Pentagon Will Redirect Weapons Meant for Ukraine to the Middle East

Department of War may have to prioritize the conflict in the Middle East over the never-ending war in Ukraine

Too many wars, not enough weapons and munitions.

The military operation in Iran has started affecting supplies ‌of the US military’s critical munitions, leading the Department of War to evaluate whether to redirect weapons that were originally meant for Ukraine to ​the Middle East.

Reuters reported:

“The weapons ​that could be redirected include air defense interceptor missiles ​purchased through a NATO initiative launched last year, under ⁠which partner countries buy U.S. arms for Kyiv, the ​report said.

The consideration comes as U.S. operations in the region intensify. ​Admiral Brad Cooper, the Central Command chief leading U.S. forces in the Middle East, said on Wednesday the U.S. had hit over 10,000 ​targets inside Iran and was on track to limit Iran’s ​ability to project power outside its borders.”

The ⁠Defense Department wants to ensure that US forces in the Middle East, as well as its allies, ‘have what they need to fight and win’.

NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte did not answer questions regarding the Pentagon’s plans.

Euronews reported:

“Rutte said it was not his place to comment on critical support, but assured that essential military equipment ‘continues to flow’ to Ukraine, alongside military intelligence from the US.

Ukrainian officials have openly voiced concerns that Washington’s attention and resources have been more focused on the Middle East.

These fears have been echoed by the European leaders. French President Emmanuel Macron said at the end of last week’s EU summit in Brussels that the Iran war ‘must not divert our attention from the support we give Ukraine’.”

The Pentagon has notified the US Congress that it will divert about $750 million in funding to ‘restock the US military’s own inventories, rather than to send additional assistance to Ukraine’.

Massive Protests Over Fuel Prices Are Ongoing in Ireland Among Police and Army Crackdown on Roadblocks (VIDEOS)

Ireland has awakened.

The massive fuel price protests began on April 7, 2026, and are now today (12) in their sixth day.

While it’s fair to say that the fuel spike we are witnessing is caused by the military conflict in Iran and the closure of the vital waterways of the Strait of Hormuz, that is not the entire story.

What we are seeing is the action of ordinary Irish truckers, farmers, transporters, taxi and bus drivers that are pushing back against suicidal ‘green’ policies implemented by the Irish government.

These policies, as they are, align with international climate commitments, including the EU’s net-zero agenda and carbon pricing mechanisms.

Protesters explicitly demand the suspension or removal of the carbon tax on fuels — especially agricultural diesel.

Protesters are also calling for resuming domestic oil exploration off Ireland’s west coast, whereas current policies restrict fossil fuel development in favor of ‘rapid decarbonization’.

The protests involve drivers blocking major roadways, fuel depots, ports, and even Ireland’s only oil refinery in Whitegate, Cork.

Today (12), Ireland’ Garda used pepper spray and made arrests to clear protesters blockading the refinery.

Deutsche Welle reported:

“Authorities moved in to disperse the protesters to restore supplies after five days of nationwide demonstrations over soaring fuel prices.

Law enforcers, supported by armed forces personnel, moved in to reopen the Whitegate refinery in County Cork and escort fuel trucks on Saturday.

After Ireland’s Defense Forces joined the police in clearing the protests, Irish police chief Justin Kelly said on Saturday that the fuel protesters’ actions were ‘endangering the state’.”

But despite the police action, Seven Irish motorways remain BLOCKED.

The Sun reported:

IRISH commuters are being warned to expect significant delays today – as the fuel protests continue for the sixth day. Public transport is also facing delays on its major services amid the fuel protests, including blockades and limited fuel supplies.

Dublin’s M50, the biggest motorway in the country, was cleared in the early hours of this morning as part of Garda operations to remove blockage and restore access to the public.”

Police respond to an incident outside a Chick-fil-A restaurant at night, with emergency vehicles and officers present near the entrance.

Police respond to an incident outside a Chick-fil-A restaurant at night, with emergency vehicles and officers present near the entrance.

A mass shooting took place inside a Chick-fil-A restaurant in Union Township, New Jersey, on Saturday night, and witnesses report that it was done by a “group” of masked men.

The shooting left one person dead and at least six others injured, according to multiple law enforcement and media reports.

The incident took place around 8:40 p.m., and witnesses described chaos as a group of masked gunmen entered the busy fast-food restaurant, went behind the counter, and opened fire.

According to a report from NJ.com, a man whose girlfriend works at the restaurant said that a group of men entered, went directly behind the counter, and fired multiple shots.

Another eyewitness, the father of an employee, told the local news that his son called him in a panic, reporting that multiple masked suspects had stormed inside and that several co-workers were injured.

He described the scene inside as a “warzone.”

Law enforcement officers arrived quickly and found multiple victims suffering from gunshot wounds.

An officer could be heard on the police scanner saying, “I’ve got one shot in the face and at least two in the leg.”

One victim was pronounced dead at the scene, while the others were transported to nearby hospitals.

The exact conditions of the surviving victims have not been publicly released.

A large police presence remained at the scene into the early morning hours, with the restaurant placed on lockdown.

Officers were seen canvassing the parking lot, interviewing witnesses, and reviewing surveillance footage.

Union Police and the Union County Prosecutor’s Office are leading the investigation.

Lauren Farinas, a spokeswoman for the Union County Prosecutor’s Office, said in a statement, “This is an active and ongoing investigation. More information will be released as it becomes available.”

No information has been released regarding the number of suspects, their identities, a possible motive, or any arrests.

This remains a developing story. The Gateway Pundit will provide updates as new details emerge.

Anyone with information is urged to contact local authorities.

UFC President Dana White held a press conference on Saturday night after the conclusion of UFC 327.

Dana White is known for his no-nonsense press conferences.

He never holds back.

A reporter tried to bait Dana White on a question about the UFC Freedom 250 event at the White House in June.

UFC Freedom 250 will be hosted on the South Lawn of the White House on June 14, 2026 to celebrate 250 years of the US.

“Be Part of History UFC Freedom 250 celebrates the 250th birthday of the United States with a once-in-a-generation tribute to the American fighting spirit,” the UFC said.

“From the Revolution to the Octagon, this unforgettable event will unite generations through powerful storytelling and elite competition on the world’s greatest proving ground,” the UFC said.

A reporter tried to politicize the UFC event.

“Was there ever hesitancy or consideration of perhaps having an event at the White House and maybe a part of a fan base that does not lean into those politics with the [Trump] administration?” a reporter asked Dana White.

“I don’t think like that,” Dana White said.

Dana White called Trump a good friend and praised him for being a fan of the sport.

WATCH:

Last week, UFC President Dana White hinted that President Trump would be attending Saturday night’s fight at the Kaseya Center in Miami.

“It’s good to be back in Miami. Yeah, I’m pumped. We got the big guy coming on Saturday, too. He’s coming,” Dana White said to Adin Ross.

The president is a great friend of Dana White and has attended numerous UFC fights over the years.
