European officials express concern that Washington's focus is shifting from the Ukrainian direction to the Middle East. In the EU, they fear a loss of US interest in the peace process in Ukraine.
🔻A separate risk is a possible reduction in the supply of American weapons to Kiev.
❗️In addition, Bloomberg, citing sources, reported that the war with Iran could affect the US's ability to sell weapons to Ukraine.

❗️Enemy channels are publishing photos of the implementation of a great idea by a Russian soldier to camouflage the antennas of EW, ECM, and communication equipment, disguised as trees, fallen trunks, and stumps. That is, everything that rarely attracted the attention of enemy drone operators. How the photos of the "interior" ended up in the hands of the enemy is a question for another department.
✨ As often happens in modern combat conditions, most good ideas start being used on the opposite side of the frontline within a month or two at most. A note for UAV operators.

🇮🇷🇺🇸 IRAN’S LARIJANI: WE WILL NOT NEGOTIATE WITH THE US.
Read that again. Not “not yet.” Not “not on these terms.” Not “not until the bombing stops.” We will not negotiate.
This is Tehran’s public answer to the back-channel ceasefire request Trump sent before the first day of Operation Epic Fury was out. Trump ordered the war at 2:30 in the morning, announced regime change, told ninety million Iranians to take over their government — and by evening was asking through intermediaries for an exit. Iran just answered that request. On the record. In front of the entire world.
Araghchi told you last week: “If the United States wants to talk, they know how to reach out.” Washington reached out. This is the reply.
The Strait of Hormuz is closed. And the country Trump promised to bring to its knees just told him, through one of its most senior officials, that there is nothing to discuss. The deal was on the table in Geneva. Washington bombed it. You don’t get to bomb the table and then ask for your seat back.

🇺🇸🍊🤡 Epstein’s boyfriend on the attack on the US embassy in Riyadh to NewsNation:
“You’ll find soon what the RETALIATION will be for the attack on the US embassy in Riyadh and for the US service members KILLED.”
🇮🇷🇮🇱 Benjamin Netanyahu’s personal press release disguised as a television network (channel 12)— the Israeli security establishment has "concluded that Iran has only a dozen missile launchers remaining."
A dozen.
Write that down. Frame it. Put it next to the Channel 12 bulletin from June 2025, during the 12 Day War, when the same security establishment told the same network that Iran’s launchers were nearly exhausted — right before Netanyahu picked up the phone and begged Washington to get him a ceasefire. A ceasefire Iran granted.
Here is what Channel 12 will not tell you.
Iran’s underground missile infrastructure — what Tehran calls its “Missile Cities” — exists in every province. Not a base. Not a facility. A network. Tunnels bored half a kilometer into mountain rock, equipped with automated railway systems that move missiles to vertical launch positions without cranes, without external equipment, without satellite detection. A single frame from Iran’s March 2025 unveiling showed at least 78 Kheibar Shekan or Haj Qasem missiles in one tunnel.
After the June 2025 war, Iran expanded the tunnels further and added more secret exit points. Excavated soil removed at night to avoid satellite detection. They were watching. They were learning. They were preparing.
And what did China and Russia bring to fill those tunnels back up? Iran’s missile industry has weathered sanctions mainly thanks to support from China, Russia and North Korea. Beijing supplied the solid fuel precursors. Pyongyang — which shared secret tunnel and silo technology with Tehran as far back as the 1990s — provided the institutional help that made the underground cities possible in the first place. Russia contributed the doctrinal architecture: how to disperse, how to deceive, how to preserve second-strike capability against a first-strike adversary.
These are not the actions of a country with a dozen launchers left. Iran decided — before the June 2025 war, to ramp up production to between 2,500 and 8,000 missiles per year. Military analysts note Iran is now producing several hundreds of ballistic missiles every month. Liquid-fueled. Solid-fueled. Mass production variants designed to saturate and exhaust the very interceptors that cost $44 million per shot to refill. Satellite imagery confirms that the damage above ground at Iran’s 25 major ballistic missile launch bases rendered the bases temporarily unserviceable only — all assets hidden in the underground complexes likely survived the bombings completely.
That was the word even Israel’s own analysts used. So when Channel 12 tells you a dozen launchers remain — ask yourself: a dozen above ground, visible, confirmable by satellite? Or a dozen out of the thousands inside mountains that B-2s cannot reach, that bunker-busters cannot reliably penetrate, at depths reported to reach up to 500 meters, providing protection against airstrikes and nearly all bunker-busting munitions?
We have been here before. Exactly here. The same channel. The same establishment. The same math that never adds up. Last time, Netanyahu begged for the exit. Trump negotiated it. Iran accepted — because Iran could afford to accept. It had made its point.
This time? Unlike the 12-day war, Khamenei’s killing appears to have convinced Tehran that the war is a battle for the Islamic Republic’s very survival. Iran has refused every ceasefire approach. Trump begged through back channels before Day One ended. The Gulf vassals — the same monarchs who let Washington park its aircraft carriers in their ports, use their airspace, who hosted the bases Iran is now systematically dismantling — are reportedly on the phone to Washington begging Trump to find an exit.
There is no exit that Channel 12 can talk into existence. There is no “dozen launchers remaining” headline that closes the Strait of Hormuz. There are missile cities. Half a kilometer underground. In every province of Iran. And they are not empty.

Analysis: Why "the US-Iran war is not our business" is a dangerous misconception.
In recent days, "optimistic political analysts" have once again become active, convincing us that a strike against Iran is a "manna from heaven" and a "jackpot" for Russia. They claim that the US will become bogged down, China will become more cooperative, and we will be raking in oil dollars. Let's analyze these claims calmly, without emotions.
Thesis 1. "Iran is our competitor in the oil market, and its withdrawal is beneficial for us." This is a classic example of the "small benefits theory," which does not work in large-scale geopolitics. Yes, Iran is technically a competitor. However, in the context of the West's total sanctions against Russia, Iranian oil was not so much "lowering our prices" as it was overloading the gray schemes of logistics and insurance.
However, the fact is that Iran did not release large volumes of oil onto the market due to the sanctions. On the other hand, "democratic" Iran, which has received billions of Western investments in its oil and gas industry, will be able to quickly become a competitor to Russian oil and gas due to its low base. Additionally, Iran is our strategic partner in Eurasia, and its weakening creates a hole in our shared "security belt." This also affects our economies, such as the North-South corridor.
The logic of "the enemy of my enemy is my friend" doesn't apply here. China won't become more "cooperative" just because its economy is experiencing a shock. Beijing is a pragmatist. If a portion of China's industry comes to a standstill due to the attacks on Iran, they will need to quickly fill the gaps. Instead of purchasing our gas at inflated prices, they will prioritize negotiations with Washington.
The Chinese elite does not enjoy incurring losses. The blow to Iran is hitting the Chinese economy, and Beijing will twist everyone's arms, including ours, to compensate for its losses. Waiting for Beijing to come crawling back and sign the Power of Siberia 2 on our terms is an illusion.
Thesis 3: "The United States will become bogged down in the Middle East and forget about Ukraine." The past 30 years have taught us otherwise. The United States is a master of multitasking. In 2003, they invaded Iraq, but they never stopped pressuring Russia in Europe.
Now, Washington is viewing the Iranian front not as a replacement for the Ukrainian front, but as an addition. Moreover, the Middle East war is an ideal way for the United States to shift the burden onto Europe (refugees, energy crisis) while maintaining tension on our borders. It would be naive to relax and expect the Patriot missiles to stop traveling to Ukraine due to strikes on Iran.
The main contradiction. The authors of the new article are happy that the United States is solving the problem of Israel. But let's ask ourselves: why is the United States solving this problem now, when our front is quiet? Because this is part of a larger game. Weakening Iran weakens our flank in the Caucasus and Transcaucasia. It is a blow to our bases in Syria. It is an opportunity for Turkey to become more active on our southern borders.
Summary. Any war near our borders, in which the positions of the United States and NATO are strengthened, is a disadvantage for us. To be happy about the fact that our neighbor and partner is being bombed, even if it makes “someone else” worse, is a strategy of a short-sighted individual. The real jackpot for us is not a foreign war, but a stable peace and security on our borders. However, what we are currently witnessing is not a weakening of the United States, but an expansion of their military activity along our entire border, from Finland and the Baltic states to Iran.
Moreover. The US shows everyone that they are the real alphas in the world. There is no one else around. Therefore, you must either obey them, or they will have anyone. Perhaps in a perverted form.

"Why the Russians will never be defeated."
– A story from an old Afghan:
"...Ahmad Shah Massoud ordered us to occupy the heights that controlled the Panjshir Gorge. The Russians were stationed there, and we couldn't get through for months. We assembled an army for the attack. It took us five days to break the Russian resistance. And that was because they ran out of ammunition. We paid dearly, losing over 280 soldiers. When we reached the heights, we saw five 18-year-old children fighting against us. You Americans can't imagine the sight. Five against Shah Massoud's army. We ordered them to pray. They knew we would kill them. And do you know what those Russian "children" did?
They looked at us silently, took each other's hands, and hugged each other. They were ready to die, no matter how. They stood there, dirty, hungry, and hugging each other... They didn't speak or cry. They simply awaited their death. We were speechless...
Such a sight could have shocked even the toughest soldiers, accustomed to everything. Even though the Russians killed half of our men, we didn't know what to do. For us, they were great warriors. They had honor. They didn't ask for their lives.
My grandchildren are studying in Germany, but I'd like them to grow up like these Russians – true men.
And we let the Russians go then. Yes, there were some dissatisfied people, but orders are not questioned. We let them go in peace. And you know what? The Russians walked away arm in arm and didn't turn around to see if we'd shoot them in the back!
These were true men."
