— 🇮🇱 Hebrew Media: 'Over the past days, Israel has tried frantically to stop escalation with Hezbollah and to prevent war. On the other hand, Hezbollah says 'hello, welcome' and is not interested in de-escalation'

— 🇮🇷☢️ David Albright, President of the Institute for Science and International Security:

Iran’s installation of 1400 more IR-6 cascades in Fordow creates 3.6 times more capacity and provides the regime with the capability to breakout quickly in a deeply buried facility, a breakout capability it has never had before.

After Iran finishes this recent centrifuge expansion at Fordow, Iran could breakout and rapidly accumulate a growing stock of WGU and nuclear weapons equivalents:

– In the first one-third of a month, Fordow could produce 92 kg of WGU, enough for three nuclear weapons (assuming 25 kg WGU used per weapon);

- By the end of first month, it could produce a total of 145 kg of WGU, enough for five nuclear weapons;

- By the end of the second month, it could produce a total of 225 kg of WGU, enough for nine nuclear weapons.

— 🇮🇷 WATCH: In today's round table election discussion, Mohammad Faseli, advisor of the main Reformist candidate Masoud Pezeshkian, angrily leaves the studio and throws his microphone at Pezeshkian after a personal dispute

@Middle_East_Spectator

Yet another reason not to vote for the Reformists.

Imagine these people running a country for 4 years.

⚡️MUST WATCH: The Yemeni Armed Forces published a video showing the operation where 2 of their kamikaze drones struck the “TUTOR” ship that was bound for the ports of the Zionist entity.

The ship is definitely not in a good condition.

— 🇵🇸 Dear subscribers, our newest aid distribution for the people of Gaza 💚

For the holiday of Eid al-Adha, five sheeps were slaughtered and the meat was distributed among the camps, to the children and the needy.

A censor has been put on the video because it shows the Halal slaughter of the sheeps by cutting their throats.

Through the link in our pinned post, you can donate to the GoFundMe which keeps this campaign going. We organize this together with our friends at Mediterranean Man (@Medmannews).

A possible incident at Zahedan Airport, Iran.

A loud explosion was heard by locals.

Our source confirms no security incident has taken place as far as we are aware.

All reports are circulated by opposition media, situation is calm.

The explosion was likely the result of a generator malfunction in the electric company located near the Airport.

— 🇸🇦/🕋 NEW: More than 1100 pilgrims have died on the Hajj pilgrimage in Saudi Arabia due to the intense heat wave

@Middle_East_Spectator

I fully blame Saudi Arabia.

Hajj is literally the one thing they are responsible for, and they cannot even organize it properly.

They make it expensive as shit, but don't even give basic medical attention or amenities to the pilgrims.

The decision on Lebanon has been made.

War.

🇺🇸 🇮🇱 🇱🇧 Talks over the last 24-48 Hours between Senior Israeli and U.S. Officials, has reportedly caused “Extreme Concern” among several Members of the Biden Administration, who believed that an Israeli Campaign against Hezbollah in Southern Lebanon, likely Opening with by a Large-Scale Air Campaign over Lebanon and Southwestern Syria, is now Imminent and could begin at any point over the next Three Weeks.
