RT @nastasiaKlimash: A reminder: Olena Rohoza is a scammer exploiting Ukrainians' grief to collect money for her family's personal needs. This image here is AI, and it's disheartening to see how this grifter gets much more attention than genuine UA voices because she optimises her posts for virality https://twitter.com/nastasiaKlimash/status/2055363420224946215/photo/1

I love that even before checking the comments I knew we would all have the same guy on mind.

The basic training is providing Ukraine with pilots who can quickly transition to Western-built attack helicopters. https://twitter.com/Osinttechnical/status/2055402436819566887/video/1

RT @sentdefender: Merchant vessel traffic in the area of the Strait of Hormuz continues to be largely absent. Over the last 24 hours, less than 5 vessels were visible transiting inbound or outbound and all were using the Iranian traffic separation scheme. A normal 24 hour period before the war with Iran saw approximately 130 ships transit per day moving 20% of global oil and liquefied natural gas supply.

According to the New York Times, citing two Middle Eastern officials, the U.S. and Israel are preparing to possibly resume combat operations against Iran, possibly under a new name, as early as next week. Per the report, options for targeting include what one official called more aggressive strikes against both military and infrastructure targets. Additionally, another option on the table is to use special forces to go in and extract highly enriched uranium from inside Iran. However, per the report, this would need thousands of supporting troops and numerous other support elements to succeed and the risks of such an operation are extremely high.

U.S. President Donald Trump on Iran:

"They have no deck. No, the only thing they have going is a fake press. They know how well we're doing militarily.

And then at the request of a very nice group of people from Pakistan, who are very close to Iran, I didn't go that final. They said, could you stop? We're going to make a deal. And we really had the confines of a deal.

No nuclear. They were going to give us the dust, nuclear dust. Everything we wanted.

And every time they make a deal, the next day it's like we didn't have that conversation. And that's taken place about five times. There's something wrong with them. Actually, they're crazy.

And you know what? Because of that, they cannot have a nuclear weapon.

(Chinese President Xi Jinping) agrees with me on that. He agrees with me that he wants to see it end. He'd like to see it end. He would like to help if he wants help. That's great. But we don't need help.

And you know the problem with help? When somebody helps you, they always want something on the other side. That's the way help works."
