And he believes the pressure is growing to reveal the truth after several whistleblowers have come forward to give evidence before the US Congress and a new documentary featuring 34 high level military and government officials - including Senator Marco Rubio - has been released.

Trump vows to release new Pentagon UFO videos if he wins after admitting there 'could be life on other planets' By Sayan Bose DONALD Trump vowed last year to reveal exclusive UFO footage if he was elected back to the White House. The Republican presidential candidate said he would push the Pentagon to declassify the alleged UFO sighting videos in a sensational interview. Trump, who went on to trounce Democratic rival Kamla Harris in the presidential elections in November 2024, is known to have a decade-long fascination with aliens and unexplainable sightings. He told popular American podcaster Lex Fridman that he would "surely" make secret footage of alleged UFO sightings public. During the chat, Fridman asked Trump: "Will you help push the Pentagon to release more footage, which a lot of people claim is available?" To which Trump readily agreed and said: "Oh yeah, sure, I'll do that. I would do that. I'd love to do that. I have to do that." The Republican leader also claimed he had faced pressure to declassify previous records of alien encounters as he admitted "there could be life on other planets".

"Clearly the Trump administration is not going anywhere near the NHI topic at the moment, so when will the issue be broached? It's a good question.

Thousands of people reported seeing a V-shaped formation of lights moving silently across the sky, and stationary lights in the Phoenix area. While some believe it was a UFO sighting, the official explanation is that they were flares dropped during military exercises. The lights were observed between 7.30 pm and 10.30pm MST, spanning a distance of about 300 miles, from the Nevada border through Phoenix to Tucson. The Air Force stated the lights were flares dropped during military exercises at the Barry M. Goldwater Range near Phoenix. Despite the official explanation, many people believe the lights were a genuine UFO sighting, and the incident has become a significant event in UFO lore. The Phoenix Lights remain a subject of debate and fascination, with many still questioning the official explanation. "Yet 'Catastrophic Disclosure' should be a last resort measure because of the uncertainty such an event may cause. "For decades the forces that have controlled the UAP narrative have risked such an event but were half prepared to combat such a scenario, the risk for panic and alarm is now much higher because of the internet, new technology and the use of social media. "Think about it, everyone carries a smartphone with high quality video cameras and applications that offer immediate 'live streaming'.

"But here is the kicker, I believe that if that same event happened today and was seen by over 50,000 people, and was captured in 4k, 8k video and 'live streamed' within minutes of it occurring the authorities would not have time to contain it. "Such an event would likely go viral across the world on social media in minutes …. and the cat would be out of the bag. "A mile wide craft of unknown origin captured in stark reality over the city of Phoenix and with it 'Catastrophic Disclosure' on an unprepared world.

Cequence Unveils AI Gateway to Secure Agentic AI Use
Home » Emerging technologies » Artificial Intelligence » Cequence Unveils AI Gateway to Secure Agentic AI Use Cequence, a pioneer in application security, has announced the launch of the Cequence AI Gateway. The new solution is designed to help enterprises harness the productivity of agentic AI while maintaining control and security. According to Cequence, the AI Gateway bridges the gap between AI agents and enterprise applications. It enables instant connectivity with necessary guardrails, allowing organizations to scale AI use safely. Many enterprises have lacked tools to implement agentic AI securely and efficiently. Security leaders are concerned about risks, as the pace of AI integration often outstrips compliance frameworks like the EU AI Act and Anthropic's ASL. CIOs are also wary of high opportunity costs due to the need for developer upskilling. Cequence AI Gateway offers a solution by providing: Instant AI-agent connectivity to APIs and applications using standards like the Model Context Protocol (MCP) Real-time policy enforcement to prevent abuse and protect data The company explained that the AI Gateway integrates with the Cequence Unified API Protection (UAP) platform. This ensures open access for AI agents while maintaining enterprise-grade security, governance, and visibility. Ameya Talwalkar, CEO and co-founder of Cequence, stated that enterprises are rapidly adopting agentic AI, often without adequate security. The AI Gateway, combined with UAP, enables secure and seamless integration. The AI Gateway simplifies API access by converting any API into an MCP-compatible endpoint. It requires no coding and removes the need to update solutions when new protocol versions are released. Additionally, it supports OAuth 2.0 IdP for identity-based access and includes real-time traffic monitoring and audit logging. Cequence emphasized the enterprise-readiness of its solution, noting its ability to integrate with existing infrastructure, support pre-production and production modes, and ensure continuous monitoring. The platform is already trusted by major organizations to protect over 10 billion API interactions daily. With the AI Gateway, Cequence aims to stop AI-driven attacks and support new AI-driven business models. Skyfire CEO Amir Sarhangi called the solution critical infrastructure for agentic AI, praising its ability to offer secure, scalable access to enterprise APIs. Early adopters have reported rapid implementation success. One enterprise customer shared that the solution enabled a stalled project to become operational within 48 hours, significantly improving customer interactions. Shreyans Mehta, CTO and co-founder of Cequence, said the launch is a natural evolution of their API protection strategy. He added that enabling agentic AI responsibly requires deep understanding of API security, which Cequence is uniquely positioned to deliver.

Trans-Afghan peace train pact puts trade over turmoil
On July 17, 2025, Pakistan, Afghanistan and Uzbekistan signed a trilateral Framework Agreement on the Joint Feasibility Study of the Uzbekistan-Afghanistan-Pakistan (UAP) Railway Project during a high-level meeting in Kabul. This agreement marks a significant milestone in efforts to strengthen regional connectivity and economic integration by linking Central Asia with South Asia through a strategic rail corridor. The planned route will pass through Termez in Uzbekistan, Mazar-i-Sharif and Logar in Afghanistan and enter Pakistan via the Khyber Pass, ultimately connecting to Pakistani seaports. All three countries reaffirmed their commitment to peaceful cooperation, enhanced trade and shared regional prosperity. The railway is envisioned to facilitate both passenger and freight services while supporting bilateral, regional and transit trade. The Trans-Afghan Railway, initially proposed in 2018, is projected to span over 700 kilometers across Afghanistan and drastically reduce transport time from Central Asia to the Arabian Sea from several weeks to just a few days. Upon successful completion, the railway is expected to carry up to 20 million tons of cargo annually, establishing a vital trade corridor between Central Asia and seaports. This would significantly lower shipping costs, enhance trade efficiency and provide Afghanistan with much-needed transit revenue. The project has drawn interest from international stakeholders, including Russia, Iran and financial institutions, though political instability and funding gaps, especially within Afghanistan have posed challenges. Nonetheless, the recent trilateral agreement signals renewed momentum and a strong political will to move the project forward. Afghan officials have welcomed the development as a critical step toward regional economic integration, emphasizing that improved infrastructure could contribute to long-term stability and development in Afghanistan. UAP Trans-Afghan Railway project holds profound strategic significance for all of Eurasia, promising to transform the region into a hub of trade, connectivity and cooperation. By linking Central Asia to Pakistan's southern ports, the corridor will not only facilitate access to global markets but also play a pivotal role in Afghanistan's economic recovery and integration. The trilateral collaboration between Uzbekistan, Afghanistan and Pakistan signals a shared vision for regional prosperity, where economic interdependence can help ease political tensions, foster trust and promote long-term stability. As the railway progresses, it is expected to generate thousands of jobs, spur infrastructure development and stimulate key sectors such as agriculture, textiles, construction and logistics. Uzbekistan's commitment to expanding trade ties and enhancing the role of the Termez International Trade Center further underscores the project's potential to become a cornerstone of regional growth and peacebuilding. As part of the next phase of the UAP Railway Project, the three partner nations have agreed to establish a Tripartite Coordination Committee to oversee technical studies, finalize financing models, and manage the overall implementation of the US$4.8 billion project, targeted for completion by 2027. More than just a physical infrastructure initiative, the railway is envisioned as a 'bridge of trust,' reshaping trade routes, unlocking the region's vast economic potential, and fostering political goodwill. Afghan Acting Foreign Minister Amir Khan Muttaqi hailed the agreement as a 'significant milestone' in regional diplomacy, highlighting the deepening cooperation that also led to the recent restoration of full ambassadorial-level ties between Kabul and Islamabad. Although not formally part of the agreement, China has quietly supported the initiative, viewing it as a complementary extension of its Belt and Road Initiative (BRI). Its involvement underscores both Beijing's commitment to regional connectivity and the diminishing role of India in post-2021 Afghanistan. The UAP Railway aligns closely with Pakistan's strategic objective of transforming itself into a vital trade and transit hub connecting Central Asia, China and the Middle East. With growing cooperation with Afghanistan and Uzbekistan, Pakistan is creating new geopolitical space to rebalance its regional posture. This shift enables Islamabad to focus its geopolitical bandwidth more effectively on pressing challenges along its eastern front, particularly its complex relationship with India. The strengthening of western ties through economic corridors not only boosts Pakistan's regional standing but also contributes to long-term stability by integrating fractured economies, reducing mutual mistrust, and promoting shared prosperity across the broader Eurasian region. Pakistan's Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Ishaq Dar, during his second visit to Kabul in three months, also held high-level talks with Afghanistan's acting leadership, including Prime Minister Mullah Hassan Akhund, Foreign Minister Amir Khan Muttaqi, and Interior Minister Sirajuddin Haqqani. The meetings underscored the growing momentum in Pakistan-Afghanistan relations, with both sides reaffirming their shared commitment to peace, trade, and regional connectivity. Emphasis was given to sustained cooperation to unlock economic opportunities and ensure long-term prosperity across the region. In his discussions with the Afghan leadership, Dar emphasized the importance of addressing key issues, including security, border management, and transit cooperation, stressing that resolving these matters was vital for realizing the full potential of regional integration. The reaffirmation of earlier commitments, including those made in April 2025, reflected a mutual desire to maintain high-level engagement and strengthen bilateral ties in pursuit of common goals. In a nutshell, the UAP Railway Project represents more than just a transport initiative; it is a blueprint for regional transformation through economic integration, strategic cooperation, and mutual trust. While the recent thaw in Pakistani-Taliban relations has provided fresh momentum to expedite progress on the railway, the fragile nature of this détente amid ongoing cross-border militant activity remains a key challenge. Nevertheless, if the current truce between Islamabad and Kabul holds, it could mark a turning point, bringing the three nations significantly closer to realizing a project that promises to reshape trade routes, stimulate economic growth and solidify their roles as vital transit hubs. By investing in connectivity and sustaining political engagement, Uzbekistan, Afghanistan and Pakistan are laying the groundwork for a more stable, prosperous and interconnected Eurasian region where infrastructure serves not only economic goals but also peacebuilding and regional trust.
