🇾🇪❌️🇦🇪🇸🇦 For the first time: Yemen’s Ansarallah-affiliated Al Masirah TV enters the UAE-built airbase on Mayyun Island, in the strategic Bab el-Mandeb.
The scale of the Yemeni Armed Forces’ victory is breathtaking.

— 🇺🇸/🇮🇷/🇰🇵 Reporter: ‘Why can North Korea have nuclear weapons, but not Iran?’
President Trump: ‘Because Kim Jong Un happens to be a friend of mine. He likes me. I’m about the only person on the world he likes. It’s gonna be fine, because he likes me and respects me.’

Lmao. A part of me thinks that Trump plays up his “bond” with Kim Jung Un because he’s aware of how much the western media deligitimizes everything he touches, so in and effort to continue the demonization of the DPRK, he speaks of them fondly.
This could be wrong, and he just sees the conflict on the Korean peninsula a prize to win by settling it, but honestly I still don’t entirely understand his commentary kn the subject.
The right wing has spent so long projecting their own horrible shit onto Kim Jong Un that they actually think he is more like them. The only real way to make liberals hate someone more is to describe the thing like it’s Republican. Literally why they hate communism, because they explain it like it’s conservative capitalism. lol
** Incidentally people, just to keep you in the loop, there have been unexplained missile launches from Iran in recent days including earlier today.
These are part of a series of tests of new warheads and launch vehicles.
Iranian missile designers and technicians are working on more advanced/capable designs with lessons learned from the past 18 months.
We will perhaps get to see the new products in IRIB reports at some point in the future.
@SimurghRes
Hopefully some nuclear powered ones
🇬🇧🇮🇷⚡️- BREAKING: Two Iranians have been arrested by British authorities on charges of plotting a terrorist attack against Jewish communities in Manchester.
It is alleged that the suspects were in contact with a “third party,” which may be Iran.
I guess Autumn is the season of false flags.
❗️Ireland national football team stages Gaza protest, ‘snubs’ Israeli team
• The UEFA Nations League B match between Ireland and Israel last night was marked by protests over the genocide in Gaza.
• Ireland goalkeeper Gavin Bazunu boycotted the match over Gaza, while the Irish players who took the field also staged visible protests.
• Wearing black armbands in memory of Palestinians killed in Gaza, the Irish squad bowed their heads during the Israeli national anthem.
• Republic of Ireland captain Dara O’Shea did not shake hands with Israel captain Manor Solomon, and the customary exchange of pennants between the captains did not take place.
• No official team photo was taken before the match.
• After scoring Ireland’s third goal, Jack Moylan removed his black armband and kissed it in tribute.
• The match, played in Hungary, ended 3-0 in Ireland’s favor after they scored all three goals within the opening 12 minutes of the first half.
• After the match, Republic of Ireland head coach Heimir Hallgrímsson said his players had raised awareness around the world.
Wearing black armbands in memory of Palestinians killed in Gaza
Importantly, they themselves said that it was for “all life lost” and not specifically Palestinians in Gaza.
Unfortunate.
I was already of the opinion that engaging with the game itself against the Zionist entity was a bad decision.
It is fairly disappointing.
Speaking as an Irish football fan. FIFA, UEFA, the Irish Government, the FAI, and lastly the team’s management let us down. They shouldn’t have left it to the actual footballers who generally have the political instincts of sixth formers.
Sounds like what they did was performative and empty in order to please the capitalists who make money and give them their paychecks, while also trying to look like they care about social issues. We’ve seen this kind of crap with Black Lives Matter in the US in the past.
Cowardly to play against them at all. Grow a spine and refuse the match

—❗️🇺🇸/🇮🇷 NEW: According to Axios, the Makin Island Amphibious Ready Group and the 13th Marine Expediationary Unit have left San Diego Naval Base to the Middle East
The ARG consists of an amphibious assault ship, the USS Makin Island, and two amphibious transport docks, the USS Anchorage and USS John P. Murtha.
They will bring about a dozen F-35B Lightning II fighter jets and around 2200 U.S. Marines, as well as infantry fighting vehicles and armored personnel carriers.

That’s a naval landing force.
There’s enough marines, transport helicopters, and amphibious vehicles in there to make a beachhead.
Very troublesome sign, possibly pointing towards Trump wanting to initiate a naval landing in Iran.
https://t.me/Middle_East_Spectator/37264
Honestly I’d be surprised if Trump tried to land a ground invasion. A third of the country just signed up as volunteers to fight the Yankees, not to mention all the other factors that maje am invasion unsustainable. It’s basically a suicide mission, and I can’t imagine even the current delusional US elite are stupid enough to try it.

@SimurghRes
🇮🇷🛢🇹🇯 Tajikistan has announced that it is now receiving oil and petroleum products from Iran, opening a potential new energy source for a country whose fuel supplies have long been dominated by Russia.
The deliveries began in late August following talks between the two countries on expanding cooperation in the oil and gas sector.

🇮🇷☢️🔬Iranian Radiopharmaceutical Developed for Diagnosing Various Cancers
This radiopharmaceutical, which accurately detects cancerous cells with a 95% precision, will be distributed to nuclear medicine centers by the end of the year.
🐻Despite sanctions and war, the Iranian nation still finds means to develop and breakthrough different cutting edge technologies.
🔴@DDGeopolitics
Im waiting for the amerikkkans to realise Australia has a nuclear reactor and a nuclear medicine industry. By thier logic we are building a bomb to target israel with it and should be invaded
Israel has nukes
Israel is not part of the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty or registered with the IAEA
Israel has a policy to nuke everyone around it in case it’s going down
Israel is involved in multiple aggressive wars and belligerent actions against other countries
Israel is an apartheid state actively committing multiple genocides
Israel is constantly violating UN edicts and resolutions, and violates international law constantly and openly
Israel openly sponsors and aids terrorists in an effort to destabilize other countries in the world
Israel glorifies the idea that death is preferable to defeat
USians: “IRAN IS THE BIGGEST THREAT TO HUMANITY!!!11111!!!”
Everyone knows that the nuclear weapon excuse is bullshit, and anyone still bringing it up should be laughed at.
That doesn’t take into account the state of amerikkkan education. Their population is filled with idiots by design. Cant have an educated populace who works out youare awful
❗️Finnish defense chief admits Helsinki bound to Israel military ties ‘whether we like it or not’
Finland must maintain long-term defense cooperation with Israel despite mounting European sanctions and widespread outrage over human rights violations in Gaza, Defense Minister Antti Hakkanen stated in a Defense Ministry release.
Pushing back against growing calls across the continent to sever military trade with Tel Aviv, Hakkanen declared that recently acquired Israeli hardware—including the David’s Sling air defense system, Gabriel 5 missiles, and Spike anti-tank missiles—remains central to Helsinki’s core national security apparatus.
The Finnish defence minister noted that procurement of these high-tech armaments locks Helsinki into decades-long maintenance dependencies for spare parts, critical software updates, training, and ongoing technical support from Israeli contractors.
“This fact binds us to cooperation with Israel, whether we like it or not,” Hakkanen acknowledged, highlighting that Israel was designated alongside the US and South Korea as a primary strategic defense partner in Finland’s 2024 Defence Report, with opposition limited strictly to the Left Alliance in parliament.
Hakkanen’s public defense of Tel Aviv comes amid sharp European divergence over Israeli defense procurement, with human rights groups warning that continued arms flows risk complicity in international law violations.
While European nations like Spain restrict weapons trade and Italy has halted automatic military pact renewals, Helsinki remains firmly anchored to its Israeli defence pipeline.
never ask a finn what they did during world war 2
Common Finnish L. Pathetic, spineless, shameful, disgusting.
They lick the vomit of rabid dogs feasting on humans.
—❗️🇺🇸/🇮🇷 NEW: Iran’s Foreign Minister, Abbas Araqchi, is leaving New York and heading back to Tehran
No breakthrough was reached in the negotiations, so he’s leaving earlier than expected.

China freezes October fuel exports to restore depleted reserves
Chinese commercial diesel and gasoil stocks sit about 20 million barrels short of pre-war levels
🇮🇷⚔️🇺🇸🚢 NYT quoting a pedophile Trump regime official, reports that the IRGC has been launching about 30 drone and 10 anti-ship missile attacks against vessels in the Strait of Hormuz each week since August.
Indeed, even though UKMTO doesn’t report every incident (subject to US-imposed censorship), a significant increase in the number of oil tankers getting struck has been noted.
Furthermore, it appears that the US has completely abandoned the policy of “tanker-for-tanker” attacks against Iran.
