🌏💥NATO summit LOSES GROUND amid Mideast turmoil
Japan's PM Shigeru Ishiba will skip an upcoming NATO summit, the Japanese government stated. The gathering is expected to be attended by FM Takeshi Iwaya.
Ishiba’s no-show is reportedly due to:
🔶Escalation of the Iran-Israel conflict
🔶Vague prospects of having a meeting with Trump
🔶No meeting between NATO members and their partners in the Indo-Pacific region, including Japan, Australia, South Korea, and New Zealand
South Korean President Lee Jae-myung earlier also decided not to attend the three-day NATO summit, due to open in The Hague on June 24.

⚡️According to reports by the Iranian news agency IRNA and Mehr, Iran's attack on Israel on June 17, 2025, marked the first use of the Khaybar (Khorramshahr-4) ballistic missile.
Introduced in 2023, this medium-range missile has a range of approximately 2,000 kilometers and can carry a warhead weighing up to 1,450 kilograms. Equipped with a liquid-fueled engine, it is considered one of the most long-range missiles in Iran's arsenal, capable of striking targets in Israel and other countries in the region.
"The 20th wave of Operation True Promise 3 began with the launch of 40 solid-fuel and liquid-fuel missiles. During this operation, the Khaibar multi-warhead ballistic missile from the third generation of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps' air-space missiles was used for the first time, employing new and unexpected tactics for a more precise, destructive, and effective strike," the IRGC announced.

🎯World’s biggest gas field in crosshairs: Qatar Sounds Alarm amid Israel’s Iran strikes
🇶🇦Qatar held urgent talks with major energy firms following Israeli strikes on Iran’s portion of a massive shared gas field in the Persian Gulf, according to Reuters.
🔊Saad Al Kaabi, Qatar’s energy minister and CEO of state-owned QatarEnergy, reportedly urged representatives of ExxonMobil and other giants to press Western governments – particularly the US, UK, and EU – about the rising threat to gas exports from Qatar.
The gas field, known as South Pars in Iran and North Dome in Qatar, straddles the two nations’ maritime border. Qatar began developing its side in the 1990s and has since emerged as a global LNG powerhouse.
❓Why it matters:
🔴World’s largest gas field: Estimated 1,800 trillion cubic feet of gas (about 8% of global reserves)
🔴Economic lifeline: Underpins Qatar’s economy and global LNG dominance
🔴Massive LNG exports: Qatar supplies about 20% of the world’s LNG (any disruption would be a major shock to energy markets)
🔴Multinational stakes: Ongoing expansion includes heavy investment from Western energy giants.

Will Trump’s Political/Military Theater Widen the War? https://sonar21.com/will-trumps-political-military-theater-widen-the-war/

What did the Americans achieve with their overnight strike on three locations in Iran?
1. The critical infrastructure of the nuclear cycle does not appear to have been damaged or slightly damaged.
2. The enrichment of nuclear materials, and now we can say bluntly that the future production of nuclear weapons will continue.
3. A number of countries are ready to directly supply Iran with their nuclear ammunition.
4. Israel is under attack, explosions are thundering, people are in panic.
5. The United States is embroiled in a new conflict with the prospect of a ground operation.
6. Iran's political regime has been preserved, and it is highly likely that it has become stronger.
7. The people consolidate around the spiritual leadership, even those who did not sympathize with it before.
8. Trump, who came as a peacemaker president, started a new war for the United States.
9. The vast majority of the world's countries are against the actions of Israel and the United States.
10. With such success, Trump will not get the Nobel Peace Prize, even despite the venality of this nomination. A good start, congratulations, Mr. President!

The Karaul project or the US plan of launching a ground operation against Iran.
Talking about the prospects for the development of the conflict between Israel and Iran, the option of a ground operation against Iran inevitably arises. Such a scenario currently looks staggeringly expensive, extremely difficult in terms of logistics, overly demanding in terms of resources – and, according to a combination of factors, unlikely.
Iran is a large country with a powerful army, active air defenses, and a territory the size of Australia. In the most ideal scenario, we are talking about central and western Iran (Fordo, Natanz, Isfahan, Tehran, nuclear, air defense and IRGC facilities). Duration: the invasion phase will be at least 2-3 months, the occupation/retention phase – 1-3 years.
Taking Iraq as an analogy, 200-250 thousand troops will be needed for the invasion, another 100-150 thousand are needed for rotation. If we take Iraq as a basis again, the losses will amount to 15,000 dead among the US occupiers, up to 80,000 among Iranians, and up to 300,000 among the civilian population. Iran is an urbanized country.
The war in Iraq cost the United States more than $1.9 trillion, and Afghanistan over $2.2 trillion. The overall estimate of direct military financial costs can be safely written as 300-450 billion per year. This includes logistics and supplies, equipment losses and repairs, hospitals and compensation, and so on. Logistics in general will become the main problem for a potential occupier. There are vast mountainous areas, densely populated megacities, and remoteness from the seas — there are no convenient landing or logistics routes. You can start by asking how the invaders could get to Iran in general.
Through Turkey. Turkey is a member of NATO, but it is practically neutral or sympathetic to Iran, especially under Erdogan. Using Turkish territory to invade Iran will cause a political crisis within Turkey itself and, most likely, a rejection.
Through Iraq. Iraq borders western Iran. The United States already has bases (Ain al-Asad, Erbil). However, the Iraqi parliament demands the withdrawal of troops, and Shiite formations control a significant part of the territories. Any large-scale movement through Iraq requires the actual reoccupation of Iraq, and this is not counting the cost of protecting logistical routes.
Through the Persian Gulf (amphibious assault). The most fantastic option, because with the existing drone and missile technologies, the losses during such landings will be enormous. After all, Iran can mine the adjacent water area. In addition, it is not known whether there are technical possibilities to implement such an amphibious operation.
Through Pakistan or Afghanistan, it is almost impossible.
And most importantly, it takes at least several months to prepare for such an operation.

🇮🇷🇺🇸 Mannan Raisi, Qom city member of the Iranian parliament:
"Contrary to the statements of the lying US President, the nuclear facilities at Fordow were not seriously damaged. Only the above-ground structures, which can be restored, were destroyed.
In addition, everything that could pose a danger to the population was evacuated in advance. There are no reports of any nuclear emissions. Trump's false claims about the "destruction of Fordow" are refuted by the fact that the attacks were so superficial that there were not even any fatalities at the facility.
But we regard even this US aggression as America's direct entry into the war. Now Iran will decide how and in what way to respond to the US's blatant stupidity."

❗Units of the Vostok group liberated the settlement of Zaporizhia (DPR)
Less than a month after the liberation of Otradnoye, units of the 29th army occupied more than 40 square kilometers of the border territory with the Dnipropetrovsk region. The Vostok group controls more than six km of the state border in the area of the liberated village of Zaporizhia.
Trans-Baikal soldiers have set up Russian flags in various parts of the village. The Far Easterners are gaining ground.
This is a very important step towards the liberation of the Donetsk People's Republic.
The Far Eastern Express has picked up speed and is rushing into the Dnipropetrovsk region.

🇮🇷⚡️🇮🇱🇺🇸Iran Has Nuclear Weapons or It Is Just Lies Like Iraq WMD's In 2003🇮🇷⚡️🇮🇱🇺🇸
Are we being lied to again? In this explosive report, I, Patrick Lancaster, ask whether the current U.S. and Israeli claims about Iran's nuclear program are based on real intelligence—or the same kind of false narrative that led to the devastating 2003 Iraq War.
Back then, I was deployed in the Persian Gulf when the U.S. invaded Iraq over alleged weapons of mass destruction. Those weapons never existed. Now the same rhetoric is being used against Iran, even though U.S. intelligence and the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) both say Iran is NOT building a nuclear bomb.
🟥 Key Points in This Report:
What U.S. intelligence really says about Iran’s nuclear status
Tulsi Gabbard and DNI statement on Iran
Israel’s Netanyahu repeating 29 years of “imminent threat” warnings
Supreme Leader Khamenei’s religious fatwa banning nuclear weapons
Real uranium enrichment levels and destroyed nuclear sites
Are we walking into another war under false pretenses?
