🇺🇸/🇮🇷 The U.S. military targeted the civilian airport on Khark Island and destroyed four AgustaWestland AW109E helicopters belonging to Persian Gulf Helicopter Services.

- These helicopters were used for medical evacuation, search and rescue operations, and transporting workers to and from oil platforms.

🇮🇶🇺🇦🇷🇺 Iraqi security forces have thwarted a sabotage attempt targeting the Badra oil field in Wasit province, where the Russian company Gazprom Neft holds a 30% stake, according to the "Rai al-Youm" newspaper, owned by Abdel Bari Atwan.

- Officials stated that a suspect was arrested after security forces found a homemade explosive device (IED) inside his car before any attack could be carried out. During interrogation, the suspect confessed that he was recruited through specialized online chat rooms in search of work, and that he was operating under external instructions for a sum of $2,000. Investigators confirmed that digital forensic evidence supports his account.

- This means Ukrainian security service, in addition to its campaign against Russian oil refineries, is expanding its efforts to target Russian oil and gas interests outside the immediate region. Similar operations have targeted Russian ships and tankers in the Mediterranean Sea and the Atlantic Ocean.

⚡️🇺🇸🇮🇷 High threat of a large-scale missile attack by the United States against Iran tonight or tomorrow night, given the mentioned embassy closures, large-scale transport aircraft movements, and previously mentioned strategic aircraft movements.

Biggest threat is to Khuzestan Province, Iran's southern coast, and locations near Iranian missile cities, if CENTCOM's targeting stays consistent with the claimed goal of degrading Iran's control of the Strait of Hormuz.

However, Trump has talked about attacking Iran in ways far beyond attacking Iran's maritime capabilities, so it's rather unpredictable what CENTCOM will decide to do.

Don't know whether to laugh or cry.
After mouthing off at China, trying to undermine the Chinese economy, exacting unjust tariffs etc...Trump has gone and begged Xi to act bigly and mediate talks with Iran: clearly at a YUGE price.
How the mighty pedos have fallen!

significant damage within U.S. forces at Erbil airport, with another Patriot system reportedly disabled.

🇮🇷/🇰🇼🇧🇭 Sources familiar with the matter have reported that Bahrain and Kuwait secretly sent fighter jets to launch attacks on targets inside Iran, marking the first direct response of its kind against Tehran, and reflecting the difficult position that Arab countries find themselves in as the war continues.

- Some sources indicated that the air strikes, which took place earlier this month, targeted drone and missile storage facilities, as well as other military sites.

- The sources added that the United Arab Emirates, which launched repeated attacks on Iran at the beginning of the war, provided intelligence about the targets and offered defensive air cover for these operations, a sign of emerging Arab cooperation in the face of Iran. - Wall Street Journal.

🇮🇷 The Iranian government's Media Council has issued a statement addressing recent actions by the national broadcasting corporation. This statement follows the corporation's decision not to broadcast a segment of President Pezeshkian remarks on National Industry, Mining, and Trade Day. The omitted portion of the President's speech pertained to a permission granted by the late leader of the Islamic Revolution concerning negotiations.

- The Media Council highlighted that this incident occurred shortly after the broadcasting corporation aired an incomplete interview with the Speaker of the Islamic Consultative Assembly (though the full interview was subsequently broadcast the following day), and censored a portion of the Head of the Judiciary's statements in support of the President. These instances are cited as examples of atypical conduct by the institution toward the leaders of the government's branches.

- Additionally, the Media Council noted the broadcasting corporation's failure to air the Foreign Minister's interviews with foreign media outlets during the Ramadan War. This is presented as further evidence of how the Iranian broadcasting corporation manages the official diplomatic voice of the country, particularly in light of ongoing propaganda from Iran's adversaries.

🇮🇷🇮🇶🇺🇸A Patriot air defense system in Erbil, Iraqi Kurdistan Region, was targeted early this morning 24/07. Preliminary imagery suggests the system's deployment site sustained damage; several scorched areas are also visible around the base, likely resulting from secondary explosions.

🇬🇧🇮🇷There was a time when England, to humiliate the Iranians, installed the Dutch embassy’s stableman as the "Shah of Iran and shortly thereafter, to heap further humiliation, "dismissed" him!
