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.”

Following the arrival earlier today of a U.S. Air Force C-5M “Super Galaxy” Strategic Heavy-Lift Aircraft at Nevatim Airbase in Southern Israel; Al Arabiya is now reporting that the United States has transferred two MIM-104 “Patriot” Surface-to-Air Missile Batteries as well as another Terminal High Altitude Area Defense (THAAD) to Israel.

Until we receive further confirmation from other media outlets or U.S. defense officials, I’m going to assume that these reports are untrue, mainly the report of another THAAD being sent to Israel. The U.S. has already stationed a THAAD in Israel and it is fully-integrated into the Israeli Aerial-Defense Array, this deployment wouldn’t really make much sense, especially considering that Iran’s response to a U.S. attack would likely target the Gulf Nations not Israel or Jordan. It’s possible that Al Arabiya has confused today’s flight and/or another deployment with last week’s report of 2 “Patriots” and a THAAD being transferred from South Korea to the Middle East. Though with how quickly things are moving in the region right now, anything is possible.

According to an Iranian official who spoke to Reuters, Iran has issued notices to Iraq, Kuwait, the United Arab Emirates, Qatar, Turkey and Bahrain that any support for a U.S. strike against Iran, including the use of their national airspace, territory or bases by the U.S. military during an attack, would be considered an act of hostility.
