US troops brace to surrender phones after deadly attack video sullied Trump: report

U.S. troops deployed to the Middle East are bracing for the seizure of their phones after a viral video of a deadly Iranian attack left President Donald Trump answering for the deaths of two soldiers, according to a new report. The top U.S. commander for the Middle East warned troops in a July 28 letter that cellphone videos shared online were helping Iran assess the damage from its own strikes, Reuters reported.In Jordan, some troops have already been told their phones will be taken in the coming days, Reuters reported.Footage posted by the open-source account OSINTtechnical on X circulated on July 17 before CENTCOM confirmed that two American service members had been killed at Muwaffaq Salti Air Base in Jordan during an Iranian missile and drone attack, Times Now reported.Reuters reported that the prospect of confiscations was already rattling families at home — writing that "the possible seizure of phones has stoked anxiety among some family members, already on edge in recent months as they read Iranian claims of deadly strikes on bases throughout the Middle East."Admiral Brad Cooper, head of CENTCOM, argued in his letter that open-source reporting was effectively doing Iran's targeting work for them."Detailed lists, descriptions, and analyses of what was hit, openly published by news outlets are essentially performing Iran's Battle Damage Assessment [a military term for evaluating strike damage] for them, free of charge," Cooper wrote, Reuters reported.A service member's Meta smart glasses recorded footage posted to Instagram showing troops evacuating to a bunker during the July 17 attack — the kind of open-source exposure, Cooper wrote, that forced Trump to defend the war publicly before the Pentagon could control the narrative.Speaking to the New York Post shortly after the attack, Trump deflected Democratic criticism by invoking prior conflicts."Have you ever asked how many people died in Vietnam? Have you ever asked how many people died in Afghanistan in one day? In one day — run by Sleepy Joe Biden," Trump said."And it's a shame, but in this case, they died because they don't want to see Iran have a nuclear weapon and they don't want to see the Middle East blown up," Trump told the Post.Russia banned smartphones for soldiers in 2019 after open-source journalists used troops' social media posts to expose secret military operations in Ukraine and Syria, the BBC reported.Cooper stopped short of ordering specific steps, and a third source told Reuters the confiscations were not yet confirmed region-wide.

'Simply want him to focus': Ex-insider spills details about White House frustrations

Frustrations are mounting in the White House, a former insider revealed Wednesday. A new CNN poll finds a record 73 percent of Americans believe President Trump hasn't focused enough on the country's most pressing problems, with only 27 percent saying he's had the right priorities.The survey conducted by SSRS came alongside darkening views of the Iran war, persistent economic frustration and broad dissatisfaction with the president's handling of these challenges, findings that former White House staffer Alyssa Farah Griffin reacted to Wednesday on "CNN News Central.""These are glaring signals – alarms are going off," said Griffin, who served as director of strategic communications during Trump's first term. "You and I were covering that speech last week at the White House Correspondents Dinner. He was weaving, he was bobbing, he was swimming. He was all over, and his White House advisers, I talk to many of them, they simply want him to focus on the economy – yet he will not do that.""Trump's overall approval rating stands at 34 percent, tying the career low he hit at the end of his first term after January 6, 2021. Half of Americans now strongly disapprove of him, while just 15 percent strongly approve — both record extremes. Even within his own party, approval has slipped to a new low of 78 percent, and only 19 percent of Republicans say they're enthusiastic about the remainder of his term, down sharply from 38 percent last spring."The midterms don't look great for Republicans," Griffin said. "I think it's pretty much a foregone conclusion that the House is going to flip, but I think it's in the back of his mind that the Senate very much looks like it may stay in Republican hands. It could flip, but there's not some overwhelming wave, I think, that he's expecting, and I think that gives him some hope that there is going to be this balance of power where he still may have Republican control in the Senate, yet lose the House to Democrats."Just 28 percent approve of his handling of Iran, 25 percent on inflation and 21 percent on gas prices. Only about a quarter of Americans believe he has a clear plan for the Iran conflict, and 62 percent now say he isn't an effective world leader. - YouTube youtu.be
