The 41st Chief of Staff of the U.S. Army, Gen. Randy George, has been asked to step down from the post and retire immediately by Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth, who wants someone in the role who will implement his and President Trump “vision” for the Army, sources tell CBS News. Vice Chief of a Staff of the Army, Gen. Christopher LaNeve, who was formerly Hegseth’s military aide, will serve as Acting Army Chief of Staff until a successor to Gen. George is approved by the Senate.

Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) has again claimed that they shot down an American fighter jet. This time off the coast of Qeshm Island. However, the video released does not appear to show the downing of the jet, as the deployment of flares can clearly be seen up until the end of the video.

Following the announcement by the IRGC, accompanied by a questionable video, claiming to have shot down a fighter jet, U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) has stated that these reports are false, saying that “all U.S. fighter jets are accounted for.”
