When Russians in Abu Dhabi were saying something about territories, Budanov (head of UA intelligence) would turn to the speaker:
- Excuse me, could you remind me of your surname? And he would jot something down in his little notebook.
After that, Russians no longer spoke about the territories

Seems that the consensus is that this was a combination of Iranian Air Force patrol and/or Air Defense exercises.

Sporadic reports of explosion/gunfire-like (unidentifiable) sounds in the skies above parts of Western Iran.
At least one local official claims that they are conducting air defense exercises.
The Internet is still down in Iran, so information is sparse.

US envoys hold Gaza, Iran talks in Israel | The Jerusalem Post
Senior US officials said ahead of the meeting that Witkoff and Kushner arrived in Israel to meet with Netanyahu in order to review the key issues related to Gaza.
It should be added that in addition to increasing military preparedness in the Middle East, Witkoff and Kushner were both in Abu Dhabi and Israel yesterday (maybe today too) - it's unlikely anything would have gone down while they were present.

They have no choice but to rig the midterms, doesn't matter if it's hamfisted - the fact that someone is weaponizing Trump's penchant for normalizing conflict through a mundane lazzi is the sophisticated part.

Graph from NetBlocks showing network connectivity in Greenland from January 17, 2025, to January 25, 2025. The y-axis represents normalized connectivity, ranging from 0% to 100%, and the x-axis represents the dates. The green line representing Greenland's connectivity remains normal most of the time period, with a sharp drop on the night of January 24. The drop in connectivity aligns with a power cut. A modest recovery is now visible. The minimum and current connectivity levels are indicated as 73% and 84%, respectively. The chart has a dark background.
โน๏ธ Update: Internet connectivity in #Greenland remains diminished due to an ongoing power cut, as initial attempts to repair transmission lines from Buksefjord hydroelectric plant fail amid strong winds, triggering a transfer to emergency power per energy company Nukissiorfiit.

Some areas of Nuuk have begun to regain power after the power plant in Nuuk was started. (Nuuk is supplied with electricity from the hydropower plant 80 kilometers from Nuuk) The power company states that the city is still affected by a power outage due to an incident.

Lots of mixed messages on Iran, could be all part of the OPSEC. I have seen many things that suggest nothing will happen but also seeing some things that lend me to believe otherwise.

You have to think everything else is essentially ready to go.
A lot of pressure on Iran, they've said in the past they would strike first if they felt an existential threat. It will be interesting to see how it goes down (if it does).
