Former counter-terrorism head
investigated by FBI over alleged leaks
Sofia Ferreira Santos
Joe Kent is a long-time Trump supporter and decorated veteran of the US military
Joe Kent is under
investigation in connection with alleged leaks of classified information, with
sources telling CBS that the probe began before his departure as US National
Counterterrorism Center director.
Announcing his
resignation on Tuesday, Kent said he could not support the war in Iran "in
good conscience" and that the country "posed no imminent threat"
to the US - a claim the White House dismissed.
The BBC contacted
Kent for comment regarding the leaks allegation. The FBI declined to comment.

Hello from the FT newsroom on the third week of
the US and Israel’s war against Iran. With the Strait of Hormuz all but shut
and energy facilities across the Gulf under attack, one number continues to
dominate the headlines: the price of oil. Brent crude, the international oil
benchmark, hit $115 per barrel this morning as Iran retaliated against an
Israeli attack on its South Pars gasfield, the backbone of the Islamic
republic’s domestic energy system.
As our chief foreign affairs commentator Gideon
Rachman writes, “a conflict with Iran that started with vague war aims now has
one clear and overriding objective: reopen the Strait of Hormuz”. US President Donald
Trump wants Nato and — extraordinarily — China’s help to do that. Neither seems
willing. In the meantime, shipping customers are stuck in a “wild
west”.

How China Is Quietly Helping an Isolated Iran SurviveThe Wall Street Journal (Gift Link) China is a longstanding friend of Iran that has helped sustain the Islamic Republic through decades of sanctions and international isolation. Since the U.S. and Israeli militaries began striking Iran late last month, Beijing has offered Tehran limited public support, condemning the killing of the Iranian leadership while calling on all sides to stop fighting. But its longstanding support for Iran could grow increasingly critical as the war continues. |

Connectivity Under Fire: The Critical Need for Satcom Terminal Survivability
In contested and denied environments, beyond-line-of-sight
connectivity is often the only remaining link for command and control,
mission execution, and safety-of-life communications. For U.S. military
platforms operating at the tactical edge, satcom terminals have evolved
from utility equipment into high-value targets. Adversaries actively
seek to disrupt them through electronic attacks, cyber intrusions,
electromagnetic weapons, and physical kinetic threats. When those
terminals fail, missions fail.
Despite this, satcom survivability is often still framed as a matter of "uptime" or availability under nominal conditions. In the modern battlespace, survivability is far more demanding. A terminal must continue performing its required functions during…[continued]
