U.S. Air Force heavy airlift activity over Europe and the Middle East continues this morning with at least 2 C-5M Super Galaxy and 8 C-17A Globemaster III aircraft active.

Foreign Minister of the Islamic Republic of Iran, Seyed Araghchi, states the Iranian government has published a list of 3,117 "victims of recent terrorist operation", referring to the widespread protests that erupted across Iran in late December and early January of this year. This statement is following President Trump's statement yesterday placing the death toll closer to 32,000.

President Trump has announced that, after a "thorough, detailed and complete" review of yesterday's decision from the U.S. Supreme Court striking down his use of the International Emergency Economic Powers Act of 1977 to levy broad tariffs against virtually every country that he is raising the 10% worldwide tariff announced during his press conference yesterday to 15% effective immediately.

At least 10 U.S. Air Force C-17A Globemaster IIIs are airborne from the east coast bound for Europe. Most of these flights originated at Fort Hood, Texas and may be related to the movement of further air-defense assets into the Middle East.

In a post earlier on Truth Social, President Donald J. Trump announced that the United States is sending a “hospital boat” to Greenland at the request of Louisiana Governor Jeff Landry, who is currently serving as the White House’s special envoy to Greenland, with the post containing a picture of the USNS Mercy (T-AH-19). Only problem is, both of the U.S. Navy’s hospital ships, USNS Mercy (T-AH-19) and her sister ship USNS Comfort (T-AH-20), are undergoing repairs at Alabama Shipyard in Mobile.

According to Axios, Republican Senator Lindsey Graham has urged President Donald J. Trump to follow through with strikes against Iran. The comments were made following the senator's trip to the Middle East where he visited key allies in the region, Saudi Arabia, the UAE, and Israel. However, Graham also said that select officials within the administration have continued to cautioned restraint and the prioritization of maximum pressure over kinetic actions. Graham said his advice was motivated by the opportunnity "to bring about historic change" in Iran. Graham, who is close to the president, has long held a more hardline view on Iran

Two Ilyushin Il-76TDs with the Russian Ministry of Emergency Situations, SUM9105 and SUM912, landed earlier tonight at Sharjah International Airport in the United Arab Emirates, possibly pre-staging for the future evacuation of Russian diplomatic staff and other officials from the Middle East, as tensions in the region continue to rise between Iran and the United States.

Early Saturday, the USS Delaware (SSN-791), a Virginia-class nuclear-powered attack submarine on a routine patrol in the Northern Atlantic, was forced to surface off the coast of Greenland due to an onboard urgent medical emergency involving a Submariner with the U.S. Navy. According to reports from Denmark’s Joint Arctic Command, the Servicemember was airlifted from the submarine by a MH-60R Seahawk assigned to the HDMS Vædderen (F359), a Thetis-class ocean patrol vessel of the Royal Danish Navy, to advanced medical care at a hospital in Nuuk.
