Last update: an hour agoIran–U.S. Maritime Flashpoint: Iran’s IRGC says it destroyed a U.S. Saildrone Explorer near the Strait of Hormuz, after Tehran captured a U.S. underwater drone days earlier—raising fears of wider maritime escalation as shipping disruption pushes oil prices above $107/bbl.

North Korea Readies Firepower: Pyongyang conducted a joint firepower drill using long-range artillery and missiles plus attack drones, while South Korea and allies monitor recent launches. Defense Industry & Policy: NATO allies emphasized a more resilient posture built on interoperability and burden sharing; meanwhile, Kuwait approved a new drone law with registration, licensing, and penalties.
