Russian missiles and drones are hitting Ukraine's energy infrastructure harder and earlier in the year than in previous years, analysts say, and the Kremlin has broadened its targets to further damage the Ukrainian economy. cnn.it/3UJRcnc

The US has lost Iran’s nuclear program and is offering US$20 million and possible relocation for anyone who finds it. I mean, the obvious answer is: The US army claimed to have "obliterated" Iran’s nuclear facilities last year, so it’s gone, isn’t it?

The Zaporizhzhya Nuclear Power Plant (ZNPP) has once again lost all off-site power, forcing it to rely on emergency diesel generators for reactor cooling and other essential nuclear safety and security functions. The plant’s connection to its sole remaining external power line, Ferosplavna-1, was lost early this morning. It is the 27th such event during the conflict, underlining the continued precarious nuclear safety situation, IAEA @rafaelmgrossi says. The cause and location of the latest disconnection are not yet known. The IAEA team at the ZNPP has been informed that the plant currently has sufficient fuel reserves to operate a limited number of emergency diesel generators for around two weeks. DG Grossi stresses the importance of both restoring the ZNPP’s connection to the grid and increasing the amount of diesel fuel reserves available at the site.

Rupert Murdoch, the self-described saviour of Western civilisation, is silent on Trump’s misjudgments, corruption and erraticism. As our democracies endure a cruel cost of living crisis Trump created (Iran war) and his pro-Putin abandonment of Ukraine there is no contrition from this media proprietor.

BREAKING: The U.S. has reportedly started launching attacks on targets in southern Iran, with explosions reported across Qeshm Island, Bandar Abbas and the port city of Bandar-e-Jask, as fighter jets were once again spotted and heard over the region. A surface-to-air missile was launched from Bandar Abbas in an apparent attempt to intercept the aircraft. Further explosions were subsequently reported on Qeshm Island and in Bandar Abbas, with Iranian state news agencies Fars and IRNA confirming the explosions.
BREAKING: Iran is now reportedly moving anti-ship cruise missile launchers around Bandar Lengeh in Hormozgan province, potentially positioning them to target U.S. Navy-escorted vessels transiting the Strait of Hormuz, per Local sources. At the same time, U.S. military aviation is intensifying across the Gulf. FlightRadar24 shows at least six KC-46A Pegasus tankers and a U.S. Navy P-8A Poseidon operating over the region, with one KC-46A tracked close to Kish Island. The developments follow yesterday’s reported U.S. missile strikes targeting the Iranian air-defense launcher on Qeshm Island that had engaged a U.S. F/A-18 and was linked by Iranian reports to the downing of an MQ-9 Reaper.

Dr. Marandi just explained the ultimate blowback of the illegal war. Before the US and Israel started bombing, Iranians were split 50/50 on nuclear weapons. After the war? The overwhelming majority now want a bomb.

No one takes credit for mysteriously anymore. Even his supporters come now realize he’s just a fraud, and an incurable liar. I don’t see how he ever comesback from this self-inflicted debacle.
🚨🇺🇸🇮🇷 Trump says the $3 trillion stock market wipeout was the price of keeping Iran from a nuclear weapon Most analysts pinned Thursday’s sell-off on fears of Democrats going after Big Tech, but Trump blamed the election results and then tied it all back to Iran: “We lost about $3 trillion when they found out that the Democrats did well in the election... It had to do with the fact that we won’t let Iran have a nuclear weapon, so you always have to go with that first.” I guess Iran just became the answer to every question, including the ones about your 401(k).
