When he approved a campaign to reopen shipping in the Red Sea by bombing the Houthi militant group into submission, President Trump wanted to see results within 30 days of the initial strikes two months ago. By Day 31, Mr. Trump, ever leery of drawn-out military entanglements in the Middle East, demanded a progress report, according to administration officials. But results were not there. The US had not even established air superiority over the Houthis. Instead, what was emerging after 30 days of a stepped-up campaign against the Yemeni group was another expensive but inconclusive American military engagement in the region.

Is China Covertly Involved in Armed Conflicts?.

As CGST is a private company owned by public entities is controlled by govt of Jilin Province, China. It name sake of the satellite constellation, & Changchun Institute of Optics, Fine Mechanics, and Physics, a part of Chinese Academy of Sciences & directly linked to Chine govt.
This isn’t first time Jilin satellite images have been provided to hostile to the US. In 2024, company provided 2 satellites to Wagner paramilitary group for intelligence op in Ukraine and Africa. It was later revealed satellite images had been used to assist Wagner’s rebellion against Russian govt in 2024 also.

This time, the company has become even more daring by risking direct involvement in an attack against the U.S. military. While China has officially remained uninvolved in the Red Sea conflict, it continues to maintain close ties with Iran, who supports & funds the Houthi rebels & result of its involvement with Wagner, the U.S. has placed CGST on U.S. blacklist. 

A Satellite Constellation hard to destroy. 
With over 100 active satellites, the Jilin constellation is nearly indestructible. There are simply too many to destroy with anti-satellite operations from the U.S. Space Force, and they’re easily replaceable (China has launched more than 40 satellites in a single go!). As a result, U.S. will likely be hearing more about Jilin satellites in the future.

Houthi rebels issued a new warning to companies investing in Israel, claiming that if they don’t stop they could be the next targets amid repeated drone and missile attacks on Jewish state. Yemen’s Supreme Political Council leader claimed that companies will be responsible for themselves if they get hit.

Failed Op Spider Web: Ukraine, under its Op Spider Web, targeted five Russian air bases after infiltrating its territory.

Why?. Hamas responded US sao sao  Trump ceasefire proposal by saying the Hamas is prepared to release 10 living Israeli hostages & 18 dead hostages in exchange for a number of Palestinian prisoners, request some amendments to the plan as group repeated its demands for a permanent truce, a complete Israeli withdrawal from Gaza & guarantees for the continuous flow of humanitarian aid. None of these are in the deal on table. It neither an explicit rejection nor a clear acceptance of US terms, Washington says Israel accepted as Hamas said it had submitted its response to US draft proposed by Steve Witkoff, US President Trump's special envoy for Middle East.

After soldiers killed, IDF says troops have no choice but to enter Gaza buildings to check for tunnels. IDF Spokesman Brig. Gen. Effie Defrin speaks at a press conference at the Kirya base in Tel Aviv, (Israel Defense Forces) After deaths of four troops in a booby-trapped building in southern Gaza’s Khan Younis this morning, IDF Spokesman Brig. Gen. Effie Defrin says sometimes there’s “no choice” but to enter structures in the Strip to investigate them.

Sometimes there’s no choice but to investigate a tunnel route,” Defrin says in response to a question at a press conference. “To do this, without being harmed by an explosive, we carry out a variety of methods. We will investigate this incident,” he says.

The U.S. President Joe Biden announced the names chosen by U.S. Navy for its next two aircraft carriers of the Gerald R. Ford-class on Jan. 13, 2025. The USS William J. Clinton (CVN-82) and USS George W. Bush (CVN-83) will be fifth and sixth Ford-class carriers respectively, joining the USS Gerald R. Ford (CVN-78), USS John F. Kennedy (CVN-79), USS Enterprise (CVN-80), and USS Doris Miller (CVN-81).

China's "Linglong One" nuclear reactor, developed by the China National Nuclear Corporation, has attracted significant attention as it has the potential to be used as a power plant for China's aircraft carriers. With a small modular design, "Linglong One" boasts a powerful output that surpasses the USS Nimitz aircraft carrier's nuclear power system. Two "Linglong One" reactors can provide 280,000 horsepower, exceeding 
output of the dual reactors on the Nimitz class carrier. It is even comparable to the advanced Ford class carrier, although surpassing it depends on China's technological advancements. The development of a nuclear-powered aircraft carrier would have significant implications for China's maritime power & could potentially challenge the status of US nuclear-powered aircraft carriers. However, it is important to note that the US has a long-established lead in advanced research and development, making the advancement of China's comprehensive technological capabilities a key factor in determining the future outcome.
