🇺🇸🇮🇱⚔️🇮🇷 Iranian missiles are penetrating Israeli defenses, raising doubts about interceptor effectiveness, The Washington Post reports.
Officials say fears that Iran is stockpiling missiles to overwhelm air defenses helped drive the conflict, and recent strikes have exposed vulnerabilities in Israel.
Hits on Arad and Dimona have fueled concerns Israel may be running low on interceptors and could be forced to ration them, prioritizing key sites like Dimona’s nuclear facility.
Israel’s layered air defense, including Iron Dome, David's Sling, and Arrow, is considered among the most advanced, but costs are high. Arrow interceptors run about $3 million each, David’s Sling about $700,000, Iron Dome $50,000 to $70,000, and THAAD around $15 million.
According to U.S. officials, the Pentagon spent roughly $5.6 billion on munitions in the first two days of strikes on Iran

🇰🇼 There are power outages in some parts of Kuwait.
The official spokesperson for the Ministry of Electricity, Water, and Renewable Energy, Engineer Fatima Abbas Jawhar Hayat, announced that (7) overhead power transmission lines have gone out of service in several areas of the country. This was due to damage caused by falling debris resulting from interception operations carried out by air defense systems, which led to partial power outages in some regions. Work is currently underway to restore electricity.

🇷🇺🇮🇳India and Russia have agreed to prepare for the resumption of direct deliveries of Russian liquefied natural gas.
Officially, India has not purchased Russian LNG since the start of the Special Military Operation.
BREAKING | Yemeni Armed Forces:
"Based on our religious and moral responsibility, and in light of the ongoing US–Israeli aggression targeting the Islamic Republic of Iran, the Axis of Resistance, and the wider Islamic nation, under the pretext of reshaping the Middle East and advancing the project of 'Greater Israel,' the Yemeni Armed Forces affirm their position.
In line with the legitimate right of our Ummah to confront this project, carried out by the US and Israel, and emphasizing the importance of regional unity in resisting this aggression and inflicting a decisive defeat upon it, we reaffirm the principled stance of the Yemeni people in standing with any Muslim country under US–Israeli attack.
As the aggression continues against Iran, Palestine and Gaza, Iraq, and Lebanon, posing a threat to the entire region, the Yemeni Armed Forces state the following:
First: Immediate compliance by the US and Israel with international diplomatic efforts to halt the aggression against Iran and Axis countries, as it is unjustified and destabilizing both regionally and globally, including economically.
Second: An immediate end to attacks on Muslim countries, including Palestine, Lebanon, Iran, and Iraq, and the lifting of the blockade on Yemen.
Third: Implementation of the Gaza agreement and fulfillment of all humanitarian and legitimate obligations toward the Palestinian people.
Fourth: We affirm that we are ready for direct military intervention in the following cases:
- If additional coalitions join the US and Israel against Iran and the Axis of Resistance.
- If the Red Sea is used to carry out hostile operations by the US or Israel against Iran or any Muslim country, this will not be allowed.
- If escalation against Iran and the Axis of Resistance continues.
Fifth: The Yemeni Armed Forces warn against any measures aimed at tightening the blockade on the Yemeni people.
Conclusion: Our military operations target the US and Israeli enemy to defeat the Zionist project and do not target any Muslim people."

The numbers speak for themselves. The strikes are hitting homes.

❗️White phosphorus strikes by Israel devastate southern Lebanon, forcing mass displacement
Human Rights Watch and independent researchers have documented the use of white phosphorus by Israeli forces over agricultural and residential areas in southern Lebanon, confirming the chemical weapon’s deployment during the early days of the recent Israeli assault on Lebanon. Satellite imagery and photos verified that M825 155mm shells released white phosphorus over residential areas in south Lebanon, forcibly displacing roughly 800,000 people.
Experts warn that Israel may be using white phosphorus to create a scorched-earth “buffer zone” along the border, clearing fields and forests to expose Hezbollah fighters. According to a report from Al Mayadeen, between October 2023 and November 2024, nearly 250 instances were recorded, with 39 percent striking residential areas, 17 percent agricultural lands, and 44 percent forests or open terrain. The strikes produced intense fires, thick smoke, and chemical contamination, endangering anyone returning to the region.
Environmental and agricultural damage is severe. More than 2,000 hectares of southern Lebanese countryside were burned, including nearly 900 hectares of dense forest. Phosphorus contamination in soil, combined with heavy metals, threatens crop fertility, reduces microbial diversity, and leaves the land hazardous for farmers and residents long after the attacks.

🇺🇸🇵🇰🇮🇷 — Pakistani Defense Minister Khawaja M. Asif:
The goal of the war seems to have shifted to opening the strait of Hormuz, which was open before the war. 👏👏👏🫡
Iranian Speaker of Parliament Mohammad-Bagher Ghalibaf:
They're playing 6D chess again! 👏👏
From Sony Thang:
Let's be honest about what the American bases in the Gulf actually protect.
They protect the governments.
From their own populations.
This is not an accusation.
This is the stated architecture of the security relationships.
The American security umbrella is explicitly extended to protect the governments from external threats and, crucially, from internal instability.
Meaning from the possibility that the population might decide it wants a different government.
The deal is simple:
You give us basing rights, access, intelligence cooperation, and compliant foreign policy, and we make sure you stay in power regardless of what your people want.
This is why the Arab Spring was contained where it was contained and not where it wasn't.
This is why certain governments survived 2011 and others didn't.
This is why the American military footprint in the Gulf expanded, not contracted, in the years after popular uprisings showed what populations actually wanted.
The bases protect governments from democracy.
And those same governments, protected from democracy by American power, are using those bases to argue that Iran is the threat to regional security.
The threat to regional security is the idea that Muslim populations should have a say in whether their governments normalize with Israel.
The threat is the idea that the ummah's resources should be used for the ummah.
The threat is the example of a government that said no to the arrangement and is still standing.
That is the threat.
Iran is the threat.
Not to the people.
To the arrangement.
And the arrangement is using the people's land, and the people's resources, and the people's Islam, to protect itself from the threat.

🇾🇪The leader of Ansar Allah, Sayyed Abdulmalik Badreddin al-Houthi:
(Brief teaser)
Iran achieves its goals by targeting American bases and Israeli objectives.
Cooperation at this stage is in the interest of the Palestinian cause, the Lebanese people, preventing the continued aggression against Syria, and repelling the danger from Egypt, Jordan, and the Arabian Peninsula.
Regarding our situation in Yemen, we are not neutral. We are with Islam and the Islamic nation. We are within the framework of the right position.
Complete summary
spoiler
Our position in Yemen is within the framework of jihad for the sake of Allah against the Zionist plan and against the enemies of Muslims and of all of human society.
Our position in Yemen is against the American-Israeli aggression aimed at implementing the Zionist, satanic plan targeting our nation.
Our Yemeni people reciprocate loyalty with loyalty. Iran was the only country - officially - that stood in solidarity with us against the aggression on our country.
Our Muslim Yemeni people are aware of their responsibility and cannot accept the implementation of the Zionist plan targeting us in our Islam, our world, our homelands, our freedom, our dignity, and our independence.
We are with the freedom and dignity of our Islamic nation, and this is a principled position.
I declare that we will never hesitate to fulfill our Islamic duty in jihad for the sake of Allah against the tyrant of our time, the Jews and Zionists, and their American arm.
Any developments in the battle requiring a military response, we will initiate it with full confidence in Allah and reliance on Him, as in previous rounds.
Our position is clear and explicit against America and Israel, and we do not harbor any hostile intentions against any Muslim country.
We call on all countries of the Islamic world to cooperate as one to put an end to the Zionist debauchery and American tyranny targeting the entire nation.
We are confident that the fruit of steadfastness and perseverance based on reliance on Allah and adherence to the right is the promised victory.
I call on our dear, steadfast Yemeni people to participate in the great million-strong march tomorrow, Friday, God willing.
The Israeli enemy has not implemented the agreements, neither in withdrawing from the Gaza Strip, nor in stopping its crimes of killing, siege, torture, and violating the sanctity of the Al-Aqsa Mosque.
The Saudi regime should stop its hostile actions against our people and focus on addressing its own problems instead of targeting our people.
The Saudi regime is not obliged to be hostile towards our people, as our people are our allies and partners in the struggle against the Zionist project.
The Saudi regime is not serving its own interests by targeting our people, as this will only lead to further instability and insecurity in the region.
Listen Closely, Gallant: Handala’s Eyes and Ears Are Everywhere
Once again, the vigilant hand of resistance has struck at the rotten heart of the occupying regime. This time, it was Yoav Gallant, the former Minister of Defense of the Zionist entity, who tasted the bitter flavor of disgrace, helplessness, and humiliation. Through a successful cyber operation, Handala’s sons have infiltrated Gallant’s confidential and personal systems, gaining access to all his secret communications and correspondence.
To prove the authenticity of this operation and to ensure transparency, some of these chats and documents have been published as PoC (Proof of Concept) for the public. However, due to the high intelligence value and ongoing exploitation, the majority of the chats will not be released for now, leaving the regime’s leaders in a state of sleepless anxiety.
So far, over 70 pages of Yoav Gallant’s contacts have been fully exposed, sending a clear message to his friends and accomplices: there is nowhere left to hide.
At this moment, we must thank Mr. Gallant with irony and ridicule, for while he was passionately narrating his crimes, he failed to notice that Handala was listening closely! Just as we previously extracted the coordinates of the secret “Site 81” base from Gabi Ashkenazi’s emails and turned it into a missile target during the 12-day war, this time we have uncovered the exact locations of 11 ultra-secret military bases from your files. These bases will be targeted by precise missile strikes in the coming hours.
As promised, the children of resistance are working tirelessly, day and night, to execute combined cyber and missile operations—leaving no safe haven for the enemy.
Hand in hand, until the complete liberation of Palestine

🇺🇸⚔️🇮🇷 The 20-year Treasury yield has snapped back to 5.00% within a day of Trump claiming peace talks had begun.
Markets aren’t buying the narrative. Borrowing costs are surging, with mortgage rates pushing toward 7% and gas nearing $4.00.
The bond market is signaling clearly: this war isn’t financially sustainable.
Russia is transferring upgraded Shahed drones to Iran, according to AP.
Russian engineers have reportedly improved the Iranian drones, adding cameras, AI components, and jet engines, as well as improving navigation and electronic warfare protection.
Intelligence agencies say negotiations between Russia and Iran have been "very active" this month, but the scale of the transfers is still unknown.
The White House stated that this will not impact the effectiveness of the US, which has already "destroyed more than 140 Iranian vessels and reduced attacks on Iran by 90%."
Makes zero sense, as parts could just come from China.
❗️Israeli forces back settler takeover of Palestinian homes in occupied Jerusalem
Israeli occupation forces moved into the Silwan neighborhood of occupied East Jerusalem on Wednesday, clearing the way for the eviction of 11 Palestinian families and the seizure of multiple apartments. Police escorted settlers linked to the Ateret Cohanim organization into the Palestinian village, where footage showed furniture being thrown from windows and Israeli flags raised over the confiscated homes. Local sources and rights groups say at least 13 apartments were taken in the operation.
Human rights group B’Tselem warned that thousands of Palestinians in Silwan now face the threat of forced displacement, describing the evictions as part of a wider policy to reshape the area’s demographic balance. The group accused Israeli authorities of exploiting the US-Israeli war on Iran to accelerate settlement expansion in occupied territories, including East Jerusalem and the occupied West Bank, under legal frameworks that discriminate against Palestinians.
The developments come alongside a surge in settler violence across the occupied West Bank, where homes and vehicles have been torched in multiple villages. Palestinian emergency services reported injuries following assaults by settlers, while Israeli authorities acknowledged a wave of arson attacks but made no arrests. Local observers say the escalation reflects a broader pattern of coordinated pressure on Palestinian communities in order to further ethnically cleanse them from their land.

❗️Public Relations of Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) announces that a US military F-18 fighter jet was hit by fire from Iranian air defenses.
Almost a month after the start of the latest US and Israeli military offensive against Iran, the price of fertilizers has risen by 25%, which is already impacting food production costs in Mexico and around the world, said Jorge Esteve, president of the National Agricultural Council (CNA), on Wednesday.
“Approximately 35% of the global urea supply is produced in the (conflict) area and passes through the Strait of Hormuz. Furthermore, 20% of the world's fertilizers are produced in this area,” Esteve said at a press conference.
Urea is a derivative of natural gas and an essential input for the production of nitrogen fertilizers. “The price of fertilizers is rising by over 25%,” he said.
The increase comes at a time when farmers are preparing for the planting of the next agricultural cycle, where the fertilization of the land does not stop.
Get ready folks. It is going to get ugly.
