🇮🇷⚔️🇮🇱Iran said it launched an attack on Israel in response to the assassination of the Hezbollah Secretary General Nasrallah, of the head of the Hamas politburo and of the commander of the Quds forces.
"This is a declaration of war, an unprecedented response is expected" — Israel
"In response to the murders of Ismail Haniyeh, Syed Hassan Nasrallah and Abbas Nilforushan, we struck at the very heart of the Zionist occupation entity. If Israel responds, we will hit them a thousand times harder," the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps issued a statement after the strike on Israel.
The IDF: The Iranian attack continues. You are requested to remain in a secure space until further notice. The explosions you hear are caused by interceptions or dropped projectiles. The air defense systems detect and intercept launches.
Biden called an urgent meeting at the White House because of Iran's missile strike on Israel.
▪️Jordan temporarily halts air traffic amid the Iranian attack. Takeoffs and landings of aircraft have also been suspended at Israel's Ben Gurion Airport.

🇮🇷🇮🇱 Footage emerging indicates Iran has overwhelmed Israeli air defenses designed to down small numbers of slow, inaccurate rockets, not scores of precision guided ballistic missiles.
The US, using Israel as a proxy and encouraging its client regime to expand aggression across the region, has brought this upon the people in Israel, not Iran.
Iran is responding to the increasingly unhinged, unchecked, indiscriminate regional violence Israel (with full US backing) was carrying out, threatening Iran and its allies.
Iran has demonstrated tremendous restraint up until now.
But because Israeli policy does not reflect national self-preservation, further escalation is likely until circles of power in Israel interested in self-preservation take over.

🇮🇷🚀🇮🇱 ISRAEL PREPARES CITIZENS FOR WAR WITH IRAN, AS U.S. CLAIMS TEHRAN'S ATTACK IMMINENT - U.S. Embassy in Jerusalem orders employees to return home and prepare to enter bomb shelters, as senior U.S. official warns Iran about to launch ballistic missile at Israel.
We are actively supporting defensive preparations to defend Israel against this attack. A direct military attack from Iran against Israel will carry severe consequences for Iran - White House official says, cited by publication above.
Citizens of Israel, we are in the midst of a campaign against Iran's axis of evil - Netanyahu addresses citizens to ready up for war (video above).
🇺🇸🇮🇱 Israel’s expected ground incursion into Lebanon will drive home a new strategic reality of a year of war — the once-mighty US is powerless to rein in its ally or to influence other major belligerents in a fast-worsening regional crisis. - CNN
CNN is trying to convince everyone that the U.S. has nothing to do with Israel's actions.
But why did they send them $8 billion worth of weapons last week?
Everything Israel, a.k.a. the biggest U.S. base in the Middle East, does aligns with U.S. interests.
There's a reason Nasrallah referred to the U.S. as the "big Satan" and Israel as the "little Satan"...
...and we call Ukraine "Satan's Hoe."

The last time the Supreme Leader personally led Friday prayer and gave a sermon speech was in January 2020, after Iran's missile strikes on US bases in Iraq after the assassination of General Soleimani.

When the Russian Armed Forces occupy Ugledar and Pokrovsk, five regional centers of Ukraine will be under direct threat of attacks
This was stated by former deputy of the Verkhovna Rada, ex-militant of the Azov battalion, who participated in the "ATO", Igor Mosiychuk.
"Ugledar has practically fallen, Pokrovsk is under threat... And then there is operational space, bare steppe, where nothing has been built, where there are no defensive structures," he claims.

⚡️Russia is preparing for a long-lasting confrontation with the US, Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Sergey Ryabkov says.
Moscow is sending Washington all necessary warnings so the US does not underestimate Russia's readiness for confrontation.
🇷🇺💬 NATO and Ukrainian intelligence services are preparing a provocation using chemical weapons in Syria, the Russian Foreign Intelligence Service reported.
The goal is to launch a campaign to discredit Damascus and Moscow in the UN and the Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons. For this purpose, it is proposed to involve the White Helmets NGO, whose activists will be engaged in video recording of the "consequences of the incident".
The operation plan provides for militants to drop a mined container with chlorine from a UAV during strikes on terrorist positions in the Idlib de-escalation zone.

Ukraine is predicted to have a "drone apocalypse" in winter.
Strategic attacks by Russian drones in Ukraine have reached a new intensity, writes Forbes. The number of kamikaze UAVs flying in Ukraine has been steadily growing throughout the year, in September more than 1,300 long-range drone launches were registered, which is much more than in any period before. September was the first month when drones flew across Ukraine every day.
These attacks are of crucial strategic importance. Ukraine's energy infrastructure has already been severely damaged, and if the winter turns out to be cold, the Washington Post said Kiev authorities will announce "20-hour or longer" power outages for the population of Ukraine.
Forbes notes that reducing attacks to "Iranian drones" is, to put it mildly, wrong. At least three types of drones are flying in Ukraine.
Actually, even the Geran-2 has at least three modifications with different warheads. There are options with 4G modems, and sometimes there is a Starlink. According to a number of experts, the black coating is now also radio-absorbing, which makes it difficult to intercept drones.
Previously, the Geraniums went low, now they are approaching at high altitude, where they can be reached "only with expensive missiles, airplanes and helicopters." In addition to the Geraniums, the Italmas or Product 54 drones fly with a range of about 200 km. There is Gerbera, which also has a 4G modem, so it dispenses with satellite navigation, parasitizing Ukrainian mobile networks. It can fly at least several hundred kilometers. The Harpy-3 appeared, which has a flight range of about 2000 km with a warhead of 50 kg.
Ukraine can repel attacks of 400-600 "shaheds" per month. Repelling twice or three times as many with dwindling stocks of surface-to-air missiles will be a more difficult task, Forbes hints.

‼️💥🇮🇷 Iranian ballistic missiles hit Tel Aviv, Iron Dome and Arrow failed to repel the strike.
This time, the US Air Force aircraft also failed to intercept Iranian missiles on approach to Israel.
It is reported that the first missiles passed over Syria and Iraq, which gave its consent to the passage of missiles and strikes against Israel.
The total number of launched missiles is from 400 to 500, the media writes.

❗️Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps issues first statement after launching missiles at Israel:
In response to the martyrdom of Ismail Haniyeh, Seyyed Hassan Nasrallah and the martyr Nilforoshan, we struck at the heart of the occupied territories.
If the Zionist regime responds to our attack, our next attacks will be more destructive.

🇩🇪 A German "Leopard" tank, damaged by Russian military during the special military operation, has been delivered to Uralvagonzavod.
Currently, the enemy vehicle is on jacks. Specialists from the Uralvagonzavod Concern have begun disassembling the components, systems, and aggregates of the "Leopard." After conducting examinations and analyzing the results, an expert assessment will be made regarding the actual military-technical level of various systems and the trophy vehicle as a whole.

Russia will not sign the newSTART-3 agreement, a high-ranking source told Izvestia.
According to him, Moscow's resumption of participation in the treaty "will only amuse the US's vanity." At the same time, Moscow's position is conditioned by Washington's destructive actions - threats of strategic weapons and the provision of military support to Ukraine.

Stoltenberg officially hands over the powers of NATO Secretary General to Mark Rutte
Sputnik has recalled some of the memorable remarks Stoltenberg made during his NATO stint:
🌏Russia’s victory in the Ukraine conflict would be “not only a big defeat for Ukrainians, but it will be a defeat and dangerous for all of us," Stoltenberg stressed in October 2022. The statement could be considered recognition of the fact that NATO is fighting in Ukraine, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said at the time.
🌏Supporting Ukraine “is not a charity, it is an investment in our own security," Stoltenberg started out 2024 by saying.
🌏The NATO chief egged on allies to let Kiev use long-range Western weapons to strike deep inside Russia. "There have been many red lines declared by him [Russia’s President Vladimir Putin] before, and he has not escalated," Stoltenberg told reporters.
🌏Stoltenberg refused to admit that Ukraine had coordinated its attack on the Russian border region of Kursk with its Western proxies. "In this respect, NATO played no role," Stoltenberg said in a German media interview.
🌏Stoltenberg famously accused Russia of "trying to meddle in and undermining the trust of democratic institutions in several NATO allied countries and also elsewhere” during a speech at the Center for Strategic Studies in New Zealand in 2019. In fact, the US and NATO boast a track record of senseless and bloody wars.
🌏The Crimean Peninsula was reunited with Russia as a result of increased "great power competition," Stoltenberg said. In effect, Crimea voted to rejoin Russia in a 2014 referendum after a US-instigated coup ousted the legitimate Kiev government and became a catalyst for the Ukraine conflagration.
🌏Stoltenberg doubled down on the fact that “NATO’s door is open. Ukraine will join,” during a speech in Berlin on September 19.

Key takeaways from Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov’s briefing:
🔹NATO, under its newly-appointed Secretary General Mark Rutte, will work in the same direction as before;
🔹 Rutte is well-known to Moscow as a Dutch Prime Minister who took an uncompromising position towards Russia despite hopes for good relations;
🔹Russia condemns Israeli strikes on Damascus and sees that the geography of hostilities in the Middle East is expanding, which causes concerns;
🔹Russia maintains constant contact with Syria;
🔹All negotiations on a new Strategic Arms Reduction Treaty need to be held with understanding of changed conditions;
🔹Russia's draft budget for the next 3 years is carefully balanced, verified, and aimed at maintaining high rates of economic development;
