‘Negotiations with the U.S. are not on the agenda and FM Araqchi’s trip to Islamabad is for the purpose of talking to the Pakistanis.

American officials and media outlets have been fabricating stories about new rounds of negotiations for more than 10 days, and almost daily more than a few false reports are published by them about the start of negotiations

‘Prospects for the resumption of the second round of U.S.-Iran talks are rapidly fading, as Tehran is still not ready to meet the U.S. delegation, which was expected to arrive late tonight from Washington.

—❗️🇺🇸/🇮🇷 NEW: In a report, CBS news confirms that American military bases in the Middle East suffered ‘more extensive damage’ from Iranian attacks than publicly known.
———The bases are said to be mostly destroyed, and their repair would likely cost in the billions of dollars.
——— Notably, U.S. bases even came under attack by Iranian F-5 fighter jets — despite Trump’s claims that the Iranian Air Force had been ‘completely obliterated’.

This marks the third confirmed usage of the Iranian Air Force against U.S. bases during the war. Previously, an attack by two Iranian Su-24s led to 6 American fatalities in Kuwait, before they were eventually shot down when aporoaching the coast of Doha, Qatar.

⚡️🇮🇷 NBC News confirms that an Iranian F-5 airplane somehow managed to evade all the Patriots, all the short range air defense missiles, and simply did a dumb bomb attack on Camp Buehring in Kuwait.

They did not confirm or state if the F-5 made it back safely or was shot down. Unlikely it was shot.
