🇱🇧 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)

🇮🇱⚡️🇱🇧 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???

🚨🇮🇷 How Iran Fixed 6 Bombed Bridges in 72 Hours?
The US and Israel hit key rail bridges on Iran's Tehran–Tabriz and Tehran–Mashhad corridors. Within just three days, Iran has repaired them, and the damage was patched and traffic had resumed.
This is not just luck but a pre-planned strategy.
They built exact replica spans — concrete and metal — and stored them right next to each bridge. When a strike hit, crews cut out the destroyed section and lifted the spare into place with heavy cranes. No waiting months for factories.
🔸Bridge Data
The six bridges were critical chokepoints. Tehran–Tabriz line handles 7 million tonnes of freight annually, linking Iran to Turkey. Tehran–Mashhad line carries 15 million passengers a year.
Strikes hit spans near Zanjan, Bostanabad, Shahrud and Neyshabur — ranging from 20 to 45 metres. One bridge lost a full 25-metre girder.
Replacement spans were concrete box girders weighing 40–80 tonnes, stored within 500 metres of each site.
🔸On the Ground
Airstrike damage is always messy. Chunks of concrete blown off mostly and Joints knocked out of alignment. Iran's approach was simpler:
🟠Make spare parts before you need them
🟠Keep them close to where they'll be used
🟠Prop up what's still standing, run quick checks
🟠Open at low speed, fix the rest properly later
This isn't temporary. Iranian defense engineering has turned it into a deliberate strategy.
Other countries are watching. If you're a military planner, you now assume your enemy can do this too. That changes the calculus — blowing up a bridge might buy you 72 hours, not six months.
The question shifts from "how do we rebuild after a strike" to "how many spare spans do we stockpile before the strike."

IN THE FIRST 48 HOURS OF THE U.S. BLOCKADE ON IRANIAN PORTS
No ships have gotten through, and about 9 vessels were “ORDERED TO TURN AROUND” and head back toward Iranian areas.
At the same time, Reuters reports say Iran might allow ships to move freely through the Oman side of the Strait of Hormuz “WITHOUT RISK OF ATTACK” as part of proposals to the U.S.
Note: source Reuters (take this with a bag of salt)

🇮🇷 Iran Army Executive Deputy, Brigadier General Sheikh: Army's destructive drone production increased 10 times.
The production rate of our destructive drones in the 7 months after the twelve-day war was 10 times that of the period before it. All operational plans executed in the third imposed war were written by the martyr Lieutenant General Mousavi 7 months before this war and communicated to all forces including Aerospace and the Army. If the enemy wants to carry out an operation again, the Islamic Republic system will undoubtedly counter it with the foresight it has previously made.
