U.S. War Secretary Pete Hegseth made a secret, unannounced trip to Israel to meet Netanyahu at a desert air base, and a day later Britain ordered RAF Typhoon fighter jets to fly defensive missions over Saudi Arabia against Houthi drones and missiles. Former F-15E Strike Eagle combat pilot and Thunderbird pilot Max Afterburner explains what the visit signals to Iran and how defensive counter-air actually works, from radar cueing and tankers to the missile shot. We also cover the IRGC’s unconfirmed claim that its mines set two tankers on fire in the Strait of Hormuz, Russia’s latest strikes on Ukraine during the Oslo talks, and NATO’s push to change its drone shootdown rules. Iran says it is ready if attacked again, and no U.S. decision on new strikes has been announced.
