The FT reports that Iran secretly purchased a Chinese satellite to monitor U.S. military bases in the Middle East.
According to documents released by the publication, the IRGC acquired the satellite in 2024 and received images directly as strikes were occurring. The Corps paid approximately 250 million yuan to gain control of the satellite system.

@atranscendedman Really unfortunate they only tested TNFa, IL6, ILb,crp - that’s not enough to determine no inflammatory markers in peripheral blood. Very rudimentary protocol, I would not read into this too much

Nearly 700,000 people rely on our Ukraine war reporting across platforms, reaching over 800 million impressions per year. This reporting has no sponsors, no corporate backing, and no political funding. It exists because readers chose to support it.
For nearly four years, we’ve delivered real-time, verified updates, tracked developments, and cut through misinformation. Reader support directly funds verification tools, source networks, and the expansion of our team to increase speed, accuracy, coverage and quality of content.
Reach alone does not sustain independent reporting. It survives because individuals decide it is worth supporting.
If our work has helped you stay informed, consider contributing. Even small monthly support makes a meaningful difference and helps secure this work long-term.

Zelensky declared Ukraine has survived its hardest winter of the war, repelling mass strikes including over 700 missiles of various types and hundreds of Shaheds, while preserving its energy system. Russia opened the winter on December 6 with one of its largest strikes, targeting more than 700 targets with over 50 missiles. Zelensky thanked energy workers, military air defense units, and Ukrainian businesses for their resilience. #Ukraine
Israel leading military commentator, Amos Harel, writes today that Israel military (mostly airforce, intel and home command) finished its preparations for a possible U.S. strike and an Iranian retaliation against Israel. The assessment in Israel is that Trump will decide to execute a massive strike against #Iran "https://t.co/uLFd8988WS
@atranscendedman How do you reset dysfunctional macrophages?? Deal with the chronic inflammation and senescence and hope they eventually come back to baseline?

Our main collection for the first Сadex rifle in 375 caliber today significantly advanced by the efforts of Ukrainians and friends of Ukraine!!
We already have 49% of the necessary $13,000, so that the miracle of doubling rifles from our sponsor Mr. Stephan happens!!
Thank you all very much, and especially @GMClarke21, who supported #TeamYuri and Brynchyk's initiative and is receiving the first set as a gift. ⬇️
But the story is that our main fundraising for the rifle did not cancel other urgent needs of the snipers, and we need to buy 2 scopes for the SOF:
- ZCO 5-27x56 (36 mm) MIL FFP illum. MPCT3X CCW with a large number of corrections and
- Mark 5 Leupold 35x.⬇️
We have 5000 euros, we are missing 3000 euros and we really need it.
Help us find a sponsor, super cool guys will be very happy, alive and working. We do not need to buy them rifles, only scopes!!
Please help spread the word and of course any of your donations to the main fundraising will help a lot!!

A long thread on the war and the current situation. Although the worst-case scenarios didn’t materialize in 2024, it was the most difficult period since spring 2022. There were positive developments, and bright spots, but the current trajectory is negative. 1/
Gallup, the famous analytics firm known for its public opinion polls, recently released a study titled "Half of Ukrainians Want Quick, Negotiated End to War." The data might sound controversial, with many citing the headline without delving deeper into the survey. 🧵Thread:
Some quick thoughts on why large parts of the mainstream media keep slipping up on Gaza/Israel (and why it was the same at times with Covid):
The main reason is a failure to keep pace with modern news gathering techniques, but there’s more.
