“With no end in sight, Trump considers new options in Iran war—including the ‘Dark Eagle’ hypersonic missile”
CORROBORATED
Multiple web search results report that the US military is considering deploying the 'Dark Eagle' hypersonic missile in relation to potential conflict with Iran. Two distinct web search results mention Trump considering new options in the Iran war, and another specifies the deployment of the Dark Eagle missile to the Middle East for use against Iran's missile launchers. This consistency across multiple recent reports confirms the core elements of the claim.

“The United States spends around $1 trillion a year on its military, more than 100 times as much as Iran.”
SINGLE SOURCE
The claim that the US spends $1 trillion annually on its military and that this is more than 100 times Iran's spending appears in two web search results, but these results are presented as opinion pieces ('Opinion | The U.S. Military Was Losing Its Edge' and 'Asia Times'). The Wikipedia results provide general information about US defense budgets and historical spending but do not confirm the specific $1 trillion figure or the 100x comparison. Since the specific financial comparison is only presented in non-authoritative, opinion-based web articles, it cannot be corroborated by independent, authoritative sources.
