Assassinations, Jihad Attacks On U.S. Officials – Including Trump, Vance, Rubio, Hegseth And Their Families - Elon Musk And His Companies, U.S. Military, Microsoft, And Targeting Jews In America And Europe: 'There Are No Red Lines.' Al-Awlaki urged Muslims to revive the "tradition of assassinations," describing it as the "greatest form of Jihad today." He said the targets should be the "leaders of apostasy," whom he labeled "Jewish Arabs," specifically naming the leaders of Egypt, Jordan, and the Gulf states. He appealed directly to military personnel in Arab countries, calling on them to take action. He said Arab pilots should strike "the Jews," U.S. military bases in the region, and American aircraft carriers. At the very least, he said, they should attack the palaces of Arab leaders, describing these as the "initial steps" that must be taken. Al-Awlaki claimed there are 4.5 million Muslims in the United States and said that they should carry out acts of retaliation without hesitation, stating: "Do not consult anyone about killing infidel Americans." Speaking over images of Manhattan skyscrapers, he said that the list of targets should be "effective," and declared: "There are no red lines." #TerrorThreat #AlAwlakiSpeech #JihadPropaganda #USNationalSecurity #IslamistExtremism #CounterTerrorism #RadicalIslam #HomegrownTerror #TerrorRecruitment #AssassinationPlot #ExtremistViolence #AntiSemitismAlert #TargetedViolence #USMilitaryThreat #TrumpSecurity #JewishCommunityAlert #MideastTensions #CyberTerrorismWatch #GlobalSecurityThreat #ManhattanThreatAlert ~HT.410~ED.346~GR.122~

Pentagon Boss Hegseth CLASHES With Democrat Over Marines In LA | ‘Troops in LA Cost $134 Million’

House Democratic Caucus Chair Rep. Pete Aguilar (CA) grilled Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth over President Trump’s controversial decision to deploy the National Guard and Marines to Los Angeles without state approval. Aguilar raised concerns about troops lacking basic provisions, while Hegseth defended the move, calling Governor Newsom ineffective and asserting federal authority. The heated exchange reflects deepening tensions over federal intervention, civil unrest, and constitutional boundaries. The 60-day deployment has ignited sharp political backlash, with both sides trading accusations over leadership and law enforcement failures. #PeteAguilar #PeteHegseth #Trump #NationalGuard #LosAngelesProtests #MilitaryDeployment #Newsom #USPolitics #TroopDeployment #AguilarVsHegseth Also Read US Deploys 700 Marines To Los Angeles As Immigration Protests Intensify Against Trump's Diktat :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/us-deploys-700-marines-to-los-angeles-as-immigration-protests-intensify-against-trumps-diktat-4176947.html?ref=DMDesc Protests Intensify In Los Angeles After Trump Deploys Hundreds Of National Guard Troops :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/protests-intensify-in-los-angeles-after-trump-deploys-hundreds-of-national-guard-troops-4175915.html?ref=DMDesc Trump Warns Musk Against Supporting Democrats: 'Serious Consequences If He Does That' :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/trump-warns-musk-against-supporting-democrats-serious-consequences-if-he-does-that-4175377.html?ref=DMDesc ~HT.336~

‘Trump BETRAYED Us, Diverted 20,000 Missiles’ | Zelensky UNLEASHES on Trump

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky revealed in a TV interview that the Trump administration diverted 20,000 anti-drone missiles, originally approved under Biden, away from Ukraine to the Middle East. Zelensky said Ukraine relied on these precision-guided weapons to counter Shaheed drone strikes, including a record 472 drones on June 1. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth cited urgency but skipped a major Ukraine meeting. Trump later resumed aid after Kyiv agreed to a ceasefire, sparking backlash over his stance to “let the war continue.” #Zelensky #Trump #UkraineAid #DroneWar #MiddleEast #MilitaryAid #ShaheedDrones #TrumpReturns #AntiDroneMissiles #UkraineCrisis #PeteHegseth #USUkraine #WarPolitics #CeasefireDeal #BreakingNews #UkraineWar #DefenseControversy #BidenVsTrump #WeaponRedirection #UkraineDefense #MilitaryShift #Geopolitics #TrumpPolicy #RussiaUkraineWar #USForeignPolicy #DronesInWarfare #ZelenskyReveals #MissileDiversion #AIDFreeze #TrumpControversy Also Read Protests Intensify In Los Angeles After Trump Deploys Hundreds Of National Guard Troops :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/protests-intensify-in-los-angeles-after-trump-deploys-hundreds-of-national-guard-troops-4175915.html?ref=DMDesc Trump Warns Musk Against Supporting Democrats: 'Serious Consequences If He Does That' :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/trump-warns-musk-against-supporting-democrats-serious-consequences-if-he-does-that-4175377.html?ref=DMDesc Trump vs Musk: Billionaire Battle Turns Ugly With Epstein Taunt, SpaceX Heat :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/trump-vs-musk-billionaire-battle-turns-ugly-with-epstein-taunt-spacex-heat-4173783.html?ref=DMDesc ~HT.178~GR.122~HT.408~

NATO Allies Bows To Trump’s 5% Defence Spend Target Demand, Says US Defence Chief Hegseth

US Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth has said he is confident NATO allies will commit to Donald Trump’s bold demand of raising defence spending to 5% of GDP. Speaking after a high-stakes meeting in Brussels, Hegseth noted there was near-consensus among member states, with many already surpassing the 2% benchmark. The final commitment is expected during the Hague summit later this month. NATO Secretary-General Mark Rutte also supported a split plan—3.5% for hard military power and 1.5% for broader security needs—calling it a historic turning point in alliance capability. #NATO #TrumpDefenseDemand #PeteHegseth #5PercentGDP #DefenseSpending #NATOSummit #MarkRutte #MilitaryBudget #GlobalSecurity #USDefense #EuropeanSecurity #HagueSummit #TrumpPolicy #NATOTargets #PentagonNews #MilitaryStrategy #EasternEurope #HardPower #NATOCapability #NATOGDPGoal Also Read Trump Proposes Allowing Ukraine and Russia to Fight Before Seeking Peace :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/trump-ukraine-russia-fight-for-a-while-011-4173761.html?ref=DMDesc Trump Announces Travel Ban Affecting 12 Countries, Set To Go Into Effect Monday :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/trump-announces-travel-ban-affecting-12-countries-set-to-go-into-effect-monday-4172715.html?ref=DMDesc Trump Doubles Steel, Aluminium Tariffs To 50%, Excludes UK: "Vital For America's 'National Security'" :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/trump-doubles-steel-aluminium-tariffs-to-50-excludes-uk-vital-for-americas-national-security-4171703.html?ref=DMDesc ~HT.318~ED.346~GR.125~
