Türkiye signed its first KAAN serial production contract today at SAHA 2026 in Istanbul.

The deal moves the fifth-generation stealth fighter jet from development into domestic production.

Israel’s National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir posted a video saying he “dreams” of nooses, alongside AI-generated images referencing a proposed death penalty law for Palestinian detainees.

Melania Trump:

This is a time of military conflict for America.

Trump on Iran:

I call it a skirmish because that’s what it is. It’s a skirmish.

CENTCOM:

U.S. forces in the Gulf of Oman stopped an Iranian-flagged tanker attempting to violate the U.S. blockade on May 6.

After repeated warnings were ignored, a U.S. Navy F/A-18 Super Hornet from USS Abraham Lincoln fired several 20mm rounds, disabling the vessel’s rudder and preventing it from reaching an Iranian port.

Trump on Iran:

We are dealing with people who want to make a deal very much... We have it very much under control.

Netanyahu:

I speak with Trump almost on a daily basis. There is full coordination between us, with no surprises.

We share common goals, and the most important goal is the removal of the enriched material from Iran — all enriched material — and the dismantling of Iran’s enrichment capabilities.

Trump:

Pete Hegseth was standing on top of a table while everyone else was under the table during the WHCA dinner shooting.

The crowd laughs when Melania Trump mentions her husband’s empathy.

Bill Clinton:

Free Haiti.

Israel bombs Dahieh, Beirut.

Netanyahu:

The IDF has just struck a Radwan Force commander in Beirut in an attempt to eliminate him.

BIG: Trump:

Drugs coming in by sea are down 97%, and now we started the land force, which is much easier.

You will hear some complaints from some people in Mexico and other places, but if they are not going to do the job, we are going to do the job.

Germany's Chancellor Merz:

Growth is the basic requirement for a functioning welfare state in Germany.

There is no good healthcare system, no adequate pension system, no proper care system without growth.

We must get out of this mindset — this ‘no growth’ mindset — this idea that we can simply keep everything exactly as it is today and everything will somehow remain fine.

No, ladies and gentlemen. For years, Germany has been operating below its potential.

The good news is: we can change that.

Germany's Chancellor Merz:

We are witnesses to a profound historic rupture — the kind every generation experiences once in its lifetime.

We, the people born after the Second World War, were simply lucky until now.

But now, 80 years after the end of the Second World War, we are experiencing what every generation in the centuries before us also experienced.

It took 80 years, but now this historic rupture has arrived.

Germany's Chancellor Merz:

Europe is identifying the instruments of power it possesses, and we are prepared to use them.

Germany's Chancellor Merz:

We are rearming — in the truest sense of the word.

We are strengthening ourselves.

Germany's Chancellor Merz:

I will not seek other majorities in the German Bundestag than the ones we have today.

I will not leave this country to the radicals.

Germany's Chancellor Merz:

Our economic development has been stagnating for more than eight years now — almost an entire decade — while other countries have continued to grow, in some cases significantly.

And for the coming years, we are being told that if things continue as they are, Germany’s annual growth potential will be less than half a percent.

That is not enough. We must work on that.

Trump to Fox News:

Timeframe for an Iran deal is one week.

Polish Defense Minister Władysław Kosiniak-Kamysz:

There is no NATO without the United States.

There is also no power of the United States without its participation in NATO.

This is a two-way relationship.
