Al-Mayadeen: US troops suffer fatalities in Erbil
Citing the Israeli news outlet "Hadashot," Al-Mayadeen network has reported that several US military personnel were killed in the most recent Iranian strikes on Erbil, located in northern Iraq.

🇺🇸US aerial activity over the region has intensified; ten aerial refueling aircraft—comprising KC-135R and KC-46A models—along with an E-3G early warning aircraft (AWACS), are currently operating in the area's airspace.
** A quick reminder that many of these support aircraft were flown to the region during the cockamamie ceasefire and the subsequent MoU, negotiated by Ghalibaf.

🇮🇷🇺🇸 Initial reports indicate that a spy drone was shot down in Iran’s East Azerbaijan province.

🇮🇷🇮🇷🇺🇸 The spokesperson for the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps:

- The enemy should not delude itself into thinking it has the ability to continue the current battle equation or turn the war into a war of attrition.
- Our current operations are focused on destroying the American offensive infrastructure in the region, and other phases will follow.

Various reports say a reconnaissance drone was shot down.
We have no independent confirmation.

🇮🇷🇺🇸Iranian air defenses active over the skies of the capital, Tehran.
This is not to be confused with some errand reports on overzealous social media of explosions at Parchin.
The reconnaissance UAVs being targeted by Samavat radar & IR guided 35 mm AAA however, may very well be flying over Parchin.
There's a massive missile complex located at Parchin, but it's believed to be 100s of meters deep underground.

@SimurghRes

It's transpired from almost 7 hours of the US missile attacks that it maybe striking any facility in Iran's coastal cities even suspected of housing anti-ship missiles or drones; if this proves correct, it would indicate a US intelligence failure.
Iran has 2200km of shoreline along the Persian Gulf and the Sea of Oman. Immediately behind the shoreline sit mountain ranges that present not only a massive defencive barrier, but they're dotted with 100s of missile firing positions.
And yet we've seen nothing of specific targeting of such positions.
So far even soap powder factories and industrial fish processing units have been attacked.

🇮🇷Iran's Crisis Management Headquarters Spokesperson:

"In the early hours of Thursday, parts of Semnan Airport were targeted by enemy airstrikes.
Emergency response teams are currently taking the necessary measures following these attacks.
Fortunately, residential areas in the cities and villages of Semnan Province were not targeted tonight; the public should disregard news and rumors fabricated by enemy media and need not be concerned.
**Such strikes have in the past been conducted using the Republic of Azerbaijan airspace and the Caspian Sea. Ilham Aliyev is closely allied with the Zionist apartheid entity.

@SimurghRes

🇮🇷🇯🇴🇺🇸Guess what? Jordan lied again about interception of Iranian ballistic missiles.

🇮🇷Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman, Esmail Baghaei:

"There are at present no plans for talks with the US."
**An Iranian delegation headed by the FM Araghchi travels from Tehran to Doha —ostensibly to attend a ceremony for the former Emir of Qatar— to hold talks regarding "negotiations."
Of course, this is nothing new for the Iranian public: the Reformists always bend backwards to help whenever the US faces a problem. They even added a sweetner during their visit: an Iranian-American terrorist arrested during the coup attempt (riots) in December 2025, was also released.

🇺🇸🇮🇷 Trump Claims Iran Allowed American Citizen Detained There to Leave the Country

- U.S. President Donald Trump stated that Iran has allowed an American citizen, whom he said had been "wrongfully detained" since December 2024, to leave the country.

- Trump wrote on the "Truth Social" platform: "She is now out of Iran and safe, and in good condition."

- Trump described this move as "a gesture of goodwill from Iran," and Iran has not yet confirmed the accuracy of Trump's statement.
