The US Army: Fighting two drones in Houthi areas
it's 4 o clock: The US military said it successfully confronted two drones in areas controlled by Houthi rebels in Yemen on Tuesday. US Central Command (Centcom), the US military's regional command responsible for the Middle East, says no damage or casualties have been reported from US naval vessels, coalition forces or commercial vessels.
The Iran-backed Houthi rebels have repeatedly attacked ships in the Red Sea and the neighboring Gulf of Aden, which they claim are linked to Israel. The Houthis have declared their solidarity with Hamas in the Gaza Strip, and, like them and the Hezbollah militia in Lebanon, they belong to the so-called resistance axis led by Iran.
The US government also announced new sanctions on Iran
2:34 AM: After the Iranian attack on Israel, the United States will impose new sanctions on Iran. This was announced by US President Joe Biden's security advisor, Jake Sullivan, on Tuesday evening (local time) in Washington. The sanctions are therefore directed against the Islamic Republic's missile and drone program, against supporters of the Iranian Revolutionary Guard, and against the Iranian Ministry of Defense.
The statement said that the steps will be coordinated with allies and allies, including the G7 countries, as well as with Democratic and Republican leaders in the US Congress. The Pentagon and US Regional Command Centcom continued to work to enhance defense capabilities in the region.
Iran attacked Israel on Sunday night with hundreds of drones, missiles and cruise missiles, but almost all of them were intercepted — also thanks to support from the US military. The attack was in response to an Israeli-led airstrike on the Iranian embassy compound in Damascus, killing two influential Revolutionary Guard generals earlier this month.
The British Prime Minister calls on Netanyahu to calm down
12:10 AM: After the first direct Iranian attack on Israel, British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak appealed to his Israeli counterpart, Benjamin Netanyahu, to “remain calm.” Escalation is in no one's interest and will only increase uncertainty in the Middle East, Sunak said in a phone call with Netanyahu on Tuesday, according to Sunak's office. Sunak stressed that this is the moment when “wisdom must prevail”.
Sunak also stressed Britain's „steadfast support for Israel's security and stability in the region.” He added, „The Prime Minister said that Iran has made a severe miscalculation and has become increasingly isolated on the world stage, and the G7 is now coordinating a diplomatic response.”
Sunak also expressed concern about the humanitarian situation in the Gaza Strip and called on Israel to open additional roads as quickly as possible so that residents can be provided with relief supplies.

Donald Trump demands Joe Biden take a drug test before debate
The two alleged contenders for the position of US President agreed on a date for a television debate. Now Trump is making a new request.
Former US President Donald Trump called on current President Joe Biden to submit to a drug test before their duel on Monday in a television debate for the first time during the election campaign at the end of June. „I don’t want him to get there like he did in the State of the Union address,” Trump said during a Republican Party event in St. Paul, Minnesota. „He was as high as a kite.”
Trump has previously indicated several times in interviews that the US President was under the influence of substances on various occasions. He previously made similar accusations against his rival, Hillary Clinton, during the 2016 election campaign. Trump has not yet provided any evidence for his allegations. Biden has not yet commented on Trump’s allegations.
Ahead of the US presidential election in November, President Joe Biden and his rival Donald Trump want to compete against each other in two televised debates. Biden challenged Trump to two televised duels on Wednesday, and he immediately accepted the challenge. The American CNN network said that the first debate will take place on June 27 in Atlanta, Georgia. The two competitors also agreed on a second date on September 10.

Supreme Court Justice Alito causes a stir with his knowledge
He presses
Trump fans are using the upside-down American flag to cast doubt on Biden’s election victory. It can also be seen in front of the judge’s house.
WASHINGTON, D.C. – Conservative Justice Samuel Alito of the U.S. Supreme Court is in trouble. After Donald Trump’s election defeat in 2020, an upside-down American flag was apparently hung in front of his house – a popular symbol among Trump supporters to cast doubt on US President Joe Biden’s election victory.
Report from The New York Times According to the report, the flag was raised in front of Alito’s home in Alexandria, Virginia, on January 17, 2021. The newspaper wrote this, citing statements and photos from the judge’s neighbors. However, the accused denies having anything to do with the matter. “I was in no way involved in raising the flag,” Alito said in an emailed statement to the newspaper. Instead, according to the judge, his wife raised the upside-down flag. But not just „in response to a neighbor’s use of offensive and personally insulting language on yard signs.”
A pro-Trump symbol in front of the judge’s house? Allegations against Supreme Court judges
The matter is explosive because the upside-down American flag was a symbol of Trump supporters who falsely claimed in the wake of the recent election that President Biden stole the office. During the storming of the Capitol Building in Washington, D.C. on January 6, 2021, the upside-down flag was also raised several times by rioters. Biden’s inauguration was just three days away at this point. Just eleven days later, a Trump supporter’s slogan flew over the lawn of a top federal judge.
In this context, it is the duty of such an official to ensure that no misunderstandings occur, as do legal and ethicists. The New York Times He confirmed the opposite. Even the appearance of bias should be avoided, otherwise the impartiality of the judge may be called into question. The mere impression of a political opinion can be a problem. “It could be his wife or someone else living in his house, but it shouldn’t be in his yard as a message to the world,” law professor Amanda Frost said in the report.
Wife in neighborhood dispute – Commitment to Donald Trump despite being a judge?
Raising that license plate, Frost continued, „is the equivalent of putting up a 'Stop the Steal’ sign in the yard.” This slogan – in German „Stop the steal” – was the slogan of those people who stormed the Capitol for their former president. According to the legal expert, the matter becomes a problem at the latest when it comes to the property of the judge who decides “cases related to the elections.” While the flag was raised, the court was still grappling with the question of whether allegations of voter fraud in the 2020 US election should be investigated. Alito argued in favor of hearing the arguments, but was ultimately on the losing side.
In fact, according to the article, interviews with residents revealed that the justice’s wife, Martha Ann Alito, had gotten into a fight with another family in the neighborhood over an anti-Trump sign on their lawn. However, given the timing and strong meaning of the symbol, the upside-down flag could have been interpreted by neighbors primarily as a political statement by the couple.
Political labels taboo on Supreme Court: Is Trump’s judge unfit for office?
The Code of Ethics applicable to lower courts in the United States, as well as the Code of Ethics recently adopted by the Supreme Court, emphasize the need for judges to remain independent. Political statements or opinions on matters that may be brought before them should be avoided. Court officials are not permitted to publicly express their partisan political opinions. This also includes attaching signs or vehicle stickers.
For Take Back the Court, a group that opposes the conservative path the court has taken in recent years, this is evidence that Alito does not belong on the court. “Sam Alito has disqualified himself from legitimately serving on the Supreme Court,” Sarah Lipton Lubit, the group’s president, said, according to the website. HuffPost In the current situation. Perhaps there is nothing like raising the middle finger to the American people than “proudly displaying, in your front yard, the remains of a failed coup attempt against the country you were supposed to serve.” (Tn)
