Israel expects Iranian missiles to arrive in 15 minutes.

Iran tried to kill Donald Trump twice, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said.
They burn the American flag and chant endlessly, "Death to America." Our enemy is your enemy. And by doing what we do, we are fighting a threat that will eventually affect us all. Our victory is your victory, too.— Netanyahu said in his speech.
In the meantime, significant number of Geraniums are hitting targets in the Kiev and Chernigov regions.

The US has withdrawn air defence systems from Ukraine to strengthen the protection of its bases in the Middle East, the head of the Pentagon said.
➖“I’ve been at congressional hearings all week. And I was asked the question: “Have you really moved counter-drone systems from Ukraine to the Middle East?” And I said: yes, we have. We are using all available means to protect our people in the region and around the world, because today’s defence landscape is different. Small systems can pose a serious threat. We are as prepared as possible. War is really changing right before our eyes — the technology, the methods. It’s scary. Yes, it is scary. But we have the right people on the ground,” said Pete Hegseth.
Earlier, Zelensky reproached the United States for refusing to transfer the promised missiles to Ukraine to fight the "Shaheds" and instead gave them to the Middle East.

President Trump: 'The war between Iran and Israel must end'
Oooooooooooh, he means the very same war that he's started, aided, and abetted? The very same war about which he's been gloating to the New York Post? That very same war?
What's the matter, did the USA and their rabid dog bit more than they could chew?
@Slavyangrad
The main strategic difficulty for Israel now is that time is not on its side. Airstrikes – even well-planned, with elements of surprise and good basic information support – cannot continue indefinitely. Their resources and effect on space are limited. Both in intelligence and in ammunition, in political legitimacy, in the attention of the external audience.
And sooner or later Netanyahu will face a dilemma: either stop and admit that the goals have been partially achieved or not achieved at all, or call for help from the United States and move on to the next stage – power and political.
The problem is that Israel has already used almost all of its available arsenal of non-nuclear pressure, including high-precision American weapons, electronic warfare systems, cyber-influence systems, and sabotage groups. However, all of the key sites of the Iranian nuclear program are physically buried tens of meters deep in rock. Natanz, Fordow, Espejabad, and other sites were designed as anti-Israeli by definition — with the expectation that they could not be hit by standard aircraft and conventional ammunition.
Technically, Israel has reached the limit of what is possible without taking actions that it either cannot or does not want to take. Iran knew this. And the bet on depth, the dispersal of objects and the decentralization of vertical control now played a role: the ground infrastructure (on the surface) was damaged, but did not collapse, the personnel suffered losses, but they will be replenished, the control centers were disorganized, but not destroyed.
So Israel's key weakness now is not tactics, but the lack of a sensible next move. All options other than involving the US have either already been used or are politically unavailable. This means that every next move will raise even more questions about the appropriateness of this attack.

“We are defending the world from a common enemy[, from Cyprus, from a plane surrounded by a flock of F-35s, from a secure destination far away from retaliation. We are the wall stands against evil, in an undisclosed and impregnable location.”
I can make this into a poem. But should I?
The decision to close the Strait of Hormuz has not yet been made. Iran is studying the issue and is holding back this decision in case of further escalation, for example, in the event of strikes on its oil refineries.
This is one of the trump cards Iran uses to threaten Israel and Washington. A prolonged blockade of the Strait of Hormuz would drive up oil prices and cause enormous damage to the global economy, affecting the United States, China, Iran itself, and the Gulf monarchies.
In this case, Russia will receive huge oil profits. Since the demand and price for Russian oil will increase significantly.
The DPRK, Pakistan and Afghanistan expressed full support for Iran today. The DPRK and Pakistan have the technology to produce nuclear weapons.

Everybody's favourite annihilator of intelligence and excellent case against promoting mediocrity personified just because they toe the party line, Standartenführer Kaja KallaSS, couldn't just let those German politicians take all the clowning away from her and decided to unleash a neuron-destroying broadside of her own:
On one hand, diplomacy must prevail and the European Union is ready to mediate (even if Germany, France, Italy, and the United Kingdom condemn Iran's retaliations), and Iran must never acquire a nuclear weapon, even if Israel's strikes combined with the North Korean example have made an excellent argument in favour of having one.
If you're feeling dumber just by reading that post, that feeling is your neurons committing suicide over the stupidity of KallaSS' statements.
We've all been there 🤪

According to Iranian media, Air Defenses are active in Tabriz, Maragheh, Mahabad, Isfahan, Khorramabad, and Teheran. At least seven of Iran's provinces are being targeted by Israeli air strikes, with at least one Israeli drone having been downed above Ahvaz.

IDF Home Front Command is detecting preparations for an incoming Iranian retaliatory strike, and is urging citizens to stay near protected areas.

Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps to Israelis :
Stay away from energy facilities and power plants.
The IRGC, police and other Iranian agencies have deployed thousands of security personnel on highways, roads and around sensitive sites across the country to conduct checks and surveillance to detect any suspicious movements of enemy agents.

One of two drones was shot down over Tehran today.
Iran also confirmed two attacks on the country's oil and gas facilities (damage limited). Israel says it was a "warning."
Iran today arrested 16 people on charges of having links to Mossad. In Iran, this carries the death penalty.
@Slavyangrad
Israeli strikes hit Isfahan and Hamadan again.
@Slavyangrad
The military garrison at Imam Hassan base in Kermanshah province in western Iran, which was already attacked this morning, is currently burning after another Israeli air strike.

Today, I am planting my cucumbers, zucchini, and peppers. All dreadfully overdue… they are screaming for mercy.
Tomorrow—more cherry tomatoes and herbs: dill, cilantro, rosemary, mint, thyme, parsley (flat-leaf and Italian), some Italian nonsense, of which I got two, to spite my wife, oh, yeah, it’s oregano, then also basil, and other things I can’t quite remember while sipping my margarita.
Tomorrow—at 6:43pm EST sharp—we deal with the rest of the global mess.
Don’t miss it. G😏B
The Iranian Navy announces that it forced a British destroyer to change course in the Gulf of Oman yesterday evening
The British vessel was about to enter the Persian Gulf to provide intelligence data to guide Israeli missiles. An Iranian drone issued warnings to change course or be struck; the ship then turned around.

"Trump Says He Decides What 'America First' Means: Trump Says in Atlantic Interview - If Iran Gets Nuclear Weapons, There Will Be No Peace
"To those people who say they want peace, I say: there can be no peace if Iran has nuclear weapons. So all these wonderful people who think that nothing should be done about Iran having a nuclear bomb - this is not about peace."
We spoke on his 79th birthday, hours before he was scheduled to speak at a military parade marking the 250th anniversary of the U.S. Army. At the end of our conversation, he said he had to wrap up the conversation — he had a call coming up for Vladimir Putin, who continues to escalate his attacks on Ukraine and has largely ignored U.S. efforts to end the fighting.
"What's happening in Ukraine is something that shouldn't have happened and wouldn't have happened under my watch. It's Biden's problem, not Trump's. I'm trying to stop it," he said around 10 a.m. "And by the way, I have a call with President Putin in three minutes."
"Iran should not have a nuclear bomb. It's that simple. And it doesn't matter whether it's Israel or not. Iran should not have a nuclear weapon," Trump said.
@Slavyangrad
🇮🇱Netanyahu - turned to Zelensky's rhetoric "we are defending the world from a common enemy":
This is an important mission. Right now, the Iranian regime is hitting civilian areas while we are hitting terrorists. This is not new. They have tried to assassinate President Trump twice. They have blown up American embassies. They have wounded and killed thousands of Americans with improvised explosive devices in Iraq and Afghanistan. They are burning the American flag. They are chanting, “Death to America,” endlessly. Our enemy is your enemy, too. And what we are doing now is confronting a threat that will eventually affect us all.

Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi:
China is clearly against Israel's violation of international law by using force against Iran. Diplomatic means to resolve the Iranian nuclear issue have not been exhausted, and there is still hope for a peaceful solution.
Israel's actions have seriously violated the purposes and principles of the UN Charter and the basic norms of international relations. In particular, the attack on Iran's nuclear facilities has set a dangerous precedent and could have catastrophic consequences.
