Michael Ratney, the former U.S. ambassador to Saudi Arabia under President Joe Biden, told *Politico* that Iran’s push to change the format and location of the talks is telling. While Washington initially took a “take-it-or-leave-it” stance, it ultimately agreed to the venue change. “Trump doesn’t appear eager for war with Iran, and he may be listening to his Gulf allies,” Ratney said—a view shared by several Arab officials in close contact with the White House.
Four Arab officials from two countries said President Trump and his senior aides have taken seriously their warnings that an attack on Iran could trigger retaliation against neighboring states such as Saudi Arabia and Qatar, potentially spiraling into a prolonged, large-scale regional conflict. They also cautioned that Iran could respond by targeting regional oil exports, driving up energy prices and risking a global economic crisis, possibly by attempting to block the Strait of Hormuz.
Some Gulf officials further argue that even an intensified bombing campaign—beyond last June’s U.S.-Israeli strikes on Iranian military and nuclear sites—would be unlikely to bring down the Islamic Republic. “This is far more complex than Venezuela,” one official said, referencing last month’s U.S.-backed operation that led to the capture of President Nicolás Maduro and the installation of his deputy, who has shown openness to working with the Trump administration.

U.S. Treasury Secretary Bessent on Iran:
“We engineered a dollar shortage inside the country, and it had rapid effects. The tipping point came in December, when one of Iran’s largest banks collapsed following a bank run, forcing the central bank to print money.
The Iranian currency then went into a free fall, inflation surged, and as a result, we’ve seen the Iranian people take to the streets.”

A man from Los Angeles has been arrested for allegedly sending text messages to the daughter and son-in-law of Nancy Guthrie asking about transferring Bitcoin, Fox News correspondent Matt Finn reports.
The suspect, identified as Derrick Callella, told investigators he was simply testing whether the family would respond. According to a criminal complaint, the messages are not connected to the February 2 ransom demand.

During remarks at the 74th Annual National Prayer Breakfast in Washington this morning, President Donald J. Trump joked about Iran, Venezuela, and Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Gen. Dan “Raizin” Caine.
Trump quipped that Caine was “brutal,” adding, “Just ask Venezuela. Ask Iran. They’re negotiating now — and they don’t want us to hit them. We’ve got a big fleet heading toward Iran.”
He then joked about meeting Caine at the bottom of an aircraft staircase, recounting a playful exchange about his name: “What’s your name? Raizin. What’s your last name? Caine. So let me get this straight — your name is Raizin Caine, right?”

Greek Defense Minister Nikos Dendias described Greece’s planned missile defense system, known as the Achilles Shield, as a far more comprehensive concept than existing systems like Iron Dome or the Golden Dome.
He said the system is designed to address every type of threat — from space and cyberspace to the sea, undersea, air, ballistic missiles, and cruise missiles — offering a fully integrated, multi-domain defense approach.
Dendias emphasized that Greece is working closely with Israel on the project, but not through the traditional model of simply buying weapons platforms. Instead, Greece plans to domestically produce at least 50 percent of the systems while acquiring the underlying know-how.
“Our goal is for Israel’s highly efficient and successful innovation ecosystem to work hand in hand with our own,” he said, stressing technology transfer and long-term capability building rather than off-the-shelf procurement.

Iran has requested changes to both the venue and format of Friday’s planned negotiations with the United States, raising concerns the talks could be derailed, according to two sources familiar with the matter cited by Axios.
The sources say Tehran wants to shift the talks from Istanbul to Muscat, Oman, and prefers a strictly bilateral format with the United States, rather than a broader meeting involving multiple Arab and Muslim states.
However, Iranian officials told Al-Monitor that reports suggesting the talks are close to collapse are inaccurate. They said both sides are jointly considering the most suitable format and location, with Oman and Turkey among the options still under discussion.

Israel has asked the United States for “operational freedom” to carry out unilateral military action against Iran, according to the Israeli Public Broadcasting Corporation, as President Donald J. Trump appears to favor diplomacy over direct strikes on the Islamic Republic.
In my view, there is little to no chance that President Trump would grant Israel a green light to strike Iran while genuinely pursuing a diplomatic path. Even if the U.S. did not participate directly in any attack, American military assets would almost certainly be needed to help defend Israel in the aftermath.

German authorities are probing a major suspected sabotage plot involving the German Navy’s new corvette Emden, uncovered earlier this year in Hamburg.
The attempt was detected in early January 2025 during a routine pre-delivery inspection at the Blohm+Voss shipyard, part of the NVL Group. Inspectors discovered dozens of kilograms of metal shavings intentionally poured into the vessel’s propulsion and gearbox systems, including critical diesel engine components.
Investigators say the abrasive material would likely have caused catastrophic engine failure had the ship gone to sea, potentially crippling the corvette, delaying its commissioning for months or even years, and resulting in millions of euros in repair costs. The sabotage was uncovered just days before scheduled sea trials and the ship’s maiden voyage.

Key takeaways from Hezbollah leader Naim Qassem’s speech today:
• Claimed Israel is targeting all of Lebanon, not just Hezbollah, and urged the entire country to confront it.
• Said Hezbollah is capable of inflicting pain on Israel in return, stressing that “everything has its time.”
• Rejected surrender, declaring: “Between the sword and humiliation, we choose martyrdom.”
• Criticized the Lebanese government over efforts to disarm Hezbollah, accusing it of aligning with Israel.
• Softened earlier rhetoric about joining a potential U.S. strike on Iran, stopping short of committing to intervention.
• Framed the conflict as resistance to U.S. global dominance, describing Iran as the “crown jewel” capable of defeating both the United States and Israel.

He added that Turkey’s role would be to support a genuine resolution that secures a lasting ceasefire, ensures the full delivery of humanitarian aid, facilitates reconstruction, and leads to a fair political settlement.
Erdoğan also warned that the main barrier to progressing to the next phase of the process is the “fragility of the ceasefire.”

Reminder — President Trump, Jan. 13:
President Trump urged Iranians to continue protesting, encouraging them to take control of their institutions if possible and to document the identities of those responsible for abuse and violence. He said Iranians were being “very badly abused” and noted conflicting reports about the number of deaths, adding that even one death was too many.
Trump stated that those responsible would “pay a very big price” and announced he had canceled all meetings with Iranian officials until the killing of protesters stops. He also highlighted new tariffs on anyone doing business with Iran, saying they had gone into effect that day.
He concluded by saying “help is on its way,” calling on Iranians to “make Iran great again,” describing the country as great before being taken over by what he called “monsters.” Trump added that similar instability could have happened in the United States if he had not won the election.

Hamas accused Israeli forces of committing what it described as serious abuses against Palestinians returning to Gaza via the Rafah Border Crossing, calling the actions “fascist crimes” intended to intimidate people and deter them from returning home.
In a statement, Hamas alleged that Palestinians—particularly women and children—have faced mistreatment, abuse, and deliberate extortion by Israeli forces, characterizing the conduct as collective punishment and organized intimidation. The group cited what it called firsthand accounts describing degrading treatment, including the temporary detention of women, blindfolding, prolonged interrogations over unrelated matters, threats involving their children, and attempts to coerce cooperation. Hamas said these actions go beyond routine border procedures and amount to systematic violations aimed at spreading fear.
The group called on international human rights organizations to document the alleged abuses and pursue legal action in international and national courts to hold Israeli officials accountable. Hamas also urged ceasefire mediators and guarantor states to intervene immediately, halt what it described as unlawful practices, and ensure the Rafah crossing is fully opened without restrictions, with safe and free passage for travelers in line with the ceasefire agreement’s provisions.

White House special envoy Steve Witkoff and Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi are expected to meet in Istanbul on Friday to discuss a potential nuclear deal aimed at averting an imminent U.S. military strike, according to two regional officials involved in the effort who spoke to The Washington Post.
The talks are also expected to include the foreign ministers of Turkey, Qatar and Egypt, along with counterparts from Saudi Arabia, Oman and Pakistan. Two regional officials said Washington’s Arab and Turkish partners are pushing to keep the negotiations narrowly focused on Iran’s nuclear program in an effort to secure Tehran’s agreement.
“If the talks happen, they will remain centered on Iran’s nuclear program,” one official said. “After that, we’ll look for creative ways to address Washington’s non-nuclear demands.”

Overnight airlift activity has been observed departing Biggs Army Airfield at Fort Bliss, home to U.S. Army Patriot air and missile defense units, with additional flights continuing from Japan toward the Middle East.
Tracked departures include 34 flights from Fort Hood, six from Kadena Air Base, and four from Fort Bliss. Destinations have included Muwaffaq Al Salti Air Base in Jordan (13 flights), Prince Sultan Air Base in Saudi Arabia (8), Ali Al Salem Air Base in Kuwait (8), and single flights to Al Udeid Air Base in Qatar and Isa Air Base in Bahrain.
This scale of air defense deployment strongly suggests preparations for significant Iranian retaliation. These transfer flights have been ongoing for two to three weeks, a timeline consistent with planning for sustained retaliatory strikes and the establishment of layered defensive coverage.
If planners are preparing for retaliation on this level, it also implies expectations of a major strike against Iran. The United States is not merely posturing to defend Israel, but is moving to protect its own forces, bases, and Gulf partners across the region.

The energy ceasefire brokered by U.S. President Donald J. Trump between Russia and Ukraine collapsed overnight, as Russia launched a large-scale, hours-long drone and missile assault on Monday targeting Kyiv and other Ukrainian cities. The attack struck energy infrastructure, including power plants and substations, as well as several high-rise residential buildings in Kyiv and elsewhere across the country, while Russia continued firing drones along with cruise and ballistic missiles.
Trilateral talks between Russia and Ukraine had been scheduled for Wednesday and Thursday in Abu Dhabi, but Monday night’s assault could now jeopardize the negotiations organized by the Trump administration.

Lt. Gen. Jason Armagost, deputy commander of Air Force Global Strike Command, said the U.S. operation known as “Midnight Hammer” was deliberately limited in scope. Speaking at the Mitchell Institute Airpower Forum, he described it as a single, precise action rather than part of a broader campaign.
Following the U.S. strikes on Iranian nuclear sites last June, Iran responded with a restrained ballistic missile attack on one regional base — a move seen as an effort to project strength at home while avoiding escalation with Washington.
According to the Wall Street Journal, analysts warn that a far larger U.S. air campaign would likely prompt a much stronger Iranian response. Tehran could unleash its stockpile of short- and medium-range ballistic missiles against U.S. and Israeli targets across the Middle East and activate its network of proxy forces.
While Israel has significantly weakened Hezbollah in Lebanon and Hamas in Gaza, Iran could still encourage Yemen’s Houthi movement to strike shipping and regional infrastructure, and direct allied militias in Iraq and extremist groups in Syria to attack U.S. forces.

Reporter asked about Iran’s Supreme Leader warning that a U.S. strike could ignite a regional war.

Trump added that the United States has the largest and most powerful naval forces in the region, expressed hope for a negotiated deal, and said that if no deal is reached, it will become clear whether Khamenei’s warning was accurate.

Asked whether he had made a final decision on Iran, Trump said he could not disclose that information, noting that “very big, powerful ships” are moving toward the region. He added that he hopes Iran chooses to negotiate an acceptable deal.
When questioned about reports that Saudi Arabia’s defense minister warned that backing off a strike would embolden Tehran, Trump responded that opinions vary. He said a negotiated agreement that ensures Iran has no nuclear weapons is possible and urged Tehran to pursue that path, adding that Iran is “seriously talking” with the United States, though he is unsure how it will ultimately end.

Newly released Epstein-related documents include an email indicating that U.S. Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick discussed plans in 2012 to visit Jeffrey Epstein on a private island, accompanied by another couple and their children. The email states, “I have another couple with me on my boat, and each of us has 4 children.”
Lutnick has previously said in a public interview that after meeting Epstein in 2005, he vowed never to be in a room with him again. The emails, dated 2012, appear to conflict with that account.

Drop Site News now reports that any potential U.S. strikes on Iran could likewise commence as early as Sunday.

Sequence of events regarding Iran:
1. President Trump warns Iran’s Islamic regime that it will face severe consequences if it begins killing protesters, telling demonstrators that “help is on its way.”
2. The regime dismisses the warning, proceeds to kill an estimated 30,000 protesters, and shuts down internet access.
3. U.S. military assets begin deploying en masse to the Middle East amid preparations for a potential strike.
4. Iran responds by threatening an all-out war with the United States and erects large billboards depicting a destroyed U.S. aircraft carrier.
5. President Trump signals he is willing to pause military action if Iran dismantles its nuclear and ballistic missile programs and ends support for terrorist proxies.
6. Turkey claims Israel is driving the push for military action against Iran and engages with envoy Steve Witkoff in an effort to pressure Washington to halt strikes.
7. Iran’s foreign minister says he is open to talks but insists that the nuclear and ballistic missile programs — the core demands of the Trump administration — are off the table.
Based on the trajectory of events, it appears increasingly unlikely that the situation can be de-escalated.

According to multiple sources familiar with the situation, former CNN anchor Don Lemon was arrested Friday in St. Paul, Minnesota, in connection with an incident that occurred during a protest at a church. Authorities allege that Lemon violated federal law during the demonstration.
A magistrate judge reportedly declined to advance the case last week, indicating that prosecutors had not met the required threshold at that stage. Despite that decision, federal agents proceeded with the arrest, suggesting that either new evidence emerged or the case is being pursued through a different legal avenue.

Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan said:
“We observe that Israel is making strong efforts to persuade the United States to carry out a military attack on Iran.”
However, it was President Trump who publicly drew a clear red line, warning the Iranian regime not to kill protesters and stating there would be serious consequences if it did. That line was crossed regardless, with the regime going on to kill tens of thousands of its own people. Responsibility for this escalation lies with Tehran — not Israel.

Statement from Don’s attorney:
“Don Lemon was taken into custody by federal agents last night in Los Angeles, where he was covering the Grammy awards. Don has been a journalist for 30 years, and his constitutionally protected work in Minneapolis was no different than what he has always done. The First Amendment exists to protect journalists whose role it is to shine light on the truth and hold those in power accountable. There is no more important time for people like Don to be doing this work.
Instead of investigating the federal agents who killed two peaceful Minnesota protesters, the Trump Justice Department is devoting its time, attention and resources to this arrest, and that is the real indictment of wrongdoing in this case. This unprecedented attack on the First Amendment and transparent attempt to distract attention from the many crises facing this administration will not stand. Don will fight these charges vigorously and thoroughly in court.”
