— 🇮🇷 WATCH: During the exercise, the mock up of a ‘Black Hawk’ helicopter was destroyed by an FPV drone

It seems that Iran has already prepared to begin widespread use of FPV drones against U.S. special forces in case of any infiltration attempt.

— 🇮🇷/🇴🇲 NEW: Iranian and Omani officials held a joint meeting today about the future of the Strait of Hormuz

Oman’s position has apparently shifted since last time, and they have recognized joint Iranian-Omani control over the Strait as sovereign territory.

Iran promised the Omani side that there will be revenue sharing between both sides, as part of good neighbourly relations and Islamic friendship.

@Middle_East_Spectator

I call bullshit on this one

The WSJ reported that the UAE carried out strikes, so now Saudi Arabia probably feels like it needs to announce something too, to avoid looking weak.

Anyone can claim ‘unpublicized strikes in Iran’ without evidence to back it up. At least for the Emiratis we had visual imagery to confirm it and an Iranian response that matches the claim.

🇰🇼🇮🇷| Iran’s MFA categorically rejects claims made by Kuwait that Iran was planning hostile actions against Kuwait.

The statement says Kuwait’s government is using the case of 4 Iranian citizens for political and propaganda purposes.

According to Iran, these people were Iranian officials who were on a routine maritime patrol/coastal guard mission, but because of a navigation-system disruption, they entered Kuwaiti territorial waters.

— 🇺🇸/🇮🇷 President Trump on Truth Social:

‘When the Fake News says that the Iranian enemy is doing well, Militarily, against us, it’s virtual TREASON in that it is such a false, and even preposterous, statement. They are aiding and abetting the enemy! All it does is give Iran false hope when none should exist. These are American cowards that are rooting against our Country.

Iran had 159 ships in their Navy — Every single ship is now resting at the bottom of the sea. They have no Navy, their Air Force is gone, all Technology is gone, their “leaders” are no longer with us, and the Country is an Economic Disaster. Only Losers, Ingrates, and Fools are able to make a case against America! President DONALD J. TRUMP’
