The future and the story of the 21st century will be written in this region and by how events unfold here.

The security and prosperity of the United States and Southeast Asia will always depend on each other.

We will stand by Ukraine united and in solidarity for as long as it takes. We see it with clear eyes: Russia is an existential threat for our countries in Europe.

We are already faced with Russia's hybrid actions, and therefore determined to increase our defense readiness.

I ask you to join our calls to Russia to stop the killing in Ukraine and engage in talks genuinely to reach a ceasefire and then just and lasting peace.

Launched from the TCG Sakarya submarine, the torpedo scored a direct hit on the target ship M/G Sokullu Mehmet Paşa, completely destroying it.

AKYA — produced by ROKETSAN — is a next-generation heavy-class torpedo with active/passive sonar homing, fiber-optic wire guidance for real-time control, and wake-homing against surface targets.

It can engage both submarines and surface vessels, has entered serial production, and is replacing older foreign torpedoes in the Turkish Navy's inventory.

Settler violence has reached extreme levels, attacks on homes, farmlands, people carried out in broad daylight with almost no consequences.

We recorded in 2025 more than 13,000 settler violence attacks in one year, which means some villages in the West Bank may face two attacks from settlers in broad daylight in a single day.

Our government is confronting a deliberate policy of financial restrictions.

Israel continues to withhold Palestinian clearance revenues, funds that legally belong to our people, undermining our ability to pay salaries, sustain services, and maintain our institutions.

For the last 14 months, we have received nothing from our clearance revenues, and our civil employees have been paid in half for the last five years. Despite these pressures, our government continues to function and deliver.

The cable urges diplomats to promote U.S. AI as the most reliable option and discourage countries from pursuing independent "sovereign AI" systems, though European officials remain skeptical that U.S. tech access couldn't be restricted again.

The family says it has faced repeated settler attacks since April, while recent clashes left several Palestinians injured.

MAGA CANDIDATES WON EVERYTHING LAST NIGHT IN ARIZONA, A COMPLETE SWEEP!!! I WON ARIZONA 18 MONTHS AGO.

THE DUMOCRATS ARE DUMBFOUNDED. AFTER DECADES, ARIZONA IS BECOMING A REPUBLICAN STATE. CONGRATULATIONS TO ALL!

From this point forward, any time the Islamic Republic of Iran shoots at a ship in the Strait of Hormuz, whether it be by Missile, Rocket, Drone, or any other device or weapon, the United States will bomb and destroy ONE BRIDGE OR POWER PLANT, including those located next to, or in, the Capital City of Tehran.

Thank you for your attention to this matter!

March 2026: 48-hour deadline for Iran to reopen the Strait or face power plant destruction "starting with the biggest one first".

Early April: "Bridges next, then Electric Power Plants!" — after the B1 bridge in Karaj had already been hit.

April 5 (Easter Sunday): The peak — "Open the Fuckin' Strait, you crazy bastards, or you'll be living in Hell — JUST WATCH!".

April 6–7: Trump floated "complete demolition" of every bridge and power plant in a single night; "a whole civilization will die tonight".

What actually happened: The all-out nationwide destruction never came.

Deadlines kept slipping into mediated talks (via Pakistan, Oman, Egypt, Türkiye).

We deserve an education system that works. We deserve an education system that is fair. And we don't have it.

Children have committed suicide. Our children go through unlimited stress, and then at the last minute they're told that the paper has leaked, so there's a legitimate problem. It is now a very deep problem in this country.

152 paper leaks have taken place over the last decade. If you do the math, that's approximately one every month.

Every month, lots of students are told, "All the stress you went through—you have to go through it again." And after that, we really don't care. We don't care if there's a re-exam.

7.5 crore (75 million) students and their families have been affected by this. These are middle-class and poor families. They put their hard-earned money into this.

And the best part of this is: zero convictions in the last ten years. One hundred and fifty-two paper leaks have taken place, and zero convictions.

It's not just that the system is rigged. The system is unaffordable. And this is a statistic that everybody knows, but somehow the Government of India doesn't.

One exam—the NEET exam—costs families almost the same amount of money as our entire national education budget.

What exactly have our students done? Thousands and thousands of students—what have they done to have security forces beat them up, to humiliate them? What have they done wrong?

They are protesting peacefully. They are asking for their demands. They are asking for what this country owes them.

They are not criminals.

His name appears thousands of times in the DOJ's Epstein files, and he was also facing a separate rape accusation, which he denied.

Authorities are investigating the cause of death, with an autopsy pending.
