❗️Putin at a meeting with Iranian Foreign Minister Araghchi:
I am very glad to see you. Welcome! You are visiting Russia at a difficult time. Our position on the current events is well known. It is clear, stated, articulated by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs on behalf of Russia, and you know the position we have taken in the UN Security Council.
The absolutely unprovoked aggression against Iran has no basis and no justification. We, for our part, are making efforts to assist the Iranian people. I am very glad that you are in Moscow today. This will give us the opportunity to discuss these sensitive issues and think together about how to get out of today's situation.

GOLD MIGHT HIT $4,000... AND IT’S NOT BECAUSE OF WAR
According to Bank of America, the U.S. is so deep in debt that investors sprint to gold like it’s Black Friday.
Turns out, people care more about America’s money mess than the Israel-Iran tension.
The government keeps pumping out Treasurys like candy, and real interest rates aren't helping.
In short, gold is the new “safe space” for nervous rich people who haven't transitioned yet to crypto.

It’s pretty amazing to see the four statements from Australia, Canada, United Kingdom, and EU on US strikes on Iran side-by-side. The wording is pretty much verbatim, especially the first two paragraphs. They all have the same script.

Orban on Sunday urged the EU to take a proposed ban on Russian energy off the agenda due to an expected rise in energy prices following the US bombing of Iran
The EU Commission on Tuesday proposed a legally binding ban on EU imports of Russian gas and LNG by the end of 2027, using legal measures to ensure the plan cannot be blocked by EU members Hungary and Slovakia
The proposals set out how the bloc plans to fix into law its vow to end decades-old energy relations with Europe's former top gas supplier after Moscow's 2022 invasion of Ukraine.
"We must contend with a further increase in the price of energy"
"This is a serious threat. Therefore, we must remove in Brussels the regulations and bans on Russian energy," he said. "We have enough problems given the negative impact of the Iran-Israel war on energy prices."
Slovakia and Hungary continue to receive Russian gas and oil.
The EU has imposed sanctions on most Russian oil imports but not on gas due to opposition from Slovakia and Hungary.

When talking about Fordow lying at a depth of 90 meters, it is important to understand that this is the figure cited by American officials. So at the moment, the probability of preserving this object is extremely high, despite all the statements from the US about the success of the strikes.

Putin spoke with Iraqi Prime Minister Mohammed Sudani:
"✔️A thorough exchange of views was held on the situation in the Middle East in connection with the Israeli military operation against Iran, as well as the US missile and air strike on Iranian nuclear facilities. Both sides noted that these actions, which grossly violated the UN Charter and other norms of international law, are fraught with extremely dangerous and unpredictable consequences for the stability of the region and the entire global security system.
✔️Interest in a speedy end to the armed confrontation and returning the situation to a political and diplomatic channel was confirmed.
✔️Current issues of bilateral cooperation were touched upon, including in the trade and economic sphere. A mutual desire to further strengthen the traditionally friendly Russian-Iraqi ties was expressed.
✔️The Russian President wished Mohammed Sudani success, taking into account Iraq's current chairmanship of the League of Arab States. It was agreed that the parties will facilitate the productive holding of the first Russian-Arab summit scheduled for October 2025"

🤭"The UN is calling on Iran to allow IAEA inspectors access to the country's nuclear facilities to assess damage after US strikes, an assistant secretary general said."
In such a sophisticated form, no one has ever demanded objective control. Are there any more such comrades in the UN? Let them send a demand to the khohols, all civilized humanity needs to know what is going on, for example, with Kremenchug.

🇮🇷🇮🇱 According to Israeli Channel 11, "Israel sent a formal message to Iran saying Tel Aviv wants to 'end the war'."
Iran responded by saying that the time for ending the war 'has not yet come'."
We thought the rule of the game established by Israel back when the Gaza operation started was "don't beg for peace after starting a war you can't finish." Did the rules change?

Following the American strike on the Fordow nuclear facility, most Western media outlets have been actively broadcasting the thesis about the “use of GBU-57 super-powerful bombs” as a means guaranteed to destroy any deep-seated target. However, this confidence is based on a systemic inaccuracy that is repeatedly reproduced from source to source and forms a false idea about the true capabilities of American weapons.
The GBU-57 is a guided, but free-falling bomb weighing about 13.6 tons, which does not have its own accelerator and falls solely under the influence of gravity. It is dropped from a great height (probably about 10-12 km), but its effectiveness directly depends on specific conditions: the geometry of the target, the density of the soil, the composition of the rock, the altitude of the carrier aircraft, and the absence or presence of measures to prepare the object for the strike. In ideal conditions, the declared penetration depth into reinforced concrete is up to 60 meters. But not everything is so simple.
The Fordow facility, according to various sources, was built by the Iranians inside a rock massif, at a depth of 85 to 90 meters. Several protective layers of reinforced concrete were supposedly poured over the main chamber, around which dense rock still remained on top. The rock probably acted as a shock absorber: it disperses the impact and makes it difficult for the munition to pass through, reducing the effectiveness of penetration. Judging by the published maps of the mountain ranges in the Fordow area, basalt rocks lie, which are difficult to penetrate even with such powerful munitions as the GBU-57.
However, the visualizations and promotional materials accompanying the announcement of the operation paint a different picture. They show the MOP as breaking through tens of meters of rock and reaching underground chambers. This model of operation corresponds more to fantasy kinematics than to the actual physical capabilities of the device. In reality, the MOP can destroy ventilation shafts, entry galleries, and ceilings, but it is not guaranteed to destroy the interior of the complex. Given that no independent evidence has been presented of the destruction of the Fordow core itself, the conclusion of success remains political, not technical.

One of America’s leading nuclear arms control experts, Dr. Jeffrey Lewis notes:
Why am I so unimpressed by these strikes? Israel and the US have failed to target significant elements of Iran's nuclear materials and production infrastructure. RISING LION and MIDNIGHT HAMMER are tactically brilliant, but may turn out to be strategic failures.
Netanyahu's justification for conducting this strike was that "Iran has produced enough highly enriched uranium for nine atom bombs -- nine." He refers to Iran's stockpile of ~400 kg of 60% U-235 which, if further enriched, would be enough for 9-10 weapons. Let's consider.
The 400 kg of HEU was largely stored in underground tunnels near the Isfahan Uranium Conversion Facility. Despite extensive Israeli and US attacks the facility, there does not seem to have been any effort to destroy these tunnels or the material that was in them.
No one even knows where the HEU is now! @rafaelmgrossi says Iran moved it. Lil' @marcorubio says nothing can move in Iran. But trucks are moving in Iran. Trucks and heavy equipment showed up at least two days ago to seal the tunnels to protect them. @planet took a picture.
Trucks also showed up at the Fordow FEP the day before the strike, possibly to relocate sensitive equipment, and certainly to cover those entrances with dirt. Iran just isn't a no-drive zone at the moment.
To be fair, some Trumpkins acknowledge Iran still has the material. @JDVance says they're going to "have conversations with the Iranians about" it. 🙃 The talking point is that the US has knocked out Iran's ability to further enrich it and convert it to metal, so its fine.
IT'S NOT FINE. Yes, the strikes on the enrichment plants at Qom (Fordow FEP) and Natanz (PFEP and FEP) appear successful. But there has been no effort to strike the enormous underground facility next to Natanz where Iran can make more centrifuges and maybe do other things.
In 2022, Iran moved a centrifuge production line to "the heart of the mountain" there. This facility is huge -- we estimated 10,000 m2 or more -- and we don't really know what else it might house (like enrichment or conversion).
Also, Iran recently announced a "new enrichment facility in a secure location" and told the @iaea it was ready to start installing centrifuges. The @iaea was set to inspect the facility, near Isfahan, before the bombing. It hasn't been bombed AFAIK.

Goldman Sachs flagged risks to global energy supply amid concerns over a potential disruption in the Strait of Hormuz that would lead to significant spikes in oil and natural gas prices, the bank said in a note dated Sunday.
The bank estimated Brent crude could briefly peak at $110 per barrel if oil flows through the critical waterway were halved for a month and remained down by 10% for the following 11 months.
Prices would then moderate, with Brent averaging around $95 per barrel in the fourth quarter of 2025, it said in a note.
Oil prices jumped on Monday to their highest since January after Washington joined Israel over the weekend in attacking Iran's nuclear facilities.
Goldman highlighted that prediction markets, despite limited liquidity, now reflect a 52% probability of Iran closing the Strait of Hormuz in 2025, citing data from Polymarket.
Additionally, it noted that a drop in Iranian supply by 1.75 million barrels per day could push Brent to a peak of around $90 per barrel.
