Reports of U.S. strikes on Iranian naval and missile infrastructure appear real.
But negotiations are going well
And a deal is almost done.
What a strategic genius we have running the war

BREAKING: It has now been confirmed that the U.S. Navy alongside the U.S. Air Force conducted a series of airstrikes against IRGC Navy, Iranian Navy, and Iranian Air Force military sites in Bandar Abbas, Qeshm Island, Larak Island, Sirik, and Jask during the early hours of Monday, May 25, 2026. The first strikes began between 03:00 and 04:00 local time, targeting IRGC Navy infrastructure and maritime warfare assets near the Strait of Hormuz. One of the main targets was south of Larak Island, where at least three IRGC personnel — Abbas Eslami, Ghodrat Zarangari, and Abdolreza Golzari — were killed. The operation reportedly targeted IRGC Navy mine-laying boats, missile launch positions, radar sites, coastal-defense batteries, drone facilities, ammunition depots, and fast attack craft infrastructure intended for operations in the Persian Gulf and Gulf of Oman. Several hours later, the strikes expanded toward Bandar Abbas. At approximately 23:40 local time, multiple explosions were reported near the airport, Iranian Air Force facilities, and military zones in the eastern side of the city. Iranian air defenses became active around 23:45 local time. Additional strikes were also reported around Sirik and Jask, both key locations for Iran’s coastal missile and maritime operations outside the Strait of Hormuz. The operation appears aimed at suppressing Iran’s maritime warfare capabilities, including naval mine deployment, anti-ship missile activity, maritime drone operations, and IRGC Navy swarm boat tactics. #OperationEpicFury #OperationLionsRoar

@GermanyDiplo You didn`t say what ambassador told you, is it gonna rain ?

@SociologenHD There is some people who appreciate your lies here on x, probably. When you start with " Russia started the war", everything else is not important.
English
Tell that to president Trump’s friend in Moscow.
Russia started the war. It stops when Russia ceases fire and retreats to behind the internationally recognized borders from 1991.
Department of State@StateDept
The Russian-Ukraine war needs to come to an end. The U.S. stands ready and prepared to facilitate an end to this war.

@YvetteCooperMP I think that Russia is gonna put sanctions on their oil and gass, export to Eu countries. Did you think about that? Iran, maybe.
English
The Kremlin will not evade our sanctions by hiding behind crypto networks and shadow financial systems.
The UK is tracking down and shutting off financial lifelines that sustain Putin’s war machine.
New sanctions will prevent safe havens for those enabling Russia’s aggression against Ukraine.

👾 SANCTIONED: Crypto and illicit finance networks exploited by Russia to circumvent UK sanctions. We are tracking down and shutting off the financial lifelines that sustain Putin’s war machine.

@FreeWayCS @UniqueMongolia Of course. Ukrainian drone is Ukrainian drone. 😉

@UniqueMongolia You should also read something about how Russian spoofers are aiming drones towards NATO territory. x.com/auonsson/statu…
auonsson@auonsson
One of the Russian GPS spoofers around St Petersburg sports what looks like an aim function. There is a realistic possibility this has been used to drive Ukrainian attack drones into NATO territory. So far, I only have two anecdotes to show for it, data collection ongoing. 🧵

Its all beginning to Fall apart !!!

Emergency secret negotiations have begun amid the possibility of an attack on Kiev and Russia's threats to "destroy" the capital — Politico
▪️On Monday, the head of the National Security and Defense Council of Ukraine, Umerov, held talks in Brussels, and today early in the morning he flew to Berlin.
▪️He will meet with national security advisers from Germany, France, and the UK in a closed-door format.
▪️Earlier, the Russian Foreign Ministry reported that Russian troops would strike targets in Kiev that are operating in the interests of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
▪️Recently, there have been rumors that Umerov has not been appearing in Ukraine for some time, as he fears being suspected by anti-corruption services, just like Yermak.

European loans for Ukraine are at risk: The Rada failed to pass the required bill
▪️The IMF and the EU are demanding that Ukraine introduce a bill on VAT levies on all parcels.
▪️There weren't enough votes even to send the document for a second reading.
▪️The introduction of VAT is one of the IMF's requirements for granting Ukraine another loan. The European Union is also demanding the introduction of a tax on parcels as a condition for granting a loan of 90 billion euros.

The German Foreign Ministry summoned the Russian ambassador over warnings to German diplomats to leave Kiev.
German diplomats stated that they "will not be intimidated" and will "strongly support Ukraine".

@gidonsaar You are doing that to yourself, wake up. Look what you are doing, are you blind?

The antisemitic display by the pro-Hamas group Mtl4Palestine in Montreal is horrific - hanging dolls representing Jews wearing kippahs, President Trump, Prime Minister Netanyahu and Minister Ben Gvir.
Antisemitic incitement on the streets of Canada is out of control.
It has led to an outrageous situation in which the Jewish population, just 1% of Canada, is the victim of 70% of the hate crimes. In 2025 alone there were 6,800 (!) antisemitic incidents, an average of 19 a day. The situation has continued to deteriorate.
The government of Canada must wake up now.

@Panchenko_X What of those killing innocent Ukrainians should also be arrested ,and Also Diana who is Kremlin mouthpiece should be arrested
English
In Russia, several deputy defense ministers been arrested for corruption. Their assets been seized by the state.
In Ukraine, all of Zelensky’s friends were stealing European and American money…
Everything is proven. There are recordings. No one is in prison.
Why?

@LithuaniaMFA UN charter ? Now is UN charter, are you trying to be funny?
English
Lithuania strongly rejects Russia’s threat to massively strike Kyiv and its notification to foreigners to leave the city. A protest note has been lodged with Russia. We are not going anywhere & stand with #Ukraine. The threat to use force is a blatant violation of the UN Charter.

@clashreport NATO weapons are entering Ukraine everyday from Poland and Romania.
Why are Ukrainian border crossings off limits?

Russian State Duma Defense Committee chairman Andrei Kartapolov says striking the Zelensky presidential office and the Verkhovna Rada makes no sense because neither is a real decision-making center:
Zelensky doesn't appear there. He sits in a bunker.
The office has two guards and five cleaners. Is there any point in wasting expensive munitions on essentially an empty place?

@PrivateCasidy @IranembTun They gonna add more to the list...+ more RQ-9 are shot. 13 bases are gone....+++ soldiers+++

@OlgaBazova Unbombed country asking other country which has been bombed for 5 years for advice on building bomb shelters
Do you not comprehend it or something? Are you slow?

The Baltic states are asking Ukraine to sell them bomb shelters to protect against Ukrainian drones.
You can't make this shit up.
