🇮🇱🤡Israel's Defense Minister, Katz, declared the complete superiority of Israel's air force in the skies over Iran.
The showdown is getting closer, and the Coalition's ammunition supply is not infinite.

⚡️ Iranian Ayatollah Shirazi declared a jihad (holy war) against the USA and Israel.
Earlier, the Secretary of the National Security Council of Iran stated that today Iran will strike the USA and Israel with a force they have never experienced before.

After the death of the supreme leader, his successor is to be determined by the Assembly of Experts, a body of 88 clerics. An official heir has not been announced at this time, reports CNN.
Among the possible candidates are mentioned:
Mojtaba Khamenei - Khamenei's son, who is influential and has connections with the IRGC. However, he is not a high-ranking ayatollah, and the very idea of dynastic succession to power is controversial.
Ali Reza Araqi - the deputy head of the Assembly of Experts, a representative of the religious establishment, but without the status of a major political player.
Mohammad Mehdi Mirbagheri - a radical conservative cleric, known for his hardline anti-Western stance.
Hasan Khomeini - the grandson of the founder of the Islamic Republic, Ruhollah Khomeini. He has symbolic legitimacy, but limited influence on the power structures.
Hashem Khosseini Bushehri - the first deputy chairman of the Assembly of Experts, close to the current system, but without broad public support.
The Iranian authorities have declared a 40-day mourning period.

The problem of mobilization and mass desertion will be addressed by recruiting foreigners into the Armed Forces of Ukraine (AFU).
This was stated by Ukrainian Defense Minister Mikhail Fedorov at a joint briefing with the head of the Dutch Defense Ministry, Dylan Yesilgoz-Zegerius.
According to him, a comprehensive plan has already been developed to address problems with mobilization and cases of desertion. The document has undergone "stress tests" during discussions with commanders on the frontline and military experts.
"Our comprehensive plan to address problems with desertion and mobilization includes certain decisions on how to increase the number of foreigners in Ukraine," the minister noted.
He added that the phased adoption of specific decisions will begin in the coming months and emphasized that he is personally focused on this issue.

Let's reason.
What have the USA achieved?
▪️There's no change of power in Iran
▪️There's no change of course yet either
▪️It's not known whether work on the nuclear program has been halted or not
▪️A significant part of the military infrastructure has been destroyed, but the IRGC almost certainly has some trump cards (possibly several) up its sleeve
▪️There are (so far) no protests, the people are actively taking to the streets in support of the Ayatollah
▪️If the main goal is to derail/destroy Iran's nuclear program, then strikes will have to be repeated (for this, they hit the air defense/air force to break through a corridor for the B-2 to fly through again), and the conditions for this are generally in place.
What options does Iran have
▪️Start hitting Israel as they did last year
▪️Start hitting US bases in the Middle East even more actively. What would this achieve? At a minimum, it would make it clear that any country in the Middle East is within range of their missiles.
▪️Finalize the development of nuclear weapons (at least, try to do so)
▪️Mobilize the population (90 million is no joke)
What is unknown
▪️The USA's further plans for strikes
▪️The USA's further plans for regime change in Iran
▪️Iran's further plans for US bases in the Middle East (aircraft carriers? US allies in Jordan and Saudi Arabia?)
▪️Iran's further plans for a political course (here, there could be diametrically opposite options - either radicalization or a backroom deal)

‼️🏴☠️🇧🇬 Kozloduy Nuclear Power Plant: Dangerous Consequences Due to the Rejection of Russian Parts
▪️ The sixth unit of the Kozloduy Nuclear Power Plant has already been shut down twice this winter, and after the completion of the December repair, the reactor was stopped three more times. The main reason is the replacement of Russian parts with alternative ones: in particular, safety devices with a rupture disc MPURS-250-16 for separators-steam superheaters SPP-1000. The installed analogues do not guarantee reliable and stable operation of the equipment.
▪️ The incident attracted attention at the highest level: the station's director, Ivan Andreev, was invited to give explanations in parliament, and the General Prosecutor's Office launched an investigation. Deputies discussed with the station's management possible deviations from regulatory requirements related to changes in design solutions and the use of uncertified components, which resulted in unplanned shutdowns of the power unit and significant financial losses.
➖ The station's head noted that the NPP is actively exploring alternative technical options in the face of restrictions on equipment supplies from Russia. At the same time, in early February, the Bulgarian government gave permission to Kozloduy to continue purchasing the necessary equipment in Russia - both under existing contracts and through the conclusion of new agreements.
You don't but knockoff parts when dealing with a NPP.... FFS

Very powerful airstrikes on Tehran.
The ground is literally shaking throughout the city.
Massive strikes are also being carried out in the suburbs of the Iranian capital.

According to one hypothesis, after the assassination of the Ayatollah, there may be an attempt by the IRGC to seize power, and the Iranian clergy may allegedly be pushed into the background. The IRGC has much to lose in the event of a defeat and has always been determined. However, here too, Iran will have to choose a strategy wisely - either to quickly develop nuclear weapons and demonstrate its readiness to use them, or to opt for the least unpleasant option of peaceful agreements with the USA. It also matters whether the Americans will try to foment protests in Iran again or not.

Air strikes by the US and Israel have been carried out on the 'Imam Ali' missile base in the rural area of Kermanshah, in western Iran.
This base was used for recent launches of ballistic missiles. The IRGC forces were not injured.
The US does not manage to launch aircraft immediately after the launches, and the IRGC hides its equipment and launchers in 'hiding places'.

Two missiles were launched from Iran towards Cyprus, where British bases are located and thousands of military personnel are stationed, said British Defense Minister Healey.

🇺🇸🇮🇱🇮🇷 Bloomberg: The US and Israel's ammunition supplies could be quickly depleted if Iran maintains a high intensity of strikes.
To intercept a single target, two to three anti-aircraft missiles are usually used. However, last year, the US and its allies significantly depleted their reserves.
As the agency notes, during the last year's conflict, the US launched about 120 anti-missiles from THAAD systems, and purchased only a few dozen of them throughout the year.
According to experts, the US is spending interceptor missiles faster than it can produce them.

Iran opens the Strait of Hormuz for the passage of tankers, but warns Washington about retaliatory measures.
Former commander of the IRGC, General Mohsen Rezaei, in an interview with the Financial Times, stated that the artery of the global oil export will operate "until further notice".
At the same time, he announced that the American military and their contingent in the region are now considered "legitimate targets" for Tehran.

The spokesperson for the Iraqi government said:
With great sorrow and sadness, we express our condolences to the noble people of Iran and the entire Islamic nation on the passing of the world's great and valiant leader, His Eminence Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, whom we count among the first martyrs of the Prophet's family. This was a result of a blatant attack and reprehensible act that violates all human and moral norms, and in clear violation of international laws and conventions.
With the passing of the martyred leader, His Eminence crowned his journey of serving the Iranian people with the crown of martyrdom and loyalty to principles, defending his nation against injustice and tyranny, advocating for the path of righteousness, and striving to serve the causes of the Islamic nation and humanity as a whole.
In this context, Iraq renews its serious call for an immediate and unconditional halt to military operations and actions, which are pushing the region to unprecedented levels of violence, fuelling conflict, and undermining international peace and security.
The Iraqi government also declares a three-day period of national mourning across Iraq.
May God have mercy on the blessed martyr, and may the gardens of eternity be the abode of all our nation's martyrs in the highest ranks.
Indeed, we belong to God, and to Him we shall return.
The second wave of ballistic missiles launched from Iran towards Israel has reached its targets. Some of them were shot down.
Iran continues to launch missiles and drones at a remarkable frequency.

🇷🇺Russia's Permanent Representative to the UN, Nebenzia, on the fact that Trump's accusations about Iran's nuclear weapons are unfounded:
The actions taken by Washington and West Jerusalem are nothing but another unprovoked act of armed aggression against a sovereign and independent UN member state, in violation of the Organization's Charter and fundamental principles of international law. They are openly aimed at further interference in Iran's internal affairs and the destruction of a state inconvenient to the West.
The statement made today by US President Donald Trump that this operation is aimed at preventing Iran from obtaining nuclear weapons is unfounded. Tehran has consistently stated that it has no such plans and is complying with its obligations under the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons. It's worth recalling that the only source of reliable information on this matter - the specialized reports of the IAEA Director General have never indicated that Iran could be engaged in the development of nuclear weapons.
