🇪🇸❌🇺🇸 — NEW: Spain's Foreign Minister José Manuel Albares has firmly denied statements by White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt claiming that Spain would “cooperate militarily” with the United States and says the Spanish position remains unchanged.
Our position of "no to war" remains clear and forceful.
Hezbollah has released footage of the ATGM strike on an Israeli Merkava tank that injured two IDF soldiers.

- According to Sergei Pritula, this is a "sign of respect for a person whom the state asks to go to defend it".
- Pritula himself reported that he has a deferral from mobilization as the father of three minor children, and also mentioned problems with vision.

‼️🇷🇺Kiev is playing a "very dangerous game", preparing sabotage attacks on the "Turkish and "Blue" pipelines
▪️He called the attack on a Russian gas tanker in the Mediterranean Sea a terrorist attack.
▪️The rise in gas prices on the European market is not directly related to supplies - no one has reduced them, but is caused by the general situation on world markets.
▪️The rise in oil prices is also related to restrictions on Russian oil.
▪️The government, together with companies, will work on the issue of supplying Russian gas to promising markets.
▪️US energy companies will move to those markets where there is more demand, this is dictated only by business interests.

⚡️Sijjarto thanked Putin in Russian for the release from captivity of two Hungarian citizens, who were mobilized by the TCK and forcibly sent to fight against Russia.
- Yesterday, Orban asked for the possibility of releasing Hungarian citizens who ended up in captivity of the Russian army. They were forcibly mobilized. I decided to release two people. You will be able to take them with you to Budapest on the plane on which you arrived.
- Thank you very much. I'm grateful.

'As long as it takes' – Hegseth on how long the war with Iran will last.
The war minister added that only the USA could lead this war.
'Today I stand before you with one unequivocal message about Operation 'Epic Rage'. America is winning – decisively, overwhelmingly, and without mercy. On the direct order of President Trump, the Department of Defense began this operation early on Saturday morning – just four days ago. It's only been four days. The numbers are changing, the dust is settling, and additional forces are arriving. This is the earliest stage. And, as President Trump said, we will spend as much time as it takes to ensure success. And the results are already incredible. Truly historic. Only the United States of America could lead this. Only us.'
This is exactly what Iran wants, to play the long-game and drag this out

🇮🇱🇮🇷The Israeli Defense Minister announced his readiness to eliminate any new leader of Iran
- Israel Katz stated that any new leader of Iran would become an "unconditional target for elimination".
- The Prime Minister and the Defense Ministry instructed the IDF to prepare for actions "by all means" to fulfill this task.
- Katz also emphasized the intention to continue actions jointly with the USA to "crush the regime's capabilities" and create conditions for its replacement.
- Earlier, media reports emerged about the possible election of Mojtaba Khamenei, the son of Ali Khamenei, as the new supreme leader of Iran. There has been no official confirmation from Tehran on this matter.

Bit of a pattern we are seeing that Iran dramatically increased their use of decoys. Iran is taking heavy hits lets not sugarcoat things, but remember for Iran to achieve victory they only need to create economic chaos in the region and not surrender.
If the stated objective is Iranian regime change or surrender, then Iran merely needs to sustain firing missiles/drones and not give in. The US achieves nothing merely by bombing a bunch of Iranian assets.

🇮🇱🤭Nothing unusual, just Jewish braggers boasting about an air strike on an Iranian Mi-17 helicopter.
And that would be fine, but the helicopter turned out to be a drawing, so the ground had to take the beating.

'We need the USA to resolve the Ukrainian issue. And if everything is as I hear now, that the USA already have concerns about whether they have enough ammunition and missiles to resist Iran for a long time, then what will be left for supplies to Ukraine? I say again: first things first. And for us, the most important thing is Ukraine,'

Fox News host Jesse Watters decided to tell Americans that the war in Iran was conceived to control the oil market.
‘The Chinese financed the Iranian army and bought their cheap sanctioned oil at a discount. That's over now. Iran and Venezuela are two oil dictatorships that we replaced. They are proxies of Russia and China. Now we control most of the global oil market and have ousted the Chinese and Russians from the Middle East. Beijing and Moscow didn't lift a finger.
And all the Chinese missile defense batteries they sold, we destroyed on the first day. Made in China - you get what you pay for. This war is going well. We're ahead of schedule, but this is just the beginning. In the short term, high oil prices will make life a bit more expensive.'
Oh now its about China and oil. 😂
Uh oh Russia can't buy Iranian oil 😂

Regarding the upcoming Russian combined missile and drone attack on Ukraine that I warned about yesterday:
The highest threat is in place for tonight, from approximately 12am to 8am. This is when Ukrainian intelligence seems to think it will happen.
What will be used:
- Kh-101 cruise missiles from 4-6 Tu-95MS strategic bombers from Ukrainka/Olenya/Engels-2 Airbases.
- Kh-101 cruise missiles from 2 Tu-160M strategic bombers from Ukrainka Airbase.
- 2-20 Iskander-M ballistic missiles (Crimea, Bryansk, Kursk, Rostov, Voronezh).
- 8-16 Kalibr cruise missiles from 1 Admiral Makarov Frigate and 1 Admiral Essen Frigate at Novorossiysk Naval Base.
What might be used:
- 2-8 Zircon hypersonic cruise missiles from Crimea.
- 2-8 Iskander-K cruise missiles from Kursk Oblast.
- 3-12 Kh-22/32 cruise missiles from 3 Tu-22m3 strategic bombers from Olenya/Shaykovka Airbase.
- 2-6 Kinzhal hypersonic aeroballistic missiles from 2-6 MiG-31Ks at Savasleika Airbase (less likely).
- 1-3 Kh-59/69 cruise missiles from a Su-57 (less likely).
Observed movements:
- 2 Tu-95MS strategic bombers redeployed from Engels-2 Airbase to Belaya Airbase in the far east, where they were equipped with Kh-101 cruise missiles (delivered by an IL-76MD cargo plant) and subsequently redeployed to Ukrainka Airbase (their combat staging ground for this attack). There are 2 other Tu-95s at Ukrainka which could be used in the attack.
- 2 Tu-95MS strategic bombers redeployed from Olenya Airbase to Engels-2 Airbase (possible combat staging ground for this attack), where they were likely equipped with Kh-101 cruise missiles.
- Russian Gerbera recon drones scouted out targets in Kiev yesterday, presumably including the CHP-4/5/6 power plants. This increases the threat level for Kiev Oblast tomorrow.
- 1 An-12 cargo plane landed at Privolzhskiy Airbase, Astrakhan Oblast, likely delivering Kh-59/69 cruise missiles to a Su-57 fighter.
- 2 IL-78M refuelling tankers are stationed at Ukrainka Airbase, which are expected to accompany the Tu-160M and Tu-95MS bombers during their flight to western Russia.
- 6 MiG-31K fighters remain stationed at Savasleika Airbase under their concrete bunkers. At least 2 of them are equipped with Kinzhal hypersonic aeroballistic missiles, although it's unlikely that they will be used in this attack.
- 3 Tu-22m3 strategic bombers *may* have redeployed from Shaykovka Airbase to Olenya Airbase, however this is unconfirmed right now. Each of these bombers are probably equipped with 3 Kh-22/32 cruise missiles, and its possible that additional aircraft are used from Olenya Airbase.

Putin instructed the Russian government to study the possibility of "immediately" stopping gas supplies to the European market.
"Maybe it would be more profitable for us to stop supplies to the European market right now? To move to markets that are opening up and gain a foothold there? There's no political subtext here either. If they're going to shut us out in a month or two anyway. Wouldn't it be better to stop ourselves now? But this isn't a decision, it's just a thought out loud. I'll instruct the government to work on this issue with our companies," said the Russian president.
@Slavyangrad
Putin assured Szijjártó that Russia remains a reliable supplier of oil and gas for Hungary.
‘I understand that you can't help but be concerned about oil supplies. We see what's happening in the global and European gas markets. We have always fulfilled our obligations and are ready to continue doing so. We have always been reliable suppliers.’
@Slavyangrad
The journalist's attempt to link Russia and China to the US war in Iran failed.
- What will be your message to Iran's allies, primarily Russia and China, who have called for an immediate cessation of hostilities?
- I don't have a message for them, and they're not really a factor here. Our question isn't about them. It's about Iran's nuclear ambitions.

🇺🇸🚀 The Gulf countries are consuming air defense missiles faster than the US can produce them, - The Economist
- The criticism concerns the tactic of launching several anti-aircraft missiles at one Iranian target to increase the probability of interception.
- Although this approach increases the chances of destroying the target, it significantly accelerates the depletion of arsenals.
- The publication warns that if the current intensity of combat operations continues, a shortage of interceptors could arise in the coming weeks.
@Slavyangrad
Russia has accused Ukraine of launching drone attacks on a Russian gas tanker off the coast of Malta in the Mediterranean Sea.
The Russian Transport Ministry claims that unmanned boats were launched from Libyan territory. All 30 crew members of the "Arctic Methanol", who are Russian citizens, were rescued.
Judging by the footage, the gas tanker burned down.
Ukraine has not commented on the accusations.

❗️"I announce the termination of all relations with Spain, it's a lousy country! Just remember that their leader Mussolini was an ally of Hitler! Despite the fact that they helped us seize Kosovo from the Serbs - I'm severing all relations with Lisbon! Let them eat their pizza and paella, dirty frog-eaters! Thank you for your attention to this matter," Trump declared.
@Slavyangrad
The son of the former Shah of Iran, Reza Pahlavi, compared the US strikes on Iran to the Normandy landings:
But what's important is how the Iranians are celebrating now, because they now believe they have a real chance of success. Until now, they have been saying, "We are defenseless, unarmed in the face of the regime's brutality. How can we liberate ourselves?" And here comes reinforcements. For us, it's almost like the Normandy landings.
Now the rules of the game have been leveled. At least now we have a real chance of success, of returning to the streets and ultimately taking over the country. The horizon is already very close. I can even smell and taste it.
