19 JUN 26 SITREP

• On her final day as Director of National Intelligence, Tulsi Gabbard released previously unreleased communications and documents alleging that Dr. Anthony Fauci worked with politicized career leadership within the intelligence community to suppress the truth about the COVID-19 virus's lab leak origins and his role directing U.S. funding for the research that caused the outbreak.
• Gabbard's departure triggered an immediate purge at the Office of the Director of National Intelligence, with acting DNI Bill Pulte seeking to fire hundreds of staff.
• The restructuring effort was called insufficient if limited only to the DNI umbrella organization, with explicit calls to extend the purge into the CIA, FBI, and NSA, the constituent agencies of the 16-agency intelligence community, to remove embedded personnel and reduce bureaucratic excess.
• Gabbard's tenure was credited with prioritizing declassification of information to serve the American people and providing the president with intelligence assessments on threats facing the United States, rather than using the position to advance personal or political standing.

• O'Keefe Media Group deployed multiple undercover agents inside Antifa cells in New Jersey for around 8 to 12 months, uncovering a highly organized internal structure requiring vetting, vouching, and testing of members, with a primary internal group chat named "NJ BURN."
• OMG's investigation identified Antifa-affiliated individuals embedded at Rutgers University, Princeton University, OpenAI where one engineer was found to have an Instagram profile linked to support for Jakhi McCray who firebombed ten NYPD vehicles in 2026, and T-Mobile where an AI automation leader was identified as a participant in the chats.
• Cres Vellucci, a board member of the ACLU and co-founder of the National Lawyers Guild, was found to have access to the NJ BURN Google Drive, which contained photos, videos, and a media kit prepared in advance of the port blockade at the Port of Elizabeth, New Jersey, on October 3.
• Antifa members blocked ports and roads in Elizabeth, New Jersey, and drew participants from Portland, North Carolina, New York City, and Pennsylvania to converge on Delaney Hall, an ICE detention facility, with professional-grade gas masks, helmets, shields, medical equipment, and supplies estimated to cost thousands of dollars, prompting calls for FBI, DOJ, NSA, and Treasury investigations into the network's funding sources.

• Weekend negotiations between the United States and Iran regarding Tehran's nuclear program were postponed today, with the Swiss foreign minister announcing the talks, for which security officials had already traveled to Switzerland, would not proceed as scheduled.
• The proposed U.S.-Iran deal called for an immediate end to fighting on all fronts, but Lebanese media reported more than a dozen people were killed in a new round of Israeli airstrikes, and Israel's military confirmed four Israeli soldiers were killed in southern Lebanon on the same day.
• Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu released a statement indicating he had met with top Israeli officials and issued clear instructions that Israel would not tolerate attacks on its soldiers or territory and would exact a heavy price from Hezbollah in response.
• Critics of the deal argued that the United States had surrendered its primary economic leverage by granting Iran immediate oil sanctions waivers and unlocking billions in frozen assets before Iran made any verifiable concessions, warning that Iran would use the pause to resupply Hezbollah and other proxy forces.
