Handala claims responsibility for Tel Aviv car bombing, says senior Mossad influence warfare official was targeted
——
Hacktivist group Handala claimed responsibility for a car bombing in Tel Aviv on 4 June, alleging that the operation eliminated "one of the senior managers of Mossad's New Influence Unit (Iran Desk)" after "months of surveillance, pursuit operations, and close monitoring."
In a statement, the group said the official was killed when "a bomb planted in his personal vehicle exploded" on Highway 20 (Ayalon Highway).
Handala described the attack as a response to Israeli operations against Iran, adding: "This is the fate of criminals. Even the regime's most security-protected individuals are not safe in their usurped homes."
The group also challenged Israeli authorities, asking: "Will the security services of the Zionist regime dare to tell the truth, or will they continue to deny it?"
Israeli authorities have not confirmed the claim. Meanwhile, Israeli media reports have presented conflicting accounts regarding the identity of the victim. Initial reports said a man had been killed in the explosion, while later reports cited by Israeli outlets, including The Times of Israel, said investigators were examining the possibility that the victim was actually a woman.
Israeli police said the incident remains under investigation and described the suspected background as "criminal."
Handala's allegations regarding the victim's identity and affiliation have not been independently verified.

🔥 “THERE’S ONLY ONE WAY FORWARD — A NUCLEAR WEAPON.”
Col. Douglas Macgregor (@DougAMacgregor) issues his starkest warning: U.S. strategy in the Iran war is rapidly approaching a catastrophic threshold. As the U.S. continues to "ratchet up the attack," the pressure to prove resolve could lead officials to contemplate the unthinkable.
“You have to attack more targets… kill more people… and eventually you discover there’s only one way forward and that’s a nuclear weapon.”
Macgregor is exposing the catastrophic logic now driving U.S. strategy. He stresses that even approaching nuclear use would have “extremely profound” global consequences — far beyond anything Washington is prepared for.
Contrasting this with the stability of the Indian subcontinent, Macgregor notes that nuclear states like Pakistan have historically treated their arsenals as a "necessary deterrent to prevent a war of extermination," rather than a tool for aggression.
This clip lays bare the dangerous escalation path unfolding right now — and why the next decision could reshape the entire Middle East conflict.

⚡️BREAKING
Ghalibaf outlined Iran's new Deterrence Policy:
"The recent war against Iran marks the beginning of a new era of stronger deterrence
The end of "empty threats" against Iran
The end of direct attacks against Iran, and the realization that any attack on Iran will now result in a wide-scale retaliation"
🇺🇦🇷🇺 Ukraine just droned a Russian warship inside a dry dock in Kronstadt.
Kronstadt. As in 30km from Saint Petersburg. As in deep inside Russia.
The radar collapsed onto the superstructure. The mast fell over. The ship is cooked.
“The war will last for a couple of decades. We need to learn to live with it.”
A powerful speech by the legendary intelligence officer and professional analyst Andrey Bezrukov at the St. Petersburg International Economic Forum. It resonates with what I usually say in response to the question: "When will all this end?" I reply: "Accept that war is our new normal."
Key theses - in quotes.
🔻 New type of war
"We are in a new war. Since it's pointless to seize territory anymore... this is a war of attrition and subversion." "Leaders, military, civilians, scientists" and "critical infrastructure on which the country depends" are being targeted. "This is the war we need to prepare for. It's happening, and it will continue."
🔻 West's strategy of 'boiling the frog'
"The West's strategy is very simple: to avoid a nuclear clash with us, from which they would emerge as losers. And so they need to 'boil the frog slowly' - gradually escalate tensions." "We're seeing this today. And they won't stop, because they have nowhere to retreat to. We're an existential threat to them."
🔻 First 'hill' of world war
"We're currently on the first hill of world war. There will be two hills, as in the First and Second World Wars... The rules of the game will be born after the next clash. It's likely to happen in Asia." What happened in Iran, he says, "proves that the hegemon is no longer the hegemon."
🔻 Strike on nuclear forces
The enemy's main task is to "avoid the nuclear threshold... and neutralize our nuclear forces": either by building a system in space to "prevent anything from taking off", or "like in Operation 'Spider Web', planting it here through their agents and striking our nuclear forces at a certain moment."
🔻 Destabilization and strike on infrastructure
"The plan is to overwhelm our decision-making system with complex attacks from all directions - ideological, physical, military." Already today, "a drone can fly into any region via Starlink and land in a precise location... Unfortunately, we weren't ready for it."
🔻 Threat of biowar
"All those labs around us... were making weapons of the future." Technology allows "an individual on individual equipment to create viruses that... could wipe us all out."
🔻 What to do
"We must admit that for the next... couple of decades we will be at war... We will have two generations that can practically be considered at war." The economy needs to be built in such a way that it "not only fulfills the task of development, but also the task of defense": deepen and protect critical infrastructure, create a "headquarters" for management, invest in protection against bioterrorism, and merge the army and society.
🔻 'Stop being good'
"We need to stop being good. We're too good for our enemies... They don't fear us because many red lines remain on paper." At the same time, Western Europe is dependent on imported gas, and "exploding a gas tanker is equivalent to a small nuclear explosion." The expert's conclusion: the country needs an "image of the future."

Putin: Any agreement on settling the conflict in Ukraine must be signed with legitimate authorities, adding that Zelensky’s legitimacy is a matter for legal assessment.
In this never-before-seen exchange from March 2024, Sebastian Gorka denounced Tulsi Gabbard "an insane conspiracy theorist," "a lunatic" and "a dangerous woman."
He cited her questioning of the official narrative justifying US bombings of Syria as the source of his resentment.
At the time, Gorka had a show on Salem Media, which has since become a federally registered Israeli foreign agent.
This March, when Joe Kent quit as Director of National Counterterrorism Center, Gorka left him a voicemail calling him an "utter disgrace to the uniform you once work" (though Gorka never served in US uniform).
Gorka immediatley began angling to replace Kent at the NCTC.
This May, Gabbard resigned as ODNI, citing her husband's health issues.
Gorka announced that he was praying for her husband and praised Gabbard's service. But multiple reports stated that Gabbard had been pushed out of her job, and there's little reason to believe Gorka's view of her as "a dangerous woman" had ever changed.
It's wild to watch MAGA now sound exactly like Rachel Maddow and Adam Schiff when talking about RUSSIA.
Russian civilization has produced remarkable works of literature, science, religion, architecture, politics. It's fascinating to visit. Talking to Russians is not sinister.
