RECAP: -The U.S.-Iran exchange exploded. The U.S. struck Iran again Wednesday and downed Iranian drones. Iran says it fired on four ships in Hormuz, then claimed it hit a U.S. airbase in retaliation. -Kuwait activated its air defenses against "hostile" missile and drone attacks. Likely tied to the IRGC retaliation, since Kuwait hosts major U.S. bases. -Israel escalated hard in Lebanon, striking over 150 Hezbollah sites and issuing evacuation orders for buildings in Tyre. Netanyahu authorized more intense attacks even as the deal is meant to end that war. -Politico says the Pentagon has quietly staged the troops and warships for a Cuba invasion. All it needs is Trump's green light. -AP reports: the Trump administration told Miami prosecutors to stand down on Venezuela's acting president as oil deals flow. Same pause reportedly hit Colombia's Petro. -The Pentagon is in talks to fund U.S. drone makers. The U.S. builds 100,000 drones a year. Ukraine built 4 million. -A Google engineer was charged with using insider company data to win $1.2 million on Polymarket.
