    U.S. Strikes Three Iranian Oil Tankers After IRGC Missile Attack

    U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) forces struck and disabled three Iranian oil tankers on September 5, following an unprovoked missile attack by the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) on two U.S. Navy warships. The targeted tankers, M/T Downy, M/T Stark 1, and M/T Kylo (also known as 'Noxen'), were part of a multi-billion-dollar shadow network funding the IRGC and its regional proxies. Admiral Brad Cooper, CENTCOM commander, warned Iran that further attacks on U.S. ships would result in even greater economic costs.

    U.S. Uses Nvidia Chip Access to Broker Armenia-Azerbaijan Peace Deal

    U.S. negotiators leveraged the promise of access to Nvidia's AI chips to secure a preliminary peace deal between Armenia and Azerbaijan. The deal, facilitated by the Trump administration, involved offering Armenia export approvals for tens of thousands of Nvidia processors tied to the $5 billion Firebird data-center project, providing significant economic benefits to Armenia's Prime Minister Pashinyan. This move is an example of 'chip diplomacy' by the U.S., using access to scarce American AI technology to advance foreign-policy goals.

    A new report reveals that the foreign-born population in the U.S. has decreased by nearly 3 million since President Trump took office, marking the largest decline in decades. The drop includes roughly 2.3 million illegal aliens who have either left voluntarily or been deported, along with an estimated 600,000 fewer legal immigrants. This significant decrease is attributed to the Trump administration's immigration policies, including increased enforcement and border security.
