— ❗️🇮🇷 BREAKING: The Supreme Leader of the Islamic Republic, Ayatollah Sayyed Ali Khamenei, will lead Tehran's Friday Prayer, and give an unpredecented speech Oct. 4

The last time the Supreme Leader personally led Friday prayer and gave a sermon speech was in January 2020, after Iran's missile strikes on US bases in Iraq after the assassination of General Soleimani.

Reminder, the Supreme Leader will give a historic speech tomorrow before leading the Friday prayer in Tehran's prayer hall.

— ❗️🇮🇱/🇱🇧 Another angle of the attack

— Based on the situation, the israelis lack certainty about the whereabouts of Sayyed Safi al-Din, so it targets many areas that it suspects where Sayyed is likely to be.

— ❗️🇮🇷/🇮🇱 NEW: U.S. Analysts from the Center of Naval Analyses (CNA) have identified 32 direct hits on Israel's Nevatim airbase in the Negev, with several ballistic missiles impacting directly at the protective hangars of Israel's F-35 'Adir' jets.

Detailed closeup imagery is not yet available to fully assess the damage. The satellite imagery from Tel Nof airbase, which was also struck by Iran, has not been released yet, and the damage is likely severe.

On another note, while the damage at Nevatim might not look severe, Iran used 'airburst' warheads, which don't leave large craters but sling shrapnel in a large radius, effective against soft targets like jets.
