Hezbollah's Warning Shocks Israel After Iran’s Victory Boast Following MoU With US

Canada is making a major shift in its defense strategy. Instead of fully embracing U.S. President Donald Trump's proposed Golden Dome missile-defense vision, Ottawa has signed a landmark $2.5 billion radar deal with Australia, marking the largest defense export in Australian history.The agreement will see Canada acquire an advanced over-the-horizon radar system modeled on Australia's proven JORN network, giving Ottawa the ability to monitor vast stretches of the Arctic from thousands of kilometers away.
