United States Armed Forces

Israel is pushing for a United States-led international force to take on the task of disarming Hezbollah in Lebanon, according to Responsible Statecraft. The proposal would shift responsibility for neutralising the armed group's arsenal away from the Lebanese state and onto an American-led mission. The idea raises questions about Lebanon's sovereignty, the role of the Lebanese army, and whether Washington would accept such an open-ended security commitment.

The US Air Force secretary has publicly acknowledged that the United States maintains weapons in space, a rare official confirmation of a capability long rumored. The statement is drawing attention given years of ambiguity around American space-based military systems and ongoing debates about space militarization and arms control.
