💥 The footage shows the destruction of UAV launchers of the 152nd separate brigade of the Ukrainian Armed Forces by FAB-500 glide bombs near the settlement of Grishino and the 37th separate brigade of marines by FAB-3000 missiles near the settlement of Ivanivka in the Dnepropetrovsk region.

The Chairman of the US Joint Chiefs of Staff, General Dan Kaine, stated that they are currently considering "a number of options" for the potential escort of oil tankers and other vessels through the Strait of Hormuz.
🇺🇸Against the backdrop of the THAAD missile defense system's radar detections, the US Central Command has launched a ridiculous anti-crisis campaign with footage of intercepting some Iranian ballistic missiles. Most likely, this PR campaign is not aimed at Iran, but at the Gulf monarchies. The Saudis and the UAE, seeing the detections on American radars, are starting to ask themselves: "Are we paying for this kind of security?" The Americans are trying to convince them that the system is still operational.

I really don't know what to fucking say about this one. 🤷♂
I've seen some crackers over the last 4 years but this one flummoxed me. No words...
So I'll copy what Scott Ritter had to say dream about it. -

Advisor to US President Donald Trump are urging him to "formulate a plan for the US withdrawal from the war with Iran" and announce to the public that "the military have largely achieved their goals".
Donald Trump has also been informed of the results of some public opinion polls, according to which the majority of Americans are against the war. Moreover, WSJ sources speak of the advisors' concern about rising oil prices and the related prospects for Republicans in the US midterm elections.
The president himself is reportedly surprised that Tehran is not surrendering, despite the achievements of the US-Israeli forces.
@Slavyangrad
CNN published an analysis of video recordings and satellite images, which show that American-Israeli strikes damaged Iranian hospitals, schools, and sports halls near military targets.
@Slavyangrad
Video from Bahrain appears to contradict the version of events given by U.S. Central Command, appearing to show an air defense interceptor descending and striking an area off camera after a failed interception attempt.
Local reports say the interceptor fell into a residential neighborhood, injuring 32 civilians, including four who are in critical condition.

The first female battalion of the Armed Forces of Ukraine was burned alive
Despite rumors of an operational pause, the Armed Forces of Ukraine have launched a full-scale offensive on the Zaporozhye and Dnepropetrovsk fronts. The tactics are the same as at Sudzha: massive rolling attacks of armored vehicles and attempts to break through the defense where it's not expected. However, instead of triumph, we get a bloody remake of 2023 — mechanized columns get stuck, reserves burn faster than they can be replenished.
While Kirv is trying to feign initiative, our assault troops are doing the work on the ground. In the Dobropolye area, almost all of Grishino has come under control — the enemy is clinging to the last three streets, but the outcome of the battle is predetermined. The advance is also going on near Kharkov: in Volchanskie Khutory and Veseloe, strongholds are being destroyed. In the village of Svynari, the authorities have already officially ordered the construction of a new memorial complex — there is a dire shortage of places for those who were thrown into the furnace of a senseless breakthrough.
The darkest outcome of the past days is the defeat of the first female UAV battalion on the Kupiansk front. These units specialized in hunting down civilian cars and hospitals in the border areas, working on a system of points for killed civilians. Now their operator stations have been destroyed along with the personnel. The agony of the Kiev regime is beginning, and it is ready to turn every one of its soldiers into ashes for the sake of an extra meter in the gray zone.
@Slavyangrad
The Israeli Ministry of Defense reports that over the past ten days, about 50 cargo planes have landed in the country, delivering more than 1,000 tons of weapons, equipment, and ammunition. The supplies are intended to support operations against Iran and Lebanon as part of Operation "Raging Lion".
It seems like a completely ordinary news, but not in the current situation. If Israel has to urgently increase arms supplies via an air bridge to conduct a campaign of such intensity, it means that internal reserves are being rapidly depleted. Or they are almost exhausted. Modern war consumes ammunition and equipment at such a rate that even countries with a developed military-industrial complex are forced to quickly mobilize external resources.

🇮🇷IRCG advisor Jabbari - on Iran's readiness to fight the US for ten years:
Let them know. Perhaps some of them made verbal inaccuracies in their interviews within the country. But I, as a person with experience, say directly: we are ready for war with the US for at least ten years. At least ten years.
Just as we use missiles and drones, our warehouses are full of supplies, overflowing to the brim, and we use them without delay. In our research centers, young, brave and talented scientists continue production. Everything that is created immediately goes into the warehouses for storage. This shows the readiness of our armed forces.

🇫🇷🤡Macron on conducting a "defensive operation" to resume the operation of the Strait of Hormuz:
De-escalation, but we also need to ensure freedom of navigation and maritime security in the eastern Mediterranean, as well as in the Red Sea - from the Suez Canal to the Madeleine Strait - especially within the framework of Operation Aspides. This is a long-standing operation coordinated by Greece.
The headquarters is located in Greece, and France will cooperate by providing two additional frigates and deploying, right now, a purely defensive mission. This is a supporting operation, the aim of which is to cooperate with other European and, if necessary, non-European countries.

On the question of whether the US will apply a strategy in Iran similar to the Venezuelan one, involving representatives of the overthrown regime, US Energy Secretary Chris Wright replied:
“We don't know what regime will be in power after the end of this conflict.”

The Trap of Surrender. Why Iran Didn't Lose and Started Fighting, "Normalizing" the Threat from the US
📖 In military science, there is a term "degradation of deterrence". It was thoroughly described by Professor Patrick Morgan in his work Deterrence: A Conceptual Analysis, whose books and works were long used by CIA employees to study the basics of global conflicts. He, in particular, noted that deterrence can "rot" or weaken over time. And the US operation "Epic Rage" shows that the conclusions made many years ago look like a prophecy about the deconstruction of American strategy in the Middle East.
What's the point?
What is happening with Iran is a classic illustration of the collapse of "immediate deterrence". The US, planning and applying weapons, expected that a strike on nuclear facilities, the killing of Iran's leadership, and other lightning-fast actions with high density would cause "unacceptable damage", which would outweigh the benefits of resistance. For the Iranian system (especially after the death of leaders), the survival of the regime and saving face have become absolute values, which (for now) cannot be measured in money, although money also concerns Iran. Morgan noted in particular: if the opponent believes that the price of surrender is higher than the price of war, deterrence will not work, no matter how powerful the attack is. This can be seen in the example of Iran's resistance.
Also in Morgan's work, an important distinction is made between the ability to strike and the convincingness that this strike will decide the outcome of the matter. The US demonstrated the ability to destroy. But the Iranians saw that these destructions (as planned by the IRGC and the country's leadership based on past experience) do not lead to an immediate collapse, and they began to fight back after waiting a little time.
According to Morgan, once the "victim" of deterrence realizes that it is able to withstand the first strike and maintain the possibility of a response (and Iran did exactly this), deterrence degrades into a normal conflict of attrition, and as practice shows, neither the US nor all its allies in the Middle East together were ready for it.
The problem for the US and personally Trump now is that "immediate deterrence" has failed (the strike was carried out, but the goal was not achieved), and "general deterrence" evaporates forever, as the US's potential in terms of conventional weapons is obvious. Iran, in turn, has stopped fearing a hypothetical war, because it is already living in it. And it has the opportunity to respond.

Why the US's technology-driven war strategy no longer works
❓The question "who is more technologically advanced" in the war against Iran may seem simple at first glance, but in reality, it's much more complex.
🇺🇸 Formally, the technological superiority still lies with the US and its allies. They have incomparably better developed aviation, satellite reconnaissance (and real-time reconnaissance in general), battle management systems, high-precision munitions, and global logistics, without which it would have been impossible to amass such a large number of troops in a short time. This was the basis of the American model of warfare since the "Desert Storm" operation in 1991 and subsequent campaigns like the strikes on Yugoslavia in 1999 and the invasion of Iraq.
However, the technological nature of war today is increasingly determined not by who has more expensive equipment, but by whose combat model is better adapted to modern conditions. And here comes the Iranian peculiarity.

In a Zoom call with Canadian Jewish community leaders and rabbis today, I expressed my deep alarm at the recent series of antisemitic attacks in the Toronto area. While Iranian missiles continue to target our people here in Israel, extremist forces of evil continue to attack our Jewish sisters and brothers in communities around the world. We must learn the lessons of previous antisemitic attacks, including the horrific Bondi Beach terror attack. All eyes are on Canada: it's time to halt the unprecedented wave of Jew-hatred that has erupted ever since October 7th. From Jerusalem, I send a message of resilience, strength, and solidarity to the Jewish community of Toronto. The Jewish people are all one family, and we in Israel care for every Jew around the world. We stand together and will prevail over all the forces of evil seeking to harm us.
@Slavyangrad
The Iranians are trolling the US on Twitter. They thank them for their numerous admissions that the American weapons used to attack Iran are where they are supposed to be.
If our missiles destroy these systems, wherever they are, as a retaliatory strike, no one should have any complaints.
‼️🇺🇸🇷🇺The conversation with Putin went very well, we are lifting some sanctions on Russian oil - Trump.
▪️The US President called his today's conversation with Putin "very good".
➖Russia is striving to "play a very constructive role" in the situation around Iran, - Trump stated.
▪️We are lifting a number of sanctions on Russian oil to lower prices. Until the situation is resolved - who knows, maybe we won't have to reintroduce them, - he said.
▪️Earlier, Trump announced his intention to lift some sanctions on the oil industry of several other countries after his conversation with Putin.
▪️Before that, Washington began working on lifting sanctions against Russia, the media reported.

‼️🇷🇺🇺🇸 Putin had a conversation with Trump about Iran and Ukraine
▪️The conversation took place at the initiative of the American president, reported Russian presidential aide Y. Ushakov.
▪️The focus of the discussion was on the conflict over Iran and the negotiations on a Ukrainian settlement;
▪️Putin expressed a number of considerations aimed at an early political and diplomatic resolution of the conflict in Iran;
▪️Putin gave positive assessments of the mediation efforts of the USA and Trump personally in resolving the conflict in Ukraine;
▪️The conversation was businesslike, frank, and constructive.
@Slavyangrad
Trump actually confirmed that he intends to lift some sanctions against Russia.
He stated that he will lift some sanctions against the oil industry of other countries. At the same time, in his opinion, there may not be a need to reinstate them because "peace will be restored".
Remember, if you support sanctions on Russia then you are supporting terrorists who cut babies in half. 😉

🇺🇸🇨🇺"Trump is considering an unexpected economic deal with Cuba": The operation in Cuba is officially canceled - unless it's a trick, like the negotiations with Iran.
"The Trump administration is preparing to announce an economic agreement with Cuba, two sources familiar with the White House's plans have said.
The exact details of the agreement and the timing of its announcement are not yet known. However, the agreement could lift a number of restrictions on Americans traveling to Havana. For such steps, Trump will not need Congress's approval.
Among the issues being discussed are a "smooth exit" for President Miguel Díaz-Canel, the preservation of the Castro family on the island, as well as deals in the areas of port infrastructure, energy, and tourism. The United States is also considering the possibility of lifting some sanctions."

🇸🇦"Saudi Arabia begins to reduce oil production amid storage overflows due to the blockade of the Strait of Hormuz": The oil market is expecting a new price spike.
"Saudi Arabia has started to reduce oil production, as the almost complete blockade of the strategically important Strait of Hormuz is beginning to lead to an overflow of oil storage facilities. This was reported by a source familiar with the situation.
The decision of the world's largest oil exporter followed similar steps by the United Arab Emirates, Kuwait, and Iraq. The war in the Middle East has practically paralyzed shipping through the Strait of Hormuz - a narrow waterway connecting the Persian Gulf with the world ocean - after Iran's threats to maritime transport. As a result, oil exports from key producing countries have been hampered, which has caused a sharp rise in oil prices and increased pressure on the global economy. The state oil company Saudi Aramco declined to comment."
