U.S’ Flip-Flop Game: U.S Military Aid To Ukraine Under Review As Pentagon Halts Key Shipments

The Pentagon has confirmed it is conducting a “capability review” to reassess whether military aid to Ukraine aligns with America’s shifting defense priorities. Chief spokesperson Sean Parnell said the U.S. is taking a hard look at promised weapons deliveries — some of which are now halted — to ensure national interests come first. The move follows the White House’s decision to stop key shipments of air defense ammunition, artillery shells, and missiles previously pledged under the Biden administration. With President Trump’s “America First” policy reshaping foreign aid strategy, the Pentagon appears to be pivoting away from prolonged foreign entanglements. Ukrainian officials have slammed the halt as betrayal, warning it weakens their resistance against Russia’s advances. Meanwhile, analysts say this could signal a major realignment in U.S. global commitments — and a boost for Russian military strategy.

Hegseth Explodes Media Coverage on Iran Strikes: Accuses of Rooting Against Trump, Ignoring Heroism [Video]

Hegseth Explodes Media Coverage on Iran Strikes: Accuses of Rooting Against Trump, Ignoring Heroism

In a fiery Pentagon briefing, U.S. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth lashed out at the media, accusing them of "cheering against Trump" and downplaying the success of Operation Midnight Hammer — a bold series of U.S. airstrikes targeting Iran's nuclear sites. Hegseth defended the mission’s results, slammed leaks of low-confidence intelligence reports, and praised the courage of American pilots and defense crews. With tensions high and politics in play, the Secretary warned that biased reporting could overshadow what he called a “historic” blow to Iran’s nuclear ambitions. #Hegseth #IranStrikes #TrumpNews #PentagonBriefing #USAirstrikes #OperationMidnightHammer #MediaBias #PeteHegseth #BreakingNews #Geopolitics #USvsIran #TrumpAdministration #MilitaryNews #DefenseDepartment Also Read Sajindas Devidas Reveals How AI-Driven Nudges Are Quietly Redefining User Behavior :: https://www.oneindia.com/in-the-news/sajindas-devidas-reveals-how-ai-driven-nudges-are-quietly-redefining-user-behavior-4166947.html?ref=DMDesc Power Of Reusability: Creating Configurable Payroll Rules That Scale Across Modules" By Rajagopal Arputham :: https://www.oneindia.com/in-the-news/the-power-of-reusability-creating-configurable-payroll-rules-that-scale-across-modules-by-rajagopal-4164205.html?ref=DMDesc article testing new :: https://www.oneindia.com/temp/article-testing-new-4058241.html?ref=DMDesc ~HT.318~ED.102~PR.152~GR.122~

'Every Weapon Had a Target. None Missed': Pentagon Details Chilling Precision of Iran Strike

The Pentagon revealed that every weapon deployed in the recent U.S. strike on Iran had a pre-assigned target — and none missed. Officials emphasized the unprecedented precision of the operation, which focused on Iran’s nuclear infrastructure and command hubs. The statement underscores the effectiveness of American airpower, particularly the deployment of GBU-57 bunker busters, and suggests a major degradation of Iran’s strategic capabilities. #USAttacksIran #FordowStrike #IranNuclearSite #TrumpIranStrike #IsraelAttacksIran #IranIsraelWar #USIranConflict #FordowFacilityHit #PentagonStrikeDetails #IranUnderAttack #IranNuclearCollapse #BunkerBusterStrike #IranFordowAttack #MiddleEastTensions #USPrecisionStrike ~HT.410~PR.152~ED.420~GR.124~
