The American military believes that their air defense systems will not be able to reliably intercept all "Shahids", reports CNN.
Pentagon chief Pete Hegseth and the head of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, Dan Kaine, admitted that Iranian "Shahids" pose a greater problem than initially expected - because they fly "low and slow" and can "better evade air defense systems than ballistic missiles".
According to one of the sources, officials tried to reduce the alarming impression and noted that partners in the Persian Gulf have stocks of interceptor missiles.

Kurdish forces in Iraq have launched a ground military offensive against Iran's Islamic regime, according to the Israeli publication i24News, citing a source.
According to him, thousands of Kurdish fighters began taking up combat positions in Iran as early as Monday.
There is currently no confirmation of this information.
Would be suicide IMHO if true. Rushing into attacks is asking for failure. PJAK has has only about 1000-3000 members.

— 🇮🇷/🇷🇺 NEW: A Russian prankster, wearing a Hitler mustache and calling himself 'Adolf', approached Iran's exiled Clown Prince Reza Pahlavi for an interview, stating he was a representative of German chancellor Friedrich Merz
Reza Pahlavi obliged, and despite obvious red flags he continued the entire interview having no clue he was being mocked throughout.
This is the person the Iranian diaspora wants as leader.

🇮🇶🇮🇷 The CIA is working on arming Kurdish forces for their invasion and rebellion in Iran, - Reuters.
- According to the agency, the Kurdish side has requested military support from the US; the involvement of the CIA in arms supplies is also being discussed.
- Leaders in Erbil and Baghdad have been in contact with the Trump administration in recent days. The stated goal is to create conditions for an internal rebellion against the current Iranian leadership.
- Reuters notes uncertainty about the combat capability of Iranian Kurdish groups: their experience and potential are assessed as heterogeneous.
- The reaction of other regional states to such a scenario also remains unclear.
- According to analysts, an escalation could strengthen separatist sentiments among the Baluchis in Iran, given their ties with groups in the Pakistani province of Balochistan. However, it is unlikely that Pakistan will support steps leading to the possible independence of the region.

Qatar will fully shut down gas liquefaction on Wednesday and won't be able to return to normal production and export levels of super-chilled gas for at least a month, two sources familiar with the matter said.
The sources said that once Qatar's main Ras Laffan plant shuts on Wednesday, it won't be able to restart turning gas into super-chilled fuel for at least two weeks, according to initial estimates. Once restarted, it will take at least another two weeks to reach full capacity, the sources said.

Giving weapons to Ukraine was an "unwise decision," said White House press secretary Caroline Livitt.
"Unfortunately, for four years in the White House, we had a very stupid and incompetent leader who gave away much of our best weaponry to another country located very far away, called Ukraine. Trump pointed out that this was an unwise decision," she said.

The conflict over Iran could provoke the largest migration crisis in Europe, writes The Times.
The publication refers to the annual report of the EU Agency for Asylum, where Iran is designated as a "significant potential crisis". The document notes that with a population of about 90 million people, even partial destabilization of the country could lead to an unprecedented scale of refugee movement.
According to the agency's estimates, if only about 10% of the population leaves the country, the scale of the migration flow will be comparable to the largest crises of recent decades.

⚡️🇮🇷🇮🇱 Footage from earlier shows the aftermath of a strike at the "121st police station on Tehran Battle Street" in Tehran.
Separate footage also from earlier captures the moment a bomb struck near Sanandaj, showing the attack occurring while work was under way nearby.
- Wfwitness
Numerous police stations are being bombed throughout, there is a misbelief that this was cause an uprising. It's very unlikely any police stations have people in them. Everyone here knows what the US and Israel playbook is, so if we can all predict targets so can the Iranians. It is flawed logic that bombing leads to regime change, this is contrary to all known military history

Trump called European buyers of Chinese "windmills" "suckers".
"China produces all the windmills; the only problem is that they don't have wind power stations. They produce windmills and sell them to suckers in Europe. Europe buys them by the thousands," said the US president.
Not sure why with all the problems that windmills is coming to mind...

➖Qatar: satellite antennas at Al Udeid Air Base - the largest US military base in the Middle East;
➖Kuwait: three radar domes at Camp Arifjan base were damaged or destroyed; and at Ali Al Salem Air Base, at least 8 buildings or structures located near the satellite communication infrastructure were damaged or destroyed;
➖Saudi Arabia: a building near a radar dome at Prince Sultan Air Base;
➖United Arab Emirates: several structures at a military base near Al Ruwais near the AN/TPY-2 radar system used for detecting and tracking ballistic missiles; and densely located buildings and tents 160 km east of Al Dafra Air Base.
▪️Other American military facilities in Dubai, Iraq, Kuwait, and Jordan were also hit, but they are not located near communication or radar systems.
▪️In addition, Iran announced the destruction of the AN/FPS-132 Block 5 early warning radar in Qatar. This is a radar of strategic importance worth more than a billion dollars.

Satellite images of the radar with traces of strikes have also appeared.
