BREAKING: The US Navy has completely withdrawn its warships from the blockade line around Iran after Iran’s first operational use of the advanced Qasem Basir “carrier killer” anti-ship ballistic missile, with satellite imagery showing no US carriers or destroyers in the Gulf of Oman or Arabian Sea since early September, per open-source intelligence and Sentinel-2 data.
The Qasem Basir has a declared range of roughly 1,200 kilometers — enough to cover nearly the entire Gulf of Oman and the US fleet’s previous positions — and is reportedly equipped with electro-optical and thermal imaging seekers designed to track naval targets. SNSC Secretary Mohsen Rezaei said the missile “created hell for the Americans,” while CENTCOM acknowledged US vessels came under attack by hostile missiles but said they were defeated without damage.
Satellite imagery shows the USS George Washington, USS George H.W. Bush, USS Tripoli and Arleigh Burke-class destroyers are no longer visible in the designated blockade zone, with the line reportedly pushed beyond the missile’s range. The USS Gerald R. Ford has also left the Middle East after a ten-month deployment, leaving the US with two carriers in the region as CENTCOM prepares “short and strong” strike options against Iran.
The blockade remains in place on paper, but the warships enforcing it have reportedly moved beyond the range of Iran’s anti-ship missiles.
A Japanese nurse who volunteered in Gaza hospitals held a press conference after returning to Japan.
"What did the people of Gaza do wrong? Isn't the burden of life the same for everyone? This world has never been fair."
"The whole world is attacking them, and they have no rights as individuals... You occupy their land and kill them."
"Maybe these words will never reach the world, or they will be ignored... The Palestinian people are fighting for their existence."
"I will try to make the voices of the people of Gaza heard by the world..."
🇺🇦 A German reporter asked Kiev Mayor Vitali Klitschko why his own children aren’t fighting in Ukraine.
Klitschko responded:
“My children have never lived in Ukraine. They were born in America and studied in Europe or America.”
When the reporter pressed him further, saying he was avoiding the question, Klitschko insisted he had already answered regarding his own children.
As ordinary Ukrainian families continue to send their sons to the front, children of the elites avoid service.
Fighting has intensified between Ethiopia’s military and a new rebel alliance in Tigray, after the Tigray People’s Liberation Front announced a ‘full-blown war’ against the government.
🇺🇦💰 140 MILLIONS DE DOLLARS DANS DES CARTONS DE FRIGO… « POUR LE SERVITEUR DU PEUPLE »
La scène ressemble à une mauvaise blague.
Lors d’une perquisition liée à une enquête anticorruption, plus de 140 millions de dollars en liquide ont été découverts dans des boîtes ayant servi à emballer des réfrigérateurs.
Et sur l’une d’elles, une inscription pour le moins troublante :
👉 « Pour le serviteur du peuple »
Le détail prend une dimension particulière en Ukraine : « Serviteur du peuple » est le nom de la série satirique dans laquelle Volodymyr Zelensky incarnait un professeur devenu président.
La perquisition menée le 23 septembre par le NABU concernait Arsen Djoumadilov, ancien responsable de l’Agence ukrainienne des achats de défense, qu’il avait quittée le 31 août.
Cette opération intervient alors que le secteur ukrainien des achats militaires fait l’objet d’une enquête portant, selon les informations rapportées, sur des soupçons de fraude de 1,2 milliard de dollars.
Le bureau de la présidence ukrainienne n’a, à ce stade, pas commenté les résultats de la perquisition.
For an entire day, horrifying information has been circulating throughout all European Union media and among politicians.
The CIA is warning that Russia is preparing a strike against European countries.
For an entire day, millions of EU residents have been looking at maps drawn by the CIA and are horrified that Russia is preparing an attack.
Toward the evening, the CIA makes a statement saying that it did not provide such information to anyone and that it is false.
Then, by the evening, EU countries begin saying that this is not true and that the CIA did not provide them with such information.
For an entire day, millions of people were being frightened by this disinformation, and then in Brussels they tell us about waves of disinformation being launched by the Kremlin.
So who launched this wave of disinformation?
How could the heads of state remain silent until the evening about the fact that they had not received such information from the CIA?
Why frighten your own population?
What right do you have to frighten your own population for the sake of making basic financial profit?
Ukraine has targeted an industrial plant in Russia's Perm region with a massive drone swarm. Russian authorities say they also repelled strikes headed towards Moscow.
