Trump nominates Erica Schwartz to serve as CDC Director

President Donald Trump has nominated Erica Schwartz, a former deputy surgeon general, to be the next director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. In a social media post, Trump described Schwartz as “incredibly talented” and said, “She is a STAR!” The Atlanta-based CDC, which is charged with protecting Americans from preventable health threats, has been in turmoil since Trump returned to office more than a year ago, with a succession of mostly temporary leaders. Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. says the new team the CDC is bringing in is “extraordinary.”

Over 10,000 US troops enforcing Iran blockade

More than 10,000 American troops are helping enforce the blockade on Iranian ports and 13 ships have turned around rather than confront the military action. Gen. Dan Caine, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, gave an update Thursday during a Pentagon press briefing. Caine said that so far, the Navy hasn't had to board any vessels seeking to run the blockade. He says any ships approaching the blockade are warned to turn back and that any vessels that refuse could be met with warning shots before being stopped and boarded.

U.S. Completes Withdrawal From Base In Syria As Part Of A Larger Drawdown

U.S. forces completed their withdrawal from Qasrak air base on Thursday when a final convoy of soldiers and equipment departed the site in Syria’s Hasakah province, officials for both sides said. The Syrian army has now taken full control of most military sites in the country where the U.S. military was once deployed. Syria's foreign ministry said in a statement that “the Syrian state’s restoration of sovereignty over areas that were outside its control, including the northeast and border regions, is the result of the Syrian government’s continuous efforts to unify the country within the framework of a single state.” It said that the U.S. withdrawal came as a result of the successful implementation of a deal between Syria's central government in Damascus and the Kurdish-led Syrian Democratic Forces — which had previously controlled much of northeast Syria — and of success in fighting the remnants of the Islamic State group. U.S. Central Command chief spokesperson Capt. Tim Hawkins confirmed the withdrawal. “U.S. forces have completed turning over all of our major bases in Syria, as part of a deliberate and conditions-based transition," Hawkins said, adding that the U.S. military will "continue to support partner-led counterterrorism efforts, which are essential to ensuring the enduring defeat of ISIS and strengthening regional security.” Convoys of trucks could be seen leaving the base Thursday, hauling military vehicles and equipment. U.S. forces began withdrawing from Qasrak in late February, in what appeared to be part of a larger drawdown of U.S. forces in Syria. Earlier that month, the U.S. military's Central Command and Syria’s defense ministry announced that U.S. troops had left the al-Tanf base in eastern Syria near the border with Jordan. The departure of U.S. forces from the bases came after the U.S. military completed the transfer of some 5,700 accused Islamic State militants from detention centers in northeast Syria to prisons in Iraq, where they will be put on trial. The main mission of the U.S. troops in Syria is to prevent a resurgence of IS. The extremist group lost control of the last territory it held in Syria in 2019 but its sleeper cells have continued to stage periodic attacks in Syria, Iraq and abroad.

U.S. Military Targets Iran-Linked Ships Worldwide, Beyond Blockade

The U.S. military has widened its efforts beyond the blockade of Iran’s ports. It is allowing its forces around the world to stop any ship tied to Tehran or those suspected of carrying supplies that could help its government. Gen. Dan Caine, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, said Thursday that the U.S. would be targeting vessels in other areas, like the Pacific, that had left before the blockade began earlier this week. The military also published a notice detailing an expansive lists of goods that it considers contraband, declaring that it will board, search and seize them from merchant vessels “regardless of location.”

House rejects effort to withdraw US forces from Iran War

The House has rejected a resolution requiring President Donald Trump to withdraw U.S. forces from the war with Iran unless Congress authorizes military action. The vote Thursday was the latest such attempt that fell short of passage as Republicans largely continue to support Trump’s operation. Democrats are concerned about the United States getting further entrenched in another lengthy Middle East conflict and are promising to keep raising the issue through more votes in the coming weeks. Republicans counter by noting that Congress never voted on a war powers resolution when the Biden administration attacked Iranian-backed Houthis.

Police investigate bomb threat at Chicago area home of Pope Leo's brother

Police on Thursday were investigating a bomb threat made to the Chicago-area home of Pope Leo's brother John Prevost after a search found no explosives or hazardous materials. A bomb threat was reported Wednesday evening at the home of John Prevost in New Lenox, Illinois, according to media outlets that cited police. Prevost lives on the same street cited as the location of the attack by police. New Lenox police did not return a call for comment on the report. The threat comes after President Donald Trump on Sunday attacked Pope Leo XIV, the first U.S. pope, over his criticism of the war in Iran. Leo is originally from Chicago. Police in New Lenox received the report of a bomb threat at a private residence on Wednesday evening and evacuated nearby homes as they searched the area. "After careful examination, investigators determined that the threat was unsubstantiated and that no explosive devices or hazardous materials were present," police said in a statement. The investigation was continuing in order to find the origin of the false report, they said. Leo leads the ?1.4 billion-member Church and has emerged as an outspoken critic of the war. In unusually forceful remarks in Cameroon on Thursday, Leo blasted leaders who spend billions on wars and said the world was "being ravaged by a handful of tyrants." While he criticized Leo as being too liberal and "weak on crime," Trump praised his brother Louis, of Florida, for his support for Trump's MAGA movement. John Prevost is another of the pope's older brothers.

Hegseth says military ready to strike Iran's power plants, energy industry if ordered

The U.S. naval blockade of Iran is just an example of "polite" behavior during the ongoing ceasefire and U.S. forces are ready to strike Iran's power plants and energy industry if ordered, U.S. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth said on Thursday. Standing alongside two of the U.S. military's most senior officers, Hegseth said Iran needs to choose wisely as it prepares for negotiations with the United States. "We are reloading with more power than ever before, and better intelligence," Hegseth said at a Pentagon news briefing. "We are locked and loaded on your critical dual-use infrastructure, on your remaining power generation, and on your energy industry. We'd rather not have to do it." President Donald Trump's administration expressed optimism on Wednesday about reaching a deal to end the Iran war, while also warning of increasing economic pressure against Iran if it remains defiant. That has included a blockade of Iran that went into effect on ?Monday, with the U.S. military forcing 14 ships to turn around. Dozens of U.S. warships and aircraft, including about 10,000 military personnel, are enforcing the blockade. Trump is hoping the effort will force Iran to accept U.S. terms ?for ending the war, which was launched by the U.S. and Israel on February 28, including opening up the Strait of Hormuz, a waterway through which roughly one fifth of global oil and gas exports ordinarily transits. Trump has said ?that was also a condition of the ceasefire due to expire next week. The war has resulted in the largest-ever disruption of global oil and gas supplies. Analysts have said that Iran can withstand a complete halt ?in oil exports of up to two months before being forced to curb production. Hegseth, in comments aimed at the Iranian leadership, said that the blockade "is the polite way that this can go." Admiral Brad Cooper, the head of U.S. Central Command, which oversees military operations in the Middle East, said the military was adjusting tactics, techniques and procedures, but he did not provide any details. During the same briefing, General Dan ?Caine, chairman of the U.S. military's Joint Chiefs of Staff, added that American forces are "ready to resume major combat operations at literally a moment's notice." U.S. Navy ships would pursue any Iranian-flagged vessel or any vessel attempting to provide material support to Iran, ?Caine told the briefing. He added that could take place not just in the region, but also the Indo-Pacific. Ships trying to break the blockade would be intercepted and warned that "if you do not comply with this blockade, we will use force," and enforcement would occur inside Iran's territorial seas and in international waters, Caine said. No ships have been boarded so far, Caine said. The U.S. military has widened its blockade to include cargoes deemed contraband, and any vessels suspected of trying to reach Iranian territory will be "subject to belligerent right to visit and search," the U.S. Navy said in an advisory on Thursday. "These vessels, regardless of location, are subject to visit, board, search, and seizure," the Navy said in an updated advisory. Contraband items listed included weapons, weapons systems, ammunition, nuclear materials, crude and refined oil products as well as iron, steel and aluminum. Sources briefed by Tehran have told Reuters that Iran could let ships sail freely through the Omani side ?of the Strait of Hormuz without risk of attack under proposals it has offered in talks with the U.S., providing a deal is ?clinched to prevent renewed conflict.

Trump Says Israel, Lebanon Agree To 10-Day Ceasefire

For more than a month, Israel and the Iran-backed Hezbollah militant group have been at war. The president wrote on social media that he had “excellent” conversations with Lebanon’s president and Israel’s prime minister and that he’ll be inviting them for talks in Washington.
