⏰ 00:16 SECONDS! That’s it. 16 seconds between rocket alert sirens and impact from an Iranian missile, as drivers forced to abandon vehicles mid-road in northern Israel.

IRGC Quds Force Commander Esmail Qaani says the “axis of resistance” is growing stronger and acting independently against the U.S. and Israel, with more operations to come. He calls unity across fronts the key strength of the Islamic world and “a nightmare for global arrogance and Zionism,” adding that recent actions have shocked enemies and that “greater surprises” are ahead.

Is there a steelman as to why Russia shouldn't align more fully with Iran and offer it 404 treatment in case of prolonged war v GAE? (high oil prices would make the funding costs manageable) How does its current hedging vis-a-vis 'Israel' benefit Russia in any substantial way?

Chinese and Russian fan boys so eager to take credit for Iran hitting a U.S. F‑35 fighter jet LOL. IRGC clearly announced that the F-35 was hit by an Iranian homemade system.

The interesting point here is that the F-35, despite being equipped with various sensors and missile approach warning systems, does not show any reaction such as flares or sharp maneuvers to evade the interceptor missile. The myth of stealth is officially over.
