New Planet imagery from Russia, captured on April 18 2026, shows at least one fuel tank burning at the Syzran oil refinery after the overnight drone strike, with heavy smoke suggesting a second tank may also be on fire. Coordinates: 53.0893, 48.3878 #MizarVision #OSINT

New before-and-after satellite imagery from southern Lebanon made on 17th of April 2026 shows extensive destruction in Mansouri, Qlaileh, and Aazieh following Israeli airstrikes. The imagery highlights heavily damaged and completely destroyed homes and properties across all three villages, with entire sections reduced to rubble and impact scars. #mizarvision #osint

Bint Jbeil, southern Lebanon, before-and-after satellite imagery from today shows entire urban blocks reduced to rubble after Israeli strikes on what had long been considered Hezbollah’s southern stronghold. The comparison captures a stark transformation from dense city fabric to widespread destruction. 📍 Coordinates: 33.1205, 35.4335 #Lebanon #BintJbeil #Israel #Hezbollah #SatelliteImagery

@WhiteHouse Great market manipulation again 🙃 See you on open market in 2 days again 😂

A GREAT DAY FOR THE WORLD!

@RepPatHarrigan No way! 🙃

Can't say I'm surprised. China has been quietly backing Iran this entire conflict while telling us to our face they have clean hands. Every company in China answers to the Communist Party, and it is past time our foreign policy reflects that reality. cbsnews.com/news/us-intell…

@MizarVision Normal traffic is 130 ships per day

In the past 24 hours, 18 ships transited the Strait of Hormuz, including 12 inbound and 6 outbound vessels. Among them were 3 oil tankers, indicating that traffic has started to recover compared with the previous 24-hour period. On April 17, Beijing time, the Pakistani-flagged tanker SHALAMAR exited the Strait of Hormuz, becoming the first crude oil tanker to leave the strait since the U.S. imposed its blockade. The vessel had entered the Persian Gulf through Hormuz on April 12, Beijing time. The latest tracking imagery also shows large-scale U.S. naval and air activity in the area, including tanker aircraft, transport aircraft, reconnaissance aircraft, and other supporting assets.

Vessel traffic through the Strait of Hormuz between 17:00 on April 16 and 17:00 on April 17. For more details on the situation, including U.S. Navy activity, aerial refueling aircraft, transport aircraft, reconnaissance aircraft, and other supporting assets.

@ChinaSelect We call US using illegal semiconductor production to attack other countries for crude oil

Today, @ChinaSelect released a new investigation detailing how China uses legal and illegal means to build its own semiconductor production and the development of artificial intelligence. The investigation found that China: ◾️Remains the largest market for chipmaking equipment despite restrictions. ◾️Lawfully procures large volumes of advanced AI chips. ◾️Utilizes sophisticated smuggling networks to acquire restricted AI chips. ◾️Extracts frontier capabilities from American AI developers through industrial-scale fraud. chinaselectcommittee.house.gov/media/press-re…

@RepPatHarrigan Ahh stop 😒

China is not a neutral party in this conflict and never has been. They are funding Iran, shielding Iran diplomatically, and apparently now providing the targeting data that puts American lives at risk. At what point do we stop pretending otherwise?

New high-resolution satellite imagery shows the aftermath of the Ukrainian drone strike on the Russian oil facility at Tuapse on the Black Sea. The images capture a massive smoke plume rising over the site, with fire and heavy disruption visible across the refinery area. The Tuapse facility is one of Russia’s key oil assets on the Black Sea coast. 📸 @vantortech

New high-resolution satellite imagery shows the center of Ainata in southern Lebanon after the large-scale demolition carried out by Israeli forces yesterday. The imagery reveals extensive destruction across the town center following the latest operation near the border. #mizarvision #osint #lebanon

@MT_Anderson There is no ships in the port where you marked them. Both Sentinel-2 and Copernicus show that there is no Russian ships or other

What a coincidence, just as the US leaves, look who might be regaining a foothold in 🇸🇾Tartus again... (hint 🇷🇺)

Latest satellite imagery from April 16th shows Ayta El Chaab in southern Lebanon before and after Israeli airstrikes, revealing widespread destruction across the town. The before-and-after comparison indicates severe damage across built-up areas, with entire blocks reduced to rubble and large sections of the settlement visibly erased. Ayta El Chaab lies near the Israel–Lebanon border and has been one of the locations repeatedly affected during cross-border fighting and airstrikes.

@ChinaSelect @AirbusSpace Enjoy! x.com/i/status/20448…

A Chinese firm, MizarVision, posted detailed satellite imagery of U.S. forces in the Middle East while not disclosing its data sources. @ChinaSelect analysis found @AirbusSpace satellites had multiple daily windows, up to 10 hours, where they could have captured imagery of U.S. troop positions before the Iran conflict. That imagery later appeared online via a China-based AI company. "These documented facts present a troubling scenario: 1. A Chinese firm with undisclosed satellite sourcing published precise, annotated imagery of U.S. military assets at a specific base. 2. That imagery identified the exact aircraft types that were subsequently destroyed in a precise Iranian strike. 3. A technical analysis suggests Airbus Space satellites were the most plausible sources for that imagery,” concludes Chairman @RepMoolenaar. chinaselectcommittee.house.gov/media/press-re…

New satellite imagery made by MizarVision appears to show the USS Gerald R. Ford operating in the Mediterranean as it approaches the Suez Canal. The imagery, paired with AI-assisted analysis from MiEntropy, tracks the carrier’s movement across the eastern Mediterranean during its continued deployment. The USS Gerald R. Ford has been operating for months across the Mediterranean, Red Sea and Middle East theater, and its movement toward the Suez highlights the carrier’s continued role in regional U.S. naval operations. #MizarVision #OSINT

New satellite imagery shows Chinese vessels positioned at the entrance to Scarborough Shoal, with a floating barrier again visible across the access point. The April 10–11 image appears to show multiple Chinese ships inside and around the shoal, including vessels near the narrow entrance channel. Scarborough Shoal lies within the Philippines’ exclusive economic zone, but China has maintained de facto control there since 2012. The latest imagery suggests not just a continued presence, but active restriction of access in one of the region’s most sensitive fishing grounds. The move comes as tensions in the South China Sea continue to rise and joint Philippine–U.S. military activity expands nearby.

New high-resolution imagery from Russia shows the aftermath of a major strike on the Tuapse oil refinery. The refinery, located in Krasnodar Krai (approx. 44.10224, 39.08491), was hit on April 16, triggering a large-scale fire and extensive damage to energy infrastructure. Satellite analysis indicates the ignition point within the refinery complex, with multiple thermal anomalies detected across key operational zones, including storage tanks and processing units. A massive smoke plume is visible spreading over a wide area, suggesting sustained burning and significant disruption to refinery operations. Additional data from satellite monitoring systems (including NASA FIRMS and commercial providers) confirms ongoing fire activity and heat signatures across the site, pointing to prolonged impact on fuel production capacity.
