Danny Haiphong is joined by Mark Sleboda and Stanislav Krapivnik. He says sirens sounded at three RAF bases, including Lakenheath, after suspected drones, while the Mossad chief met Trump and Netanyahu keeps pressing to restart the war on Iran.
Sleboda says Washington is still moving between bad options, with limited stocks of Tomahawks and JASSMs. The Theodore Roosevelt is due within a few days.

Stanislav Krapivnik with Danny Haiphong on Russia and North Korea intensifying a joint offensive, and on Ukraine's alarm over a war between Putin's military and Europe as a new front opens.
Stanislav Krapivnik is a former U.S. Army officer from Donbas.
Ukraine's front is buckling as Russian forces close cauldrons around Dobropillya, Orikhiv and Kharkiv Oblast while tightening the pincer on Sloviansk and Kramatorsk. Stanislav Krapivnik breaks down the Third Corps counteroffensive at Lyman, how the rainy season and Russia's Arena defense system blunt the drone wall, why Moscow now sees Trump's diplomacy as a lost year, and what Iran's strikes on US bases mean for the Strait of Hormuz. With the EU facing diesel and food shortages and Kyiv running out of men, how much longer can the front hold?
