Lot of the work in Iran is done with these machines. Probably the best fighter plane that has ever been built.

NEW: The US-Israeli combined force appears to be increasingly targeting the Iranian internal security apparatus, which is consistent with the US-Israeli stated objective of toppling the Iranian regime.

Yes of course I would have wished that Denmark together with Finland and Estonia would have done the job. But since now the US is chopping of the heads of the mullahs I'm not complaining. Whatever it takes to destroy the axis of evil.

since the U.S. and Israeli strikes are framed as "targeted operations against terrorist infrastructure," rather than a full-scale invasion, the Kremlin interprets this as a case that does not fall under the collective defense provisions.

"The Moscow-Tehran axis is falling apart before our eyes." -Ukrainian expert Igor Semyvolos:

It has been confirmed that Iran did indeed seek assistance from Russia, invoking clauses on "mutual assistance in the event of a threat to sovereignty." Moscow,however,resorted to legalistic maneuvering:

That is Kurdistan which has no part in this war. Hope they'll kill off every fokking mullah in Teheran until the last one.

Since Mossad has so many assets inside the top of the regime we'll never know if Arafi is perhaps one of them. We'll know he is not as soon as his head is chopped of by a hellfire missile.

Secret plan: make the 'revolutionary guards' believe they are the baddies and they'll surrender. It worked before.

Result of destruction of Iranian military command centers is a lot of 'friendly fire' because of panic. Iran attacking there own assets.

“We take these vessels out one by one”: Belgium seizes Russian shadow fleet oil tanker Zelenskyy urges continent to not just stop sanctioned tankers but seize them and redirect the cargo.

Belgium just boarded and seized a Russian shadow fleet oil tanker in the North Sea, backed by French Navy helicopters.

Defense Minister Francken: "Without his shadow fleet Putin can't wage war against innocent Ukrainians. So we take these vessels out. One by one."

He was 'at home'. Can you believe that? He was on top of the shitlist and stays out in the open 'at home'. Then you have it coming. Iranian leaders seem to have assumed the almighty would protect them. 🙄

Belgium, together with France, intercepted a Russian “shadow fleet” tanker named Ethera, sailing under the Guinean flag, during the night. The vessel is now heading to the Belgian port of Zeebrugge 👀

Amazing news! Shadow fleet must be stopped!

Also, I know wrecks which are at the seafloor for 100 years that contain airchambers still full with air and oil floating on the water inside the wreck. We know we should not surface inside that wreck.

I know about several boats that are properly cleaned and stripped from polluting stuff before sunk to the sea floor. The wreck needs to be safe for divers and most of all for underwater life.

Fair enough. Agree. But we need one for diving and to become a coral reef and home for millions of animals.

You are close to Iran, you know for many many years they have Shaheds and you fail to organise your air defence in time.

Helaas wil uw kabinet ook zo'n nucleair egoproject.

Voor de mensen achterin de zaal:

* De zonnepanelen op uw dak kosten ongeveer 1€ per watt.

* Zet daar voor 0,50€ per watt een batterij naast en je bent een heel eind.

Let this be an inspiration for all European countries. Sell the oil and give the money to Ukraine. Clean the tankers and put them on a place on the ocean floor at 20 meters deep where we can dive on them.
