Iran's Tasnim, citing a military source, says the U.S. would face an unprecedented response if it attacks Kharg Island, with Washington unable to secure the island and potentially suffering heavy losses.

It adds that disrupting security in the Bab el-Mandeb and Red Sea is among the options being considered.

Multiple missiles launched from an unidentified submarine near the Karpaz peninsula (Northern Cyprus), likely against Iran.

Germany’s flagship naval modernization project — the construction of six F126 frigates worth ~€10 billion — is facing major delays, and defense giant Rheinmetall is now positioning itself to take over as the main contractor.

The program was originally led by Dutch shipbuilder Damen Naval, working with German shipyards.

However, the project is currently around four years behind schedule.

Rheinmetall has stepped in with a proposal to assume the role of general contractor, aiming to accelerate production and stabilize the program.

The company expects a potential contract decision as early as summer 2026 and says it could deliver the first frigate by the second half of 2031.

A key factor behind Rheinmetall’s push is its recent €1.5 billion acquisition of the naval shipyard division of NVL Group (Lürssen), including the major Blohm+Voss shipyard in Hamburg.

This gives Rheinmetall the industrial base needed to handle large naval construction projects.

The F126 program is the largest shipbuilding effort in the history of the German Navy.

These frigates are primarily designed for anti-submarine warfare, but also support a wide range of missions including escort, surveillance, and international deployments.

Trump:

If the Radical Left Democrats don’t immediately sign an agreement to let our Country, in particular, our Airports, be FREE and SAFE again, I will move our brilliant and patriotic ICE Agents to the Airports where they will do Security like no one has ever seen before, including the immediate arrest of all Illegal Immigrants who have come into our Country, with heavy emphasis on those from Somalia, who have totally destroyed, with the approval of a corrupt Governor, Attorney General, and Congresswoman, Ilhan Omar, the once Great State of Minnesota. I look forward to seeing ICE in action at our Airports.

Very close footage of Iranian missile hitting Dimona tonight.

WATCH: This is the moment Iran's IRGC started launching the 72nd wave of Operation True Promise 4.

175 Royal Navy submariners tested positive for drugs between 2018–2024, including cocaine, cannabis, ecstasy, and steroids.

52 cases occurred while personnel were actively serving on submarines.

Some cases involved crews linked to Trident nuclear-armed submarines.

Dimona is a city in southern Israel that hosts the country’s main nuclear facility, widely believed to produce plutonium for an undeclared nuclear weapons program (estimated 80–400 warheads).

Facility was built in the 1960s with French assistance.

It is central to Israel’s nuclear ambiguity policy.

We note that likely Israeli airstrikes targeted Iran's Natanz Nuclear Facility today.

NOW: 20 people lightly injured in Dimona's several areas following Iranian missile hit.

WATCH: Impressive footage of Iranian missile hit on Israel's Dimona tonight.

Iran has introduced a new 10 million rial banknote (~$7) as war-driven inflation and fears of system disruptions trigger a rush for cash.

Rial heavily weakened (≈1.5–1.6M per USD) after years of sanctions.

Trump celebrates the death of former FBI Director Robert Mueller.

He also led the 2017–2019 special counsel investigation into Russian election interference.

Trump:

The Radical Left Democrats have hurt so many people with their vicious and uncaring ways. What they have done to the Department of Homeland Security, our fantastic TSA Officers, and, most importantly, the great people of our Country, is an absolute disgrace.

If the Democrats do not allow for Just and Proper Security at our Airports, and elsewhere throughout our Country, ICE will do the job far better than ever done before! The Fascist Democrats will never protect America, but the Republicans will.

Just like the Radical Left allowed millions of Criminals to pour into our Country through their ridiculous and dangerous Open Border Policy, the Republicans closed it all down, and we now have the Strongest Border in American History. Likewise, I look forward to moving ICE in on Monday, and have already told them to, “GET READY.”

NO MORE WAITING, NO MORE GAMES!

Israeli Chief of Staff on Iran War:

We are halfway there.

NEW: Trump’s administration is beginning to plan for potential peace talks with Iran, though fighting is expected to continue for a few more weeks.

Any deal would likely require reopening the Strait of Hormuz, limiting Iran’s nuclear and missile programs, and ending support for regional groups.

Indirect messages are being passed through countries like Egypt and Qatar.

Iran is open to talks but wants a ceasefire, guarantees against future attacks, and compensation—demands Trump currently rejects.

The U.S. hopes Iran will agree to strict limits, including zero uranium enrichment and reduced missile capabilities, though Iran has rejected similar terms before.

Iranian state television said the attack on Dimona was a response to earlier Israeli strikes on Iran’s Natanz nuclear facility.

The number of people injured following the impact of an Iranian missile in Dimona has risen to 47.
