🇮🇶 ❌️ 🇺🇸 A statement issued by the Islamic Resistance in Iraq:

In the name of God, the most gracious, the most merciful

“Permission is given to those who fight because they have been wronged, and indeed, God is Able to grant them victory.”

In continuation of our approach to resisting the American occupation forces in Iraq and the region, and in response to the Zionist entity’s massacres against our people in Gaza, the Mujahideen of the Islamic Resistance in Iraq attacked the occupied Ain al-Asad base in western Iraq with a missile salvo, and the Islamic Resistance confirms its continued destruction of enemy strongholds.

(And victory is only from God. Indeed, God is Mighty, All-Wise)

We might see a full-scale Israeli attack against South Lebanon in the next few weeks, possibly even days.

This week, many of the IDF reserves that were pulled from the Gaza Strip will be arriving on the Northern front.

Israeli media have been subtly changing their focus from Gaza to Lebanon, and officials have been stressing to the media that Lebanon is now a priority, and that they can no longer tolerate the status-quo.

Netanyahu is more unpopular than ever before. He's under extreme pressure from the opposition and Gallant with his supporters. All the signs that something major is about to happen, are now in place.

— 🇺🇸/🇮🇷 U.S. Central Command's Full Statement on two deceased Navy SEALs:

'We regret to announce that after a 10-day exhaustive search, our two missing U.S. Navy SEALs have not been located and their status has been changed to deceased. The search and rescue operation for the two Navy SEALs reported missing during the boarding of an illicit dhow carrying Iranian advanced conventional weapons Jan. 11 concluded and we are now conducting recovery operations.

During this expansive search operation, airborne and naval platforms from the U.S., Japan and Spain continuously searched more than 21,000 square miles to locate our missing teammates.

Search assistance was also provided by Fleet Numerical Meteorology and Oceanography Center, the U.S. Coast Guard Atlantic Area Command, University of San Diego – Scripts Institute of Oceanography, and the Office of Naval Research – Oceanographic Support.

Out of respect for the families, no further information will be released at this time.'

— 🇮🇷 🇮🇷 Iran's Space Program: A Cover for ICBM testing?

In recent months, Iran has been launching a large amount of satellites into space, using several different SLV (Satellite Launch Vehicle) rockets.

One of these SLVs in particular, the Qaem-100, a three-stage solid-fuel rocket, looks and functions very similar to an ICBM in development, epecially after its recent modifications.

When Qaem-100 was revealed in 2022, as well as the version that was used while unsuccessfully launching the 'Nahid' satellite in 2023, it had a rounded tip. Additionally, the rocket also featured roll-control thrusters.

In Qaem-100's new launch, which took place two days ago while sucessfully putting the 'Soraya' satellite into 750km orbit, we can see that there have been several modifications to the rocket.

Firstly, the tip of the rocket has become sharpened. This is typical in the design of long range missiles such as ICBMs. Second, the liquid-fuel roll thrusters have been omitted, to improve the missile's shelf life and decrease maintenance. Lastly, four stabilizing fins have been added, a common feature found in ICBMs.

While Iran has always been interested in expanding its space program for scientific and civilian purposes, it is likely that the launch of SLVs, in particular the Qaem-100, are a cover for testing a preliminary ICBM model. The launching of satellites is an added bonus.

This, in combination with Iran doubling its production of highly enriched U-235 uranium to 9kg a month, poses a real challenge to Israel and the United States, who now have to deal with Iran being a latent nuclear power.

For those who don't know, ICBMs are long-range ballistic missiles capable of carrying nuclear warheads and striking almost anywhere in the world.
