It's Thursday, the 27th of March. Welcome to the President's Daily Brief. I'm Mike Baker, your eyes and ears on the world stage. And yes, I'm still on the road. Somewhere in, I believe it's Europe. I'm not sure, I'll have to check. Let's get briefed. We begin with signs of a major US military build-up at the Diego Garcia base in the Indian Ocean.

Reports point to B-2 stealth bombers and C-17 transport aircraft either arriving or already on the ground, raising questions about whether Washington is preparing for more strikes against the Houthis or sending a signal to Iran.

Later in the show, NATO's Secretary General Mark Rutte is calling for European unity, urging nations to ramp up their defense spending and military production after a blunt warning from the United States. Europe needs to be ready to defend itself. Plus, we'll break down the latest in Signalgate. Oh, there's a catchy name, right? Signalgate. It had to come up with a catchy name.

And you had to usually add gate to it, whether it's Watergate or whatever it may be. As the Atlantic Publishers leaked text messages from top intelligence and military officials, revealing what was never meant to go public. And in today's Back of the Brief, a tragic story out of Lithuania, where four US soldiers were reportedly killed during training exercises. But first, today's PDB Spotlight.

Spekulation is building that the Pentagon is preparing to make a major move in the Middle East, following reports of a mysterious build-up of stealth aircraft at a key military outpost. According to the UK Defense Journal, the US has recently been moving a significant number of military assets Untertitelung des ZDF für funk, 2017 Untertitelung des ZDF für funk, 2017

But the preparations at Diego Garcia suggest an even larger scale air operation could be imminent. The activity also coincides with President Trump's increasingly stern warnings to the Iranian regime over their covert nuclear weapons program, igniting speculation, of course, that strikes on Iran's nuclear sites could be next on the Trump agenda.

Für einen Hintergrund, die Diego Garcia Luftwaffe sitzt strategisch in den südlichen Flächen des Indischen Ozeans und hat lange als Launch-Plattform für US-strategische Bomber und langfristige Angriffsmissionen geholfen. Zum Beispiel hat die Luftwaffe, die wir mit dem britischen Militär teilen, eine wichtige Rolle gespielt in den US-Operationen während der Gulf War in den frühen 1990er-Jahren.

wie auch für Afghanistan und Irak während der ersten Jahre der globalen Terrorkriege. Ein open source intelligence analysis of military flight tracking data reveals that over the past few days at least 5 B-2 spirit stealth bombers, 7 C-17 Globemaster III cargo aircraft and 11 KC-135 refueling tankers have arrived at the remote outpost.
