—❗️🇺🇸/🇮🇱/🇮🇷 BREAKING: The U.S. is striking bunkers and defensive installations on Kharg Island; Israel has started bombing railways across Iran

@Middle_East_Spectator

I wonder if Israel will put boots on the ground inside of Iran or in an effort to reopen the strait of Hormuz?

Or is that just a job for the good goys of the U.S military?

—❗️🇺🇸/🇮🇷 President Trump on Truth Social says he will wipe out Iranian civilization:

‘A whole civilization will die tonight, never to be brought back again. I don’t want that to happen, but it probably will.

However, now that we have complete and total regime change, where different, smarter and less radicalized minds will prevail, maybe something revolutionarily wonderful can happen, WHO KNOWS?

We will find out tonight, one of the most important moments in the long and complex history of the world. 47 years of distortion, corruption, and death will finally end. God bless the great People of Iran!’

BIG: Iran told mediators it still has a huge arsenal of weapons (≈15k missiles, 45k drones) and believes it’s winning, so it’s not backing down.

Mediators think those numbers are likely exaggerated, but Iran is staying hardline as U.S. and Israeli strikes continue.

🚨🇬🇧🇮🇶🇺🇸🇮🇷BIG: The UK has withdrawn its forces from Iraq over fears they could be targeted by Iranian missiles.

HMS Dragon, a UK air-defence destroyer deployed near Cyprus, has docked in the Mediterranean "due to a minor water system issue."

This is the same warship that was allegedly struck by a Hezbollah missile by the way two or three days ago. Now coincidentally its had to turn away from operations for regular repairs/maintenance….

🚨🇮🇷🇺🇸🇮🇱BIG: Heavy U.S/Israeli airstrikes are being conducted against southern and western Iran.

U.S.-Israeli airstrikes reported on Iran's Arak aluminum plant and the Fajr Petrochemical Complex in Mahshahr.

A regional source says “some good news” may come soon, with a deal possibly closing tonight, driven directly by Pakistan’s Army Chief, Field Marshal Asim Munir.

India could do some next level trolling by launching operation Sindoor 2.0 again as extension talks for trumps deadline in Iran are ongoing via Pakistan.
