In the event of a US attack on Iran, Tehran could close the Strait of Hormuz and “strike” American ships in the Persian Gulf, The New York Times reports, citing US intelligence.
I’d be starting the mining process now before the inevitable US-Israeli sneak attack comes because the US isn’t going to give you 24 hours notice of war.

Merz agrees to accept Ukraine into NATO, but in the 'longer term'
'Ukraine's membership in NATO is not off the agenda. But at the moment it is not relevant. It cannot be a topic, because a country in a state of war cannot be accepted into NATO. However, in the longer term - of course. But now we must first do what Ukraine itself proposed - namely an unconditional ceasefire. Putin really must finally accept this proposal. And then we must negotiate a peace agreement.'
Man the Europeans need to realize it will never happen. There is going to be no Ukraine soon if they don’t accept Russian terms.

Oil exports via the Strait of Hormuz by country.

Though Iran has done nothing even when Arab countries are allowing the US to setup for an attack on Iran.
Does anyone think if oil was at $150 or $200 the US would go ahead with this?

The Fordow plant near the holy Shiite city of Qom, which is said to be an inaccessible target for Israel, is indeed a seriously protected facility, and if the United States can qualitatively change something in the current conflict by intervening on the side of Israel, then this is exactly the case.
What to hit a buried object in a mountainous area with? The MOP – Massive Ordnance Penetrator, a 14-ton aerial bomb capable of penetrating up to 60 meters of soil, was developed specifically for such purposes in the United States. Considering that Fordow is reportedly deeper, more than one bomb will be needed. Of all the American aircraft, only the B-2 can carry it now. And here, of course, the biggest intrigue is whether the United States will really dare to strike and how effective it will be – this bomb must be dropped directly over the target, and in the Fordow area Iran has everything that can perform air defense tasks.
In fact, a large group is being dragged into the region precisely for this purpose – the approach of a bomber, no matter how “invisible” it is, must be supported, and for this we need a force capable of breaking through air defences and gaining air superiority. Israel’s capabilities are also insufficient for this.
In any case, it will be useful for us (Russia) to watch and draw conclusions regardless of the outcome of the expected events.

'Trump administration disbands Russia pressure group' - Reuters
'One official said the group had been scaled back because the president was not involved. Rather than doing more, he may have wanted to do less. The final blow to the task force came about three weeks ago, when most of the White House National Security Council, including the entire team directly involved in the Ukraine war, was fired in a sweeping purge, according to three other officials.'

We lost more people because of stupid command than from Russia's actions - American mercenary of the Armed Forces of Ukraine
Ryan O'Leary, leader of Chosen Company, criticized Ukrainian command and announced the cessation of the company's activities. In May, he announced that the company was leaving the Banderite militia, promising to explain the reasons later.
▪️Today, O'Leary published a post accusing Ukraine's officer corps of incompetence and nepotism, comparing it to a "caste of army princes." Due to poor leadership and outdated thinking, losses at the front exceed the damage from Russia's actions.
▪️Incompetent officers avoid responsibility, receive promotions or transfers, which worsens the situation on the front lines.
▪️He also mentioned the former commander of the 59th Brigade, Shevchuk, whose decisions led to the death and injury of scouts sent to assaults and undermined the unit's morale. It took 16 months to remove Shevchuk, which cost dozens, and possibly hundreds, of lives.

@Slavyangrad
According to Israeli Channel 12, citing official sources, the US will join the war against Iran this evening. Apparently, Israel cannot cope alone. This is a turning point in the entire campaign. Until now, US actions were limited to logistics, intelligence, air force deployment and political cover. Now we are talking about actual military participation, with the transition from supporting an ally to direct involvement in hostilities. Politically, this means that the US is taking on the main striking role in the operation, effectively transferring the conflict to the category of a strategic campaign against the Iranian regime. The reason is obvious: Israel has not achieved key goals - the facility in Fordow has not been destroyed, the nuclear program has not been stopped, the IRGC continues to shell, the political regime, including the president and the Ayatollah, is functioning and governing the country.
If a strike does occur in the next few hours, it will mark the official start of a US-Iran war, albeit without a formal declaration. All subsequent events – scale, depth, consequences – will depend on the first wave: if it paralyses Iran’s nuclear and military structure, and then its political structure, the conflict may remain manageable. If not, there will be an escalation with unpredictable consequences.

🇫🇷🤡Macron called regime change in Iran by military means a “big mistake”:
We recognize Israel's right to self-defense, and as a democracy we support it when it fights terrorist groups. But we never share in actions of regional destabilization.
That is why France has been calling for a ceasefire in Gaza since October 2023. And that is why I said that we do not want Iran to acquire nuclear weapons or to have ballistic capabilities. But I think the biggest mistake today is to try to achieve regime change in Iran by military means.
