8·18 days agoThere’s reports that maybe 2 more helicopters got heavily damaged or downed. A refueling aircraft also got hit and was flashing its emergency signal. Another F15 or F16 was flying over Saudi Arabia flashing its emergency signal, then went silent. Maybe they just turned off their transponder, or they crashed.
At this point, all he wants is for a win that will make Iran stop shooting and let him declare victory in retreat.
No Cuba, don’t talk to the beast. That’s how it enters your home.
Best to remain skeptical for now. There’s a lot of rumours flying around. The post might be fake, or the result of a hack, or simply a misunderstanding among staff. We’ll eventually find out I guess.
🇺🇸🇮🇶| The PMU-affiliated Sabreen channel has published footages showing the American KC-135 refueller aircraft crashing down into pieces after it was shot down by Iraqi resistance groups.

BREAKING: An Iranian missile strike hit Prince Sultan Air Base in Saudi Arabia, damaging 5 U.S. Air Force refueling planes on the ground.
The aircraft were damaged but not destroyed, and no one was killed in that strike.
This brings the total to at least 7 U.S. refueling planes lost or damaged recently.

🇮🇷💥🇮🇱 Emergency services activity in southern Israel.
🔴 @DDGeopolitics
This convoy is in response to the strike on Nevatim. Something important got hit. Could be related to that weird post about Netanyahu’s status.
🇮🇷💥🇮🇱 Missile strike, reportedly on the Nevatim Airbase.

Prime Minister of Israel account on X (@IsraelPM):
“Rumours circulating on social media about PM Benjamin Netanyahu’s status are UNCONFIRMED. We urge citizens to rely on verified updates. Efforts are underway to establish contact. PM Netanyahu remains committed to Israel’s security”
This was posted and promptly deleted… Very weird post. UNCONFIRMED? You haven’t confirmed the status of the PM? What do you make of this?
🔴 @DDGeopolitics
Extremely weird post. They capitalized UNCONFIRMED. I bolted the part about underway efforts.
🇮🇷❌🇮🇱🇧🇭🇺🇸 — Bahraini authorities acknowledge that “American facilities within its borders” were bombarded with 121 ballistic missiles and 193 attack aircraft.

🇱🇧❌🇮🇱 — Hezbollah’s Secretary-General Sheikh Naim Qassim:
We in Lebanon are fighting a battle of legitimate defense to confront the brutal “Israeli” aggression, and we are facing a dangerous and savage aggression that poses an existential threat.
We were not facing a normal situation, but rather a continuous barbaric act lasting for 15 months.
We have raised the cry several times that the opportunity would run out, and that there is a limit to the continuation of aggression and a limit to the exhaustion of patience.
On three occasions, across three stages, we convened at the leadership level and consulted on responding to the aggression; however, we viewed the timing as inappropriate and were convinced of giving an additional chance, believing that the circumstances were not suitable.
There were parties contacting us and insisting that we provide them with an additional opportunity for the political path.
In the final month, the “Israeli” debate focused on the necessity of carrying out a major operation against Lebanon, but the debate was over the timing.
We found that in what occurred following the aggression against Iran and after the martyrdom of Imam Khamenei, conditions became suitable for us to confront this enemy.
On one hand, he has been committing aggression for 15 months and it seems he will not stop; on the other hand, he killed our Imam and leader; and thirdly, when the battle is synchronized with what is happening in Iran, we can weaken the enemy.
We mounted a defense, yet some say you provoked the enemy with this barrage; did the martyrs, the wounded, and the prisoners not provoke you?
We consider ourselves in the right of legitimate defense, and we are in the “Battle of the Al-Asf al-Ma’kul” (the Eaten Straw), which is in defense of Lebanon against the “Israeli” enemy.
We decided to name this operation the “Battle of the Al-Asf al-Ma’kul,” which is a defense of Lebanon, our dignity, and our land, and a confrontation with the “Israeli” enemy, taking inspiration from Surat al-Fil in the Holy Quran.
The Lebanese government has been able neither to achieve sovereignty nor to protect its citizens.
The enemy has resorted to the destruction of homes in a horrific and very dangerous manner, even targeting Al-Qard Al-Hassan, and has displaced entire cities under the pretext of “fighting the resistance fighters,” while in reality, he is extinguishing life.
There is no solution except through resistance; otherwise, Lebanon is heading toward extinction.
We have taken lessons and insights from the “Battle of the Mighty.”
We affirm that the enemy now does not possess the capability to achieve its goals.
We have prepared ourselves for a long confrontation, and they will be surprised on the battlefield; the enemy will see our might, and his threats do not frighten us.
Hezbollah fighters are seekers of martyrdom who do not fear death and are ready for direct, close-quarters engagement with the enemy.
Your message has reached me, O Mujahideen, you who are the salt of the earth.
We are strong in three things: our faith in God Almighty, our support for the truth, and the will and equipment we have prepared.
When they kill people, they only intend to distance the people from the resistance, but they will not be able to.
These people belong to the resistance project; they have given their children to the path of resistance, and they are the people of resistance, honor, dignity, and glory.
The displaced and the refugees are in a position of contribution and sacrifice; they are satisfied with this and they believe in it. We are of them and they are of us, but endurance is the solution to overcome this stage.
I heard that Netanyahu is threatening me with assassination, and Imam Ali says: “Death is a sufficient guardian.”
When the end of one’s end comes, no one can prevent it; therefore, your threat is worthless, and he whose corruption on earth increases sets the stage for his own fall according to our traditions. Netanyahu is among the corrupters.
And the result was: “And We desired to bestow a favor upon those who were deemed weak in the land, and to make them leaders and to make them the heirs.”
If there were no resistance, what would the “Israeli” have done? He would have entered the houses of Nabi Chit, house by house, killing them one by one and taking whomever he wanted.
The aggression must be stopped, not the resistance. This is our country, and we will not allow anyone to control its fate, its decisions, or how its children live.
We fight and are confident in victory. We will remain an impregnable wall in the face of the enemy’s goals. We have the faith, the will, and the capability; for us, being killed is a habit, our dignity is from God, and martyrdom is our lot.
The solution is clear: a complete cessation of aggression, the full withdrawal of “Israel” from the occupied territories, the release of prisoners, the return of people to their villages, and the start of reconstruction. This is the solution for the resistance to stop this battle or this confrontation.
This resistance continues, and the field is the arena of honor. The word now belongs to the field; we are ready for it, God is with us, our people are with us, and the free and honorable people in our homeland and in the world are with us. This is the asset that will prevail, God Almighty willing.
@SimurghRes
They were stationed somewhere in West Africa and are moving towards Eastern Mediterranean, probably near Cyprus, between it and Suez, Israel or Turkey. Their official orders are to take position in the Eastern Mediterranean. We don’t know if they plan to cross the Suez. It should take it another day or two to reach its officially ordered position.
He made a public appearance last night, after the rumours came out. Ben Gvir was also there I think. So no, unfortunately. Might have been AI, but considering the sources were shoddy at best on the initial rumour, it’s safer to assume he’s not dead yet. Cockroaches tend to survive.
🇮🇷❌🇮🇱🇺🇸 — Statement No. 26 issued by the Iranian Army:
The Army of the Islamic Republic of Iran announced in Statement No. 26 that 5 drones belonging to the aggressor enemy were shot down during the past 48 hours. This brings the total number of drones destroyed since the beginning of the American–Zionist aggression by the air defense systems of the Army and the Revolutionary Guard, under the command of the country’s Joint Air Defense Headquarters, to 109 drones.
The statement also noted that most of the aggressor enemy’s advanced drones were shot down by the armed forces’ air defense systems before they could carry out their offensive operations. @SimurghRes
An MQ9 Reaper costs around 35 million dollars. The total cost of downed drones is then calculated to be between 3 and 4 billion dollars (3.8 billion if all of them were MQ9s)
Deleted. It seems it’s real, but from the 12 day war.
Yes, I’ve found the original! Deleted, thanks!

Yeah, this one definitely is. Let me know if you see any others. I removed it from the list. Thanks!

@SimurghRes
A few years ago, this guy was taking part in orchestrating chemical attacks against civilians, putting women in cages hoisted over city streets, and chopping people’s heads off for disagreeing with his religious madness, all done under the blessings and protections of the West. But NOW we are going to call the international community to assume its responsibilities.
