Did Hegseth Just Declare War On Iran? Warns Of Consequences After Houthi Drone Hits U.S. Carrier
U.S. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth has issued a direct and forceful warning to Iran following a serious incident involving a Houthi drone that forced the USS Harry S.
Truman to take evasive actionâresulting in the loss of an F-18 jet.
Hegseth declared that Iran will âpay the consequence at the time and place of our choosing,â calling out Iranâs support for the Houthi terrorist group.
Backed by President Trumpâs retweet, this message signals a potential escalation as the U.S. vows to respond decisively to any further aggression in the Red Sea region.

In a move set to draw global attention, US President Donald Trump is preparing an elaborate welcome for Russian President Vladimir Putin at Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson in Alaska on August 15. According to senior administration officials, Trump will personally greet Putin on the tarmac, rolling out the red carpet in a rare display of pageantry between Washington and Moscow. While the final schedule remains under wraps, one official confirmed Trump is not expected to speak with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy or European leaders before the meeting. The high-profile encounter comes at a time of strained US-Russia relations, with both leaders expected to discuss security, trade, and global conflicts. Observers say the optics of this meeting could have far-reaching political consequences, especially given its unusual location and symbolic timing.

As Donald Trump prepares to meet Russian President Vladimir Putin in Anchorage, Alaska, on Friday, Americans remain deeply divided over the high-stakes summit. Critics are denouncing the meeting as a âtravestyâ and a potential act of betrayal, warning it could undermine U.S. interests and embolden Moscow. Supporters, however, see the gathering as a historic opportunity for Trump to broker a path toward âworld peace,â arguing that direct dialogue could end dangerous escalations.
The Alaska meeting, set against the backdrop of the Ukraine war and tense U.S.-Russia relations, is drawing intense media coverage and heated public debate. While some fear Trump will concede too much to Putin, others believe he is uniquely capable of negotiating a breakthrough. With speculation running high, all eyes now turn to Anchorage, where the outcome could redefine Americaâs role on the global stage.

Sir Ed Davey said he is "sceptical" about Donald Trump's ability to bring peace to Ukraine. "The problem is Ukraine is not up on the table, you can't have another country negotiating for another country," Mr Davey added.

âLiberation Dayâ in Washington, D.C.
President Donald Trump has declared a public safety emergency and taken direct federal control of the D.C. Metropolitan Police. Flanked by Attorney General Pam Bondi, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, and FBI Director Kash Patel, Trump announced the deployment of the National Guard to restore order in the capital, which he compared to Baghdad and Mexico City.
Citing âphony crime numbers,â Trump said D.C. is spiraling into chaos â and heâs not stopping there. Cities like Chicago and Los Angeles are next on his list as he vows to expand the federal crackdown.
Is this a bold move to save American cities â or an unprecedented power grab? Watch and decide.

The Pentagon has confirmed the long-anticipated test date for Trump's billion-dollar "Golden Dome" missile defense systemâjust weeks before the 2028 election. Announced in May, Trumpâs campaign-era promise aims to create a space-based shield against missile threats. The timing raises eyebrows, with defense experts questioning if this is military strategy or political theater. Led by Gen. Michael Guetlein and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, the program faces tight deadlines, scaling challenges, and skyrocketing costs. With $25B already allocated, the pressure to deliverâboth technically and politicallyâis mounting.

The Pentagon is facing yet another high-profile departure as Justin Fulcher, a senior advisor to Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, is set to step down after only six months on the job. Fulcher is now the sixth senior official to leave the department since Hegseth's controversial appointment, raising serious questions about the stability and leadership within one of the world's most powerful military institutions. The news, first reported by CBS News as a firing, was quickly disputed by the Pentagon, with spokesman Sean Parnell calling the claim "false" and unfair to Fulcher.
This wave of resignations comes amid a turbulent tenure for Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth. He has been at the center of multiple scandals, most notably a major security breach involving a Signal chat group discussing sensitive military operations, such as strikes in Yemen. In an unprecedented move, Hegseth reportedly added an editor from The Atlantic to this top-secret chat, a scandal that sent shockwaves through the defense community.
Justin Fulcher himself was no stranger to conflict within the Pentagon's walls. He reportedly stormed out of a heated meeting with the Pentagon's DOGE team in April and later claimed the Pentagon Force Protection Agency was actively searching for him. This incident allegedly infuriated Hegseth, who then personally confronted DOGE team lead Yinon Weiss for targeting his advisor. Despite the drama, Fulcher's departure statement was diplomatic, calling his time working with the Pentagon's personnel "incredibly inspiring." This video breaks down the full story behind the chaos at the Pentagon.

Yemenâs Houthi rebels claim they have launched hypersonic Palestine-2 missiles at Israelâs Ben Gurion Airport, boasting of a direct and significant strike. The Israel Defense Forces (IDF), however, deny the attack caused any damage, stating the incoming missile was intercepted before impact. The bold claim marks a dramatic escalation in the Houthisâ involvement in the ongoing regional conflict, intensifying tensions between Israel and its adversaries.

A major escalation was narrowly avoided as the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) intercepted a ballistic missile launched from Yemen by the Iran-backed Houthi rebels. Sirens rang out across Jerusalem and central Israel as the incoming threat was neutralized in mid-air by Israeli air defense systems. Magen David Adom confirmed there were no injuries or damage reported. Israeli authorities have since declared the situation under control, but tensions remain high as the region braces for potential retaliation. Watch dramatic visuals and real-time updates as Israel faces another direct missile threat.

The conflict escalates. In a bold and coordinated strike, the Yemeni armed forces launched three drones targeting Israeli military positions deep inside the occupied territories. The explosive visuals show fiery impacts across Yaffa, Ashkelon, and the port of Haifa, in what the Houthis call a retaliatory operation for Gaza.
The Yemenis say they will continue their drone and missile campaigns until Israel ends its siege and offensive in Gaza.
This marks one of the most significant escalations from Yemen in recent weeks, signaling a regional expansion of the war that now stretches far beyond Gazaâs borders.
Israel has not officially responded, but analysts warn that more such strikes could provoke a wider Middle East confrontation.
Watch the footage, military impact analysis, and the warning signs the world is ignoring.

Yemenâs Armed Forces have delivered a bold message to Israel and the world by penetrating Tel Avivâs missile shield with explosive-laden drones that struck three high-value targets â including a sensitive Israeli site in Jaffa, military infrastructure in Ashkelon, and a strategic zone in the Negev Desert.
Brigadier General Yahya Saree confirmed the success of the operations and warned of continued strikes until the siege and genocide in Gaza end. The strikes form part of Yemenâs relentless campaign of solidarity with Palestine, which has also involved firing advanced ballistic and hypersonic missiles. Meanwhile, Yemen has issued a clarion call to Muslims and Arabs worldwide to rise, protest, and break the Gaza blockade. The message is clear â Gazaâs resistance is not alone, and regional escalation is mounting fast. Is a broader conflict in the Middle East now inevitable?

A Comoros-flagged livestock ship was attacked off Yemenâs Red Sea coast near Mocha by unidentified gunmen in a small boat. The vessel was en route from Somalia to Saudi Arabia when it came under fire. Though no group has claimed responsibility, the incident adds to growing fears over shipping safety amid ongoing Houthi threats. Security firm Ambrey warns vessels to avoid eastern waters near the Hanish Islands. With the U.S. drawing back and Israel escalating strikes, tensions in the Red Sea continue to rise.
