Netanyahu Meets Trump on Iran
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu arrives at the White House today for high-stakes talks with President Trump centered on Iran’s nuclear program.
Netanyahu, who met last night with Trump envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner, wants any U.S.-Iran deal to include limits on Tehran’s ballistic missiles — not just nuclear restrictions.
Trump told Fox Business that Iran wants to make a deal, warning: “We took out their nuclear power last time, and we’ll have to see if we take out more this time.”
The meeting is their seventh since Trump’s second term began, with Iran and Gaza topping the agenda.★★★
Cartel Drones Breach U.S. Airspace
Mexican cartel drones breached American airspace near El Paso, triggering a stunning overnight shutdown of the city’s international airport.
The FAA grounded all flights — commercial, cargo, and general aviation — for what was supposed to be 10 days, warning that violators could face “deadly force.”
The Department of War shot down the drones, and the FAA lifted restrictions on Wednesday morning. Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy confirmed the FAA and military “acted swiftly to address a cartel drone incursion.” Local officials slammed Washington’s failure to communicate before the unprecedented lockdown.★★★
Grand Jury Rejects “Seditious Six”
A federal grand jury refused to indict six Democratic lawmakers who urged military members to “refuse illegal orders” in a video that enraged President Trump.
The DOJ investigation targeted Sens. Mark Kelly and Elissa Slotkin and four House Democrats — all military or intelligence veterans. Trump had called their November video “seditious behavior, punishable by death.”
The declination marks the latest grand jury rebuke of the administration’s attempts to prosecute political opponents. House Speaker Mike Johnson responded that the lawmakers “probably should be indicted” regardless.
