    NEW:

    🇮🇱🇺🇲🇮🇷 The United States Navy has deployed 5 ships off the coast of Israel to help intercept Iranian ballistic missiles

    This is alongside the many systems Israel already uses to defend itself, including THAAD, David Sling, Arrow-2 and Arrow-3, Patriot, Iron Beam and Iron Dome, as well as Sa'ar-6 vessels and fighter jets.

    Iran is now effectively up against more than 10 seperate layers of Israeli missile defenses.

    🇷🇺 Russia and Iran are Fighting the Same Forces

    "We support Iran in its struggle for its legitimate interests including in its pursuit of peaceful nuclear energy.

    Some say we should’ve done more—more what? Start some kind of military operation? Is that it?

    We already have military operations underway with those we consider opponents of the ideas we are defending, and those who pose threats to the Russian Federation.

    And at the core, essentially, these are the same forces."

    On the other hand...

    ❗️Israel received 14 cargo planes carrying military aid from the United States and Germany.

    https://x.com/Cyberspec1/status/1935838736207823169




    🇺🇸📦🇮🇱Israel confirms 14 USAF Cargo planes and an non-mentioned amount of ships landed in Israel carrying supplies and weapons from United States

    This happens as Israel started to ration missile interceptors used to engage Iranian missiles.

    In Statement, Israel said: The Ministry of Defense continues the air and sea transport of military equipment and armaments to Israel. Today (Thursday), cargo planes with military equipment for the defense establishment landed in Israel.

    This is part of strengthening operational continuity and supporting all the needs of the IDF, both to realize war goals and to improve readiness and supplies.

    Since the start of Operation "Rising Lion," 14 planes carrying military equipment have landed in Israel, joining the more than 800 planes that have arrived in Israel on the Defense Ministry's air train since the outbreak of the "Iron Swords" war.

    The large-scale transportation operation, which is expected to continue, is a joint operation by the Defense Procurement Administration (DPAA) through the International Defense Transportation Unit, the procurement missions in the US and Germany, the IDF Planning and Force Building Branch, and the Air Force.

    Tulsi finally responded to all this confusion the media is putting out about her concerning her position on Iran.

    Quote https://x.com/DNIGabbard/status/


    The dishonest media is intentionally taking my testimony out of context and spreading fake news as a way to manufacture division. America has intelligence that Iran is at the point that it can produce a nuclear weapon within weeks to months, if they decide to finalize the assembly. President Trump has been clear that can’t happen, and I agree.

    "I Told You Something is Coming & Now It's Here... | Seyed Mohammad Marandi”
    (15:46)
    "In this powerful conversation, Seyed Mohammad Marandi delivers a sobering analysis of the escalating tensions between Iran, the U.S., and Israel. He warns that Western powers continue to underestimate Iran’s resilience and regional strength, with the potential consequences being far more devastating than the Great Depression. Marandi explains how Iran’s deep cultural, religious, and historical roots fuel its resistance, while the global power structure rapidly shifts away from Western dominance. He discusses the vulnerability of U.S. military operations, the risk of economic collapse, and the possibility of false flag operations designed to manipulate public opinion. As alliances shift and propaganda narratives collapse, Marandi paints a picture of a world on the edge of a major realignment, where the collective West faces increasing isolation, and the Global South rises as a new center of influence."
    "Is there an idea more radical in the history of the human race than turning your children over to total strangers whom you know nothing about, and having those strangers work on your child's mind, out of your sight, for a period of twelve years?" John Taylor Gatto

    🇷🇺🇮🇷🇺🇸 Putin, today:

    “Despite the risks, we built a reactor in Bushehr and signed a contract for two more. We are not evacuating personnel. We raised this issue with Israel and President Trump: we act within international law and demand the safety of our staff.”

    A quiet but clear warning: Russia isn’t leaving Iran—and if Israel or the U.S. puts Russian lives at risk, the consequences will escalate.

    The Deputy Foreign Minister of Iran, Majed Takht Ravanhi, sat for a twenty-minute interview with Christiane Amanpour (Iranian/British heritage) of CNN. He was well-spoke, clear-minded and a seasoned diplomat. The discussion about enriching uranium starts at the 10:50 mark. Key points below.
    • Iran is a member of the Treaty for Non Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons (NPT)
    • Iran has enriched uranium to 60% (they discuss this at the 10:50 mark)
    • Iran has approximately 400 kg of enriched uranium
    • Iran has enough enriched uranium to make approximately 10 nuclear bombs
    • Iran has doubled the amount of enriched uranium since Trump was inaugurated in 2025
    • IAEA stated that they have never seen that amount of stockpiled (400kg) enriched uranium by any country that did not already have a nuclear weapon.
    • Point of reference, uranium only needs to be enriched 3-5% for nuclear power plants.

    Iran's nuclear activities expanded significantly in the late 1980s. Over the years, concerns grew internationally about whether Iran was seeking to develop nuclear weapons, leading to various negotiations, agreements, and sanctions. Iran spent more than a decade assembling the material (reflector material, explosive lenses, centrifuges, detonation mechanisms, etc) to make a nuclear weapon. Then they spent several decades playing cat and mouse with the world as they upped the ante on uranium enrichment. Now we have arrived at a juncture where they have all the material, and they have enriched enough uranium to be just below weapons grade, which would produce 10 nuclear bombs.

    Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei has historically made statements supporting the idea of Israel’s eventual destruction, and he has gone so far as to install a clock located in Tehran’s Palestine Square, symbolising Iran’s long-standing stance against the existence of the Israeli state. The countdown clock was set to mark the year 2040, which is when Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei predicts there will no longer be a State of Israel.

    So the only question left without discussing right or wrong and assessing blame is should Iran have a nuclear weapon?

    'Pakistan's in the US's inner circle - at least for now'

    US President Donald Trump hosts Pakistan army chief Asim Munir for an unprecedented White House lunch, as experts say Washington is resetting ties with Islamabad.

    Of course -- it's not a real country -- just "Israel of the east".

    It's allowed fake western-backed jihadi training camps go on forever, to which, the recent problem with India bears witness. They did say it should be "under Islamic rule" again. In turn, these jihadis cause problems with Iran and are always trying to blow something up over there.


    But then it has a massive separatist faction the Balochistan Liberation Army, which we paid little attention to, since it took over Quetta.

    It's strategically important for as long as China sees its interests in benefitting from a quick land route to west Asia. Otherwise, it's not. It's more interesting because it still has undeveloped villages that barely have roads going to them. It's a great location, but, that's got to be a complex situation. The main thing is most of them were already living there when suddenly they were "given" a partition, which is more or less designed to keep the worst ratio of Hindus and Muslims on either side, so there will always be oppression of a minority leading to insurrection. Same idea as no Kurdistan or Sikhistan.

    In terms of a powder keg it makes Ukraine look like tiddlywinks.

    I would not be the least surprised if American hegemony slips towards Pak and Bangladesh.

    It's always a question of who is willing to "sell out" (ruin or destroy) their own territory for personal gain.

    I, at least, would prefer to see a de-tensioned Pakistan as it sits right between three powers (China, Iran, India). I have no idea what that takes.

    They publicly stated they have enough radioactive material to do it.

    If they want to, the fissile trigger and weaponizing mechanism is a small matter that can be achieved in a short time, and, if that's what they want to do, they will do it.

    If not, they won't.


    In terms of the strategy of the Iranian nation -- to remove Zionism -- it's unnecessary. So, I don't have a lot of questions. If that was what he was going to do, he already could have. Something that might happen does not constitute a trespass or sin. That makes it a non-issue compared to actual violations that have happened. Death doesn't care. Would I necromantically summon a victim from Gaza, and say, aren't you glad that wasn't a nuclear weapon?

    I guess my reaction isn't one -- having seen the whole thing as smoke and mirrors for political pressure all along, viz., Mr. Grossi in an apparent conflict of interest.
