Ukraine's drone forces hit 23 targets overnight, including a shadow fleet oil tanker and two fuel depots in Taganrog and Feodosia, part of the same operation that also destroyed two Tu-142 aircraft and an Iskander launcher at Taganrog airfield.

Saudi Arabia privately complained to Washington in early April that the UAE's dozens of retaliatory strikes on Iranian targets — including oil facilities at Bandar Abbas and Asaluyeh — were risking Iranian counter-attacks on Gulf energy infrastructure and spiking oil prices.

Riyadh urged the US to pressure Abu Dhabi to stop and join diplomatic efforts.

Pete Hegseth:

What you'll see in President Trump's 2027 budget is $56 billion in investment in drone dominance.

We continue to learn from what Ukraine has done on the battlefield.

We've learned so much from Ukraine and how they operate.

We intend to not only be at par, but the best in the world at it.

Pete Hegseth:

Where we can help Ukraine, we have.

Where we can enable Europe to do more, we have.

So, we want them to be able to defend, and we'll find a way to make sure we can help them.

Pete Hegseth on Iran:

The blockade is very much still in place.

Pete Hegseth on Iran:

And everything behind the scenes shows that we are in control when it comes to that.

Pete Hegseth:

The policy we have on Taiwan is the same as it was at the beginning of this administration.

The only change you might see is how we talk about the entirety of it.
