Everytime just before they attack Iran they create a fake itinerary for Bibi to disguise the attack, then cancel the plans once the war kicks off.
 
Hassan Al-Somal said:
"🛰 Possible new damage is visible at the U.S. MIM-104 Patriot air defense battery site at Erbil Airport.

A fire appears to be burning from an object within the position, while extensive ground scarring is visible near the C2 & radar site.

The IRGC said it struck the site earlier today."

I remember when S300 radars were destroyed just before the 12-day war .
Is anyone have a scorecard of how many US 2 Israeli AD units and radars that have been detained far ?

what happened to that fireball over Qeshm? Seems like a nothing burger. Probably a drone.

It is plausible, but we will never find out.

Next 24 hours to 48 hours will be quite crucial for Iran. That cargo isn't for show, that's for sure. It is definitely going to be used to prepare a massive operation against Iran.

Now Iran has to decide. Sit back and take the first big swing, or throw the first jab and force US on the defensive. The best move is to swing big right out of the gate. Who cares what the global community thinks when the attack is coming either way? Might as well go all in and strike first.

I really hope the Iran planners are realising this, because the window to strike is getting smaller.

I believe the Suez is too shallow for VLCC's. Also I think this route is too slow and expensive for markets in East Asia.

NEW YORK CITY: UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres has demanded that Houthi forces immediately halt attacks on commercial vessels in the Red Sea, warning that a renewed assault risks widening the escalation in the Middle East and drawing Yemen “deeper into regional conflict.”

In a statement issued by his spokesperson, Stephane Dujarric, Guterres called for an immediate deescalation and urged the Houthis to refrain from further attacks, citing Security Council Resolution 2722, adopted in January 2024, and subsequent resolutions relating to the protection of commercial shipping. Navigational rights in and around Bab Al-Mandab Strait “must be fully restored,” he said.

The statement followed renewed Houthi attacks this week as the militant group said it had targeted two Saudi oil tankers. It was the sharpest escalation in the waterway for months.

The UN’s special envoy for Yemen, Hans Grundberg, said he was alarmed by the attacks and similarly warned that they risk dragging Yemen back into full-scale war.

Bab Al-Mandab Strait has emerged as a second maritime flashpoint in the region, along with the Strait of Hormuz, amid the wider conflict between the US and Iran. Tehran has reportedly signaled the Houthis to prepare to close Bab Al-Mandab if Washington continued to strike Iranian territory.

US President Donald Trump has warned of “major military punishment” if there are further attacks on international shipping in regional waterways.
