— 🇺🇸/🇦🇪/🇮🇷 What do we know so far?

– Two unidentified enemy drones were shot down above Bandar Abbas.

– Six ‘explosion’ sounds were heard at Bahman port, Qeshm, but it is unclear if this is a separate incident (possibly an Emirati strike) or sounds of the drone interception attempts.

– U.S. Navy vessels attempted to seize or attack an Iranian oil tanker in the Strait of Hormuz.

– In response, the IRGC Navy fired anti-ship missiles at the American warships.

🇮🇷🇺🇸| The US tried to sneak in 3 of its navy destroyers into the Strait of Hormoz but were met with a response from the Iranian Armed Forces, according to an Iranian reporter.

🇮🇷⚡️🇮🇱🇺🇸 2 US destroyers faced 'intense Iranian assault' while 'transiting Strait of Hormuz' — CBS.

USS Truxtun and USS Mason 'swarmed' by Iranian fast-attack boats, drones, and missiles.

—❗️🇺🇸/🇮🇷 Iran’s Khatam Al-Anbiyaa Central Headquarters:

– The United States, in violation of the ceasefire, targeted an Iranian oil tanker moving from the coastal waters of Iran in the Jask region towards the Strait of Hormuz, as well as another vessel entering the Strait of Hormuz, off the coast of Fujairah.

– Simultaneously, they launched airstrikes on civilian areas in cooperation with some regional countries in the coastal areas of Bandar Abbas, Sirik, and Qeshm Island.

– The armed forces of the Islamic Republic of Iran immediately retaliated by attacking U.S. naval vessels in the east of the Strait of Hormuz and south of Chabahar port, inflicting damage upon them.

– Criminal and aggressive America and its supporting countries should know that the Islamic Republic of Iran, as in the past, will powerfully and without the slightest hesitation respond decisively to any aggression.

🇮🇷⚡️🇺🇸🇮🇱 “So, the US breaching the ceasefire by attacking Iran is not breaching the ceasefire. Just like wholesale home demolitions and targeted attacks by Jewish supremacists in Lebanon is ‘defensive’. Jewish supremacists run even the messaging from Washington.”

So much cope about the parade in Moscow, here's something for nafoids to chew on 😁

Cancelled Ukrainian Independence Day parades:

2005–2007

By decree of President Viktor Yuschenko in 2005, the parade was cancelled, only to return in 2008 for the 17th anniversary of the Ukraine.

2010–2014

Under the presidency of Viktor Yanukovich, the parade was not held at all.

2019–2020

On 10 July 2019 Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky announced on Facebook that the 2019 Ukrainian Independence Day celebrations would not include a military parade. Zelensky also stated: "We have decided to allocate ₴300 million (nearly $12 million) as bonus payments to our servicemen, i.e. fixed-term soldiers, cadets, sergeants, officers.” On Independence Day 2020, Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky declared that there should not be military equipment on parade in Kiev, but on the front line of the War in Donbas "Where it is needed now." Zelensky also stated that there will be a military parade in the future "a parade of Ukrainian victory, when we will return all our people and all our territories." The Ukraine lost control of Crimea (due to the 2014 Russian annexation of Crimea) and of territories currently held by the Donetsk People's Republic and Luhansk People's Republic at the start in 2014 of the war in Donbas.

Since 2022

The parade was cancelled a third time under Zelensky due to the ongoing invasion of Ukraine by Russian military, which Independence Day marked six months from the beginning of. The Ukraine's Culture Ministry confirmed there would not be any public celebration to mark the holiday, and officials warned civilians against gathering in major cities due to the high likelihood Russia would target celebrations for shelling, with President Zelensky stating "Russia may try to do something particularly nasty, something particularly cruel." In substitute to a parade, the remains of numerous Russian military vehicles and artilleries destroyed by Ukrainian troops were displayed along Khreshchatyk.
