The United States is seriously considering withdrawing from NATO after allies failed to support Washington in the war with Iran.
According to Trump, the decision is essentially already formed. He stressed that the U.S. should not be solely responsible for Europe’s security.
“NATO never inspired confidence in me. I always knew it was a ‘paper tiger,’ and Putin knows it too,” the U.S. president said.
Trump also claimed that Iran has requested a ceasefire. Washington is ready to discuss it, but only after the Strait of Hormuz is reopened.

The U.S. Air Force operates 16 E-3Gs, with around 40-50% of aircraft currently deployed to the Middle East for Operation Epic Fury. Productions lines for the E-3 were ceased in the 1990s, while the first airframe was retired in 2023 in preparation for the E-3 to be replaced by the E-7 Wedgetail in 2027, however, in June 2025 the Pentagon announced the cancelation of the E-7 in favour of space-based solutions, including the proposed Golden Dome, and the E-2D Advanced Hawkeye.

Pictures show the total loss of 81-0005, an E-3G “Sentry” Airborne Early Warning and Control (AEW&C) Aircraft with the U.S. Air Force’s 552nd Air Control Wing based out of Tinker Air Force Base, Oklahoma, following yesterday’s Iranian ballistic missile and drone attack on Prince Sultan Air Base in Saudi Arabia. The strike appears to have purposefully targeted the most important part of the E-3, that being rear of the aircraft which holds its rotating radar dome, containing several sensitive instruments including antennas for the E-3’s AN/APY-2 Surveillance Radar System.

The Pentagon just briefed Trump on the most complex military operation in American history
The plan: fly hundreds of troops deep into Iran, parachute in the 82nd Airborne to secure the perimeter, build a runway from scratch, bring in heavy excavation equipment to blast through 300 feet of rubble, send Delta Force and SEALs in wearing hazmat suits with blow torches and saws to breach underground tunnels, locate and extract 1,000 pounds of uranium in sealed cylinders while checking for booby traps and decoys, decontaminate everything, then airlift it all out through hostile airspace.
Timeline: weeks to months.
Under constant missile and drone fire.
With only a few dozen troops in the entire military trained to handle nuclear material retrieval.
A former defense official put it perfectly:
"It starts to look like you're not just buying a car on the lot, you're buying the entire assembly line."
Yesterday Trump told Reuters he doesn't care about the uranium anymore because "it's so far underground."
Today the Pentagon reportedly briefed him a plan to go get it.

Trump pushes “pay or stay silent” overhaul of NATO
The U.S. president is preparing tough changes to NATO after allies refused to back Washington in its confrontation with Iran near the Strait of Hormuz.
Among the proposals are limiting voting rights for countries that spend less than 5% of GDP on defense, and potentially stripping them of U.S. protection.
Trump is also again considering withdrawing troops from Germany.
⚡️The mobilization age in Iran has been lowered to 12 years, — Alarabiya
Children are being mobilized to guard checkpoints and patrol cities. Boys are given Uzi and Kalashnikov automatic weapons for this purpose.
The Pentagon is preparing for weeks of ground operations in Iran, U.S. officials tell the Washington Post, as thousands of American soldiers and Marines arrive in the Middle East for what could become a dangerous new phase of the Iran War, exposing U.S. personnel to an array of threats, including Iranian drones and missiles, ground fire and improvised explosive, should the decision to escalate by made by President Donald J. Trump.
Any potential ground operation would fall short of a full-scale invasion and could instead involve raids by a mixture of Special Operations forces and conventional infantry troops, said the officials. Options include the possible seizure of Kharg Island, a key Iranian oil export hub in the Persian Gulf, and raids into other coastal areas near the Strait of Hormuz to find and destroy weapons that can target commercial and military shipping, with one official setting the potential timeline at “a couple of months.”
European allies say Russia is helping Iran more than the U.S. has publicly acknowledged, sources say.
