Today in History
On July 13, several notable moments in the history of News stand out. In 1977, Somalia declares war on Ethiopia, starting the Ogaden War. In 2008, Battle of Wanat begins when Taliban and al-Qaeda guerrillas attack US Army and Afghan National Army troops in Afghanistan. The U.S. deaths were, at that time, the most in a single battle since the beginning of operations in 2001. In 2011, United Nations Security Council Resolution 1999 is adopted, which admits South Sudan to member status of United Nations. Together, these milestones provide historical context for today's news news and ongoing narratives. More

BRIEF: Crank Agrees with Trump That Iran War Was Necessary Because Iran Was ‘Preparing an Attack’ on U.S. Military Personnel
Earlier this month, when asked by KOA talk radio host Mandy Connell for his thoughts on the war in Iran, Rep. Jeff Crank (R-CO) responded, “I was with the president, and look, I’ve seen some intelligence. We can’t get too much into that, but I can say this. I think the president acted to stop an attack that was being planned on U.S. service personnel within the region. We have many military installations where our service members are serving in that region that are vulnerable to ballistic missile attacks from Iran.”

Operation Epic Fury's Unanswered Question: Why Did Iran Endure?
Operation Epic Fury has exposed a strategic blind spot in US thinking about Iran. While American strikes devastated military assets, Iran’s has retained a resilience due to its economic core – especially Kharg Island, which handles about 90 of its oil exports. By targeting missiles and proxies rather than the system that sustains them, the US achieved tactical victories without weakening Iran’s capacity to endure.

RIYADH — The Ministry of Foreign Affairs expressed Saudi Arabia's strongest condemnation of Iran's continued destabilizing behavior, describing it as a threat to the region's security and stability and a violation of the principles of international law. In a statement issued on Sunday, the ministry said Iran's repeated attacks on commercial vessels violate the United Nations Charter, the Charter of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation, and the principles of good neighborliness. The Kingdom stressed that these attacks threaten maritime security and freedom of navigation. The statement also condemned Iran's continued hostile attacks targeting Kuwait, Bahrain, Qatar, the United Arab Emirates, Oman, and Jordan. The Kingdom reiterated its categorical rejection of Iran's violations of the sovereignty of these brotherly states and its continued actions that threaten the security and stability of the region.

North Korea vows boost to nuclear buildup, military intelligence
SEOUL: North Korea will strengthen its nuclear force “both in quality and quantity” and expand the role of its military intelligence agency focused on South Korea, state media said Friday. Pyongyang is under widespread sanctions over its nuclear program, and the two Koreas remain technically at war as their 1950-53 conflict ended without a peace treaty. The announcement comes after North Korea has repeatedly spurned South Korean President Lee Jae Myung’s dovish overtures, labelling Seoul its “most hostile” enemy and declaring itself an “irreversible” nuclear state.
