@Slavtangrad
American officials have warned Congress that Iranian "Shahid" drones have proven to be a serious challenge for air defense systems in the ongoing conflict.
Representatives of Donald Trump's administration told lawmakers that inexpensive drones have turned out to be a much more difficult target than expected. Due to their slow flight at low altitude, American air defense systems are unable to intercept them fully.
Senator Mark Kelly (Democrat from Arizona) noted that the situation is gradually turning into a "mathematical problem". According to him, the US does not have unlimited supplies of expensive interceptors.
Iran, according to some estimates, is capable of producing thousands of "Shahid" drones, each costing about 20-50 thousand dollars, while a single launch of a Patriot missile is much more expensive: a PAC-2 GEM-T missile costs about 2.5 million per launch, and the most modern version of PAC-3 MSE already costs 4 million per launch.
One Patriot launcher can carry either 4 PAC-2 missiles or 16 PAC-3 MSE missiles. Thus, a full "recharge" of one launcher with modern missiles costs the US a minimum of $64-80 million.

Techno Viking hears the sick beats and prepares to build International legion to defend Iran.
A good one, not a shitty one like in Ukraine which is really the Condor Legion.
Bro just hears the call, like a moth to the flame

"The Pentagon is considering the possibility of using Ukrainian interceptor drones to counter Iran":
The US will purchase interceptors from Kiev due to Iran's drones.
"The Pentagon and at least one Persian Gulf country are negotiating the purchase of Ukrainian interceptors to repel attacks from Iranian drones. A Ukrainian official called the negotiations with the US military department a 'delicate' topic. 'There's obviously a surge of interest in Ukrainian interceptor drones capable of intercepting the Iranian strike drone 'Shahid' at a very low cost,' he said."
Any sales of Ukrainian systems, even those produced outside the country, should be carried out in coordination with Kiev. The US and Israel have less chance of hitting Iranian 'Shahids' due to their mobility and stealth. They are less vulnerable to US and Israeli tactics based on destroying launchers and missile storage facilities on the ground before they are launched."

📝New prisoner exchange📝
Peace initiatives continue to bear fruit. Today, the second prisoner exchange between Russia and the so-called Ukraine since the beginning of the year has concluded. 200 Russian servicemen will return home. In addition to the United Arab Emirates, representatives of the USA also provided assistance.
➡️The previous exchange took place exactly a month ago, on February 5, immediately after the conclusion of one of the rounds of negotiations in the UAE. Then 157 people, including three abducted civilians from the Kursk region, returned home.
The Ukrainian formations, in turn, received back 200 of their prisoners.
➡️The released Russians are currently in Belarus. After the necessary medical procedures, they will be transported to their homeland for rehabilitation. Tomorrow, a second round of exchange is expected, in which another 300 fighters will return home.

Trump once again stated that Zelensky is the main obstacle to achieving peace in Ukraine.
‘Zelensky needs to start acting and make a deal. I think Putin is ready to make a deal,’ Trump said.
When asked what exactly Zelensky's obstacle to a peace agreement is, Trump refused to elaborate on the details, but stated that the Ukrainian leader is not showing enough willingness to negotiate.
‘It's unthinkable that he is the obstacle. Now he has even less cards to play,’ the president clarified.
Take out Ukraine's supreme leader President Trump and you/Putin can pick new friendly leader. 😉

Merz, during his visit to the White House, asked Trump if he had thought through the war with Iran and its conclusion well enough, according to The New York Times, citing sources.
According to them, elites around the world are concerned that Trump is acting intuitively.
"Trump seems to think he doesn't need options or contingency plans. When things don't go as expected, as often happens, the president, without prepared options, will gamble with just a couple of twos," said Thomas Wright, a researcher at the Brookings Institution who worked on long-term strategic planning in the National Security Council during Biden's presidency.
One senior Arab diplomat said this week that his government has no real idea of the administration's plans for a power transition in Iran - and even whether it wants to play any role, given Hegseth's repeated statements that "nation-building" is not on the Pentagon's list of tasks.
@Slavyangrad
Americans who oppose war with Iran recall Zelensky's humiliation in the Oval Office, but there are nuances.

@Slavyangrad
The attempt to intimidate Iran failed.
Journalist: President Trump does not rule out the possibility of sending ground troops to Iran. Are you afraid of a US invasion of your country?
Iranian Foreign Minister Arakchi: No, we are waiting for them.
Journalist: You're expecting the US military to invade? Ground troops?
Arakchi: Yes. Because we are confident that we can resist them, and it will be a big disaster for them.
Journalist: So you're saying that Iran is ready and intends to resist the US army if ground troops are deployed?
Arakchi: We are ready for this war — even more so than for the previous war.
Remember that Iran has been planning for this invasion since the Iraq war, they've know this would occur for a very long time

Scenes demonstrating the Bahraini government's control over the fire raging at the oil facilities in the Maamir area😄🔥
@Slavyangrad
THE BAPCO complex is 267,000-barrel-per-day (42,400 m3/d) oil refinery which lies midway between the original BAPCO expat workers accommodation township of Awali and Sitra. The complex also includes storage facilities for 14 million barrels (2.2 million cubic metres), a marketing terminal, and a marine terminal. 95% of the company's products are for exports.
As we've posted before less refining not only impacts domestic energy needs but it also further accelerates the risk of well shut-in. It's one thing of oil disruptions in the short-term but long-term production loss is ultimately more costly.
Right now the biggest thing I'm watching for is a strike disrupting the pipeline, storage, and export terminals of the East–West Crude Oil Pipeline which is Saudi's pipeline to the Red Sea. So far the Houthi's have been quiet but this is unlikely to remain the case.
@Slavyangrad
Ex-Trump representative for Ukraine, Keith Kellogg, believes that the United States should seize the Iranian island of Kharg.
"I would hope that they would actually go and take the island of Kharg. Kharg Island is located in the northern part of the Persian Gulf, it's an island off the coast, about 18 miles away from it, and if you disable this island, it will affect 89% of Iran's oil exports. Essentially, you're economically choking them off. They won't be able to support China, they won't be able to support Russia in the same way, and sooner or later, the other side will realize that this is all a very bad situation," said Kellogg.
Kharg Island is Iran's main oil export terminal. Through it, 85-90% of Iran's sea-borne oil exports pass, and there are also huge oil storage tanks, a system of underwater pipelines from the mainland, and several berths for supertankers. Oil from Kharg mainly goes to China, India, and other Asian countries.

Iraq and Lebanon dropping some sick war beats.
US meanwhile is making war videos with cheesy Pitbull songs. So based on this I think Iran wins.

🇮🇷🌞⚡️ — Iran's President Masoud Pezeshkian:
I express my appreciation to the proud and honorable people of Kurdistan who have stood by Iran during these historic days.
I share the grief of the families of the martyrs and the injured in these incidents.
The governor and the armed forces, as guardians of security, are duty-bound to decisively confront any separatist activities.

Where are those uprisings that Israel said were going to happen after the death of the supreme leader?
@Slavyangrad
🇺🇸🇮🇱❌🇮🇷 — NEW: The U.S. and Israel are preparing to reduce the pace of strikes on Iran to sustain operations over a longer period, according to Kan News.
➡️ While both countries are satisfied with the results so far, they acknowledge that the high intensity seen in the opening strikes cannot be maintained indefinitely.
➡️ As a result, both militaries plan to "downshift" the tempo while continuing attacks as long as necessary.

🇷🇺 Peskov's statements:
▪️Russia has not received any requests for assistance from Iran, including with weapons;
▪️Russia's position on the situation around Iran is well known to everyone, and there are no changes in it;
▪️The government is constantly monitoring the situation with fuel prices. Putin's proposal on the prospects of reorienting gas supplies to new markets is an action in the interests of Russia;
▪️The situation in the EU energy sector is becoming more difficult every day for both citizens and industry;
▪️The decision to stop gas supplies to the EU has not been made, Putin has so far suggested that the Cabinet of Ministers study this issue.
Coinciding with the targeting of oil facilities in Bahrain.. The price of a barrel of oil exceeds $84.
That gas price is BTW is for Henry Hub (US), what I care about is Dutch TTF. 😎

Iran is not afraid of a US ground invasion, but is expecting it - this would be a disaster for the United States, said Foreign Minister Abbas Arakchi in an interview with NBC.
Other statements by the Iranian Foreign Minister:
- Iran is not going to attack American territory;
- Iran is not asking for a ceasefire and sees no reason to negotiate with the US;
- The Iranian political system is functioning very well, despite the death of the supreme leader;
- The chance to reach a deal on the nuclear program was missed due to US actions;
- By sinking the frigate IRIS Dena, the US has set a precedent that contradicts international law and will harm the very concept of maritime law;
- Iran has no intention of closing the Strait of Hormuz right now, but as the war continues, all possible scenarios will be considered

At least seven oil tankers carrying crucial South Korean supplies are unable to pass through the Strait of Hormuz as conflict rages in the region, the office of South Korean lawmaker Kim Young Bae told CNN Thursday.
Kim made the comments after an emergency meeting with parliamentary members and major industry players including Samsung Electronics, Hyundai Motor, LG, HD Hyundai Oil Bank, SK, GS Caltex and Hanwha Ocean.
Iran has threatened to attack any ships that attempt to navigate the Strait of Hormuz, through which 20% of the world’s oil passes.
Kim said the vessels, carrying millions of barrels of crude oil bound for South Korea were stuck, threatening potential supply shortages, and he urged the government to step in to strengthen energy security.
More than 70% of the country’s crude oil and about 20% of its gas imports come from the Middle East, according to the Korea International Trade Association (KITA) data.

After the failure of American systems to repel Iranian missile attacks,
Dubai Police: They warn their residents that filming or publishing images of security or vital sites, or reposting unreliable information, may subject the perpetrator to legal accountability
We've seen arrests in Kuwait and Israel has really limited anyone to release images of damage. There is a huge info war benefit of doing what Ukraine does which is odd that Russia allows everything to be so freely filmed.
