Yemen’s Houthi group has warned it will target U.S. vessels in the Red Sea if the U.S. launches an attack on Iran.

—❗️🇮🇷/🇮🇱 Washington Post: 'Israel will only be able to maintain shooting down Iranian ballistic missiles for 10 or 12 more days, then they will need to start rationing munitions'

This could explain why Iran is opting to launch small but consecutive waves. Iran is likely using up some of their older / less sophisticated missiles to deplete Israeli defenses, to make way for the 'real' stuff later on. This is attritional warfare.

In most cases, a small wave of 3-5 Iranian ballistic missiles is enough to prompt the launch of about 10-15 Israeli interceptor missiles, with each one costing at least $12 million dollars (in the case of THAAD).

In contrast, even Iran's most modern missile, the Fattah-1, only costs about $200,000 to produce, according to the IRGC. If we assume 12 interceptors for one Fattah-1 missile (as seen in a video today), that means Israel is spending $144 million dollars to 'intercept' (not always successfully) a single Iranian hypersonic missile.

This is simply not sustainable. Within about two weeks, if Iran keeps up the current pace of fire, Israeli airspace will be at the mercy of Iran's far larger and more destructive solid fuel bsllistic missiles. Unless, of course, the U.S. intervenes directly.

Pezeshkian: History will not forget how Iran’s enemies broke their pledges and agreements, resorting to aggression and invasion even during negotiations

The zionists bit off more than they can chew this time.

The Israeli government has issued new directives restricting how its media covers its current war with Iran.

On Wednesday, a circular from Israel’s military censor, Brigadier General Kobi Mandelblit, announced new rules on what Israeli media organisations and journalists within the country can – and cannot – publish about the effect of Iranian strikes.

According to figures from the International Federation of Journalists (IFJ), Israel has killed at least 164 journalists in Gaza since October 7, 2023. More have been killed in Lebanon, the occupied West Bank and, now, Iran.

Haifa refinery disabled due to heavy damage

The leader of Yemen's Ansar Allah, Sayyed Abdulmalik al-Houthi, backed Iran's actions against "Israel", calling it a boost for Palestine and the region, while condemning the Israeli aggression. He urged Arab and Islamic nations to support Iran and maintain resistance in a speech on Saturday.

The leader of Yemen’s Ansar Allah movement stated that Iran’s success in its ongoing confrontation with the Israeli occupation benefits "the Palestinian cause and the entire region," while expressing Yemen's support for Iran's "True Promise 3" operation against the occupation, affirming that Sana'a "stands in full solidarity to the extent of its capabilities."

Looks like the explosion at Bushehr was at the airport, not the nuclear plant. ~~Israel~~ Shitrael claims it hit air defenses.

🇮🇷🇮🇱‼️ Ynet is worried that israel is already entering stalemate territory versus Iran. Their strikes on central Iran are very limited and slow, they also claim Iranian defenses are already recovering in some areas.

Look at the "civilized democracies" paralyzed in the face of genocide. Stifled by corrupt UN bureaucracy. Not a single of the highest cracker courts could do anything but make limp-wristed gestures from across the world. All the enlightened pink-washed liberals did was lie to us. Anyone who complained that the genocide was even happening were target, slandered, defamed, arrested, deported, blackbagged, fired, blacklisted, and made victims of a police state.

People doing what was right, speaking out, holding signs and opposing the mass death of Palestinians became antisemites, criminals and terrorists by the Empire and its lackeys.

People cheering the extermination and dehumanization of Palestinians were rewarded with approval and a gentle pat on the head from the benevolent master.

The west is beyond sick. It never evolved beyond a First Imperial War mindset. One after another, country after country, the great hand crosses the globe to flip on the meat grinder casino.

The REAL heroes are all the ones we're constantly told are evil "regimes". The empire is a macrocosm of unreality. The lies are so maximalist, it inverts the truth.

Whatever the outcome of this crisis, I wish people could recognize that the so called "terrorists" and "regimes" did more for the sake of humanity than anyone else in the "civilized" world.

— 🇮🇷/🇮🇱 Iran's Foreign Ministry Spokesman, Ismael Baqaei, on X:

'A video of a violinist playing a love song amidst the thunder of Israeli missiles over residential areas of Tehran.

Here is Iran: proud, courageous, civilized, artistic, dynamic, peace-loving, patriotic, loving life, and determined to defend a land that has never bowed down in the face of countless hardships and hostilities.

For Iranians, Netanyahu's aggressive war is reminiscent of Saddam Hussein's imposed war on Iran in the 1970's.

We are all determined to defend our beloved homeland and our dignity with all our might, against a genocidal enemy whose expansionist and warmongering ideology knows no bounds.'

Seems to be no new development as of now. Haifa was hit and multiple missiles reached their targets. And Israel attacked some Iranian oil refineries. That's about it for now.

I need a nap. It would be really nice if things where less when I get up

Yeah, nice try, no prize now

Israelis are getting ahead of themselves and dreaming about their next target, Qatar.

I know Shitrael won't hold a ceasefire, but giving them time to get back online and resupply AD munitions seems fucking stupid to me.

I'm not trying to post, but I promise you, Shitrael learned nothing, and they'll be twice as vicious because now they've been humiliated. By my assessment, Iran is winning militarily. Pressing that advantage is the best hope of victory over the entity. There is finally an emerging pan-arabism that can threaten US hegemony in West Asia. The world is cheering and there was a legitimate opportunity to end the Gaza genocide before there's no one left. Israel needs to be wiped off of the face of the earth as a colonial project or no one will ever be safe.

I hope there's some 4D chess thing going on here that I'm not seeing yet. I seen way too much capitulation to fascism in my lifetime, so it's nice to have a beacon of hope and resistance.

CNN admits Iranians won't revolt.

Scary talk from the US side. It's looking more and more as if they will be involved soon.

Seeing a lot of reports and videos of drones and single missiles hitting targets in Beershaba and Tel Aviv where there doesn't appear to be any air defense at all.

Earlier they fired a single missile at the entity and it hit it's target without any interception. I think we're getting to the moment where Shitrael is done.

Iranian authorities say they have seized a truck carrying a large number of drones and arrested a Mossad agent in western Tehran.
