So not only has Iran brazenly lied about its ballistic missile range capacity, but this means it can probably hit the UK with them - and we have zero, I repeat ZERO, defence against these missiles. Very worrying.




Pane Babiši, dnes vám čtvrt milionu lidí vyslalo jasný vzkaz. Chtějí zemi, která je bezpečná, svobodná a hrdá na své místo v Evropě. Mají pro ni vizi. A od premiéra očekávají totéž. Nestačí jim báchorky. Nestačí jim rozeštvávání. Nestačí jim politika, jejímž vrcholem je radost, že sousedovi chcípla koza. Chtějí vládu, které jde o tuto zemi, nikoliv o vlastní prospěch. Otázka není, zda to slyšíte. Otázka je, zda vám to vůbec něco říká.

China has lashed Australia and New Zealand for “colonial-style arrogance” and accused the two nations of overlooking the “root cause” of the war in the Middle East after their joint statement condemning Iran’s missile and drone attacks.





According to the Wall Street Journal, citing multiple U.S. officials, Iran has targeted the joint U.S.-UK base at Diego Garcia in the Indian Ocean with two intermediate-range ballistic missiles (IRBM). According to the report, one missile failed in flight whilst the other was engaged by a U.S. destroyer utilizing an SM-3 interceptor, but a successful interception was not confirmed. None of the missiles hit the base. This is notable as Iranian long-range precision fires have not previously been publicly assessed as having the range to hit such a target as Diego Garcia, as the base is some 4,000 kilometers from Iran proper.





@DKThomp You completely ignore the enormous economic benefits of having American military installations, not to mention the security they provide, being on China's doorstep. And people take this analysis seriously?? Ah yes, anything anti-trump is hot!


🚨BREAKING: President Trump just EMBARRASSED China and Russia, saying Iran had their equipment but it was useless against the USA "I don't want to get too crazy here — not a contest...they had a lot of great equipment, Russian equipment, Chinese equipment!" "Equipment was USELESS against us. USELESS." "No force on earth can beat the American sailors or the American military." 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

Pretty good deal for the Trump administration. Hard to see them turning it down. 🇺🇸🇺🇦
