🇮🇷⚔️🇺🇸🇯🇴 During the July 12th missile attacks on Jordan, satellite imagery shows extensive damage to a drone hangar at the Prince Hassan airbase.

Prince Hassan airbase is the new home of a USAF MQ-4C Triton surveillance drone which has carried out hundreds of flights surveying the Iranian coast throughout the 3rd Gulf War and subsequent spats of violence between Iran and the U.S.

The MQ-4C with the callsign, OVRLD01, used to be based in the Al Dhafra airbase, UAE, before the 3rd Gulf War broke out but was moved out to prevent its destruction. Iran destroyed the hangar which housed it during the conflict.

Observers noticed that the MQ-4C survived the Iranian missile attack and changed its callsign but that its hangar was destroyed yet again and is now rebasing to the Naval Air Station (NAS) Sigonella in Sicily.

Its possible Iran may have destroyed and/or damaged several Jordanian and/or American fighter jets in the July 12th attack as smoke was visible on satellite imagery coming out of the hangar, meaning that whatever was inside is now gone.

🇮🇷🇮🇷⚔️🇺🇸🇶🇦🇧🇭🇰🇼 Iran's IRGC-linked Fars News Agency released high resolution satellite imagery of the destruction caused by Iranian missiles in recent attacks.

The first picture shows damage to a warehouse at the Al Udeid airbase in Qatar, contradicting the statements of the Qatari MoD which claimed a full interception rate.

The 2nd picture shows damage to a drone control & command center at the Juffair airbase and lastly, the 3rd picture shows the destruction of several antennas and a command & control center at the Ali al-Salem airbase in Kuwait.

🇪🇺❌🗣 The EU ordered YouTube to take down a video from a Finnish podcast which criticised the Chat Control initiative.

Puheenaihe podcast is a Finnish current affairs program with 60k subscribers. In this episode, Peter Sund, CEO of the Finnish Information Security Cluster (Kyberala ry) offered pointed criticism of the EU's new Chat Control directive, which was enacted under questionable circumstances.

Because the media is in Finnish, it is highly likely the censorship request came from a Finnish government official or a related party.

This makes it troublesome.

Because the Finnish constitution §12 guarantees freedom of expression.

Preventing political publications is a criminal offence: Abuse of Official Position, punishable by a fine or imprisonment for up to two years.

The particular episode remains available in the EU on Apple Music and Spotify.

Note that this is not automated YouTube copyright take down system or other automated system, because then the video would be blocked globally.

Because it is blocked only inside the EU the request to take down must have come from EU truth flaggers that speak Finnish.

The video does not contain hate speech or any questionable material.

In Finland political speech is protected, even more than regular speech. Discussing about the EU legislation is very political.

There is literally no reason to take it down except for 1) you are a butthurt politician who voted for chat control 2) you are an overzealous EU Digital Services Act truth flagger.

In both cases it is a crime in Finland, and a punishable offense, because you use authority and power to suppress legal political speech.
