IRGC ground forces will shift from a provincial-based defense to a brigade-centric, agile model to counter hybrid threats. Digital command systems will enable real-time battlefield coordination, with artificial intelligence integrated into operations. A modernized force for a new era of warfare. 🇮🇷🛡️💻⚡️🤖🔥

🇷🇺BUCKLE UP: Russia has quietly sent one of its most advanced airborne command posts straight into Tehran.

Just days ago, a Tu-214PU - a specialized Russian command and control aircraft landed in Iran on July 13, 2026. It is currently stationed at Imam Khomeini International Airport (IKA) and remains there as of today.

The aircraft is designed to coordinate military operations, diplomatic efforts, and intelligence sharing directly between Russian and Iranian leadership.

While it enhances Iran’s command and communication capabilities, its real value is political: it visibly reinforces the Russia-Iran alliance without Russia having to send troops or fighter jets into combat. A strategic show of solidarity that speaks louder than words.

[Scharo Bajalan @ScharoBajalan]

Across Rojhelat (eastern Kurdistan, western Iran) the clashes between the Iranian regime and Kurdish factions continue on its second day.

The tensions are rising steadily and we are expecting an escalation.

Recent events:
- The PJAK announces that 4 of its members have been martyred during clashes on July 27
- 2 IRGC members (jashes) have been assassinated by a Kurdish faction in Paveh
- Deployment of Heavy military equipment and other Iranian assets are being observed across various locations; locals have reported that Arabic speaking IRGC members have been deployed

The clashes are no longer concentrated on a singular location in Rojhelat but have spread towards several region - multiple Kurdish factions are now involved in these clashes within their respective area of influence.

🇮🇷🇰🇼 Kuwait just called Iran's overnight strikes on its Ali Al Salem Base a "flagrant violation of its sovereignty" and stated Kuwait “reserves its full right to take all necessary measures to preserve its security."

The attacks came after the U.S. targeted Iranian air defence facilities in southern Iran, with Iran claiming it was targeting U.S. forces and that its responses would be harsher with each additional ceasefire breach.

Ali Al Salem Base has been attacked several times during the Iran war due to it hosting U.S forces that have carried out strikes on Iran.

Hezbollah UAV Launch Tunnel Discovered Beneath Civilian Homes in Southern Lebanon

A Hezbollah UAV launch tunnel, approximately 200 meters long and equipped with four launch shafts, was discovered several days ago beneath civilian homes in the village of Majdal Zoun in the western sector of southern Lebanon, about 8 kilometers from the Israeli border.

Among the items found inside the tunnel were approximately 50 loitering munitions, which we assess to be *Ababil-T* drones, with a range of up to 120 kilometers and the capability to carry tens of kilograms of explosives.

Hezbollah is waiting for the opportunity to return to southern Lebanon in order to rebuild its military terrorist infrastructure and once again threaten Israel.
