Palantir’s PRISMA software is actively running inside Ukrainian long-range drone strike command posts — confirmed on camera by CNN’s Nick Paton Walsh, who filmed inside a unit planning kamikaze drone strikes deep into Russia.

Screens showed real-time maps, flight paths, and AI-processed data overlays while a masked commander (“Vector”) walked through strike planning live.

The AI ingests thousands of parameters — crucially including where Russian air defenses are intercepting drones — then calculates optimal routes for the next wave to slip through the gaps.

It’s essentially learning the holes in Russia’s air defense net in real time.

IDF Staff Sergeant Michael Tyukin, 21 , was killed in southern Lebanon today, four other soldiers were lightly wounded in the same incident.

He immigrated to Israel from Ukraine six years ago.

Iran's Ghalibaf:

In the new phase of the war, the enemy, through economic pressure and media campaigns, seeks to create division and destroy the country's cohesion in order to compensate for its military defeat and force us to surrender.

What a vain delusion!

The great and history-making nation of Iran knows today that they stand at a sensitive and historical juncture that future generations will envy.

They are resisting against a bloodthirsty and murderous enemy that is determined to destroy Iran and Islam, so that the Iranians of future years will be proud of their fathers and mothers.

The most important factor for victory in this war is cohesion and unity.

What has caused the enemy's retreats — alongside the military power of the combatants — is the steadfastness of the people and their unity against a ruthless enemy.

This secret to victory must be preserved.

Australian documentary filmmaker Juliet Lamont, detained after Israel intercepted the Gaza aid flotilla in May, alleges in a new interview that she was raped by an Israeli soldier inside a darkened shipping container while handcuffed and shackled.

She also describes water torture, beatings, and witnessing soldiers taser activists in the face.

Japanese Defense Minister Shinjirō Koizumi:

Japan's defense policy and defense buildups are not based on the idea of identifying any specific country or region as a threat or having a military confrontation with it.

That said, China continues to increase its defense spending at a high level and is rapidly expanding its military capabilities across a wide range of areas without sufficient transparency.

China's external approach and military activities are matters of serious concern for Japan and the international community.

Japan believes it is essential to have persistent candid dialogue and communication without turning our eyes away from concrete and difficult issues precisely because challenges exist.

Japan's door is always open.

Japanese Defense Minister Shinjirō Koizumi:

Some of you may have heard the term "new militarism," but nothing could be further from the truth.

Think about it. There is a country that has a huge arsenal of nuclear weapons and strategic bombers. Japan has neither of such weapons.

And yet Japan is labeled "new militarism." Isn't it strange?

Lukashenko:

The Ukrainian military doesn't want any war with Belarus.

I know this for sure because they understand that it's another 1,000 kilometers of front, a border.

And it's not an easy border, the one between Belarus and Ukraine. Do they need that? No.

Netanyahu:

I instructed the IDF to expand the maneuver in Lebanon. Our forces crossed powerful obstacles. They seized commanding terrain and captured the Beaufort Ridge.

And now my instruction is to deepen and expand our hold on areas that were under Hezbollah's control.

We are initiating action, we are operating on all fronts—in Syria, in Gaza, and in Lebanon.

It will take time, but we will complete the mission.

Lukashenko:

God forbid that a military attack on the territory of Belarus be carried out from any territory — the war in Ukraine will take on a completely different character.

I will not elaborate.

Trump:

I am pleased to announce that United States Ambassador to Türkiye, Tom Barrack, who has done an outstanding job, will be named Special Presidential Envoy to Syria and Iraq, as we advance our strategic cooperation with both Governments.

Tom will remain Ambassador to Türkiye, with the full backing of the State Department.

BIG: Britain's Tempest fighter jet, developed jointly with Japan and Italy, faces years of delay, with the RAF now unlikely to receive the new aircraft until the late 2030s or 2040s.

Critics blame Labour for failing to release funding.

A Hezbollah drone hit an IDF base in Beit Hillel, injuring several soldiers.

Trump:

The DronePort at the White House Ballroom will be, perhaps, the most sophisticated anywhere in the World! It will safeguard our Nation’s Capital, Washington, D.C., long into the future.

With the advent of highly sophisticated, and powerful, modern day weaponry, we can no longer defend Washington, D.C., with rifles and pistols, alone.

Iran’s Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi:

The talks and exchange of messages are ongoing, and until a specific result is reached, it is not possible to make a judgment about them.

Anything being said right now is speculation and should not be given importance.
