An hour ago: The Israeli army has pounded Hezbollah positions, including a building serving as the headquarters of Shiite terrorists affiliated with the IRGC in Deir al-Zahrani [southern Lebanon].

Other than the USMC officer dress blues, the US military has a collection of the ugliest military uniforms on the planet. If Trump could actually do even one thing to right that ship, this is be a massive step in the right direction: (second image is for a more detailed look)Pouria Zeraati: No dignity left for the Quakeists...
No dignity left for the Quakeists :)) Important/ The Financial Times reported that the United States, while simultaneously engaged in attacks with the Islamic Republic, conducted a secret four-month mine-clearing operation in the Strait of Hormuz. Most of this operation took place at night; U.S. Navy special forces divers, robotic boats, and underwater systems were searching for mines and neutralizing them. Unmanned vessels equipped with sonar would first locate the mines, and then divers or robotic submarines would detonate them.

.@realDonaldTrump administration is built on lies, Israel’s occupation of Palestine is built on lies - Huckabee is clueless. The evidence of abuse, of genocide of ethnic cleansing of the targeting of children, aid workers and journalists - of mass starvation…..is simply overwhelming. And still people like this seek to deny it. Outrageous. @Ed_Miliband is right to call this out. How on earth is it 'Jew Hating’ to stand up for the Palestinian people, in the face of this US sponsored onslaught.

Update :- In a further escalation of the conflict in the Middle East - Iran's IRGC says it has struck 6 ships in the Strait of Hormuz in response to the US sinking of an Iranian oil tanker.

Vice President of Le Pen’s party saying recently if they take power they will “cut the tap” towards Ukraine. Given how central an Ukraine supporting alliance with France has been in our post-Trump approach to geopolitics the government needs urgently to start thinking what could be coming in 2027 through.Pouria Zeraati: Peelings are on the way...
Peelings are on the way/ BB Netanyahu: 'The end of this regime is near. It has been weakened, it is struggling to survive, and it is severely shaken.

CENTCOM Commander's Message to the Regime Coinciding with the Release of the Video of the US Attack on the IRGC Tanker Near Kharg: "If you fire on two of our ships, we'll hit three of yours." "Pete Hegseth," the US Secretary of War, reposted this video and wrote: "It's very simple: if the Islamic Republic fires on American ships, we'll destroy their tankers and send them to the bottom of the sea." Dust on your head, you Quiverer, Hormuz is lost too…

The corruption around the Ukraine war is endemic and it’s one reason our Governments can’t allow the the war to end as there would be calls for an investigation into who stole the money. The UK alone has already given £30bn of taxpayers money to ‘Ukraine’. How much of it has been diverted elsewhere ?
Cameron Hudson: This story is wild and is a real...
This story is wild and is a real reflection on the callousness of US policy. "Four Cubans, one Brazilian and one Cameroonian refused to disembark in the Liberian capital Monrovia on 20 August; some of them were allegedly assaulted by ICE agents, who returned them to the plane and promised they would be taken back to the US. A few hours later, however, they were dropped off in another African country: Equatorial Guinea, one of the world’s most repressive and corrupt regimes, where armed men took them to a former luxury hotel turned detention centre in the capital, Malabo, where they have been held ever since."Andrew Bridgen: This is interesting news...
This is interesting news and it will send a chill through the bones of the tax evading ‘elites’. If President Trump’s administration can do this to the Iranian leadership they can do it to all the off-shore tax haven users and money launderers. Many of them will be sweating in the UK. The U.S. says the tens of billions siphoned out of Iran by the Islamic Republic’s ruling class are no longer safe, as it comes directly for the personal wealth they stole from the country. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent says the United States has mapped the offshore system used by senior Islamic Republic officials, IRGC figures and their families to hide enormous wealth abroad, and he is threatening to freeze it. “We know where in the British Virgin Islands your accounts are at these trust companies. We know the $100 million houses you have around the world, and we are going to freeze those.” Bessent has previously said the Islamic Republic’s inner circle was siphoning roughly $400–500 million out of Iran every month, equivalent to billions every year, while the IRGC may also be skimming a massive share of the country’s oil revenues. And even figures from within the Islamic Republic are now undermining the regime’s constant claim that sanctions are responsible for Iran having no money. Iranian economist and former government adviser Saeed Laylaz put the scale of internal theft and capital flight far higher: “$40–50 billion is being stolen from Iran’s economy every year, and you’re still focusing on sanctions? This is capital theft and massive capital flight out of Iran.” The money is moved through offshore trusts, BVI shell companies, exchange houses, front traders, crypto wallets and family-controlled companies, before reappearing as luxury property and investments from London to Dubai. Treasury has already gone after regime-linked financiers and networks tied to properties across the United Kingdom, Germany, Luxembourg, Spain, Cyprus and the UAE, while Bessent says roughly $1 billion in Iranian crypto assets has already been seized. Now the pressure is becoming personal. Bessent says weekly bank sanctions are coming, while airline-leasing companies and businesses dealing with the IRGC are also being targeted as Treasury tries to choke the channels that move and replenish these fortunes. The contrast is staggering. The Islamic Republic blames sanctions for Iran’s poverty while people connected to the system siphon billions out of the same economy, hide it offshore and accumulate enormous fortunes abroad as ordinary Iranians watch their wages and savings collapse. Bessent says the objective is to “economically asphyxiate this regime.” That increasingly means not only cutting Iran’s oil and banking revenues, but finding the billions accumulated by the people running the Islamic Republic and freezing the accounts, trusts and luxury properties where they thought their money was safe. https://x.com/TrumpWarRoom/status/2094789366778368249Pouria Zeraati: Benjamin Netanyahu to the senior...

The Islamic Republic never imagined that someone who knows the filthy nature of the mullahs would come to power in America and give them a sound thrashing: Trump started the "tanker for tanker" policy last night; for every attack the IRGC carries out, America will strike the regime's own ships in return.
