🇺🇸⚡️🇮🇷 U.S. is weighing the deployment of up to 10,000 additional ground troops -- potentially including infantry, armor, and logistics units -- to West Asia (Middle East). This would add to the roughly 50,000 U.S. personnel already in the region, which includes multiple aircraft carriers and Marine units.

🇮🇷 Khatam al-Anbiyaa Headquarters:

We will not allow any exports or imports to continue in the areas of the Arabian Gulf, the Sea of Oman, and the Red Sea.

The continuation of America's illegal actions in the form of a naval blockade is a violation of the ceasefire agreement.

Iran will act forcefully to defend its sovereignty and national interests.

We will not tolerate any U.S.-led naval blockade against Iranian oil tankers and commercial ships.

🇺🇸 🇮🇷🇨🇳 Trump posts on Truth Social: China is very happy that I am permanently opening the Strait of Hormuz. I am doing it for them, also - And the World. This situation will never happen again. They have agreed not to send weapons to Iran. President Xi will give me a big, fat, hug when I get there in a few weeks. We are working together smartly, and very well! Doesn’t that beat fighting??? BUT REMEMBER, we are very good at fighting, if we have to - far better than anyone else!!! President DJT

🌟 ❌❌❌ Hezbollah missile barrage launch at Kiryat Shmona

⚡🇺🇸 We now have confirmation that a US Navy MQ-4 Triton ISR drone crashed on April 9th.

Another ~230 million USD gone.

Likely downed by Iran.

I forgot to post about this, but a very interesting event occurred yesterday.

4 Russian Tu-22m3 strategic bombers launched 8 Kh-22/32 cruise missiles at a target in the village of Prykolotne, Kharkiv Oblast. All missiles impacted something in this village, and several Russian reconnaissance drones were operating in the area at the time. Residents reported hearing very strong explosions that made houses "jump".

Strikes like this with expensive, strategic missiles on frontline targets are extremely rare. Prykolotne is only 16 km from the frontline. Additionally, Ukrainian authorities completely ignored the event, with the Ukrainian Air Force even omitting its existence from their daily report on Russian missile and drone usage.

In the Kupyansk direction, both Russian and Ukrainian forces have advanced.

In the southeast, Russian forces continued their assault operations west of Stepova Novosilka and managed to clear a fortified area south of the railway line. This has since forced the Ukrainians to begin withdrawing from the rest of the large salient southwest of Steopva Novosilka, with Russian forces now re-activating the southern flank of this salient in order to force a further Ukrainian withdrawal west.

To the northwest, the Russians continued advancing along the railway line from the east, capturing new fortified positions and reaching the eastern outskirts of Pischane. This, plus the Russian control over the western streets, forced the last Ukrainian holdouts to withdraw from the eastern part of village, allowing Russia to bring it under their full control.

To the west, Russian forces cleared the section of the railway line southeast of Kurylivka, and began infiltrating the industrial zone on the southern outskirts of the settlement. Other forces are infiltrating west towards Kupyansk-Vuzlovyi and southwest to the northeastern outskirts of Kivsharivka.

To the north, Ukrainian forces counterattacked east of Podoly, clearing a section of the southern part of Petropavlivka and linking up with soldiers entrenched in the eastern streets and the treelines further east. On the other hand, Russian forces continued advancing from the north, where they crossed the tributary of the Hnylytsya River and captured a section of the eastern part of the village, while other assault groups improved their positions in the village centre. They are also continuing their attempts at attacking Ukrainian positions in the southern part of the settlement from the east.

To the west, the Russians cleared the southern part of Holubivka from Ukrainian soldiers, partially reopening supplies to the Russian soldiers in and around the northern outskirts of Kupyansk. This has facilitated intensified infiltrations into northern Kupyansk along new routes, with Russian soldiers entering numerous streets in the northwestern part of the city. At the same time, partially due to Ukrainian redeployments elsewhere, Russian forces managed to re-establish some ground supply lines to the remaining Russian soldiers holding out in central Kupyansk, allowing for infiltrations to take place in the area of the Kupyansk City Central Hospital.

+ ~11.38 km² in favour of Russia.
+ ~2.58 km² in favour of Ukraine.

Russia has now launched its second part to today's attack, which is expected to involve more than 300 Geran-2/Gerbera drones.

Currently, approximately 60 new drones are detected in Ukrainian airspace, most of which appear to be flying to Kyiv Oblast. Repeated launches have taken place.

There is a threat of a large attack involving strategic aviation, the Black Sea Fleet, Iskander-M ballistic missiles, and other missiles of various types for the next 3 days as well.

Volchanskiye Khutora in the Kharkov region/direction is in good Russian hands...

Volchanskiye Khutora borders with the previously liberated city of Volchansk to the east. The nearest targets for Russia's "North" group of forces in this direction are the villages of Pokalyanoe, Zybino, Karayichnoe, and Volokhovka to the east. The last two are located at an important junction used by the AFU to carry out logistics on a significant stretch of the border with the Belgorod region. Control over these settlements will significantly complicate the enemy's ability to strike deep into Russian territory.

(368 settlements in the last 378 days)

🇱🇧 The Hand that Gives is Above the Hand that Takes

Yesterday the International Monetary Fund (world bank) stated a $1 billion dollar rapid relief loan was prepared for Lebanon. Such an amount would help the Lebanese government tackle many financial issues. But what were the conditions?

One of the conditions of this loan was the Lebanese government’s role in restoring order and authority in the state. It is no coincidence in the timing between the sit down in DC and the IMF loan. But what is important to know is the Lebanese state no longer speaks on behalf of Hezbollah and its right to resist an invading and occupying force. How can a state even discuss or consider a limited ceasefire when an opposing force is deep within its territory having killed thousands of its citizens. Such a government and its statesmen are only surrendering to save whatever remains of its territory and fill their own pockets. So how is Israel benefitting from the talks of a ceasefire?

A temporary ceasefire in Lebanon would only serve Israel 2 major benefits

1. Time to reinforce thousands of Israeli troops into southern Lebanon

2. Increase of hostilities between the Lebanese state and Hezbollah, knowing Hezbollah will not comply with such agreement

Hezbollah’s failure to comply with any agreement would now be personal with the Lebanese state. Instability on Lebanon’s end would cancel the $1 billion dollar deal with the IMF (world bank)

🇮🇷 After it was struck by a Zio-American bomb, Amin Abad bridge was rebuilt by Iranian experts in 4 days


Fars: Enemy missiles defeated by the will of Iranian experts

🔹 The American-Zionist enemy, hoping to paralyze transportation and damage our country's infrastructure, targeted one of the northwestern railway bridges known as Amin Abad Bridge.

🔹 But thanks to the efforts of domestic experts, it was repaired, restarted, and returned to service within 4 days.

Fars news

🇷🇺🇮🇷🇺🇸⚡The Russian Security Council confirmed that the ceasefire is a mask for US ground invasion of Iran.

Note: this is 100% correct

🇮🇱⚡️🇱🇧 Israel Hayom — owned by Miriam Adelson, one of the biggest Republican megadonors in America — just openly published: 'Israel has no choice but to re-establish a security zone, this time devoid of a civilian population.'

Let that sink in. A major Israeli newspaper is straight-up calling for the ethnic cleansing of southern Lebanon. How deranged and sick do these Zionists have to be to publish this genocidal article like it's normal policy???
