—❗️🇺🇸/🇮🇷 NEW: Iran blew up two ships attempting to cross the Strait of Hormuz

@Middle_East_Spectator

— I have a suspicion that the two ‘American warships’ that were reported as being hit, are these two vessels.

What I mean is, someone saw two ships burning and mistakingly reported them as being U.S. warships.

Last strike in Iran took place ~1 hour ago.

—❗️🇺🇸/🇮🇷 NEW: President Trump, talking to Fox News, claims he called directly with an Iranian official and they ‘asked him to stop’, so he said he will ‘stop the bombing soon’

Iran should officially announce the end of the ceasefire. Enough is enough.

— People are probably misunderstanding a Mehr News report that says Iran has completed the ‘first phase’ of its retaliation.

To be clear, nothing has been launched yet—by ‘first phase’ it was clarified that it meant the dispersion and positioning of launchers in preparation for a strike.

—❗️🇮🇷/🇧🇭/🇺🇸 NEW: Iran’s army announces it targeted communications towers and Patriot radars at the U.S. 5th Fleet in Bahrain with drones

There is currently no evidence for this actually taking place. It’s possible all the drones were intercepted before reaching Bahrain and no sirens sounded for that reason.

—❗️🇺🇸/🇮🇷/🇧🇭/🇰🇼 NEW: In a separate statement, the IRGC Aerospace Force claims it targeted and destroyed 18 targets in two waves, at the U.S. Ali Al-Salem and Al-Jaber Airbases in Kuwait, and Sheikh Issa Airbase in Bahrain

There is no evidence to support this.

Something really weird has been ongoing since yesterday.

Issuing statements about events that verifiably did not happen.

I have a suspicion that some statements are accidentally being released a while before the operations have actually taken place.

@Middle_East_Spectator

So far, despite the sounding of sirens, no explosions or interceptions have taken place in Bahrain.

Confirmed by a local source on the ground, nothing has been heard yet.
