NASA spokeswoman Bethany Stevens emphasized that without Trump’s direct involvement, the safe return of the astronauts would not have been possible, calling it a significant moment in U.S. space history.

US Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard acknowledged that mistakenly adding a journalist to a Signal chat discussing sensitive war plans was a “mistake.” Speaking before the House Intelligence Committee, she pledged to pursue intelligence community leakers aggressively. “Politically motivated leaks undermine our national security,” Gabbard wrote on X, citing recent leaks involving Israel-Iran and US-Russia relations. The revelation comes amid concerns over media disclosures, echoing Trump-era crackdowns on leaks. Gabbard emphasized that unauthorized classified information releases violate the law and will be strictly addressed.

A confidential US military chat on Signal was leaked when journalist Jeffrey Goldberg was mistakenly added. The Atlantic published the discussions, revealing attack plans on Yemen's Houthis. “No locations. No sources and methods. NO WAR PLANS,” said National Security Advisor Mike Waltz, downplaying the leak. President Trump called it “the only glitch in two months.” The March 15 airstrikes killed 53 people. Senior Democrats demanded a Justice Department probe, calling the breach “astonishingly poor judgment.” The Pentagon has not confirmed details. (PC: Reuters)

The panel also urged the U.S. government to designate India as a "country of particular concern" due to reported religious discrimination against minorities. India’s Ministry of External Affairs dismissed the claims as biased and politically motivated, arguing that the report misrepresents the nation’s religious and cultural diversity. The recommendation could impact U.S.-India diplomatic relations amid ongoing global security concerns. (PC: Reuters)

The EU says sanctions will not be lifted unless Russia withdraws from Ukraine. The ceasefire was discussed in Saudi Arabia, but both sides now argue over the details of the agreement. (PC: BBC)
