Thirty House Democrats are urging President Donald Trump to disclose whether Israel possesses nuclear weapons, citing transparency laws. The administration is expected to reject the request.

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth defended the Pentagon’s budget, saying Iran and Lebanon are holding their positions as the U.S. keeps pressure on Tehran.

President Donald Trump claimed Iran told the U.S. it is in “total collapse” and asked to reopen the Strait of Hormuz as soon as possible. Iranian media rejected the claim.

At a Detroit event, former U.S. vice president Kamala Harris blasted Donald Trump, accusing him of being pulled into a confrontation with Iran "by Netanyahu." Trump, for his part, praised Israel as "brave, bold, loyal, and smart."
