🇺🇸🇳🇬❌🏴‍☠️- U.S. Africa Command has released footage of the strike that killed the second-in-command of the Islamic State, Abu-Bilal al-Minuki, in Northeastern Nigeria. @GeoPWatch
🇺🇸🇳🇬❌🏴‍☠️ — Given the helicopter-borne special forces ground elements involved, it is likely this airstrike assassinating Abu-Bilal al-Minuki was conducted by a MH-60M DAP "Black Hawk" helicopter. These helicopters are operated exclusively by the U.S. Army 160th Special Operations Aviation Regiment for transporting US military special forces, including DEVGRU.

The Black Hawk's DAP [Direct Action Penetrator] fired its M230 30mm chain gun at the area, then launched one AGM-114 "Hellfire" missile before firing more chain gun rounds.

The footage was captured by a MQ-9A "Reaper" drone conducting ISR.

🇺🇸❌🇮🇷- According to Fars News' sources, the U.S. has outlined five main conditions in its response to Iran's proposals: no payment of compensation or damages by the US, the withdrawal and transfer of 400 kilograms of uranium from Iran to the US, the activation of only one Iranian nuclear facility, no release of even 25% of Iran's frozen assets, and making any cessation of hostilities on all fronts conditional on the continuation of negotiations.

➡️ Iran, on the other hand, has established five prerequisites that must be fulfilled before any talks can start: the recognition of Iran's sovereignty over the Strait of Hormuz, the lifting of all sanctions, the release of Iranian funds that have been frozen, compensation for war damages, and an end to the war on all fronts, especially in Lebanon.

🇮🇱🚫🇮🇷— Reports claim Israel covertly set up a military position deep in western Iraq before the conflict with Iran, allegedly with prior U.S. awareness. According to the claims, the location was intended to support Israeli special operations units and emergency…
🇮🇱🇺🇸❌🇮🇶🇮🇷- A second covert Israeli base has been discovered operating in Iraq's western desert, according to senior Iraqi and regional officials cited by the New York Times, following the Wall Street Journal's earlier reporting of the first.

➡️ At least one of the bases is believed to have been operational for well over a year, with Israeli forces thought to have begun preparations as far back as late 2024, and at least one was used during a 12-day war against Iran in June 2025.

➡️ The second base came to light following the killing of Bedouin shepherd Awad al-Shammari, 29, on March 3rd, after he stumbled upon one of the sites and contacted Iraqi military authorities. Witnesses say a helicopter pursued and fired upon his truck until it came to a halt in the sand.

➡️ The images above are of Mr. Al-Shammari's truck, which was found along with his body by the Popular Mobilization Forces a few days ago.

🇮🇱🇺🇸❌🇮🇶🇮🇷- The United States forced Iraq to shut down its radars during both the short-lived war last year and the current conflict, seemingly to protect U.S. aircraft, which contributed to Israel's ability to operate covertly in Iraq for so long.

➡️ As a result, Iraq was largely dependent on U.S. forces to identify any illegal activity, which served as cover for the Israeli presence. When determining that it could safely conduct covert operations on Iraqi territory, Israel took this U.S. influence over Iraqi security into consideration, according to regional officials.

➡️ Israel is alleged to have used the exposed bases for personnel medical care, refueling, and air support.

🇨🇺❌🇺🇸- According to classified intelligence shared with Axios, Cuba has acquired more than 300 drones and has begun internally discussing plans to potentially use them against the U.S. base at Guantanamo Bay, American naval vessels, and possibly Key West, Florida.

➡️ Since 2023, the variously capable drones have been purchased from Iran and Russia and are kept in key locations throughout the island. Cuban officials have asked Russia for more drones and military hardware in the last month.

➡️ U.S. officials also note the presence of Iranian military advisers in Havana, as well as Russian and Chinese signals intelligence facilities on the island.

➡️ Up to 5,000 Cuban soldiers are estimated to have fought for Russia in Ukraine, with Russia paying approximately $25,000 per soldier deployed. Some of those soldiers are believed to have briefed Cuban military leaders on the effectiveness of drone warfare.
