❗️Iran warns UAE could face sweeping retaliation if US ground invasion begins
Tehran says the United Arab Emirates is actively participating in the US-Israeli war on Iran and could face widespread retaliation if a ground invasion is launched, two senior Iranian sources told Middle East Eye. Officials said Emirati facilities have been used to support operations against Iran, alongside intelligence and targeting support tied to advanced infrastructure inside the UAE.
Iranian officials warned that any assault launched from Emirati territory would trigger an immediate shift in response, with strikes expanding beyond military and intelligence sites to include state-linked and commercial assets. The warning comes as Washington weighs a potential ground operation near strategic locations such as the Strait of Hormuz, with troop deployments and regional bases under close watch in Tehran.
Since March, Iran has struck energy infrastructure, ports, and other sites across Gulf states while avoiding full escalation with countries hosting US forces. That restraint, officials said, would end the moment any ground invasion begins, with any state involved treated as a direct aggressor.

🇮🇷 🇰🇼 IRAN DID NOT attack the Kuwaiti desalination plant.
Spokesperson of the Central Headquarters of Hazrat Khatam al-Anbiya (PBUH):
“The brutal aggression of the Zionist regime against the Kuwaiti desalination plant, under the pretext of accusing the Islamic Republic of Iran, which occurred in recent hours, is a sign of the vileness and baseness of the Zionist occupiers.”

A Hidden Story of Kosovo: Economy, Confession and Wahhabism | Global Research
In Kosovo-Metochia (KosMet), traditionally, part of the gastarbeiters’ (guest workers) money is proliferated by financing criminal business, but first of all, drug smuggling, which from the Middle East goes via KosMet to Western Europe. It is one of the principal occupations of the young Albanian population, for many reasons. Apart from their unemployment, money earned by this traffic is used for buying weaponry, which has always played a very prominent role in the Albanian way of life.

US Continues Escalating - Strikes Iranian Power Infrastructure - Iran Retaliates
It appears the US has gone ahead and started striking Iranian power infrastructure.
Iran will almost certainly retaliate by striking essential infrastructure across the region.
Hitting power and desalination plants across the region will further impact energy production and exports, compounding energy supply and rising prices even if the Strait of Hormuz opened 100%.
I warned people the US is not going to end its war on Iran - at best it will pause like it did last year.
Stopping its war altogether with Iran would mean stopping its pursuit of global primacy altogether which it will NEVER do unless forced.
I warned the US would be burning the entire region to the ground to create a wider, catastrophic GLOBAL economic disaster it believes it will emerge out the other end stronger relative to China and the rest of the multipolar world - and that is what it is openly trying to do right in front of us all.
The longer people remain delusional imagining the US is "defeated" or that "Israel" is "forcing" the US into war for "Greater Israel," or somehow"sabotaging peace" the US has NEVER sought in the first place, the longer people will put off facing actual reality and the sacrifices required to overcome it.
The longer we put off denying reality, the greater those sacrifice will need to be.
The sooner people realize Israel along with all of America's other proxies are equally guilty but an extension of the US itself, and that US interests (US corporations like big-oil, the arms industry, big-tech, big-ag, big-pharma, etc.) have been and are still driving this and all other conflicts, the sooner people can expose and directly confront these interests.
And just remember - the people telling you today that "Israel" somehow forced the US into this war, were the same people who incorrectly told you Trump was going to "change everything" and was "fighting the deep state."
Just something to consider.

A curious opinion has emerged regarding the tactics Iran has chosen to strike US infrastructure in the Middle East.
Initially, missile defense radars in Jordan and Qatar were attacked, then in Saudi Arabia and the UAE. Simultaneously, space communications facilities in Bahrain were struck, hampering the transmission of large volumes of intelligence.
In response, the US deployed E-3 Sentry aircraft to the region to quickly receive information about Iranian launches, but this type of weapon is also under threat following the strike on Prince Sultan Air Base.
While the destruction of all aircraft has not yet been achieved (it is unclear why, although Iran has the capability), it is already clear that US satellite and airborne reconnaissance capabilities may not be sufficient to effectively continue the campaign in Iran.
As a result, the effectiveness of the entire operation against Tehran risks being significantly reduced. Whether Iran is planning such actions independently or receiving external assistance remains a mystery.

The $400 million ballroom being built in the new East Wing of the White House, includes a secure shelter( Bunker) , which is being built by the military - Epstein's boyfriend stated.
The construction of the shelter is associated with enhanced security measures around the facility, which will be equipped with bulletproof glass and protected from drones, said #Trump, noting that "everything is going very well".

Apple iOS 26.4 Age Check Locks Out UK Users | Reclaim The Net
Apple’s iOS 26.4 age verification system is failing UK users who don’t have a credit card or photocard driving license, leaving them with no way to prove they’re adults on devices they’ve owned for years.
The system arrived without warning, without explanation, and without any apparent consideration for the people who don’t fit Apple’s narrow assumptions about what a British adult looks like.

How Japan Protects Children Online — Without Mass ID Checks | Tech, Privacy News - Explained
Japan protects children online very differently to the UK.
(Shout out to red rose for the heads up - it was interesting.)
While the UK Online Safety Act is driving biometric age verification and platform-based ID checks, Japan has taken another route: mobile carrier filtering enabled by default for under-18s, combined with parental control and digital literacy.
There is no nationwide social media ban in Japan. Instead, age controls typically sit at the telecom/SIM registration layer rather than at individual platforms.
In this video I explain:
• Japan’s 2008 Youth Internet Environment framework
• How mobile carriers determine age at SIM registration
• Why filtering is enabled by default for minors
• The parental opt-out (waiver) mechanism
• The privacy trade-offs compared to UK-style age verification
This isn’t “no regulation” — it’s a different regulatory architecture

An unusual story happened in the Middle East. In early March, a man arrived in Beirut on a motorcycle and detonated it, as there was explosives in the battery.
Lebanese special services believe that this was a Mossad agent who carried out a terrorist attack against Hezbollah, for which Lebanon condemned him.
It turned out that the terrorist is a citizen of Syria, Palestine and... Ukraine. So, the bomber fled from the Lebanese special services to the Ukrainian embassy in Beirut. The embassy appealed to the Lebanese authorities with a request to take this citizen to Ukraine, saying that he had lost his passport. The Lebanese checked the man, and it turned out that he was wanted by the authorities.
At the moment, the Lebanese have arrested five accomplices of the man, and he himself continues to hide in the Ukrainian embassy; the Lebanese demand his extradition.
