President Donald Trump: Yet again, an intentionally misleading headline by the Fake News Media about the five tanker planes that were supposedly struck down at an Airport in Saudi Arabia, and of no further use. In actuality, the Base was hit a few days ago, but the planes were not “struck” or “destroyed.” Four of the five had virtually no damage, and are already back in service. One had slightly more damage, but will be in the air shortly. None were destroyed, or close to that, as the Fake News said in headlines. The New York Times and The Wall Street Journal (in particular), and other Lowlife “Papers” and Media actually want us to lose the War. Their terrible reporting is the exact opposite of the actual facts! They are truly sick and demented people that have no idea the damage they cause the United States of America. Fortunately, as proven by our Great and Conclusive Election Win in 2024, the People of our Country understand what is happening far better than the Fake News Media! President DONALD J. TRUMP 2 Likes

Senator Graham: President Trump’s decision to take the war to Kharg Island - the crown jewel of Iran’s oil and gas economy - was necessary, bold and in my view, highly effective. This will help shorten the war. Seldom in warfare does an enemy provide you a single target like Kharg Island that could dramatically alter the outcome of the conflict. If Iran loses control or the ability to operate its oil infrastructure from Kharg Island, its economy is annihilated. He who controls Kharg Island, controls the destiny of this war. 3 Likes

The Yemeni journalist Hussein Alwaday posted the following: The political movements of Islam, whether Sunni or Shiite, offer nothing but death... and they do not conceal this; rather, they boast of it. Hezbollah saw that Iran's military downfall would also mean its own end, so it decided to drag Lebanon into a cheap suicide game, not forgetting to herald to the Lebanese that death is all they proudly offer. This is a paragraph from the latest speech by Hezbollah's Deputy Secretary-General, Mohammed Raad: "There is no other choice before us to preserve honor, dignity, and pride except the choice of resistance, and our ability to endure, for the sake of supporting this stance and this noble, honorable, and heroic choice, all the patience for losses and sacrifices, and the destruction of homes and villages, and displacement and hunger, and sleeping without shelter." And these are the same statements from Hamas leaders during the Gaza massacre, who coldly affirmed that they would fight with the blood and bones of Gaza's children, that protecting civilians is not their responsibility, and that the fate of the Palestinian is to die for their project. And the same statements from the Houthi militia, which boasts of building graves and the Yemenis' love of dying at its hands. These are movements explicit in their project... death and nothing but death. And explicit in their service to the mullahs' bloody project. And yet, many sons of this nation still treat them as heroes. And when the sons of this nation curse the psychopathic figures like the Houthi, Nasrallah, Sinwar, and Khamenei, and hurl them into the dustbin of history... there will be hope. 1 Like |

IDF: In a precise strike in Tehran: The IDF eliminated senior intelligence officials of the “Khatam al-Anbiya” Emergency Command Yesterday (Friday), the Israeli Air Force, acting on precise IDF intelligence, carried out a targeted strike in Tehran and eliminated Abdollah Jalali-Nasab and Amir Shariat, senior officials in the Intelligence Directorate of the “Khatam al-Anbiya” Emergency Command, which is directly subordinate to the leader of the Iranian terror regime. Following the elimination of the head of the Intelligence Directorate, Saleh Asadi, during the opening blow of Operation Roaring Lion, Jalali and Shariat were appointed to replace them. The two senior intelligence commanders were key figures in the Iranian intelligence community. In addition, both were close to the leadership of the Iranian terrorist regime. The intelligence branch of the “Khatam al-Anbiya” Emergency Command is responsible for analyzing intelligence. The intelligence is presented to senior officials in Iran’s security system during frequent situational assessments, on the basis of which the war against the State of Israel is conducted. Their elimination adds to dozens of senior commanders of the terrorist regime who have been eliminated during the course of Operation Roaring Lion and constitutes another significant blow to the regime’s command-and-control structures and its ability to manage the fighting in a coordinated manner.

‘Israel dragging region into instability and new genocide in Lebanon’: Turkiye Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan says the United States and Iran must return to negotiations to prevent the war from escalating further. Speaking in Ankara, Fidan warned the conflict risks spreading across the Middle East. “The war must end as soon as possible. We are concerned about the spread of the war.” Fidan said Turkish air defences intercepted a missile fired towards the country and confirmed Ankara remains in contact with Iranian officials. “Israel is dragging the region into new instability. As long as the attacks continue in the region, it will turn into an inescapable spiral. Turkey will resist all kinds of provocations,” he said. Fidan also warned Israel’s continued closure of Al-Aqsa Mosque to worshipers is a “dangerous step that will trigger new unrest in our region”. “We are [also] concerned that [Israeli Prime Minister] Netanyahu is heading towards a new genocide under the pretext of fighting Hezbollah [in Lebanon],” he added. |

Israel says it carried out 400 strike flights on Iran The Israeli military says it conducted about 400 air raids on western and central Iran since the start of its current campaign, targeting what it claimed was Iranian “military infrastructure”. In a statement, it said more than 200 sites were attacked in the past 24 hours alone. The strikes targeted ballistic missile launchers, some of which it claimed were prepared to be fired towards Israel, as well as air defence systems and weapons storage facilities. Attacks were carried out by fighter jets “acting on intelligence” and aimed at reducing Iran’s ability to launch missiles and drones towards Israeli territory. |

Israelis hold small protest against war on Iran About 200 people have gathered in Tel Aviv’s Habima Square to demonstrate against the US-Israeli war on Iran. “Protesters are chanting slogans such as ‘You cannot build democracy on the bodies of schoolgirls’ and ‘Pilots, stop the bombings'”, according to a video shared on social media by Arab-Israeli journalist Yanal Jabarin. The demonstration comes after similar rallies were dispersed in recent weeks and several protesters were arrested. According to a poll by the Israel Democracy Institute earlier this month, 93 percent of Jewish respondents expressed support for the war, while only 26 percent of Arab-Israelis said they backed it |

Trump rejects efforts to launch Iran war ceasefire talks: Report US President Donald Trump’s administration has rebuffed efforts by Middle Eastern allies to start diplomatic negotiations aimed at ending the US-Israel war, Reuters has cited three sources familiar with the efforts as saying. Iran, for its part, has rejected the possibility of any ceasefire until US and Israeli strikes end, two senior Iranian sources told the news agency, adding that several countries had been trying to mediate an end to the conflict. A senior White House official confirmed Trump has rebuffed efforts to start ceasefire talks and is focused on pressing ahead with the war to further weaken Tehran’s military capabilities, according to Reuters. “He’s not interested in that right now, and we’re going to continue with the mission unabated. Maybe there’s a day, but not right now,” the official was quoted as saying said. “President Trump said new potential leadership in Iran has indicated they want to talk and eventually will talk. For now, Operation Epic Fury continues unabated,” a second senior White House official told Reuters. |

Many people are asking how this war will end - and who will blink first: President Trump or the IRGC. One thing must be understood: democracies that face elections often seek to end wars if those wars begin to threaten their hold on power. From the very beginning of this conflict, I’ve said that the ayatollah regime will not fall unless the Iranian people are armed and emboldened to take to the streets by the millions - something that has not yet happened. Which is why Trump and Netanyahu better have something very significant up their sleeves - something powerful enough to shock the regime and suddenly turn the hunters into the hunted. No matter what - our hearts and prayers are with the brave Iranian people who were promised that help is on the way. May their sacrifice be rewarded. Amir T 1 Like |

Iran says Strait of Hormuz still open but under its control Alireza Tangsiri, navy commander of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, says Iran has not yet closed the Strait of Hormuz and the vital waterway is “only being controlled”. Tangsiri accused the United States of spreading false claims about destroying Iranian vessels and escorting oil tankers. “The Americans falsely claimed to have destroyed our ships and escorted oil tankers, and now they are asking for support from others,” said Tangsiri in a post on X.
