    🇦🇪 Abu Dhabi Media Office reports a drone attack on a facility in the Ruwais Industrial Complex.

    This is one of the largest refining and petrochemicals complexes in the world, refining over 900 000 barrels of oil per day.

    🐻Well, it used to.

      🇮🇷❌🇦🇪🇺🇸— High-resolution satellite imagery from MizarVision reveals damage to the Ruwais base in the UAE, showing at least three facilities severely damaged.

      An AN/TPY-2 radar system appears to have been installed next to a building at a military facility outside Ruwais since June of last year, during the 12-day war, providing early warning of Iranian missiles targeting Israel.

    📝Set the star-spangled paradise on fire📝

    Since the escalation in the Persian Gulf began, Iranian forces have delivered dozens of strikes against various airfields, ports, and logistics centers. The US surrounded Iran with bases, and it turned out they can be shot at.

    ➡️The most notable damage was inflicted on the headquarters of the US Navy’s 5th Fleet in Bahrain. The IRGC managed to strike important facilities, such as over-the-horizon radars for detecting missile launches in the UAE, Qatar, and Jordan.

    ➡️They also inflicted considerable damage in Kuwait. Dozens of hits were missed at American bases, but at least 3 F-15s of the US Armed Forces were shot down by friendly fire.

    ➡️Erbil became another frequent target, as well as some Kurdish facilities in Iraqi Kurdistan. The main damage there was inflicted by missile and drone launches from Iran.

    ➡️The most distant struck facilities were the Akrotiri base on Cyprus, As-Salti in Jordan, and Prince Sultan in Saudi Arabia. Iran denies strikes on Saudi Arabia.

    ❗️There are other claims, but they are not yet confirmed by objective evidence.

    Even with the heavy strikes Iran is enduring, the IRGC managed to hit critical infrastructure in countries with US bases, affecting their economies.

    Interesting decision from a US puppet:

    In a global context marked by extreme instability in energy markets, the Philippine government has taken a radical step to protect its economy: switching to a four-day workweek. This decision aims directly to reduce national fuel consumption and mitigate the impact of rising oil prices on workers, according to BRUT.

    🇺🇸🇮🇷| Satellite company ‘Planet,’ who in the past couple days had published satellite images of damaged US bases in the region, has announced a 14 day delay to release of imagery in West Asia.

    Translation: Trump is not happy with the high quality satellite imagery of its bases getting pounded by Iran.

    If I may put on my tin foil hat for a moment…

    Is it possible that that the Trump administration being backed into a PR corner would throw Netanyahu under the bus and leave Israel on an island with no aid?

    It’s difficult to imagine honestly because I honestly think the governments of the US and Israel are so deeply tied together that this kind of severance is just never going to happen.

      They’ll only create another Israel and try again later. If you ask me, I think they’ll go all out here because they know time is NOT on their side. They’ll suck Japan, South Korea, all other vassals dry if they must. They’ve already spent so much on Israel so I reckon they’d rather not start from scratch.

        There is no “create a new one” for the empire. They can’t even defend the current Israel. They are at the point that any lost ground is lost for good, and they know it.

    Footage from Northern Israel is being heavily censored, but testimonies from people who live there expose the reality

    Hezbollah has turned Northern Israel into Gaza

    Half of the houses and buildings are completely demolished, and most people are not coming back to the city after the war.

    Israel desperately Trying to protect the settler project and failing out of their own incompetence.

      Yeah that’s not like Gaza. The best places in Gaza are way worse than any of those pictures. Gazans would love to live in those houses just as they are. They would happily fight those fires with buckets to save the fire wood so they had something to cook with.

    🇮🇷| Iran’s IRGC spokesman reacts to Trump’s claims about the condition of Iran’s armed forces and his claims about the end of Iran’s power:

    “Trump is trying to put psychological pressure on Iran through lies and deception. But Iran is standing courageously and with strong resolve against US and Israeli aggression.

    We are continuing the war with full strength, and it is Iran, who will determine when the war ends. Iran’s armed forces are ready to protect the oil and security of the region.

    Trump started the war by lying to the American people, but now Iran’s responses have left him in a state of confusion and helplessness.

    Iran’s armed forces are awaiting the US naval fleet in the Strait of Hormuz and the aircraft carrier Gerald Ford.

    The end of the war is in Iran’s hands.

    SPECULATION, BUT COULD BE IMPORTANT:

    There’s a claim that an Iranian missile hit Netanyahu’s residence, killing his younger brother (Iddo) and critically injuring Ben-Gvir, while Netanyahu himself was also seriously injured.

    https://timesofislamabad.com/09-03-2026/iddo-netanyahu-killed-in-iranian-missile-strikes-at-pm-netanyahu-residence/

    Primary source is Scott Ritter, so not the most reliable source.

    I’ve done some further digging:

    People are referring to “announcements” by the Israeli government that Ben-Gvir has been in a car accident last night. I can’t find any such announcements, but it could be that they are published only in Hebrew so far, which I can’t read.

    There doesn’t seem to be much to verify whether Iddo is alive or not.

    As for Bibi, he hasn’t been seen publicly or on camera since last Monday. It could be that he’s just hidden somewhere, or it could be partial proof he’s been hit.

    If you can find anything relevant please post it here.

    Trump stated that he will lift some sanctions against the oil industry of other countries. At the same time, in his opinion, there may not be a need to reinstate them because “peace will be restored”.

    Speculation: When Trump referred to “other countries”, he actually meant Russia.
