US Army major to be executed by firing squad

US: Trump Orders “Public Execution” of Army Major! (9.10.2026)

The Army announced this week that the execution would take place at Fort Hood on Dec. 3 after Hasan was convicted of killing 13 people and injuring 32 others in a shooting at the military base in 2009.

Hegseth, speaking to the conservative TV outlet Real America’s Voice on Wednesday, said, “We’ll make sure that people are able to watch it, that it’s public.” Officials in the Pentagon clarified Thursday that the execution would be livestreamed and that more details would follow.

The revelation from Hegseth about the public nature of the execution — let alone one as violent as a firing squad — has raised further questions about how the death penalty is carried out in the U.S., especially after the botched lethal injection of Christa Pike in Tennessee.

Iran: What Happened in Isfahan? A US “Pilot Rescue” – or “Search for Uranium” Special Forces Mission?

These special combat search and rescue (CSAR) helicopters, which have an advanced FLIR system, multi-purpose radars, can fly very low, and have electronic warfare equipment, entered the airspace of the Islamic Republic, and one HC-130J Combat King II, which is an aerial tanker.

They were filling their tanks in a mountainous region in the Kohgiluyeh and Boyer-Ahmad province and then departed from Iranian airspace at the southern boundaries. Western media reports claimed that they had rescued the American pilot, without any evidence.

In the early hours of April 5 — two days after the initial incident — reports emerged of fierce confrontations and gunfire at multiple locations in southwestern Iran.

Iranian police forces (Faraja) and local tribesmen engaged in encounters with special forces of the American regime, which had entered Iranian airspace for a second time.

Simultaneously with these clashes, several telecommunication towers in Dehdasht, Kohgiluyeh and Boyer-Ahmad Province, were struck to severely disrupt communications between the Islamic Republic’s defending forces.
