Lindsey Graham died in Kyiv, not Washington, DC. He arrived in Kyiv on the morning of 10 July. The trip to Kyiv entails flying to Poland and then taking a 8-10 hour train ride. He was visiting a drone factory in Kyiv that was hit by the Russians. He did not have enough time to depart Ukraine on Saturday morning, take the train to Poland and then catch a flight back to DC.

Senior folks at the Pentagon are talking about Senator Graham dying during an inspection of a drone factory in Kyiv. When members of Congress travel to Poland the standard procedure for most U.S. congressional delegations (and many other Western officials) traveling to Kyiv since the full-scale invasion began in 2022 is the following.
Typical Travel Route
Fly into Poland โ Usually to Rzeszรณw-Jasionka Airport (RZE, near the Ukrainian border) or Warsaw Chopin Airport (WAW).
Transfer to train โ From there, they board a secure overnight train operated by Ukrainian Railways (Ukrzaliznytsia) from stations like Przemyลl or Warsaw to Kyiv.
The train is often specially arranged with enhanced security.
How Long Is the Trip?
Train ride: Approximately 8โ12 hours (overnight) from Przemyลl to Kyiv, depending on the exact route and border processing.
Total door-to-door: Often 12โ24 hours from the U.S. (including flights and transfers). the standard procedure for most U.S. congressional delegations (and many other Western officials) traveling to Kyiv since the full-scale invasion began in 2022.

๐ฎ๐ท๐บ๐ธ๐ฏ๐ด| The Prince Hassan Air Base targeted by Iran this morning is the one hosting the $240 million MQ-4C Triton, which was deployed in Al Dhafra Air Base before the war started, but repositioned due to its dangerous proximity with Iran.
According to satellite images, a drone hangar was indeed destroyed, and smoke was still visible on low-res Sentinel-2 satellite imagery. (July 12, 08h16 am UTC)
Osint users have been tracking the MQ-4C, and if it doesn't take off in the next 48 hours it is very likely destroyed by Iran.
The drone was operating daily, last operation yesterday July 11.

As reported by the Washington Post, citing military personnel who served at the facility in the Kuwaiti port of Ash-Shuaybah, there should not have been any troops there at all. The site was inadequately protected against drone attacks.
On the second day of the war between the U.S. and Iran, it was indeed a drone that struck the location of American troops, causing a fire and killing six soldiers. Dozens of others were injured.
Just seconds after the explosion of the drone that hit the American headquarters, Brigadier General Clint Barnes abandoned his subordinates and rushed to an underground bunker. Dozens of soldiers under his command remained above ground, where a fire broke out at the impact site.
Despite a group of soldiers and officers rushing to assist their comrades, the general took no action.
At least 17 service members spoke about the incompetent and irresponsible actions of the American high command. All of them spoke on the condition of anonymity, fearing reprisals.
In the photo are Brigadier General Clint Barnes of the U.S. Army and General John Hinson, named responsible for the irresponsible placement of American troops at an inadequately protected site.

๐บ๐ธ #Michigan. Two people were shot Saturday evening inside Great Lakes Crossing Outlets in Auburn Hills, prompting a large police response and the temporary closure of the mall.
Authorities said a 20-year-old Pontiac man was killed and a 19-year-old woman suffered non-life-threatening injuries. One suspect is in custody, and investigators say there is no ongoing threat to the public as the investigation continues.
Plot twist: story is he has legal CPL & this was self defense.

๐ฎ๐ท Strait of Hormuz situation
CNN claims that after the IRGC's nighttime statement, ship traffic through the Strait of Hormuz has dropped to a minimum. CENTCOM, on the other hand, states that the strait is fully open. Well, US Central Command has made such claims before. In reality, it is impossible to speak of either freedom of navigation or a complete blockade of the artery. Over the past 24 hours, 34 commercial vessels with transponders activated passed through the strait. Plus, possibly some number of ships without them. This is not pre-war levels, but also not the figures recorded in March. The situation remains quite difficult and is still very far from normalization.

โญ๏ธ In response to yet another night of violent US airstrikes on Iran, the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) issued five statements overnight and into the morning, detailing a widening retaliatory campaign targeting US military assets across the region.
โ
โ Statement No. 1:
The IRGC said that following its naval operation to stop two non-compliant vessels that had switched off their tracking systems and were sailing through illegal routes in the Strait of Hormuz, the United States launched renewed attacks on Iranian coastal military positions. In the first phase of its response, the IRGC said it set ablaze several large missile depots and fuel storage facilities at the Prince Hassan Air Base in Jordan using missiles and drones, adding that further retaliatory operations would follow.
โ Statement No. 2:
In the second phase of operations, the IRGC said it struck key helicopter maintenance facilities, a P-8 electronic warfare aircraft hangar, and the US military's drone command-and-control center at Sheikh Isa Air Base in Bahrain. The IRGC said the attacks came in response to continued US military aggression and added that its retaliatory operations remain ongoing.
โ Statement No. 3:
The IRGC announced the complete destruction of fuel depots and a Patriot air defense system at Ali al-Salem Air Base in Kuwait, as well as the destruction of a strategic FPS radar system at Ahmad al-Jaber Air Base. The statement reiterated that the Strait of Hormuz is Iranian territory and warned that Iran would not permit a "rogue and child-killing army from across the world" to continue interfering in the waterway.
โ Statement No. 4:
In the fourth phase of retaliation, the IRGC Ground Forces said they targeted a US surface-to-surface missile base in Kuwait, destroying two HIMARS missile launchers and missile-filled ammunition depots. The IRGC said the strike formed part of its continuing campaign against US military assets in the region.
โ Statement No. 5:
The IRGC said its naval forces targeted US military facilities and infrastructure in Juffair, Bahrain, while also destroying a long-range FPS air surveillance radar and a maritime detection radar in the Sultanate of Oman through missile and drone strikes. The statement added that the only path toward reopening the Strait of Hormuz to maritime traffic is an end to US interference in the waterway and respect for states' sovereignty over their coastal waters, warning that continued intervention could trigger far greater disruptions to global oil and gas markets.
