🎥 WATCH: Five years ago on this day, the heroic “Flag Ambush” operation on the border of the Gaza Strip took place. Resisting Palestinians placed a flag on the separation fence between Gaza and the occupied territories, knowing that zionist thugs could not resist taking it down. The flagpole was rigged with explosives, and six occupation soldiers were seriously wounded.

We remember this day as the day that our flag itself resisted, our flag that embodies resistance, steadfastness, and a refusal to submit. Glory to the resistance!

Hezbollah dispatched a second aid convoy to Syria, reportedly slightly larger than the first one, making the total amount of aid delivered over 1000 tons.

🚨Israeli aggression on Damascus.
Reportedly, Syrian AD had to deal with several waves of attacks from the direction of the occupied Golan Heights.

⋯ One of the interceptions over Damascus.
Reportedly, Syrian AD missiles are following Israeli jets toward Galilee and the occupied Golan.

⋯ Syrian sources report an alleged death toll of at least 5, up to possibly a dozen, and 7 wounded in the Israeli strike on Damascus.

An assassination attempt might have been carried out.

⋯ According to Syrian military sources, the Israeli aggression resulted in 5 martyrs so far, including a soldier, and 15 injured civilians, some in critical condition.

A number of civilian homes were either destroyed or damaged, in several neighborhoods in and around Damascus.

IAEA found uranium enriched to 84% in Iranian centrifuge cascade

Inspectors from the UN atomic agency (IAEA) in Iran last week detected uranium enriched to 84% purity, Bloomberg writes, just 6% below the level reportedly needed for a nuclear weapon.

The IAEA needs to determine if it was an unintended accumulation within the pipes of the centrifuge cascades—something that has happened before. The agency is preparing its quarterly report ahead of a Board of Governors meeting on 6 ⁠March.

Munich Security conference is a principal event for Russia. Since 1963 the primary goal of this conference was to coordinate western efforts against the USSR, and after convergence period in 1991-2007 the main agenda is back on track.

The summary of all speeches about Ukraine looks like that:
1. No negotiations until major Russian defeat. The scale of the defeat is debatable, for now the borders before 24.02.2022 are a bare minimum for entering the talks. Anyone who expected peace initiatives from the West (yeah, there were such experts) waited in vain.
2. Eventually Ukraine will get all types of lethal means, including planes and missiles. Certain lack of ammunition will be compensated in March. The Ukrainian army switches to NATO equipment, this makes delieveries easier.
3. Everybody believes that Russia is losing the war in Ukraine, and the Kremlin won't respond to Western supplies by serious escalation.

What can I say about all of this. In March 2022 it became clear for everyone that Russia can't change regime in Ukraine. After that the major NATO countries started sending some weapons to Kiev. Russia didn't respond properly for two reasons: lack of resources and weak political will. The absent reaction paved the way for what we see now: endless supplies of weapons, humuliating visits of western politicians to Kiev, like Biden's visit today, new packages of sanctions against Russia etc.

The only thing which can change this is a real victory on the battlefield, a thing many consider almost impossible under present circumstances.

⚛ The representative of the Iranian atomic agency, Behrouz Kamalvandi, declared this morning:

“The published news stories are bogus and a distortion of facts. The existence of highly enriched particles is a natural occurrence in every enrichment process. For example, in the process of enriching uranium to 20%, [the presence of uranium particles with enrichment levels up to] 47% is observed, and in the process of obtaining uranium at 60%, uranium with higher enrichment is also observed.”

“Iran has never embarked on enrichment at a level above 60%. (...) Publicizing these issues through [Western] media once again shows that, unfortunately, the IAEA has lost its professional and impartial standing since a long time ago.”
