  • Siamak Namazi was not included in the prisoner swap with Iran in January 2016 that led to the release of Jason Rezaian, Amir Hekmati and Saeed Abedini. A National Security Council spokesperson said the Biden administration remains committed to securing the freedom of Namazi. The US does not have diplomatic relations with Iran, though it has called on the government there to release the detained Americans.
  • From ransomware groups targeting critical infrastructure to facilitators of sanctions evasion, these criminal actors embolden our enemies and threaten our national security. All too often, they seek refuge in countries they believe will protect and empower them. While they may think they are out of reach, our agents and prosecutors are uniquely equipped to combat this double threat.
  • Abrahams Ax is perhaps the latest in a string of state-backed hacking groups to emerge in the region. The U.S. and Saudi governments accused Tehran of backing a drone attack on Saudi oil infrastructure carried out by the Houthi rebels in Yemen.

Russia claims capture of Soledar as Pentagon says Putin undeterred by heavy battlefield losses. If true, it would mark its first battlefield success in months and improve its chances of encircling the nearby city of Bakhmut, the latest symbol of Ukraine's tenacious resistance. Ukraine denies Russias claim of control, and at the Pentagon, spokesman Brig. Gen. Pat Ryder said the United States is keeping a close eye on the battle.

The concessions that were made to elect a new House speaker will clearly prove problematic. One is especially troublesome and should concern every American as our national security will be put at risk. A concession capping discretionary spending at fiscal 2022 levels could mean a possible $70 billion cut to defense. Such a concession will have global implications.

Two rockets struck a base housing American troops in eastern Syria on Wednesday without causing any human or material losses, the U.S. military said. The attack on Mission Support Site Conoco came as Iran and its allies in the region marked the third anniversary of the killing of Qassem Soleimani, a leading Iranian general and chief of the powerful Quds force. No one claimed responsibility for the attack, but Iran-backed militia are based nearby. The UK-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, an opposition war monitor, said the rockets were fired by Arab tribesmen.
