🇮🇷🇺🇸 If it wasn't for Iran having access to satellite data, you'd never know the extent of their attacks on U.S bases in the Gulf
They've hit multiple hangars housing U.S fighter jets, Reaper drones and helicopters, and more worryingly for Trump, troop barracks at several bases.

BREAKING: The United States has requested a new temporary ceasefire with Iran and is seeking a return to the collapsed and suspended Memorandum of Understanding, with discussions also expected to include Yemen and Trump seeking to make the Houthis part of it, per sources.
Iran is highly unlikely to accept the US offer, having comprehensively rejected all negotiations throughout this week and confirmed it won’t start negotiations under any circumstances, while Trump simultaneously announced the US is about to carry out a ‘massive attack’ on Iran ‘bigger than any attack ever carried out before.‘
BREAKING: Trump has cancelled plans to sharply escalate the war on Iran over concerns that Iranian attacks could dangerously drain the Pentagon's already diminished stockpile of Patriot antimissile interceptors and other air defense munitions in the Middle East close to zero, per NYT.
The Pentagon has used more than 1,200 Patriot interceptors in the war at more than $4M each, with cheap Iranian drones and ballistic missiles depleting the US inventory. Joint Chiefs Chairman Gen. Dan Caine privately cautioned that resuming major combat operations would fully deplete interceptors available to US Central Command.
A senior US official adds that continued strikes have had "the opposite effect of what is intended, keeping Iran cohesive and allowing Iranian leaders to focus attention on an external threat."

On behalf of the Government of the Islamic Republic of Iran and myself, i condemn the heinous terrorist act on a security checkpost in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province which lead to the martyrdom of 14 security forces.
I express my heartfelt and sincere condolences to the Government and people of Pakistan, especially to the bereaved families who lost loved ones. My sincere prays for the safe and speedy recovery of the injured.
Chinese FM Wang Yi met with Pakistan’s Deputy PM & FM Mohammad Ishaq Dar in Kyrgyzstan.
#China and #Pakistan should actively advance exchanges at all levels and cooperation across various fields, and accelerate the building of an even closer China-Pakistan community with a shared future.
China highly appreciates Pakistan’s key role in facilitating the memorandum of understanding reached between the US and Iran. China will continue to firmly support Pakistan in its efforts to mediate, promote the return of all parties to dialogue and negotiations, and achieve a lasting ceasefire.

British Prime Minister Mr Keir Starmer, who refused to participate in the US-Israeli war against Iran, was suddenly and suspiciously accused of inefficiency and resigned under pressure.
Another person from the same party assumed office as Prime Minister and he immediately placed the bases at the disposal of the US military recalling UK diplomats from Iran.
Isn't it suspicious? !! 🤔
@Sophia_MonroeX This looks staged. Atleast he can ask others to not shut the door once they open until he enters, if there was a genuine door issue as the struggling guy should be thinking
🇵🇰 Pakistan’s PM and army chief just walked the floor of a big defense expo in Islamabad looking at the brand new stuff:
-A training plane that can also fire laser-guided missiles
-A brand-new homegrown drone called the Blaze 400
-A fast naval drone that can patrol hundreds of miles and pack a remote weapon station
-Pakistan’s first underwater drone
-And the latest version of the Shahpar, which can stay in the air for 20 hours and carry weapons
Looks like Islamabad is done relying on anyone else’s hardware.

An excellent visit of the Honourable Anita Anand, Minister of Foreign Affairs to #Pakistan . On continue a renforcer nos relations commerciales et bilatérales avec cette étape importante. 🇨🇦🇵🇰
Pakistan's role in West Asia will strengthen further. From facilitator to mediator to regional player to reliable security provider to GCC nations. It is the only nation which can replace the US security umbrella for the littoral GCC nations. Also fits the bill of Iran seeking an Islamic Framework to replace the US Framework.
My video on this will be online by today (Tuesday) evening!
