This could be a translation error so I’m cautious about putting it directly on SLG until we have better confirmation. The translation reads:
The moment of the destruction of the American-Israeli fighter jet north of Tehran.
Will likely just forward it there for now.
The US Central Command (CENTCOM) confirmed that B-52 Stratofortress strategic bombers were deployed for the first time to strike targets in Iran as part of Operation "Epic Fury".
According to the official report, in the first 72 hours of the operation, the US and Israel hit more than 1,700 targets. The B-52s joined the mission after the coalition's aircraft (including the B-2 Spirit and B-1B Lancer) suppressed a significant portion of Iran's air defense systems in the early days of the operation.
CENTCOM Commander Admiral Brad Cooper noted that the use of the B-52s was made possible by establishing "local air superiority". While the stealthy B-2s carried out precision strikes on nuclear and highly protected targets, the B-52s are now being used to systematically destroy military-industrial infrastructure.

One of the main mysteries for Israel and most global arms experts remains the new Iranian technology of separating warheads, which is somehow called "pseudo-cluster munitions". According to one version, Iran was able to quickly modify the warheads of its own missiles, and one of the achievements of the new approach was the reduction in the size of the warheads and an increase in their number in one missile.

This is going to give Iran more flexibility in launching missiles.

According to Chinese intelligence, Trump summoned Merkel to Washington so that she, as the head of Germany, could force the Eurozone countries to support the US and launch a military aggression against Iran with their armed forces.
Today, there is widespread confusion in the Eurozone about why the US initiated this conflict. Europe's economy and domestic politics, which are based in part on migrants from the Middle East, are under attack.

This is a lie. I assure you that the number of casualties is much higher.

Russia could benefit from Trump's war in Iran, Forbes writes, agreeing with Bloomberg's theses.
Due to the war in the Middle East, oil prices are rising, which will help the "suffering" Russian economy and allow it to further finance the war with Ukraine.
Iran will continue to buy Russian weapons. Russia has been and remains the dominant arms supplier to Iran - a third of all weapons purchased by Tehran since 1979 were Russian.
The prolongation of the war threatens the US with the depletion of stocks of critical ammunition, including interceptors for Patriot and APKWS missiles used to shoot down "Shahid drones". This will undermine the US's ability to provide military support to Ukraine, which will be beneficial for Russia.
"Moscow can once again adapt and hedge its bets, using the turmoil to achieve its broader strategic goals," Forbes believes.

Iran claims that during Operation "True Promise IV", most of the missile strikes on the Gulf countries were largely based on short-range ballistic missiles of the "Fateh-110" family. Iran allegedly has large reserves of missiles of this type and they, as stated, were not damaged during the 12-day war last year.

⚡️🇮🇱🇮🇷 Israel Defense Minister Katz:
Every leader appointed by the Iranian terror regime to continue and lead the plan to destroy Israel, to threaten the United States and the free world and the countries of the region, and to suppress the Iranian people—will be an unequivocal target for elimination.
It does not matter what his name is or the place where he hides.
The Prime Minister and I have instructed the IDF to prepare and act by all means to carry out the mission as an integral part of the objectives of Operation "Lion's Roar".
We will continue to act with full force, together with our American partners, to crush the regime's capabilities and create the conditions for the Iranian people to overthrow it and replace it.

Chinese state television CCTV showed footage of significant destruction in the center of Tel Aviv following a missile strike from Iran.
The channel's correspondent reported that the film crew was only able to work on the scene for about five minutes. According to him, Israeli security forces then demanded that the filming be stopped.

🇩🇪🤡German Chancellor Merz stated that Europe will not accept a peace agreement in Ukraine that is concluded without its participation:
The Russian giant is currently in a precarious position. That's why we want to find solutions, but also solutions that include Europeans. We are not ready to accept an agreement that was concluded behind our backs. Only when Washington exerts new pressure on Russia will President Putin be ready to make concessions.
In addition, I advocated for expanding negotiations between the United States, Ukraine, and Russia with the participation of Europeans. President Trump knows that only a peace supported and legitimized by Europe can be truly sustainable. He also knows that Europe's contribution to Ukraine's security, its reconstruction, and integration into Europe will be absolutely necessary for this peace.

Bloomberg reports the war has shifted into an attritional grind for the US as interceptor stockpiles slip into shortage.
Their figures say Iran has already pushed more than 1,200 Shahed drones into the battlespace, forcing the US to burn through air-defense missiles at a pace that opens the corridor for Iranian ballistic launches.
Bloomberg notes this drain is chewing up resources Washington originally earmarked for higher-tier adversaries, leaving the US exposed in a fight it never expected to sustain.

The EU is intensifying pressure on Kiev over the "Friendship" oil pipeline and demanding an inspection of the damaged pipeline, according to The Financial Times.
According to the publication, Budapest and Bratislava accuse Kuev of delaying the restoration after the January strike and claim that Ukraine is exaggerating the scale of the damage.
One of the senior EU diplomats said that Ukraine "scored an own goal", giving Hungary a reason to block funding.
"We can't say whether there are damages or not. There are very simple ways to document this and show that active restoration is underway. But this hasn't been done," he said.
In Kiev, they insist that the infrastructure was seriously damaged as a result of the Russian airstrike. The head of "Naftogaz", Sergei Koretsky, reported that after the strike, a tank with a capacity of 75 thousand cubic meters of oil caught fire, the fire was extinguished for ten days, and cables, transformers, and the leak detection system were damaged.
The Ukrainian authorities claim that they have provided evidence of the damage to their European partners and attribute the refusal to allow inspectors access to security concerns.
The dispute intensified against the backdrop of rising energy prices following the military actions of the US and Israel against Iran, which affected global oil and gas supplies.
