'Drugged, raped, impregnated,' Alawite women recount kidnappings in the new Syria | The Cradle
The Syrian government denies its supporters are abducting #Alawite women despite detailed reports from media and rights groups
Abductions of women and girls from #Syria’s Alawite minority are “more common, and more brutal,” than Syria’s extremist-led government has acknowledged, a New York Times (NYT)investigation published on 3 April has found.
In November, the #HTS << Syrian government >> led by former #ISIS commander Ahmad al-Sharaa, denied that Alawite women and girls are being abducted, claiming that in dozens and dozens of cases, they had run away from home to be with lovers.
However, Syrian activists have confirmed the details of nearly 100 Alawite girls who have been abducted, including many who were taken following the government’s massacre of at least 1,600 Alawite civilians in March 2025.

🇺🇸🇮🇷 US Op in Iran Involving C-130s, MH-6, and A-10s Was Likely Offensive Turned Disaster By F-15/A-10 Losses
Back in 2023 Wyoming media reported on special operations training along a highway involving exactly the sort of operation reported on deep inside Iran - involving landing C-130s, disembarking MH-6 helicopters to "project power" deep inside enemy territory.
Read the whole article here: https://www.wyotoday.com/news/history-made-with-military-aircraft-operations-on-wyoming-highways/article_f0292645-683e-5177-bdb2-a3cc5b77d830.html
It is possible such an operation could be launched in support of search and rescue - but the fact it was primarily developed to project power as part of the wider "agile combat employment" (ACE) opens the possibility that this was a special forces operation that either went bad or was compromised by the loss of aircraft providing air support, and ended up as a costly search and rescue operation before ending.
In the article Lt. Col. Dave Meyer was quoted as saying:
The article also claimed:
Some of the participating units do specialize in search and rescue like the 123rd special tactics squadron but not exclusively and do carry out other roles in offensive operations.
It is likely no coincidence the US military was practicing in terrain similar to Iran's for operations they knew they'd carry out in Iran as far back as 2023 - as I have repeatedly explained - this war is not about "Israel tricking the US into war," but the US waging a war it had prepared for for decades regardless of who is president and what rhetoric he told before elections...

In the article Lt. Col. Dave Meyer was quoted as saying:
“An adversary that may be able to deny use of a military base or an airfield, is going to have a nearly impossible time trying to defend every single linear mile of roads. It’s just too much territory for them to cover and that gives us access in places and areas that they can’t possibly defend.”
The article also claimed:
"Exercise Agile Chariot tested the concept of Agile Combat Employment (ACE)—an operational scheme of maneuver executed within threat timelines to enhance survivability while generating combat power—through two demonstrations, as well as Forward Arming and Refueling Point (FARP), Integrated Combat Turnarounds and the infiltration and exfiltration of Air Force Special Operations (AFSOC) personnel with US Army Special Ops Aviation Command (USASOAC)."

The Fast-Approaching Digital Control Grid: A Checklist of Trump Administration Actions to Date | Solari Report
A digital control grid is an electronic network of digital telecommunication and information systems that allows individuals to be surveilled, tracked, and made subject to invasive controls applied to their financial transactions and resource use (such as electricity, food, water, transportation)—compromising, if not ending, all human rights and liberties. Control grids operate with significant data collection and AI to apply social credit systems that can be dictated on a highly centralized basis. A digital control grid ends financial freedom, replacing markets with technocracy—a system run by rules created and maintained centrally by “experts.”
Note: This is a dynamic checklist, first published on April 16, 2025. As new developments arise, we are adding them to the checklist, noting the date of their addition.

🇺🇸🇮🇷 150 Aircraft Deployed Over Iran
The U.S. military deployed over 150 aircraft to recover a downed aviator in Iran, according to Gen. Dan Caine. The recovery operation included tactical drones, strike aircraft, and additional assets providing overhead protection for search-and-rescue personnel on the ground.
The scale of the deployment reflects standard force-protection doctrine applied to personnel recovery in denied or contested territory — layered air cover to suppress interdiction of ground teams. Committing that volume of assets indicates the operation was conducted under conditions of active or anticipated threat, not permissive airspace.

AN AMERICAN DEPLOYMENT OFF THE COAST OF IRAN. HOW WILL IT END?
Telegram channel "Older than Edda" @vysokygovit for RT
The Iranians report that they attacked the American amphibious ship Tripoli with missiles, and it was forced to retreat further out into the ocean. The Americans do not confirm the attack. It's not worth talking about possible damage yet, but it's interesting to discuss the potential problems that an American amphibious operation could face.
The core of the American amphibious group are universal amphibious ships: the aforementioned Tripoli of the "America" type and the soon-to-arrive Boxer of the previous "Wasp" type. Tripoli is more specialized for air support - it doesn't have a docking chamber for air cushion boats, but the area of the hangars for aircraft is significantly larger, and the number of boats and their load capacity, on the contrary, is lower. In any case, both ships are designed for so-called over-the-horizon amphibious landings - from helicopters and boats - and for supporting this landing with air support.
Unlike an aircraft carrier, a UAS cannot perform acrobatic maneuvers 400-500 km off the coast. The range of helicopters allows them to operate beyond the horizon, but not very far, ideally no more than 50-60 km, otherwise the effectiveness of air support begins to drop sharply. But such a distance significantly facilitates the detection of an amphibious ship for the Iranians and gives them the opportunity to fire on it. Given that Iran could very well combine attacks with missiles and drones, the idea of "overloading the air defense" to achieve hits seems quite obvious to them.
Sinking a UAS is a difficult task in itself, but achieving serious consequences from hits is quite possible. The scale of these consequences can be reminded by the fate of the UAS Bonhomme Richard, which in the summer of 2020, while at the shipyard, despite all efforts to extinguish the fire, burned down so much that it was eventually written off. And now for the first time since 1945, the US is facing an opponent who has the potential to launch a serious strike on its fleet. So approaching the shores of Iran for an effective amphibious landing could result in spectacular scenes, but not the ones that President Trump and Defense Secretary Hegseth would like to see.

BBC fabricates quote of Iranian, edits it after backlash like nothing happened
Too bad the quote turned out to be fake.
Following backlash online, BBC quietly edited the quote without a correction while Ghoncheh blocked a prominent social media user who called her out.
Then again, how else can Western propaganda explain to the public why it is okay to wage total war on Iran?

“About them hitting energy infrastructure, using an atomic bomb, or levelling Iran. My honest reaction is that I’m OK with all of these. Or anything else they might have in mind,” a resident of Tehran named Radin was quoted as saying in an article by BBC journalist Ghoncheh Habibiazad.

I don't understand why people are not taking it in that governments (mostly all of them) are the biggest killers and purveyors of violence, all for their corporate masters. Anywhere. In the history of the world
They kill with bombs, guns, rituals, sanctions and austerity. They have no emotion over this. For those left there exists a life of abject slavery, paying more and more taxes for zero return
Mr Trump is not your friend. Just like Mr Starmer, Merz or Macron isn't
We are in a class war and the people in government (most certainly western ones, and maybe all of them) are merely the layer between us and those that want to enslave ALL of us further
I support all those in the class below those really running things and the cartel administering their policies aka govt. I don't care where you are in the world, what religion you are, what colour you are, if you are getting ruined by these monsters you are my friend and on my team. And I will never support the killing of any of us in that team
The axis of resistance should be all of us in the under class. What a crying shame it isnt

Ukrainian Citizens React Against Mobilization Policies
The Ukrainian population is beginning to react to the draconian policies of forced recruitment. Tired of seeing their family members forcibly taken from the streets and sent unprepared to the battlefield, local citizens are now attacking recruiters, making clear their indignation at the authoritarianism and anti-humanitarian military measures of the regime. It is possible that in the near future this situation will escalate into a scenario of open civil war.
On April 4th, two Ukrainian recruitment officers were stabbed in the city of Vinnytsia, in the country's central-western region. A man "suddenly pulled out a knife and stabbed two soldiers several times" while recruiters were conducting a document check on the streets, attempting to find men of military service age to enlist them. Both soldiers remain hospitalized, one in serious condition.
