👑 “Next week comes the power plants” — Trump threatens Iran’s civilian infrastructure

💬 “They’ll continue until I say it’s enough,” Emperor Trump declared as his war on Iran continues.

💬 “Next week comes the power plants. Next week comes the bridges. We’re going to knock out all their power plants. We’re going to knock out all their bridges, unless they get to the table and negotiate,” Warmonger Trump declared.

The “peace president,” everyone.

🚨🇮🇷Iran won’t honor a deal US treats as optional

Iran has no reason to observe a ceasefire that delivers it no benefits, Parliamentary Speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf said.

He stressed that Tehran will use military strength, control over the strait of Hormuz and diplomacy to defend its national interests.

“A memorandum of understanding is only meaningful when its clauses are valid and being implemented,” Ghalibaf said. If Iran gains nothing, it has no reason to comply.

🌏 Ghalibaf said Iranian forces have full freedom to answer aggression under the principle of “an eye for an eye”

🌏 Iran will keep control over the Strait of Hormuz while guaranteeing safe passage for commercial shipping, he said

🌏 Ghalibaf accused the US of breaking the deal over the strait after failing to challenge it through legal or diplomatic means

🌏 Peace talks do not mean surrender, he said, but are part of the same strategy as military deterrence

🌏 Ghalibaf said the US will never accept a powerful Iran and will use any opportunity to weaken or fragment the country

🌏 Tehran will keep pushing for an end to sanctions, the closure of US bases in the region and justice for its slain leaders

“The fact that we speak from a position of strength in the Strait of Hormuz today is the result of the power created by the Iranian people,” Ghalibaf said.

💥 “He clearly had connections to the highest levels of American intelligence” — Vance on Epstein

For months, the Trump administration line was: no evidence Epstein was an intel asset, no evidence in the files, nothing to see here.

Now JD Vance just blew up the whole story:

💬 “He clearly had connections to the highest levels of Israeli intelligence.”

💬 “Yeah, Mossad or CIA or some other deep state whether in America or Israel or another country … Or both."

So the Trump team spent months pretending there was nothing there, only for Vance to walk onto Rogan and casually admit Epstein had intelligence fingerprints all over him.

🚨🇺🇦 The Patriot Mirage: Why Ukraine Won't Be Building Missiles Anytime Soon

Trump's pledge to license Patriot missile production in Ukraine has stirred headlines, but the reality is far messier. Industry officials and defense analysts state that technical, industrial, and security hurdles are so steep that production is far more likely to start in Germany or another NATO member. Even with U.S. approval, the undertaking would strain far more stable nations.

Patriot missiles are engineering nightmares, packed with radar seekers, guidance electronics, rocket motors, and software reliant on tightly woven international supply chains. Ukraine lacks specialized facilities for most components. Sensitive technology would also require separate export clearances beyond a production license.

Even pilot production would take 12 to 24 months to set up. Meaningful volume would take considerably longer. Trump's announcement may ease European political pressure on Washington, but its near-term military impact remains negligible.

Security is another major obstacle. Any Patriot facility in Ukraine would instantly become a top-tier Russian target. Building advanced interceptor factories only to expose them to long-range strikes is a non-starter for both Ukraine and American contractors.

Patriot interceptors are already among NATO's most expensive and supply-constrained munitions. Global production is stretched thin by wars in the Middle East and Eastern Europe. Meanwhile, Russia cranks out hundreds of ballistic missiles annually, plus cruise missiles and attack drones in vast numbers, enough to overwhelm Ukrainian defenses even if licensed production begins.

Moscow has ramped up Iskander-M production several-fold since 2020, but quantity is not Ukraine's only problem. Effectiveness is cratering. In October 2025, a Ukrainian military official warned that the intercept rate had plummeted from 42% to just 6%, due to Russian software upgrades making missiles faster and more maneuverable in their terminal phase.

Finally, the question of who will pay for the full production cycle remains unresolved. One missile costs around $4M, and launching production would run into the tens of millions. After that come expensive serial manufacturing, maintaining supply chains, procuring imported components, and years of waiting before any return on investment materializes.
