Israel should stop all strikes in Lebanon, Trump says, following Sunday's Dahiyeh attack
"There should be no more attacks by Israel anywhere in Lebanon," Trump said, "but there should also be no more attacks by any other party, including Hezbollah, against Israel."
US President Donald Trump denounced the IDF's strikes on Beirut on Sunday.
"There should be no more attacks by Israel anywhere in Lebanon," Trump said, "but there should also be no more attacks by any other party, including Hezbollah, against Israel."
"This morning's attacks should not have happened, particularly on a special day when we are so close to a Peace Deal with Iran," Trump wrote on Truth Social.
Trump added that, while Israel has the right to "defend itself against threats," the threat it was defending itself against was "very small and meaningless."
Trump concluded his message by mentioning the potential peace deal with Iran, saying: "This could be the beginning of a long and beautiful peace - Let's not blow it!"

Japan Scrambles Fighter Jets After Chinese Recon Aircraft And Armed Drone Spotted 'Near' Okinawa
Jun 14, 2026, 08:25:52 PM
The Japan Air Self-Defense Force triggered an emergency scramble of fighter jets in its southwestern sector following the detection of a highly specialized Chinese strike-reconnaissance formation over the East China Sea.
Moving directly on a trajectory toward Okinawa, the People's Liberation Army deployed a Shaanxi Y-9 electronic reconnaissance aircraft alongside a Tengden TB-001 medium-altitude long-endurance combat drone.
Dubbed the "Twin-Tailed Scorpion," the missile-capable TB-001 drone boasts a 6,000-kilometer operational range and can carry anti-ship and surface-to-surface weaponry.
According to data from Tokyo's Ministry of Defense, this paired deployment represents a tactical shift by Beijing—combining electronic warfare collection with long-range automated strike tracking to map military radar signatures, test Japanese interception reaction speeds, and establish permanent flight access across the first island chain into the Pacific.

A UAP Science Advisory Council to the U.S. Government: Keeping Our Eyes on the Orbs, Not the Audience!
June 13, 2026
On June 12, 2026, Steven Spielberg publicly released his film Disclosure Day while on the same day the U.S. Government disclosed the third batch of declassified files on Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena (UAPs) here.
I was fortunate to witness Disclosure Day on the movie screen merely a few hours after analyzing an actual UAP disclosure by the U.S. government. My conclusion is that reality is far more exciting than Hollywood scripts.
Personally, I have a hard time enjoying the artistic freedom displayed in science fiction movies because their creators violate the known laws of physics. Yes, our understanding of science is incomplete, but this does not give us the freedom to abandon what we already learned.
We can get pleasure by imagining a trillion dollars in our bank account but a reality check would restrain our imagination as long as we are not Elon Musk after the initial public offering (IPO) of SpaceX.
Research at the frontiers of science is often mired in uncertainty because of insufficient data. But a good detective resolves mysteries by collecting new evidence and analyzing it, rather than by discussing the unknown on social media or asking AI for help.
This should also be the approach of a good scientist. Figuring out the nature of UAP deserves to be a mainstream scientific research program.
Reality is under no obligation to bring us pleasure. The most down-to-earth interpretation of technological UAPs is that they are human-made. The inability of the intelligence agencies and the Pentagon to figure out their nature is a serious concern for national security.
As I explained on Fox & Friends this morning (partly displayed here), President Trump’s directive to declassify UAP files is a blessing because it provides a reality check on whether there are holes in protecting strategic sites in the U.S. against espionage by drones, balloons and other gadgets developed by adversarial nations.
Scientists and engineers need to develop better sensors and AI analysis tools to help the Pentagon in its mission. If, after analyzing new data on millions of objects, we will find beyond a reasonable doubt that one of them has a non-human technological origin, that would constitute the biggest scientific discovery ever made by humanity.
1/2
The latest UAP file release includes a new report (accessible here) dated June 5, 2026, signed by Dr. Jon Kosloski, the director of the All-Domain Anomaly Resolution Office (AARO) in the Pentagon, which mentions that during two days in October 2023 law enforcement officials notices anomalous phenomena including an orange “mother” orb launching smaller red orbs.
The report explains that 40% of the reported phenomena lack a reasonable explanation and remain unresolved.
The three UAP file releases thus far attracted more than a billion views and a lot of chatter on social media. However, to paraphrase the wisdom of basketball players: “we must keep our eyes on the orbs, not the audience!”
What could be a better way of doing that than the establishment of a new “UAP Science Advisory Council” by the White House, AARO, the Office of the Director of National Intelligence (ODNI), the FBI, and all Intelligence Community members.
This is not wishful thinking but a reality now. Over the past week, I was tasked by the above organizations to create a research team of young scientists who will serve on this council.
The Council under my leadership includes the following members:
Dr. Richard Cloete and Dr. Regina Sarmiento with expertise in data analysis and data management with AI tools, Prof. Garry Nolan with expertise in material science, Dr. Tim Gallaudet with expertise in oceanography, Prof. Matthew Szydagis with expertise in instrumentation and data collection, Dr. Devesh Nandal with expertise in numerical analysis and astrophysics, Prof. Peter Skafish with expertise in anthropology, Dr. Michael Shermer with expertise in studying anomalies, Dr. Jennice Vilhauer with expertise inn quantitative psychology, and Dr. Omer Eldadi with expertise in data management, AI and human psychology.
This constitutes an amazing A-team of exceptional scientists.
All Council members look forward to assisting the U.S. government agencies in figuring out the nature of UAPs. Our time will not be wasted because at the very least — we will promote national security.
Unlike Spielberg’s movie, the U.S. government is cooperating with scientists and not smashing their car against a moving train. Reality is more inspiring than script writers in Hollywood.
The best way to resolve the nature of UAPs is by getting higher-quality scientific data. Either we are dealing with a serious breach of national security or with the biggest scientific discovery in history.
Identifying the unidentified deserves a high priority within the U.S. government and the scientific community.

Disclosure Day: What Happens the Day After?
14 June 2026
Steven Spielberg's new film Disclosure Day ends at the moment when the real story would begin.
The world has just learned that it is not alone.
The revelation comes suddenly, globally and without warning. What in real life retired U.S. Army Colonel Karl Nell has termed "catastrophic disclosure" – a release of information so significant that it overturns humanity's understanding of itself almost overnight.
As the credits roll, billions of people are glued to televisions, smartphones and computer screens absorbing the news.
Then what?
Do people simply finish their coffee, return to work the next morning and carry on as before? Or does a significant minority struggle to cope with information that fundamentally challenges their understanding of reality? That question is no longer merely philosophical. It is becoming a public policy issue.
On 8 June 2026, uNHIdden – a non-profit led by doctors and clinical psychologists, focused on the health aspects of UAP phenomena – published Preparing for Disclosure: A Public Health Framework for Paradigm-Shifting Revelations, the first systematic attempt to apply established emergency preparedness methodology to the psychological consequences of a potential disclosure event.
As Dr David Whitehouse, former BBC Science Correspondent, writes in the report's foreword: "Perhaps we will never truly be ready for the momentous change. But we need to talk before any discovery. We need a plan, now."
“Rip off the band-aid”
Many advocates of immediate disclosure dismiss concerns about public reaction with a single metaphor: "Rip off the band-aid."
It implicitly suggests limited harm. A moment of discomfort, then nothing. There is something to that argument. Humans have absorbed extraordinary paradigm shifts before.
The Copernican Revolution removed Earth from the centre of the universe. Darwin removed humanity from its unique position in the natural order. Modern cosmology revealed a universe so vast that our entire civilisation is invisible within it.
None of those revelations produced societal collapse. People adapted. Life continued.
The difference is that those shifts unfolded over decades or centuries and were absorbed gradually. A sudden, globally synchronised disclosure event would be unprecedented.
What public health planners ask is not whether societies can adapt to transformative information, but what happens when large populations are exposed to it simultaneously.
That is the question Spielberg's film poses. And it is the question that conventional emergency planning frameworks have never seriously tried to answer.
1/3
What the evidence actually shows
No event perfectly replicates disclosure. There is no direct historical analogue for learning that non-human intelligence exists.
In the absence of direct evidence, uNHIdden's preparedness framework draws on the closest comparable events available: large-scale emergencies that share some of the relevant psychological mechanisms.
After Fukushima, physical health effects, while real, were more limited than initially feared.
But elevated levels of anxiety, depression and post-traumatic stress persisted in affected communities for years, driven not primarily by radiation exposure but by uncertainty, displacement and a collapse of trust in official communications.
Across Hurricane Katrina, the September 11 attacks, Grenfell Tower and COVID-19, the same pattern recurs: psychological consequences can outlast, and in some respects exceed, the immediate physical health burden placing unexpected strain on health services inadequately prepared to manage them.
The analogy is imperfect. None of those events challenged humanity's understanding of its place in the universe.
The relevant mechanism is destabilising uncertainty, the collapse of assumed frameworks and the loss of confidence in institutions. Those are precisely the mechanisms that disclosure could plausibly activate.
A landmark 2002 review by psychologist Fran Norris and colleagues, synthesising evidence from 160 disaster-affected populations, found that significant psychological distress was a frequent consequence of major disruptive events and often persisted long after the immediate aftermath.
The consistent message from the disaster literature is that the psychological consequences of large-scale disruptive events are substantial, sustained and frequently underestimated by planners in advance.
uNHIdden's Health Needs Assessment suggests that several groups may face elevated risk, including individuals with strong STEM identities, people with deeply held religious beliefs, those with existing mental health vulnerabilities and experiencers.
Applying cautious assumptions from the disaster literature produces a planning range of approximately 3.5% to 10.6% of adults who might benefit from some form of psychosocial support following a significant disclosure event.
These are planning assumptions, not forecasts, but they are sufficiently large to merit attention.
The information problem
Disclosure would occur in a frenzied information environment.
A landmark 2018 study by researchers at the MIT Media Lab found that false information spreads significantly farther, faster and more broadly than true information online, driven primarily by human behaviour rather than automated bots.
In a disclosure context, where official information would inevitably be incomplete and highly charged, the first narrative many people encounter may not be the correct one.
Official communications themselves, if poorly framed, risk being iatrogenic – compounding distress rather than containing it.
The information gap would heighten anxiety. People craving certainty to regain a sense of control will accept a fast lie.
2/3
The trust problem
The challenge is compounded by trust.
A substantial proportion of the public already believes governments have not been fully transparent about UAPs.
Research by Smith and Freyd on institutional betrayal – the harm caused not just by underlying events but by the violation of trust in institutions expected to offer protection and honest communication – suggests that where that trust is absent, distress in crisis conditions tends to be significantly higher and recovery significantly slower.
If disclosure involves information that citizens feel should have been released earlier, the psychological impact may not simply be astonishment. It may also include anger. And anger, in a high-velocity information environment, is a fuel that misinformation burns very efficiently.
Shifting the mean
British epidemiologist Geoffrey Rose established one of the foundational principles of public health: a large number of people exposed to a small risk often generate more total harm than a small number of people exposed to a large risk.
Applied to disclosure, that means everyone is affected, not just the vulnerable. Preparedness is not primarily about crisis response, it is about building population-level psychological resilience before any event occurs.
The Preparedness Plan proposes practical measures that can be taken now: reducing stigma, strengthening resilience, developing trusted information networks, improving mental health preparedness and encouraging collaboration between healthcare professionals, researchers, government and civil society.
All would strengthen society's capacity to respond to a wide range of crises, not just this one.
A Black Swan worth taking seriously
In the United Kingdom, the Cabinet Office Resilience Directorate has been moving towards risk methodologies that place greater emphasis on consequences and preparedness rather than simple probability calculations.
The Royal Academy of Engineering's review of the National Security Risk Assessment explicitly recommended that planners focus on impact, explore uncertainty and consider a wider range of scenarios – a shift designed precisely for low-probability, high-consequence events that conventional frameworks tend to underweight.
The organisations that would need to lead a public health response to disclosure are not the ones that typically feature in UAP discussions.
They are public health agencies, emergency planners, healthcare systems and civil society organisations. None of them is being asked to take a position on what UAPs are.
They are being asked a much more modest question: if a significant disclosure event occurred, would existing preparedness frameworks be adequate to support the populations affected?
uNHIdden intends to convene a conference in the United States in late 2026 or early 2027 to bring together public health specialists, emergency planners, mental health professionals, researchers and community organisations to explore that question further.
The public health case is ultimately a simple one. If disclosure never occurs, the capabilities required to prepare for it – stronger communities, better communication under uncertainty, greater psychological resilience and improved mental health support – will still have been worthwhile investments.
And if disclosure does occur, the difference between a prepared population and an unprepared one could be substantial.
In the crowd-pleasing excitement about craft, technology and bodies, individuals are relegated. They should not be. People matter.
