Trump Paused Project Freedom After Gulf Allies Reportedly Suspended Base, Airspace Access It's no secret that America's Gulf allies bore the brunt of Iran's military retaliation in the wake of Operation Epic Fury. Now there are reports of Washington being brushed back when it comes to ongoing base access in the region. President Trump abruptly halted plans to support commercial shipping through the Strait of Hormuz after Saudi Arabia suspended US military access to its bases and airspace for the operation, two US officials told NBC . Kuwait is reported to have imposed similar restrictions in wake of being on the receiving end of Iranian missiles. Prince Sultan Air Base in Saudi Arabia, file image According to the officials, Trump caught Gulf allies off guard when he announced Project Freedom on Truth Social, triggering anger in Riyadh. Saudi Arabia is said to have responded by informing Washington that US forces would not be permitted to operate aircraft from Prince Sultan Air Base southeast of Riyadh or transit Saudi airspace in support of the mission . Other Gulf allies were also reportedly surprised by the development, with Drop Site News also reporting Kuwait has made a similar move to cut or restrict base access. According to more details from the NBC report : In response, the Kingdom informed the U.S. it would not allow the U.S. military to fly aircraft from Prince Sultan Airbase southeast of Riyadh or fly through Saudi airspace to support the effort, the officials said. A call between Trump and Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman did not resolve the issue , the two U.S. officials said, forcing the president to pause Project Freedom in order to restore U.S. military access to the critical airspace. But here is how Trump framed the pause at the time in a Truth Social post: "Based on the request of Pakistan and other Countries, the tremendous Military Success that we have had during the Campaign against the Country of Iran and, additionally"... and he also sa...

Wei Fenghe (left), Li Shangfu (right) China sentenced two former defense ministers, Wei Fenghe and Li Shangfu, to death with a two-year reprieve for corruption, state media reported Thursday. A Chinese military court issued the rulings Wednesday, saying both men would receive life imprisonment without the possibility of parole or sentence reduction after the reprieve period expires. The court also ordered the confiscation of all personal assets. The punishments cap a sweeping antigraft campaign targeting the People’s Liberation Army and signal Beijing’s determination to eradicate entrenched corruption within the military leadership and the weapons procurement system.

JHVEPhoto/iStock Editorial via Getty Images Reviewing AMD's Q1 Earnings For years, I've been bullish on Advanced Micro Devices ( AMD ) for different reasons. First, I saw them gaining more from the revenue mix toward data center sales, where the firm could have enjoyed higher margins and higher growth rates in general. Second, I saw their CPU positioning at a superior level to everyone else - that's why in my most recent article on the stock, I called AMD a "Buy" on the CPU renaissance . It was in March, and since then, the stock has already soared by over 93%, which isn't something I initially expected. Seeking Alpha, Oakoff's previous article on AMD Yesterday, the AMD stock added over 18% following its Q1 2026 earnings release, and while I agree that the stock looks massively overvalued now based on most conventional ratios, I think the rally has leg to run further as AMD's management executes on their updated plans, reaching the forecast expansion targets. We haven't seen the real adoption of agentic AI tech yet, and the stock market seems to be willing to reprice all related Agentic-AI-enablers (like AMD) much higher today, acting well in advance. It's just the market's nature, and it doesn't mean that the market is wrong or excessively bullish on something that will never happen. Sometimes it can be premature or unscrupulous in its selection, and weak companies whose stocks were repriced at an early stage then cannot execute on time and at sufficient quality, leading to another repricing, but to the downside. Those companies that can execute well, and whose revenues/earnings growth rates are real, stay richly valued and continue their move-up thanks to the operational/financial expansion (i.e., the multiple expansion stalls or even falls to some extent, and the stock price continues to soar thanks to the underlying fundamentals). We saw it with Broadcom ( AVGO ) and Nvidia ( NVDA ) back in the day, and I believe that's exactly what we're about to see with AMD i...
