➡️According to the German military’s lobbying group, the newly created 45th Armored Brigade was formally activated during a ceremony outside Vilnius. A temporary headquarters was established, with the brigade's crest unveiled and the unit now officially under the command of Brigadier General Christoph Huber.

“We have a clear mission: to ensure the protection, freedom and security of our Lithuanian allies on NATO’s eastern flank,” Huber told dpa, the German press agency. “In doing so, we also protect NATO territory — and Germany itself.”

Maybe they'll all end up in a swamp like those 4 americans

The United States is ready to consider expanding the number of countries that host NATO nuclear missions, said Dan Caine, who US President Donald Trump has tapped to be his Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff.

"From a military perspective, expanding NATO allies’ participation in the nuclear deterrence mission in some capacity would enhance flexibility, survivability, and military capability. If confirmed, I will work to evaluate the cost/benefit of such a decision," Caine said in written answers to questions from US lawmakers ahead of his confirmation hearing in the US Senate Committee on Armed Services.

⚔️Which Iranian missiles and drones can wipe US bases in the Middle East off the map?

President Trump has threatened to bomb Iran in a manner “the likes of which they have never seen before” unless a new nuclear deal is agreed.

The US has over 60 bases, garrisons and shared facilities dotting the Middle East, from Naval Support Activity Bahrain (home to the Fifth Fleet) and Al Udeid Air Base (CENTCOM’s forward HQ), to other naval, air and ground facilities in the Gulf, Oman, Iraq, Jordan, Syria and Turkiye.

In the event of war, all would be in range of Iran’s missiles and drones.

Ballistic power
🟠Qiam-1/2: 800-1,000 km range, 750 kg warhead
🟠Haj Qasem: 1,400 km range, 500 kg warhead
🟠Kheibar Shekan: 1,450 km range, 500 kg warhead
🟠Emad: 2,000 km range, 750 kg payload
🟠Ghadr-110: 1,600-2,000 km range, 1,000 kg payload
🟠Khorramshahr: 2,000 km range, 1,800 kg payload, MIRV-enabled

Cruise capabilities
🟠Abu Mahdi: 1,000 km range, 410 kg warhead
🟠Paveh: 1,650 km range, payload unknown
🟠Soumar: Precision strike missile with 2,500-3,000 km range, 410-700 kg payload

Long-range drones
🟠Kaman-12: 1,000 km range, 100 kg payload
🟠Shahed 129: 1,700 km range, armed with four Sadid-1 precision missiles
🟠Mohajer-6: 2,400 km range, carries precision-guided munitions
🟠Shahed 149: 2,500 km range, 13-bomb payload up to 500 kg

Besides raw firepower, Iran’s potential comes down to geography and resolve.

🔶Permanent access to the Persian Gulf and Gulf of Oman coastlines means that in wartime, Iran can dominate the waters around the Strait of Hormuz, the strategic chokepoint through which 30% of the world’s oil trade passes.
🔶The Zagros Mountain Range hugging the country’s southwest provides a natural barrier difficult for enemies to penetrate, with many underground missile bases and air defense sites situated at hardened mountainous facilities.
🔶Iran has also demonstrated that it will not allow aggression to stand, whether it comes to US spy drones violating airspace, or US assassination attacks targeting its commanders.
