🚨🇮🇱🇵🇸 — Israeli Defense Forces:

Overnight (Monday), the IDF and ISA struck in the northern Gaza Strip and eliminated the terrorist Ahmad Batash, commander of the Jabaliya Battalion in the Northern Gaza Brigade of Hamas’ military wing.

As part of his role, the terrorist was responsible for managing and organizing the Northern Gaza Brigade’s weapons and coordinated and facilitated the supply of weapons and military equipment to Hamas operatives.

Recently, the terrorist advanced terrorist attacks targeting IDF troops and Israeli civilians and operated to restore the terrorist organization's capabilities, in systematic violation of the ceasefire.
The terrorist was eliminated in order to remove the threat he posed.

Prior to the strike, steps were taken to mitigate harm to civilians, including the use of precision munitions and aerial surveillance.

The security forces remain deployed in the area in accordance with the agreement and will continue to operate to remove any threat.

⚡️🇬🇧🇺🇸🇳🇱🇮🇷 — Western Intelligence Warns of Iranian Cyber Campaign Deploying 'CHOSEN BRICK' Spyware Against Dissidents and Press, — THE JERUSALEM POST.

​➡️ Britain’s National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC), alongside the U.S. FBI and the Dutch AIVD intelligence service, issued a joint cybersecurity advisory warning that Iranian state-linked threat actors are actively deploying a spyware family known as "CHOSEN BRICK" to target dissidents, activists, and journalists. According to the advisory, the attackers utilize sophisticated spear-phishing tactics on messaging platforms like WhatsApp and Telegram—frequently impersonating trusted contacts or deploying fabricated documents such as fake MRI test results—to trick victims into downloading the malware.

​➡️ Once installed, the malware is capable of harvesting contact lists, private messages, emails, social media accounts, screen captures, and live microphone audio, with some victims' compromised personal details subsequently surfacing on pro-Iranian leak sites. Senior NCSC officials condemned the digital offensive as a ruthless effort by Tehran to leverage digital surveillance and suppress overseas critics, though Iran's embassy in London did not immediately respond to requests for comment regarding the joint advisory.

⚡️🇺🇸 — U.S President Donald Trump:

The Kennedy Center is in a virtual state of collapse, and has been for many years. A large piece of concrete and steel just dropped down, in a thud, from the ceiling of a heavily trafficked main hallway.

If the Building were open, innocent people would have been killed. A security guard had just passed the area, one minute prior to this ceiling collapse. He was, therefore, 60 seconds away from certain death.

The Judge has made us keep it open even though there are no performances, and no people that would have the Courage to even go in.

The Board of The Kennedy Center has strongly voted to save it, and they know I’m the only one who can do so, because I have the ability to raise the money, and the ability to construct — that few others have.

I also have the strength and power of the Presidency, which will be needed do what must be done, and give it a strong shot at Greatness again!

Remember, The Kennedy Center was losing Hundreds of Millions of Dollars when I took over. It was failing badly! It had nothing to do with me, I am only there to help.

I just got there to reveal the facts, but especially those concerning Building Safety. A very hostile and conflicted Judge (What else is new?) seems like he won’t let that happen, in which case, unfortunately, the Building is destined to doom.

Isn’t that too bad? We have already wasted more than 6 months “playing around” in Court. Time is our Enemy!

The Board, comprised of some of the most prominent and respected people in our Nation, is meeting again today. It will be interesting to see what happens!

Thank you for your attention to this matter.

taken important first steps here. Please count on our continued support. The focus of our conversation today, our meeting today, was the difficult situation in the region as a whole. We talked at length about the Strait of Hormuz and about the role of Iran. Iran must finally end this blockade. Above all, it must halt its military nuclear program, Teran's support of proxies throughout the region must stop. We see the consequences every day. We also urge Iran not to spread the conflict further into Iraq.

we blicken deshalb mit Sorge auf die Entwicklung im Roten Meer. Die Houthis kontrollieren mittlerweile strategische Stellungen um Bab Almandab. Sie greifen Energieanlagen in Saudi-Arabien an. Das verschärft die Lage an den Energiemärkten weiter, und das trifft auch Deutschland. Wir sehen das mittlerweile jeden Tag. Die internationale Staatengemeinschaft kann nicht zulassen, dass die Houthis nun die Schifffahrt im Roten Meer zur Geisel nehmen. Wir beraten in der Europäischen Union und mit den Partnern in der Region, auch mit Ihnen, welchen Beitrag wir zusammen leisten können, um diesen Konflikt zu beenden.

I want to diversify and expand our export routes. Until now, Iraq has been dependent on a single strait. That has always been the case.

We have to diversify our exports: one part through Türkiye, one part through Syria, and one part through the Mediterranean.

This oil will be sold toward the West — to Europe and the U.S.

⚡️🇺🇸🇮🇷 — The U.S. military destroyed two Iranian small boats on Monday after the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps tried to seize a Navy drone patrolling the Strait of Hormuz, U.S. officials told Axios.

➡️ An American drone fired two missiles at the boats after U.S. forces identified the attempt, destroying both and killing most of those on board. CENTCOM spokesperson Capt. Tim Hawkins confirmed the attempted seizure, saying: "Iranian small boats recently attempted to take possession of a U.S. unmanned surface vessel, but they were unsuccessful after CENTCOM forcefully responded. The surface drone remains under U.S. operational control."

➡️ The U.S. military initially did not disclose the strike, and Iranian media presented it as a drone strike on "fishing boats" near the port city of Kargan and Larak Island in Hormozgan province. Deputy Governor Ahmad Nafisi attributed the strike to U.S. forces and said an unspecified number of fishermen were missing as search-and-rescue operations continued.

➡️ The incident took place as the U.S. attempts to protect increased commercial traffic through the strait. U.S. forces and Gulf countries have begun conducting daytime transits of tankers, rather than only at night, and the mine-cleared parts of the middle shipping lane have been expanded.

➡️ An average of 40 ships now transit the strait daily under U.S. military guidance, with roughly 14 million barrels of oil exported through the waterway daily. Saudi Arabia has significantly increased the number of tankers it sends through the strait as fighting with the Houthis in the Red Sea escalates, and several LNG and LPG tankers have also transited over the past week.

⚡️🇺🇸 — The Trump administration is stripping tens of millions of dollars in U.S. military assistance from Europe and the Middle East to support conservative-leaning governments in Central and South America. The State Department notified Congress on Tuesday that it will reprogram $52 million in foreign military financing from Slovakia, North Macedonia, Tunisia and Iraq to Panama, Peru, Ecuador and Colombia — AP.

➡️ Secretary of State Marco Rubio visited Colombia, Ecuador and Peru last week and pledged additional support, as the administration has prioritized the Western Hemisphere with an emphasis on combating drug trafficking and illegal immigration. Foreign military financing provides recipient countries with U.S. taxpayer dollars to purchase military equipment from American defense contractors.

The State Department said the funds would be used to "combat narcoterrorism in our backyard and help continue to secure the Panama Canal," adding that the Western Hemisphere has been historically neglected in U.S. military assistance. "These funds will prevent adversaries from establishing strategic footholds in our hemisphere," the department said in a veiled jab at China, which has increasingly sought to boost its presence in Latin America.

➡️ The shift does not eliminate foreign military financing for Tunisia, Iraq, North Macedonia or Slovakia, although the exact amount remaining for those countries was not immediately clear. The State Department said the current distribution of financing does "not align with the administration's prioritization of" the Western Hemisphere.

⚡️🇺🇸🇯🇴 — U.S. Central Command:

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. — On Sept. 15, U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) and the Jordanian Armed Forces kicked off exercise Eager Lion 2026 at Fort Carson in Colorado.

More than 200 military personnel from Jordan and the United States are participating, including National Guard personnel from Colorado and Illinois. The two-week event is designed to deepen U.S.-Jordanian military cooperation, which remains a cornerstone of Middle East security and stability.

"Our longstanding military-to-military ties with the Jordanian Armed Forces are stronger than ever," said Adm. Brad Cooper, CENTCOM commander. "Working and training together will further strengthen our collective operational effectiveness and readiness."

Eager Lion 2026 is the 12th iteration of the biennial exercise. This year, U.S. service members will train alongside Jordanian counterparts during scenarios that focus on planning and coordination in counterterrorism, air defense, maritime security, cyber, and disaster response.

The state of Colorado has a special relationship with the Jordanian Armed Forces. The Colorado National Guard established a longstanding partnership with Jordan's military through the State Partnership Program.

Established in 1993, the State Partnership Program pairs state National Guards with militaries of other nations to promote global security cooperation. Colorado and Jordan began partnering in 2004, forging enduring trust and personal bonds for more than 22 years.

This is the first time the United States is hosting Eager Lion.

⚡️🇺🇸🇮🇱 — The Trump administration is preparing a multibillion-dollar sale of 2,000-pound bombs to Israel, the largest single sale of the munition in recent years, a U.S. official told The Washington Post.

The $2.8 billion package, purchased with U.S. taxpayer dollars, includes 40,000 bombs weighing 2,000 pounds each: 20,000 MK-84s, 20,000 BLU-117s (a variant of the MK-84 with thermal protective coating for naval storage), and 20,000 I-2000 Penetrator warheads (a penetrating bomb body used to attack hardened structures). Among the most destructive munitions in Western military arsenals, an MK-84 explosion sends metal fragments in every direction for thousands of feet, can rip through metal and thick concrete, and often creates large craters.

➡️ The 2,000-pound bombs have been employed by Israel on hundreds of occasions in Gaza and Lebanon, playing a significant role in the death toll of those conflicts. Israel has drawn criticism for routinely dropping MK-84s in zones it designated as safe for civilians in Gaza. “They do like to use them a lot when they’re trying to target any building,” said Trevor Ball, a former explosive-ordnance-disposal technician for the U.S. Army. “If Hezbollah or whoever is in a building, an MK-84 will bring down the whole building.”

Nicknamed the “hammer” by U.S. pilots in the first Gulf War, it is the only munition that President Joe Biden’s administration stopped sending to Israel during the Gaza war out of concern about the killing of Palestinian civilians, suspending a single shipment in the spring of 2024. The policy was immediately reversed by President Donald Trump in January 2025, his first month back in office.

Although the delivery time for such orders can take several years, approving these sales signals a broader "vote of confidence" in the bilateral relationship with Israel.

➡️ The Trump administration is pressing the leaders of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee and the House Foreign Affairs Committee to approve the sale. Republican and Democratic leaders historically have backed such sales, but they are starting to face resistance from rank-and-file members regarding U.S. support for Israel stemming from the unpopularity of the wars in Gaza and Iran. Republicans are more unified in their support for Israel, but a growing number of conservative commentators, including Megyn Kelly, Tucker Carlson and Candace Owens, have questioned Washington’s steadfast backing and the $3.8 billion of aid the United States sends to Israel every year.
