Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth is boasting on “X” that he had dismantled a program supporting women on security teams — and may not have realized the program he just tried to break was not a “woke” Biden-era initiative but instead a celebrated program signed into law by his boss President Donald Trump. Hegseth in a agitated tweet Tuesday called the “Women, Peace & Security” program at the Department of Defense “a UNITED NATIONS program pushed by feminists and left-wing activists. Politicians fawn over it; troops HATE it.” But the legislation was actually endorsed by Trump, was heralded by Trump family members and is supported by Joint Chiefs Chairman Gen. Dan Caine. A spokeswoman for Hegseth did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

Five decades after the end of the U.S.-led war in Vietnam, Asian American and Pacific Islander veterans are reflecting on the life-changing ordeal that was at time made more complicated by their race. Service members in the Army, the Marine Corps and other units faced are sharing stories about the racism they faced while growing up and again while serving their country. They were often reminded that they resembled opposing forces and were on the receiving end of ethnic slurs. Others, however, say they ultimately found camaraderie with their brothers-in-arms and are still proud of their service. Now, all these years later, many of these veterans want their voices to be heard.
The humanitarian needs of hundreds of thousands of survivors remain desperately pressing a month after Myanmar’s deadly earthquake, compounded by airstrikes that the military government is reportedly carrying out despite ceasefires. The 7.7 magnitude March 28 quake hit a wide swath of the country, causing significant damage. Myanmar’s Department of Meteorology and Hydrology reported Monday there had been 157 aftershocks after the big quake, ranging in magnitude from 2.8 to 7.5. State-run TV said Sunday the quake’s death toll had reached 3,769. Meanwhile, a report by a London-based research group said it had documented 80 post-quake airstrikes by the military across multiple regions, including 65 after the army declared its unilateral ceasefire.

Iran’s president has visited those injured in a huge explosion that rocked one of the Islamic Republic’s main ports. The facility purportedly linked to an earlier delivery of a chemical ingredient used to make missile propellant. The visit Sunday by President Masoud Pezeshkian came as the toll from Saturday’s blast at the Shahid Rajaei port outside of Bandar Abbas in southern Iran’s Hormozgan province rose to 28 killed and some 1,000 others injured. While Iran’s military sought to deny the delivery of ammonium perchlorate from China, new videos emerged showing an apocalyptic scene at the still-smoldering port. A crater that appeared meters deep sat surrounded by burning smoke so dangerous authorities closed schools and businesses in the area.
