🇧🇷🚩🇮🇱☄️ — DIPLOMATIC CRISIS: The Israeli Ambassador to Brazil, Daniel Zonshine, said that Hezbollah planned an attack on Jewish entities on Brazilian soil due to having supporters in the country; Brazil's federal police deny the accusations and accuse the ambassador of causing trouble
‼️ "The Hezbollah's interest anywhere in the world is to kill Jews. If they chose Brazil, it's because there are people who help them," said Zonshine, citing the Triple Frontier (between Brazil, Argentina, and Paraguay) as a region where there are supporters of the Lebanese group.
⌛️ The ambassador recalled the attack on the AMIA (Argentine Israelite Mutual Association) in Buenos Aires, which killed 85 people in 1994. In 2006, the Argentine Prosecutor's Office formally accused the Iranian regime and Hezbollah of the attack. "Hezbollah was going to do in Brazil what it did in Argentina. The group is funded by Iran and drug trafficking, mainly," said Zonshine.
⚠️ However, the Director-General of the Federal Police (PF), Andrei Passos Rodrigues, said that the statements made by the Israeli Ambassador to Brazil, Daniel Zonshine, caused "discomfort" in the institution.
"It was a negative surprise since there are historical relations between Brazil and Israel. I completely repudiate it. (...) It causes discomfort the way a technical job [of the PF] is being exploited, which has only the Constitution of Brazil and Brazilian laws as benchmarks."

⚡️🇺🇸 Some more things coming out for the 2026 National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA).
Under the preliminary drafts of the bill, the USAF is requesting a release of $57,000,000 USD ($57.0 Million) to retire all remaining 162 A-10 Thunderbolt IIs in current service. Apart of the 2023 NDAA, there was a clause for a few million dollars to be released every so often to gradually retire the (then) 250 airframes by 2034; however due to the push by the Dept of Defense to ‘shed’ obsolete or obsolescent airframes that cannot be overhauled or upgraded further without a whole new airframe, it appears the USAF wants to retire all 162 remaining A-10s by the end of 2026.
The USAF plans to fully divest the 340-total remaining A-10s entirely, including those that currently serve in a handful of Air National Guard units in some states; which will be replaced by F-15EX Eagle IIs (like what is already happening with the Michigan State Air National Guard’s A-10s), or F-35A/Bs.
