— Well Mr. Rubio, I have a bit of scripture for you myself:

وَلَا تَحْسَبَنَّ ٱللَّهَ غَـٰفِلًا عَمَّا يَعْمَلُ ٱلظَّـٰلِمُونَ ۚ إِنَّمَا يُؤَخِّرُهُمْ لِيَوْمٍۢ تَشْخَصُ فِيهِ ٱلْأَبْصَـٰرُ

'Do not think that God is unaware of what the wrongdoers do – He only delays them until a Day when their eyes will stare in Horror'

[Quran 14:42]

— 🇷🇺/🇮🇷 We saw the first use of an Iranian Shahed-238 suicide drone in Ukraine

The Shahed-238 is an upgraded version of the Shahed-136 (Geran-2) which uses turbojet propulsion instead of a propellor, increasing its speed & decreasing its sound.

The Shahed-238 was revealed by the IRGC for the first time in 2023, and it seems our Russian friends have already received it.

— 🇮🇷/🇮🇱 BREAKING: IRGC Naval Forces seize the Israeli-linked ship “MSC ARIES” in the Strait of Hormuz – AP

@Middle_East_Spectator

— 🇮🇷/🇮🇱 NEW: The vessel has been redirected into Iranian territorial waters, after special forces landed on the ship

@Middle_East_Spectator

— NOTE: Unless these actions continue, making it a FULL blockade on the Strait of Hormuz for Israeli shipping, then this is NOT Iran's retaliation yet.

— 🇮🇱/🇮🇷/🇺🇸 Hebrew Media: 'The Iranians with this action have sent a clear message to the US; if you intervene on behalf of Israel, we will close the Persian Gulf just like the Red Sea'

@Middle_East_Spectator

— 🇮🇷/🇮🇱 NEW: An exclusive source tells me this is not the anticipated Iranian response to Israel, but a 'symbolic signal' that the economic arteries of the West can be cut at any time, after Western nations including the U.S. pledged their support for Israel
