Explosion Destroys Key Structure on Kerch Bridge Linking Crimea and Russia

"Ukrainian forces reportedly detonate large explosives, causing significant damage to the strategic bridge.

An explosion occurred on the Kerch Bridge, a vital transport link between Russia and Crimea, early in the morning.
Ukrainian authorities confirmed that the incident involved the detonation of approximately 1,100 kilograms of explosives, suggesting a sophisticated operation.
The explosion reportedly damaged several underwater pillars that support the structure.
The bridge, completed in 2018, is a crucial supply route for Russian military operations in Crimea and has been a focal point of tension since the escalation of hostilities in 2022." AustraliaTimes

Trump Rejects Iran Hormuz Deal: ‘They’re Losing So Badly’ — ‘Greatest Blockade Ever in Military History

"President Donald Trump rejected Iran’s latest proposal to reopen the Strait of Hormuz on Saturday, saying Tehran is “losing so badly” after the U.S. turned its attempt to close the waterway against it with what he called the “greatest blockade ever in military history” — while making clear he remains willing to reach an agreement on

terms he considers acceptable.
“They want to make a deal where they open the Strait immediately because they’re losing so badly,” Trump told reporters.
Trump contrasted Iran’s isolation with the growing commercial traffic moving through Hormuz under U.S. protection, saying Washington is “winning tremendously” and reiterating that the United States has “total control” of the strategic waterway.
“They outsmarted themselves,” Trump said. “They said, ‘Let’s close it and cause a problem for the world.’” Trump said the United States responded by effectively reversing Iran’s strategy.
“And then I came along, and we put up the greatest blockade ever in military history,” he said. “It’s a wall of steel.”
The result, Trump argued, is a strait increasingly open to international commerce under U.S. protection but effectively closed to the Iranian revenues Tehran depends on.
“They don’t have any money now, because they wanted to close the Strait,” Trump said. “And I said, that’s fine. We’re going to close it on you, but everybody else is able to use it.”

'We Got 'Em': Trump Confirms Terrorist Attack Thwarted in England

"President Donald Trump has confirmed that a major terrorist attack was thwarted in England. And it appears that the usual suspects are at it again.
The terrorist threat took place near a key air base used by U.S. forces. Trump said the suspects were looking to do "big damage."

Trump said American and British authorities had been watching the suspects before the arrests.
"The arrest in the UK was fantastic," Trump told reporters, according to Reuters. "We had them under investigation. They were looking to do big damage to our port and working with the British worked out great."
"We had them under view for a long time, and we got them," Trump added.
Arama noted that the base has served as an important hub for American air operations and hosts the U.S. Air Force's 501st Combat Support Wing.
Police established a 400-meter cordon around the vehicles while an Army explosive ordnance disposal team examined them. Around 85 households were told to evacuate as a precaution.
Reuters reported, citing a source familiar with the investigation, that investigators consider an Iranian-linked motive the most likely possibility, while also examining whether the incident could have involved a Russian sabotage operation or an Islamist plot." RedState
