The Russians installed a North Korean-made Type 75 107mm multiple rocket launcher on the Kurier unmanned ground vehicle to use it in combat against the Ukrainians.

Curious combo, though the efficiency might be questionable. https://twitter.com/Archer83Able/status/2042565443882279334/video/1

In Odesa, a hitman tried to kill a senior Navy officer outside his home, posing as a cyclist. He threw his bike under the car and went for his gun but was grabbed on the spot.

Less than 10 vessels have transited the Strait of Hormuz in the last 24 hours, according to automatic identification system (AIS) information on http://MarineTraffic.com, more than 48 hours after President Donald J. Trump announced a 2-week ceasefire if Iran opened the Strait. https://twitter.com/sentdefender/status/2042571150249619784/video/1

IRAN WAR 2026

What was achieved. What wasn’t.

The nuclear threat was pushed back. Not eliminated. Pushed back.

Iran’s ability to launch sustained mass ballistic missile barrages at Israel as an existential threat has been completely degraded.

The regime’s missile industry took a major hit. Mass production capability likely cut by at least ~80%.

Hezbollah has been severely weakened. Israel is now shaping what could become a ~1000 km security buffer in Lebanon.

Gulf states may want to work closer with Israel, potentially paving the way for more peace and normalization.

Iranian economy was completely decimated before going into this, imagine where it is now, we will see how this plays out going forward.

WHAT WASN’T ACHIEVED

The IRGC still holds leverage over the Strait of Hormuz. That remains the biggest unresolved pressure point. Watch it closely.

The regime is still standing. Still in control of Iran. Iranians are still in danger.

LESSONS LEARNED

Interceptor production needs to scale fast. Not marginally. At least 10x. This war exposed it clearly.

It doesn’t take much. A relatively small mix of drones and missiles can threaten ~20% of global oil supply.

Alternative energy routes are no longer optional. They’re urgent.

NATO, the UK, and Europe expect U.S. backing on Ukraine and Russia. When the U.S. needed support on Iran and reopening Hormuz, most said they would step in only after the war. That gap matters.

Gulf economies proved more exposed than many assumed.

But one key point: some Gulf states, especially the UAE, performed far better than expected. Their missile and drone defense systems held up under real pressure. Far more prepared than publicly known.

With ratings in the toilet and Americans largely opposed to the war, it’s hard not to see this "leak" as an effort to paint Vance as the “voice of reason” ahead of 2028.

Vance tried to stop the war, but Trump didn’t listen

The New York Times reports that Vice President J.D. Vance was the strongest opponent of the war with Iran within Trump’s circle. He openly called the operation a gamble and warned about the consequences.

Vance argued that the war could destabilize the Middle East, lead to heavy casualties, and politically damage Trump — voters had expected “no new wars.”

It also created risks for the U.S.: ammunition shortages, an unpredictable Iranian response, and a possible blockade of the Strait of Hormuz, which would immediately impact fuel prices.

Tucker Carlson also tried to dissuade Trump, warning that the war could ruin his presidency. But Trump responded simply: “Everything will be fine. It always is.” - NEXTA

The IDF says Hezbollah operatives fired rockets from a school in southern Lebanon, releasing drone footage of the incident.

According to the military, video from Shihabiyah (Tayr Zibna) shows "the thermal signature of the launcher can be clearly seen, as well as its transfer in real time into the school grounds."

It adds the use of the school "constitutes a violation of international law," and says the site was struck "to remove the threat to the State of Israel."

One key point: the Islamic regime promised there would be no talks with the U.S. while Hezbollah is being hit. Hezbollah is still taking heavy strikes today, yet as of now, talks appear to still be moving forward.

This tells you who is in charge.

This can obviously still change.
