The U.K. has no permanent land-based system to intercept high-altitude ballistic missiles, Sky News reports, as Iran demonstrates potential range of 4000 km in launches targeting the U.K. base (used by the U.S. military) at Diego Garcia in the Indian Ocean.

🚨 Jiang Xueqin: Israel is planning controlled demolition of Al-Aqsa to ignite holy war

The Chinese academic who correctly predicted both Trump's win and war with Iran now warns: Israel is tunneling beneath the Al-Aqsa Mosque to set up a controlled demolition, and then they will blame it on an Iranian missile.

⚔️ Their goal is to destroy Islam's holiest site, spark a war between Arabs and Persians, and build the Third Temple.

"You need the building of the Third Temple, which could actually happen during this war. If you observe geopolitical events, these events are happening," he told Tucker Carlson.

🚨 Iran to Trump: Hit our energy — the entire region will go dark

The Khatam al-Anbiya Central HQ spokesperson responded to Trump's threats against Iran's power plants:

"If Iran's fuel and energy infrastructure is attacked, we will target all energy infrastructure, information technology systems, and desalination facilities belonging to the US and Israel in the region."

Earlier, Trump said the US would start attacking Iranian energy infrastructure if Iran did not open the Strait of Hormuz within 48 hours.

✡️ Israeli settler invokes biblical justification for genocide

The Holy Torah grants permission to expel every single gentile who opposes the notion of a Greater Israel, claims a settler on Israeli TV.

💬 “We will dispossess and expel,” he rants, “because there is no way for us to live here in the land of Israel if we don’t expel them from here.”

JFK & ISRAEL'S DIMONA:
THE REAL REASON FOR JFK'S ASSASSINATION?

President John F. Kennedy was deeply concerned about Israel's nuclear program and the Dimona reactor, which was constructed with French assistance starting in 1958. The U.S. government, including Kennedy, viewed the reactor as potentially capable of producing weapons-grade plutonium, with intelligence estimates suggesting it could produce enough for one or two nuclear weapons per year by the mid-1960s.

Kennedy's concerns intensified after the reactor's existence was confirmed shortly before he took office in January 1961, and he made the issue a priority early in his presidency.

Kennedy sought to ensure that the Dimona facility was used solely for peaceful purposes and insisted on regular U.S. inspections to verify this. In April 1963, he formally demanded that Israel allow bi-annual American visits to Dimona, warning that U.S. support for Israel could be "seriously jeopardized" if reliable information on the facility's activities could not be obtained.

This demand was unprecedented, as the U.S. had not been involved in building Dimona, and no international law had been violated. Kennedy's approach was described as a near ultimatum, reflecting his determination to prevent nuclear proliferation in the Middle East.

The Israeli leadership, including Prime Ministers David Ben-Gurion and Levi Eshkol, resisted these demands. Ben-Gurion initially evaded a direct confrontation, attempting to divert attention from the issue. Eshkol, who succeeded Ben-Gurion, took seven weeks to respond, engaging in tense internal consultations before reluctantly agreeing to the inspections. Despite this, the inspections were widely seen as a charade, with U.S. officials acknowledging they were not rigorously conducted and were designed more to maintain appearances than to uncover the truth. The first inspection in 1961, for example, was arranged outside regular governmental channels and involved a guided tour that found no evidence of weapons-related activity, despite U.S. intelligence believing Israel was developing nuclear weapons.

Kennedy's efforts were part of a broader concern about nuclear proliferation, which he viewed as a major challenge to American power and global stability.

The issue was eventually resolved through Kennedy's assassination, with the U.S. accepting inspections that were largely symbolic, allowing Israel to proceed with its nuclear program. This arrangement was agreed by President Lyndon Johnson, who, unlike Kennedy, preferred compromise over confrontation and effectively accepted Israel's nuclear capability.
