Pro-Iran hackers published more than 300 emails and photos Friday from what appears to be a personal email account for FBI Director Kash Patel. In a statement, an FBI spokesman acknowledged the Iranian campaign. "The FBI is aware of malicious actors targeting Director Patel's personal email information, and we have taken all necessary steps to mitigate potential risks associated with this activity. The information in question is historical in nature and involves no government information," the spokesman said. The hacking group, called Handala, indicated on its website that the leak was in retaliation after the FBI and Justice Department seized several of its websites last week, accusing the group of "psychological operations" and saying it was a front for Iran's Ministry of Intelligence and Security.


Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth struck the names of two Black and two female officers from a military promotions list, sparking bias concerns, according to a new report on Friday.


Vice President JD Vance suggested that Iran had the desire to blow up grocery stores with nuclear suicide vests. During a cabinet meeting on Thursday, Vance praised the U.S. military strikes on Iran for creating options for negotiations. "What we have now that we didn't have when the president took over just a little over a year ago is the ability to use every tool at our disposal to ensure that Iran doesn't get a nuclear weapon," he explained. "Because when I say options, I think it's important the American people know, options, and it's options to ensure that Iran never has a nuclear weapon." "You talk about people who walk into a crowded supermarket and have a vest on, for what? And they blow up the vest, and a couple of people get killed, and that's a terrible tragedy. What happens when what's on the vest, it's not something that can kill a couple of people but can kill many, many tens of thousands of people?" he added.
