The U.S. military is reportedly preparing for possible renewed major combat operations against Iran, while Yemen’s Houthis claim another ballistic missile attack on King Khalid International Airport in Riyadh. Former F-15E Strike Eagle and Thunderbird pilot Max Afterburner breaks down the Axios reporting, the Saudi-led coalition’s claim that it destroyed 82 Houthi military targets, and why sensors, intelligence and target tracking matter more than a dramatic explosion.
We examine JD Vance’s nuclear-enrichment demands, Iran’s Strait of Hormuz rhetoric, the separate tanker incident off Qatar, and the distinction between strike preparations and an execution order. We also update the suspected-plague investigation in Irkutsk: Russia denies plague and a second infection, while WHO seeks further information.
Global Roundup: Hegseth recognizes the USS Abraham Lincoln carrier strike group, France’s student protests continue, and South Korea reports its first hypersonic glide vehicle test. The F-15E is discussed as a capability example; participation in the reported operations is not confirmed. This show separates official statements, adversary claims, reporting and military analysis.
