I just want to leave this here.
@connorstringer and I reported US-Israeli planning for a land blockade of Iran on July 31.

This is pretty wild: From a jail in New York, a commander of an Iranian terrorist proxy group helped direct a failed plot to attack RAF Fairford — a key UK air force base used by the US to execute the war with Iran, federal prosecutors allege in a new indictment.
The man, Mohammad Dawood Al-Saadi, a duel Iranian and Iraqi citizen, is accused of using coded messages in calls to his family to give instructions to two other people who attempted to help carry out the attack on the base, where US B-1 bombers were stationed.

NEW: Thirteen US states have threatened economic retaliation against Britain over its sanctions on Israeli settlers.
British firms could be barred from lucrative US government contracts, face investment boycotts and potentially wider trade reprisals.
In a letter to Britain's ambassador in Washington, the 13 Republican AGs accuse the UK of advancing the objectives of Hamas and Hezbollah.
The warning threatens a fresh transatlantic trade row just as London and Washington try to tear down barriers to commerce.

***EXCLUSIVE***
Gianni Infantino could be hauled before Congress within weeks.
Democrats are preparing to escalate their investigation into FIFA’s ties to Donald Trump, with congressional subpoenas potentially issued as early as January.
Jamie Raskin, who is in line to chair the powerful House Judiciary Committee, is examining fresh allegations involving Infantino, including revelations that he asked a FIFA intermediary to help secure a work permit for a maid at his luxury Miami home. FIFA denies wrongdoing.
A committee source tells @Telegraph all investigative options are very much on the table”.

The U.S. evacuated American aircraft from a Royal Air Force base in England on Monday in the wake of a threat from Iran.
The precise nature of the threat to RAF Mildenhall—whether imminent or more general—remains under discussion among U.S. officials.
Two big takeaways from this
— Trump believes Jensen that he had no idea his lover was an alleged Chinese spy
— He may have been briefed much sooner than we believe and was unbothered by the intelligence assessment.
🚨NOW at the White House — Donald Trump walks out for an impromptu press conference alongside Dana White.
He says he does not think it is ‘necessary’ to take any military action against Iran.
UPDATE — Two individuals arrested. One jumped the barrier at Lafayette square and was swiftly detained.

Great reporting by @nytimes. The US Commerce Dept was approving sales of Nvidia chips to companies in China which either did not exist, were on the sanctions list, and/or had ties to China's military. A brief visit by journalists in China found that two of the offices were just empty shells.
Was Jensen Huang a "victim" of a honey trap or was he just trying to make as much money as possible? Was his $25 million donation to Trump's ballroom the price of pay to play? In the US - China tech competition, has the Commerce Dept been co-opted by other interests? Here is a gift article which raises deeply troubling questions.

The incident appears to have passed, with the White House lockdown now lifted. Reporters are being allowed out of the briefing room again.
Still awaiting official details on exactly what happened.
Here’s what we tbink has caused the White House to lock down. Individual appears to have driven their car into Lafayette square then fought with secret service.
Very unwise.
NOW at the White House — press corps has been ordered inside by the secret service as part of some kind of lockdown. Not clear why or what the threat is.
Separate videos suggest a car has rammed into the north end of Lafayette Square Park and then fought with Secret Service and National Guard.
As I reported earlier this week, there was no sign off, just a heads up it was coming.

It’s been brought to my attention by a WH official that President Trump was actually blindsided by the statement made about the Iran war the day after the election.
He didn’t approve the statement and no, he wasn’t happy about it, despite how it’s being presented to the public.
I’m told he was quite angry about it.
It’s very interesting how there’s an entire ecosystem of people who have been brought in to force you to believe he approves of a statement that undermines his agenda.
I don’t think it’s the last we will hear of it.
