— 🇺🇸/🇮🇶 BREAKING: Initial reports of American airstrikes in Hilla, on the headquarters of the PMU

— 🇺🇸/🇮🇷/🇮🇶 U.S. Central Command announces airstrikes against the Kataib Hezbollah militia in Iraq:

'In response to multiple attacks against coalition forces in Iraq and Syria, U.S. military forces conducted airstrikes against multiple facilities used by Kataib Hezbollah and affiliated groups in Iraq at 8:45 p.m. (EST) on Dec. 25.

Earlier in the day, Iranian sponsored Kataib Hezbollah terrorists and affiliated groups attacked coalition forces at Erbil, Iraq resulting in several injuries.

Early assessments indicate that these U.S. airstrikes destroyed the targeted facilities and likely killed a number of Kataib Hezbollah militants. There are no indications that any civilian lives were affected. The U.S. military will continue to evaluate the effectiveness of these strikes.'

@Middle_East_Spectator

— 🇮🇱/🇮🇷 Since the IRGC's General Sayyed Razi Mousavi has been martyred in Syria, we've seen the following:

– Large power outages in Israel.

– Sudden car bomb assassination of an alleged IDF intelligence officer in Netanya.

– Bombing at the Israeli embassy in New Delhi in India.

Like I said, Iran mostly carries out its retaliation to such crimes in the shadows.

— 🇮🇷 NEW: Iran has increased its monthly production of 60% enriched uranium from 3kg to 9kg a month

According to the IAEA, the rate at which Iran has been producing near weapons-grade uranium enriched up to 60% at the Natanz and Fordow facilities combined has increased to approximately 9 kg per month in December.

By the IAEA's theoretical definition, around 42 kg of this 60% enriched uranium is the amount at which making a nuclear bomb with it cannot be excluded. - Reuters
