Iran certainly isn't planning on backing down in the face of Washington's accusations about the country's role in last week's tanker bombings, and as a result, the possibility of a boots-on-the-ground military conflict in the Islamic Republic cannot yet be ruled out. Making an already tense situation infinitely more precarious, Iran on Monday reminded the world that it's preparing to violate the terms of the Iran deal during the next ten days.

By increasing its stockpiles of enriched uranium, Iran is bound to elicit accusations that it's once again working on a nuclear bomb. Tehran has always maintained that its nuclear program is for peaceful purposes, but American neocons like John Bolton have warned that this was merely a ruse, and that Iran could target American allies like Israel with a missile.

The Iranian government announced on Monday that it was set to breach the cap on enriched uranium, unless Europe finds a way to trade with Iran, or otherwise fulfill its financial obligations made under the deal.

European officials have been somewhat more skeptical of Iran's role in last week's tanker attacks, though many have acknowledged that if this were to be true, it could seriously complicate efforts to preserve the nuclear deal. German Foreign Minister Heiko Maas, who visited Tehran last week, said Germany is still looking at evidence on whether Iran was responsible for last week’s attacks. Meanwhile, the UK has decided to deploy 100 Elite Royal Marines to the region to serve as a "rapid reaction force" to protect British assets.

Behrouz Kamalvandi, a spokesperson for the Iranian atomic energy agency, said Iran has "already increased" uranium production at a nuclear research site in Natanz in the central Isfahan province, according to RT.

"From today, the countdown has begun, and by June 27, our uranium production will have surpassed 300kg," Kamalvandi said.

Last month, Tehran announced that it would partially suspend its commitments under the JCPOA, giving the EU 60 days to reaffirm its commitment to the deal. Speaking to reporters on Monday, Kamalvandi criticized the EU, saying that the bloc "either do not want to do something, or they just don’t have the ability to do it," but he added that "Europeans still have time" to save the deal

They're awful

For this weekend’s roll-up of bizarre and disturbing stories from around the world, we found ourselves zeroing-in on some ridiculous data privacy violations.

Soccer app spies on fans

The Spanish soccer (sigh, OK– football) league, known by fans around the world simply as La Liga, knew that most pubs across Europe showing its matches weren’t paying for the subscription.

La Liga was sick of losing out on royalties from the pirated video streams. So they turned their fans into unwitting spies.

Through a special app they encouraged fans to download, La Liga was able to secretly activate the mobile devices’ microphones.

They then listened in on the fans’ surroundings (and pinpointed their location) to determine if the fan was in a pub watching an unlicensed broadcast.

When they finally got caught, the league received a tiny slap on the wrist for this extraordinary crime– a mere fine of €250,000, roughly USD $280,000.

I hope this makes you re-think some of the apps you’ve downloaded…

Yet another government database was hacked

The US Customs and Border Patrol is starting to roll out facial recognition software at airports and entry points around the United States.

But they already can’t keep our photos and information secure.

This month, CBP announced that a database containing photos of drivers and license plates crossing the border was hacked.

As many as 100,000 people had their photos, license plates, and sensitive information about their travels leaked into unknown hands.

Even if you could trust the government’s intentions, you can’t trust them to keep your data private.

Apple scans your uploaded images

Its cause is noble…

Apple doesn’t want to allow criminals to upload images of child abuse onto the cloud.

But their solution is to invade the privacy of every user.

Apple recently changed their privacy policy to include authorization for “pre-screening or scanning uploaded content for potentially illegal content.”

But they don’t explain how invasive this pre-check actually is.

We don’t know how they evaluate if an image is illegal, what they do about false positives, or if they are storing data collected from these scans.

All we know is that photos being uploaded to Apple’s cloud are not as private as you thought.

Man spends 44 days in jail for not unlocking his phone

Police pulled a man over and found marijuana.

Then they saw a message pop up on his phone. It said, “OMG did they find it?”

That prompted cops to demand access to the man’s phone, but he refused. Eventually they got a judge to issue a warrant forcing him to reveal the password to his phone.

But he still refused.

Because of his refusal to let cops dig for crimes on his phone (or view intimate pictures of his girlfriend) the man was found in contempt of court. He spent 44 days in jail, still refusing to give up the passcode, before charges were downgraded, and he was released.

President Donald Trump blasted Don McGahn and said he’d be open to receiving foreign dirt in talking with George Stephanopoulos, but apparently their interview also touched on UFOs.

In an excerpt from the interview released Saturday morning, Stephanopoulos asked about recent reports of Navy pilots seeing unidentified flying objects.

“Have you been briefed on that?” Stephanopoulos asked. “What do you make of it?”

“I have,” Trump said. “I think it’s probably––I want them to think whatever they think. They do say, I mean, I’ve seen and I’ve read and I’ve heard and I did have one very brief meeting on it, but people are saying they’re seeing UFOs.”

“Do I believe it? Not particularly,” the president added.

This isn’t the first time UFOs have come up during this administration. Back in late 2017, Sarah Sanders was asked if Trump “believe[s] in these incidents of UFOs.”

DOES THE PRESIDENT BELIEVE IN THE EXISTENCE OF UFOS?pic.twitter.com/ItVhybnRU8

'A no brainer!'

Authored by Jason Ditz via AntiWar.com,

For the second time in less than a month, US forces carried out airstrikes “in self defense” in Afghanistan, only to discover that they were actually attacking Afghan security forces. The Wednesday strike ended up wiping out an entire unit, though officials have yet to disclose the exact number of deaths, beyond it apparently being everyone present.

The previous attack saw US ground troops believing they were under fire, and the warplanes attacking police, killing 18.

In this case, too, US officials said they believed the troops came under fire, and the airstrikes targeted the Afghan forces, who had been firing machine guns.

Despite all the talk of self defense and US troops being “under effective fire,” officials insist not a single US casualty occurred. US officials expressed “regret” for the deaths of Afghan partners.

Interestingly, however, US spokesman Col. David Butler praised the operation as “extensively planned and coordinated” with the Afghan forces, with an eye toward preventing exactly what ended up happening.

An investigation is promised, but all too often the investigations into incidents like these, where the result was particularly embarrassing, never really publicly end, and the day of the attack ends up the last we hear about it.

Two of the three versions of Lockheed's beleaguered F-35 fighter jet suffer from previously unreported problems that could put the Joint Strike Fighter at a serious disadvantage in a dogfight with an adversary, according to documents obtained by Defense News.

If left unresolved, the following 'category 1' glitches will be icing on the cake of Lockheed's $400 billion quagmire (partial list via Defense News); 

• When the F-35B vertically lands on very hot days, older engines may be unable to produce the required thrust to keep the jet airborne, resulting in a hard landing.
• After doing certain maneuvers, F-35B and F-35C pilots are not always able to completely control the aircraft’s pitch, roll and yaw.
• Supersonic flight in excess of Mach 1.2 can cause structural damage and blistering to the stealth coating of the F-35B and F-35C.
• Cabin pressure spikes in the cockpit of the F-35 have been known to cause barotrauma, the word given to extreme ear and sinus pain.
• The spare parts inventory shown by the F-35’s logistics system does not always reflect reality, causing occasional mission cancellations.
• If the F-35A and F-35B blows a tire upon landing, the impact could also take out both hydraulic lines and pose a loss-of-aircraft risk.
• Possible maneuvering issues when the aircraft is operating above a 20-degree angle of attack.
• The F-35’s logistics system currently has no way for foreign F-35 operators to keep their secret data from being sent to the United States.

On that last one - this means that there's no way that the eleven countries which have committed to buying F-35s will be able to prevent the Untied States from spying on their maneuvers (Sorry Australia, Belgium, Denmark, Italy, Israel, the Netherlands, Norway, Japan, South Korea, Turkey and the United Kingdom).

Of note, the F-35 program had 111 "category 1" deficiencies as of January 2018, defined as major flaws that impact safety or mission effectiveness. By May 24 2018, that had decreased to 64 open category 1 issues out of a total 913 deficiencies according to the documents. 

The Pentagon pushes back

F-35 DoD program executive Mat Winter told Defense News that none of the identified issues represent any serious or catastrophic risk to pilots, missions or the F-35 airframe. 

After being contacted by Defense News, the program office created two designations of category 1 problems to highlight the difference between issues that would qualify as an emergency and others that are more minor in nature.

“CAT 1-As are loss of life, potential loss of life, loss of material aircraft. Those have to be adjudicated, have to be corrected within hours, days. We have no CAT 1-A deficiencies,” Winter said.

Instead, the deficiencies on the books all fall under category 1B, which represents problems “that have a mission impact with a current workaround that’s acceptable to the war fighter with the knowledge that we will be able to correct that deficiency at some future time,” Winter added. -Defense News

Greg Ulmer, Lockheed's Vice President for the F-35 program, said that F-35s already in the field are meeting or exceeding performance specifications. 

"These issues are important to address, and each is well understood, resolved or on a path to resolution," said Ulmer, adding "We’ve worked collaboratively with our customers, and we are fully confident in the F-35’s performance and the solutions in place to address each of the items identified."

Of course, acting defense secretary Patrick Shanahan may disagree - reportedly describing the F-35 program as "fucked up," according to the Washington Post. 

Fighter pilots are shaking their heads

Defense News approached two fighter pilots - one retired and one active duty, who offered their perspectives on the F-35. 

The recently retired aviator said some of the issues jumped off the page at him, including the cabin over-pressurization issue, given the rash of over-pressurization issues in other aircraft, including the F/A-18E/F Super Hornet, EA-18G Growler and F-22 Raptor.

But perhaps the most serious for aerial combat operations is the combination of maneuvering issues when the aircraft is operating above a 20-degree angle of attack and the issue of possible structural damage and damage to the low-observable coating when using the afterburner. That coating helps provide the F-35 a stealth capability.

"The one that stood out to me was, wait a minute, you're telling me that the latest, greatest aircraft — [a] $100 million aircraft — can't perform?" the retired fighter pilot said. "It has random oscillations, pitch and yaw issues above 20A?" -Defense News

The active duty pilot, on the other hand, said that the list of deficiencies weren't a huge concern, and that given the plane's relatively recent introduction such problems are inevitable. 

"That document looks like growing pains for an aircraft that we tried to do a whole lot to all at once," said the aviator. "You’re going to see that if you dig back at what Super Hornets looked like for the first few years. Go back in the archives and look at [the F-14] Tomcat — think about that with the variable sweep-wing geometry, the AUG9 radar: There was a lot of new technology incorporated into the aircraft, and there is going to be growing pains."

"I don’t see anything in that document that makes me say: ‘Holy sh--, what did we buy?’ If the questions is, ‘Why does the aircraft have all these problems?’, I don’t know, it may sound trite, but it’s a really f--ing complicated machine." 

Avenatti allegedly lied to his mentally ill, paraplegic client and siphoned off a $4 million settlement from the L.A. County Sheriff's Department.
