We hit a bridge that wasn’t in operation, and Iran replies by knocking out 65% of UAE gas processing + Kuwait desalination, likely either the Az-Zour (45%) or Az-Zour (20%) plants. See how this calculus works?

The Habshan gas facilities, the biggest gas processing site in the United Arab Emirates, suffered "significant damage" in an Iranian drone strike overnight. At least one worker was killed in the strike, and operations have been shuttered.

💥In a bombshell interview, Hungarian Army poster boy Captain Szilveszter Pálinkás reveals that Viktor Orbán’s son, Gáspár Orbán—also a soldier—claimed he had received a calling from God to save Christians in Africa. According to him, this was the reason Hungary planned to send 200 soldiers to Chad. Pálinkás also says that Gáspár Orbán told him he expected 50% of them—around 100 soldiers—to die during the mission. Back in 2024, we at @direkt36, together with @lemondefr, were the first to report that Orbán’s son was secretly behind the idea of a Hungarian military mission to Chad.

Just had a long talk with a former IAF commander on why Iran is managing to shoot down these US planes. He told me that since the 12 day war Iran has rethought its entire system after seeing how easily it was bombed. The new system is far better and more resilient and Israeli pilots have noticed how difficult it is to operate there now: 1) Each of Iran's 31 zones now has the authority to operate independently if central command is cut off, allowing local commanders to launch missiles and engage aircraft without waiting for orders from Tehran. That was a major problem for them in the past. 2) Recognizing that fixed sites are easily destroyed, Iran moved many of its restored air defenses into missile cities, deeply buried underground tunnels and rugged coastal terrain that serve as cover for mobile launchers. These targets are now hardened. 3) Since traditional radar gives away a system's location, Iran has leaned into passive infrared (heat-seeking) sensors and new software algorithms that can track jets without emitting detectable signals. 4) Iran has increased reliance on mobile, medium-range surface-to-air SAM systems. Its mobility allows shoot-and-scoot tactics that make it difficult to target with pre-planned airstrikes. 5) Iran has moved away from Russian missiles to its own Bavar-373 which appears to be superior to the S-300 and possibly to the S-400 too. Recent upgrades include increased autonomy for launchers, allowing them to operate even if centralized command centers are destroyed. 6) They use new Majid system, which relies on passive infrared detection rather than radar. Because it doesn't emit radar signals, it is significantly harder for aircraft to detect before a missile is launched. 7) Most important, he confirmed to me that Iran is using HQ-9B, the best long-range surface-to-air missile China has to offer. It has both active radar homing and a passive infrared seeker. This makes it harder for aircraft to spoof the missile with standard electronic countermeasures and improves its ability to track stealth. It seems to be exceeding expectations. He told me, "the days when flying over Iran was a walk in the park are over." In sum, new tactics and a switch from Russian technology to Iranian and Chinese technology have turned Iranian airspace into a contested space. Air superiority there is gone. The IAF and USAF will have to adapt accordingly or lose more aircraft.

For all his faults, Netanyahu is a remarkable politician. He has managed to get not one, but two consecutive US presidents to destroy their own presidencies either as a result of his direct advice or simply to shield him. Unheard of.

@AmericaExpanded @AnalyticaCamil1 Also missile production. Iran doesn't need the equivalent of a Bradly or Abram's to be considered a real military. Thinking like this leads us into overconfidence. Any land invasion would be hell, and everyone knows it.

They're back to mid-2000s sectarianism and anti-Persian sentiment. Never forget that it was King Abdullah of Jordan and not AIPAC who came up with "Shia Crescent".

BREAKING: Jordan's parliament speaker calls for a post-war joint defense and economic treaty encompassing the Arab world to defend against Iran, who he says is considering reviving the Persian Empire and wants to incite Shiites across the Arab world

I don't mean to overdo the historic parallelism bit, but the Iran-Iraq War started with Saddam invading at what he thought was an opportune time of internal strife in Iran, only to run straight into an operational dead-end days into the war. He tried to sue for peace almost immediately, but Khomeini smelled an opportunity to forge a new regime in war and conquest. He in turn overplayed his hand to where the entire Gulf aligned against him. To counter them, he kicked off a transnational wave of terrorism and proliferation etc etc etc

Iran just added a new ceasefire demand: full sovereignty over the Strait of Hormuz. Not peace. A business model. At $2 million per tanker, that is $800 million a month. Extracted from a waterway Iran has no legal right to toll. Rubio called it illegal. Iran called it leverage. Oil hit $126 a barrel and proved them right. The burning tankers are not the story. The toll booth is. Gandalv / @Microinteracti1

@policytensor The Arabian plate is converging with the Eurasian so the Hormuz strait will close by itself in a few millions years effectively rendering this entire issue irrelevant.
