Trump on Iran:

Their leaders are all gone. Everything is all gone!

But they will fight onward.

Trump:

The Tomahawk missile is the most incredible—you can go through a doorway, put it through a window of a house.

We have the greatest weapons in the world, and we have to be careful about giving out secrets to the weapons. You can't copy them.

The Government has decided to temporarily suspend the free movement regime provided for by Schengen in maritime and air connections with Spain, reintroducing border controls.

BIG: The U.S. is reconsidering its long-standing military presence in Kuwait after the war with Iran exposed the country's vulnerability despite hosting thousands of American troops.

While Kuwait still views the U.S. as its primary security partner, the conflict has prompted both countries to rethink their defense strategy.

Washington is weighing a smaller military footprint to reduce risk, while Kuwait is seeking stronger air defenses and broader security partnerships, including a new defense pact with Pakistan.

The war has highlighted that a large U.S. presence no longer guarantees protection against modern missile and drone threats.
