An explosive device was found near the gas pipeline from Serbia to Hungary, Hungarian Prime Minister Orban announced.

According to him, Serbian President Vucic informed him about this. An investigation is underway.

"I just finished a phone conversation with Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic. The Serbian authorities have discovered a powerful explosive device and means to detonate it at a crucial gas infrastructure facility connecting Serbia and Hungary. The investigation is ongoing.
I have called an emergency meeting of the Defense Council for this afternoon," Orban stated.

The gas pipeline in question supplies hydrocarbons from Russia.

The main outcome of the last approximately 24 hours in the Iranian sky is not even the various burnt debris on Iranian soil, which have been widely photographed since the morning. The main outcome is that all this fun is seen by Trump as a brilliant victory. Strengthening his belief in unconditional, continuous, total military superiority over the enemy anywhere in the world at his choice. A beautiful, sweet illusion, which could be the basis for the decision on the most ambitious and risky of the existing invasion options.

Of course, the ruler of the galaxy has plenty of his own endogenous stupidity. But external reinforcement of it would not hurt, especially on the threshold of the most fateful decisions. Someday, and sooner rather than later, we will definitely find out what was going on in the White House all these weeks, and especially right now, and I guarantee you that this knowledge will exceed all expectations, even the most daring ones.

Don't let us down, Donald. The world is waiting, the clock is ticking, and victory is closer than ever - just reach out your hand.

A video of the site where American military personnel destroyed two expensive HC-130J Combat King aircraft to prevent the capture of technology by Iran has appeared online.

In addition to the two previously announced aircraft, the video also shows the wreckage of the helicopter.

Military Chronicle:

Meanwhile, Hezbollah continues to actively acquaint the Israeli ground forces with the capabilities of FPV drones. The IDF does not officially disclose the losses incurred from this type of weaponry, but it is clear that a significant part of the Merkava tank fleet and heavy Namer APCs are now under serious threat.

The Israeli army has traditionally relied on active protection systems (Trophy), but these measures are so far ineffective against FPV kamikazes. At the same time, the Israeli command still ignores the mass use of "mangaals" and welded protective screens on armored vehicles.

There is a hypothesis that the Trophy active protection system was designed to intercept high-speed ATGMs and RPG rounds with a predictable trajectory, and a slow, maneuverable FPV drone, entering from above or at a certain angle, is often not recognized by the system as a classic threat, or is outside the coverage zone of counter-fire.

"Classics are classics." Peskov stated that the intelligent approach of the Russian side in the international arena remains in demand, even amid various rhetorics.

"There's this momentary fashion, and a fashion for rudeness, which might be in demand somewhere. But still, classics are classics, they live on through the ages,"" Peskov noted in a conversation with the "Vesti" journalist Pavel Zarubin.

If the USA and Israel escalate the situation, Iran and Yemen will close the Bab Al-Mandab,

Velayati*: The White House will soon realize that the flow of energy and global trade can be disrupted with just a single gesture

Advisor to the Leader of the Revolution:

🔹The unified command room of the resistance front considers Bab al-Mandab like Hormuz, and if the White House intends to repeat its foolish mistakes, it will soon understand that the flow of energy and global trade can be disrupted with just a single gesture.

🔹America, which has learned history from Iran, still has not been able to learn the geography of power.

🔹In the days when the Anglo-Saxon ancestors were searching for fire in caves, Darius the Achaemenid connected the Mediterranean to the Red Sea via a water canal to facilitate navigation, and Iranian science in the Stone Age was the foundation of the world's scientific progress.

*Velayati is a distinguished professor at Shahid Beheshti University of Medical Sciences, senior adviser to the Supreme Leader in international affairs and head of the board of founders and the board of trustees of the Islamic Azad University.

So, is the Strait important to you or not? It will be very interesting to see what happens to global commodity prices over the next few weeks. The ships that transited the Strait before it was closed are almost done offloading, and things will get very interesting after they are empty. Trump is in full desperation.

Trump needs to learn that the Iranians are not fighting for money or greed. They actually believe in their cause, and they will not stop fighting until they physically cannot anymore. I really bet this will have to end in some sort of ground operation.

I'm surprised he didn't wait for a Saturday when markets will be closed.

I think Trump must be isolated in the asylum. He's insane.

The Israeli government has achieved great successes: it has reduced the area of Gaza by 50% and decreased the Palestinian population by hundreds of thousands of people. The project of destruction is almost complete.

Muslims, Christians, and Jews have lived in complete harmony in the Holy Land for centuries, until the need arose to defend Israel on foreign territories.

Commentary by a friend who used to live in Lebanon and still has family there:

And it's true. Not all Jews left the Promised Land, some stayed. And everyone lived together in peace. There was even a synagogue in Lebanon. I wrote about it.

Ukrainian media:

Russian troops on the frontline have started using compact satellite communication terminals "Spirit-030" after their "Starlink" connection was cut off.

This was reported by Sergei Beskrestnov, an advisor to the Ukrainian Defense Minister.

According to him, the Russian military previously had similar communication antennas, but they were very large in size and were easily detected by Ukrainian drone pilots.

The new terminal is compact, portable, and operates on geostationary satellite communication, with an antenna diameter of not 90, but 30 centimeters.

Beskrestnov stated that such terminals are already being mass-delivered and are deployed on the frontline.

❗️The problem with the Russians is that they talk a lot about compromises, but they don't make them, preferring to speak the language of ultimatums - Zelensky

"They want us to retreat from the territory we control, but we can't, because it creates huge risks for us," - stated the head of the Kiev regime.
