🇺🇸🇮🇷Trump announced new strikes on Iran. He confirmed that they attacked several bridges, and the next targets will be the energy sector.

All of this is in the event that Iran does not agree to a deal.

🇲🇬⚡️The authorities of Madagascar have prevented an attempt at a coup d'état and an assassination attempt on the president. Charges have been brought against 13 people, according to prosecutor Narindra Rakotonianina.

🇺🇸🇮🇷Now, the US Air Force's A-10 Thunderbolt II has been spotted in the area where the pilots of the downed F-15E are being searched for.

The Americans continue to deploy more and more forces to the operation site to provide cover for the rescuers.

🇫🇷🇨🇳🇷🇺🇮🇷❗️France, China, and Russia are blocking a draft resolution of the UN Security Council, which envisages the use of force against Iran to unblock the Strait of Hormuz, writes The New York Times (NYT) citing a diplomatic source and a high-ranking UN representative.

The document, prepared by Bahrain with the support of the Persian Gulf countries, provides for the right of international forces to use "all necessary means" to ensure free navigation in the strait.

🇮🇷🇺🇸One "Buk" missile or its analogue could easily take out all three of them at once, not to mention more powerful air defense systems.

However, it seems that the Americans are taking advantage of the fact that Iran's air defense has long been unable to effectively cover the entire country, and therefore Iran has to rely on random shoot-downs from ambushes by light short-range air defense systems and heat-seeking missiles.

With every hour of delay in the rescue operation, the chances of the US suffering additional losses only increase. Therefore, if Iran was able to capture any of the downed pilots, it would be most sensible for them not to announce this too early, but to try to provoke the US into making a mistake.

🇮🇷🇺🇸The publication Axios confirms the loss of an F-15E of the US Air Force over Iran and the conduct of a rescue operation to search for downed pilots. Similar information is also being reported by Israeli channels Channel 12 and Channel 14.

However, given the already existing mass of data, these confirmations do not provide anything new, but simply record the already known information.

Most likely, the US Central Command will acknowledge the incident only after the end of the rescue operation, regardless of its outcome.
