💢 SECOND PHARMA PLANT HIT: Israeli-U.S. Strikes Target Major Medicine Supplier in Western Tehran

A second major pharmaceutical facility in western Tehran was struck Tuesday in the latest wave of Israeli-U.S. airstrikes, according to AFP and Al Arabiya reports.

🔹The Daro Bakhsh Pharmaceutical Factory, one of Iran’s oldest and most critical medical production hubs, sustained damage after residents reported “loud explosions” in the area. Full damage assessments are ongoing.
The facility produces a significant share of Iran’s domestic medicine supply, including antibiotics, cardiovascular drugs, and intravenous fluids essential for hospital operations.

🔹The strike follows Monday’s attack on Tofigh Daru Research & Engineering Company, which the New York Times and Al Jazeera reported left that facility’s raw material production units and R&D departments “completely destroyed.” Tofigh Daru is one of Iran’s largest producers of active pharmaceutical ingredients for cancer treatments, anesthetics, and narcotics.

Two of Iran’s most critical pharmaceutical sites have now been hit within 24 hours.

Russian Chechen combat units...

Unsurprising. They are one of the most voluntary volunteers ever known.

It was said the same offer came from Pak tribes a few days ago. The Kashmiris wished they could offer themselves.

This however may be what Iran needs least help with. Not the personnel. Something that will stop an A-10 Warthog. Other countries have Russian systems that would give it a runaround. Iran seems to be a minimalist at it.

The tone in the letter was pretty straightforward. The difference of opinion I have with Iranians is that I do have something against the American people, such as the 30% said to support this. There's a sick mentality that's easily missed until proven to you. That's not Iran's business and I don't mind if they overlook something that is essentially true since the point is they have no ill will or motive for attacking the country. Iran's business is breaking the Military Industrial Complex, at which point I can clean up my own backyard.

When you run around going "just take it", you have ceased being taken seriously by anyone in the world, especially when you are trying to provoke the act by calling them "cowards". It's mental scum. Just keeps getting thicker.


This is all measured. We don't see an immediate strike on a university because that is a low priority. The effect is better if it's just a known threat. Something else was damaged today, although I am never sure what a "site" is, or the meaning of a complete information block.

Another breach:

The Handala hacker group has announced that it carried out a cyber attack against a company chiefly involved in the operation of command and control systems of Israel's air defense network, cautioning that no Israeli military site in the occupied territories would remain secure.

The pro-resistance group said in a statement on Thursday that it successfully breached the servers of PSK WIND Technologies, and deleted all sensitive information.

PSK WIND Technologies reportedly serves as the backbone of the Israeli military infrastructure's command and control centers, and facilitates a smooth flow of communication among them.

Following the cyber attack, all top-secret information about the Israeli regime's critical command and control centers, their communication systems as well as classified documents were exposed, and are now accessible to resistance movements operating across West Asia.

"What you (Israel) are celebrating as Passover will soon turn into an unforgettable day. None of your command and defense systems will be safe anymore, and powerful strikes of the resistance front are imminent," a message published by Handala online read.

The message added that the attack marks the onset of the collapse of Israel's false sense of security, stressing that no system, regardless of its sophistication and compliance with military standards, will not be immune to the cyber capabilities of resistance forces.

Legal suggestion at the UN to use the American's speech as evidence for trial:

Nasri wrote that "their own words remove any defense of ignorance or lawful necessity," adding that the declarations "will one day be Exhibit A in any future international or national criminal proceeding."

The four simple points are correct. By all standards, that and the Sec-War are to be held personally responsible. It's normal.

His threat is not taken seriously for multiple reasons, instead the reprisals are only going to get worse.

🇺🇸🇮🇱💥🇮🇷 Epstein Coalition forces attacked Iran’s Pasteur Institute, the country’s oldest public health research center, founded in 1920 in cooperation with the Pasteur Institute of Paris and the Iranian government.

Iranian officials condemn the strike as a violation of international law and an attack on core scientific and humanitarian values.

It is noted that the bridge, which was opened earlier this year, is considered the highest in the Middle East.

It is also reported that there were casualties as a result of the attack.

Muslim nations 'strongly condemn' Israel’s death penalty law
——
8 Muslim-majority nations "strongly condemned" Israel’s decision to enact a law that sets death by hanging as the standard punishment for Palestinians, according to a joint statement issued by Pakistan on Thursday.

Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas has denounced the legislation as a violation of international law and a futile attempt to intimidate Palestinians.

Pakistan, Turkiye, Egypt, Indonesia, Jordan, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, and the UAE stated that the law represents a "dangerous escalation" and highlighted the "urgent need to refrain from measures" that could worsen tensions on the ground, Pakistan’s foreign ministry reported.

"They stressed the importance of ensuring accountability and called for strengthened international efforts to uphold stability and prevent further deterioration," it added.

Trump and Israel are bombing civilian bridges in Iran.

Not military targets.

Bridges that let people escape.
Roads that let ambulances reach the wounded.
Food, medicine, water: all blocked.

We saw it in Gaza, then Lebanon, and now Iran.

This is systematic assault on civilians

Trump’s threat to send Iran back to the 'Stone Age' was, in truth, an insult to history itself! Unintentionally, he granted us prestige by acknowledging our roots in that era while delegitimizing his own country’s relatively brief history.
Someone should tell him: if you send us back to the Stone Age, you’ll have to come back and learn from us all over again—how to cultivate the land, domesticate wheat and barley, build granaries, master early genetic engineering with goats and sheep, and establish the world’s first social structures. We’ve already managed this path for the sake of all humanity once before!
Only a fool remains ignorant of the fact that the Zagros Mountains in Iran are the 'Silicon Valley' of the Neolithic Period. Every foundational technology that rescued mankind from nomadism and led to civilization is rooted in these very mountains.

🇺🇸 According to a Bloomberg report, Donald Trump is preparing a FY2027 budget focused on a major military buildup, funded partly through cuts to domestic programs and health-care entitlements.

The plan would prioritize defense spending amid the Iran war and rising gas prices, while facing expected pushback in Congress and within his own party over proposed cuts to health and science agencies.

Trump has floated raising defense spending to around $1.5 trillion, though details on scope and duration remain unclear. Bloomberg also reports the Pentagon has requested $200 billion in emergency funding tied to the Iran conflict, currently under White House review.

I enjoyed the video; he appeared to be an island of sanity in a sea of madness. He seems to have a very real grasp on how horrific the Iranian regime has been. The Iranian people deserve better, the Middle East deserves better, and the world deserves better. The fact that he has been to Iran, as I have to understand what is happening on the ground makes his take on the conflict more valuable than almost all the talking heads out there.

Today includes going after fighter planes in Jordan:

The base is known for its advanced infrastructure and substantial personnel presence, making it one of the most strategically important military sites for the US in West Asia.

“In the early hours of Thursday, the courageous soldiers of the Islamic Republic of Iran’s Army targeted advanced fighter jets of the terrorist army of the United States stationed at al-Azraq base in Jordan with drone attacks,” the statement read.

Along with several in Israel: Tel Nof, Palmachim, and Ben Gurion.

Aluminum and steel facilities also attacked. Hiding places of Marines.



Concerning volunteers, Iran has seven million civilians ready to enlist if so asked. The number of foot soldiers is not really an issue. Perhaps material assistance; but there hasn't been any cringing yet. Not like you hear from the countries whose gas went out-of-hand.



While the American speech has been trounced even by the BBC (let alone Congress) as a pack of lies and garbage, the realisticreply is:

The spokesman for Iran’s Khatam al-Anbiya Headquarters said that US and Israeli assessments of Tehran’s military capabilities are inaccurate and incomplete, stressing that the country’s strategic power is far greater than its “enemies” believe.

He explained that recent strikes on some Iranian sites hit only “limited areas,” emphasizing that strategic missile production facilities, drones, air defense systems, and electronic warfare capabilities “are located in inaccessible locations.”

The spokesman added that the notion of destroying these capabilities is an illusion that will lead to further entanglement, and urged against trying to enumerate Iran’s military assets, as they are “larger and more complex than can be estimated.”

He also affirmed that aggression will not go unpunished, stating that Iran’s response is ongoing and that future operations will be more intense, broader, and more destructive within the framework of the continuing confrontation.

Whatever you throw over there will be removed, not necessarily on day one, but sooner or later.

Daniel Davis Deep Dive

I thought Paula White’s comments were off the rails, but it turns out Pastor Franklin Graham is even worse: he is a fraud posing as a Christian minister, while literally standing for the opposite of what the prince of peace, Jesus Christ, stood for and taught.

To compare the biblical story of Esther to current events, is a gross bastardization of scripture, and not related to current events in Iran. Contrary to this despicable prayer, it was the United States and Israel that launched a war of aggression, unprovoked, creating the fiction of an imminent threat, which evidence clearly confirms did not exist, and is now killing Iranian people, in increasingly larger numbers.

To then seek the support of the Almighty to continue this ungodly and unholy operation, is a shame and humiliation for genuine Christians in this country, that stand firmly for the truth of the gospel, and the hope for justice and peace in the world.

Franklin Graham celebrates unjust war, violence, and death. God will not answer his prayers as he imagines…
