The war enters month two with boots on the ground, the streets fill on three continents, and someone decompiled the White House app.
The Ground Phase Begins
A month of airstrikes destroyed a third of Iran’s missiles. Now the Pentagon is preparing weeks of ground operations — a 3,500-strong Marine group has entered the CENTCOM region. Iran struck back at a Saudi air base, likely destroying an irreplaceable E-3 AWACS aircraft and wounding 15+ US troops. Zelenskyy says Russia provided satellite imagery of the base before the attack. The Houthis opened a new front with missiles on Eilat, threatening a second waterway. Kuwait airport took Iranian drone strikes. Iranian lawmakers are pushing to exit the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty.
The air campaign’s limits are showing: intelligence suggests two-thirds of Iran’s missile capacity remains intact.
No Kings, No Far Right, No War
Three mass movements hit the streets on the same Saturday. The third ‘No Kings’ protest drew millions across all 50 US states and 16 countries — expected to be the largest protests in American history. In London, the Together Alliance marched half a million against the far right. In Tel Aviv, thousands demanded an end to the war.

Ukraine’s Deep-Strike Campaign Forces Russia to Halt Gasoline Exports
FP-5 Flamingo cruise missiles hit the Promsintez explosives plant 890 km from the border. The Kirishi refinery is down to 40% capacity. Fires broke out at Ust-Luga port. The cumulative damage forced Russia to suspend all gasoline exports April through July — a strategic consequence months in the making.

The White House App Injects JavaScript Into Every Website You Visit
Someone decompiled the official White House Android app and found it hides cookie banners, login walls, and paywalls by injecting JavaScript into every page opened in its browser. The YouTube player code loads from a personal GitHub Pages account — meaning a compromised account could inject arbitrary code. No SSL pinning, dev artifacts in production. Supply-chain security as government software.
