US President Donald Trump has claimed that the people of Iran want to make him their supreme leader, but according to him, he is not interested in taking the position. Speaking at a Republican fundraiser event in Washington, Trump also doubled down on his claim that Iran wants to end the nearly month-long war, insisting the officials in Tehran are negotiating with Washington but are afraid to admit it over fears of mutiny at home. Trump claimed that the idea of him becoming Iran's next Supreme Leader was informally floated by leadership in Tehran after the US-Israeli military campaign killed Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, but he turned them down.

Precision munitions are striking targets across a widening battle space.

This is not a budget debate. It is not an academic exercise in force planning. It is a real-time stress test of the American arsenal, and the early results are troubling. The United States entered this conflict with inventories already strained from years of high operational tempo and insufficient industrial replenishment.

No more unilateral direction or veto of platform decisions to remove, suppress, deplatform, or algorithmically bury protected speech.
