Jesus fucking christ, they really are speedrunning Iraq 2, aren't they?
They're ignoring their own intel, inspection reports, all scientific consensus, the offramps, diplomatic process, and the very reasonable offer on the table.

Iranian Red Crescent: Five Iranian hospitals damaged in Israeli aggression.
An interesting detail that goes almost unnoticed in the context of the attacks on Iran: the first missiles fired at Iranian territory flew almost simultaneously with the launch of the new rail route from China to Iran. The first train from Xi'an arrived at the Iranian logistics hub in April on May 25, 2025. This route has been coordinated and built since 2021, immediately after Iran and China signed a strategic agreement worth approximately $400 billion under the “One Belt and Road” initiative. The essence of the project is simple: industrial products from China now reach Iran directly by land, bypassing all U.S. zones of influence, military bases and sanctions control. Iran not only receives supplies, but becomes a key connecting transit hub:
- to the south - the North-South corridor through Russia, the Caspian Sea and India;
- to the west - land access to Iraq, Syria, Turkey and the Mediterranean;
- to the east - direct access to Chinese supply chains.
In addition, the land route erodes the monopoly of maritime traffic, especially in conditions where the Strait of Hormuz and Suez are controlled by U.S. or pro-U.S. structures. Iran has gradually overcome its logistical isolation, becoming a link between China, Russia, India and the Middle East.
All this constitutes a geo-economic threat that the United States and its allies understand perfectly well. Therefore, it is not surprising that, simultaneously with the beginning of Iran's real integration into the trans-Asian logistics, an attempt to destroy it systemically is being initiated. The problem is not limited to the nuclear program. The issue is to prevent Iran from becoming a logistical hub for the new Eurasian architecture and gaining sufficient strength.

UN Security Council to hold emergency session on US attacks today
At the request of request of Iran, the UN Security Council will meet later today to discuss the US attacks on three Iranian nuclear facilities.
The emergency session is expected to start at 19:00 GMT.
Getting the Cracker Peace Prize for committing war crimes on behalf of a genocidal war criminal rogue state, at the risk of starting a world war, and against the overwhelming opinion of most of the people of the world and world leaders... might just be crazy enough to work.
Lebanon, Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Turkey, UAE and Kuwait all condemned the 'unprovoked' Iranian attack on a U.S. base in Qatar.
Clown world.
—❗️🇮🇷/🇮🇱 NEW: No hostile fighter jets have entered Iranian airspace since Saturday, military sources confirm.
Israel enjoyed a short window of 'operational freedom' in Iran after the initial paralysis of AD, but have not entered Iran's borders since.
This is also proven by the total lack of jet footage, and the fact that all of the AD activations are light air defenses (like ZSU style pea shooters). Although, some airstrikes are still being carried out from Iraqi airspace.
Israel's main bet was on internal chaos immediately following the opening blow, which did not happen, despite a massive network of internal collaborators that was prepared for years by the Mossad.
The Israeli operation, at least the 'planned' phase, has come to an end, and they now have to adapt and improvise.

Well going to get some sleep now. Hopefully we live to see another day lol.
