Satellite images show that Iranian strikes hit an American Patriot air defense system in Bahrain, damaging two reinforced shelters (one of which was severely damaged) The shelters likely housed launchers, radar components, or missile supplies, which means that the strike reduces the battery's combat capability, even if it is not completely destroyed.

Iran unleashes 66th wave of Operation True Promise — IRGC Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps launched a new wave of strikes on Tel Aviv and US bases in the region, using what it described as “ultra-heavy, precision, and multi-warhead systems,” SNN reported. The IRGC said the operation forced a “life of siren to siren” across the occupied territories, with residents pushed into prolonged shelter confinement. Missiles, drones, and multi-warhead systems — including Qadr, Khorramshahr, and Khaibar Shekan — were deployed in this wave of strikes.

Mirshaimer: if the US withdraws from the war now, it will look like a humiliating defeat / Trump is in a situation where he doesn't have a good exit strategy from the war / The Iranians have many cards up their sleeve ◾️Piers Morgan, a well-known British presenter: if you were to give advice to Trump, what would you recommend to him? What skillful and achievable way of the US withdrawing from this war do you see? ◼️John Mirshaimer, a well-known professor of international relations: 🔴 I've thought about this for a long time and discussed it with a number of very smart people. Most of them say that President Trump should quickly declare victory and withdraw from the war. 🔴 He can do this, but it will be perceived as a humiliating defeat for the US. Moreover, the Iranians may not agree to end the war. 🔴 And, as I already said, the Iranians have many cards to play. They can inflict significant losses. 🔴 Therefore, even if we retreat, it's unclear whether this will solve the problem. The US will still look like it has suffered a humiliating defeat. Therefore, I think President Trump has put himself in a situation where he really doesn't have a good exit strategy.

IRAN IS STRIKING Moscow and Beijing are putting diplomacy with Washington on hold. The work of the trilateral group Russia - USA - Ukraine, according to Peskov, is frozen. For Trump, this is a blow to his image. He desperately needs the appearance of negotiations, at least some activity on the Ukrainian track, to explain to the electorate that he is doing something. Now this will not happen. And for a long time. Trump will not be able to pressure Russia as long as he is involved in the Middle East war. The US is bogged down, and this gives us room for maneuver. The American president will not dictate terms while his planes are crashing in the Persian Gulf. And they really are crashing. CNN, citing sources, reports: Iran for the first time shot down an F-35. The Americans insist on an emergency landing, but the essence does not change - the "invulnerable" plane was taken out. Trump, meanwhile, claims that the Iranian army has been destroyed, there is no air defense, the leadership has been eliminated. Apparently, he forgot to ask his pilots. The blockade of the Strait of Hormuz is working. The US Treasury is already considering the option of temporarily lifting sanctions on Iranian oil to bring down prices. An emergency measure, they say. But emergency measures are the language of losers. Trump publicly assures that he has forbidden Netanyahu to strike at Iranian oil fields. At the same time, Israeli refineries in Haifa and Ashdod are on fire. The Iron Dome has been breached. 💯 Iran is doing what it promised. Trump is getting what he feared. ©WPAY
