    Today in Tehran: Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Viktorovich Lavrov with Iranian Foreign Minister Hossein Amir-Abdollahian

    💠@Intel Republic:
    ⚡️🚨🚨 BLARE OF AIR RAID SIRENS and the cut of Hezbollah rocket salvos in above video soar over Akka and Haifa, North Israel, for the first time since the start of the war. Otherwise, borders between Lebanon and Israel remain comparatively calm from crossfire as both sides regroup and reassess following increasing escalation.

    💠@DDGeopolitics:
    ⚡️Erdogan invited the Turkish Parliament to ratify the protocol on Sweden’s membership in NATO [not a good sign, in fact a hostile move at this incendiary moment, and in setting of Turks telling Hamas leaders to leave Gaza, and the start of Azeri-Turk military exercises on borders of Armenia. What was Erdogan given? Betrayal is in the Wind — see Egypt below too..]

    💠@MedManTG:
    ⚡️An American Bipartisan delegation consisting of Republicans and Democrats landed in Egypt today. They were met by the Egyptian Foreign Minister, Head of the General Directorate of Intelligence, and the Egyptian President.

    The American delegation stated nothing except that the relationship between the US and Egypt is paramount and “that Egypt is the main pillar of security in the Middle East and Arab world.” No one knows what they discussed inside besides what has officially been stated, such as the situation in Palestine, the Israeli political command, and the need to protect civilians, all the usual talk. But if I am going to take an educated guess, I think the Americans are yet again trying to pressure Egypt into allowing Palestinian refugees from Gaza into the Sinai, American attempts to evict the people of Gaza abroad have been recorded numerous times before, and this time is no different.

    The Egyptian position is that the people of Gaza will not leave Gaza, it is their land and they are not going back, historical examples include the eviction of Circassians, Bosnians, Ethnic Russians, Kazakhs, Germans, and Finns across the historical borders of Europe and Asia – once you leave, you are not coming back.

    ⚡️Islamic Resistance in Iraq: We targeted the Al-Tanf and Al-Rukban military bases in Syria with two suicide drones
    ⚡️The Islamic Resistance in Iraq announces that it targeted the American ‘Al-Malikiyah’ military base in Syria with one suicide drone. [that is the third base in Syria alone.. drip-drip-drip, cut-cut-cut.. let us see if US dares to unleash the A-10 ground attack planes it positioned in Jordan, just across the border from Al-Tanf. It is already losing men in these attacks]

    23 Oct: Lavrov arrives in Tehran, Iran

    Remember, while Perfide Albion and the Zionists encourage Azeris to open a new front in Transcaucasia against Armenia, sure to draw in Iran who promised to defend Armenian integrity and to protect at all costs a land-route to landlocked Armenia, and which now has ominous overtones through the start of the Azerbaijani-Turkish military exercises “Mustafa Kemal Atatürk-2023”, there is today’s crucial deconfliction meeting in Tehran attended by FM Lavrov and the foreign ministers of Azerbaijan, Armenia, Iran, and Turkey. Hopefully Russians can bring sense to the Azeris — Putin also has personal rapport with Aliyev, Prez of Azerbaijan.

    Hezbollah shapes the northern battlefield terrain

    NATO buildup in East Med continues. They are running out of base space and expanding to new ones near Athens, etc.. There are incipient signs Gaza carnage may be walked back by criminal zionists, who now have open dissension amongst their ranks.. see their statements below, and increased savage bombing in last day which may be last vengeful blows before they cut and run. The equivalent of prior Imperial Brits & French poisoning wells on way out.. Deterrence is being imposed on zionist West by the ongoing relentless irregular but effective Resistance actions — West in zugzwang, unwilling to cross stated Red Lines (see above). It has been made crystal clear to the satanists they will be escorted to their desired Nirvana if they cross the Red Lines. And how much did those six Chinese warships shielding Iran in Persian Gulf with additional air defense, in conjunction with Russian Kinzhals patrolling the Black Sea dampen furor for the Hegemon?? All those who count in Zone B are marshalled and openly on war-posture, including Chairman Kim who said he could strike South Korean strategic bases of the US.. The dance card was filled, presented to “the international community,” with all guns cocked and at the ready.

    💠 @DDGeopolitics: 
    ⚡The U.S. Air Force has started using the airbase near Athens, Elefsina, for operations in the Middle East, leading local residents to prepare for a protest rally in response. Greek publications report that the American base in Crete is struggling with increased activity, hence the deployment of new airfields. Unions and activists in the Attica region, opposing the transformation of Elefsina into a military base, have decided to hold a protest rally on the evening of October 25th.
    ⚡On Al Jazeera, they were discussing a potential ground operation in the Gaza Strip. Military analyst Fayez ad-Daweiri emphasized several important points that seem to be overlooked by many.
    ➡️ Even if the Israelis were to level the entire sector, it wouldn’t eliminate the ideology of Hamas or the Palestinian perspective on Israel. Furthermore, such an operation would only lead to the proliferation of these ideas among refugees and the Arab population.
    ➡️ Despite the apparent military successes of the Israelis, when they enter Gaza, they will encounter the so-called “Hamas metro” because Gaza is a “city of tunnels.” Nobody has a complete map of these tunnels.
    ➡️ Hamas strikes will be akin to the bites of a sandfish lizard (Arabs call it the “desert fish”) because mobile groups of fighters would attack from the rubble and catacombs.
    ➡️ Hamas tunnels are not just hiding places. There are offensive tunnels, defensive tunnels, training tunnels, and rocket launch tunnels. Palestinian fighters have learned not only to live in them but also to use them as weapons. And if Israeli troops set foot in Gaza, Palestinians will use their capabilities to the fullest.
    ⚡The first Azerbaijani-Turkish military exercises “Mustafa Kemal Atatürk-2023” have commenced in Karabakh and Nakhchivan. These exercises involve up to 3,000 military personnel, 130 armored vehicles, and up to 100 artillery pieces. [this defacto serves as threat to Iran & Russia to expand war fronts, per earlier messaging by Blinken, hoping to deflect focus off Gaza & Palestinian front. Azeris are on side of Israelis, thoroughly losing their humanity.]
    ⚡Al Jazeera, quoting the Interior Ministry of Gaza, reports that the Israeli airstrikes and raids have significantly increased since last night. “An-Nur al-Muhammadi Mosque” in Gaza has been destroyed due to Israeli airstrikes, as reported by the Ministry. Reports that minutes ago Israeli Air Force bombed a residential building in Jabalia refugee camp, northern Gaza.

    💠 @Intel Republic:
    EGYPT MAKES PROPOSAL after rejecting Israeli plans to resettle Palestinians in the Sinai desert by proposing refugee camp in Southern Gaza Strip border city of Rafah be built for the over 1 and a half MILLION displaced Palestinians forced to flee from bombed out homes. The Egyptian authorities would oversee the camps, situated 3km from the Gaza-Egypt border.

    💠@Strategika51:
    ⚡The Israeli military command no longer has any options. The images of the last meeting of the Israeli War Cabinet in the presence of Netanyahu clearly show tense, tired faces and, in Netanyahu, paleness, fear and doubt.
    ⚡Crisis of confidence between Netanyahu and the main Israeli military leaders.
    Netanyahu is very angry with the Israeli army and some military leaders openly shun him.
    ⚡In the United States, more and more American Jews resent Netanyahu, whom they consider primarily responsible for an unprecedented resurgence of anti-Semitism in virtually every country in the world, including in countries like South Korea and Japan.
    ⚡The Pentagon is concerned about a situation it considers explosive:
    🔹US military bases in Iraq and Syria are now subject to daily attacks;
    🔹Lebanese Hezbollah is in the process of bogging down three divisions at the same time in the North, which is unprecedented in the history of armed confrontations between Israel and Hezbollah.
    🔹Palestinian Hamas absorbs 60% of the total Israeli reserve in the South and aerial bombardments consume a lot of ammunition in a context of arms and ammo shortage due to the war in Ukraine.
    🔹The continuation of the conflict could not only lead to widespread conflict in the region but would deal a fatal blow to the image of the United States in the world.
    🔹Lloyd Austin said almost the same thing on a news channel.

    💠@sputnik_africa
    ⚡ ❗️Latest updates on Israeli-Palestinian conflict:
    🔻 Israel’s operation in Gaza may be aborted if Hamas releases hostages, IDF said;
    🔻 200,000 Israelis have been reportedly displaced by the ongoing conflict;
    🔻 The Israeli army reported hitting over 320 targets in Gaza in the past 24 hours;
    🔻 Israel will not transfer any humanitarian aid to the Gaza Strip and will also prevent any uncontrolled supplies from other countries, the prime minister’s office said;
    🔻 At least 10 hospitals in the Gaza Strip have stopped working due to Israeli shelling and fuel shortages, the Gaza Health Ministry said;
    🔻 US and its allies agree to continue coordination to prevent Gaza conflict from spreading;
    🔻 IDF’s operation in Gaza Strip is expected to become last of its kind, Israeli Defense Minister expects;
    🔻 China is concerned about possible escalation of conflict in Israel, country’s Foreign Ministry said.

    💠@Middle East Spectator:
    ⚡️U.S. Air Defenses shot down 3 drones above the American base in al-Tanf, Syria
    ⚡️Interestingly, no clashes or attacks were reported between Israel and Hezbollah so far today [another indication of walk-back and submission to regional realities by Zionists. These are good signs, not that it will save them in the long run. It merely spreads out the agony of the criminals. They will get 1,000 knife cuts, rather than the single shotgun shell to the temple]
    ⚡️Turkey tells Hamas leaders to leave Turkey – al-Monitor [all know the key leaders are already ensconced in Qatar and/or Turkey. These are face-saving measures to deconflict and prevent immediate larger conflagrations]
    ⚡️After the Aleppo and Damascus airports were put out of service by Israeli airstrikes, Iranian and IRGC-affiliated cargo planes have started using the Russian ‘Khmeimim’ airbase for the first time.

    💠@Arab_Africa:  
    ⚡️The US sets the condition for allowing humanitarian aid to the Palestinians to be the release of its citizens who were held hostage in the Gaza Strip. This was reported by an Egyptian source familiar with the progress of negotiations between Egypt, Qatar and the United States regarding the delivery of humanitarian cargo accumulated in the cities of Rafah and El-Arish. According to him, the initial agreement provides for the entry of about a hundred trucks with humanitarian aid from the nearly two hundred trucks still in Egypt, in exchange for the release of the remaining hostages who have American citizenship.

    Israel rejects the American proposal because it could provoke resentment among Israelis who would see Benjamin Netanyahu’s government as only interested in freeing American hostages in exchange for the huge support it receives from the Biden administration. However, Egyptian officials proposed the possibility of establishing camps in the Palestinian city of Rafah , three kilometers from the Palestinian territories, so that Egypt could control these camps. The Cairo proposal assumes that seriously wounded people and people with chronic diseases requiring urgent medical attention will be brought here for further transfer to Egyptian field hospitals that will be set up on the Egyptian side.

    ⚡The USS Eisenhower Carrier Strike Group will be redeployed and reinforced for the defense of the CentCom area. It appears that Washington is sending everything it has in its arsenals to the Levant and the Middle East.
    Syria: two “Israeli” raids in one day target Damascus and Aleppo airports. Syrian air defense was activated during the second attack.
    ⚡️Hezbollah continues its operations against Israel’s best-fortified military sites. For the day of October 22, 2023, several ultra-fortified military sites were targeted with rockets, anti-tank missiles and sniper fire. This video is extremely interesting: Hezbollah destroys radars, IR cameras, volumetric sensors, pressure sensors, projectile detectors and opto-electronic equipment at Israeli military sites without any response from the Israeli military holed up underground. 
    ⚡️Gaza: bombing of a building with two JDAM bombs. Israeli military action is absurd and without any purpose. Massacre of civilians to affect the morale of the population has never been a successful technique in the Muslim world and even more so in Gaza. The resilience of civilian populations in Gaza is one of the highest in the world.

    Iranian Kornet
    ⚡️Military analysts: the Kornet E and Bulsae-2 anti-tank missiles have reduced the Israeli armored force’s room for maneuver to zero.
    ⚡️Mind-blowing! Israeli officials are very concerned about the difficulties of recruiting the American armies. They are really counting on the United States to fight for them! [are they aware most US troops are overweight, not keen on being suicided, and despise jews and/or israelis??]
    ⚡️The Gaza Strip has suffered the most violent bombardments since the start of this new standoff.
    ⚡️The bombings seem to be focused on densely populated neighborhoods and there are only civilian victims, many of them children. 70% of the victims of lawless Israeli bombings are women and children.

    ⚡️ The former President of Bolivia, Evo Morales, who is currently attempting to return to the presidential office: “When we came to government after winning the elections in December 2005, we broke relations with Israel as a consequence of our pacifist and anti-imperialist principles. After the November 2019 coup d’état that was supported by the USA, Añez, obeying the orders of the empire, restored relations with Israel. It’s been three years now and that relationship unfortunately continues.
    I repeat again the request that our government, in addition to breaking relations with Israel clearly and emphatically condemn the massacres and genocide against the Palestinian people. He who does not reject genocides is an accomplice. Such genocide cannot be accepted in Palestine. Israel should be declared a terrorist state.”
    ⚡️Israel told Sky News that some of the Hamas fighters (on October 7th) were carrying instructions on how to make chemical weapons. 🐻 Really? Are we doing this again? Really?


    ⚡️ Meanwhile in the UK, a woman got scared of people enjoying their sport… “Whoever thought it was funny to parasail over the village, it was in extremely poor taste. Take your twisted hatred somewhere else. There was two parachutes with engines like Hamas used at that festival, gave me a fright. Thought it was some kind of scare tactic or protest.” – She wrote on X/Twitter  [maybe geographically-challenged like Liz “Lettuce” Truss! This is actually a very bad sign of the success of Anglo mindwashing…]
    ⚡️The leaders of the United States, Canada, France, Germany, Italy, and the United Kingdom affirm their support for Israel and its right to defend itself. The United States, Great Britain, Italy, Canada, France and Germany pledged to coordinate efforts to send humanitarian aid to the Gaza Strip, as well as to prevent the escalation of the Palestinian-Israeli conflict.

    sober, hard to argue with except with his impression of the GCC and arab compradore elites..

    overtly they say one thing, and seem to be escaping the clutches of Empire, in order to avoid being hurt at home by enraged populace, but they still remain susceptible to Imperial diktat due to (1) their total adoption of soulless western liberalism (thus remaining under soft power hooks via futbol “sportswashing”, iPhone control files of their degeneracy, media PR weapon, etc), (2) inferiority complex via the Big White Brother beyond the Seas, (3) acquired disdain for Palestinian resistance for decades, (4) continuing irrational fear of Iran and Yemen (or may be not so irrational given their sea of crimes against those two), (5) lack of proper education and wisdom.

    So the main enemy of the Resistance camp is really the inadequate regional compradore elite arabs who remain subservient to the old templates and ways. The inertia in that direction is massive and continues to benefit Empire, against locals. Usually, for most of recorded history, this required a change of elites to realize redirection..

    Let us see whether the Chinese – Russian consort can massage a smart change… they have a lot on the line (averting Armageddon) to forcefully influence the arab compradore coordination towards the Resistance.

    ☝️☝️☝️ Can we say there is a pattern? Is this the Zionist response to being slow-boiled by Hezbollah, and being slow-boiled in the global commons by Gaza PR-optics? To embrace cowardly Egyptian Junta in wider war — getting them to solve their Gaza problem?

    💠@Slavyangrad:
    ⚡️ In 24 hours, Israel attacked as many as four Arab countries today: Egypt, Palestine, Lebanon and Syria. The total population of the countries attacked by Israel over the past 24 hours is more than 135 million people. Israel’s population is just under 10 million[yes, but they neglect to mention the entire force of the Golden Billion uphold it..]

    💠@MedManTG:
    ⚡️🇪🇬 Regarding the IDF tank that targeted the Egyptian post. There are several theories that I’m seeing around, and I would like to state them for the sake of honesty.
    1– Israel purposefully targeted it with the permission of Israeli high command, to either
    1) See how the Egyptians would react to a slight escalation, in case Israel wishes to evict the Gazans purposefully across to Sinai
    2) Drag Egypt into a war, considering Egypt is the only neighbor of Israel that has the manpower, equipment, and experience to fight a prolonged conventional, therefore solidifying American presence and forcing America to the war to protect Israel, a “New U.S.S Liberty” per say

    2– The Israeli tank crew did this on their own prerogative, [recently] three Israeli tourists were shot dead by an Egyptian Conscript in the Police, and before that three IDF soldiers were killed by an Egyptian soldier, therefore their emotions most likely were running high and did this independently.

    3– The Israelis are trying to close the Rafah border crossing, and this was a message.

    The one thing of interest I would note is that suddenly, most of the opposition that was complaining that Egypt is being dragged into a war and that we should not mobilize more than the second and third army are now calling for war, fifth column or lowlifes? Beats me. A response must be enacted, it may be of a military, political, or economic nature, who knows.

    ⚡HUMILIATING AMBUSH in Khan Yunis, Southern Gaza grips Israeli soldiers who cross border fence for several meters, only to be met with infiltrating Palestinian resistance fighters waiting for them on the other side who IMMEDIATELY destroy 2 Israeli bulldozers and tank, forcing Israeli forces to FLEE BY FOOT. Above image shows badass poster by Palestinian resistance published shortly after the ambush inviting Israeli soldiers to fuck around and find out. Fighting is not so easy when it’s something other than bombing women and children from afar!

    💠@elmalrai:
    [retweet from Roberta Sutton] IL “weaker than a spider’s web” since 1,200 Hamas men captured IDF gens & forced a retreat from Gaza. IDF falls back on bombs +2K US Delta men & US carriers. Palestinians take their identity from the land. IL was born of terrorist Irgun 1931. Lost hand to hand str. fight to Hezb.
    ⚡Essential to understand what #Israel is doing: A first Israel force advanced east of Khan Younes in the southern Gaza Strip & clashed with Hamas. This is called Force reconnaissance to test the enemy’s readiness and firepower. Hamas made a mistake in fighting back. [note the criminals engaged in street combat in the southern sector to which had herded all Gazans. Like equally cowardly Ukies, they use civilians as SHIELDS, working to limit Hamas’ options in order to protect their own…. The objective of moving them from North Gaza was NOT to save lives, but to make options worse for the defense, along with forcing Egypt to open the Sinai border]
    ⚡Ambushing a tiny enemy unit reveals the alertness of #Gaza, inspiring the Israeli command to continue the bombardment and delay the ground troops’ advance. Many more Israeli reconnaissance units will follow to confirm intel or provide intel.
    ⚡Nevertheless, it proves that the Palestinians in #Gaza are ready for the Israeli invasion, and #Israel has successfully killed civilians (1757 children, 1030 women and 187 elderly), not militants.

    💠@Strategika51:
    ⚡️An Israeli armored unit attempted an incursion today east of Khan Younes. It advanced a few meters inside the Gaza Strip before being ambushed. Two armored bulldozers and a Merkava tank were immediately destroyed. The Israeli soldiers had to flee on foot in a state of total panic. (Several sources crosschecking)

    ⚡️Abdul Aziz Bin Habtoor, the Prime Minister of the Yemeni government based in Sana’a (affiliated to the Houthis): The Americans intercepted the missiles and drones that were moving towards Israel and shot down some of them, but the other part managed to reach their targets. The Prime Minister of Yemen threatened that if the Zionist attack on Gaza continues, Israeli ships will be targeted in the Red Sea.

    [this confirms:

    1. Yemen’s actively entered the war
    2. Yemen has missiles capable of reaching occupied Palestine
    3. Yemen was targeting the Occupation and NOT the US fleet
    4. Yemen is like Hezbollah observing a graduated preplanned escalation in coordination with regional Resistance, and
    5. the US is now an openly active combatant on side of Zionism against entire region, without any plausible deniability whatsoever, such as enjoys in 404, flimsy as is. ]

    Thx so much dear Brother! Helmer’s turning into the motherlode this campaign! I see why Mercouris and Ambassador MK Bhadrakumar are so enamored of him, and why simpleminded friends of the CIA and other scumbag orgs disparage him so. He’s not afraid to talk the truth; somethings rubbed off on him from his long stay with the Rooskies. Right, let’s continue the tripe that Hamas are simple raghead “terrorist” arabs who can never evolve and win against the uber mensch Zionist western settlers. That’s why the entire combined West has relocated in panic to defend them, setting up the closest Pirate forward base on the island of Cyprus. And look at the desperate rabid nuclear options they’re reduced to. pitiful

    As with another “simple” ragtag sandaled guerrillas at Dien Bien Phu, let’s savor the rout in progress. As with the settler cancer on Oct 07, the Pride is about to fall off the cliff across the board for globohomonazidom. It’s checkmate every which way for the Beasts

    Egyptian troops shelled by Israel….

    💠@MedManTG:
    ⚡️❗️The Zionist enemy has “accidentally” attacked an Egyptian Military Surveillance tower on Rafah, wounding 2 Egyptian soldiers, one critically. The spokesperson of the Israeli army said it was an “accident” and that “the incident is under investigation.”
    ⚡️Secretary of State of the United States of America, Anthony J Blinken, has just released an important statement. He categorically came to the conclusion that it is impossible to evict and relocate the people of Gaza, therefore he is in direct opposition against the Israeli government which wishes to see the people of Gaza leave Gaza in anyway, shape or form. Egypt has called the relocation of Gazans outside of Gaza “a declaration of war”, Jordan also stated the same if this concept was applied on the West Bank. [I disagree with MedMan.. Blinken lies as usual. It is to dissociate USUK from ongoing crimes. Their actions speak better than words. Gaza is being rendered uninhabitable, come what may. Egypt will be forced to take them or fight. See hint by shelling of Egyptian border troops above..]
    ⚡️Over 5500 residential buildings so far have been recorded as destroyed. Note – 5500 residential buildings, there are no current figures for Mosques, Churches, Hospitals, or any other infrastructure.
    ⚡️US Department of Defense warns there’s a possibility of a “significant escalation” of attacks on American troops and citizens in the Middle East, according to Reuters. Already, the Secretary of Defense stated that he had directed the Eisenhower carrier to join the Ford strike group and to deploy a THAAD battery in the Middle East. Additional Troop deployment in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia has been confirmed. [GCC lacks sovereignty. “What ya gonna do Russia-China and BRICS??”]
    ⚡️ 60 Thousand Settlers near the Israeli-Lebanon border have been ordered to evacuate as of now.
    ⚡️There have been reports of Israeli airstrikes near the Egyptian Border Crossing of Rafah. Egyptian Ambulances, medical workers, and several security officers have went to assist, it is unknown what the target was, but it is unlikely that it was the Convoy – as the convoy entered 5 hours ago and should have left 2 hours before now.
    ⚡️A Statement from journalists on the ground. “The Airstrikes did not target the roads on the Palestinian side of Rafah which are essential for the continuation of the aid convoys.”
    ⚡️Western Media is accusing Egypt of not keeping up with “the deal.” Western passport holders, of Americans, Swedes, Poles, and the likes, are still stuck in Gaza and are not allowed to leave, while at least over 30 Egyptian aid trucks have entered Gaza. [is the entire risible paltry aid “convoys” let in so far a ploy to get the western hostages out?? To remove this card from Palestinian hands, so western MSM can better whitewash and memory-hole the crime. The fact that the wily Egyptians aren’t playing ball is encouraging. Egyptians have a sense of wickedness honed over countless millennia and can smell out these trickeries]
    ⚡️The State Department orders the diplomatic mission in Iraq to have several members of the mission leave Iraq, an attempt at downsizing or evacuation, no one knows.

    ⚡️BREAKING: An IDF tank accidentally fired upon an Egyptian observation post near Gaza, injuring two, and one of them is in critical condition. [is this pressure on Egypt to open the Sinai? Let’s see if counter “accidents” happen in other direction]
    ⚡️— Two comments
    1. How do you ‘accidentally’ fire a tank?
    2. Why was your tank turret aimed at the Egyptian outpost?

    Ironing North Gaza

    💠@Slavyangrad:
    ⚡The Israeli army appears focused on destroying the northern Gaza Strip through heavy bombing. [“ironing”]
    ⚡️The Israeli Air Force again attacked the airports of Aleppo and Damascus to prevent the supply of Iranian weapons to the region. [most arms are supplied through the ground and prestocked… this appears terrorism and intimidation]
    1.5 million residents of the Gaza Strip have fled their homes due to the escalation of the conflict, the enclave authorities say. [video] [this is 65% of Gaza! Where are they staying? Packed into south Gaza.. where are easier denser targets.. how many sleep out in open, like those afraid of follow-up earthquakes, as they can be bombed any moment?? This doesn’t save many, such as in Baptist hospital or seeking refuge in UN and church/masjid buildings] 
    ⚡It is expected that tomorrow a meeting of the foreign ministers of Azerbaijan, Armenia, Iran, Russia and Turkey will take place in Tehran to discuss the situation in Nagorno-Karabakh. [excellent time to coordinate expanding West Asian front too]

    These scenes are in South Gaza, to which were herded 2.3M humans.. Implication: only safe outlet is Sinai.

    💠 @Strategika51:
    ⚡An Israeli fighter plane hit by a Surface-to-Air missile in South Lebanon. According to convergent information, it is an F-15I Strike Eagle. [this was over Hezbollah territory]
    ⚡The Pentagon ordered the withdrawal of the nuclear-powered aircraft carrier USS Dwight Eisenhower after confirmation of military intelligence data assessing that Hezbollah may have a quantity of anti-ship missiles of unspecified origin.
    Hezbollah’s way of fighting in this war where it is not yet at war intrigues US and Israeli analysts. It is a form of asymmetric warfare with high technical potential never seen before. Israelis are increasingly terrified of this.

    💠 @DDGeopolitics:
    ⚡Israel attacked the airports of Damascus and Aleppo. As reported by the Syrian Ministry of Defense, as a result of damage to the runways, the airports were put out of service. In turn, the Syrian Ministry of Transport reported that after the Israeli strikes, flights from there were transferred to Latakia International Airport.

    ⚡READY TO FIGHT – and we’re not just talking about the UFC ring! Russian UFC fighter Islam Makhachev (above video) REFUSES to celebrate his win, dedicating his platform towards a message to the world to STOP Israel’s assault on Gaza. Likewise, wrestler Khamzat Chimaev (pictured below) says he’s READY to join Palestine-Allied Resistance Axis calling on Russian Chechen leader Ramzan Kadyrov to allow him to fight “Zionist regime.”

    Blinken, acting Lebanese Prime Minister Mikati discuss rising tensions on border with Israel 💬 “The Secretary reiterated the importance of respecting the interests of the Lebanese people, who would be affected by Lebanon being drawn into the conflict instigated by Hamas’ terrorist attack on Israel,” the department said in a statement. Blinken added that Washington continues to consider the Lebanese armed forces and internal security forces to be the “sole legitimate guarantors” of the country’s stability and territorial integrity, the statement added.

    [The crimes of Empire absolutely require local elite support and subservience. Unfortunately for USUK, Hezbollah is unassailable within Lebanon. And even the weak Lebanese army sympathizes with Palestinians and Hezbollah. And these futile gestures reveal increasing setback and panic of USUK..]
    ⚡❗️ A total of 266 people including 117 children were killed in Gaza over the past 24 hours due to Israeli shelling, Gaza ministry of health says [these are early officially recorded deaths; thousands remain buried & unaccounted in rubble. (1) Gazans lack heavy machinery to lift rubble, even simple buildings, nevermind tower blocks ironed out. (2) Rescuers were systematically targeted and degraded, with such work now left to bystanders using their bare hands and wits]
    ⚡❗️Head of Hamas movement abroad says United States leads the war against Palestine [there must be many terrified Israelis who understand they’ve crossed all bounds through the actions of last weeks. There is no retreat from this. They are locked-in fully committed proxies of the merciless Empire. Their destiny is to exterminate all in front of them now, until they are themselves exterminated as vermin….. so their language and actions will become increasingly unhinged and totally bestial]

    💠 @MedManTG:
    ⚡ The US has roughly around 50,000 troops deployed across the Middle East. With large bases from Syria to the Gulf. The Al-Harir Airbase in Erbil, Iraqi Kurdistan recently came under drone attack. Tashkil al-Waritheen claimed responsibility for the attacks. The US has also deployed 2 CSGs in the Mediterranean.
    ⚡A Second Aid Convoy has entered Gaza from Egypt. It contains 17 trucks. [They require perhaps 2,000 trucks per day to replenish too, after ongoing losses. This starvation tactic alone will trigger world war now]
    ⚡For the 4th time after the 7th of October, the Israeli Air Force has bombed the airports of Damascus and Aleppo. The airstrike in Damascus killed two airport worker and put both airports out of service.
    ⚡Regarding the disinformation and misinformation that has been going through the sphere of both the Internet and Telegram. The President of the Arab League did not call Palestinian Factions as Terrorists in the 2023 war, nor did the Emir of Qatar storm out of the meeting.

    The video is from 2019, and it is in a completely different context, the video ITSELF is from 2019. Come on guys, source your news well, will you, friends? The Emir of Qatar did leave, but the video is not of the incident, and he left earlier by 50 minutes. Authors note – I was familiar with Hamas before any of you, or the certain cells that were in Jerusalem that were condemned by both Hamas, the PA, and anyone with a decent soul.

    Do you, for example, know that when Mubarak opened the borders, Egypt suffered a severe dollar counterfeiting issue? what about the ISIS cells that were in Jerusalem and Gaza before they were cleansed? Egypt itself did not have any discussions and refused to talk with Hamas until they purged themselves of the Muslim Brotherhood. This is what was the president of the Arab League was referring to – the puppets of Qatar, but this is all behind us now. [Hamas has purged the Muslim Brotherhood from its ranks, hence why it is part of and acceptable to Resistance Arc, and why Turkey and Qatar are so lukewarm in supporting Gaza. Terrorism resides within the combined Zionist West and its offspring proxies]
