🇮🇷🇺🇲🇨🇳 BREAKING | According to CNN, U.S. intelligence indicates that China is preparing to deliver new air defense systems to Iran within the next few weeks, according to three people familiar with recent intelligence assessments.

The systems Beijing is preparing to transfer are shoulder-fired anti-air missile systems known as MANPADs, the sources said, which posed an asymmetric threat to low-flying US military aircraft throughout the course of the five-week war and could again if the ceasefire falls apart.

Two of the sources told CNN there are indications that Beijing is working to route the shipments through third countries to mask their true origin.

RT @clashreport: Prof. John Mearsheimer:

This is all going to destroy the Trump presidency.

He may remain in office, but he’s damaged goods in a truly serious way.

He thinks he has the Midas touch… This is not like all the previous cases he got away with.

There’s no way he’s not going to take a huge political hit.

🇷🇺🇺🇦 BIG | "This is no longer a war, it seems to have taken the form of a sacrifice. In this war, we have lost the goal, we do not exactly know what we want to achieve and when we can consider ourselves victorious. In this regard, the Ukrainians are in a superior position to us because they know what they are fighting for. In their understanding, we are enemies, invaders, they want to defeat us and liberate the country from us. In 2014, if it were not for the help of the Russian army, we would have been overrun in Donbas."

🔻 - admits Pavel Gubarev, former leader of the Donbas Russian separatists and a veteran of the so-called special military operation (SMO), in an interview with Yuri Dud.

RT @NSTRIKE1231: 🇷🇺 Former Donbas separatist leader and veteran of the so-called “special military operation,” Pavel Gubarev, said in an interview with Yuri Dud that the war has lost its purpose and resembles a form of sacrifice.

🔻 He stated that Russia no longer clearly understands its goals or what would constitute victory, while Ukrainians have a clearer objective — to defeat what they see as an occupying force and liberate their country.

🔻 Gubarev also acknowledged that without support from the Russian army in 2014, separatist forces in Donbas would have been overrun.

This basically means Vance will take the first proposal that gives Trump a political way out of the mess he created, regardless of what it costs the rest of us.

The US and Iranian delegations were gathered for private meetings at a hotel in Islamabad. Iranian negotiator Mohammad Ghalibaf said he entered talks hopeful, with good intentions, but cautious, per Iranian state TV. @VP Vance told US reporters President Trump gave him "some pretty clear guidelines" and if the Iranians were willing to negotiate in good faith, the US would extend the open hand. - Jennifer Jacobs

RT @general_ben: Your map is a mess and your analysis is worse. Rota is a Spanish Naval base which hosts US Navy ships responsible for Missile Defense of the Mediterranean region, including Israel. At the 'gateway to the Mediterranean'...kinda important for protecting freedom of navigation in and out of the Med.

Keep the bases in Germany. Berlin has its problems, but it’s an important ally and now meets NATO’s 2% target. Spain lags, resists higher defense spending, and under Sánchez acts like an American adversary while relying on America’s shield. - Mark Dubowitz

RT @NSTRIKE1231: 🇺🇦 Zelensky:

📌 “Today, we defined our response parameters to potential ceasefire violations by Russian forces. We understand who we are dealing with.”

📌 “Ukraine will observe silence and respond strictly in a mirror manner — if there are no Russian strikes in the air, on land, or at sea, there will be no response from us.”

📌 “The Ukrainian army is prepared for any scenario. We have repeatedly proposed various ceasefire formats and believe Easter should be a time of calm and security.”

📌 “An Easter ceasefire could mark the beginning of real progress toward peace — we have made such a proposal.”

📌 “We also coordinated with the Commander-in-Chief on how Ukrainian units will operate under ceasefire conditions and informed the Russian side about the mirror-response approach and the possibility of extending the ceasefire beyond Easter.”
