🇮🇷 NEW: During the war, Iranian missile crews started to pump the liquid propellant missiles with fuel inside the underground bases, in order to avoid having to fuel them outside, which takes several hours

Pumping fuel into the missiles while laying horizontally, rather than vertically, is an extremely dangerous and precise task which requires significant expertise. Even then, it carries an elevated risk of explosion.

The technique has allowed Iranian missile crews to quickly fire and return to their tunnels, preserving launchers from destruction.

Look, if there’s one country that knows how to deal with ships, it’s Somalia.

❗️🇮🇱/🇸🇴 BREAKING: Somalia announces a ban on all Israeli ships passing Bab Al-Mandab @Middle_East_Spectator
🇮🇱/🇸🇴 NOTE: The announcement is slightly symbolic, because Somalia does not control the territory bordering Bab Al-Mandab anymore (it is now occupied by Somaliland seperatists)

They therefore cannot actually engage in harassing the ships.

The status of Lebanon is weird.

Israel has significantly limited its strikes, and has entirely refrained from striking Beirut or the Beqaa, but still carries out occasional artillery shelling and assassination strikes.

Hezbollah, while previously ignoring these ‘minor’ ceasefire violations, is now responding to these violations with attacks on Israeli forces in Lebanon.

Israel can no longer act with impunity in Lebanon. That choice has been made.

More and more Hezbollah statements coming, another one posted just now where they downed 4 enemy surveillance drones in Mansouri.

I’m not gonna cover all of them. Will report if there is anything important.

Monitoring possible explosions in Tehran and projectiles above Iraq / Kuwait.

Nothing is yet confirmed.

In my opinion if there was actually a strike, it would be much clearer and there would be footage.

But we have to wait and see.

Very little evidence for now.
