The problem with this whole narrative of "did Iran pose a threat?" and "did they have nukes?" is that it doesn't matter. No answer justifies what Israel and America are doing. Deprogram your mind from this bullshit thinking.

If you think the Americans give anyone so much as a napkin -- never mind bombs and planes -- without a catch that works to their advantage and without knowing where it is at all times, I really don't know what to tell you. These attempts to extricate the US from Israel are becoming obscene.

This witch is about to go steal more gas from the Leviathan basin isn't she
Ursula von der Leyen@vonderleyen

Timely meeting with @antonioguterres. Repercussions of the war in the Middle East are global, and it is our responsibility to work for de-escalation and a diplomatic solution. The EU and its Member States are the largest contributor to the @UN. We are strongly committed to upholding international law and building a world where multilateral cooperation prevails.

⭕️Iran Shot Down A US F-35 Fighter Jet Over Its Skies Video footage of the interception released. A major blow to the image of Donald Trump, who claimed that Iran’s air defences were destroyed on day one of the war.

PSA: if you're a journalist in a war zone, get in touch and hopefully we can do something about your cybersecurity setup so you're harder to track.

Like I told you guys, all European and NATO countries are providing intel, logistics, and cover in dif ways, but some additional details: x.com/LakenheathAfP/…

@richimedhurst The UK, Germany, Italy, Portugal and others allow F-35, F-22, F-15s as well as C-17s and KC-135 refuelling planes to fly over their territories as they deploy in the Middle East. Not allowing a few B1s to overfly is just about public perception not keeping out of the conflict.

US bombers that leave from the UK to strike Iran, have to fly around Europe -- not through it -- because no one will let them use their air space except us. How shameful and embarrassing to be directly participating in this. Keir Starmer is a mass-murderer from Gaza to Tehran.

I think the Yanks knew Iran was going to release it and tried to get ahead of the story with their usual "everything else in the universe except being shot down by Iran was responsible for the plane's return to the surface"

Yeah, that doesn't look like something that would be capable of an "emergency landing" without significant linguistic gymnastics involved.

American planes have a way of finding their way to the ground that is somehow never directly attributable to successful AD but to friendly fire, emergency landings, or otherwise... Take it with a big pinch of salt.

Americans are claiming an F-35 had to make an "emergency landing" after being clipped by Iranian air defenses.
