❤️🔥 Iranian leadership is moving their money OUT of Iran per Secretary Bessant.
"We can see is we are seeing the rats fleeing the ship!"
"We can see millions, tens of millions of dollars being wired out of the country, snuck out of the country by the Iranian leadership!"
"So they are abandoning ship, and we are seeing it come into banks and financial institutions all over the world."
"What we do at Treasury is we follow the money!"

@shanaka86 Grok what special resources might @shanaka86 have that makes this report credible?

Everything you are about to read happened in the last 24 hours.
The USS Gerald R. Ford arrived off Israel. The USS Abraham Lincoln is conducting underway replenishment 850 kilometers from Iran, loading munitions and fuel for sustained combat operations. MizarVision satellite imagery shows four F-22 Raptors positioned on the active runway at Ovda Airbase in Israel. Not parked. Not sheltered. On the runway. That is hot-launch posture.
The US State Department ordered evacuation of non-essential employees and families from the embassy in Baghdad. Separately, the US Embassy in Jerusalem approved evacuation of non-essential staff from Israel. Two American embassies, two countries, same order, same day.
Israel began opening public bomb shelters in Beersheba, Tel Aviv, and Raanana. Hundreds of IDF reserve soldiers were called up for the air defense command. Yediot Ahronot reported the callups today. You do not activate air defense reserves unless you expect inbound missiles.
Al-Udeid Air Base in Qatar, America’s largest air operations center in the Middle East, is completely empty of refueling aircraft. Tankers do not vanish from their home base. They disperse to secondary locations before operations begin so a single Iranian missile strike cannot destroy the refueling fleet on the ground. Empty tarmac at Al-Udeid is not absence. It is distribution.
37 fighter jets landed at RAF Lakenheath in the last 24 hours. 12 F-35As. 12 F-15E Strike Eagles. 13 F-22 Raptors. They are expected to depart for the Middle East soon. The staging base is reloading heavier than the first wave that sent Raptors to Israel four days ago.
Two carriers in position. F-22s on hot runway. Tankers dispersed. Embassies evacuating from both sides of the theater. Bomb shelters opening in three Israeli cities. Air defense reserves activated. Strike aircraft staging in England. Supply ships topping off a carrier strike group within missile range of Iran.
This is not buildup. Buildup is what happened last week. This is final positioning. Every asset is where it needs to be for the first 72 hours of a campaign. The only thing missing is the order.
Tomorrow Oman’s Foreign Minister meets Vance carrying Tehran’s answer. After Friday’s sermon declaring enrichment sacred and six governments evacuating their people, we know what that answer contains. And we know what follows when Washington receives it.
The clock no longer reads days. It reads hours. open.substack.com/pub/shanakaans…

Russia leaked America’s war plan to Iran. Then sold Iran the weapons to survive it. And almost nobody is talking about what it means when you read them together. The New York Times and Politico report that on February 20, Russian intelligence delivered a fully developed US strike plan to Tehran. Target matrices. Launch platforms. Timing sequences. The entire campaign architecture handed to the IRGC while Geneva talks were still being scheduled. The foundational advantage of every air campaign since Desert Storm, surprise, was eliminated by Moscow with a single transmission. Six weeks earlier, December 2025, Russia quietly signed a €500 million arms deal with Iran. The Financial Times obtained the contract details. 500 Verba MANPADS launchers. 2,500 advanced 9M336 missiles. The most significant air defense transfer to Iran since the S-300, negotiated through Rosoboronexport specifically to rebuild what Midnight Hammer destroyed last June. One country told Iran exactly what America plans to hit. The same country sold Iran the weapons to defend against it. The deal was requested in July after Iran watched its air defenses get shredded. The leak arrived in February as the next campaign assembled. Whether coordinated by design or converging by logic, the effect is identical: Iran now knows what is coming and has the hardware to contest it. Now add China. Reuters confirmed this week Beijing is nearing transfer of CM-302 supersonic anti-ship missiles to Iran. Mach 3. Designed to kill Aegis destroyers. While simultaneously photographing every American base, every carrier departure, every F-22 on Israeli tarmac, and publishing annotated imagery on Weibo in Mandarin. Russia provides the intelligence and air defense. China provides the anti-ship missiles and real-time surveillance. Iran receives the strike plan, the weapons to contest the sky, and the missiles to threaten the fleet. No formal trilateral alliance. No treaty. Three powers independently ensuring an American strike costs the maximum possible. Why would Russia, with 2 million citizens in Israel, 15 percent of the population and $3 billion in annual trade, arm the country sworn to destroy Israel? Putin answered this himself June 2025: Israel is “almost a Russian-speaking country.” The leak targets America, not Israel. The Verba missiles shoot at American aircraft, not Israeli ones. Degrade US power projection without endangering the diaspora. Russia and China do not need Iran to win. They need America to spend. Every Tomahawk fired at Isfahan is absent from a Taiwan contingency. Pentagon insiders admitted 7 to 10 days of munitions. Moscow and Beijing are ensuring those days cost the maximum in precision stockpiles that take years to replenish. Iran is not being defended. Iran is being instrumented. Armed enough to bleed. Informed enough to prepare. Equipped enough to threaten. Not enough to win. The optimal outcome for Moscow and Beijing is a war America wins at a price it cannot afford to pay twice. Tomorrow, Saturday February 28, Oman’s Foreign Minister meets Vice President Vance in Washington carrying whatever Tehran authorized after Geneva’s most intense session yet. Technical talks move to Vienna next week. The diplomatic clock is still running. But the intelligence damage is already done. Russia has already told Iran what is coming. China has already armed the fleet threat. The strike plan is compromised. The defenses are rebuilding. The anti-ship missiles are transferring. The question is no longer whether America can strike Iran. The question is whether a campaign the enemy has already read is still worth launching. open.substack.com/pub/shanakaans…
