🇺🇸⚡️ — President Trump via Truth Social:
The Democrats’ attempt to impeach Secretary of War Pete Hegseth has miserably FAILED! Every single Republican, except Thomas Massie, a major LOSER, voted in favor of Pete.
Again, Victories in Venezuela and Iran, the Best Recruitment Numbers in the History of the Military (Long waiting lists to get in!), and Spirit like rarely seen before, led to the EXONERATION of a Great American Patriot.
The Democrats continue to weaponize and abuse the United States of America. They must be stopped! MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN.

🇮🇷🇺🇸🇬🇧⚡️ — A dual Iranian-Iraqi national allegedly directed the failed plot against RAF Fairford, the British airbase hosting U.S. B-1 bombers, while imprisoned in New York, according to a federal indictment.
Mohammad Dawood al-Saadi, a Kataib Hezbollah commander, reportedly used coded prison calls to arrange funding and coordinate with IRGC operative Mohsen Mohajeri and Mohammad Ali al-Hassani. The plot involved fuel-filled vans intended as explosives, which British police intercepted in September.
According to prosecutors, al-Hassani arranged surveillance of the base, financed the acquisition of vehicles and fuel, and maintained contact with the drivers.
Prosecutors cited a recorded call from September 24 in which al-Saadi instructed relatives to “give him money so we can do it.”
Al-Saadi has pleaded not guilty to the initial charges and remains under strict communication restrictions.
