Bloodhound Guides Pursuit of Armed Special Forces Fugitive in Tennessee Woods

New video from the Tennessee Highway Patrol shows law enforcement using a bloodhound to track Craig Berry, a retired Special Forces veteran accused of shooting his wife and fleeing into Stewart County woods. A large, multi-agency manhunt followed, with deputies, troopers, helicopters and K-9 units scouring rural Tennessee as the armed and dangerous suspect remained at large; Berry was later captured by a trail camera wearing camouflage, and investigators issued a second-degree attempted murder warrant as the search continued. The victim survived the shooting.

Seizing Iran’s Nuclear Fuel: A High-Risk, Low-Feasibility Strategy

Seizing Iran’s Nuclear Fuel: A High-Risk, Low-Feasibility Strategy

WIRED reports that a hypothetical plan by Trump to send U.S. ground troops to Iran to retrieve highly enriched uranium would be extraordinarily complex and dangerous, with experts deeming it likely infeasible. Any operation would involve multiple buried targets, possible air strikes to soften defenses, and JSOC-led breaching to recover or neutralize nuclear material, followed by decisions on whether to move the fuel to the U.S. or dilute it on site. The plan faces severe logistical challenges, uncertain quantities of HEU, and significant risk to troops, making success uncertain even with rapid deployment timelines.

US weighs covert raid to seize Iran's enriched uranium

The Trump administration reportedly considers deploying special forces into Iran to secure its stockpile of highly enriched uranium (about 440 kg, potentially enough for 10 nuclear weapons), with discussions of a mission involving security and extraction. The IAEA has identified large HEU reserves in deep tunnels at Isfahan and at Natanz’s Pickaxe Mountain facility, raising the stakes and complicating any operation. Experts warn such a ground operation would be extremely challenging and risky, prompting debate among lawmakers and analysts about alternatives, including dilution or shipment of the material and continued monitoring, while signaling that a strike or later action remains within the realm of possibility.

US-Israel weigh covert raid to seize Iran's uranium stockpile

U.S. and Israeli officials reportedly discussed sending special operations forces into Iran to secure the country’s stockpile of about 450 kilograms of 60% enriched uranium, a material that could reach weapons-grade in weeks. The uranium is largely believed to be in Isfahan’s underground tunnels, with portions at Fordow and Natanz. Possible options include removing the material entirely or diluting it on-site, and any operation would likely involve joint actions by U.S. troops and scientists (potentially with IAEA participation). The plan is described as one option among others, with President Trump signaling that ground troops could be possible later but not immediately;. Trump has not ruled out such an operation, and discussions have also touched on other targets like Kharg Island.

Artan: Ukraine’s elite unit redefines the Zaporizhzhia front in 2026

Ukraine’s Artan elite unit, formed in 2022 and now numbering in the hundreds, conducted a frontline operation in Zaporizhzhia Oblast that destroyed Russian assault groups, cut key supply lines, and established fire control over critical arteries near Stepnohirsk, according to Ukrainian Defense Intelligence. The operation improved Ukrainian tactical positioning at a front where Russia controls much of the region, though Zaporizhzhia city remains under Kyiv’s control.

El Mencho Killed in Raid That Unraveled Cartel’s Elite Security Net

Mexican special forces killed Nemesio ‘El Mencho’ Oseguera Cervantes, founder of the Jalisco New Generation Cartel, in a dawn raid near Tapalpa after months of tracking aided by U.S. intelligence and Predator drone surveillance. Oseguera ran a vast security network with nearly 400 gunmen, armored vehicles, rocket launchers, and land mines, but the army closed in, and he died en route to a medical center after being wounded during the operation.
