BREAKING | Yemen announces blockade on Israel-linked vessels in Bab al-Mandab Strait
Statement from the Yemeni Armed Forces:
Expand
"In the context of confronting the American and Zionist aggression against the Axis of Resistance and resistance in Iran, Palestine, Lebanon, Iraq, and Yemen, and rejecting the Zionist project aimed at establishing a 'Greater Israel' under the guise of the 'New Middle East,' and in an effort to break the unjust and oppressive siege imposed by the American enemy on our people and the free and proud nations of the axis in Lebanon, Gaza, and Iran, the Yemeni Armed Forces have launched a missile strike targeting sensitive Israeli objectives in the occupied region of Jaffa, and thanks to God, they have successfully achieved their objectives.
In this context, the Armed Forces emphasize the following:
Firstly, we announce a complete and total naval blockade against the Israeli enemy in the Red Sea, and we consider all enemy movements a military target for our armed forces from the moment of this statement's announcement.
Secondly, we confirm that we will confront escalation with escalation, and that our military operations will intensify in line with the events, the battle, and our participation in the axis of jihad and resistance.
Thirdly, we affirm the right of our people and the free nations of our nation to confront the American-Israeli aggression, and that we will not stand idly by in the face of the unjust siege on our people and the nations of the axis of resistance in Palestine, Gaza, Iran, Lebanon, and Iraq. All enemy attempts will fail by God's permission, and our operations will continue as long as the aggression and siege against us and the axis of resistance continues."
๐ฎ๐ท๐ฎ๐ฑ Israeli Army Radio:
The assessment in the Israeli army this morning is that exchanges of strikes with Iran are expected to continue for several days.
A large-scale mobilization of reserve forces in the Home Front Command began this morning, including rescue and relief teams prepared to reach missile impact sites.

๐ฆ๐ฒ Pashinyan's party received 49.81% of the votes, according to preliminary data from the Armenian Central Election Commission after counting votes from all polling stations.
That means that Pashinyan's party failed to secure the 50% needed to form a government alone.
The "Strong Armenia" party gets 23.29%, the "Armenia" bloc - 9.94%, and the "Prosperous Armenia" political force - 4%.

Good. I was worried Iran might only hit israel and let the rest of the aggressors sit back and pretend they aren't still at war.
๐ฎ๐ฑโ๏ธ๐ฎ๐ทCAN ISRAEL STRIKE IRAN WITHOUT THE US? The Tanker Math (Nobody Is Doing) Doesn't Math
Trump says US forces won't participate in Isn'treal's announced retaliation against Iran.
Cool story, Daddy.
Let's look at what Isn'treal can actually do on its own:
โ๏ธIsrael's entire aerial refueling fleet:
๐ขTotal: 8 tankers โก๏ธ~620 tons of fuel
The geography:
At these distances, the actual mission profile for strike aircraft is:
That's three refueling stations required simultaneously โ with no tanker able to safely loiter near Iranian airspace.
๐ง The math:
8 tankers split across 3 stations = 2โ3 tankers per station - in theory. More likely: 2 tankers per "safe zone" stations, 4 tankers for the emergency egress refuel.
Each tanker carries ~75t (95t) of transferable fuel. Each strike aircraft (F-35I, F-15I) needs roughly 6โ8t per refueling event. That's 9โ12 aircraft serviced per tanker per station โ before it's empty.
With 2-3 tankers at the critical egress bracket, that's theoretically 18โ24 aircraft โ and the timing and sequencing can collapse fast, as pilots exiting Iranian airspace fuel-critical cannot queue. They need gas now, in short sequence, cannot loiter or "hop on to the next station".
Maximum realistic sortie: 15โ20 aircraft. One wave. Then the entire fleet lands, refuels, and resets.
Another, even bigger Elephant in the room - who will deal with Iranian AD systems? Where will Isn'trealis get the anti-radar specialists to supress Iranian AD and enable the aerial incursion into its airspace in the first place?
๐ง Conclusion:
Without the actual US military, its Isn'treali proxy cannot do a single real aerial operation against Iran - they can deliver their calling card - launch 20-30 stand-off munitions at targets in western Iran. At best.
Oh, another "interesting" fact: currently there are 40+ US KC-135s and KC-46s parked at Ben Gurion Airport - and they're staying there "till end of 2027".
Their numbers actually grew from ~36 during the February-March terror campaign against Iran to 47 after the ceasefire, with additional tankers rotating in despite Iran destroying or damaging at least 7 US refuelers during the conflict (1 shot down over Iraq, 5 damaged at Prince Sultan AB in Saudi Arabia, at least 1 more hit in action).
The US tankers at Ben Gurion have been flying daily sorties continuously since early April.

๐ฆ๐ฒ Pashinyan declares victory in Armenia's parliamentary elections โ with just 11.74% of ballots counted.
Speaking after the CEC processed results from 471 polling stations out of over 2,000, Pashinyan announced Civil Contract will form the next government alone, ruling out any coalition. Over 1.3 million ballots remain uncounted, including the vast majority of Yerevan.
The opposition is not accepting it.
ARF Supreme Council Chair Ishkhan Saghatelyan accused Pashinyan of attempting to pressure the CEC and seize power before results are finalized. "Before the election results are summarized, your statements are simply attempts to pressure the CEC," he said.
Former Human Rights Defender Arman Tatoyan went further, calling Pashinyan's declaration unconstitutional and a criminal act. "This constitutes illegal pressure on the Central Election Commission and is subject to criminal liability," Tatoyan said.
Strong Armenia leader Samvel Karapetyan โ speaking at 4AM Yerevan time โ called the elections a "disgrace," claimed 75 alliance members are under arrest and over 700 people detained, and flatly rejected the victory claim. "The elections are not over. There are still no final results. They will not have a victory," he said, adding that Civil Contract has received only around 30% of the actual vote โ figures he says will be presented in the morning.
Pashinyan's Civil Contract's share has been declining with each new batch of results processed.

โFollowing the repeated violations of the ceasefire and the aggressive actions of the Zionist regime against Lebanon and the Islamic Republic of Iran, including through complicity with the terrorist army of the United States in the attacks of the past two weeks on Iranian ships and targets in the southern regions of the country, as well as complicity with the American regime in maritime piracy against the Iranian nation, the armed forces of the Islamic Republic of Iran struck several military targets in the north of the occupied Palestinian territories on the evening of Sunday, June 7th 2026, within the framework of the inherent right of self-defense in accordance with Article 51 of the United Nations Charter.
The Islamic Republic of Iran, emphasizing the Iranian nationโs strong determination to decisively defend its security and national interests at any point it deems appropriate, recalls that the ceasefire in Lebanon was an integral part of the ceasefire agreement dated April 8th, 2026, and that the U.S. government bears direct responsibility for the violations of this ceasefire by the Zionist regime and the consequences thereof, as well as any increase in tension in the region.
The Islamic Republic of Iran warns that any evil adventure by the Zionist regime against Lebanon or the Islamic Republic of Iran will be met with a crushing and comprehensive response from the zealous Iranian armed forces.โ

@SimurghRes
โ The impacts so far are low yield explosions (cluster impacts)
The strategy of launching small groups of missiles from different bases is for defensive considerations and showing that all bases are operational.
The attack is meant as a final warning; if Israel dares to respond, the next step will be much greater.
@Middle_East_Spectator
๐ฎ๐ท๐บ๐ธ๐ฎ๐ฑ| Iranโs Central Military Command (Khatam Al-Anbiya):
Despite the previous warnings of the Islamic Republic of Iran, the child-killing Zionist regime has crossed all red lines and, by intensifying its attacks in southern Lebanon, has targeted Beirutโs Dahiyeh.
We had previously warned that if the crimes in Beirutโs Dahieh expanded, we would attack targets in the occupied territories.
The Zionist army must stop its attacks on southern Lebanon and Dahiyeh.
If it expands its attacks on that area, or responds to Iranโs action, it will face more crushing and regret-inducing strikes, and devastating attacks against the regime and its supporters will begin.

New strikes on the southern suburbs of Beirut. Everyone seems to be holding their breath and wondering how a possible retaliation from Hezbollah/Iran could look. This has been one of Irans red lines in the so called "negotiations" with the US regime, but I have seen nothing officially yet.
Trump has reportedly called for more "surgical strikes" against Hezbollah so no condemnation from that sicko.
