Speaking Feb. 17, 2026 as indirect nuclear talks opened in Geneva, Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei warned President Donald Trump that the United States “will not succeed” in destroying Iran, dismissing U.S. military threats and saying weapons could send U.S. warships “to the bottom of the sea.” The remarks coincided with Iranian live-fire missile drills in the Strait of Hormuz and a rising U.S. military buildup in the region, including carrier deployments. Iranian state media said the Geneva talks would focus only on nuclear issues; Tehran insists on sovereignty and rejects predetermining outcomes as negotiators met via Omani mediation. (apnews.com)

President Trump, asked aboard Air Force One about reports that Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem and her top aide Corey Lewandowski are in a romantic relationship, said, “I don’t know about that. I mean, I haven’t heard that. I’ll find out about it, but I have not heard.” The alleged affair — which both deny — has been described as the “worst-kept secret” in Washington. Reporting says the pair frequently traveled together on government aircraft and provoked internal DHS disputes over staffing and resource use. A department spokesperson called the coverage “salacious, baseless gossip.” Media accounts include pilot and travel anecdotes reported by news outlets. (rollcall.com)

Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei said President Donald Trump “will not succeed” in destroying the Islamic Republic, delivering the warning as indirect U.S.–Iran nuclear talks began in Geneva. Khamenei framed the remark as a response to recent U.S. threats and blunt presidential statements, rejecting pressure and vowing resistance. His comments coincided with Iranian live-fire missile drills that temporarily closed the Strait of Hormuz and a heightened U.S. military presence in the region. Geneva meetings, mediated by Oman, involve Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi and U.S. envoys as both sides probe whether diplomacy can avert further escalation and avoid war.
