Statement from Bahrain saying Iran launched drones at it early today (this may have been part of the Iranian response to the US strikes yesterday, after which the Iranian Revolutionary Guard said it attacked US deployment points in the region)

Bahrain's Foreign Ministry confirmed that a "number of Iranian drones" targeted the country at dawn today, calling it a blatant violation of sovereignty and a flagrant threat to the security of citizens and residents.
The IRGC issued a parallel statement, via IRNA, claiming it struck multiple locations belonging to "the U.S. terrorist army in the region."
No specific targets were named.
U.S. and Bahraini officials have offered no meaningful damage assessment.
Open-source imagery from the NSA Bahrain area in Manama shows a significant fire and smoke plume at or adjacent to the 5th Fleet headquarters in Juffair.
On Friday 26 June, Iran struck the Singapore-flagged cargo ship M/V Ever Lovely in the Strait of Hormuz.
The U.S. responded overnight 26-27 June with strikes on Iranian missile and drone storage sites and coastal radar.
Today's drone attack on Bahrain is Iran's next move in that escalation loop.
All of this is occurring inside a U.S.-Iran memorandum of understanding that both sides are simultaneously claiming the other is violating.
What is absent from Pentagon reporting is a formal battle damage assessment, a statement on potential U.S. casualties, and any acknowledgment from the White House or CENTCOM that Iran successfully struck a U.S. military installation in the capital of a Gulf partner state.

Moscow placed an air defense position on a 155-meter residential tower in Chertanovo, putting residents directly under a military system meant to intercept low-flying drones. The Kremlin is deliberately embedding air defenses into civilian areas, turning homes into military sites. #Russia
What the BBC did. They played clips of Trump out of chronological order. He complained. They apologised. That should have been it. But he sued them for $10 billion.
So the BBC is going to fully litigate all of Trump's actions surrounding the attack on the Capitol.
Excellent.
Venezuela’s earthquake death toll has risen to 1,430, up 55% from a day earlier, as rescuers continue searching for tens of thousands of people still reported missing.
‼️ Russian soldier Alexander Lunin, who complained to Putin about mass torture and the dismissal of Russian soldiers by their commanders and threatened him with a mutiny in the army, has been arrested.
Russian forces are employing a new tactic of landing fiber optic cable FPVs on Ukrainian UGVs and striking Ukrainian soldiers when the UGV reaches its destination.

SpaceX was worth 2.5 trillion dollars last week. That number was never real.
Only 5 percent of the company could trade. More than 95 percent was locked, and for almost a week there were no options, so no one could short it. With only buyers in the market, it ran to 225 and became the fourth-largest company on Earth.
Then options launched, a 20 billion dollar bond filing gave bears their story, and the one-sided price round-tripped to where it opened.
Nothing broke at SpaceX. The market was just finally allowed to disagree. The real price waits for December, when more than half the company can sell.
It looks like the FSB killed Lunin. 🤷♂️ Didn’t they learn out of Prigozhin‘s dead? They kill you when you accept an invite from Putin.
Simple. Don’t negotiate, get a big amount of soldiers and start marching towards Moscow. Nobody will stop them. 🤷♂️
Earlier today, an unidentified projectile struck a tanker in the Strait of Hormuz, causing damage to the bridge. All crew members are safe and no environmental damage has been reported.
