CNN is reporting that the 6 B-2 “Spirit” Long-Range Strategic Stealth Bombers with the 509th Bomb Wing, which arrived recently at Naval Support Facility Diego Garcia in the Indian Ocean from Whiteman Air Force Base in Missouri, are being used for strikes against the Iranian-backed Houthi terrorist group in Yemen.

In addition to the 6 B-2 “Spirit” Long-Range Strategic Stealth Bombers at Diego Garcia, CNN reports that the U.S. Navy and Air Force is utilizing AGM-158 Joint Air-to-Surface Standoff Missiles (JASSM), AGM-154 Joint Standoff Weapons (JSOW), and Ship-launched Tomahawk Land Attack Missiles (TLAM) against the Houthi terrorist group in Yemen.

The cost of the operation is reported to be nearing $1 Billion in less than three weeks, as officials state that the strikes have had only a “limited impact” on the Houthis’ military capabilities, with them continuing to launch both ballistic/cruise missiles and drones at U.S. naval vessels in the Red Sea as well as at Israel.

The large-scale operation is also said to have rattled some officials at U.S. Indo-Pacific Command (INDOPACOM), who have complained in recent days and weeks about the large number of long-range munitions being expended by U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) against the Houthis, particularly the JASSMs and Tomahawks. Those weapons would be critical in the event of a war with China, and military planners at INDOPACOM are concerned that the CENTCOM operation could have a negative impact on U.S. military readiness in the Pacific.

Interesting, following recent threats by Iran, that they would target Diego Garcia in the Indian Ocean with long-range ballistic missiles and drones if the United States used the island to launch strikes against Iran; @MT_Anderson on X has now spotted an Arleigh Burke-Class Guided-Missile Destroyer, believed to be the USS Wayne E. Meyer (DDG-108), on satellite imagery cruising near Diego Garcia. The USS Wayne E. Meyer (DDG-108) as a Flight IIA Destroyer, is equipped with Baseline 9.2.1 (BMD 5.1) of the Navy’s Aegis Combat System, which allows the Meyer to simultaneously conduct air warfare alongside ballistic missile defense (BMD).

The U.K. Office of Maritime Trade Operations (UKMTO) states that vessels are reporting interference today with their Global Positioning Systems (GPS) and other electronic navigation systems in the Strait of Hormuz, likely as a result of jamming by Iran.

Nintendo announced this morning that pre-orders for the Nintendo Switch 2, which were meant to begin in the United Stated on April 9th, will now be delayed to a currently unknown date, due to the tariffs announced Wednesday against Japan and other countries by U.S. President Donald J. Trump. However, Nintendo states that the launch date for the Switch 2, June 5th of 2025, still remains unchanged.

After nearly 24 hours of silence, the Department of Defense has finally acknowledged yesterday’s removal of General Timothy D. Haugh, the Commander of U.S. Cyber Command (CYBERCOM), Director of the National Security Agency (NSA), and Chief of the Central Security Service (CSS), from all of his civilian and military leadership roles; with Sean Parnell, Chief Pentagon Spokesman, stating earlier during a briefing, “The Defense Department thanks General Timothy Haugh for his decades of service to our nation, culminating as U.S. Cyber Command Commander and National Security Agency Director. We wish him and his family well.” Mr. Parnell offered no further details nor the reason for General Haugh’s removal.

U.S. President Donald J. Trump has just released drone footage showing one of the recent airstrikes by U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) on Western Yemen, targeting a large congregation of Houthi terrorists, with the caption reading, “These Houthis gathered for instructions on an attack. Oops, there will be no attack by these Houthis! They will never sink our ships again!” Over 70 terrorists can be seen gathered in the footage, with all of them likely to have been killed in the strike.

According to @BarakRavid, citing sources with knowledge on the issue, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is set to meet U.S. President Donald J. Trump in Washington D.C. this upcoming Monday. Amongst issues like Gaza and Iran, the two leaders are also expected to discuss the recent tariffs that Israel was unable to dodge. One thing noted by Barak Ravid was the tentative nature of these plans, as hearings for the prime minister’s ongoing corruption trial would have to be postponed for the meet to happen.

According to Yemeni channels, the strike on a large group of Houthi terrorists shown in the video posted on TruthSocial earlier tonight by U.S. President Trump, was from an airstrike on April 2nd against a Houthi military base within Al-Fazah in the Al Hudaydah Governorate of Western Yemen.

According to The Telegraph, a number of senior officials in the Christian Democratic Union (CDU) Party of Germany, who are set to lead the next German Government in the Bundestag, are considering the removal of all remaining 1,200 tons of its massive gold reserve, the second largest in the world behind the United States, from an underground vault at the U.S. Federal Reserve in New York City. Both current and former Officials with the CDU have stated considerations are ongoing about the removal of the gold from the U.S. Federal Reserve, which is believed to be worth about €113 billion and accounts for 30% of the country’s gold reserves worldwide, due to concerns that Washington is “no longer a reliable partner” to Germany.

Military aircraft over the Persian Gulf, off the coast of Qatar, appear to be suffering from some form of GPS interference or jamming, possibly from Iran; with a U.S. Air Force C-17 Globemaster lll (RCH856) appearing to make an extremely strange flight pattern after taking off from Al Udeid Air Base.

There were reports earlier today by the U.K. Office of Maritime Trade Operations (UKMTO) of commercial vessels in the Strait of Hormuz suffering interference with their GPS and other electronic navigation equipment as well, this may be linked.

C-17s also appear to be suffering from GPS interference over eastern Iraq, near the Iranian border.

A U.S. Air Force C-5M “Super Galaxy” Strategic Heavy-Lift Aircraft landed at Nevatim Airbase in Southern Israel earlier today, close to where the U.S. Army Terminal High Altitude Area Defense (THAAD) is deployed in the Negev Desert. The flight was likely related to THAAD and/or other air-defense systems in some capacity, possibly transporting missiles to replace those that have recently been expended intercepting ballistic missiles fired by the Houthis in Yemen at Israel.

The U.S. Department of Homeland Security announced Friday that it “accidentally” sent an email Thursday to a number of Ukrainians currently residing legally in the United States, stating that their legal status in the U.S. had been revoked and they must immediately leave the country or the “federal government will find you.” The Ukrainians who received the email, are in the United States under a parole program created under President Biden, allowing around 240,000 Ukrainians to temporarily live in the U.S. after fleeing the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine. Part of the email from Homeland Security read, “If you do not depart the United States immediately you will be subject to potential law enforcement actions that will result in your removal from the United States,” before a follow-up message was sent Friday stating that the email Thursday was an error while adding, “the terms of your parole as originally issued remain unchanged at this time.”
