Red Alerts now across Southern Israel, following the reported launch of a ballistic missile by the Houthis in Yemen.

A readout from the White House detailing the call between U.S. President Donald J. Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin is expected imminently. According to Russian state media outlets, the call went “very well”.

After sirens were triggered in Southern Israel due to a missile launch from Yemen, the Israel Defense Force (IDF) has now said that one missile from Yemen was intercepted outside of Israeli territory.

Chief Justice of the U.S. Supreme Court, John G. Roberts has issued a rare statement rebuking calls recently from President Donald J. Trump and his allies to impeach federal judges who have ruled against the Trump Administration, most recently District Judge James E. Boasberg who attempted to prevent the Administration from transferring roughly 200 criminal illegal migrants to prisons in El Salvador. “For more than two centuries, it has been established that impeachment is not an appropriate response to disagreement concerning a judicial decision. The normal appellate review process exists for that purpose,” Roberts said in his statement, adding “We do not have Obama judges or Trump judges, Bush judges or Clinton judges. What we have is an extraordinary group of dedicated judges doing their level best to do equal right to those appearing before them. That independent judiciary is something we should all be thankful for.”

Russian state-owned media has now provided some details from the call between the U.S. and Russian presidents. Details below:
- A 175 for 175 prisoner swap is expected to take place tomorrow March 19, 2025 between Ukraine and Russia.
- The two leaders also talked about the ongoing conflict in the Middle East.
- President Putin at least tacitly agreed to President Trump’s proposal for a 30-day halt on Russian strikes against Ukrainian energy infrastructure.
- Increased Russo-American bilateral cooperation. Pledged to create dedicated working groups to facilitate negotiations.
- Come to an agreement on the safety of shipping in the Black Sea. (It should be noted that Russia has been the primary threat to commercial shipping in the Black Sea for the entire conflict)
- A “complete cessation” of military aid to Ukraine was stressed by Russia’s top decision-maker.

Note: This is not from the expected White House readout bug Russian state-owned media citing Russian officials. It may differ from the White House readout’s characterization of the call.

Following an situational assessment tonight, the IDF Homefront Command has announced an easing of restrictions for communities in Southern Israel surrounding the Gaza Strip, moving from “Limited Activity” to “Partial Activity” allowing schools and other education activities if they are near a protected area.

After the Israel Defense Force (IDF) stated that they shot down a Houthi missile outside of Israeli territory, the Houthis have announced that they launched a Palestine 2 “hYpERsoNIc” missile at Israel earlier. According to their release, they were targeting the Nevatim Air Base. The missile never reached the target area.

The White House readout of the call today between Russian President Vladimir Putin and U.S. President Donald J. Trump doesn’t differ greatly from previous releases from the Kremlin.
Like the releases from the Kremlin, the two biggest points of note here are the tentative plan for a 30-day pause on Russian strikes on Ukrainian energy infrastructure and the negotiations surrounding commercial shipping in the Black Sea.

Quick note:
On the proposed 30-day pause to Russian missile and drone strikes on Ukrainian energy infrastructure: Its highly unlikely that Russia will move to implement such a pause should Ukraine refuse to mirror the move and pause strikes on Russia’s oil and gas infrastructure.

Footage released by the U.S. Navy, showing recent flight operations by F/A-18E/F “Super Hornets” from Strike Fighter Squadron 11 (VFA-11), Strike Fighter Squadron 81 (VFA-81), Strike Fighter Squadron 136 (VFA-136) and Strike Fighter Squadron 143 (VFA-143), all attached to Carrier Air Wing One (CVW-1) aboard the USS Harry S. Truman (CVN-75), who is currently located in the Northern Red Sea.

Several reports now suggesting an ongoing wave of airstrikes by the Israeli Air Force on military sites in the Homs Governorate of Central Syria.

Airstrikes by the U.S. Navy reported now on the Saada and Sanaa Governorates of Northern Yemen.

Tomahawk Land Attack Missiles (TLAMs) being launched from the Arleigh Burke-Class Guided-Missile Destroyer, USS Stout (DDG-55) while flying her Battle Flag in the Red Sea, as strikes by the U.S. Navy continue today against the Iranian-backed Houthi terrorist group in Western Yemen.

The Trump Administration tonight publicly released over 80,000 pages of documents into the Federal Archives, related to the assassination of President John F. Kennedy in 1963, his assassin Lee Harvey Oswald, the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) and the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), most of which comes from the U.S. House Select Committee on Assassinations (HSCA).

Several of the documents have been seen or spoken about publicly before, though a majority of the ones released are related to CIA activities, surveillance carried out on Oswald prior to the assassination, as well as the relationship and work done by Oswald with the CIA, which were previously not released due to concerns of harming “National Security.”

Those who have read though the documents prior to their release tonight have stated that there are no major “bombshells” in the pages, proving any kind of conspiracy in the assassination of JFK, such as the “Two Shooters Theory” or anything linking the assassination to the CIA or then Vice President Lyndon B. Johnson. With the notable documents released, relating to covert operations carried out by the CIA during the Cold War in Center/South America and Asia.

For the fourth time in 3 days, the Houthis announce claims that they have targeted the USS Harry S. Truman (CVN-75) and its Carrier Strike Group (CSG) in the northern Red Sea. According to a Houthi release they targeted the CSG with “a number” of cruise missiles (anti-ship cruise missiles [AShCM]) and drones.

Despite U.S. President Donald J. Trump stating only roughly an hour before, that Russian President Putin had “agreed to an immediate Ceasefire on all (Ukrainian) Energy and Infrastructure” during their phone call today. The Russian Air Force reportedly carried out a glide-bomb attack on a power station near Sloviansk within the Donetsk Region of Eastern Ukraine, resulting in parts of the city and several nearby communities to be thrown into a blackout, all while dozens of drones targeted other cities and targets across Ukraine. I don’t see how this can be seen as anything other than blatant disrespect by Putin towards President Trump.

U.S. President Donald J. Trump is reportedly speaking to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky right now, for the first time since his phone call yesterday with Russian President Putin.

Footage has been released by U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM), showing a drone launched by the Iranian-backed Houthi terrorist group in Western Yemen, being downed, likely over the Red Sea, by a F/A-18 “Super Hornet” using a Hydra 70 Rocket equipped with a AGR-20 Advanced Precision Kill Weapon System (APKWS).

According to Axios, U.S. President Donald J. Trump’s recent letter delivered to Iranian Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei included a “two-month deadline” for Iran to agree to a new nuclear deal. The letter reportedly did not say what would occur once the two months elapsed, but it is likely that the chance of U.S. and/or Israeli military actions against Iran and its nuclear program would dramatically increase.
