The Pentagon is deploying additional air defense systems to the Middle East before any potential strikes on Iran, officials say. The U.S. is moving Thaad and Patriot batteries to bases in Jordan, Kuwait, Bahrain, Saudi Arabia, and Qatar to protect American forces, Israel, and regional allies from possible Iranian retaliation.

President Trump's carrier battle group has arrived in the region, but officials state airstrikes aren't imminent. The military could conduct limited strikes if ordered, but a decisive attack would likely prompt proportional Iranian response. During June's 12-day conflict, Iran fired 14 missiles at Al Udeid Air Base in Qatar after U.S. strikes on Iranian nuclear sites.

The U.S. currently has seven operational Thaad batteries, which have been stretched thin. The Pentagon and Lockheed Martin agreed Thursday to quadruple interceptor production from 96 to 400 annually, though this won't impact potential near-term conflict. Eight Navy destroyers are positioned within range to counter aerial threats.

The Justice Department released over 800,000 records related to Jeffrey Epstein on Friday, including emails and photos involving prominent figures (WSJ). The release contains correspondence with Elon Musk, Bill Gates, Richard Branson, and others from roughly 2002 to 2014.

Emails detail gift exchanges with former Obama counsel Kathryn Ruemmler and planned visits involving Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick and Google co-founder Sergey Brin. Multiple individuals appeared in correspondence discussing meetings or island visits.

The documents include references to former Prince Andrew, who previously settled a lawsuit with an Epstein accuser. Several people named in the files have denied wrongdoing or expressed regret about their associations with Epstein, who died in 2019 while awaiting trial on sex-trafficking charges. See files.

Gold and silver's Friday crash offers valuable lessons for protecting your portfolio during volatile times. Understanding what drives precious metal prices helps you invest smarter.

Three forces moving gold markets:

Smart investors watch bond markets for inflation signals, not just metal prices. Silver tripling in 12 months often signals speculation, not fundamentals.

Friday's moves followed Fed chair Kevin Warsh's selection, showing how policy shifts impact assets. The takeaway: Position yourself early in solid trends, but recognize when prices exceed underlying value. Diversification protects against timing mistakes.
