❗️US approves $151.8 million 'emergency' weapons sale to Israel amid ongoing war on Iran, bypassing congressional review
The Trump administration on Friday approved a $151.8 million weapons sale to Israel, invoking “emergency” authority to bypass congressional review as the US and Israel continue their deadly attacks on Iran. The proposed sale includes 12,000 BLU-110A/B 1,000-pound bomb bodies, along with engineering, logistics, and technical support. The State Department said the Secretary of State determined an emergency exists that requires immediate transfer, waiving the usual congressional oversight under Section 36(b) of the Arms Export Control Act. The principal contractor will be Repkon USA in Garland, Texas, with some munitions drawn from existing US stockpiles.
The approval comes amid escalating regional tensions following the joint US-Israeli airstrikes on 28 February, which killed more than 1,000 people, including Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei, over 150 schoolgirls, and senior military officials. Iran has responded with strikes targeting US-linked sites across the region, and a drone attack in Kuwait recently killed six US service members at a tactical operations center.

Das Ende des Westens?
Könnte es sein, dass der Westen das Jahr 2026 nicht überlebt? Dass dies das letzte Jahr ist? Der bestimmende Vorgang dieser Tage ist zweifellos der Iran-Krieg. Das Problem daran ist, dass die Meldungen völlig widersprüchlich sind und man nicht weiß, welche…

Iran continues to outperform both Israel and the US, and the political result of this remarkable performance are in the very early stages of materializing.

Die Epstein-Koalition dachte, dass sie ein Paar Bomben am Wochenende abwirft und der Rest dann von innen heraus von allein läuft. Die haben sich komplett verkalkuliert und wenn man sich die Analysen der Geopolitik-Experten so ansieht, sehen das aktuell gefühlt 90% so. Die haben noch nicht mal mehr die Deutungshoheit im Internet, obwohl sie die ganzen großen Medien kontrollieren.
Das Imperium befindet sich in der tiefsten Krise seiner Geschichte.

❗️Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian:
“The Islamic Republic of Iran has always emphasized maintaining and continuing friendly relations with the governments of the region based on good neighborliness and mutual respect for national sovereignty and territorial integrity. This does not negate Iran’s inherent right to defend itself against the military aggression of the United States and the Zionist regime.
We will stand and resist to the last drop of blood to defend our country. Iran’s defensive operations are directed exclusively at targets and capabilities that are the source and starting point of aggressive actions against the Iranian nation, and we consider those targets legitimate.
We have not attacked friendly and neighboring countries; rather, we have targeted U.S. military bases, facilities, and capabilities in the region.”
