— 🇮🇷 Islamic Republic Air Force F-4 Phantom ll launches an Iranian-made 'Nasr' anti-ship cruise missile, known as the CM-35 in its export variant, during exercise in the Persian Gulf

The homing missile has a range of 35km with a 130kg warhead, and can be used against naval and ground targets.

It is considered a replacement for the US-made AGM-65 Maverick, the IRIAF's main air-to-ground missile for close air support since the 1970's, which has been phased out since 'Nasr' introduction years ago.

Note that the 'Nasr' (CM-35) missile can be air-launched but also from ships, trucks, etc. The air-launched variant is designated as CM-35A.

— 🇮🇷/🇮🇱 IRGC Commander-in-Chief, Hossein Salami, in tonight's speech:

– The Zionists should not think that they can hit us and run away, they will definitely get hit and cannot escape.

– The nightmare of anticipating Iran's decisive response shakes the Zionists day and night.

– The Zionists will experience the bitter taste of revenge for their evil actions and will see when, where and how.

– Iran's response will be in a different way than before, and soon you will see the mystery unfold.

@Middle_East_Spectator

He didn't say 'French' btw, he referred to it as 'Frankish vocabulary trying to find its way into Persian'.

This could also refer to other Western European languages in a more general sense, including English.

— 🇮🇱/🇸🇾 Local source:

'Three waves of strikes were launched from Israeli fighter jets above Lebanon and the Mediterranean Sea, many projectiles were intercepted by air defense upon entering the Syrian coast, in Tartous and Hama.

Several of the missiles did penentrate Syrian airspace and hit the Scientific Research Center in Masyaf.'

@Middle_East_Spectatir

— 🇸🇾 NOTE: Despite the hype by some, only one target is confirmed to be struck, the Scientific Research Center in Masyaf

These strikes to me do not seem much larger than we have seen in the past year.

Sorry guys this is the only 'news' right now. Hopefully interesting stuff happens soon.

He will remain in jail for the night.
