IDF:

We expect weeks more of fighting against Iran and Hezbollah.

📸 Iranians are placing stickers of Pedro Sánchez on missiles, featuring his quote criticizing the war against Iran and thanking him.

The U.S. and Israel expected that their attacks would spark a mass uprising in Iran and quickly bring down the government, but that hasn’t happened.

Intelligence officials had already doubted this strategy, and other ideas like using Kurdish forces were also dropped.

For now, the most likely outcome is that the current regime stays in power.

UAE’s Foreign Minister Abdullah bin Zayed calls Iran “terrorists”.

He also lashes out at former French Ambassador to Washington, Gérard Araud, for criticizing the UAE’s growing dependence on the United States for its security.

UAE President MbZ's Advisor Anwar Gargash:

As we confront the brutal Iranian aggression and discover our steadfast strength in resilience and endurance, our thinking does not stop at a ceasefire, but rather turns toward solutions that ensure lasting security in the Arabian Gulf, curbing the nuclear threat, missiles, drones, and the bullying of the straits.

It is inconceivable that this aggression should turn into a permanent state of threat.

IRGC Spokesman Ebrahim Zolfaghari mocks Trump in English:

Hey Trump, you are fired! You are familiar with this sentence.

Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Joe Kent warned against escalating further—especially plans involving Kharg Island, Iran’s key oil hub.

He argued that sending U.S. troops there would be a major mistake:

“It would essentially be giving Iran a bunch of hostages on an island that they could barrage with drones and missiles.”

French judge Nicolas Guillou who issued an ICC warrant against Netanyahu says U.S.-linked sanctions basically cut him off from daily life:

Almost all means of payment… are American. Your card no longer works… only Visa or Mastercard.

I can no longer order on Amazon… book an Airbnb… my transaction is cancelled. It’s like a time machine… returning to a pre-digital world.

Kafkaesque situation… same blacklist as terrorists and drug traffickers.

If judges are afraid to judge… then there is no more democracy. We will act exclusively out of fear.

U.S. troops in the Iran conflict are increasingly uneasy, citing stress, safety concerns, and unclear goals.

Some describe a lack of planning, with one official warning a ground operation would be “an absolute disaster.”

Many troops are questioning the purpose of the war, with some saying, “We do not want to die for Israel — we don’t want to be political pawns.”

British rapper Lowkey presses Piers Morgan to condemn Rupert Murdoch over Netanyahu funding.

Piers refuses and pushes back:

Lowkey: It seems he funded Benjamin Netanyahu. That’s an issue.

Morgan: It’s not an issue for me. You hate Israel so much…

Lowkey: My loyalty is to people under the bombs.

I do not view myself as loyal to somebody that would end up on a list of potential funders of Benjamin Netanyahu.

Flights are continuing in the UAE despite escalating safety risks.

Dozens of planes (39 in Dubai alone) landed or took off within minutes of missile warnings. Across UAE airports, that number rises to ~130 within a 10-minute window.

Not all attacks are officially flagged, meaning planes may be exposed without clear alerts.

At least five planes have already been damaged on the ground, including an Emirates A380 and a Saudia A321 in Dubai.

Pilots are increasingly raising serious concerns, with some flights nearly diverted due to low fuel, and others refusing to operate altogether or invoking “fear clauses” to avoid flying.
