President Donald Trump is holding a meeting with his national security team today. Defense Secretary Hegseth called the U.S. air strikes on Iran’s nuclear facilities the weekend an “overwhelming success.” He stated, “The order we received from our Commander-in-Chief was focused; it was powerful, and it was clear. We devastated the Iranian nuclear program, but it’s worth noting the operation did not target Iranian troops or the Iranian people.“
The defense secretary added, “For the entirety of his time office, President Trump has consistently stated for over 10 years that Iran must not get a nuclear weapon. Full stop. Thanks to President Trump‘s bold and visionary leadership and his commitment to peace through strength, Iran’s nuclear ambitions have been obliterated.“
Attorney General Pamela Bondi will testify on Capitol Hill today on the Fiscal Year 2026 budget for the Department of Justice. She will appear before the House Appropriations Committee’s Subcommittee on Commerce, Justice, Science, and Related Agencies, chaired by Representative Hal Rogers of Kentucky.
Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy is giving the commencement speech at the U.S. Merchant Marine Academy today. The Transportation Department stated, “With 95 percent of the world’s products transported over water, these leaders are vital to the effective operation of our merchant fleet for both commercial and military transport in peace and war.“
