Moscow warns Moldova and Ukraine that an attack on Transnistria will be considered an attack on Russia.

Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Russian Federation, Mikhail Galuzin: "The Russian Federation guarantees reliable protection to its citizens and compatriots in Transnistria. No one should have the slightest doubt that, if the situation escalates, we will respond decisively and without delay."

@AlArabiya_Eng @citrinowicz A load of contradictory BS...Israel has military capabilities to strike Iran, at the same time you say Israel can't strike Iran without the support of America, Gulf States etc....sp which is which?

‼️ IRGC spokesman Haj Mohammadi released their battle damage assessment for the past two weeks of fighting:

▫️ 17 MQ-9 drones, including 8 newly delivered and as yet unused units

▫️ 11 U.S. combat aircraft and helicopters destroyed on the ground at US bases across the region:

🔹 1 F-15 fighter jet inside a hardened shelter

🔹 1 P-8 patrol aircraft

🔹 1 C-17 cargo aircraft

🔹 8 aerial refueling aircraft

This impressive tally provides a persuasive explanation for why the US has withdrawn almost all its aircraft from its various bases in the Persian Gulf region.

Marco Rubio discovers the value of the UN and international law. However, international law is about mutual constraints as each state accepts restraints on itself and in return gets reciprocity.

The post-Cold War era was not good for international law as an unbalanced hegemon will not constrain itself. After the Cold War, the US and NATO pushed ideas like "democracy promotion", "humanitarian interventionism", "global war on terror" etc. The idea of these rules were consistent with that of a hegemonic rule - no constraints on the hegemon vs constraints for others, sovereignty for the hegemon and limited sovereignty for the rest.

Now that a multipolar balance of power asserts itself, the former hegemon must accept the principle of mutual constraints and sovereign equality. The US continously attacks other countries and it kidnaps, assassinates, and topples other world leaders. If it wants others to follow international law, then it must also accept to be constrained by international law. The hegemonic era is over.

@Andries463685 @centralnewsza You do know that your beloved USA owes Japan, China, UAE, Saudi Arabia etc shit load of money? But because it's a Western Country, to you they're allowed to 'beg' for money from other countries, no problem...the hypocrisy is astounding.

I hate to be the bearer of bad news but if infrastructure like this 👇 gets blown up, as of this moment it will take at least a decade to recover from this war - and the truth is that the world's energy picture is probably changed forever.

This single facility 👇produced roughly 20% of global LNG supply (https://t.co/76QERytREH) and, as of 2011, had taken $70 billion to build (https://t.co/iZvv2SvxBe).

What makes this even worse is that Iran's strike on this was retaliation after Israel attacked their South Pars gas field which draws from the same natural gas reservoir, which is the world's largest by far (9,700 km² - about the size of Qatar itself).

Heck, on the list of the 25 largest natural gas fields (https://t.co/m5TmQ2Zkc8) this single reservoir holds roughly 40% of their combined recoverable reserves - and is nearly 6 times bigger than the 2nd biggest field in the world. And, unlike many of the others on the list, it's only at 10% depletion (meaning 90% of the gas is still there).

Which means that, probably for many years, a huge share of the gas from the world's largest reservoir simply won't be extractable, as infrastructure on both sides - Qatar's and Iran's - has now been blown up.

From a global energy supply perspective, we're deep into worst-case scenario territory.

[Iran in Japan/ 駐日イラン大使館 @IraninJapan]

For years, Iran faced American disruptions to its oil exports both within the region and beyond. Yet, Iran responded with self-restraint and played a key role in guaranteeing the free flow of energy and trade through the Strait of Hormuz. Now that American and Israeli aggressors have turned the entire region—including the Strait—into a war zone, Iran must defend itself against military aggression, regardless of its origin. The Trump-Netanyahu war of aggression has been a highly consequential piece of adventurism lacking in foresight, the cost of which is being borne by many, including U.S. allies. And he expects them to foot an even larger bill.

[Will Schryver @imetatronink]

Over the course of a year and a half, two consecutive US carrier strike groups, led by the USS Brave Sir Robin (CVN-69) and the USS Trembling Puppy (CVN-75) attempted to break the selective blockade of the Bab-el-Mandeb imposed by the Houthi warriors of Yemen.

It became — by their own admission — the US Navy's most intense battle since WW2.

And the most humiliating strategic defeat.

Both carriers were literally chased into the northern Red Sea to evade Yemeni missiles and drones. They never even sniffed the Bab-el-Mandeb.

They never even moved further south than Jeddah.

The Brave Sir Robin and its destroyers, while fighting off a particularly heavy Houthi salvo, soon exhausted their magazines, and promptly made a beeline back to Norfolk.

The Trembling Puppy was then similarly traumatized for several months. They lost 3 F/A-18s — to "accidents" and "friendly fire", they claimed, just as recent losses of F-15Es have been explained away.

The Trembling Puppy also managed to crash into a cargo ship, and inflicted gazillions of dollars of damage (according to the contractor's estimate).

Like the Brave Sir Robin had done before them, the Trembling Puppy consistently remained ~1000 km away, exhausted its magazines, and then skedaddled back to Norfolk with its tail between its legs.

Amazingly, the same nincompoop who skippered the Brave Sir Robin (Captain Christopher "Chowdah" Hill - aka "Captain Soggy Cookie") was inexplicably called upon (after the collision at sea incident) to relieve the disgraced skipper of the Trembling Puppy.

"Chowdah" famously presided over the "dump a fighter overboard" debacle, when the Trembling Puppy veered a bit too sharply while evading a Yemeni missile attack.

In any case, the summary point is that the mighty United States Navy spent a year and a half running for its life while vainly attempting to disarm and subdue the Houthi warriors, who reign over a small kingdom in the northwestern quadrant of lowly Yemen.

Yes, Yemen: a country whose navy consists of a handful of speed boats and surface drones.

THIS IS WHY THE US NAVY HAS *ZERO* INTEREST IN CONFRONTING THE FIREPOWER THE IRANIANS CAN BRING TO BEAR IF YOU VENTURE INTO THEIR RANGE.

Anyone who is not cognizant of this reality has simply not been paying attention to developments over the course of the past several years.

Here is the simple truth: if the US Navy (or any other navy) attempts to defeat the Iranian selective blockade of the Strait of Hormuz, they will be decisively thwarted.

[Marwa Osman || مروة عثمان @Marwa__Osman]

Iran is making histoy.

Three straight hours of missile fire raining down on Israel. At the same time, the Pentagon quietly confirms something it almost never admits: 141 American soldiers in the Persian Gulf wounded, many critically, and nine already dead.
This comes just hours after Donald Trump went on television telling the world the war was basically over.
Tehran's answer the very next dawn? The heaviest missile barrage of the entire war.

Not just any missiles either... the Khorramshahr, carrying a one-ton warhead.
For thirteen days the narrative coming out of Tel Aviv and Washington was the same: Iran is running out of missiles.
The Israeli war minister bragged about the largest air bombardment in Israel's history.
Marco Rubio stood in front of cameras practically announcing Iran's surrender.

Well… here's what that "surrender" looks like:
Cluster warheads spreading submunitions over ten kilometers, ripping settlers out of their sleep and driving them into bomb shelters before sunrise.
Now think about the math here.
A country whose air defense systems date back decades…
going head-to-head with the most technologically advanced military machine in the Middle East, backed by the largest military empire in human history: the United States.
A country that just lost its long-time leader.
A country whose top nuclear scientists have been assassinated.
A country facing a coalition that thought it could erase it within days.
And yet after thirteen days of nonstop war… Iran is still firing. Still standing. Still unveiling weapons even American intelligence apparently didn't know existed.

Trump's minions said Iran's missiles were finished. Missiles keep falling.

They said the missile cities were destroyed. The skies keep lighting up.

They said the regime would collapse after assassinating Imam Sayyed Ali Khamenei. Instead Iran doubles the missiles barrage, from thirty minutes to three continuous hours. To the point where even Washington is now clearly hiding the true scale of its casualties. Because if history teaches us anything, it's that the U.S. military only tells the public what it absolutely has to.

And Israeli war media?
As always, the losses around strategic sites simply disappear from the narrative.

But what fascinates me is not the weapons. It's the psychology of resistance.

The moment when every global power tells you the wave is too strong and you should bow your head… and instead you rise from the rubble exactly where everyone thought you had already fallen.
That's what Iran is doing right now.

Every collaborate voice in the world said surrender equals survival. Lay down your weapons.
You cannot fight THAAD or Patriots or Tomahawks or F-35s.

And yet here we are.
A country under siege telling the entire geopolitical order something very simple:
If you wage total war on us, the entire region will burn with us.

Oil routes, shipping lanes and energy security... none of it remains safe.
That is what a civilization thousands of years old looks like when it refuses to kneel.
You see, Iran is not a state born from colonial blueprints like its neighbours.
It is a civilization that turned decades of sanctions into scientific infrastructure and built a deterrence network capable of striking in every direction.
And because of that, the so-called "New Middle East" project has hit a brick wall.

And the model Washington sells to the region? It only survives through fear.

The "only democracy in the middle east" (where you get a 5 years sentence if you film any destruction due to Iranian or Hezbollah rockets) that once bragged it could win every war alone had to bring America in just to face Iran.
And in doing so, it may have accidentally handed Tehran the most powerful narrative it has ever had:
We stood alone against the combined assault of the most powerful empire on Earth… and we did not collapse. On the contrary, look at our enemy suffer.

Iran is making history!

[MENA Unleashed @MENAUnleashed]

Iran's Air Base Campaign: Why US Strikes on Iran Are Already Fading? Iran cannot match the US or Israel plane for plane. It does not need to. What it is doing instead is methodically degrading the infrastructure that makes sustained US air strikes possible. The result is a US air campaign that looks overwhelming today but will be severely constrained within 7-14 days. Most observers underestimate this because they focus on aircraft losses rather than the logistics chain that keeps those aircraft flying.

What Iran Has Hit (Confirmed Damage)

Iran has struck every major US regional land base involved in Operation Epic Fury support or staging:

- Al Udeid (Qatar): Primary CENTCOM air operations centre. Satellite comms terminals destroyed, runway damage, 3 US airmen killed.
- Al Dhafra (UAE): F-35/F-16 hub. Hangars hit, ISR aircraft grounded.
- Fifth Fleet HQ / NSA Bahrain: Command node. Roof collapses, comms blackout.
- Ali Al Salem & Camp Arifjan (Kuwait): Refuelling and logistics. Terminal fires, 2 US killed.
- Erbil (Iraq): Drone hub. US consulate damaged, MQ-9 operations suspended.

Israel Bases Hit
Nevatim, Hatzerim, Ramon. F-35 losses confirmed (3 aircraft), runway craters, maintenance facilities burning. Israeli sortie rate down 60 percent.

New Hits: Cyprus & Jordan
- RAF Akrotiri (Cyprus): RC-135 Rivet Joint intel planes staged here after Al Udeid. Drone strike Sunday, runway damage, 2 drones intercepted Monday.
- Muwaffaq Salti (Jordan): F-35s, F-15Es, A-10s, tankers. Multiple missile hits, THAAD battery engaged.

What Iran Claims (Lincoln Hit)
IRGC says four ballistic missiles struck USS Abraham Lincoln. CENTCOM denies. Lincoln continues ops but repositioned further east. Eisenhower unconfirmed but operating at max range.

What Remains Untouched
- Diego Garcia: B-2 bombers only. Out of range.
- US Carriers: Lincoln/Eisenhower in Arabian Sea. Vulnerable but operational.
- UK Lakenheath/Fairford: F-22s staged. UK denies offensive use.

What This Means for US Air Power

Iran hit the sustainment layer, not the fighters themselves. No land base is safe for staging heavy jets within 1,000 miles of Iran. Refuelling tankers cannot loiter over Gulf. ISR coverage degraded 70 percent. Satellite relays down.

Timeline of Constraint
- Now: Sortie rate 50 percent of peak. Carriers carry load.
- 7 Days: Land bases fully defensive. Carrier ops at max range (limited ordnance). Drones/B-2s only for high value targets.
- 14 Days: Carriers rotate or risk saturation. No safe tanker orbits. Air campaign becomes sporadic.

Iran's Airspace Recovery
Iran regains control not by matching F-35s but by denying US the forward infrastructure. S-300/400 batteries reload. Fighter patrols resume. Airspace contested, not denied. Enough to protect regime survival.

US retains deep strike capability but loses sustained suppression. Iran buys time, survives the storm. Conventional air dominance erodes to parity.
