US launches Hellfire missiles at tanker headed for Iran’s Kharg Island

US launches Hellfire missiles at tanker headed for Iran’s Kharg Island

The US has launched Hellfire missiles at an oil tanker attempting to reach Iran’s Kharg Island, after Donald Trump warned Tehran it “better behave” amid renewed strikes over the Strait of Hormuz. The unladen tanker had ignored multiple warnings before the US military fired the missiles into the ship’s smokestack, Central Command (Centcom) said. Kharg Island is home to a terminal through which Tehran exports most of its oil. It came as US forces carried out two waves of attacks on Iran’s coastal defences and missile sites on Wednesday after reimposing a naval blockade of its ports, an escalation which has come days after the collapse of a fragile truce collapsed. Iran struck back by targeting US military sites in neighboring countries in what it called an “existential war” with America. Tehran is also threatening to shut off more regional energy exports, as fears of a resumption of full-scale war grow. Smoke rises from an explosion at an unknown location, during what U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) says are strikes on Iran (Reuters) Since resuming a …

Ukraine to Produce French Missiles, Orders War Planes, Macron Says

Ukraine to Produce French Missiles, Orders War Planes, Macron Says

PARIS, July 13 (Reuters) – President Emmanuel Macron ⁠said ⁠on Monday that ⁠France would allow Ukraine to produce French-made cruise ​missiles, precision guided bombs and air defence interceptor missiles after ‌Kyiv ordered next generation Franco-Italian ‌air defence systems and Rafale fighter jets. “Earlier this ⁠afternoon ⁠President (Volodymyr) Zelenskiy and I agreed on a roadmap between our ​two countries, implementing what had been agreed in principle last November regarding our bilateral defense cooperation,” Macron said at a news ​conference following a meeting of some 25 leaders in ⁠Paris. Macron’s announcement ⁠marked the first time ⁠France ​has agreed to licence production to Ukraine, a move that ​would enable it ⁠to ramp up stocks at a time when Russia is intensifying strikes on the country. The production centres around AASM precision-guided air-to-ground bombs, Aster air-defence interceptor missiles and SCALP, long-range ⁠air-launched cruise missiles, which Britain also produces. Macron said radar systems ⁠were also being ceded to Ukraine. He said Zelenskiy had also ordered the delivery of next generation SAMP-T air defence systems, which would follow deliveries of the …

Trump: “1000 missiles are locked and loaded” for Iran if he’s killed

Trump: “1000 missiles are locked and loaded” for Iran if he’s killed

President Donald Trump escalated tensions with Iran on Saturday, claiming he has already given the U.S. military standing orders to unleash a massive retaliatory strike if Tehran carries out or attempts to carry out an assassination against him. “1,000 Missiles are Locked and Loaded,” Trump wrote on Truth Social, adding that the military had already received orders to “completely decimate and destroy all areas of Iran” for a one-year period if such an attack were to occur. The president’s comments came amid renewed threats from Iran following the recent U.S.-Iran conflict and reports that Tehran continues to view Trump as a target for retaliation over the 2020 U.S. killing of Iranian commander Qasem Soleimani in addition to the assassination of its most recent leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei. But while Trump’s language suggested a preauthorized military response, constitutional experts say no president can predetermine how a successor would respond to such an attack. Under the Constitution and the Presidential Succession Act, if a president dies in office, the vice president immediately becomes president and commander in …

An Explosion Knocked Out Anduril’s Rocket Motor Test Site in Mississippi

An Explosion Knocked Out Anduril’s Rocket Motor Test Site in Mississippi

A rocket motor exploded during a test at an Anduril facility in Mississippi last Friday, marking another setback in the startup’s hopes of becoming a major supplier of missile propulsion systems for the defense industry. Anduril publicly confirmed the incident after an inquiry from WIRED. No one was injured in the blast, which damaged Anduril’s testing stand, the company’s chief operating officer Matt Grimm said in a social media post on Tuesday hours after WIRED contacted the company about the incident. Three people familiar with Anduril’s operations, who were granted anonymity to discuss a sensitive situation, tell WIRED that they can’t recall another time when a similar test resulted in an explosion in the past few years, and they were unaware of what may have caused last week’s mishap. The incident halted a key step in the prototype testing work that generates revenue for Anduril’s rocket motor unit, and rebuilding the setup could take up to a couple of months, one of the people says. Grimm wrote in his post, which included photos of smoldered …
