"A Greek air force jet has crashed at an air show north of Athens and the plane's two pilots were killed. The crash of the twin-seat Phantom F4 jet occurred during a low-altitude maneuver. The resulting fire sent large plumes of black smoke into the air in front of several thousand spectators on Saturday. There were no injuries among the attendees. Air force officials in Greece said that the bodies of the two pilots were located during a rescue operation 60 kilometers or about 40 miles north of Athens. Air show organizers canceled remaining events."

"A federal judge has refused block the Pentagon from firing three Stars and Stripes staff members who claim they were illegally disciplined for speaking out about the military news outlet’s need to maintain its editorial independence. U.S. District Judge Trevor McFadden ruled Friday that the journalists are unlikely to successfully prove that the Pentagon violated their First Amendment free speech rights. He said Stars and Stripes’ editorial independence “is not at stake here.” Stars and Stripes publisher Max Lederer, editor-in-chief Erik Slavin and Middle East reporter Lara Korte sued last Thursday to challenge their firings by the Pentagon, which partially funds the news outlet."

"The widow of an airman killed on a combat mission in the Middle East says it took a viral social media post to get clarity from the Pentagon on issues related to her husband’s benefits and basic pay months after his death. Maj. Alex Klinner died while serving on a refueling aircraft that crashed in western Iraq in March while supporting operations against Iran. This week, the Air Force reached out to his widow, Libby Klinner, to clarify that she would receive hazard pay and tax breaks. This occurred after she voiced frustration at being told by a military officer that her husband was ineligible for those benefits because “we were not at war.”"

"Vice President JD Vance says he wouldn't call the U.S. conflict with Iran a “war,” despite recent escalations. On Thursday, Iran fired at U.S. ally Kuwait in retaliation for U.S. strikes. But Vance on Thursday emphasized the U.S. responsibility to act against Iran's targeting of commercial vessels in the Strait of Hormuz and said he “wouldn’t call” the conflict “a war.” The conflict has impacted oil prices, which remain high. The U.S. Navy is reporting great success escorting oil-carrying vessels through the strait, but traffic is well below prewar levels. President Donald Trump's focus is increasingly on economic pressure, aiming to maintain control without returning to the full-throttle bombardment of Iran."
