“This could be the thin end of the wedge" The @AlboMP gov decision to send Australian military assistance to the UAE is as open ended as the objectives of the architects of the war, highlighting the potential for further involvement. My latest👇 open.substack.com/pub/joeljenkin…

After all the overreach, the unnecessary statements in support of war and genocide, all Australia had that wasn’t completely tainted by the ideological political class in Canberra, was sport. Not anymore.

🚨🇦🇺🇮🇷 Iranian female soccer player appears on Iranian TV describing how her team was interrogated by Australian border force. She says: "When they checked our passports, each of were taken into a room with a police officer. At first, when they took my hand and led me away, I was scared, but I told myself it’s okay. Then we sat down. The security agent called someone on a phone, and I realized they wanted to ask us again: 'If you go back, it’s will be dangerous... your country is at war, etc. They were asking a bunch of very strange questions, hoping I might say, 'No, I don't know. I am not sure of returning.’ They kept asking those same kinds of questions. He then asked me ‘Do you want to call your family? You can contact them right now to decide if you want to stay or not.' As soon as he said that, I told the lady (the translator), 'Tell him I don’t want to stay. Anyone who wanted to stay has already stayed.' I didn’t even let him finish reading the rest of his questions; I just said: ‘I want to return to Iran.' Right then, I got a bad feeling in my heart; I was an afraid they wouldn’t let me go back to Iran.” Will border force be doing this to every foreign sports player that comes to australia or everyone whose country is at war? Or is it only when Drew Pavlou says to?

The F-35 program has been a nightmare for Australia. From high sustainment costs, parts shortage and a difference in capability to what was advertised in the catalogue; the aircraft had been an overcomplex and overexpensive nightmare. Now it’s getting proven on the battlefield.

For the first time in HISTORY, an American F-35 jet has been hit. Iranian air defenses are hitting our best jets. Trump said today all of Iran’s defenses are destroyed.

This Netanyahu spotting is getting desperate. There hasn’t been enough non AI tinged proof that this man is alive.

Trump knew what happened. Just as Australia has outsourced its strategic thinking to Washington, Washington has outsourced its strategic doctrine to Israel, and Israel are a Jonestown with nukes acting out a messianic endgame. @AlboMP cant even speak a coherent sentence about this mess.

Australia’s fuel crisis is the fault of bipartisan governments who have stopped thinking of the sovereign interest, and leave us in a precarious position while supporting the war that got us here.

@boganintel When you call yourself an "independent" journalist, do you mean to say "typical saw-jawed Israeli shill"?

⚡️Qatar is telling Iran the hedging phase is over. That is the real signal. Qatar has spent years surviving by balancing. Keep the Americans close. Keep channels open to everyone else. Stay useful to every side and owned by none. Expelling Iranian military and security personnel means that model just failed under pressure. Once Ras Laffan gets touched, quiet coexistence stops looking like sophistication and starts looking like exposure. That is why this matters. Ras Laffan is one of the core gas nodes of the world. If Iran hit the energy spine and Qatar responded by throwing out Iranian security officials, then the conflict just moved one layer deeper. It is no longer only strikes, ships, and headlines. It is now about whether the Gulf states still believe Iran can remain inside the old tolerated-threat box. And deep down, the answer is starting to become no. Military and security attachés are part of the hidden machinery that lets enemies manage contact without saying so publicly. Expelling them means one of the pressure valves is being shut. It is a diplomatic downgrade, an intelligence downgrade, and a trust collapse in one move. Qatar would be saying that Iranian presence inside Doha is no longer something to manage. It is something to purge. That is a bigger shift than people think. Qatar is usually one of the softer nodes in the Gulf map. It mediates. It hedges. It buys room. If even Qatar is hardening, then the center of gravity in the Gulf is moving further against Iran. Fewer gray zones. Less balancing. Less room for clever ambiguity. More explicit alignment around protecting the artery and the energy base. That means the war is hardening into state-system consolidation. The real truth is simple: If this is real, Qatar just moved from hedging around Iran to hardening against it. That is a serious escalation.

🚨 BREAKING: 🇶🇦 🇮🇷 Qatar’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs has declared all Iranians working in the military and security attachés offices in Doha as persona non grata, ordering them to leave Qatar and return to Iran within the next 24 hours. This happens after the Iranian ballistic missile attack against QatarEnergy’s Ras Laffan Industrial City. Source: @sentdefender

We’ve set up a new Fuel Supply Taskforce, led by Anthea Harris. Working with states and territories, the taskforce will make sure fuel gets where it’s needed most. It will bring together experts and industry to protect our fuel supply, and make sure we have the latest information on supply and demand.

Zionist powerbroker Jeffery Epstein called jailed Pakistani Prime Minister Imran Khan "really bad news" and "a threat to peace". The US has just announced Pakistan as its greatest nuclear threat, in line with Israels objective to dismantle the country after Iran, and the lap dog puppet PM Sharif is giving the keys to PAK nuclear arsenal to the forces that seek Pakistan's Balkanisation.

If Saudi Arabia joins the US-Israeli war on Iran, it will activate its mutual defence pact with Pakistan and potentially lean on the South Asian country’s nuclear arsenal, a Saudi Arabian analyst told Canada’s CBC News middleeasteye.pulse.ly/f8on1tjgqp
