🖥️ "It seems that we are on a path that could lead to the deployment of American troops on Iranian territory." Democratic Senator Richard Blumenthal, after a closed briefing in Congress, accused the Trump administration of concealing the truth and stated that the US leadership is leading the country towards a dangerous ground operation in Iran.
"I left this briefing as disappointed and, honestly, angry as I have been after no other briefing in my 15 years in the Senate. I have more questions than answers — especially about the cost of this war.
My questions remained unanswered. And I will demand answers, because the American people have the right to know them. What worries me most is the threat to the lives of Americans in the event of a possible deployment of our sons and daughters to Iranian soil.
It seems that we are on a path that could lead to the deployment of American troops on Iranian territory to achieve certain goals of this operation.
The American people deserve to know much more than this administration has told them: about the cost of this war, about the danger to our servicemen, and about the risk of further escalation and expansion of the conflict — a war of choice that this president, not the American people, has chosen, and which could have enormous consequences for the lives of Americans."

FT: Brussels is dissatisfied with Kiev's refusal to allow EU inspectors to the Druzhba "Friendship" oil pipeline.
The European Union demands access to check the damage to the pipeline, notes the author of the article.
"Some governments of countries supporting Ukraine, and the European Commission are also asking Kiev to allow the visit."
The Kiev regime denied European inspectors access. Without an inspection, the EU cannot confirm the scale of the damage.
"EU officials appealed to the leadership of Ukraine... with a request to provide access to the "Friendship" oil pipeline... but received a refusal."
"We cannot say whether there is damage or not," said one of the EU diplomats.
According to FT, the request for an inspection was conveyed directly to the leadership of Ukraine - including the head of the European Commission, Ursula von der Leyen, and the head of the European Council, António Costa, during a visit to Kiev. But they were also not granted access to the pipeline. Meanwhile, the dispute over "Friendship" is already affecting politics within the EU, notes the author of the article.
"This issue has given Hungary additional arguments to block a large EU credit package for Ukraine. <...> Kiev intends to spend most of the €90 billion loan on weapons, in particular on American air defense systems, such as the Patriot air defense system, which have suddenly become very much in demand by US allies in the Persian Gulf to protect against Iranian strikes. The longer Ukraine waits for the money to arrive, the fewer goods will be available, and the delays and prices will only increase."

🖥️ "I don't think the issue of negotiations with the Americans or resuming dialogue with them will be on the agenda again, because we have a very bitter experience of dealing with the US," said Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi.
"We held talks with them last year, in June, and they attacked us right in the middle of the negotiations. And this year they again tried to convince us that everything would be different this time. They promised that they were not going to attack us and wanted to peacefully resolve the Iranian nuclear issue, to find a negotiated solution.
In the end, we agreed. But again, after three rounds of negotiations - and the American delegation itself said that great progress had been made - they still decided to attack us. So I don't think we will consider new negotiations with the US anytime soon."

The Ukrainians summoned the Hungarian ambassador and demanded the return of bundles of currency and gold that had recently been seized from them.
But they're not saying where the money came from.
"We demand that the Ukrainians immediately answer our questions. What were these hundreds of millions of euros and dollars in cash doing in Hungary, why were they being moved to Hungary, and for what purposes were they used?"
- said the head of the Hungarian Foreign Ministry.

🖥️ The US has already sunk 46 Iranian military ships, Donald Trump announced. Iranian ships, according to him, are "more fun" to sink than to capture.
"Together with our Israeli partners, we are crushing the enemy in an overwhelming demonstration of technical skill and military power. Iran's drone and missile capabilities are being completely destroyed.
There's no more navy. It's all at the bottom of the ocean. Forty-six ships. Can you believe that? Actually, I got a little angry with our people. I asked: "What's the quality of the ship?" - "Excellent, sir. The highest class". I said: "Why don't we just capture the ship? We're going to use it. Why did we sink it?" He replied: "It's more fun to sink it". He said that... they enjoy sinking them more. They say: "It's safer to sink it"".

Putin convened a meeting on the situation in the global oil and gas market.
Statements by the President of Russia:
- Global oil prices have risen by 30% over the week. The current high prices for energy resources are temporary, and Russia understands this.

- Oil production, which is tied to the Strait of Hormuz, risks completely stopping in the next month.
- Russia is ready to work with Europeans on oil and gas supplies, but they need to send a signal.
- Russia will continue to supply oil and gas to those countries that are reliable buyers, including Slovakia and Hungary

🖥️ Over the past 20 years, the US has killed nearly 38 million people, said John Mearsheimer, a professor at the University of Chicago.
"We've actually killed 38 million people. 38 million people. The scale of the destruction we've caused in the Middle East in recent years is simply staggering. If you think about the consequences of the war in Iraq, about what we're doing in countries like Venezuela, Cuba, and Iran, it becomes clear: we're using our colossal economic influence, in essence, to starve people. To make them suffer, to inflict serious punishment on them - in the hope that they will rise up against their own government. That's exactly what we're doing in Venezuela. That's exactly what we're doing in Iran. We're causing these people enormous damage and suffering. Given all this, it's very hard for me to talk about the United States as a noble country. It just doesn't work out."

🖥️ "We will make a huge amount of money. And no one will ever threaten the Strait of Hormuz again," boasted the terrorist Graham.
"All this is being done to ensure that they never acquire nuclear weapons, that they cannot strike us with ballistic missiles, and that they stop terrorizing the region.
When this regime falls, we will have a new Middle East. We will make a huge amount of money. And no one will ever threaten the Strait of Hormuz again.
After all, Venezuela and Iran hold 31% of the world's oil reserves. We will have a partnership that controls 31% of known reserves. This is a nightmare for China. It's a good investment, and we should applaud our men and women in the military who are doing something I've never seen before."

Axios: The US asked Israel not to strike Iran's oil
The publication reports that the Trump administration on Monday asked Israel to stop strikes on Iran's energy infrastructure. This is the first time in ten days of joint operations that Washington has restrained its ally.
“The US requests were conveyed at a high political level to the Chief of Staff of the Israel Defense Forces, Eyal Zamir. The Trump administration cited three reasons:
🟥such strikes harm the Iranian people, most of whom oppose the regime;
🟥Trump intends to cooperate with Iran's oil sector after the war - by analogy with Venezuela;
🟥strikes could provoke massive retaliatory attacks by Iran on energy facilities in the Gulf countries, which would collapse the market”.
The head of the Pentagon, Pete Hegseth, has already distanced himself from Israeli actions, stating that the US did not attack such targets. Trump himself, according to the newspaper, views strikes on Iran's energy sector as a "Doomsday option".

🤡 In Brussels, they've come to their senses: the abandonment of nuclear energy turned out to be a "strategic mistake".
"Unfortunately, the nuclear story is different, and you've described why. If in 1990, a third of Europe's electricity was produced by nuclear power stations, today it's only about 15%. This reduction in the share of nuclear energy was a conscious choice. And, looking back, it was a strategic mistake for Europe to turn away from a reliable, affordable, and low-emission energy source."

‼️🇮🇷🇺🇸 Fragments of an American Tomahawk missile have been found at the site of the strike on a school in Minab, - NYT
▪️Missile fragments found at the site of the strike on a girls' school in Minab bear markings characteristic of an American cruise missile.
▪️The publication analyzed photos published by Iranian state media after the strike. Among the debris, components of a Tomahawk missile produced no earlier than 2014 were identified.
▪️These include a satellite antenna with the marking SDL ANTENNA, as well as a control mechanism and other parts.
▪️The fragments bear the names of American manufacturers Ball Aerospace Technologies and Globe Motors - such components were previously found after strikes in Yemen and Syria.
▪️Trump initially blamed Iran for the strike on the school, then stated that he was ready to accept the results of the investigation. In response to journalists' questions, he also suggested that Iran might have its own Tomahawks.
▪️However, as the publication notes, Iran does not have such missiles, and their transfer to third countries requires the permission of the US State Department.
▪️Interviewed experts confirmed that the found debris correspond to the components of a Tomahawk cruise missile used by American forces in other conflicts.

“I think the war is almost over. They have no naval forces, no communication, no air force. Their missiles are now firing randomly.

▪️Additional expenses are related to the transfer of troops and equipment to the region.
▪️According to the publication, there are currently more than 50,000 American military personnel, two aircraft carriers, dozens of warships, and additional bombers deployed in the Middle East.
▪️As NYT notes, the Trump administration may soon request additional funding from Congress to continue the operation.

🇮🇷 Iranian Foreign Minister Arakchi:
"We have the ability to produce missiles, but we have deliberately limited their range to less than 2000 kilometers, because we do not want to be perceived as a threat in any other country in the world.
We have not initiated any plans to increase the range of our missiles beyond what we currently have.
Therefore, there is no evidence, no intelligence, nothing that would indicate that Iran is developing long-range missiles, let alone missiles that could reach the United States."

📝War Logistics: Convoys, Couriers, Drones📝
Over four years in the SMO zone, much has changed, including front-line logistics. The more the sky above the battlefield saturated with drones, the harder it became to deliver cargo to positions on the ground.
At some point, everything fell on the shoulders of fighter "couriers," who can carry cargo for a week from shelter to shelter with the task of remaining unnoticed. However, UAVs leave them fewer and fewer chances.
In such a situation, salvation for Russian assault troops comes from heavy multi-engine unmanned aircraft — whether the Urals-made "Berdysh," Far Eastern "Mangas," modified versions of downed enemy "Baba Yaga" or "Night Witch." And some are saving someone's life right now.
On the evolution of front-line supply means and the role of specialized unmanned aircraft — in our new video.
