Trump Honors 81st Anniversary Of Guam's Liberation From Japan
President Donald Trump marked the 81st anniversary of Guam's liberation from Japanese occupation with a message honoring the American forces who reclaimed the Pacific territory on July 21, 1944. The Presidential statement emphasized America's continued commitment to defending its territories and interests through military strength. 'As Imperial Japanese forces tried to hold their ground, they struggled to withstand the full might of the U.S. Armed Forces,' Trump said in his White House message. The battle for Guam lasted three weeks across challenging terrain. American forces fought through jungles, caves, and rugged hills to regain control of the strategically vital island. The victory positioned U.S. forces within striking distance of ending the war in the Pacific. The liberation came at a steep cost. More than 1,200 service members and over 1,000 Guam residents died during the campaign. Trump characterized the 1944 victory as 'a bold reassertion of American sovereignty at a time when our future and our freedom were in peril.' 'Under my leadership, the United States remains committed to upholding a foreign policy of peace through strength,' the president stated. He pledged that America would 'never waver in defending our interests, our citizens, our territory, and our glorious way of life from all enemies, foreign and domestic.' The liberation ended nearly three years of Japanese occupation that began December 10, 1941. Guam served as a crucial base for subsequent American operations in the Pacific theater.

According to the post, the impersonating profiles included fake accounts posing as Iranian Armed Forces handles and others pretending to represent Iranian government ministries. Live Events Among the false claims circulated, one post alleged that Iran was reconsidering the Chabahar port agreement with India because US B-2 bombers had supposedly used Indian airspace for strikes on Iran. "Iran is reconsidering its Chabahar port agreement with India following revelations that US B-2 bombers used Indian airspace for strikes on Iran," it read.

Kyiv seeks clarity as US halts some weapons shipments to Ukraine
The United States has paused shipments of certain military munitions to Ukraine, citing a Pentagon review of foreign military assistance. The move, originally disclosed by the White House on Tuesday, has prompted concern in Kyiv and a welcoming response from Moscow. White House Deputy Press Secretary Anna Kelly said the Pentagon decided to halt some arms transfers planned under former President Joe Biden's administration in order to prioritize US interests. 'The strength of the US Armed Forces is unquestionable—ask Iran,' she said, referencing the June strikes on Iranian nuclear sites. Kyiv said Wednesday it was working to obtain more details. 'We are clarifying the situation. I think that everything will be clarified in the coming days,' said presidential aide Dmytro Lytvyn. Ukraine also summoned a US diplomat to stress the "critical importance" of continued American military support in defending against Russia's invasion. The Kremlin quickly responded, saying the reduction in US arms deliveries would help end the war sooner. 'The fewer the number of weapons delivered to Ukraine, the closer the end of the special military operation,' said Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov, using Moscow's term for the war now in its fourth year. The development comes just days after President Donald Trump met with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy during the NATO summit in The Hague, where Kyiv requested Patriot missile systems. Trump responded cautiously: 'We'll see if we can provide some. We need them too.' Since the start of the war in February 2022, the US has provided Ukraine with over USD66 billion in weapons and military assistance, according to the Associated Press.

I have saved him from a very ugly and ignominious death: Trump questions Iran Supreme Leader Ayatollah Khamenei declaring victory
Live Events (You can now subscribe to our (You can now subscribe to our Economic Times WhatsApp channel US President Donald Trump on Friday claimed to have saved Iran Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei's life and questioned him declaring victory against further claimed that Iran's nuclear cites were obliterated and that he knew where the Supreme Leader took shelter but did not allow Israel and the US Armed Forces to take his life."Why would the so-called 'Supreme Leader,' Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, of the war torn Country of Iran, say so blatantly and foolishly that he won the War with Israel, when he knows his statement is a lie, it is not so. As a man of great faith, he is not supposed to lie. His Country was decimated, his three evil Nuclear Sites were OBLITERATED, and I knew EXACTLY where he was sheltered, and would not let Israel, or the U.S. Armed Forces, by far the Greatest and Most Powerful in the World, terminate his life. I SAVED HIM FROM A VERY UGLY AND IGNOMINIOUS DEATH, and he does not have to say, 'THANK YOU, PRESIDENT TRUMP!' Trump wrote on Truth US president said that he demanded Israel bring back its planes which were "looking for a big day". Trump also claimed that a lot of Iranians would have been added that he was working on on the possible removal of sanctions, and other things, which would have given a much better chance to Iran at a full, fast, and complete recovery, claiming that the sanctions were biting the worn-torn nation. He said that he dropped all work of sanction relief because he got all the hatred and anger."In fact, in the final act of the War, I demanded that Israel bring back a very large group of planes, which were heading directly to Tehran, looking for a big day, perhaps the final knockout! Tremendous damage would have ensued, and many Iranians would have been killed. It was going to be the biggest attack of the War, by far. During the last few days, I was working on the possible removal of sanctions, and other things, which would have given a much better chance to Iran at a full, fast, and complete recovery - The sanctions are BITING! But no, instead I get hit with a statement of anger, hatred, and disgust, and immediately dropped all work on sanction relief, and more. Iran has to get back into the World Order flow, or things will only get worse for them."Trump further claimed that Iran was a burned up, torn country with now future, a weak military and poor economy, adding that they have no hope."They are always so angry, hostile, and unhappy, and look at what it has gotten them - A burned out, blown up Country, with no future, a decimated Military, a horrible Economy, and DEATH all around them. They have no hope, and it will only get worse! I wish the leadership of Iran would realize that you often get more with HONEY than you do with VINEGAR. PEACE!!!"
