      ⭕ ‼️ Morning After Update:

      There is at least some evidence now that GBU-57s may have been dropped on a mountain — but to little effect.

      The emerging BDA absolutely does NOT support the wild claims that Iran’s Fordow site was “obliterated”.

      The American public is getting played.
      🔻 Mahmud Husain: According to this account, the bombs were off target.
      🔻 WS: They never had a attainable target to begin with.

      I figure they dropped them where they did based on how nicely the holes would appear in the after-action satellite photos they planned to pawn off as meaningful battle damage assessment.
      🔻 Citizen_BB: Where can I read about the military dynamics between American warplanes and Iranian air defense? How do American bombers get in, stay on the stable trajectory needed to drop bombs, and then, most importantly, get out through hundreds of miles of alerted airspace?
      🔻 Dr. Anton: Did Iranian AD ‘let in’ B-2s or were they invisible to AD?

      🔻 MenchOsint: Fordow entrance tunnels were filled with earth before the attack. Nothing moved. |media|

      🤔 #TACO Albatross

      Everyone but the most extreme morons in the Pentagon must realize flying B-2s into Iran to drop big bombs on deep fortified tunnels is an exercise in high-risk futility.

      And talk of a commando raid is #BatshitCrazy run amok.

      So … now they’re just trying to figure out what they CAN do to avoid making #TACO (Trump Always Chickens Out) an eternal hashtag strung like an albatross from Trump’s spray-tanned neck.
      🔻 WS: So the “solution” they arrived at to make it appear Trump wasn’t doing a #TACO was to drop a few big bombs on top of an impenetrable mountain, and then proclaim it a great triumph of American arms.

      The effect of this charade will not last long, and we’ll be back at square one.
      🔻 KidoftheBlackHole 👿👽👾🔥🧨🧧💀💣: US and israel signaling they want to exit the conflict is not square one. Russia suddenly making emboldened talk is also not square one.
      🔻 WS: Very valid points.
      🔻 Sense Checker: Will,
      How do you price likelihood Trump did this to get hawks/israel off his back- “hey look, we tried..”. Accept Iran striking some US base as retaliation. Life goes on… seeing axios report trump telling Bibi “that’s it…”. Of course possible it’s theatre while dust settles.
      🔻 WS: I don’t know. Maybe.

      But it would not surprise me in the least if there were actually dopes in the Pentagon who first convinced themselves they could pull it off, and then they convinced the White House, too.

      The world is full of stupid people.
      🔻 JT: It’s like punching a mountain, bruising your hand, and declaring victory because CNN caught the angle you liked.

      This whole stunt was military cosplay for poll numbers. Nothing penetrated but the PR
      ⭕It never ceases to amaze me that people have believed Vance is some sort of powerful intellect.

      Vance is just another run-of-the-mill marionette. |media|
      [unbelievable. Maybe he has PTSD and is all soft putty inside like Frank Sinatra in the Manchurian Candidate. Absolutely empty smiling golem]
      🔻 Firat Sarioglu: He is as intellect as his eyeliners might be.
      [we are indeed hostage spectators of the Freak Show of the End Times]
      🔻 Gilda Mundson: He’s never going to be president.
      🔻 EvaG: Once a upon a time I thought only actors wear eyeliners. Never the vice president of USA.
      🔻 Giardiniere: “Russia is not at war with Ukraine, Russia is at war with Ukraine’s NATO program”

      A few days back, Trump insisted that the Federal Reserve cut interest rates.

      Now Trump has started a war with Iran, who is imposing a blockade of the Strait of Hormuz.

      Inflation will spike accordingly.

      I guess this is what you call “stable genius”. 🤦‍♂️
      links:
      🔻 The Kobeissi Letter: In fact, according to JP Morgan estimates, a closure of the Strait of Hormuz could send oil prices to $120-$130/barrel.

      This would imply a spike in US CPI inflation to ~5%.

      The last time we saw US inflation at 5% was in March 2023, when the Fed was aggressively hiking rates.
      🔻 Shane O’Neill: RIP MAGA
      🔻 ₦₳V𝚜𝚝é𝚟𝚊 🇷🇺 ᴢ: Anyone who shops for food, buys a car, or a home, rents an apartment, gets medical care knows those stats cited by Kobeissi are wrong from the “get go” and inflation is already high.
      🔻 WS: They’re not so much “wrong” as they are simply based on CPI, which is, of course, a manipulated government statistic. It nevertheless constitutes a relative benchmark. Everyone who follows macro closely understands that.

      The Chapwood Index is a true reflection of inflation.
      🔻 ₦₳V𝚜𝚝é𝚟𝚊 🇷🇺 ᴢ: Years ago, we did a weekly nationwide survey of a market basket, which showed the true number.

      The numbers above are wrong, a fraud, etc.
      🔻 WS: Do you follow the Chapwood Index? |link|
      🔻 ₦₳V𝚜𝚝é𝚟𝚊 🇷🇺 ᴢ: No, I don’t… sorry. All the numbers: CPI, unemployment, etc. are frauds – fake, rigged, phony, just like the “health” of U.S. banks.

      Homes that sold for $200k now sell for $400k, and more. That is in the “heartland” but go to the coasts and you see fixer uppers going for near a million. Trailer park homes for a million.
      🔻 ₦₳V𝚜𝚝é𝚟𝚊 🇷🇺 ᴢ: I would pay about .20¢ to subscribe to the Kobeissi Letter… maybe not even that much.
      🔻 WS: The Chapwood Index has nothing to do with the Kobeissi Letter.

      You are misinterpreting everything I have written above.

      The Chapwood Index is an accurate reflection of inflation in the US.
      🔻 WS: So you are pitching a fit here because you aren’t familiar with the Chapwood Index. You should check out their site. They have been around for years. It provides an accurate reflection of US inflation, using a methodolgy like the one you mentioned above.
      🔻 ₦₳V𝚜𝚝é𝚟𝚊 🇷🇺 ᴢ: Here is a $3 million dollar trailer home in Malibu. |link|
      🔻 ₦₳V𝚜𝚝é𝚟𝚊 🇷🇺 ᴢ: On inflation: anyone, and I mean anyone, knows the government numbers are fake, fraud, lies. We do not need Wall St. speculators, selling something, to tell us.
      [the curse of the End Times. ALL trust is lost – of institutions, authorities, kings, between people. A terrible ordeal, whilst the rule of the Moshiach persists]
      🔻 WS: 🤦‍♂️ You can be so unreasonably obtuse and recalcitrant at times. Go take a walk or something. Clear your mind. Then check out the Chapwood Index when you’ve calmed down.
      🔻 ₦₳V𝚜𝚝é𝚟𝚊 🇷🇺 ᴢ: Not sure what the big deal is. You said that Kobeissi was a benchmark. It isn’t. It’s useless. Garbage.

      That’s it. Not sure what else there is to say?
      🔻 WS: I did NOT say Kobeissi was a benchmark. I was talking about the Consumer Price Index! CPI is total nonsense, but it is benchmark nonsense.

      And besides, the post was just about JPM saying oil was going to spike. It had nothing to do with Kobeissi, per se, whom I do not follow.
      🔻 ₦₳V𝚜𝚝é𝚟𝚊 🇷🇺 ᴢ: I just got back from the lake.

      I don’t care about Chapwood. I knew government inflation numbers were lies a long time ago.

      I just told you we did a nationwide market basket survey weekly.

      This is old news.
      🔻 WS: The Chapwood Index is a nationwide market basket survey, conducted weekly.
      🔻 Gary L: It is the correct measure of inflation. I get the feeling those who are arguing against it have no clue what it is
      🔻 WS: All I was trying to say is that, if the CPI goes from, say, 3% to 5%, it is still a benchmark. Real inflation goes up by at least 66% as well.

      ⭕🤦‍♂️ This is a prime specimen of what passes for logic among the MAGA influencer class.

      Not only is the US now at war with Iran, but they’re also at war with Russia, China, and North Korea. It will remain a hot hybrid war for the time being, but it could easily get out of hand.
      links:
      🔻 Gunther Eagleman™: We. Are. Not. At. War. With. Iran.

      They were airstrikes.
      🔻 hem day: Of course, classic J.D. Vance logic: bombing a country’s nuclear facilities doesn’t mean you’re at war with its people. No no, if you get a Chernobyl in the face, it’s just because America loves you. Nothing says “friendly intentions” quite like triggering a potential radioactive disaster.

      🔻 Sprinter Observer: US Secretary of State Rubio: Iran had enough enriched uranium to make 9-10 bombs. They had it all in one place. Now not so much.
      🔻 Mike Mihajlovic: Is it ignorance, arrogance, or sheer stupidity?
      Who seriously believes that a state like Iran after decades of facing sanctions, cyberattacks, and assassination campaigns would keep all of its enriched uranium stockpiles concentrated in a single location?
      Any nation with a functioning nuclear program and strategic foresight would segment and decentralize storage, use hardened transport containers, often lead-lined and shielded, load materials into ordinary-looking vehicles, like minivans, supply trucks, or refrigerated containers, and disperse them across dozens of sites—some declared, many not.

      We’re not in 1981 Osirak-era targeting logic anymore. This is asymmetric deterrence in the 21st century. Iran almost certainly treats its uranium stocks like any high-value strategic asset: mobile, layered, and difficult to destroy in one strike.

      If there’s a single location being bombed today, it’s likely a symbolic or empty shell, with the real material already relocated, repackaged, or diluted long before.
      🔻 bitquoter: This war isn’t about Nuclear weapons. It’s about destroying Iran, like Lebanon and Syria. It’s about dominance of the empire.
      🔻 Shivan Mahendrarajah: This Marco Rubio; not the brightest bulb. But he’s also selling to MAGA, and they are not the sharpest shoppers

      🔻 ₦₳V𝚜𝚝é𝚟𝚊 🇷🇺 ᴢ: Only because the American people elected them.
      🔻 WS: I didn’t. I’m just here to witness the trainwreck.
      ⭕⁉️ By the way, what happened to all the dopes who were boldly predicting that the US was going to launch massive tactical nuclear strikes against Iranian nuclear sites and leadership?

      Oh, well … I’m sure they’ll be back again soon.
      🔻 Zeeshan: Do you think nukes would be on the table if escalations reach a point where the USA has to make the choice between maintaining a presence in the region (which is perhaps non-negotiable for the USA?) or engaging in a full-on frontal conflict with Iran?
      🔻 WS: What I want is for someone, sometime, to trace for me the path of causal events that lead from nukes going off to a subsequent desired outcome.

      So:

      1. We nuke ’em.
      2. Then what?
      3. Then what?

      And we all live happily ever after.

      ⭕ Confirmed:

      Iran has initiated its bombing of US military bases in the Middle East.

      This is the war Donald Trump has started on behalf on Israel.

      Iran said it has bombed Iraq, Qatar, Bahrein and Kuwait US military bases.

      Strait of Hormuz next.

      Only a world crisis to stop the war on all fronts.
      ⭕ Donald Trump has approved war plans and could potentially cause significant damage to Iran if he decides to proceed. However, Iran has numerous surprises and is expected to respond gradually, likely making the United States regret initiating a conflict when there was no direct attack or threat to American lives
      ⭕ Only a general ceasefire in Gaza, Lebanon, Syria and Iran can spear the Middle East and the world from an economic and military crisis rarely seen in modern history.
      ⭕ Iran IRGC confirmed having attacked the most important US air base in the Middle East, Al Udeid in Qatar.

      No confirmation of US military bases in Iraq attacked
      ⭕ Depending on the US reaction to the Iranian retaliation to the US declaration of war on Tehran, all other Iran’s allies are ready to join in in due course.
      ⭕ All US forces in all bases in the Middle East are on high alert.
      ⭕ The US said it has emptied its largest military base in Doha, Qatar, and that all US personnel has escaped several hours ago.
      ⭕ Iran has no intention of harming Qatar, with which it maintains close, neighboring, and brotherly relations. Iran has indicated that its target is the United States, in response to the latter’s declaration of war.
      The naval war hasn’t started yet. It all depend on what Benjamin Netanyahu will dictate on Donald Trump.
      ⭕ Iran used 42 missiles on al-Udeid US military base in Al-Udeid, the same number of US missiles used against the Iranian nuclear sites in its unlawful attack.
      ⭕ Because the US did not cause any human casualties in its war declaration on Iran, Tehran directed the bombs against Donald Trump and Benjamin Netanyahu’s pride, avoiding US personnel casualties and informing it about the attack before hand, as the US did.
      It seems al-Udeid only was targeted.
      ⭕ Read my tweets before the retaliation: As I was informed, the U.S. was given ample time to run and hide. They knew what was coming.

      All eyes now on the red-hatted narcissist, yanked by the nose by Netanyahu, wondering what move to make next. Either he swallow the hit or…
      ⭕ Either every front (Gaza, Lebanon, Syria and Iran) stands down—or the war escalates without mercy. Netanyahu will break. And the world will hear him scream.
      ⭕ For the second time, Iran challenged the most powerful country in the world, : 2020 and 2025.

      I think Trump will not longer use “beautiful” and “wonderful” for his missiles he launched on Iran.

      Israel is crying now and wants to end the war.
      Iran turned the table of Trump and Netanyahu’s heads.
      ⭕ Iraq announced closing its air space for Iranian missiles (but not for Israeli jets & drones attacking Iran) for fear of an attack on the US bases.

      I really don’t know how people with no sovereignty over their sky “close the air space”. Is it a key they hold somewhere or a zip?
      ⭕ After hitting the US, the loudest rage over Iran isn’t coming from Trump or Netanyahu—it’s from their cheerleaders in the region, foaming at the mouth with hate. Predictable. Pathetic.
      [he’s talking about the mindless concubines of the PetroSheikhs]
      ⭕ Iran will continue bombing Israel. It is not over.
      ⭕ The US confirm: Absolutely no US military base in the Middle East was under Iranian attack… but the Qatar’s largest US military base.
      Now the US knows Iran will use its right of self defence as per the UN charter article 51.

      ⭕ 📝Escort Through the English Channel📝

      For the first time, a Russian military ship openly escorted tankers from the “shadow fleet” through the English Channel. According to Western analysts, since mid-June, the Baltic Fleet corvette “Boiky” has been moving in coordination with two sanctioned tankers – SELVA and SIERRA.

      📌Importantly, such escorts were previously recorded in the Gulf of Finland, and now the escort has gone beyond the Baltic into the key transit zone – the English Channel.

      This is a logical development of the situation: attempts to intercept and arrest tankers continue, and military cover is becoming a necessary practice.

      ➡️Against this background, the issue of increasing the number of escort ships is becoming even more relevant. The Baltic Fleet is not excessive in their number, and the tasks are gradually expanding.

      ❗️In the long term, additional measures will be required: increasing shipbuilding programs, developing infrastructure on key islands, and strengthening coordination with the civilian fleet. Otherwise, the risks of capturing or blocking Russian tankers on international routes will only grow. |media|

      I think this attack is ‘better’ than we’re giving it credit for, it’s less about the U.S. and more about the Arab states in the Persian Gulf, who have enjoyed wealth and safety in exchange for selling their countries out for far too long. There’s a reason Saudi Arabia immediately condemned the attacks.

      This was a message to Gulf countries, that hosting American soldiers and equipment in your countries for no purpose other than to serve Israeli interests will not bring you ‘safety’, in fact it’s the opposite if you keep enabling them and only issue mere statements in support of Iran.

      Qatar has never been attacked. Its citizens have never heard sirens in their entire lives. This should make them think twice about normalization.

      Older Qadr / Emad missiles were used in this operation, which means everything was taken into account as far as being symbolic.

      Most Americans and particularly the stooge “pols” ardently believe the lie that the tactical nuke effects tests # 2 and 3, on Hiroshima and Nagasaki, brought Japan to surrender. They cannot accept the reality that it was the Red Army attacking the Japanese army in Manchuria that convinced the Japanese. So? So these stooges imagine that the bomb will bring Iran to surrender…and that implies they’ll use it. Speaking of stooges…Plan R Turgidson and LeMay

      As I understand it, mines can be selective…even in WW1…they can count ships and be set to explode upon an Nth passing, or more modern sorts can be programmed to explode under a specific ship. Some mines are mobile, similar to a slow torpedo… see Sutton expert chat (posted at previous thread) ….how to close the straits…https://youtu.be/VTly35T4fz0  The mines on Nordstream were triggered by remote acoustical signal…for example.

      ⭕ Important to note:

      Israel & US have used up 20 years worth of interceptor missiles. Their production is not easy or fast.

      Don’t be fooled by their media claims, they urgently needed a cessation of fire as their stockpile was running out.
      ⭕❗️🇮🇷| Iran’s Supreme National Security Council (SNSC) statement:

      Declared that in response to Israeli attacks, Iran’s armed forces have proven their strength and are fully prepared to respond decisively to any future aggression. It says that any aggression will be responded accordingly and all enemy bases—from West Asia to deep inside Israel—are now legitimate targets.

      Full statement:

      🇮🇷| Full statement by the SNSC secretariat:

      To the dear and resilient Iranian people,

      In the wake of the cowardly Zionist aggression, the bravery and sacrifice of your sons in the armed forces of the Islamic Republic of Iran—under the guidance of the Commander-in-Chief—have demonstrated the nation’s deterrent power and decisive response. They expanded the scope of retaliation and delivered a painful blow to the enemy. This response ultimately showed that American and Zionist bases—from West Asia to deep within the occupied territories—are now all potential targets.

      Your vigilance, strategic use of opportunities, steadfast resistance, and unprecedented national unity have thwarted the enemy’s main plan, turned threat into opportunity, and paved the way for the endurance of the soldiers of Islam. It also revealed to the world the extraordinary strength of the devoted fighters—full of initiative and creativity. This strength was evident during the 12 days of bloody resistance and was always prepared to respond appropriately and forcefully to any aggression.

      God’s divine gift throughout this path—along with the balanced conduct, deep understanding, prudent strategy, and patience of the fighters and the families of martyrs and the wounded—was victory over the enemy, the shattering of its image, rejection of the logic of surrender, and the opening of an irreversible path forward.

      Accordingly, the Islamic Republic of Iran declares—consciously and confidently—that its armed forces, backed by the people, are fully prepared to deliver a firm and decisive response to any act of aggression or threat by the enemy, at any time and in any place.

      “And victory is only from Allah, the Almighty, the Wise.”
      ⭕ Quick introductory lesson on SNSC:

      It’s a council with 23 members that vote on national security matters.

      Council is chaired by 14 members of the government (the ministers & head braches & president himself) and, 8 seats consist of the leader’s representative (now, that’s Saeed Jalili & Ahmadian) and chief commanders of the army & IRGC. And the last seat by the Parliament speaker (Ghalibaf).

      Each member has 1 vote to pass a decision.

      In summary the government holds 14 votes out of the 23. Parliament 1 vote, army & IRGC 4 votes, and judiciary 1 vote.
      ⭕ Ceasefire? Confused? Me too. But let’s review:

      One thing clear: There’s no agreement.

      I have some theories, but I will keep them for myself for now.

      •  Trump announced a ceasefire between Iran & Israel, without both anyone saying anything.
      • Iranian FM tweets at 4:20 AM that any attack after 4AM will be met with a response, otherwise no attack from Iran but also no agreement (he tweeted this 20 mins after his own deadline).
      • 1 hour before the ceasefire would kick in: Iran launched several waves of missiles against Israel, with 1 very big impact in Beershaba killing at least 8. Other impacts were censored.
      • Last attack was launched before the “alleged ceasefire” but arrived after the ceasefire.
      • 3 hours later, Israel claims one single missile was launched from Iran; but Iran denied.
      • Now Israel vows to respond on Tehran
      • Iran’s SNSC issued a statement indirectly announcing no attacks but says the finger is on the trigger.
      • So what now? => If Israel does attack on Tehran, then alleged “ceasefire” (that does not exist on paper) will be void and Iran will attack Israel again.
      • But if Israel does not attack Iran and swallows the painful hits, then no attacks for now.

      Khatam al-Anbiya HQ spox:

      “The Zionist regime attacked our centers on Iranian soil in 3 stages until 9AM this morning.”

      “The armed forces had previously announced that they would not leave any aggression unanswered and that this regime would pay a heavy price.”

      — Fars
      ⭕ Iranian missile expert/enthousiast:

      Time is on our side. Iran’s missile production rate has recently multiplied, and a ceasefire or peace agreement could greatly help us recover our defensive and air defense capabilities.

      This war has taught us many valuable lessons that must be implemented. However, the other side has carried out its plans almost flawlessly, and I don’t think they could have done it any better (meaning, they used their most high tech weapons and yet still failed to get Iran on its knees, so Iran resisted very strongly)

      💠@ejmalrai:
      ⭕ The Zionists will never forget what Iran did to them—in Tel Aviv, in Haifa, and across the map. The strikes left scars that no air raid siren can drown out. History will record it: a chapter they won’t be able to erase.

      A ceasefire with no agreement isn’t peace. It’s a pause—a countdown to the next round, whether near or not far off.
      The next 12 hours will determine everything.
      Either the ceasefire holds—or the war reignites.
      I’m betting on the former.

      ⭕ Several Drones hit and destroyed French radars in 3 Iraqi (not US) military installations at Ali Bin Abi Taleb, Balad and al-Taji. Baghdad is not willing to accuse any side.

      ⭕ Iran accepted a ceasefire without any formal agreement or defined terms—merely a temporarily cessation of hostilities, with no conditions, no limitations, and no commitments on either side.

      Before God and all the martyrs, I testify that what I am saying today is not out of emotion or prejudice, but the result of years of careful study, understanding the enemy’s behavior, and living in the context of the field. I never uttered a word unless I believed in its truth and accuracy.

      I emphasize with all my heart: the enemy did not achieve its goals in this war.
      Their main goal was to overthrow the Iranian nation-state, not just to inflict damage or psychological warfare. Eliminating the Islamic Republic’s deterrent power was also on the agenda. But in the end, it was Iran that forced the enemy to accept the ceasefire.

      I am not saying that we did not suffer any damage or that the danger was completely eliminated; but we struck the enemy in a balanced manner – except in the matter of assassinating commanders, which still needs to be compensated.

      We achieved our goals and identified important weaknesses. And this ceasefire is not like Lebanon in “form” (because a resolution was issued by the Security Council), nor in “direction”; because we are not faced with internal divisions [now].

      Let me be clear: if the enemy wins the “war of narratives,” he will immediately violate the ceasefire. On the first day of the ceasefire in Lebanon, I reached Bint Jbeil and even managed to withdraw the wounded; the enemy did not even dare to attack.

      But after the fall of Syria and the victory of the enemy in the war of narratives, the Zionists advanced to “Wadi Al-Hujair”.

      The enemy’s adherence to the ceasefire depends on our power; if we believe that the enemy has been defeated, just as the region’s faith turned after the 33-day war, this time too a new chapter will open in the region and the world.

      But if we ourselves start to propagate our defeat, the enemy will have no commitment to the ceasefire.”

      1. The ceasefire, was requested by the Israeli regime & the US, which is a clear sign of their weakness on the battlefield and their inability to continue the current trajectory of the war with Iran.
      2. Iran reportedly accepted the cessation of fire on condition that it will deliver one final widespread blow to the Israeli regime — a condition the Israeli regime accepted.
      3. Iran’s strikes on “Israel” this morning were extremely intense and inflicted heavy casualties but due to military censorship, you’ve only heard about the Beershaba impact because it’s in a civilian area.
      4. There is no peace between Iran and the Zionist regime. The ceasefire has was accepted by Iran merely to address some deficiencies and shortfalls. Iran remains fully prepared to punish the Zionist regime.

      • Iran would need to be beyond naive to accept or trust any word or action by the US – the US has not spent decades trying to topple Iran amid its regional murder spree to suddenly abandon it – its ENTIRE global aspirations hinge on it – it has used Israel as a conduit to launder its war crimes & provocations through & will continue to;
      • To effect regime change, the US would benefit most by luring Iranian leaders out of cover & striking them, provoking retaliations & further war;

      And what “12th hour”: the one 12 hours after the 6th hour, or is it 12 hours from now?

      And the “24th hour” is a) 24 hours from now, b) 24 hours after the 6th hour or c) 24 hours after the 12th hour? If it’s a), does it therefore mean that it’s 6 hours after the 12th hour, assuming the 12-hour countdown starts 6 hours from now?

      1925 to 1979 iIan was occupied by the West for its oil, via the puppet regime.

      This is 54 years and two generations of total western control.

      I’d say the plot here is very thick beyond anything we can possibly observe at surface level of politics. One thing is for sure: Modern Iran is NOT invincible and  40 years since occupation is not long to build a completely resilient country in a  hostile local environment.

      it took China 100 years for comparison and they were never fully occupied.

      So my take is that China and Russia will intervene one way or another with or without full permission from ye olde Persia.

      The silly chatter ’round the idea that murdering “nuclear scientists” can make it impossible to design and build nuclear weapons is entirely misleading. This has been known to be the case since 1964.

      “The Nth Country Experiment was an experiment conducted by Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory starting in May 1964 that sought to assess the risk of nuclear proliferation. The experiment consisted in paying three young physicists who had just received their PhDs, though they had no prior weapons experience, to develop a working nuclear weapon design, using only unclassified information, and with basic computational and technical support.” (wiki)

      ““three young PhD physicists, working part-time, succeeded in achieving a workable nuclear weapons design in a period of about three years.”” US State Department

      In fact the work to build nuclear bombs is almost entirely engineering, not scientific.

      ““Do-it-yourself” Project Produced “Credible Nuclear Weapon” Design from Open Sources

      Experimenters Developed a Plutonium Weapon Design with Potential for High Explosive Yield”

Since 1964 things have become even easier…and there are methods of isotope separation other than those that are generally used…some rather subtle that might well scale up nicely…that’s not mentioned in the documents, by the way.

        And to give nazis being suicided in Zion, and CONUS, a false sense of accomplishment.

        Like a set of playing cards with mugs of “bad guys” unveiled by Rummy during invasion of Iraq – it helps lemmings focus on the magic act, whilst their future is gleefully sacrificed for the Murder-Suicide.

      ‼️ Iranian Strategy: Death by a Thousand Cuts for Israel

      Iran’s missile strategy appears to be working: initial heavy missile (& drone) barrages drained Israeli interceptors, and now fewer launches are landing more hits.

      This points to better accuracy, degraded defenses, and a shift to inflicting long-term attrition on Israel.

      🔗 Sina Toossi

      📝 In the latest ballistic missile attack, Iran launched approximately 15 missiles, with six impacting various regions across Israel. Signs of depletion in Israel’s air defense systems started to show up, with 60% interception rate.
      ⭕❗️Hebrew Media: ‘While Israel could have continued the war offensively, its defensive capabilities were running dry — there was no way out’
      ⭕‼️Fox News: Acting Navy Chief warns US is using missile interceptors “at an alarming rate” in Mideast

      Senator Brian Schatz (D-HI): “The latest round of conflict in the Middle East utilized, large amounts of munitions to defend Israel from Iranian strikes. Does the Navy currently have all the SM3s it needs for global threats?”

      ADMIRAL JAMES KILBY / NAVAL OPERATIONS ACTING CHIEF: “I’ll take this. We do, sir, but we are to your point, using them at an alarming rate. As you know, those are, missiles procured by the Missile Defense Agency and then delivered to the Navy for our use. And we are using them quite effectively in the defense of Israel.”

      🔗 Jennifer Griffin

      📝 Intel Slava – The reason Israel and the United States agreed to a ceasefire with no agreements on nuclear matters while offering concessions to Iran is simple: the Iranians had exhausted the Israeli air defense network.

      We had multiple reports to this effect in the last few days and Monday was the first time the interception rate had dropped to 50% with the first successful Iranian strike on Israeli power infrastructure, which is a well known weakness for Israel.
      ⭕ Israel’s supply woes extend beyond their looming shortage of interceptors before the ceasefire with Iran; three US officials told NBC that Israel was running short on ammunition amidst 626 days of the war in Gaza and last year’s 56-day ground confrontation with Hezbollah.
      Trump compared the US strikes on Iran to the nuclear bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki during World War II.

      “I don’t want to draw parallels with Hiroshima or Nagasaki, but it is essentially something similar that ended that war. And this ended this war,” the US president said at the NATO summit.

      Let us recall that, according to CNN, Pentagon intelligence has not yet found evidence that Iran’s nuclear facilities have been destroyed.

      But Trump says Israeli intelligence agents were there and saw the destruction for themselves.

      • Iran apologised from Qatar
      • Qatar mediate with Iran
      • Israel thanked Qatar
      • The US said peace is imposed.

      Two critical developments today:

      1. Donald Trump admitted that “Israel was hit badly and suffered great damage” from Iran’s missile strikes—public recognition of the scale and impact Tehran inflicted.
      2. Iran’s parliament has officially shut the door on the IAEA. Director @rafaelmgrossi is now pleading for access to assess nuclear site damage so he can report—presumably—to those still pretending diplomacy is alive.
        [this is best way Persia can dig in the dagger – withdraw from IAEA, ban the bastards esp Grossi, then keep mum and plausible deniability about capabilities and intent. This will shatter nazi narratives and keep them frothing]

      ⭕ Bad news for Donald Trump and Benjamin Netanyahu and someone will get fired:

      US intelligence report said “Iran can regain its enrichment uranium in only a few months and Fordow underground facility is intact. Only the entreace and exists were damaged but easy to remove”.

        • Russia‘s negotiation team was to meet in Constantinople the next day when they unrolled Operation Spiderweb for the first time, daring to strike the heart of Russia at their strategic bomber bases for the first time since she acquired nukes, attempting to decapitate all five bomber bases of one leg of their nuclear triad
        • Iran‘s negotiation team had been due to meet in Oman in two days when the West launched the blitzkrieg on Iran which including murdering the lead Iranian negotiator, many top scientists and attempting a complete regime change decapitation operation (an Iranian Pearl Harbor)

      launching stand-off missiles packing at most a hundred or two kgs of explosives is quite different than eating a ton or two of Sijjils and Khoramshahrs. Even though Tehran was focused on, it is by itself so huge, the metro almost hosting 17M, and the core city 707 km² (almost double Gaza’s 365 km²!). Prof Marandi said he could neither hear nor feel some of the bombardment in other parts of Tehran from his home.. It would take Team Zion years to Gaza all of Iran, when they would have mere weeks of survival in their turn, when Iran resumes the Demolition… and this is if even the entire western air forces join in the savaging, and Iran has no help from friends. The conventional aerial bombing of Persia is not gonna work, like in the heyday of Bomber Harris or the madman Buck LeMay. It ain’t gonna work on any of the massive Heartland states. Nuke or Kneel. And it still remains a Murder-Suicide even then

But dismantling the unholy project of the Moshiach, set up with calculation over centuries, is Persia’s divine Mission in the End Times. It will certainly atone for being the second iteration of Harlot Babylon]


      right down the hatch, roasting a buncha zionazis


      💠 @Yemen | Bab-el-Mandeb:
      ⭕ ✍ Many who think that the war currently unfolding in Iran, resulting from the Israeli military aggression against Iran, is limited to the Israeli entity and Iran alone are making a significant mistake. What is happening is a natural extension of a series of troubling events, from the suspicious incidents of September 11, 2001, to the Iran-Iraq War, Iraq’s invasion of Kuwait, NATO’s military intervention in Libya and the overthrow of its regime, the siege of Syria and the dispatch of tens of thousands of armed terrorists to incite chaos and topple its government, the invasion and occupation of Iraq, and the so-called Arab Spring revolutions, to the genocide of the Palestinian people in Gaza and the West Bank and the bombardment of its resistance factions, as well as strikes on resistance fronts in Lebanon, the besiegement of resistance movements in Iraq, and the overthrow of the Syrian regime. Finally, we arrive at the Israeli aggression, fully supported by the United States and the West, against Iran. All of these events, among others, are interconnected links in a single chain, with the overarching strategic goal of redrawing the entire map of the Arab region from the Atlantic to the Gulf, along with the surrounding regional areas of Iran, Pakistan, Turkey, and Afghanistan. This plan, referred to by the U.S. after the dubious events of September 11, 2001, is known as the “Greater Middle East” or “New Middle East” project, announced in a global press conference by U.S. Secretary of State Colin Powell and National Security Advisor Condoleezza Rice.

      All of the aforementioned events are merely steps toward implementing the new imperialist Zionist project of the “Greater Middle East,” with the Israeli entity positioned as the exclusive agent of American Western imperialism and the tool executing its agendas in the region and the world. This is to crown Israel as the absolute leader of this project, under the strategy of the dominant American Western imperialist powers, with their oversight and guidance.

      It is true that the Israeli aggression, fully supported by the U.S. and its Western allies, is aimed at Iran and is designed to disarm it and overthrow its regime, as was done in Libya, Syria, and Iraq before. This is because Iran represents the strongest, most important, and largest obstacle with the strategic capabilities and vision to confront and resist this new colonial project. Their hope is that by overthrowing Iran, or at least by imposing a comprehensive economic and military blockade to suffocate it and destroy its military capabilities—particularly its missile and drone systems, in addition to its peaceful nuclear program—they can begin preparing for the declaration of their Greater Middle East project to replace the conditions established by the old colonial powers (France and Britain) according to the Sykes-Picot Agreement, which has nearly run its course.

      This is the projected scenario based on observing the surrounding events and its strategic goal. However, a significant question remains: Will it succeed, or will it face obstacles, difficulties, and resistances that the planners of this new Zionist imperialism did not foresee, causing its trajectory to falter and shatter the intoxication of victories that have blinded it to a new reality that contradicts what they imagined and rushed to impose with brute force and blind arrogance?

      The outcome of the aggressive war imposed by the Zionist imperialist powers on Iran will soon answer this question, especially if we consider that this war involves and intersects with various apparent or hidden international and regional forces!
      ⭕ 🇾🇪 The official spokesperson for Ansar Allah, Mohammed Abdelsalam: We salute Iran—its leadership, people, and army—for engaging with strength, bravery, and determination in the 12-day war, making significant sacrifices. This is the price for the will of independence and freedom and principled stances on the Palestinian cause. The daily and devastating missile strikes against the entity stand as a proud testament that Iran, as the first Islamic country with its own military arsenal, confronted an enemy armed with the latest Western weapons. The battle was not only against Israel, as a forward American base, but also against the United States and other Western countries that sided with the aggressors.

      Iran’s steadfastness in its peaceful nuclear rights and principled positions confirms the enemy’s failure to achieve its declared objectives. The crimes committed against its scientific and military personnel, along with the bombing of various facilities, will not prevent Iran from exercising its legitimate rights.

      Iran’s heroic resistance to Israeli aggression has given the nation hope for the possibility of resisting the enemy and refusing to submit to its terms. It sends a powerful message that the violation of the region will come at a cost, and that Israel is incapable of engaging in any battle without American support.

      What protects the sovereignty of the countries in the region and restores their dignity is for them to leave behind divisions and unite on common ground, realizing that they are all threatened by an entity that the U.S. wants to use as a heavy-handed tool against any nation aspiring for strength, dignity, and independence.
      ⭕ 🇾🇪 Great Yemen was subjected to nearly a hundred daily airstrikes by American stealth aircraft including B2s, F35s, and F16s, along with Tomahawk missiles from the sea and Israeli attacks. Yet, it did not collapse, waver, or surrender, thank God. Instead, it has intensified its missile and drone assaults on the occupying entity, as well as on American aircraft carriers and warships, at a high pace, until they raised the white flag and withdrew in humiliation, without any embellishments or gloss.
      ⭕ 🔴 Breaking News 🔴

      A special source from Gaza reports to Bab al-Mandab channel that the resistance has successfully carried out an operation to capture occupation soldiers in Gaza.
      ⭕ We reassure our brothers in Gaza, from the heart of Yemen, that you are not alone, O leaders of humanity, O people. Allah is with you, and Yemen stands with you, and has not abandoned you.
      ⭕ A loud explosion reverberated throughout the occupied city of Jaffa, known as Zionist Tel Aviv.
      [This was 25th]
      Mohammed Ali Al-Houthi, a member of the Supreme Political Council in Yemen, stated: “Diplomacy has failed to stop the massacre in Gaza. The path to victory is: ‘And prepare against them whatever you are able of power.'”
      ⭕ As part of Operation “David’s Stones,”
      Al-Qassam Brigades have released footage of an ambush targeting two Zionist military transports, which the enemy confirmed resulted in the death of 7 soldiers, including an officer, near the Ali bin Abi Talib Mosque in the Ma’an area south of Khan Younis, Gaza Strip.
      #Flood_of_Al-Aqsa
      [Ali bin Abi Talib was the son-in-law and cousin of the Islamic Prophet, and direct ancestor of Khamenei, Nasrallah, the Al Houthis, Al Sistani (Iraq), and i think even the current Iranian FM. Also Laith Marouf, Prof Marandi and the current PM of Pakistan. It is increasingly a Club on the opposing side too, albeit of soldiers for the good. Ali was hero of the battle of Khaibar/Khaybar (another Persian arrow) that ended the Jewish domination of the Arabian peninsula. The Iranians named the Zhulfiqar missile after his sword of the same name]
      ⭕ The footage released by the Al-Qassam Brigades from the Khan Younis operation, which resulted in the death of an officer and six soldiers, along with the injury of seventeen others, will strike the leadership of the occupation army like a thunderbolt.

      The bravery of the Palestinian fighter is beyond description. The fighter who threw the second explosive device inside the troop transporter while returning confidently stated: “We will continue to hit them until they withdraw.”

      A resistance with such faith will never raise a white flag.

      [and that is the last betrayal of Russkie that shall cost her dearly. Iran is correct to ignore Russkie, and to go shopping in China.

      ⭕ Israel said it “will not withdraw from the five remaining positions along the southern Lebanese border until Hezbollah is disarmed.”

      This is how Israel gives a perfect reason for the resistance to free its land by armed struggle, as per the UN charter, Article 51.
      ⭕ Israel estimates indicate that the cost may rise to $20 billion, with damage affecting the economy, society, and strategic infrastructure.

      The Compensation Fund of the Israeli Tax Authority stated that it had received around 39,000 claims for direct material damage resulting from the Iranian strikes inside the Israeli-occupied cities. These claims included 30,809 for damage to buildings, 3,713 for damage to vehicles, and 4,085 for damage to equipment and other property. In this context, the Hebrew newspaper Yedioth Ahronoth noted that estimates suggest thousands of additional buildings were also damaged.
      ⭕ All indications lead to one outcome: The US is fully aware that Iran’s program has not been destroyed but has no intention to confess it overtly. Instead, the US administration is praising its B-2 and its bombs and the President’s “achievement”.

      I have never seen members of the US administration praise their president in every sentence and on every platform where they deliver a speech or an interview. They all understand how a narcissist operates in his head, and they feed him what he likes to hear. This is not how decision-makers should operate, where they cannot deliver the reality, but what their president wants them to say.
      ⭕ Now, Donald Trump wants to intervene to “save Benjamin Netanyahu” from his corruption accusations. The “only democracy in the Middle East” is blowing up its entire justice system, and it would not be surprising if Netanyahu is self-appointed as the “King of Israel”.
      ⭕ Donald Trump said he will bomb Iran again if its nuclear program is active again. This time, if Trump bombs Iran, there will be no warning courtesy, and Iran will work on its missile program faster than ever. It is an invitation for Iran to become more powerful.
      ⭕ Israel violated Lebanon’s sovereignty when an occupation force advanced to the village of Hula and blew up a house. How long before the resistance retaliates in the face of a weak government and army, both of which are incapable of protecting their citizens?

      Two nuclear-armed powers attacked Iran.

History will record that the strongest and nuclear-armed don’t always prevail.
      Sayed Ali Khamenei is correct that Israel was about to be destroyed. Read this:

      Donald Trump: “We saved Israel (from Iran), and now we shall save Benjamin Netanyahu (from corruption cases against him).”

      This statement confirms that Israel was in serious trouble—and that the U.S. stepped in not from strength, but to request a ceasefire, asking Qatar to mediate in exchange for sanctions concessions.
      ⭕ Syria has fallen into Israel’s arms. “Congratulations” to all the Palestinians.
      ⭕ This U.S. administration is bending over backwards to reinforce Donald Trump’s narrative that Iran’s nuclear program has been destroyed. In response, Iran might be tempted to allow @rafaelmgrossi to inspect the 408 kg of 60% enriched uranium at a new location, only to relocate it again to an undisclosed safe site. A calculated move to expose the lie for what it is.
      ⭕ Donald Trump triumphantly announced that the U.S. has jets that can fly, hailing it as a “great, beautiful and wonderful achievement.” Next up: fire is hot, water is wet, and gravity still works. Truly, a golden age of discovery by an absolutely exceptional US President.
      ⭕ For one billion dollars, I think the @CNN can have access to the Fordow nuclear site.

      Or

      Donald Trump removes more sanctions, and no one has access to Fordow for two months.

      Repeat it often—history will.

      ⭕🤔 I find it very telling that, in the past two days, the Iranians are celebrating as though their national football team just won the World Cup, whereas the Israelis are, almost without exception, an ashen-faced, shell-shocked people.

      There has been a profound sea-change.

      Iran galvanized it’s populations support around a common enemy they held off and were able to inflict damage directly to.
      🔻 LostInBogota: Israel is a microcosm of America in many ways. While Israel was fighting every country they could a throw a stick at, their enemies quietly upgraded all their defensive weapons, waiting for the day they knew would come. And it did.

      America did he same thing, fighting for 20+ years on useless wars, while our arch adversaries quietly upgraded and invested massively in new and much more advanced weapons systems – Russia, China, Iran, NK…

      This is the true cost of never-ending wars. They distract from strategic interests. They blind us to the true threats.

      We will never recover. And neither will Israel. 20 years is a long time for military technology. We’ve both lost our edge and our unrivaled superiority.

      And despite what the ignorant morons say – the same idiots that thought Israel/US would clobber Iran, while I was issuing stark warnings that this time was different – America is no longer the undisputed king of the hill.

      Ignorance and delusional debate might be fun for bar-drinking banter, but it’s deadly in actual war.

      retweet:
      🔻 Armchair Warlord: Now that the ceasefire seems to have solidified, my thoughts on the Twelve-Day War between Israel and Iran.

      As an initial matter, no armistice that leaves Iran with a direct path to nuclear arms by Christmas can be considered a victory for Israel. And that’s where we are⬇️

      Let’s run through this.

      1. First and foremost, this war was an act of entirely unprovoked aggression by Israel, assisted – at least according to Trump, who may or may not be telling the truth about the matter – by American perfidy in conducting bad-faith negotiations with the Iranians designed only to increase their vulnerability to attack. This isn’t even a matter of controversy, the Israelis haven’t even tried to claim they had a casus belli and Trump’s said on the record that he coordinated with them. This action by the Trump Administration dishonored the United States of America.

      2. This was Israel’s “big show” against Iran. Its results did not meet the effort expended. The most effective weapon the Israelis had wasn’t their vaunted Air Force but instead an elaborately constructed attack network inside Iran courtesy of Mossad – an attack network that is now gone and which likely cannot be reconstructed. To use a hacking analogy, Israel burned all of their “zero-day” exploits in Iran in the last two weeks. Infrastructure can be repaired, weaponry can be replaced, but they’re not going to be able to reconstruct this attack network.

      3. For all of Israel’s talk of taking down Iran’s air defense system, the war was almost entirely fought with standoff weapons on both sides. The Israelis flew drones into Iran – and lost a lot of them. They do not appear to have risked their manned aircraft flying “downtown” except in marginal cases. Reports of Israeli aircraft operating with impunity deep in Iran appear to have been misidentification of Iranian Air Force planes at best and propaganda at worst.

      4. Both sides’ stockpile of standoff munitions appears to have been relatively limited – even with the US likely backstopping Israel with cruise missiles late in the war. This explains the rather limited tempo of strikes on both sides after the first few days far better than claims the Israelis had somehow “suppressed” Iran’s missile forces – claims the Israelis “substantiated” with dozens of videos of the same drone strike.

      4.a.This also, by the way, explains why Hezbollah seems to have had so many fewer rockets available during Israel’s abortive incursion into Lebanon last year than had generally been believed. In an ironic twist and contrary to (consistently wrong about everything!) brOSINT reporting, it seems that it’s the Russians with the bottomless doom stockpile of missiles and the Iranians had relatively few on hand.

      5. Iran demonstrated a consistent capability to pierce Israeli missile defenses and damage or destroy Israeli infrastructure and combat systems – several IDF air defense missile batteries were in fact struck and destroyed on video in this war. While the reverse is obviously true, given the respective sizes of the combatants Israel would have had to be destroying Iranian critical infrastructure at a rate of approximately ten times what they themselves were suffering just to break even. This did not happen. In fact Iranian “white” civil-use nuclear sites – tertiary targets, militarily speaking – absorbed much of the IAF’s wrath.

      6. Tying into my point above, there’s little indication that even Iranian “nuclear gray sites” such as Fordow or the Natanz bunker were meaningfully damaged in the war. The damage that can be seen on the ground is simply inconsistent with the use of earthquake bombs as claimed by Trump and the Pentagon – although the polite fiction that the sites were destroyed is perhaps helpful to keep the peace. There’s little indication the US or Israel even has a clear idea of where Iran’s true “nuclear black sites” are actually located, let alone that they effectively struck them during the war.

      7. Which leads directly into the point I made upfront. As near as anyone can tell – and if they don’t already have them – Iran simply has a straight-line path to nuclear warheads at this point. Their enrichment infrastructure, stockpile of highly enriched uranium, and the black sites at which the work would be done to finish enrichment and manufacture warheads all appear to be intact. And the war that Netanyahu has been threatening for decades to prevent an Iranian nuclear breakout just happened… and succeeded in perhaps disrupting Iran’s timetable by a few weeks.

      8. The American role in all of this is… well, perhaps “mysterious” is being generous. “Schizophrenic” may be more accurate. Tying the arc of Trump’s Truth Social pronunciamentos together with observed actions on the ground gives one the impression that the Trump Administration wrote Netanyahu a blank check in Iran, closely coordinated the road to war with the Israeli government… and then did an about-face when an avalanche of criticism poured in from the American public and it became clear the Iranian state was far from the Syriaesque house of cards that I’m sure Netanyahu painted it as.

      9. All of this means that the way forward for Iran is, for once, largely in the hands of the Iranian government. This ties into a broader point of analysis I’ve touched on several times, which is the Iranian regime’s move from being a disruptor-state in permanent revolution towards geopolitical normalcy, industrialization and national growth. BRICS isn’t a maniacs’ club. To do this they’ve largely cut loose their constellation of “Axis of Resistance” proxies and reoriented their posture towards conventional defensive deterrence. And, well, it wasn’t pretty but I think Israel and the US did in fact get deterred in the end.

      10. Very conveniently for anyone in Iran wanting to “normalize” the state and the military going forward, the IRGC took a beating in this war both in terms of raw attrition among its senior leadership and in terms of organizational credibility as a decisive deterrent against Israel. Almost like a lot of people got hung out to dry for blowing Syria and failing to take responsibility, but I digress. The logical way to develop Iranian power and prestige going forward isn’t just nuclear warheads but the development of a strong conventional military and intelligence apparatus – something that has sat on the back burner for decades while the IRGC got infiltrated by Mossad and wrote an entire encyclopedia on military gimmicks.

      11. This is paradoxically at least somewhat positive for Israeli security going forward. An Iran with a weakened and discredited IRGC, that is integrated into global economic and political systems, is an Iran that will not be seeking confrontation with Israel. It will merely look quite a bit different than Netanyahu’s preferred solution of setting everywhere in the Middle East that hasn’t been subverted into an Israeli proxy on fire.

      So who won? Well, I don’t think Iran won – but Israel sure lost.

      Topical meme to close.

      Excellent discussion by Alex Krainer with Nima. He goes out on some limbs and personally I agree with him. If you ignore everything Trump says – and I beat my head against the wall trying to advise friends and colleagues to do this – and ONLY look at what happens on the ground, there are significant things happening. Alex nails some of them down. The coming week will show more.

      Remarking that these two claims are contradictory…

      “Unlike a conventional land-based bomb, you won’t see a crater from the impact because they’re designed to burrow deep and then detonate.”

      and

      “One of the pilots who dropped the bombs on Fordow told me it was the brightest explosion he had ever seen.”

      If the bombs detonate  in a deep burrow, how then could a pilot see the explosion? Note also that both claims may be false. They cannot both be true.

        Hi emerson. I don’t know. Those slick videos may be true, may understate, may overstate. It is sad, how much of this Apocalypse is conducted in the shadows. Not by mutual agreement – the western side, which long ago chose to suicide their peoples, do not bother to inform, and the other side – who can overcome the Mighty Wurlitzer’s volume and grip? And culturally, they do not fight such dirty media wars and eschew much public posturing.

        And I think, like Russia’s pretend “negotiations” the silence from the other side is an off-ramp, for the demented to stop the global conflagration. One can back off from that publicly not acknowledged, even if most of the global deciders and intellects see it.. the majority of the folks worldwide appear blissfully ignorant (how I envy them! I gained many grey hairs since corona!)

        “And as it was in the days of Noah, so it will be also in the days of the Son of Man: They ate, they drank, they married wives, they were given in marriage, until the day that Noah entered the ark, and the flood came and destroyed them all.”

        We do have clues that Russia and China “entered the chat”. Off top of my head, and far from inclusive:

        • unprecedented strong language by both, at UNSC and Foreign Ministries, denouncing the illegality of both Anglo-Zionists
        • Pakistani voentorg into Iran, made only possible by China; otherwise Pakistan, itself under the gun of a Murder-Suicide by India, would not be able to send even a single bullet, given its own needs
        • Pakistani DM’s open admission they were proxies of USUK terror wars, during India Round One. This indicates they left the western camp, now tied to new Primakov RICs
        • Pakistani DM’s insult to the Pahlavi scion (“imperial whore”) – again, openly running against Empire, indicating China’s behind them. Iran is no mere country – she’s Pakistan’s direct neighbor. To commit so openly against the potential new regime indicates the totalen fight is on from both sides
        • Chinese planes landing in Iran at beginning of Zionazi aggression on Iran, when the entire airspace was sealed to flights
        • Chinese signals ship docked at Bandar Abbas in Persian Gulf during the war, whilst the US Navy scrammed
        • Chinese BeiDou’s valuable contribution, leading to the shocking accuracy of Persian arrows (CEP < 10m). Otherwise those heavy ballistic missiles would have caused unimaginable civilian losses, which Zion did NOT experience.
        • Iranian DM in a Chinese warjet cockpit in China, shopping for goodies, the very day after pause in the West-Iran war. Of course, it is impossible for Iranians to be so quickly trained in the entirely new platforms. Expect Chinese and Pakistani aviators to be vacationing inside Persia, the way western ones do inside F16s/Rafaels in 404…
        • China moving quietly to link the Yuan to gold in last day (saw somewhere)? This indicates the spoils of won wars are already being distributed, as Petrodollar is being gleefully vivisected

        Russia has taken a back seat, yet may be still involved, per Pepe. We may get to know in the next life. And Lavrov denounced the IAEA’s criminal complicity and sneered they brought upon themselves Iran’s next predictable steps.

        So there appears a division of labor. As Russia is still busy in Europe against the entire demented lot, it has been largely China’s turn to step up, with whatever Iran needs. Mostly in defensive/ISR/diplomatic/economic, and replenishment via the handy neighbor and land bridge of Pakistan. They’re doing it.

      Approximately 100 U.S. troops have been deployed in Israel with two THAAD batteries since 2024 to intercept Iranian and Yemeni missiles.

      To defend against just one of the 22 waves of Operation True Promise 3, the U.S. military used 39 THAAD interceptors, while Israelis used more than 40 ‘Arrow’ missiles.

      A 2021 U.S. Department of Defense press briefing revealed that only 41 THAAD interceptors were ordered for that year, bringing the global total to 625 by the end of 2021. It is unclear how many exist in total currently.

But as a people, our basic premise is very simple and straightforward: we know our worth, value our independence, and never allow anyone else to decide our destiny.

          If President Trump is genuine about wanting a deal, he should put aside the disrespectful and unacceptable tone towards Iran’s Supreme Leader, Grand Ayatollah Khamenei, and stop hurting his millions of heartfelt followers.

          The Great and Powerful Iranian People, who showed the world that the Israeli regime had NO CHOICE but to RUN to “Daddy” to avoid being flattened by our Missiles, do not take kindly to Threats and Insults.

      Ignore what Donald Trump is saying. He has demonstrated a total lack of credibility. If the US and Israel were confident that Iran’s nuclear and missile programs had been destroyed or setback for years, they would have finished off Iran and changed the ruling system. Their plan failed, and what is upsetting both the US and Israel is the realisation that Iran is reorganising its missile production and its enriched uranium has been removed to safe locations. If Iran announced in the next month its return to enriching uranium, both Trump and Netanyahu would be crucified domestically.

      The Israeli media is shocked by the accuracy and intensity of Iran’s ballistic missiles, confirming that the army is forbidding the release of crucial information about many military locations and central bases that have been hit. Furthermore, the Weissman Institute director confirmed Iran hit the scientist and not the dormitory building, causing around $500 million in damage with a missile costing less than $1 million.

      Any Twitterati undermining the consequences of Iran’s missiles on Israel, invite them to read the Israeli media.

      While Israel refuses to sign the Non-Proliferation Treaty and blocks inspections of its military nuclear program, it continues to enjoy full backing from Western powers. Its nuclear arsenal grows unchecked.

      At the same time, Israel has launched multiple wars against its neighbours and is internationally recognised as an occupying power. Its actions in the Palestinian territories routinely violate international humanitarian law, with credible accusations of war crimes.

      The trustworthy source of instability in the Middle East is not Iran’s nuclear file, but the impunity granted to Israel. The danger lies not only in Tel Aviv’s arsenal, but in the global silence that enables it.

      WestDeliberately’ Appointing Nazi Descendants to Leadership Positions, Russian Foreign Ministry Says

      On Thursday, the Daily Mail newspaper reported that the grandfather of the first ever female chief of the United Kingdom’s Secret Intelligence Service (MI6), Blaise Metreweli, was Constantine Dobrowolski, a Nazi spy known as “The Butcher.”

      “There is obviously a neo-Nazi trend: Friedrich Merz [German Chancellor], Annalena Baerbock [former German Foreign Minister], Chrystia Freeland [Canadian Internal Trade Minister], Salome Zourabichvili [former Georgian President]. Now the head of MI6, Blaise Metreweli, can be added to the list. Someone has been deliberately and consciously appointing descendants of Nazis to leadership positions in the countries of the ‘collective West’,” Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova said on Telegram.
      ⭕❗️Iran will no longer allow the head of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) Rafael Grossi to its nuclear facilities, Mehr news reported, citing the deputy speaker of the Iranian parliament Hamidreza Hajibabaei

      He added that Tehran will also not agree to the installation of CCTV cameras at these facilities

      🤔 The US strike on Iran was staged theater.

      It was staged because the Pentagon accurately assessed its acute risk and dubious reward.

      They were not taking any chances.

      To me, this is the most salient strategic revelation of all.

      The empire is weak, and now everybody knows.
      🔻 𝙏𝙝𝙚 𝘾𝙝𝙖𝙨𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙂𝙝𝙤𝙨𝙩𝙨 𝙋𝙤𝙙𝙘𝙖𝙨𝙩: I have no proof but why would the Pentagram send in B2s risking a loss and captured pilots?
      🔻 WS: I am far from convinced they flew any B-2s to Iran. I think all they did was strike a deal with the Iranians to throw a few dozen air-launched and sea-launched cruise missiles at relatively meaningless targets, and then let Iran return the favor — and everyone claims victory.
      🔻 Deplorable Alpaca: What are the 6 holes at Fordow that we in satellite photos then?
      🔻 WS: Didn’t you watch the Pentagon’s super-duper briefing yesterday? It wasn’t SIX holes. IT WAS JUST TWO! And the greatest pilots of all time dropped six bombs perfectly into each of the two holes. Greatest military operation in human history!!! 🤦‍♂️

      The book points out that Iran presents a “perilous challenge”. What it doesn’t do is deny the Military presence.
      🔻 WS: The US Navy literally abandoned 5th Fleet HQ last week, and evacuated every last ship out of the Persian Gulf.

      The US Navy cannot operate in the Persian Gulf in a wartime scenario.
      🔻 The Herefordian: You seem intent on absolutes.
      It hasn’t abandoned the HQ.
      That an evac took place reveals the limitations of it’s readiness for a wartime scenario I agree.
      I have largely agreed with much of your assessments but your claim that U.S. cannot project power militarily is delusional.
      🔻 WS: The US Navy could not operate in the Persian Gulf in a wartime scenario against Iran. It has become axiomatic, and they know it. That’s why they vacated the Gulf post haste in the face of a war against Iran.
      📜The Fleeting Mirage of Imagined Supremacy
      🔻 The Herefordian: I read your piece.
      My claim is that the U.S. Navy has the capacity to operate in the Persian Gulf if it so chooses. You seem intent on expanding the claim for some reason. I have no idea why.
      🔻 WS: For well over a year, the US Navy was not able to operate within ~1000 km of Yemen. They were pinned in the northern Red Sea, and the Yemeni chased away TWO CSGs in succession.

      The US Navy could NOT operate in the Persian Gulf in a wartime scenario against Iran. Period.
      🔻 The Herefordian: Let me ask you, do you believe that the U.S. flew B2’s over Iranian airspace and dropped that ordnance?
      If yes, was Iran pre-warned?
      Did Iran have the capacity to prevent that sortie if you believe it took place?
      🔻 WS: You obviously are unfamiliar with me, and what I have written over the past two weeks regarding the Iran War.

      No, I do not believe either Israeli or US aircraft overflew Iranian airspace. It was all stand-off missiles and drones, start to finish.
      🔻 The Herefordian: That was a political decision, not a military one.
      I really do not understand your refusal to accept that.
      🔻 WS: Nonsense. It was 100% military.

      And I just realized you’re a freshly minted distraction bot. LXXVII?
      🔻 The Herefordian: You keep pressing a different point.
      This is not difficult.
      If the U.S. decided to commit to wartime operational Naval deployments inside the Persian Gulf, it has the ability to do so.
      I am stating military capacity fact.
      You are conflating that with political policy.
      🔻 WS: No. You simply refuse to accept this hard reality: it is a material, logistical, and geographic impossibility for the US Navy to operate in the Persian Gulf in a wartime scenario against Iran. Iran has fire supremacy over the Strait of Hormuz, and every square inch of the Gulf.

      How is this even possible? None of this makes sense.
      🔻 WS: Iran can jam GPS. But even with active GPS, it would not be possible to drop a half-dozen GBU-57s into a single hole slightly larger than the diameter of the bomb itself. It is ridiculous nonsense that they are making that claim.
      🔻 Armchair Warlord: If Hegseth actually pushed this claim then it’s mostly just evidence the Pentagon staffers are lying to him and he hasn’t caught on yet.
      🔻 WS: Either way, there are now millions of people around the world who seriously believe that 6 B-2s, flying as high as an airliner, each dropped two 30,000 lb bombs that hit inside a pair of <5m holes, penetrated 100 m of rock and concrete, and blew up Iran’s nuclear capability. 🤦‍♂️

      To be fair to Trump his interest in Iran not getting nukes well predates his Presidential run. Seen all sorts of wild theories about him being blackmailed via Epstein etc. Though as he appears to have run Miss Universe as his own honeytrap for the indiscreet I suspect any interest of his in Epstein was professional.

      There’s likely still an awful lot we don’t know about the last few weeks though the possibility that Israel is simply not viable without Iran being overpowered makes for some interesting political problems. His base wouldn’t forgive him if he does, his Senators wouldn’t forgive him if he doesn’t.

      Hence the internal military calculus on both sides would make for interesting reading. Iran is acting like a great power regionally at least. If it’s a bluff then it’s one hell of a good one.

      Specifically, if it’s called, it would require naval supremacy and a lot of boots on the ground. An air campaign alone would not be enough

      🔻 Armchair Warlord: While a bloody video, this also demonstrates my point about the “drone wall” – it takes many antitank drones to kill an armored vehicle and their rate of fire is low.

      Single vehicles get swarmed and picked apart. Massed forces will saturate the drone teams and bull through.
      🔻 WS: I agree entirely with your argument in the context of the current firepower of these small drones. But I think the battlefield evolution will be to more potent drones rather than to whatever “massed forces” can be assembled in opposition to them.
      🔻 Para: especially because “masses” of drone swarms require thicker frequency channels to control and are therefore easier to neutralize with electronic warfare. (let alone EMP weapons that are quickly becoming more than just theoretical)
      🔻 WS: These are fiber-optic drones.

      🔻 Para: yeah, but usually the huge “drone swarms” people often speak of are the fully wireless ones. fiber optic ones i imagine won’t have much use in that context.

      ⭕ 🇺🇸”Debt Slavery” and “GOP Suicide.” The US Senate today passed a controversial bill to cut spending and raise the debt ceiling. It has already been criticized by Elon Musk.

      After the vote in the Senate, Musk said that the bill “increases the debt ceiling by $5 trillion, the largest increase in history, and pushes America down the path to debt slavery.”

      “The latest Senate bill will destroy millions of American jobs and cause massive strategic harm to our country!” Musk wrote in X. He also called the initiative “completely insane and destructive,” noting that it “gives handouts to industries of the past while seriously damaging industries of the future.”

      In addition, in his opinion, supporting this initiative could have political consequences: “Polls show that this bill is political suicide for the Republican Party.” Let us recall that it was because of this “big and beautiful law,” as Trump calls it, that Musk publicly quarreled with the US President. However, the billionaire later said that he had overreacted.

      In May, the document was approved by the House of Representatives, meaning that only Trump’s signature remains.

      🔻 Rina Lu🇷🇺: Operation “Vatican Corridor” (or “Monastery”)

      This covert smuggling operation involved Cardinal Giovanni Battista Montini, then Vatican Undersecretary of State and later Pope Paul VI. He oversaw the use of Catholic infrastructure: monasteries, seminaries, and dioceses – to shelter and move war criminals south toward Genoa, where they were shipped to Latin America under false identities.

      Montini personally communicated with U.S. officials and coordinated logistics via trusted Church agents. According to declassified OSS and CIC documents, his office functioned as an “unofficial channel for protected transit” not only for Germans and Italians, but especially for Croatian Ustaša officials, whose Catholic affiliation and ideological alignment with the Church made them a priority for Vatican-sponsored escape routes.

      The broader network of ratlines also facilitated the evacuation of Axis collaborators from Austria, Hungary, Romania, France, and even Francoist Spain all under the larger umbrella of anti-communist realignment. The Vatican’s goal was to preserve a transnational conservative Catholic elite that could oppose Soviet influence worldwide.

      Main Destinations of Nazi Fugitives via Vatican Ratlines

      🔸 Argentina
      (the main destination thousands of Nazis and Ustaše officials resettled here)
      🔸 Brazil
      🔸 Paraguay
      🔸 Chile
      🔸 Bolivia
      🔸 Uruguay
      🔸 Venezuela
      🔸 Spain
      (under Franco both a destination and a key transit hub)
      🔸 Portugal
      (a neutral country, often used as a temporary safe haven)
      🔸 Syria
      (sheltered some individuals via French Mandate connections)
      🔸 Canada
      🔸 United States
      (mainly through Operation Paperclip or the Displaced Persons Act, used to import “anti-communist specialists”)
      [note the Cardinal Montini, then Vatican Undersecretary of State, and in charge of the supranational nazi ratline to the western hemisphere, later became Pope Paul VI …. Perhaps during the day the last month when Putin spoke on the same day to Orange and the Pope, he informed them the entire West now comes as a single package?? There would be no cobblestone left unturned, nor ratlines permitted this time, and to calculate and marshal their side accordingly?? The Age of Plausible Deniability ends]
      🔻 Rina Lu🇷🇺: The Order of Malta: Deep Vatican

      The smuggling operation relied not only on rogue priests but on The Sovereign Military Order of Malta (SMOM) – a Catholic lay religious order with international diplomatic status, wealth, and influence.

      🔸The Knights of Malta had access to passports, safe-conducts, and bank networks, and provided cover identities for SS officers and fascist collaborators.
      🔸The Order’s sovereign status gave it diplomatic immunity and control over communications, which it used to shield fugitives.

      U.S. historian John Loftus, former DOJ investigator, writes:

      “The Vatican ratlines were supervised by members of the Knights of Malta… with full knowledge and cooperation of senior church officials and Western intelligence.”

        IMEC was always a mirage. An impossibility. India cannot replace a sovereign resurgent China on the world stage. No one can.

      The Red Thread from Ukraine to Iran
      By Francesco Sylos Labini
      June 29, 2025

      General Wesley Clark, former commander of the NATO bombing campaign against the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia during the Kosovo War and Supreme Allied Commander Europe from 1997 to 2000, revealed a disturbing detail in a well-known 2007 interview: shortly after the September 11, 2001 attacks, he learned within the Pentagon of a strategic plan to launch military operations against seven countries over five years. The targeted countries were Iraq, Syria, Lebanon, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, and Iran. According to Clark, military interventions aimed at reshaping the geopolitical landscape of the Middle East and other strategic regions were outlined in the immediate aftermath of the 9/11 attacks. Iran appears as the final target on this list: all the other countries have already experienced profound upheavals, regime changes, and devastating civil wars. The export of democracy, much like the current narrative of the Iranian nuclear threat, has proven to be a tragic rhetorical cover to legitimize, in the eyes of Western public opinion, a strategy driven by geopolitical and economic interests with a clear objective: containing China and, more broadly, the economic and political rise of the BRICS countries.

      Zbigniew Brzezinski, former National Security Advisor to President Carter, argued in his renowned book The Grand Chessboard that Eurasia is the key to global dominance due to its vast geographical expanse, immense natural resources, and dense population. Brzezinski identified a potential Russia-China alliance as the only true threat to U.S. global hegemony. To counter this, he proposed a five-phase strategy: controlling Ukraine, separating Europe from Russia, subduing Russia, neutralizing Iran, and ultimately isolating China. Current global tensions must therefore be understood within the context of a long-term Western strategy aimed at preserving a declining unipolar order by containing the rise of a multipolar world led by China, Russia, and the Global South. Having stumbled in the third phase — a clumsy attempt at regime change in Russia and its entanglement in a prolonged regional war — Western powers have now initiated the fourth: the destabilization of Iran.

      Iran represents a strategic linchpin: it has joined China’s “New Silk Road,” become a member of the BRICS and the Shanghai Cooperation Organization, and strengthened its regional influence. These developments make it, in Western eyes, a significant geopolitical threat to global Western hegemony. From this perspective, chronic and protracted instability — as seen in countries like Libya, Syria, and Lebanon — serves as a functional tool to curb or disrupt the expansion of China’s global influence, which relies on approximately 90% of Iran’s oil exports.

      This context sheds light on Putin’s statement that “Russia and Iran are fighting the same forces.” When tensions take on an existential character, international law becomes a malleable tool, as evidenced by NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte’s arbitrary expansion of the concept of legality, declaring that “the U.S. attack on Iran does not constitute a violation of international law.”

      While a leader like Netanyahu pursues both personal political survival and the elimination of regional rivals, Anglo-American strategists view Iran as the last major Middle Eastern actor to neutralize. Israel, which, as German Chancellor Merz has stated, “does the dirty work for us,” with its 9.7 million inhabitants compared to Iran’s 91 million and a GDP comparable to that of Lombardy, is too small and economically vulnerable to sustain a new regional conflict alone. A direct confrontation with Tehran, in addition to ongoing wars in Lebanon, Syria, and Yemen, and the massacre in Palestine, would be unsustainable without substantial economic and military support from the West. The current outcome of the war demonstrates this: the truce achieved through U.S. intervention appears more as a temporary pause in hostilities than a framework for shared security.

      Following the debacle in Ukraine — now virtually absent from the media spotlight — the United States must reassert its military strength to bolster its national economy and the dollar’s role in international trade and as a safe-haven asset, a role that is visibly eroding. For a country whose economy relies on financial dominance, this is simply unacceptable.

      The real question, therefore, is not how far Western governments are willing to go with belligerent and failing policies, but whether they still have the capacity to envision an alternative. Everything suggests that other options are not even being considered. This is a claustrophobic and dangerously self-referential vision, reflective of a narrow elite increasingly disconnected from the historical, social, and economic realities of the contemporary world. At this point, the open question is dramatic: are they truly capable of leading the world toward a nuclear war? |link|
      🔻 Gerry Smith: AI summary: main Insights:

      1. Long-Term Strategy Unveiled:
      The piece argues that U.S. military interventions since 9/11 (Iraq, Syria, Libya, etc.) follow a decades-long strategic plan aiming to ensure global dominance, particularly by containing China and weakening potential alliances (Russia, Iran).

      2. Ukraine as a Trigger Point:
      Control over Ukraine is seen as a keystone move to sever EU-Russia ties, with the broader goal of disrupting the Eurasian bloc and preventing the rise of a multipolar world.

      3. Iran’s Strategic Role:
      Iran, now part of BRICS and the “New Silk Road,” is portrayed as a crucial node in resisting U.S.-led hegemony. Its destabilization is presented as the next step in this ongoing geopolitical chess match.

      4. China as the Ultimate Rival:
      The U.S. views China’s rise as the ultimate threat. Destabilizing regions connected to China (e.g., Middle East oil suppliers like Iran) is a way to curtail its ascent.

      5. The Risk of Global Escalation:
      A war involving Iran could lead to a much broader regional or even global conflict, potentially dragging in nuclear powers under the banner of containment or defense.

      6. Media and Narrative Control:
      Western political discourse is critiqued for suppressing dissent and promoting a monolithic “enemy” narrative, which facilitates war-making without public debate.

      7. Final Warning:
      The article ends with a sobering question: Are we being led toward nuclear conflict without even realizing it, simply because alternatives aren’t being publicly considered?
      🔻 HawkLife: Good read…humbling to say the least….the point made about “alternatives” is true…the US and nato, from appearances, have no plan B for this scenario and are moving full speed ahead assuming all things will work out in their favor, which is pure lunacy on a grand scale…

      💠@Palestinian Commie:
      ⭕ The israeli newspaper Globes wrote that against the backdrop of Erdogan’s statements about israel and the genocide of the Palestinian people by Netanyahu-Hitler, Turkey increased oil flows to israel by 55 percent. It’s talking about Azerbaijani oil, which arrives at the Turkish port of Ceyhan, and from there by tankers to factories in “Haifa”. All this is happening despite Ankara’s trade boycott of “Tel Aviv”.

      At the moment, israel is the second largest buyer of Azerbaijani oil. Türkiye, by the way, is only in 13th place.

      This is everything you need to know about Erdogan’s words
      [It’s a Big Club – in this theatre that of the Greater Turan – it’s tribal. A mad combination of Turkics – Sunni Turkey, Shiite Azerbaijan, and zionazi jewish Khazarians – all cousins, thick as thieves, against All, in service for raising their accursed Moshiach from Isfahan, Iran]
      Al-Quds Brigades announce blowing up a house in which a Zionist force was barricaded in a preplanned ambush, and clashing with the rescue force that arrived later with RPGs and automatic gunfire, forcing extensive Zionist aerial cover fire and smokescreens in order to pull the remaining soldiers out alive (June 28, Khan Younis)

      💠@ejmalrai:
      This is a man who stood defiantly against the might of the United States, Israel, and their powerful allies — without hesitation, without fear. He struck at Israel while Gaza, battered and bleeding, found in his actions a rare moment of pride. As bombs rained down and civilians were slaughtered, he gave hope to those who endure the cruelty of war crimes in silence. He brought a spark of dignity to the oppressed, a smile to the faces of the broken. This is not just a man—this is courage embodied. Unflinching, resolute, and unafraid.
      ⭕ Israelis react aggressively when the name “Filastin” (Palestine) is used because they are aware they have stolen the land that has been inhabited for centuries by Muslims, Christians, and Jews alike. For many Israelis, it exposes their massacres, crimes and attempts to erase the historical and ancestral connection to Filastin.
      ⭕ Since this morning, Israel has killed 71 Palestinians in Gaza. This news doesn’t exist in any European media, as if Palestinian lives don’t matter or are even nonexistent.
      ⭕ Israel is pursuing discreet but deliberate dialogue with Syria, reportedly holding over a dozen unpublicised meetings. The condition on the table is clear: Syria must formally recognise the Golan Heights as Israeli territory. If this deal moves forward, it will be revealing to hear what justification the politically agile Ahmad al-Shara’—better known as Abu Muhammad al-Joulani—offers to the Syrian public, who are likely to accept, despite the symbolic weight of the Golan.

      Ahmad al-Shara’, better known as Abu Muhammad al-Joulani, appears to be offering the Syrian public a symbolic “victory” to mask a deeper political compromise. By banning the Ashura commemorations in Sayeda Zeinab and other Shi’a pilgrimage sites—a clear violation of religious freedom—he presents himself as the defender of Sunni purity, while quietly pursuing talks with Israel in the background, uninterrupted and unchallenged.

      Meanwhile, beneath the surface, a more dangerous pattern is unfolding: the gradual ethnic cleansing of Alawite communities and the targeted destruction of Christian churches, both of which seem calculated to pressure these populations into fleeing. It’s a strategy cloaked in silence, designed to reshape Syria’s demographic and political landscape while distracting the public with shallow ideological gestures. Dialogue with Israel continues, but it comes at the cost of Syria’s pluralism.

      For Syria’s current leadership, the strategic calculus is clear: Iran, not Israel, is the primary threat. Joulani has publicly stated that he has “no issue with Tel Aviv,” signalling a dramatic realignment in Syria’s external priorities. The long-held rhetoric of resistance is quietly being replaced by a new friend of Syria: Benjamin Netanyahu, with an ICC arrest warrant for his war crimes and crimes against humanity.

      Yves here. It is exceedingly difficult to keep of top of Turkish President Recep Erdogan’s ongoing playing of various parties against each other. Readers can give many examples, but one layer of his many schemes was being helpful to Russia after the start of the Special Military Operation by continuing to trade with Russia and refusing to allow military ships to enter the Black Sea, to the great annoyance of the US. At the same time, Turkiye’s considerable role in the collapse of Syria was to Russia’s detriment.

      That is a long way of saying I cannot evaluate Korybko’s thesis but it is plausible.

      @iwasnevrhere_

      Iran has initiated its long-delayed transition from legacy-era aviation to a fused, multi-domain aerial doctrine, structured around Chinese systems integration and Russian high-capability airframes. With the Su-35 tranche capped due to Russian wartime production constraints, Tehran is shifting toward a scalable acquisition of J-10CE multirole fighters, recalibrating its force structure into a dual-axis fleet: Su-35s for strategic deterrence and high-altitude interception, and J-10CEs as the operational backbone for regional air superiority and saturation coverage. The J-10CE’s inclusion brings critical uplifts, AESA radar arrays, PL-15 BVR missile integration, modular EW compatibility, and sovereign BeiDou time-sync routing, delivered through China’s full-spectrum export ecosystem. This system includes depot-level sustainment, airframe lifecycle support, secure comms channels, and C2 interoperability across SCO-aligned nodes. The procurement pipeline is lubricated by oil-for-airframe barter, reactivated after Washington’s June 24 exemption for Chinese purchases of Iranian crude, marking a quiet end to dollar-clearing bottlenecks in bilateral arms trade.

      This layered architecture now fuses Russian kinetic depth, Chinese production throughput, and Iranian drone-swarm doctrine into a single operational lattice. Su-35s provide long-range AWACS denial and strategic reach; J-10CEs handle multirole sorties, point defense, and tempo-based attrition cycles; Iranian UAVs fill the ISR, EW, and loitering munition domains with modular redundancy. The result is a sovereign, C4ISR-synced air grid that no longer merely contests Western-dominated skies, it rewrites the framework entirely, rendering previous assumptions about Iranian vulnerability functionally obsolete.

      ⭕ 🇱🇧⚡️🏴🇸🇾 Local sources reporting of sparse buildup along Syrian-Lebanese border

      Local sources within Syria are reporting that Hay’at Tahrir al-Sham (HTS), Al-Qaeda branch in Syria, have deployed Uyghur and Chechen terrorists sparsely along the entirety of the Syria-Lebanon area. Specifically, the Turkistan “Islamic” Party and Saraya Ansar al-Sunnah, literal ISIS-affiliate organisation that murdered over 1,700 civilians in Latakia in March.

      The response has been a major mobilization of the Lebanese Army, along with members of Hezbollah, Amal Movement, Beqaa tribes and people’s militias in anticipation of a repeat of the March border clashes between Lebanon and these various Jewlani-led terrorist organisations.

      ⭕ Why does the US want to negotiate with Iran about its nuclear program when both Donald Trump and Benjamin Netanyahu are sure they have destroyed it?

      What is the need for IAEA Director @rafaelmgrossi and inspectors if Iran has no nuclear sites intact and all have been destroyed?
      ⭕ US Secretary of State Marco Rubio has finally grasped what should have been obvious from the start: you can’t negotiate with Iran if your definition of diplomacy is ultimatums and threats. With that realisation, perhaps the US will now do the one constructive thing it hasn’t tried—leaving Iran alone.
      And on the other side, one can only hope Iran has read the message clearly: no one’s coming to the table in good faith. It’s time to stop waiting for Western approval and focus fully on building the defence posture it needs—resilient, independent, and ready |media|

      ⭕ 🇺🇸💵The dollar is experiencing its worst start to the year in more than 50 years, The New York Times reports.

      Over the past six months, the dollar has weakened by more than 10% against the currencies of the United States’ main trading partners.

      This is the worst result since 1973, when the United States untied the dollar from the price of gold.

      The NYT cites Trump’s tariff and isolationist foreign policy, concerns about inflation and rising government debt, and a decline in confidence in the role of the United States as the center of the global financial system among the reasons.

      At the same time, a weakening dollar should help American exporters and make imports more expensive.

      The confrontation with the enemy takes various forms, including psychological warfare, of which narrative and information are key tools. The enemy seeks by all means to widely disseminate its narrative and gather information for practical use.

      Therefore, it is crucial to be cautious about presenting any achievements to the enemy by adopting its narrative, which aims to confuse the homeland front and undermine trust. We also emphasize the need to be wary of providing any direct or indirect information that could be exploited by the enemy.

      They held the Grand Lodge of the Freemasons of the world in the “friendly and brotherly” country of Azerbaijan.

      The content of the meeting is undisclosed. But it is certain that topics such as the expansion of NATO into the South Caucasus and Central Asia with the aim of weakening Iran and Russia, Israel’s recent attacks on Iran, and the creation of the fake Zangezur corridor alongside Baku’s recent provocations against Russia were discussed.

      Reason is unknown. But it’s likely to keep Iranian nuclear activities a secret, even if Fordow is active (or becomes active) it will not become public knowledge.

      PS: Google translate is bad, here’s a better translation of what Iranian FM said:

      “The damage to Fordow has been very serious and extensive.
      No one has precise information on what exactly happened at Fordow.
      The damage to the nuclear facilities has been very heavy and serious, and apparently, they are currently unusable.
      It needs to be assessed how long it will take to restart them — or whether they can even be restarted at all.”

      History and logic suggest that as the civilizational States reassert on land they will also assert at sea – as we see happening with Rus and Chin, so we may expect also Persia to do…indeed since a contested sea will continue for some period, quite reasonably with submarines carrying rockets and drones as well as mines and torpedoes. The Sea-Peoples will naturally have to be countered at sea…as we see already. The nazi main base imagines the oceans protect it. These protective barriers may become themselves “Burnham Woods” . Iran’s navy includes some very nice submarines and well qualified crews, these forming the basis for developing a nuclear submarine force.

      “Seawolf and Virginia class submarines have lifetime reactors, which will operate for 30+ years without refueling, saving a lot of money on extremely expensive refuelings. These reactors use bomb-grade Uranium, and are laced with burnable poisons that are consumed as the Uranium is, maintaining relatively constant reactivity.”

Berlin wants to involve submarines, frigates and patrol aircraft….”… “Sweden is preparing special forces to confront Russia in the Arctic.”   Recall too the numerous “mysterious” explosions in Ruski ships’ engine rooms, another very recently.
