For President Trump, choosing targets and launching cruise missiles to punish the Syrian regime for using chemical weapons this week may have been a relatively clear-cut decision. The big problem is what comes next. The military had been preparing options for a strike against President Bashar al-Assad since well before 2013, when the Syrian dictator […]
UN ambassador Nikki Haley seemed to hint at a possible US intervention in Syria on Wednesday during a UN Security Council meeting. During her address to the council, Haley harshly condemned the gas attack in Syria that killed dozens on Tuesday. She slammed Syrian President Bashar al-Assad’s regime as “barbaric” and said Tuesday’s attack had “all the hallmarks […]
The men who built the secret bomb factory had been clever — suspiciously so, Bahraini investigators thought, for a gang known mostly for lobbing molotov cocktails at police. The underground complex had been hewed, foot by foot, beneath the floor of a suburban villa, with no visible traces at street level and only a single […]
LONDON — North Korea must be stopped on its path toward being able to threaten the United States with nuclear attack, U.S. Defense Secretary Jim Mattis said Friday in a stark expression of America’s top national security concern at the moment. He emphasized diplomatic means of changing Pyongyang’s “reckless” agenda. On his first visit to […]
Iran is set to host its first international marathon race in the capital of Tehran next week, and will include dozens of runners from countries like the United States and the United Kingdom.

CENTCOM Commander General Joseph Votel says that Iran is the greatest threat to regional stability in the Middle East, and the U.S. should look to disrupt their activities through military or other means. General Votel gave testimony before the House Armed Services Committee yesterday, where Iran and its disrupting and confrontational presence in the greater […]
As if the political and economic chaos wracking Venezuela wasn’t worrying enough, a couple of recent stories underscore the potential national security threat brewing there. First, last month’s designation of Venezuela’s vice president, Tareck El Aissami, as a drug kingpin by the U.S. Department of Treasury. Second, a CNN investigative report revealing that Venezuela’s embassy […]
Lieutenant General Gadi Eisenkot, Chief of Staff of the Israeli Army, said on Tuesday Israeli intelligence believes Hezbollah’s former military leader was murdered by his own men. Mustafa Badreddine was killed last year in an explosion, originally attributed by Hezbollah as an Israeli airstrike, and then an assassination from a rival Sunni militant group. A […]
Iran has established underground weapons factories for Hezbollah inside Lebanon, part of a broader Iranian armament effort that has helped Hezbollah expand its stockpiles to many times what it was 10 years ago, during the Second Lebanon War. The source of the information for the story is somewhat dubious. The story broke in a small […]
The Trump administration is positioning itself to renew sales of precision guided weapon systems to Saudi Arabia, a move originally shelved by the Obama administration. The State Department has left a proposal for the arms sale with the White House for approval. The measure is seen as another form of the Trump administration taking a […]
According to reports released to Iran’s semi-official news agency Tasnim on Thursday, Iran has successfully test-fired a naval missile this week, highlighting recent aggressive interactions between Iranian forces and the United States Navy. According to Iraqi military officials, the missile, named the Hormuz 2, has a range of approximately 180 miles and was built entirely […]
The Russians have reneged on a historic arms control treaty signed between the United States and Russia, an Air Force General said yesterday.
