BREAKING: Iran is now threatening to strike Israel's Sorek, Hadera, Ashdod and Ashkelon desalination plants; Haifa oil refineries; the Orot Rabin and Eshkol power plants; Ashdod oil refineries and fuel storage; the Dimona nuclear research center; and critical bridges and highway interchanges if Israel and the U.S. launch another attack on Iran, according to head of Iran's parliamentary National Security Commission.
Desalination facilities supply around 80% of Israel's municipal drinking water. Orot Rabin (2,590 MW) and Eshkol (912 MW) anchor the national grid. The Haifa refinery processes roughly 197,000 barrels per day, while Ashdod adds 110,000 bpd. Highway 6, the country's main artery, carries 260,000 vehicles daily. And Dimona sits just 13 kilometers from the city. Tehran is threatening to paralyze Israel's water, power, fuel, and mobilization routes in one blow.

BREAKING: The U.S. is now preparing for a massive bombing campaign against Iran as the USS George Washington is being heavily rearmed in the Arabian Sea, with sailors loading large quantities of munitions, including standoff land-attack missiles and bunker-buster bombs, per The Wall Street Journal citing U.S. officials.
In a rare visit aboard the carrier, WSJ reporter Shelby Holliday witnessed massive stacks of munitions boxes as American forces loaded large numbers of weapons and prepared aircraft for possible renewed military action, with U.S. officials confirming the military is positioning itself for a fresh wave of attacks.
The WSJ says they are the exact weapons needed for a campaign against Iran's underground nuclear sites and hardened military infrastructure.

World-leading cardiac surgeon Asif Hasan was surrounded by the children who received the gift of life thanks to his unerring skills at the emotional climax of another memorable Pride of Britain ceremony. 🥹
