In less than one week, the Iran war has produced a remarkable string of combat firsts that pull back the curtain on an American military boosted by AI and stocked with upgraded weapons. Why it matters: Some of America's defense-tech advancements have been on full display during Operation Epic Fury.

Three new American systems stand out in the air campaign against Iran: the newly-introduced “PrSM” missile, the low-cost “LUCAS” drone, and a new Tomahawk missile with apparent stealth capabilities.

The Clarksville-Montgomery County School System is deploying OPENGATE weapons detection systems at its high schools, using Tennessee Safe Schools Act grant funds to cover the purchase.

The conflict between Iran, Israel and the United States expanded on Thursday after multiple Iranian attacks pushed leaders in Britain and Italy to accelerate their deployment of military assets to the region.

Iran’s Foreign Minister also rejected negotiating a cease-fire with the U.S., contradicting Trump’s claims that Iranian leaders “want to talk.”
