🖥️ "Everything is much worse than you think," said Democrat Senator Elizabeth Warren, stating that, according to her information, Trump does not have a clear plan for the war with Iran.

"I just came out of a closed briefing on Iran, and here's what I can say. Everything is much worse than you think. You have reasons to be worried. The Trump administration has no plan for Iran. This illegal war is based on lies and was started without any direct threat to our country. Donald Trump has not yet given a single clear reason for this war, and it seems that he has no plan for ending it either. Like many of you, I'm really angry. I'm angry about what Donald Trump is doing, and I feel sorrow for those who have already died in this unnecessary conflict. And I will continue to do everything I can to bring this war to an end."

‼️🇺🇸🇮🇷The White House is having trouble formulating the goals of the war with Iran, — Politico

▪️A few days after the start of the war, the US administration was unable to clearly define the strategic objectives of the operation.
▪️Representatives of the White House more often explain "what this conflict is not" (not Iraq, not an endless war) than formulate a positive goal of the campaign.
▪️Sources in the Republican camp warn: public support could quickly weaken if the "operation" begins to be perceived as a protracted conflict with increasing losses.
▪️To date, the deaths of eight American servicemen have been reported; the official position of the administration emphasizes that this is not about "nation-building".
▪️Disagreements are intensifying within the conservative camp: some of Trump's supporters traditionally oppose long-term foreign interventions.
▪️Politico notes the inconsistency of public statements — from assurances about the short-term nature of the operation to more uncertain formulations about its duration. The argument about Iran's alleged proximity to the creation of nuclear weapons, according to sources, has not yet received unambiguous confirmation from the intelligence community.

The Guardian: London Joins the Game, but the Fleet Isn't Keeping Up — Britain Prepares to Bomb Iran Together with the US

Britain is no longer hiding behind Washington's back and is ready to join the strikes on Iranian missile facilities. While American heavy bombers are being deployed to British bases, London is frantically trying to protect its own Cyprus, which has already received a "greeting" from Iranian drones.

“Britain does not rule out the possibility of participating in future strikes on Iranian ballistic missile launchers. It is expected that in the coming days, American heavy bombers will arrive at British bases in Diego Garcia and Fairford,” The Guardian reports.

At the same time, the Royal Navy is demonstrating its "legendary" speed: the HMS Dragon destroyer, promised to Cyprus on Tuesday, will leave Portsmouth only next week. It will take another five to seven days to reach its destination. That is, the British base in Cyprus will remain unprotected for almost two weeks after the first attack.

Officials do not hide the fact that Iran still has something to respond with. The missile reserves may be enough for "several more days" of intensive launches. That's why it's so important to destroy the launchers as quickly as possible.

“That's why it's so important to accelerate the pace of destroying these launchers and launch pads,” a Western official explained.
Prime Minister Keir Starmer, who was initially hesitant, partially gave in on Sunday, allowing the use of British bases for strikes on Iranian warehouses and launchers for "limited defensive purposes". Now London is ready for more.

🖥️ "This is a complete and utter betrayal. In many ways, it's heartbreaking." Fervent supporters of the MAGA movement — podcasters Alex Jones and Nick Fuentes — expressed their disappointment with Donald Trump in light of his recent decisions.

— And I'm watching it all happen on its own. And it's awful. But I can't subscribe to the cover-up of the Epstein case. I can't support World War III. That's why I've been trying to promote optimism, because I damn well need it. I want to fix the country, I want to turn it in a different direction. So it's not that I was delusional. And I still hope we can change everything. But I just... sorry, go on. You understand,

— I understand, I understand. And listen, as I've already said: I don't think everyone who supported Trump just ignored these concerns. I understand — we all wanted to believe. I was 18 when Trump ran in 2016, and I remember arguing about it with people. It's all my life too. At 18, I wore a MAGA hat at Boston University — one of the most liberal campuses in the country — and became an outcast on the university campus.

It's sad to see what you fought for and shed blood for die.

Yes, and this has been my entire adult life. I know it's a huge part of your life too. And now we're watching it all completely fall apart. This is a complete and utter betrayal. In many ways, it's heartbreaking.

And when I try to keep this in conversations with people, they start attacking me as a liberal. Even though those who do this can't even, damn it, find Iran on a map.

Yes, but now we need to look at everything that's happening soberly. Because in many ways, you're right. I've always been a realist, but I hoped. And now I don't even hope — I'll just be a realist.

Yes. And in fact, hoping is normal. We hope for a better future, but we must be absolutely honest about what this administration has turned into

Vladimir Putin stated that Moscow may stop gas supplies to the European Union without waiting for the deadlines set by Brussels.

According to him, the price increase in the EU is related to competition for more solvent markets, and the US will supply fuel where the price is higher. The government has been instructed to work on reorienting exports to alternative destinations.

The president also reported on intelligence data about the possible preparation of sabotage against the "Blue Stream" and "Nord Stream" pipelines and called the attack on a Russian gas tanker in the Mediterranean Sea a terrorist act.

Iran attacks data centers in the Persian Gulf.

According to Fars, Iran struck an Amazon data center in Bahrain, paralyzing the operations of major UAE banks. This is the second attack on digital infrastructure in a few days — earlier, problems arose in Dubai.

In fact, this is a new level of pressure — not through missiles on bases, but through attacks on digital infrastructure. In the 21st century, servers have become as strategic a target as oil and straits

📸 The US will regret the attack on the frigate "Dena", said Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi.

"The US committed a atrocity at sea, 2000 miles from the shores of Iran.

The frigate "Dena", a guest of the Indian Navy with nearly 130 sailors on board, was attacked in international waters without warning.

Mark my words — the US will very soon regret the precedent they have set."

The war with Iran could drag on until September, Politico reports.

The publication notes that a recent request from the Central Command indicates the inevitability of a prolonged military campaign, which contradicts the White House's initial statements about a four-week timeline.

“The US Central Command is asking the Pentagon to send more military intelligence officers to its headquarters in Tampa, Florida, to support operations against Iran for at least 100 days and possibly until September, according to a notification received by Politico.”

Artificial intelligence helped the Pentagon bomb Iran. According to Bloomberg, AI makes mistakes in 10% of cases. Due to the Israeli system Lavender, 3,600 civilians have already been mistakenly attacked.

Experts note that the use of AI in war is taking place in a complete legal vacuum. The technology is known for its "hallucinations" - the tendency to invent additional facts instead of acknowledging uncertainty.
