Trump Declassifies China Election Files; U.S. Strikes Hit Iranian Bridges, Killing 7

President Trump delivered a primetime White House address Thursday claiming declassified intelligence shows China illicitly acquired 220 million U.S. voter files and operated a 'shadow government' concealment operation. Existing U.S. intelligence assessments have found no evidence Beijing altered the 2020 vote. Simultaneously, U.S. strikes hit bridges in Iran's southern Bandar Khamir region, killing at least seven people; Iran fired missiles and drones at regional allies, and Kuwait activated air defenses against hostile drone and missile threats. ABC and NBC declined to air Trump's address live; Trump responded by threatening to revoke their broadcast licenses, prompting the FCC—which has already launched probes into broadcasters—to become an active instrument of pressure.
