'MOSSAD SPY' takes refuge in UKRAINIAN EMBASSY — Lebanese security urge 'HAND OVER' — LBCI

Overnight, 38 Ukrainian drones were shot down again over the Leningrad region.
Drone strikes again hit the port of Ust-Luga, which has been under attack for almost a week, with strikes occurring daily? Can't Russia defend its territory? Okay, let's assume it can't. But Iran has provided a relevant example of how to respond to such strikes, whether carried out with the help of or from other countries' territories: strikes must be launched against those countries!
What's wrong with Russia? Is Russia willing to capitulate or fight? There's no middle ground. Russia is very slow to make decisions. But a nuclear strike against it will force Russia to think faster. Apparently, Russia is waiting for such a strike. We'll wait, too.
‘Of course this administration and the US armed forces will always act within the confines of the law’ — Leavitt when asked about WAR CRIMES
'BUT with respect to achieving the full objectives of Operation Epic Fury, President Trump is going to move forward UNABATED’
The US has used more than 1,000 JASSM missiles in Iran, each costing $1.5 million, Bloomberg reports, citing a source.
Meanwhile, defense company Lockheed Martin can only produce a maximum of 860 of these missiles by 2026.
The Intercept previously reported that Washington's spending on the conflict with Iran could reach trillions of dollars.

The Persian Gulf states' anti-missile stockpiles are running low, Bloomberg reports.
Since February 28, the Persian Gulf states have expended approximately 2,400 interceptor missiles. The vast majority of these expended interceptors were Patriot PAC-3 and GEM-T missiles, of which the Gulf states had fewer than 2,800 before the war, the agency notes.
Lavrov held a videoconference with colleagues from Bahrain, Kuwait, Oman, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, the UAE, and Jordan, as well as the Secretary General of the Gulf Cooperation Council, the Russian Foreign Ministry reported.
🔺 The root cause of the unprecedented escalation in the Middle East is the senseless aggression of the US and Israel against Iran.
🔺 Russia calls for an immediate cessation of hostilities and advocates for a political and diplomatic solution.
🔺 Moscow supports the sovereignty and territorial integrity of the Arabian monarchies, with whom Russia maintains strategic relations.
🔺 It is unacceptable to drag these countries into someone else's war, and it is unacceptable to attack their civilian infrastructure.

Frankly, I'm shocked. Who does the last point of Lavrov's statement refer to? Iran? Will Russia teach Iran how to fight? However, if Russia fought the way Iran does, that is, by striking Ukraine's allies who are assisting it in its war against Russia, this war would have ended long ago, and we would have forgotten that Ukraine ever existed! Iran has declared that it is and will continue to strike the Gulf states that the US is using in its war against Iran. And Iran has every right to do so. Those who fearfully and tremblingly insist on upholding international law, while their enemies ignore it, are doomed to defeat. If the Kremlin hasn't realized this yet, they will after the nuclear strikes on Russia.
The Donald Trump administration wants a nuclear war in the Middle East. It's considering transferring uranium enrichment technology to Saudi Arabia, Bloomberg reports, citing documents. Or perhaps this is an attempt to make amends with the Saudis. Last week, Trump said Prince Salman should kiss his ass and became the subject of memes.

Iran isn't afraid of war. Iran always keeps its word and backs up its warnings with action.
Satellite images have been published showing fires at two oil pumping stations on the Habshan-Fujairah pipeline, which connects the Habshan oil field in the emirate of Abu Dhabi with the port of Fujairah on the Gulf of Oman coast.
Thus, the bypass of the Strait of Hormuz for a US ally is not going unnoticed by the Iranians.

'The vessel is currently awaiting unloading at the port of Mansas' — Russian Transport Ministry
Zelensky is planning another offensive. Are you surprised? Don't be.
Analysts are concluding that Kiev's Special Operations Centers are, on Kiev's orders, attempting to conceal the accumulation of reserves for an attempt at a counterattack to recapture some of the lost territory before the beginning of autumn.
Experts disagree on their assessments, but one thing is clear: with the necessary amount of motorized vehicles, as well as NATO armored vehicles previously withdrawn to the rear, such an attempt is feasible. Especially since Kiev's plans to mobilize up to 1 million troops by 2026 have not been cancelled.
REPORTER: We just heard from Iran, again, they’re saying no negotiations are taking place… How do you explain that discrepancy?

A curious opinion has emerged regarding the tactics Iran has chosen to strike US infrastructure in the Middle East.
Initially, missile defense radars in Jordan and Qatar were attacked, then in Saudi Arabia and the UAE. Simultaneously, space communications facilities in Bahrain were struck, hampering the transmission of large volumes of intelligence.
In response, the US deployed E-3 Sentry aircraft to the region to quickly receive information about Iranian launches, but this type of weapon is also under threat following the strike on Prince Sultan Air Base.
While the destruction of all aircraft has not yet been achieved (it is unclear why, although Iran has the capability), it is already clear that US satellite and airborne reconnaissance capabilities may not be sufficient to effectively continue the campaign in Iran.
As a result, the effectiveness of the entire operation against Tehran risks being significantly reduced. Whether Iran is planning such actions independently or receiving external assistance remains a mystery.

Iran considers Ukraine a participant in US and Israeli aggression against Tehran in light of the deployment of Ukrainian counter-UAV experts to Arab countries, stated Iran's Permanent Representative to the UN, Amir Saeed Iravani.
✔ TASS
Perhaps the Russian Foreign Ministry will ask Iran not to strike Ukraine? After all, the Foreign Ministry says it is unacceptable to drag other countries into the conflict 😂
They didn't expect it! The world is full of idiots...
American officials didn't expect Iran to respond to US and Israeli attacks on the scale they encountered, a senior State Department official told ABC.
"I don't think anyone could have predicted this scale (of Iran's retaliatory strikes)," the anonymous official told the channel.
The official also added that the US had never previously encountered Iranian retaliation on the scale seen during the current escalation.

Trump threatened to destroy Iran's key infrastructure if the talks failed, simply as retaliation for the lost war.

Donald will still succeed in achieving regime change – but in America, not Iran – Mary Trump
"No kings," Trump's niece added, using the well-known slogan of anti-Trump rallies.
Every war doesn't go according to plan. No matter how damn good it is. It's axiomatic.
But to hell with the Americans. We've been at war for four years now, and we're still missing "surprise" strikes of the "they wouldn't dare" variety. They "didn't dare" attack the Kursk region, they "didn't dare" strike the oil export terminals... The list of "they wouldn't dare" is long. They wouldn't dare launch a nuclear strike on Russia. They wouldn't dare? So what else is Russia waiting for? 😡
Zelensky declared that Russia must surrender:
"America said that the negotiating team is not leaving the United States of America right now. We are ready to support the United States, we are ready to support meetings in Switzerland, Turkey, and wherever our partners are ready. The ball is now in the hands of the United States and Russia. I am very grateful to America for continuing this format.
God willing, we will have this opportunity in the coming weeks. I don't think the negotiations have reached an impasse. What should we do? Let Russia surrender—we will not. We must organize a trilateral meeting and move forward diplomatically. We must do at least everything to achieve this. And to be strong at the negotiating table, we must be strong on the battlefield."
So, instead of presenting Ukraine with an ultimatum to capitulate and proving that it can achieve Ukraine's capitulation by force, Russia has instead endured shameful demands for Russia's surrender from the vile Nazi Zelenskyy. What else is Russia waiting for? 😡🤡
"I'm absolutely not sure anyone in the US knows what international law is. Maybe a couple of people have read the UN Charter," said Vyacheslav Nikonov, a member of the Russian State Duma, after visiting the US as part of a Duma delegation and meeting with members of Congress.
"Talking to them about international law is completely pointless. The US acts as its national interests dictate."
And their national interests, as we know, extend to the entire world. And the US acts, disregarding any international law, in order to subjugate this very world. So what, then, did the Russian State Duma deputies discuss during their visit to the US?
