➡️What Happened over the Weekend. Part 2.

One final point—and this is a bit of a tinfoil-hat moment, as usual: who, or rather what, shot down the F-15E? One detail that went largely unnoticed on Saturday evening was a report from Iranian sources that fighter jets had taken off. We didn’t pay much attention at the time, but in hindsight it may be significant. Maybe earlier reports were missed, or simply not made. But if Iran had intelligence that the Americans were planning something, it would make sense to risk deploying the Su-35s they “don’t have,” using long-range radar and data-linked missiles to target an F-15E carrying a colonel as mission commander. - This, of course is pure speculation ☝️

One thing is certain: whether the CSAR mission prematurely triggered a larger Special Operations effort to retrieve uranium stockpiles, or whether this was all part of a single planned operation, it failed. The Iranians have now learned a great deal about how the U.S. plans to infiltrate—and the U.S. has likely lost access to an airstrip it intended to use for a high-profile raid.

The U.S. narrative, of course, is one of “we leave no man behind”—and it reads like the outline of a Hollywood blockbuster.

🇺🇸🇮🇱 Shiraz, in southern Iran, was hit during a coordinated wave of U.S.–Israeli airstrikes across multiple cities.

Targets in the city included a power facility—triggering outages across parts of Fars Province—and an industrial/electronics site linked to SA-Iran. The strikes left sections of the city without electricity, directly impacting civilians.

Shiraz was not an isolated case. Similar strikes were reported in Tehran, Isfahan, Ahvaz, and Bandar Abbas, pointing to a broad, pre-planned campaign.

🇮🇶 Civilians in northern Iraq have reportedly found the remains of a U.S.-made PAC-3 interceptor missile, likely fired from a Patriot air defense system and falling back into populated areas.

Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Esmail Baghaei:

"America does not belong to this region. Over these 37 days, everyone has seen that America's only concern is the preservation of the Zionist regime."

Under UN Resolution 3314, Iran considers the actions of Gulf states that allowed US and Israeli forces to use their facilities to attack Iran a legal act of aggression. Despite this, Iran has not declared them enemies, and says regional security can only come through cooperation among regional countries, not America.

🇮🇷 Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Esmail Baghaei:

"Negotiation is in no way compatible with ultimatums, with threats to commit war crimes. Iran has a very bitter experience of negotiating with America — we did not come by these experiences easily, to simply ignore them."
