US Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin overturned plea deals for 9/11 attack mastermind Khalid Sheikh Mohammed and two co-defendants, reinstating them as death-penalty cases.
This decision follows backlash from victims' families and Republican lawmakers.
Austin reserved authority for pre-trial agreements, citing the decision's significance.
The move highlights ongoing challenges in prosecuting 9/11 suspects, the political sensitivity of these cases, and their enduring impact on US policy and national security.
The U.S. ramps up its military presence in the Middle East with the deployment of ballistic missile destroyers and B-52 bombers, as tensions rise following Iranian threats against Israel. Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin has ordered these strategic assets to enhance deterrence and protect American personnel and allies in the region. This deployment coincides with reports of Iran potentially preparing to launch strikes against Israel, heightening concerns ahead of the U.S. presidential election. As the conflict escalates, including Israel's ongoing military operations in Gaza and Lebanon, the U.S. reaffirms its commitment to regional stability and defense.
