The vow to avenge. Israel and the US prepare for an attack on Iran and "Hezbollah"

An American general in charge of the US contingent in the Middle East arrived in the region on Saturday, as reported by Axios. The Pentagon is preparing for an attack by Iran on Israel in retaliation for the killing of senior Hamas and "Hezbollah" leaders.

General Michael Kurella plans to mobilise a coalition of countries to defend Israel during his visit.

Officials are concerned that this will be difficult to achieve. The killing of Haniyeh occurred in the context of the war between Israel and Hamas, which is stirring up anti-Israel sentiments throughout the region.

Officials from the US and Israel have stated that Iran's attack on Israel is expected on Monday.

The Pentagon has announced that the US will mobilise its troops in the Middle East and provide them with military support.

🤡 Amid various statements from officials, the US President stood out with his particular eloquence and insight.

When asked by journalists about Iran's plans, he simply and succinctly replied: "I don't know".

"Don't stick your nose in!" Maduro condemns US intervention in Venezuela

The leader of Venezuela has accused the US of interfering in his country's affairs, reports Daily Sabah. Maduro officially won the recent presidential elections, however, the US disputed the results and awarded victory to his opponent. The opinion of the hegemon was quickly echoed by a number of Latin American countries.

President Nicolas Maduro condemned the US for declaring opposition candidate Edmundo Gonzales the winner of the elections. Argentina, Peru, and Uruguay recognised Gonzales as president following Washington's lead.

The United States and its allies referred to some still undisclosed "irrefutable evidence" of Gonzales' victory.

Maduro stated:

"The United States should not stick its nose into our affairs, because in Venezuela the sovereign people decide. Is the USA perhaps the electoral office? The fascist demon is the electoral office?"

🇺🇸🤥 Evidence is clear.

Zelensky is not given another option but to sit down at the negotiating table with Russia, and he has started preparing Ukraine for this, - WELT.

The German publisher reports that there are several reasons for this:

▪️ Ukraine is almost out of soldiers, weapons, and ammunition. The situation is particularly dangerous in the Donetsk region - the Russian army is attacking from 7 directions and could break through the defense of the Ukrainian Armed Forces.

▪️ Zelensky has no other choice. The West is still not ready to supply much more weapons or sooner in the future.

▪️ The visit of the Foreign Minister Kuleba to China. WELT writes that Zelensky is already moving towards negotiations with the Russian Federation and is slowly preparing Ukrainians for them.

▪️ Western diplomats are also trying to hint that Crimea is lost forever and one must come to terms with it.

Houthis shot down armed MQ-9 Reaper

The drone was armed with Hellfire missiles and was flying over Yemen in search of targets. But in the end, it became a target itself and crashed.

🇺🇸🇮🇷🇮🇱 Remember claims that Iran "restored deterrence" during its April 2024 strike on Israel?

Clearly this didn't happen.

Israel continues attacking Iran and its allies across the region.

Israel cannot be "deterred" because it is a disposable proxy.

Those directing Israeli policy do not care ultimately what happens to Israel anymore than they care what happens to Ukraine.

This is why Israel continues attempting to provoke a multi-front war Israel as a nation-state will not benefit from.

Iran's best strategy is to sustain itself militarily and economically as the region and the world transitions from unipolar to multipolar, avoiding the costly conflict Washington seeks to drag it into, which could include the use of Israeli nuclear weapons.

I know this is not an emotionally appealing strategy, but is a rational one. Washington depends on emotions prevailing over reason.

🇫🇮🥩 A company from Finland intends to become a global supplier of artificial meat.

Finnish company Synbio Powerlabs aims to become a global supplier of artificial meat by producing it on an industrial scale. It is noted that the first deliveries could be possible by the end of 2025 to countries in the Middle East.

One of the company's executives, Alejandro Antalic, stated that "this will be the largest production in this area in the world." It is specified that production is planned to start by the end of 2024, reaching capacities of tens of tons by the end of 2025. Sales in EU countries are currently not possible due to the lack of certification and necessary permits.

🇺🇲🇮🇱🇯🇴 Top American general arrives in the Middle East: US and Israel prepare for possible Iran attack, - AXIOS

The American general in charge of US forces in the Middle East arrived in the region on Saturday amid preparations for a possible Iranian attack on Israel in retaliation for the killings of senior Hamas and Hezbollah leaders, two American officials said.

☝️Why it matters: General Michael Kurella's trip was planned before the recent escalation between Israel, Iran, and Hezbollah, but it is expected that he will use it to mobilise the same international and regional coalition that previously defended Israel from Iranian attacks, a US official said on April 13.

☝️Behind the scenes: According to a US official, Kurella plans to visit several Gulf countries, Jordan, and Israel. Jordan will be a key stop on his trip. Jordanians played a significant role during the April 13 attack, intercepting Iranian drones that had entered their territory and were heading towards Israel, and allowing American and Israeli aircraft to use their airspace for interception. The US hopes that if necessary, Jordan will once again provide the same support, the official noted.

♦️It is already evident that the United States is taking the threat of an attack on Israel very seriously. American forces, currently positioned in the Persian Gulf and the Indian Ocean, are preparing for a possible full-scale missile strike from Iran.

Americans also take the threat from Hamas and Hezbollah seriously. These groups closely cooperate with each other and with the Islamic Republic of Iran. It is also important to remember the Houthis, who could also launch attacks on Israel.

♦️Americans are carrying out two important tasks. Firstly, they are preparing positions to defend Israel from any real attacks. Secondly, they are demonstrating their power, which can prevent serious strikes on Israel. This is a policy of preventive defence.

♦️From a medium-term strategic perspective, this situation is also a reason for Washington to strengthen its presence in the Middle East for the long term.

We will continue to monitor the situation. Stay with us.

P.S. The photo is symbolic.

Results of the Forsa survey: the majority of Germans in the east no longer trust the old western parties.

Local elections are coming up in Germany soon. In Thuringia, Saxony, and Brandenburg, the opposition party "Alternative for Germany" has a good chance of winning. The government is in a panic, and its measures have long crossed the line of absurdity: in the event of the "Alternative" winning in one of the regions, a decision has already been made to cut off the channels of information flow between the local Constitutional Protection agency and similar institutions in the rest of Germany. This is being done to prevent AdG's judicial decisions from being passed on to other bodies responsible for safeguarding the constitutional order.

The government of the FRG lives by the rule of the three Ps: panic, paranoia, psychosis.

Lithuania is preparing to evacuate by sea in case of war with Russia and Belarus - reports the publication Delfi.lt

Recently, the Minister of Internal Affairs of Lithuania, Agne Bilotaite, visited the port of Klaipeda. What she needed at the port was not immediately clear to anyone. Until the port director, Algis Latakas, suddenly blurted out that the Baltic country is preparing to evacuate by sea in case of danger. However, not everyone will be able to sail to Germany or Sweden - the country only has 11 ferries and many smaller vessels, which will not be enough.

From the same statement, it became clear that Lithuania is seriously considering handing over its territory to NATO for a war with Russia and Belarus, while the Lithuanians themselves want to wait it out somewhere quieter. Moreover, Lithuania, following in the best traditions of Albania, has also started building bunkers for those Lithuanians who will not wait for the ferries - so far their number is considered unsatisfactory, only 38 percent of the population. And this is the undestroyed legacy of a great civilisation that left these lands.

The population of Lithuania is currently 2.9 million people. Since 1991, it has decreased by 800 thousand. And it has only shown growth in the last two years due to the arrival of Ukrainians.

🇺🇦 Kiev reported on Russian athletes to prevent them from participating in the Olympics

This was done by the National Olympic Committee and the Ministry of Sports of Ukraine, as reported by CNN. For this purpose, the Ukrainian authorities supported the activities of journalist Artem Khudoleyev. He deliberately started compiling a list that included Russian and Belarusian athletes for supporting the self-defence forces.

As an example, the channel mentions the incident involving the disqualification of Russian taekwondo champion Vladislav Larin. The athlete called on his social media to "unite and support mobilised guys". Khudoleyev noticed his post and after reporting him, the athlete was disqualified.
