The warnings — detailed for #Hegseth by the heads of the #Army, #Navy & #AirForce & the four-star commanders overseeing #US operations throughout #Europe, #Asia & #LatinAmerica — appear in the Aug 14 edition of the Secretary of Defense Orders Book ( #SDOB ), these people said. They described the assessment to WaPo on the condition of anonymity because the document is #classified.

The strikes are separate from the #Pentagon’s campaign against alleged drug boats that began last fall. Those strikes have been fiercely criticized by #HumanRights groups & most Democratic lawmakers, who say they are #extrajudicial #murders. The admin has justified the strikes by equating “narco-terrorists” with militants assaulting the #US.

While other routes still are open, the #US strikes could expand further, potentially disrupting both the movement of military materiel & goods needed for #Iran’s 90 million people.
CENTCOM said it hit dozens of targets in its latest airstrikes, which concluded at dawn Friday, the 6th night in a row of US attacks.
The strikes also collapsed a tower at Iran’s Chabahar port on the #GulfOfOman, a key #trade route for landlocked, neighboring #Afghanistan….

Democratic Sen #TimKaine of Virginia pressed #Rubio on why the #US #military’s targeting criteria for attacking alleged drug #boats in Latin American waters DO NOT INCLUDE DRUGS ON THE BOAT. Kaine described it as “odd” before adding that he can’t share much more because the targeting criteria are classified.

#Trump finally entered the East Room of the White House 45 minutes late to give his first public remarks about the war he’s launched on #Iran. His chief of staff, #SusieWiles & #JointChiefs Chair Gen #DanCaine are there.
Trump said the #US #military “continues to carry out large-scale combat operations in Iran.”

Sen #TimKaine also echoed Sen #MarkWarner (D-VA), the top #Democrat of the #Senate #Intelligence Cmte, saying that “all of the intelligence” he has seen suggests that there was “no imminent threat” from #Iran. He said Iran was “a decade” away from building missiles that could reach the #US.

Democratic lawmakers are criticizing Trump’s decision to strike against #Iran without congressional approval or seeking a declaration of #war in #Congress. Sen #TimKaine (D-VA), a member of the #Senate Armed Services Cmte, called the #US military campaign “an illegal war” on Fox News.

One of the most prominent Iraqi #militias, #KataibHezbollah, on Thursday issued a public statement urging its fighters to “be prepared to engage in a #war of attrition that may be prolonged & exceed the expectations of the #US administration.” It also issued a warning to the #Kurdish regional government in #Iraq “against collaborating with hostile foreign forces” that “could threaten its security & future.”

As #corruption later expanded nationwide, first under the late President Hugo Chávez & then under #Maduro, the use of the term #CartelDeLosSoles expanded to #police & #government officials as well as activities like illegal mining & fuel trafficking. The “suns” in the name refer to the epaulettes affixed to the uniforms of high-ranking #military officers.

Land strikes or other actions would be a major expansion of the monthslong operation that has included a massive #military buildup in the #Caribbean Sea & striking boats accused of trafficking drugs, killing >80 people.
But the entity that the #Trump admin alleges is led by #Maduro is not a #cartel per se. Venezuelans began using the term #CartelDeLosSoles in the 1990s to refer to high-ranking military officers who had grown rich from drug-running.

The #Trump admin is set to ramp up pressure on Venezuelan President Maduro on #Monday by designating the #CartelDeLosSoles as a foreign #terrorist organization [#FTO].
The designation is the latest measure in the Trump admin’s escalating campaign to purportedly combat drug trafficking to the US. The move comes as Trump evaluates whether to take #military action against #Venezuela, which Trump has not ruled out.
