🇺🇸🇮🇷 Sec. Hegseth on Iran: "We negotiate with bombs."

🚨🇬🇧🇮🇷 The UK's Royal Navy is looking into chartering civilian ships to help clear Iranian mines in the Strait of Hormuz. They would act as minehunting “motherships”, deploying drones from their decks to seek out and destroy hidden underwater explosives across the Gulf. Years of chronic underfunding have left the Navy with only 25 fighting ships in service, and several out of action for maintenance. The British Empire once ruled the oceans; now, they'd struggle to rule a pond. Source: The Telegraph

🚨🇺🇸🇮🇷 IRGC Admiral: We have just one message for the American soldiers: "Come closer."

🇮🇱🇮🇷 More footage from Tel Aviv, caused by Iranian ballistic missiles.

🇮🇱🇮🇷 scenes from Bnei Brak, Tel Aviv. Residents are fleeing into the streets following the massive Iranian missile strike.

🇮🇷🇺🇸 Reza Pahlavi's adviser reacts to Trump saying Iran agrees to 'never' have a nuclear weapon: "40,000 people did not die for a nuclear deal. They died for freedom, for democracy."

🇺🇸🇮🇷 U.S. is quietly prepping possible boots on the ground moves inside Iran Planners are gaming out paratroopers seizing Kharg Island (90% of Iran’s oil exports), Marines grabbing key islands around the Strait of Hormuz, and special forces raiding nuclear sites. Why this is important? This jumps way past airstrikes into direct land ops. Geopolitical turning point: Day 25 and “no boots on the ground” is suddenly looking flexible. Could force Iran to fold fast or turn this war into a full-blown regional nightmare. Source: War Monitor

Meta's 2Africa undersea cable project just got put on hold. Can't safely lay cables in the Red Sea or Persian Gulf while Iran is at war. This project was supposed to bring internet to 3 billion people and add $36.9 billion to Africa's GDP. The war's costs go way beyond oil prices. Source: Bloomberg / Meta

Cool, well Grok will get even better every week!

Israel's Defense Minister just threatened to flatten South Lebanon the same way they did to Gaza How the hell does this idiot wish to get rid of Hezbollah with dumb statements like this? Most Lebanese people want Hezbollah gone, and the Government is cracking down. But when you say shit like this, you turn the people against you, and you fuel groups like hezbollah Let's hope he doesn't mean this statement, otherwise this is barbarism

🇺🇸🇮🇷 The 15-point plan is on the table The U.S. sent Iran its terms through intermediaries: dismantle all three nuclear sites, end enrichment on Iranian soil, suspend the missile program, cut off every proxy, and reopen Hormuz. In return, sanctions lifted and American assistance with civilian nuclear energy. This is essentially the same deal Trump offered before the war started. Four weeks of bombing, 13 dead Americans, $12+ billion spent, 1,400+ Iranian civilians killed, and the offer on the table is almost identical to the one Tehran rejected in February... Iran's new leadership says it wants more now, specifically compensation for the destruction. Trump says they've "agreed they will never have a nuclear weapon." The gap is narrowing but the hardest part remains. Iran won't accept zero enrichment. Trump won't pay reparations. And Netanyahu is still bombing while everyone else is negotiating. The deal will live or die on whether creative language can bridge the distance between what both sides need to tell their people back home. Source: WSJ

🇮🇱🇷🇺Israel didn't just hit Iran's Caspian port. It sent Russia a message. Last week's strike on Bandar Anzali was Israel's first ever on the Caspian Sea, and it wasn't really about sinking Iranian ships. That port handled 300,000 artillery shells and a million rounds of ammunition flowing from Iran to Russia in a single year. Ships regularly went dark, killing transponders to avoid tracking while hauling Shahed drones that Russia uses on Ukrainian cities and Iran uses on Gulf airports. Israel carefully avoided naming Russia in its statement. Netanyahu has spoken to Putin multiple times recently. Israeli jets won't touch Russian vessels on the route. But the message was unmistakable: we know what's moving through here, we can reach it, and we just proved the Caspian isn't the sanctuary you thought it was. The route also carries wheat. Disrupting it threatens Iran's food supply alongside its weapons pipeline. Source: WSJ

🚨🇮🇷🇺🇸 Strikes reportedly hit Alborz Industrial City in Qazvin, a hub linked to Iran's military production.

🚨🇰🇵 Kim Jong-un won North Korea's parliamentary election with 99.93% of the vote. The real mystery is who the 0.07% voted for and whether they're still alive...

🇺🇸🇮🇷 American cluster weapons make Iran's look primitive The U.S. packs 88 grenades into a single 155mm artillery shell that a howitzer can fire 30 km. Each grenade arms itself mid-air through centrifugal force, then punches through nearly 3 inches of armor on impact while simultaneously scattering lethal fragments in every direction. Over 100 countries banned these weapons. Source: AI Telly
