🇺🇸❌🇮🇷 — BREAKING: President Trump is open to supporting armed groups in Iran willing to take up arms against the government, including Kurdish factions, according to WSJ. ➡️ No final decision has been made yet on weapons or intelligence support.

🇺🇸🇮🇱💥🇮🇷 The Epstein Coalition has attacked a building belonging to Iran’s Assembly of Experts, the body tasked with selecting the successor to Ayatollah Khamenei. Iran’s state broadcaster IRIB reported that the premises had been evacuated beforehand and no casualties occurred. Initial reports claimed that 88 members of the council were targeted while voting, though not all members were present, and the strike reportedly occurred during the vote count.

🇮🇷🇺🇸 IRGC Public Relations: "The missile arm of the Islamic Republic of Iran has been opened to successfully hit targets" "The second American THAAD anti-missile defense system in the West Asia region was hit by precision-guided missiles of the IRGC Aerospace Force and was taken out of operational service." "Yesterday, the THAAD radar stationed at the Al Ruwais base in the UAE had also been destroyed. With the destruction of these two systems, the missile arm of the Islamic Republic of Iran has been opened to successfully hit targets."

Russia Positions Itself as 'Unique Guarantor' of Peace Amid Iran Crisis, Analyst Says Amid the wave of US-Israeli attacks on Iran, Moscow is the only actor capable of assuming an effective mediation role in the conflict, international analyst Tadeo Casteglione told Sputnik. 🏳️ This stems from Russia having carefully built strong relations with all involved parties—Tehran, Tel Aviv, Riyadh, and Abu Dhabi. The request for mediation came from the Arab nations themselves, he noted. "We see Russia, which, according to international mainstream media, is portrayed as a warlike, militaristic country allegedly indifferent to peace and so on. But if we turn to the facts—who exactly is asking for intervention, and whom? Notably, all regional actors in West Asia [...] are asking Russia to become a guarantor of peace and an immediate ceasefire," he argued.

Repeated playbook over and over again Rumsfeld on Iraq (2003): "Five days or five weeks or five months, but it certainly isn't gonna last any longer." Hegseth on Iran (2026): "Four weeks, two weeks, six weeks. It could move up, it could move back."

🇮🇱🇺🇸🇸🇦⚔️🇮🇷 Is Saudi Arabia Preparing to Attack Iran? HIMARS Deployed to Bahrain Today, a senior Israeli official told Israel’s Kan News: “We believe Saudi Arabia will soon strike Iran after being hit yesterday.” Tasnim, citing a senior Iranian official, reported that the attack on Aramco was an Israeli false flag. The claim was reinforced by statements from Tucker Carlson, who said Israelis were preparing false flag attacks in the Gulf. Yesterday, a video surfaced showing HIMARS launchers in ATACMS configuration being deployed to Bahrain as part of the GCC’s Peninsula Shield Force, now known as the Unified Military Command of the Gulf Cooperation Council. Given Israeli media reports that Saudi Arabia quietly urged the Epstein Coalition to strike Iran, it appears that all the pieces may be falling into place for Saudi involvement in an attack on Iran. This could have major consequences. Since Iran lacks effective counter-battery capabilities, it would likely respond with missiles and drones targeting the kingdom, further escalating the conflict.

"I have studied every air campaign since WWI... I've modelled the bombing of Fordow and regime change in Iran for 20 years... We are now in the grip of the escalation trap... This has never worked in over 100 years... Trump is up against the weight of history" - • Professor Pape
