✡️✍️ CNN:

The United States is in the process of evacuating diplomats and their families from several countries in the Middle East, including Bahrain, Kuwait, Jordan, Lebanon [Beirut Embassy Complex], Qatar, and the United Arab Emirates, amid concerns about escalating tensions in the region.

@SimurghRes

Alrighty then. Now we wait!

@SimurghRes

✍️Iranian sources are suggesting that these are missile launches from Iran.

The Sepah (IRGC) and Artesh (Army) are diversifying their launching points away from Sirik.

Iran can launch cruise missiles and drones from hundreds of locations along its 2200 km shoreline with the Persian Gulf and the Sea of Oman.

🏴‍☠️/🇵🇸⚡شهر الخلیل، واقع در کرانه غربی: از طریق بلندگوها، ارتش صهیونیستی از ساکنان منطقه عین دیر بحه درخواست می‌کند: «وسایل خود را جمع کنید و برای حفظ امنیت خود، از این محله خارج شوید.»

🏴‍☠️/🇵🇸⚡The city of Hebron, located in the West Bank: Through loudspeakers, the Zionist army asks the residents of the Ain Deir Baheh area: "Gather your belongings and leave this neighborhood to ensure your safety."

🏴‍☠️/🇵🇸⚡مدينة الخليل، الواقعة في الضفة الغربية: يطلب جيش الاحتلال الصهيوني، عبر مكبرات الصوت، من سكان منطقة عين دير بحة: "اجمعوا أمتعتكم واخرجوا من هذا الحي حفاظاً على سلامتكم."

✍️ Jared Kushner is the embodiment of everything rotten about the Trump family's "business as usual" approach to power from nepotism, opaque financial dealings, to staggering conflicts of interest and the apparent treatment of public office as a gateway to private enrichment.

Explosive new reporting claims that Dutch intelligence uncovered Kushner's access to secret Middle Eastern bank accounts containing hundreds of millions of dollars, alongside another account reportedly holding $1 billion.

The accusations raise disturbing questions about undisclosed financial arrangements, foreign influence and his dealings with powerful regional figures of the Gulf states while serving as a senior adviser in Trump's first administration.

These revelations point to the fact that Kushner failed to report those billions to the IRS, ergo violating American federal law.

The discussions about "reshaping the Middle East" make the implications even more alarming.

Who gets to shape the region's future when private financial interests, foreign rulers and unelected political insiders occupy the same room?

This is a question of accountability, sovereignty and whose interests American foreign policy actually serves.

The Trump family's business model has long invited scrutiny over the blurring of public power and private profit. These allegations take that concern to whole new level.

When power becomes a family business, corruption is no longer a scandal on the margins. It becomes a threat to the entire system. (May the system come down crumbling on their heads..usual prayer from a Lebanese southerner😅).

And it seems regional unelected rulers were doing their job pretty well. The Emirati and Saudi rulers are a textbook example of the colonial strategy of installing and cultivating compliant regional partners who serve the interests of external powers while presenting themselves as guardians of their own nations...yeah right!

They have invested in strategic alliances, security arrangements and grand promises of protection, yet when Iranian and Yemeni ballistic missiles exposed the vulnerabilities of their territories, an uncomfortable question emerged: what is the value of an alliance with colonial powers if those powers cannot guarantee the security they promise their most loyal regional partners?

These dictatorships have helped entrench a regional order shaped by foreign interests, while their peoples bear the consequences of decisions made in palaces far removed from ordinary citizens. A pawn may be rewarded while it remains useful, but it should never mistake its usefulness for sovereignty.

Colonial powers do not cultivate loyal servants out of affection; they cultivate instruments of influence. And when the instrument becomes expendable, all the grand rhetoric of partnership and protection can evaporate in an instant.

So tik tok⌛️ Yemen will discipline them all.

A U.S. C-17 military transport aircraft has arrived in Eilat, in the south of occupied Palestine.

@SimurghRes

According to a report by Axios, an urgent U.S. intelligence memorandum has warned of advanced Iranian plots targeting officials abroad.

Consequently, the U.S. State Department issued an order on Friday to reduce the number of American diplomatic and government personnel stationed at embassies in the United Arab Emirates, Lebanon, Qatar, and Jordan.

🇺🇸⚔️🇮🇷 It's suicide for Iran to allow the US bases to return in any capacity.

🇨🇵✡️ During the protests in France, a Muslim man says, “Don’t steal. It’s haram”(forbidden in Islam).

The girl replies, “I’m not Muslim. I’m Jewish.”

🇵🇰⚔️🇮🇷 Iranian LPG exports to Pakistan have completely stopped following Islamabad's border closure with Iran on US orders.

More than half of Pakistan's total LPG imports used to come from Iran at highly preferential prices.

Reuters reports that the price of a 12 kg LPG cylinder has risen to 7,000 Pakistani rupees ($25) from 4,500 rupees ($16) within days and could climb further.

@SimurghRes

🇷🇺🇮🇷Russian Embassy in Iran says rumors about evacuation of its technical team from Bushehr are false.

"Neither embassy staff nor specialists at Bushehr NPP have any plans to evacuate."

@SimurghRes

**This brings us to a suggestion by one of our GC commentators that perhaps Iranian experts have been evacuated -by two Tu-134Bs that arrived from Russia and left yesterday Friday- to protect them from potential Zionist assassination strikes.
