“I Take Him at His Word”: The Warning Disguised as Trust; President Trump’s message to Xi and Putin reveals the hidden architecture of the Iran war

On July 24, President Trump published an extraordinary message on Truth Social directed at Xi Jinping and Vladimir Putin. He said Xi had promised him that China would not, “under any circumstances,” give or sell weapons to Iran, emphasizing that the commitment included Chinese companies. Putin, he said, had given him a similar assurance regarding Russia.

Now They Are Making Flock Cameras That Can Fly and Read License Plates From 2,000 Feet Away

The next time you go for a drive, you might want to look up. The company that put thousands upon thousands of automated license plate readers in communities all over America is now putting them in the sky. Flock Alpha drones can travel at speeds of up to 60 miles per hour, and they can read license plates from 2,000 feet away. These drones are being marketed as “first responders”, and they have the potential to be far more intrusive than automated license plate readers that are simply mounted on the side of the road.

Trump says Iran war talks taking place during lull in strikes

US President Donald Trump has said "there are very friendly negotiations going on" about the conflict with Iran, after the warring sides did not exchange strikes for a third straight day.

He expressed optimism for an end to the war on Monday, telling reporters aboard Air Force One: "I think there's a good chance that something could happen."

However, he warned that Washington would "go back to doing what we were doing" before the pause in fighting if the latest negotiations failed.

Tehran has denied that any direct negotiations are taking place.

Trump said he had decided to pause US strikes on Iran on Friday because the countries mediating between them had asked him to give the talks another chance.

Iran has also halted its attacks.

The pause follows nearly two weeks of daily US strikes and tit-for-tat attacks, effectively unravelling the ceasefire struck in June.

The US military said at the time that its strikes were aimed to "degrade Iran's ability to threaten commercial shipping in the Strait of Hormuz" - a global route for transporting oil.

The price of oil on Monday fell by more than 9% to $87.59 a barrel at one point on hopes the conflict could be de-escalated.

Aboard the presidential plane, Trump also dismissed media reports that after five months of fighting, US ammunition stockpiles were now running low.

"We have a lot of ammunition. We have a lot of the mid-level stuff too, more than we could ever use, no matter what," Trump said. "But we have a lot. I'd like to have more."

'NOBODY TELLS ME': Trump Rejects Netanyahu’s Opposition to F-35 Sale to Turkey

Israeli settlers set fire to mosques, cars and farm land in West Bank, Palestinians say

Israeli settlers have set fire to two mosques, as well as cars and agricultural land in the occupied West Bank, Palestinian officials say, as tensions in the territory continue to flare.

The latest attacks come two days after a clash between settlers and Palestinians near the village of Tal, which left four Palestinians and two Israelis dead.

Both sides accused the other of provoking the violence.

The confrontation has further inflamed the situation in the West Bank, which has seen ever growing violence by extremist settlers against Palestinians, encouraged by far-right elements in the current Israeli government.

Palestinian reports say that two villages in the occupied West Bank came under attack from settlers overnight, with cars vandalised, property stolen and hate graffiti spray painted on walls.

The mayor of Qusra said that settlers set fire to a mosque that was under construction.

Abdul Azim Wadi said that settlers spray painted graffiti that included the word "revenge" on the walls of the mosque.

The Singularity Is Here? 10 Ways AI Could Remake Society For Better Or Worse

OpenAI CEO Sam Altman recently speculated that the 'singularity' is now here - the creation of intelligence greater than humanity's own, followed by an accelerating cycle in which superhuman systems produced still more powerful systems. At that point, technological progress could become so rapid that existing models for predicting the future would no longer work.

Trump's Middle East Gamble-Arming Today's Allies Could Create Tomorrow's Enemies

History is filled with governments that armed a friendly regime only to watch those weapons one day fall into hostile hands. That is why two recent foreign policy positions by President Donald Trump deserve far more scrutiny than they are receiving.

No Place To Hide: Flock Drone Cameras Take To The Skies

As the US pauses the war with Iran, is Trump really running out of weapons?

When US President Donald Trump took the stage earlier this month at the Pennsylvania Defense and Innovation Summit, flanked by the CEOs of some of America's largest defence firms, he had one message in mind: build more weapons, and build them faster.

"We have the best quality in the world," Trump told the armsmakers gathered at the US Army War College, with 'Secretary of War' Pete Hegseth at his side. "But we need a little more speed."

The Trump administration framed the summit as part of a two-pronged approach to revitalise American industry and bolster US warfighting capabilities and, in Hegseth's words, its "arsenal of freedom".

Largely unspoken, however, was the vast expenditure of sophisticated and difficult-to-manufacture weapons used during nearly 40 days of intense combat operations in Iran during Operation Epic Fury earlier this year and tit-for-tat strikes that have taken place since. So far, the US government says the war has cost $37.5bn (£28bn), and the vast majority of that has been spent on munitions.

US and Iran pause strikes for third night to make space for talks, US ambassador says

President Donald Trump has paused attacks on Iran for the third night in a row to give diplomacy more time, the US ambassador to the UN said.

Speaking to Fox News on Sunday, ambassador Mike Waltz said the president was "giving talks some space, he's giving it a little bit of room".

An Iranian army spokesperson said on Sunday that Tehran had halted "retaliatory" attacks in the region in response. The pause follows nearly two weeks of daily US strikes and tit-for-tat attacks, effectively unravelling the ceasefire struck in June.

Oil prices have dropped sharply in the wake of the pause, falling below $90 per barrel on Monday morning after hitting $100 for the first time since May last week.

Asked whether Trump had decided against escalation for now, Waltz told NBC: "I wouldn't go that far at all. The president is keeping all options on the table."

Waltz also rejected reports in the New York Times, external that administration officials had warned expanding hostilities could dangerously drain a diminished stockpile of air defence munitions.

"The US military... has everything that it needs to conduct this campaign as effectively as it needs to be," he said.

Speaking to CBS, he added: "We'll see over the next coming days. But make no mistake, additional military assets are moving into the region."

"The regime should believe the president when he says they're locked and loaded, and where all options are on the table."
