- First up—the United States downs an Iranian drone in international waters, marking the first direct kinetic encounter in what could be a new and far more dangerous phase with Tehran. Retired Rear Admiral Mike Studeman, former commander of the Office of Naval Intelligence, joins us to break down what happened and why this moment matters.
- Later in the show—China’s military faces fresh upheaval as Xi Jinping expands his purge of senior officers, tightening his grip amid growing unease inside the People’s Liberation Army. Jan Jekielek, senior editor of The Epoch Times, stops by to explain what’s driving the purge and what it reveals about power struggles at the top in Beijing.
