❗️Iran will not give up a single inch of its territory, said the country's President, Pazheshkian.

Earlier, Trump said that the map of Iran could change after a conflict.

I'm inclined to think that the US would he the country that will change after the conflict. And I don't think Trump will like these changes.

АДЕКВАТ Z on Iran. Latest:

Agent Donald is doing his utmost to burn all bridges behind him, eliminating the possibility of retreating with an uncertain outcome, even in theory. The claim that he killed 150 girls in an Iranian primary school himself is, if anything, even more unforgivable than the actual murder itself. Iranian propaganda has eagerly seized on this and is exploiting it to the fullest: it would be impossible to offend Iranians more, and every ounce of this offense will be squeezed out. This includes the nature of the response to any possible future probing by the aggressor, for example, a ceasefire.

Meanwhile, the pedophile coalition is methodically expanding its targets, striking Iranian desalination plants, oil storage facilities, and oil refineries. The mirror response of desalination in Bahrain and oil refineries in Haifa was not long in coming, and the transition from isolated retaliatory strikes of this kind to the systematic disruption of Israel's infrastructure seems only a matter of time, and not a very long one at that. A week of war has shown that the effectiveness of Israel's air defense is not just subpar, but is getting worse over time. Therefore, they will soon fully realize that throwing stones from a glass house was a very bad idea. When a sudden and irreversible deterioration in a certain aspect of quality of life in a military situation affects the entire or a significant part of the population.

I think it's the best explanation of what the 8th of March means for majority of those who live on post-Soviet space:

Via Norgerussisk:

🈁Dear women! Happy International Women's Day!

Initially, this holiday was born as a day of women's struggle for their rights and equal opportunities. But in Russia, it has gradually turned into a special, truly warm day — when men express admiration, care, and gratitude to all women.

March 8 has become a symbol of spring, renewal, and light. This is a time when nature awakens, and with it, hopes, feelings, and dreams come to life.

May attention, kind words, and tenderness surround you not only on this day, but every day of the year — because it is you who make the world warmer, brighter, and more humane.

Happy holiday, dear women! May spring always live in your hearts. 🌷

Yes, we don't usually celebrate St.Valentine's day (actually, for many of us it's the day of liberation of Rostov-on-Don from Nazi invaders). Mother's and Father's days are far from being popular in Russia - it's something made of plastic.

Our holidays are 23rd of February - the Day of Defender of Fatherland and the 8th of March. And in our culture it has very little almost nothing to do with feminism or etc. This old soviet greeting card is the best explanation of what this holiday is to us.

Iran prepared for exactly this situation. Obviously, they understood that the combined attacks of Israel and the USA would be devestating to certain assets, so they knew they would have to prepare for a long siege and fight an asymmetric war.

Yesterday, American-Israeli forces attacked a desalination plant on the Iranian island of Qeshm.

According to public data, Qatar obtains 100% of its drinking water through desalination, Kuwait and Bahrain each get 90%, Oman 86%, and Saudi Arabia 70%. In Iran, 30% of the water comes from desalination plants.
➖➖➖
Should desalination plants become viable targets, Iran is far from the most vulnerable.

I'll remind you that the West and their proxies have a habit of using water as a weapon. The Kiev regime dammed the Crimean canal to cut off water to Russian Crimea. After the SMO, one of the first actions of the RF was to destroy the dam and to return water to the people.

The UAE allegedly launched the first strike against Iran, attacking a desalination plant. This claim was made by the Israeli portal Ynet, without naming its sources.
➖➖➖
The UAE is 42% dependent on desalination itself. Of course, Ynet is Israeli, so they may be trying to pass the blame and to sow division.

Notably, Israel itself if 80% dependent on desalination plants for its potable water.

Military Chronicle:

American officials continue to be visibly upset over claims that Russia is allegedly assisting Iran with intelligence, following which more precise strikes on American targets in the Middle East have begun.

That is, when it comes to supporting Ukraine, Washington considers this a normal and legitimate policy. After the events of 2014, the US and its allies invested hundreds of billions of dollars in the conflict, supplied all possible weapons - from HIMARS systems and ATACMS missiles to Patriot air defense systems, M1A2 Abrams tanks and M2 Bradley combat vehicles. F-16 Fighting Falcon fighters were transferred, training programs were organized, and an infrastructure for coordinating operations was created, including through NATO structures in Europe, and the US headquarters in Wiesbaden is still effectively managing the war from the Ukrainian side.

This was supplemented by large-scale sanctions, disconnecting Russian banks from the SWIFT system, intelligence support, and the actual involvement of Western countries (including all NATO countries and not only them) in managing military logistics and planning operations. All of this is considered in Washington as an acceptable and correct tool of foreign policy.

But as soon as there's a suggestion that Moscow might be providing support to Iran - even at the level of exchanging intelligence - this is immediately declared as unacceptable interference and a threat to regional security.

Washington, it seems, literally "blows a fuse" when faced with a mirror response. It turns out that not only the "chosen ones" have intelligence technologies, satellite data, and modern weapons.

The US has already spent about $6 billion on the war with Iran, but it's still unclear what victory in this war might look like, writes the New York Times.

"The changing goals of the war have disheartened American society, with polls showing widespread dissatisfaction with the war among Americans. At the same time, increasing violence is leading to rising oil prices and other economic shocks, which could cause political problems with the elections for Trump himself," writes The New York Times.

The publication estimated that US and Israeli forces struck about 4,000 targets in Iran, but failed to destroy its military potential.

Citing sources in the US government, NYT states that Iran has preserved about half of its missile arsenal and a significant portion of its drones.

Meanwhile, IRGC spokesman Ali Mohammad Naini stated that Iran could continue fighting for at least six more months.

"The armed forces of the Islamic Republic of Iran are capable of waging an intense war for at least six months at the current pace of combat operations," said Naini.

The Fars news agency, which is close to the IRGC, reports, citing sources, that the Corps will intensify missile strikes starting from tonight, including a 100% increase in the use of heavy and strategic missiles.

$6 billion is an underestimate. We are approaching $8 billion now. Remember, this doesn't include economic effects related to the spike in commodity prices.

I know that everyone's waiting for Iran to do some serious damage, but remember, the USA and Israel are burning through their interceptor stocks. I think we will see a drip of missile and drone strikes with periodic acceptions until the supply of interceptors reaches a critically low level.

Additionally, Israel and the USA are striking Iranian launchers while maintaining heavy reconnaissance over the country, so the Iranian Forces will sporadically pop out of tunnels to launch missiles from random locations in smaller numbers then retreat back underground. This strategy allows them to maintain launcher capacity while waiting for the air defense network of the enemy to be weakened before going in for more massive strikes.

Update:

A representative of the UAE denies the information from Israeli media about the country's strike on a desalination complex in Iran.

"The UAE would not have carried out strikes on civilian targets, but would have targeted a military facility," the representative was quoted as saying by The Jerusalem Post newspaper.
