financial crisis

The 30-day KOSPI index volatility spiked to 82 points, an all-time high.

Over the last several weeks, the gauge has doubled and exceeded the Great Financial Crisis peak of 81 points.

This is also now ~20 points above the high posted during the 2020 crash.

KOSPI was up as much as +116% year-to-date before falling into a bear market.

Now, the index is up +59% and is no longer the world's best-performing stock market after falling -26% from its June peak.

The bear market in South Korea caught many complacent investors off guard.

📢 🇺🇸 🛠 Rubio: "Antifa militants and their comrades travel from across Europe and to the Americas to participate in each other's attacks, to funnel propaganda and training, materials, and target information through shared encrypted channels — moving through underground networks of safe houses, and finance and sustain their operations through transnational funds."

📢 🇺🇸 🇨🇺 Rubio: "The Cuban regime's sprawling intelligence and ideological network helped to build the far left in our country and in our hemisphere and it remains inextricably linked to the far left groups and movements across and beyond the West."

"Today's far left terrorists can raise money in one country. They can host their communications in a second country. They can receive training in a third country."

"They can recruit militants in a fourth country and then together strike a target in a fifth country."

"And so we have no choice but to confront this menace together. We will either cooperate across our borders or the terrorists will continue to exploit the gaps between them."
