Gentle reminder to Arab Swiss nations of what neutrality looks like.

President Anura Kumara Dissanayake told Parliament today:

"Sri Lanka maintained neutrality by refusing the two requests by both the US and Iran."

I think we have to question the legitimacy of GCC leaders I really dont see how they are representing the great Arab people. They are individuals appointed as agents by the west and the only legitimacy they have is what the west give them.

All they are interested in stealing the Arab masses resources and they are aided by west in this.

Maybe its time for all Pakistan Turkey etc to stand up and help liberate Arab lands for Arabs

Kuwait's Mina Al Ahmadi Refinery has suffered multiple fires in the past week

dark red = last 24 hours

lighter orange/yellow/white means a few days ago and up to 7 days ago

What a piece of shit Japan is. Lost absolutely all respect for them. They get nuked and now want to join the warcrimes of two nuclear powers. Pieces of shit.

I am unsure if any of these countries would actually join any offensive. Japan constitutionally can only use forces in self-defence. They'll probably have protests on the streets in no time if they go against it. In fact, I have heard there have been protests there on some issues in recent days. The media just doesn't care to report them.

Ras Laffan Industrial City, Qatar, is having a bad week.

Iran launched a cluster munition missile attack on the Israeli oil refinery in Haifa. The missile strike caused power outages in several areas of Haifa and the suburb of Kiryat Haim. The attack involved various types of missiles, possibly including heavy Khorramshahr-4 missiles.

Gulf states have played a very sleazy game in this entire affair.

The PGCC have proven to be the unreliable scums we know that they are.

several fires at Saudi ARAMCO Riyadh facility and adjacent Riyadh industrial city

That was initially true, but since the early days, the rate has dropped off considerably. Whether it is due to the fact that major figures have all been eliminated or gone underground, the real fact here is thet the Iranian response still carries on in a co-ordinated and sustained manner, so there must be an effective mechanism still working to make and implement such military decisions.

Hence, despite the killing of the top leadership, there is continuing effective leadership still in place, somewhere within the system.

Iran is doing great, thus far.

I only wanted to highlight the fact that the Iranian intelligence apparatus is compromised. Full stop.
I didn't mention anything about Iran's fighting abilities.

@Persian Gulf

I am keeping log of ADs/Radars and aircrafts destroyed with citations, visuals.

I hope someone (you?) keeping record of missile strikes/waves and their proven hits through sat/on ground visuals?. This thread and few X accounts I follow have all of them, they need to be sorted out in proper date wise manner.

Same case with DPRK, USSR, IRI ... Revolutionary governments always have traitors and infiltration because system is radically favoring just one type of populist ideology. The left out crowd will become tool of enemy.

Understood.

Obviously, what you point out is a matter of great concern for any Iranian, and that partly explains the knee-jerk responses of some individuals in this thread, other than their customary and legendary zeal and fervor.

This is going to be a long and drawn out conflict, unfortunately, that is likely to end one way or another, without a viable stalemate, I am afraid.

we know:

- Iran is launching approx 10 missiles at Israel per day (+- 5 missiles)
- we have direct hits in Tel Aviv and Bet Shemesh, and submunition impacts in Haifa oil refinery and Ben Gurion Airport (and dozens other submunition impacts across Tel Aviv)
- NASA FIRMS imagery also suggests possible impacts in the Ramla cement factory and also the power plant
- Iran has fired 350-400 missiles at Israel so far (compared to 550-600 in the 12 day war in June 2025)

I don't have more granular information than this. it seems the vast majority of missiles are still being intercepted (or left to fall in open areas), but the Khorramshahr missiles carrying cluster munitions are not being intercepted.

we can track NASA FIRMS images a few times a day to identify any new fires and try to cross reference those with known launch times (IL red alerts on X) and IRGC statements.

NASA FIRMS has some limits, of course:
- very large spatial resolution designed to capture thermal anomalies, so it will only capture large fires, not smaller impacts that do not cause fires
- false positives - can misidentify normal sources of heat, so need to check older imagery and ideally cross reference with commercial satellite imagery
