A U.S. Navy C-2 Greyhound assigned to Fleet Logistics Support Squadron 40 (VRC-40) aboard the USS Gerald R. Ford (CVN-78) has departed Naval Station Rota, Spain to the southwest, indicating that the Ford Carrier Strike Group is still in relatively the same position as its last automated identification system (AIS) position 19 hours ago off the coast of Morocco.

The Times reports that the United Kingdom is currently blocking the Trump Administration's use of RAF Fairford in Gloucestershire, England and Naval Support Facility Diego Garcia on the British overseas territory in the Indian Ocean for an attack on Iran. This report follows President Trump's post to Truth Social yesterday stating that Iran may potentially attack the United Kingdom.

A U.S. Air Force C-32B Gatekeeper with Air Force Special Operations Command (AFSOC) landed earlier today in Tel Aviv, Israel. The C-32B has been associated with the 150th Special Operations Squadron out of Joint Base McGuire, and is used to respond to government crisis response activities and support CIA Special Activities.

Speaking during this morning’s meeting of his Board of Peace, President Donald J. Trump said that there is currently peace in the Middle East, despite the ongoing largest buildup of military aircraft in the region since the 2003 Invasion of Iraq. President Trump then states that there might be a deal with Iran and that people will find out in the next ten days, while further speaking about the success of Operation Midnight Hammer in June 2025.

President Donald J. Trump announces that the United States will be contributing $10 billion to his Board of Peace.

President Donald J. Trump: “Now is the time for Iran to join us on a path that will complete what we're doing. And if they join us, that'll be great. If they don't join us, that'll be great, too. But it'll be a very different path. They cannot continue to threaten the stability of the entire region. They must make a deal - or if that doesn't happen, I maybe can understand. If it doesn't happen, it doesn't happen. But bad things will happen if it doesn't.”

Sounds like a final ultimatum toward Iran by President Trump.

The Commander of the International Stabilization Force (ISF) in Gaza, Maj. Gen. Jasper Jeffers, announces that five countries have pledged to send troops to the ISF, including Albania, Indonesia, Kazakhstan, Kosovo, and Morocco, while Egypt and Jordan have committed to training police for the Gaza Strip. Additionally, Gen. Jeffers states that Indonesia has been offered and has accepted the role of Deputy Commander of the ISF.

President Trump: “I don't like young, handsome men. Women? I like. Men, no, I don’t have any interest.”

Poland on Thursday urged its citizens to immediately leave Iran, as the ongoing buildup of military assets by the United States continues across the Middle East. “Please leave Iran immediately and under no circumstances travel to this country,” Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk said, “I do not want to alarm anyone, but we all know what I am referring to. The possibility of a conflict is very real.” Adding that, “In a few, a dozen, or several dozen hours, evacuation may no longer be possible.”

Despite two rounds of negotiations between Iran and the United States, with the Americans demanding an end to Tehran’s nuclear work and constraints on its long-range ballistic missile program and support for regional armed proxies, Iran has thus far rejected a sweeping arrangement and has offered only modest concessions on its nuclear program. The impasse, which U.S. officials increasingly say is unlikely to be broken, has raised the prospects of strikes against Iran, officials tell the Wall Street Journal.

Yet another busy day for the U.S. Air Force over Europe, with KC-135R Stratotankers and KC-46A Pegasus continuing to arrive in the region and ferry fighter aircraft to the Middle East, as a clear steady line of C-17A Globemaster IIIs can be seen transporting personnel and equipment between bases in Europe and those in Bahrain, Jordan, Saudi Arabia, and Qatar.

More fuel for thirsty fighter jets as additional aerial-refueling tankers prepare to cross the Atlantic towards Europe, with 5 KC-135R/T Stratotankers lifting off from McConnell Air Force Base in Wichita, Kansas bound for Morón Air Base, Spain.

Former Prince Andrew seen leaving the police station in Norfolk, England following his arrested today for suspected misconduct in public office, related to his relationship with convicted sex offender and trafficker Jeffrey Epstein.

Six KC-135R/T Stratotankers assigned to the 6th Air Refueling Wing based out of MacDill Air Force Base in Florida, seen on the tarmac at Vrazhdebna Air Base, located on the site of Sofia Airport in Bulgaria, as the Air Force’s buildup of aerial assets directed at Iran, including aerial-refueling tankers, command and control aircraft, fighter jets, and intelligence platforms, continues across both Europe and the Middle East.

President Donald J. Trump once again spoke about Iran earlier while answering questions from reporters aboard Air Force One, stating that “really bad things” will happen if Iran doesn’t make a deal, setting a deadline of around 10-15 days.

President Donald J. Trump is weighing an initial limited military strike on Iran to force it to meet his demands for a nuclear deal, a first step that would be designed to pressure Tehran into an agreement but fall short of a full-scale attack that could inspire a major retaliation against U.S. Forces in the Middle East, officials have told the Wall Street Journal.

The opening assault, which if authorized could come within days, would target a few military or government sites, people familiar with the matter said. If Iran still refused to comply with Trump’s directive to end its nuclear enrichment, the U.S. would respond with a broad campaign against regime facilities - potentially aimed at toppling the Islamic Regime.

Reporter: “Prince Andrew arrested by the police there, related to something with Jeffrey Epstein. Do you think people in this country at some point, associates of Jeffrey Epstein, will wind up in handcuffs too?”

Trump: “Well, you know, I'm the expert in a way because I've been totally exonerated. That's very nice. I can actually speak about it very nicely. I think it's a shame. I think it's very sad. I think it's so bad for the Royal Family. It's very, very sad. To me, it's a very sad thing. When I see that, it's a very sad thing to see it and to see what's going on with his brother, who's obviously coming to our country very soon, and he's a fantastic man, the King. So I think it's a very sad thing. It's really interesting because nobody used to speak about Epstein when he was alive, but now they speak. But I'm the one that can’t talk about it because I've been totally exonerated. I did nothing. In fact, the opposite. He was against me. He was fighting me in the election, which I just found out through the last three million pages of documents.”
