The report claimed that countries such as Greece, Lithuania, Poland, and Romania could see an increased American military footprint as a result of their supportive stance over the past month. Conversely, countries such as Germany and Spain were cited as potentially losing U.S. resources due to their responses to the Iran conflict.

Spain has come under particular scrutiny over the past month, with Socialist Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez styling himself as the war’s top critic in Europe, initially refusing to allow the U.S. Military to access Spanish bases to launch Iranian operations, and later barring American Air Force planes from travelling through the nation’s airspace towards the Middle East.

This came on an already fractured relationship, with the leftist government in Madrid becoming the only NATO ally in Europe last year to refuse President Trump’s call to increase defence spending to five per cent of GDP. Even prior to that, Spain has long been among the delinquent nations that have failed to meet even 2 per cent of GDP in defense spending.

NATO Boss: World is ‘Absolutely’ Safer Because Trump Stopped Iran Having Its Nuclear ‘North Korea Moment’

The world avoided Iran having its own “North Korea moment” where endless diplomacy and talks took so long it gave Pyongyang time to build a nuclear bomb, and the world is safer now than it was five weeks ago, Mark Rutte said.

The world is “absolutely” safer now than it was five weeks ago because the United States took the initiative to “degrade” Iran’s nuclear and ballistic missile capabilities the Secretary General of NATO Mark Rutte said on Wednesday after meetings with President Donald Trump.

Speaking to CNN, the former Dutch Prime Minister turned alliance chief acknowledged that President Trump is “he is clearly disappointed with many NATO allies, and I can see his point” but emphasised that the “large majority of NATO allies have been helpful with logistics, basing, overflights” for Operation Epic Fury and NATO as a whole understands the importance of preventing Iran from becoming nuclear.

Challenged by the CNN host on whether it wouldn’t have been better to prevent an Iranian nuclear bomb with diplomacy rather than strikes, Rutte compared the situation with North Korea where years of talks dragged on so long, Pyongyang eventually succeeded in getting its own nuclear bomb before the international community could figure out what to do about it. He said of NATO backing Trump preventing the same thing happening with Iran:

“NATO allies are with him when it comes to the aims of taking out… degrading the nuclear and the ballistic missile capacity of the Iranians… we run the risk that this leads you to the North Korea moment where you talk so long, at a certain moment it’s beyond the point where you can still get this done, because then they would get their hands on the nuclear capacity… I support the President and I know large parts of Europe do when it comes to taking out the capacity of Iran to export chaos to the region, to Europe, to the whole world.”

Trump Vows U.S. Forces Will Stay Near Iran Until ‘Real Agreement’ Is Reached as ‘Next Conquest’ Awaits

All U.S. forces now deployed near Iran will remain stationed in the area until a “real agreement” is reached with Tehran, President Donald Trump vowed late Wednesday night, as Washington enters a fragile two-week ceasefire and prepares for its “next conquest.”

Trump used social media to say U.S. forces including troops, aircraft and naval assets would stay in position until what he described as the “REAL AGREEMENT” is fully implemented in the wake of Operation Epic Fury which swept across the region.

“All US ships, aircraft, and military personnel … will remain in place in, and around, Iran, until such time as the REAL AGREEMENT reached is fully complied with,” Trump wrote on Truth Social.

“If for any reason it is not … the ‘Shootin’ Starts,′ bigger, and better, and stronger than anyone has ever seen before.”

Minnesota fraud scandal: Sixth family member who met with AG Ellison set to plead guilty

Yet another member of a family within Minnesota’s Somali community is expected to plead guilty Thursday in the massive fraud scandal that has drawn national attention and prompted criticism of Attorney General Keith Ellison over a meeting he held with members of the family in question.

Gandi Mohamed, 45, is expected to either plead guilty at a change of plea hearing scheduled for Thursday or choose to enter a plea of no contest, which would allow him to accept conviction and be sentenced without admitting guilt, according to court records.

Mohamed is the sixth member of his family who would be pleading guilty in the scheme prosecutors say fraudulently claimed to be serving meals while instead pocketing $14 million from the federal child nutrition program

The Mohamed family was present at the now infamous 2021 meeting between Ellison and members of the Somali community where would-be fraudsters could be heard asking the state’s attorney general to help them secure more funding, before the conversation turned to campaign donations.

“The only way that we can protect what we have is by inserting ourselves into the political arena. Putting our votes where it needs to be. But most importantly, putting our dollars in the right place. And supporting candidates that will fight to protect our interests,” one of the Somali community members says in the recording.

“That’s right,” Ellison responds.

Ellison has denied any wrongdoing regarding the recording, saying he was completely unaware of the fraudsters' crimes at the time of the meeting. The meeting occurred before any convictions in the case and before President Joe Biden’s Department of Justice had indicted anyone.

“I took a meeting in good faith with people I didn’t know and some turned out to have done bad things. I did nothing for them and took nothing from them,” Ellison wrote in an April 2025 op-ed for the Minnesota Star Tribune.

Following that meeting, Gandi gave the maximum $2,500 campaign donation to Ellison that the attorney general returned to the Department of Justice in 2025.

Fetterman breaks with Democrats, says Trump’s military strikes on Iran have ‘made the world safer’

John Fetterman said Wednesday that President Donald Trump’s recent military actions in Iran have “made the world safer,” offering a stark contrast to criticism from other Democratic lawmakers.

“Usually, the Iranians only respond [to] power . . .” Fetterman told “Hannity.”

“Now it might force them to continue more kinds of military strikes, but remind everyone, their nuclear ambitions have been severely damaged at this point. The Israelis have killed many, many of the scientists and [destroyed] a lot of those [nuclear] facilities as well, too.”

“Every single thing Iran has done is an entire war crime. Now, we are the force of good in the world,” he said.

Fetterman also pushed back on Democrats’ calls for a new war powers vote, arguing it would undermine the ongoing mission.

“We’re not even 40 days into this and, now, I’m reading that they have to force another war powers vote, and I will vote against that now, because we have to stand [behind] our military to allow them to accomplish, you know, the goals of Epic Fury.”
