⚔Iraq's Chief of Staff visited the Najaf desert site where a secret Israeli base reportedly operated during the Iran war, according to a Wall Street Journal report.

Iraq's Defense Ministry says the area is now under full Iraqi military control and surveillance. The base went undetected by Iraqi forces for the duration of the conflict.

⚔Iran has dramatically widened its territorial claim over the Strait of Hormuz, asserting control over a far larger area than before the war. An IRGC naval official warned Tehran will "not allow any kind of encroachment upon its waters and interests."

https://news.usni.org/2026/05/11/10-ship-russian-convoy-transits-japans-tsushima-strait

going by the size of the second mission
it's now 6 cargo ships escorted by two corvettes, a sub, and their support vessels

maybe the first mission was a headfake




iran does not need russia or china to get regular gun-style nukes

nuclear weaponry is 1950s technology
anyone can do it
the reason why the non-nuclear powers can't race for it
is that the part about enriching enough uranium or obtaining plutonium from a reactor for a bomb takes time
someone will find out and put immense pressure on you to stop
that's it

iran has done that hard part
they've had like 7 iterations of self-developed centrifuges

they have 90% enriched uranium
i refuse to believe they enriched to 60% and stopped
plus the iaea said they found traces of 80%+ uranium

essentially, they have all the parts
all they need to do is cobble it together
they can test it
or not
gun-style nukes do not need to be tested to confirm if you've aced it




so ultimately, this is not a question of passing blame to china or russia

china and russia will not outright publicly announce that they back you in getting a weapon
because then the us will say poland/ukraine/taiwan/south korea can develop the weapon

they will publicly denounce it
and it is up to iran to use their akonuche to get it
then china and russia will run interference in the unsc
to say well, since they now have it
case closed

Thought they were sending actual NUKES or something that could help NK assemble more actual NUKES.

As for Iran, it's DIFFICULT to believe that they have the MEANS to produce NUKES.

Because if they have Nuclear Materials enriched to 90% and the COMPONENTS to create a NUKE but REFUSE to do so even AFTER the 12-day war and the most recent war that led to the ASSASSINATION of their Supreme Leader and his whole LINEAGE; Iran would be the most REEEETHERDED country in the history of the world.

That would mean they are WILLINGLY choosing NATIONAL SUICIDE.

Even if they believe they DON'T need it, they should develop it out of SHEER SPITE.

Since there is NO verifiable proof that they are pursuing this, I'll just assume they DON'T have the capabilities to develop Nuclear Weapons.

That is the ONLY logical reason for them NOT to have NUKES.

⚔Saudi Arabia launched numerous unpublicized military strikes on Iran in late March in retaliation for Iranian attacks on the kingdom, per Reuters. This is the first known direct Saudi military action on Iranian soil.

The strikes were carried out by the Saudi Air Force, confirmed by two US officials and two Iranian officials.

There's not a chance in hell that Russia will transport highly sensitive cargo like a Nuclear reactor in NATO's waters when they could just use rail to ship it to North Korea.

Or use the Vladivostok port. North Korea is right there in Russia's backyard.

I call it a BS western propaganda story.

according to the report, they were sending nuclear reactors for submarines

it would be incredibly brainless to send it through nato waters
without escorts
while hegemony piracy is on steroids




read about the nth country experiment
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nth_Country_Experiment

back in the 60s, phd students with zero nuclear weapon development experience
could already design functional simple gun-style nukes with only publicly available information

60 years ago

even if iran had zero 90% HEU before the war
if they had started enriching their 60% HEU when the war started, they would have weapons-grade 90% HEU as of today
it takes only 2 weeks to go from 60% to 90%

with that enriched material, any nuclear scientist worth his salt can build a bomb with publicly available information

that is the objective fact

iran cannot be fielding offensive ew systems that can damage f-35s
and claim it can't build a 1960 nuke




in fact, i am far more likely to believe there is a logistical issue

maybe they weren't able to relocate enough of their equipment to their unaffected sites before both bombing campaigns
or there are certain components that they would need to manufacture but they can't because they left the machines in an above-ground facility that has been bombed

that kind of a thing is far more believable
than claiming they have unaffected sites, have access to the HEU stock, have their centrifuges and other components
and yet they can't build a nuke
that is simply impossible
