Trump administration will meet top U.S. defense contractors (Lockheed Martin, RTX/Raytheon, others) at the White House to speed up weapons production as U.S. stockpiles have been strained by conflicts including Iran, Ukraine, and Gaza. The Pentagon is preparing a ~$50 billion supplemental budget to replenish stockpiles and increase output of key weapons like Tomahawk cruise missiles (target production up to 1,000 per year). Officials are also pressuring contractors to prioritize production over shareholder payouts, with underperforming companies potentially facing penalties or contract termination. Source: Reuters

100,000 IRANIAN TROOPS READY FOR GROUND INVASION IRGC Ground Forces have moved into Marivan Kurdistan Province, Iran, and have told residents to evacuate.

Some more tactical details on what the US is trying to achieve since things aren't exactly going as planned. My personal report: The CIA is working to arm Kurdish forces in an attempt to incite a popular uprising in Iran - CNN Kurdish forces are expected to participate in a ground operation in Western Iran in the coming days, expecting U.S. and Israeli support. So with this we can see the original and ONLY plan for Iran that can succeed is a popular uprising where segments of the different regions fight internally on ground. Without a ground invasion and complete turmoil there's no chance the US or Israel can win this war. I predict this is their line of thinking in the beginning, that with economic hardship and using an illusion of a brutal dictatorship willing to kill protestors they would convince a large portion of the population outside of Tehran and Qom to attempt to arm themselves with US weapons. Then what was supposed to happen was what we are seeing now, a preemptive strike by Israel and US framing it exactly as is now a war to change a brutal dictatorship. During this fighting the CIA would arm Iraqi Kurd members along side US special forces to eliminate key installations under the cover of the chaos. Totally deniability of involvement and lastly the finishing blow would be the gulf states along side Azerbaijan would use their special forces to create calm and kill the remaining loyalists to the IRGC. A brilliant plan that has been completely blunted by careful geopolitical chessboard like anticipations by Iranian leadership. So much so the whole plan is breaking apart in real time, a symphony of carefully funded and planned circumstances is suddenly out of sync with one another. Based on the fact the Iranian people and population themselves are aware that National unity is the greatest strength Iran has, they are more aware than not that any attempt to break that Unity will be the immediate enslavement of the Iranian people.
