  1. Company Behind #CaliforniaChemicalLeak Was Building #F35 Parts Amid Rush of Orders From #US and #Israel

    By Jonah Valdez, 5/28/2026

    "The military contractor responsible for a Southern California chemical leak that forced as many as 50,000 people to evacuate their homes over the weekend manufactures parts of F-35 fighter jets likely bound for Israel, The Intercept has learned.

    "The #GardenGroveCA, #GKNAerospace plant, whose 7,000-gallon chemical tank ruptured last week and threatened to explode, has brought in more than $13 million since 2017 in subcontracts with military manufacturing giant #LockheedMartin, according to an analysis of federal contract data conducted by the #PalestinianYouthMovement and independently verified by The Intercept. Further analysis of F-35 production for Israel conducted in 2025 by #Ploughshares, a Canadian independent research institute, found that Lockheed doles out subcontracts to hundreds of companies across more than a dozen countries to help build the jets. Among them is GKN Aerospace Transparency Inc., the GKN subsidiary based in Garden Grove, which raked in more than $255 million from subcontracts with Lockheed Martin.

    " 'While #GKN chases contracts and profits, our community pays the price with school closures and disrupted livelihoods,' Sarah Awaida, an organizer with the Palestinian Youth Movement and Garden Grove resident who was evacuated due to the leak, said at a press conference in the city on Tuesday. “And our people abroad pay the price when the same weapon systems produced here are used to massacre people in #Gaza, in #Lebanon, in #Iran and all across the region.'

    "Garden Grove is a predominantly #WorkingClass and #immigrant city in Orange County, just outside of Los Angeles. The evacuation order, which has since been lifted, disproportionately affected residents who are #LowerIncome."

  11. An Iranian museum holds a rare exhibit of American art, reflecting on war

    TEHRAN, Iran (AP) — "The artworks are distinctly American — famed pieces in vivid colors wrestling with themes of war, violence, pop culture and commercialism. What’s startling is where they’re on display: In a museum in the Iranian capital, at a time the two countries are locked in conflict.

    "While the city’s streets are lined with anti-American billboards and posters, #Tehran’s Museum of Contemporary Art opened an exhibit this week of six works by three American Pop artists of the 1960s -- #RoyLichtenstein, #RobertIndiana and #JamesRosenquist – mainly chosen for their #AntiWar themes.

    "The works come from the museum’s large collection of masterpieces of American and European modern art that was acquired by the wife of the former shah in the 1970s. Most of it has been kept out of view since the Western-backed monarch was ousted by the 1979 Islamic Revolution.

    "After living under #USIsraeli bombardment for weeks, the young men and women strolling the gallery felt a resonance from the works.

    "Some contemplated #Rosenquist’s 'F-111,' a collage dating to the era of the U.S. bombardment of #Vietnam that critiques America’s #MilitaryIndustrialComplex with images of a warplane’s fuselage, a #nuclear #MushroomCloud and a child’s face."
