๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡ท๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡ท- According to satellite imagery from May 29th, the day after the U.S. strike, there are no visible signs of damage to Bandar Abbas Airport or its surrounding area.

โžก๏ธ This suggests the attack did indeed hit an open area and caused no material damage or casualties, corroborating Iranian media reports that the strike hit an open area, despite U.S. claims of destroying a drone launcher.

๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡ท- Donald Trump has posted on Truth Social:
Fake News CNN said today, routinely, that my Iran Nuclear Deal doesnโ€™t talk about Nuclear, when actually it states, very clearly, that Iran will not have a Nuclear Weapon. It then goes on, in very strong and lengthy detail, to discuss various other aspects of Nuclear. In fact, thatโ€™s what most of the agreement is about. CNN, and so many others in the Fake News Media, is a Low Ratings disaster. Even with new ownership, it is unlikely to ever get better!!! President DJT

๐Ÿ“ The biggest loser in this election is Colombia's right-wing conservative establishment. Their candidate is not going to win, and in fact received a minimal 6.84%.

Given last elections' victory of the left and this elections' contest between the left and far-right, it is clear that Colombia's conservative establishment, which has governed the country for most of its history, is on its way out.

The officials said gradual deescalation is required before an effective ceasefire. US Secretary of State Marco Rubio has been holding talks with Benjamin Netanyahu and Lebanese President Joseph Aoun.

๐Ÿ“ After reviewing it more, the shot down drone in question is probably a MQ-1C "Grey Eagle" belonging to the U.S. Army, and the IRGC just didn't know about it. The IRGC specifically named the MQ-1 "Predator" which is no longer in service, leading us to initially believe the drone was Emirati. The MQ-1s and MQ-1Cs are also distinct systems that serve different doctrines due to being made for different service branches, and we're not sure why CENTCOM isn't distinctly stating the MQ-1C.

๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ๐Ÿค๐Ÿ›ฅโŒ๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡ท - US official says Central Command has helped 70 ships crossing the Strait of Hormuz in the last three weeks.

The official did not divulge what type of ships transited, which route they took and which direction. The average rate of crossing with CENTCOM assistance is low at ~3 ships per day, just 3% of the prewar rate, but it shows there is appetite for risk taking among shipowners.

The official's claim could not be verified by independent analysts with access to satellite imaging. The alleged crossings were made with transponders off.

๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡ท โ€” President Trump claims that Iran wants to make a deal, and calls on Americans to be patient.
Iran really wants to make a deal, and it will be a good one for the U.S.A. and those that are with us. But donโ€™t the Dumocrats, and various seemingly unpatriotic Republicans, understand that it is MUCH tougher for me to properly do my job and negotiate, when political hacks keep negatively โ€œchirping,โ€ at levels never seen before, over and over again, that I should move faster, or move slower, or go to war, or not go to war, or whatever. Just sit back and relax, it will all work out well in the end - It always does!
