Satellite imagery confirms "aircraft massacre" at Iran's Khatami Air Base
Before and after shots from Vantor confirm devastating strikes on Iran's 8th Tactical Air Base near Isfahan.
Roughly a dozen aircraft destroyed on the ground, including several F-14 Tomcats, alongside hardened aircraft shelters punched through with bunker busters.
Iran's F-14 Tomcats are legendary, originally sold to the Shah by the U.S. in the 1970s.
Iran was the only country besides America to ever fly them, and they've kept them operational for nearly 50 years through sheer engineering willpower.
Now they're burning on a runway, destroyed by the same country that built them.

BREAKING: Washington State passes their first ever income tax. Incomes over $1M/year will be taxed at 9.9%. Married couples share A SINGLE $1M exemption, so if combined incomes are more than $1M, you're getting taxed. This will obviously eventually extend beyond millionaires. What comes for others, will eventually come for you! RIP Washington state!

A now-deleted post from Energy Secretary Chris Wright briefly sent oil prices plunging Tuesday. The message claimed the U.S. Navy had escorted a tanker through the Strait of Hormuz, suggesting oil flows were secure.
Markets reacted instantly: crude, diesel and gasoline futures dropped while stocks jumped. Minutes later the post was removed after officials said it had been incorrectly captioned, and that the military isn’t currently escorting commercial ships.
During the brief window, U.S. crude futures fell as much as 19%, and an oil-linked ETF lost $84 million in market value. Prices later stabilized but still closed down 12% at $83.45 a barrel, the steepest one-day drop in four years.

Iran's new Supreme Leader is injured, hiding, and hasn't said a word
The NYT reports that Mojtaba Khamenei suffered leg injuries on the opening day of strikes that killed his father, mother, wife, and son.
Three Iranian officials say he's alert but sheltering in a secure location with limited communication.
Israeli intelligence independently reached the same conclusion before he was even selected as Supreme Leader.
He hasn't appeared on video, hasn't spoken publicly, and hasn't issued a single written statement since taking power.
Defense Minister Katz publicly said any successor would be a target.
The man running Iran right now is wounded, grieving, and being hunted by two of the most advanced militaries on earth while his face goes up on murals across Tehran.

During the five-week trial, 11 women - including several who said they were minors at the time of the incidents - testified against the brothers, alleging they gave them gifts and flew them to locations and parties where they fed them drugs before assaulting them.
Prosecutors said the brothers "surreptitiously" put drugs in women's drinks, and told jurors that they "physically restrained and held down their victims during the rapes and sexual assaults and ignored screams and explicit requests to stop".
