⚡U.S. intelligence says recent fighting has not significantly slowed Iran’s nuclear program.

Officials still estimate Iran would need about 9–12 months to build a nuclear weapon if it chose to do so—roughly unchanged from last year.

Iran’s stockpile of highly enriched uranium remains largely intact and unaccounted for, which experts say is key to any weapons timeline.

⚡A man in the city of Dnepropetrovsk opened fire on recruitment agents trying to conduct a mobilization.

Both agents were injured and are in hospital.

Violence and resistance against forced mobilizations in Ukraine has seen an uptick in 2026. As I have stated previously, the pool of volunteers for Ukraine has dried up.

Brigade commanders report that new recruits lack motivation and it shows up on the battlefield.

⚡Trump:

Iran has taken some shots at unrelated Nations with respect to the Ship Movement, PROJECT FREEDOM, including a South Korean Cargo Ship. Perhaps it’s time for South Korea to come and join the mission! We’ve shot down seven small Boats or, as they like to call them, “fast” Boats. It’s all they have left.

Other than the South Korean Ship, there has been, at this moment, no damage going through the Strait. Secretary of War Pete Hegseth and Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, Dan Caine, will have a News Conference tomorrow morning. Thank you for your attention to this matter! President DONALD J. TRUMP
