Army Launches $2.2B Project Janus to Deploy Nuclear Microreactors at Five Bases

The U.S. Army has awarded up to $2.2 billion in contracts to five private firms to design and build nuclear microreactors for major military installations under Project Janus. The initiative aims to ensure energy independence for critical bases by the end of September 2028, a deadline set by President Trump. While officials emphasize resilience against grid failures, critics argue the program subsidizes unproven technology and bypasses standard regulatory oversight.

US strikes widen in southern Iran, aiming at Hormuz logistics and infrastructure

US strikes widen in southern Iran, aiming at Hormuz logistics and infrastructure

The piece argues that after a week of strikes along Iran’s southern coast, the U.S. appears to be shifting from retaliation to degrading Iran’s military capability around the Strait of Hormuz, with reports eight people killed as bridges, a maritime surveillance tower in Chabahar, and other infrastructure were hit. Analysts say the campaign is expanding inland to target facilities that enable Iran’s IRGC operations, signaling a broader strategy to deny Tehran the ability to regenerate power around Hormuz. Some observers even entertain the possibility of a limited ground role focused on nuclear material while Washington continues maritime pressure to keep Hormuz open, framing the effort as a sustained campaign rather than a series of retaliatory strikes.

"Surge of Chinese Migrants Poses Threat to US Southern Border"

Guam's delegate, Rep. James Moylan, warns of an influx of illegal Chinese migrants infiltrating the territory, posing a threat to US national security and military bases.

With Guam's strategic importance in the Indo-Pacific region, Moylan emphasizes the need to strengthen the island's defenses and deter the CCP's interests, highlighting bipartisan support in Congress and the authorization of funding for military infrastructure and missile defense systems.

Hamas's Use of Civilian Sites and Tunnels Exposed by IDF in Gaza

The Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) have exposed Hamas' use of civilian sites, including schools and residential buildings, for launching rockets, storing weapons, and conducting attacks in the Al-Shati refugee camp in northern Gaza. This discovery highlights Hamas' wider strategy of using civilian infrastructure for military purposes throughout the Gaza Strip, raising concerns about the safety of civilians in the event of a military response by the IDF. Israel expects difficult fighting in the next phase of its war in Gaza but is open to "constructive feedback" on minimizing harm to civilians while targeting Hamas.
