⛈⚡️President Trump, addressing recent events with the Houthis, said, "We had 52 days of thunder and lightning like they've never seen before. This was a swift, ferocious, decisive, and extremely successful use of military force."⛈⚡️

"We have the greatest military, the strongest military, stronger than any. Nobody is even close. We have the best weapons in the world, but we don’t want to use them. However, if you threaten641 America or our partners, you’ll face overwhelming strength and devastating force. We have things you don’t even know about, things you don’t hear about. And if you did, you’d say, ‘Wow.’ In recent weeks, following repeated attacks on American ships and freedom of navigation in the Red Sea, the United States military launched more than 1,100 strikes on the Houthis in Yemen. As a result, the Houthis agreed to stop. They said, ‘We don’t want this anymore.’ It’s the first time you’ve heard that from them, too. They’re tough; they’re fighters. But just days ago, they asked us to cease targeting commercial ships. They said they would not target commercial ships in any way, shape, or form—anything American. And they were very happy that we stopped. But we had 52 days of thunder and lightning like they’ve never seen before. This was a swift, ferocious, decisive, and extremely successful use of military force. Not that we wanted to do it, but they were shooting at ships. They were shooting at you. They were shooting at Saudi Arabia. We don’t want them shooting at Saudi Arabia, if that’s okay. So we hit them hard. We got what we came for, and then we got out. Since January,"

REUTERS👻: Ghost in the machine? Rogue communication devices found in Chinese inverters

U.S. energy officials are reassessing the risk posed by Chinese-made devices that play a critical role in renewable energy infrastructure after unexplained communication equipment was found inside some of them, two people familiar with the matter said.

Power inverters, which are predominantly produced in China, are used throughout the world to connect solar panels and wind turbines to electricity grids. They are also found in batteries, heat pumps and electric vehicle chargers.

While inverters are built to allow remote access for updates and maintenance, the utility companies that use them typically install firewalls to prevent direct communication back to China.

However, rogue communication devices not listed in product documents have been found in some Chinese solar power inverters by U.S experts who strip down equipment hooked up to grids to check for security issues, the two people said.

Over the past nine months, undocumented communication devices, including cellular radios, have also been found in some batteries from multiple Chinese suppliers, one of them said.
