BREAKING: Trump ordered the US military to develop new strike plans that include deploying the "mother of all bombs," the largest non-nuclear bomb in the US arsenal against Iran to target "a lot of energy infrastructure" and nuclear sites, per multiple US officials to CNN. The newly developed options amount to a "fireworks show," a US official says. The plans for striking Iranian nuclear sites, including Pickaxe Mountain, also explicitly call for using the MOAB, should Trump give the order to resume the war either before or after the midterm elections.

BREAKING: The U.S. is now again preparing for the possibility of another major wave of attacks against Iran, with a massive surge in C-17 military cargo flights over the past 36 hours — an unusually sharp increase compared with previous weeks, according to flight-tracking data. Most of the flights are reportedly landing in Israel, as Iranian strikes have damaged American-linked facilities across the region. The buildup comes as the Pentagon moves a third carrier strike group and an estimated 9,000–10,000 additional troops toward the Middle East. The USS Theodore Roosevelt and Makin Island Amphibious Ready Group are expected to join the regional deployment. Iranian officials also believe a joint U.S. and Israeli attack is very likely.

⚡️BREAKING: New White House Press Secretary Katie Zacharia, introduced by Trump as "an attorney," has deep ties to China, working in Beijing for years at Chinese law firm Zhong Lun. Zacharia was asked today where she passed the bar exam and in which U.S. state, she replied: “When I moved to China." There is no record of admission from her to practice law in any of the 50 U.S. states or D.C. After graduating in 2011 she moved to Beijing and spent roughly two to three years there, working as an associate at Zhong Lun, a major Chinese firm, which routinely acts as counsel for Chinese state agencies, state-owned enterprises, and cross-border transactions tied to Chinese government.
