🔸 KUSHNER MARKS SIX YEARS SINCE ABRAHAM ACCORDS: Jared Kushner said: “Six years ago, President Trump launched the Abraham Accords and opened a new chapter of peace, partnership, and prosperity in the Middle East. Many said it was impossible. But with courageous leadership, persistence, and a small group of people willing to challenge old assumptions, we proved that the impossible could be achieved. The Middle East is once again at an inflection point. There are groundbreaking opportunities today that many will say are impossible. But we have seen what can happen when leaders reject conventional thinking, focus on shared interests, and have the courage to strive for a better future. We surprised the world once. With the right leadership, focus, patience, and courage, I believe we can do it again.”

The unit will employ one-way attack drones and unmanned systems operating above, on and below the sea, supported by U.S. military personnel and regional partners.
The initiative follows the establishment nine months ago of Task Force Scorpion Strike, the U.S. military’s first dedicated one-way attack-drone squadron in the Middle East. CENTCOM says the squadron has since launched an aerial attack drone from a U.S. Navy warship, employed one-way aerial systems during Operation Epic Fury and used unmanned attack vessels during July strikes on Iranian port facilities.
