— There is evidently a very limited suppression of Iranian missile bases currently. Iran is launching very freely, comfortably, and at a leisurely pace.

Why? Most importantly because Israel is not involved. Iran is huge, it’s impossible for the U.S. to suppress western and southern Iran simultaneously 24/7. Previously, Israel took care of the western areas in Iran.

Secondly, Iran is launching so many missiles and drones at U.S. bases that they themselves are being suppressed.

Muwaffaq Salti, Al-Udeid, Ali Al-Salem, these types of primary forward bases have been rendered pretty much useless at this stage of the war. The U.S. is now extremely reliant on its carrier fleet in the Arabian Sea.

Lastly, in many cases, U.S. aviation is being forced to carry out secondary duties like defending UAE / Bahraini / Saudi airspace from drone attacks, due to critically low interceptor stockpiles. This limits their availability for combat missions.

This is also quite telling; the last time Iran’s attacks against Gulf states were this intense, Tehran was under constant bombardment.

There hasn’t been a strike in Tehran for months, and most of western / central / eastern Iran is not being targeted at all.

It’s unclear if Iran targeted a ship or something else happened; Iran has not previously targeted ships this far away from its own waters.

🇮🇷🇺🇸| Commander of the IRGC Navy warns the US:

“The Americans are bringing themselves closer, with every passing moment, to the zero hour for operations against CENTCOM’s naval units in the region’s waters. Just wait…

The movements and equipment of the terrorist American military are under the surveillance of Iran’s naval units.”

— Back in 2022, Zelensky declared that Ukraine would become a ‘big Israel’ in Eastern Europe.

The statement got little attention at the time, but our colleagues at Geopolitics Prime decided to dig into the Israeli-Ukrainian connection.

They uncovered a deep alliance between Mossad, Chabad Lubavitch, and some of Ukraine’s most notorious neo-Nazi units.
