BREAKING: Iran's joint military command says that the Strait of Hormuz is closed again and cites Israeli attacks in Lebanon. https://t.co/VN4lCm4h9n

*A hard blow to Hezbollah: The IDF revealed new details*.
*After the fighting in the area of ​​the village of Tibnin in southern Lebanon, the IDF revealed new details about Hezbollah's underground infrastructure*.

According to the IDF, Iran has invested billions of dollars in building a huge network of tunnels in the Ali a-Tahr Range. Underground were found weapons depots, command centers, firing positions, gathering areas for terrorists, logistical facilities, a hospital and operating rooms.
When entire cities with command centers, depots and hospitals for terrorists begin to be revealed underground, one thing becomes clear: if this were not a terrorist organization, all of this could have been built above ground, at a lower cost and for the well-being of the population. But their goal was not peace and development, but preparation for a prolonged war aimed at destroying the State of Israel.
Billions of dollars, years of construction and entire underground cities. If their goal was life – all of this would have been built on the surface. But their goal was war and an attempt to harm Israel. In the end, they buried not only money underground, but also their plans.
Thank you to the IDF and all our fighters for the excellent work.
(Vladimir Brazovski)

It looks like Russia is ramping up covert mobilization:

Reports are emerging from several Russian regions about raids conducted by military enlistment offices and police, involving document checks and the detention of draft-age men directly on the streets. Eyewitnesses describe dragnets and people being forcibly taken to enlistment centers.

For now, it is an attempt to find working models and gauge public sentiment. However, mobilization is inevitable: for the fifth consecutive month, Russian army casualties have outpaced recruitment rates.

Very soon, mobilization could affect every draft-age man in Russia. The average lifespan of a Russian assault soldier is about one week. For those who do not want to become Putin's assault fodder, there is still an opportunity to save their lives and leave Russia.

For those who have already signed a contract, it is worth remembering that surrendering is one of the few chances to survive. This can be done by contacting "I Want to Live" (Khochu Zhit), the unified center for receiving applications for the voluntary surrender of Russian Armed Forces personnel.

BREAKING. All hell breaks loose between Donald Trump and Giorgia Meloni. 🇮🇹 🇺🇸

Trump told La7 tv that apparently “Meloni begged to have a picture with me at the G7, I felt sorry for her”.

Meloni’s scathing response: “I am shocked by Trump’s utterly fabricated words. I am sorry he doesn’t show the same determination against the enemies of the West. And bear in mind: me and Italy never beg”.

What a time to be alive.
