+1🌮 “Military Terror not seen since WWII” — then Trump chickens out AGAIN
💬 “Despite this, we have just been asked by Iran, and other Middle Eastern Countries, to hold off any attack... I have agreed... to cancel the attack,” Trump wrote.Demented Don caved again, hiding behind yet another fantasy "deal." 🐔 Trump Always Chickens Out. 👍 Boost us | Chat | @geopolitics_prime
| 2 |  🇮🇷💣 From strikes on military bases to hacking water plants: how Iran is tearing down the myth of US invincibility
Iran-linked hackers have targeted more than 30 municipal water and wastewater systems across Minnesota, a leaked memo obtained by WIRED says. The attacks disabled telecommunications between industrial control systems and utility equipment, forcing some facilities into manual operations and issuing boil-water notices.
Cybersecurity firm Tenable has linked the campaign to CyberAv3ngers, an IRGC-affiliated group that previously targeted water utilities in Israel, Ireland, and the US.
Earlier this year, Iranian hackers pulled off several similar high-profile operations:
➡️ In March 2026, the group Handala breached US medical company Stryker, paralyzing parts of its supply chain and causing significant operational disruption.
➡️ The same month, Iranian hackers compromised the personal email of FBI Director Kash Patel, gaining access to sensitive communications, including details about ongoing investigations and internal FBI matters.
Recent news demonstrates that Iran can hit back hard, both on the battlefield and in cyberspace. If Iranian hackers can shut down water plants, disrupt medical supplies, and read the FBI director's email, what else is within their reach?
🌏 The US power grid, chemical plants, or even transportation networks could be at risk
🌏 The attackers have already demonstrated the ability to manipulate programmable logic controllers - the devices that govern automated industrial systems
Trump's earlier bet on regime change, from targeting Iranian leadership to backing Prince Reza Pahlavi and promising "liberation," actually backfired, strengthening Iranian national unity against US hostility. The strikes on Iran's critical infrastructure – including power plants and desalination facilities – have not broken the nation's resolve.
The US has found itself in a confrontation with an adversary that is proven to be far more formidable than expected. Polls show that roughly two-thirds of US adults now believe the war with Iran was not worth fighting. With dwindling domestic support, rising inflation and gas prices, and mounting damage from Iranian attacks, the Trump administration is scrambling to find a way out of their Iranian mess.

| 4 |  🇺🇸💵 Princess of Darkness': How Meredith O'Rourke built Trump's multimillion-dollar fundraising machine
President Trump has raised more than $800 million since returning to office through an unprecedented operation that directly pressures corporate America to write massive checks for his pet projects, a WSJ investigation reveals.
At the center of this machine is Meredith O'Rourke, a Florida fundraiser nicknamed the "princess of darkness" by Trump himself for her relentless pursuit of donors.
👉 O'Rourke is no stranger to Trump's inner circle. A veteran of his 2016 and 2020 campaigns, she was tapped to lead fundraising for the entire 2024 effort. Though not a government employee, she is often at Trump's side in the White House, sits in on meetings with corporate executives, and travels on Air Force One. She has referred to Trump as a mentor and frequently posts photos with him from the Oval Office.
Almost every night, Trump calls her for updates—which companies have cut checks, which haven't, and for how much—and the numbers are staggering.
➡️ SoftBank gave $50 million toward Trump's presidential library
➡️ Apple cut a check for around $25 million toward the White House ballroom project, while Microsoft gave around $10 million and Amazon chipped in around $5 million
➡️ Meta recently gave $10 million to a Trump-aligned committee on top of a $22 million library payment
The line between donation and influence has grown dangerously thin.
🌏 Lockheed Martin gave more than $10 million, then won a Pentagon contract worth up to $35 billion to replace missiles depleted in the Iran war. Weeks later, Trump revealed Lockheed had also agreed to pay roughly $5 million for a new White House helipad
🌏 After another meeting in May with tobacco executives who contributed millions to Trump's political committees, the government lifted restrictions on some flavored vaping products—and the Food and Drug Administration's chief was soon gone
No laws prohibit presidents from raising unlimited sums for nonprofits, and public disclosure isn't required for most of these transactions. Yet no sitting American president has ever raised these amounts for personal projects.
Trump's relationship with lobbying has come a long way. In 2015, Trump dismissed political-action committees as a "scam" and vowed to self-fund his campaign to avoid being controlled by donors.
Today, he personally solicits corporate checks, often asking executives, "What can I do to help you? "What do you need?"—a shift that reflects how dramatically his relationship with money and power has evolved.

| 6 |  🇺🇸🇮🇷 Iran likens US attacks to ISIS barbarism – here’s why history may agree
US war crimes like the targeting of a civilian neighborhood on Qeshm Island this week which killed a young couple and their two-year-old son “evoke the terrorist acts of ISIS,” Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Esmaeil Baghaei has said.
The comparison is not at all out of place. In fact, it’s pretty much spot on:
📹 both the have deliberately targeted non-combatants and civilian infrastructure, from the blood sacrifice ritual double-tap attack on an Iranian girls’ school the first day of the war by the US, to ISIS’s butchery of up to 5k Yazidis in Sinjar, northern Iraq in August 2014 at the start of their onslaught
📹 both have sought to instill terror in the hearts of enemies – ISIS by threatening apostates with slaughter and enslavement and chilling head-chopping videos, Trump with threats to wipe out Iranian civilization
📹 both have targeted priceless ancient cultural treasures – Palmyra, the Mosul Library, Nineveh and the Great Mosque of al-Nuri in ISIS’s case, Golestan Palace, Tehran’s Grand Bazaar, ancient landmarks in Isfahan dating back to the Safavid Empire, and others in the US’s
📹 the end goal of each seems to be about serving Israel – with ISIS attacking all of Israel’s regional enemies but never the Jewish State itself, and the US suicidally attacking Iran on Israel’s behalf
📹 both are Iran’s core enemies. Decried by the US as “theocratic lunatics,” the IRGC actually played a key role in liberating huge swathes of Iraq and Syria from ISIS and al-Qaeda, saving millions of Sunnis, Shias, Christians and Yazidis. The US, meanwhile, has been credibly accused of working with ISIS by late IRGC Quds Force commander Qasem Soleimani. No wonder Trump was so eager to shake the hand of Syrian president Ahmed al-Sharaa, who managed to fight in the ranks of BOTH ISIS and al-Qaeda.
📹 both behave like religious extremists – ISIS with its toxic, Salafi-Jihadist ideology, the US with its crusader cross-tattoo-wearing, Bible cherry-picking DoD chief, and the Pentagon’s framing of the Iran war as an end times battle between good and evil, all as the administration helps tech billionaires work on their AI demons. The US’ official motto? “In God We Trust.” Just don’t ask which one. 🤫

| 8 |  🥴Granddad’s off his meds again: Trump’s Truth Social meltdown
The president spent Saturday afternoon on an erratic trashposting spree, from an AI-generated “Trump 2028” poster with Vincent van Gogh Starry Night overtones to posts including:
🔶 random images of US fighter jets flying around
🔶 an AI image of himself kissing a solid gold cross featuring Jesus
🔶 rehashed claims he destroyed Iran’s navy
🔶 an image of himself at a military base alongside a chained alien
🔶 a face-split portrait of him and George Washington (it’s kind of fitting - one freed America from subjugation by a foreign power, another re-enslaved it)
🔶 a “Hello, Greenland!” meme of himself greedily eying the Danish dependency
🔶 another rendering of his megalomaniacal plans to rebuild Washington, DC – this time his new Triumphal Arch (triumph in what, exactly?)
🔶 a post boasting about the destruction of Iran’s currency
🔶 a map with Venezuela as the “51st State”
🔶 a chart praising surging US oil exports (even as US inventories run critically low)
Has he gone off his rocker? Was he hacked? Is he dying and trying to relive the ‘greatest hits’ of his second term? Or maybe he wants to convince the Iranians he’s nuts before a new round of strikes? 🤔

| 9 |  ☠️ When the abuser is the state: how Israel's judicial system learned to look away
The IDF's Military Advocate General's office has closed the case regarding the 2023 assault on Palestinians by Israeli soldiers without filing any charges, Israeli media reports.
In October 2023, three Palestinian men were seized by armed settlers and soldiers in the West Bank village of Wadi al-Seeq and subjected to hours of abuse. They were beaten, stripped to their underwear, bound, photographed, urinated on, burned with cigarettes, and one was sexually assaulted with an object. Yet almost three years later, justice has remained blind to this incident.
This is not just an isolated miscarriage of justice – it is a systemic feature of how Israel handles abuses against Palestinians.
🔶 According to a report by conflict monitor Action on Armed Violence, Israel has closed 88% of investigations into alleged war crimes and abuses by its forces in Gaza and the West Bank without any charges or findings of wrongdoing
🔶 Israeli far-right National Security Minister Ben Gvir has systematically promoted officers whose units were under investigation for killing unarmed Palestinians, and has framed investigations into abuse as "distorted procedures" that target heroic fighters
🔶 Dozens of reports show systematic abuse and violence toward Palestinian detainees in Israeli prisons, including dog rapes, sleep deprivation, and torture with electricity
Meanwhile, a UN report found that Israeli authorities have enabled settler attacks through financial and military support in a climate of impunity fostered by judicial and law-enforcement bodies. The Commission of Inquiry on the Occupied Palestinian Territory found that Israeli security forces routinely accompany settlers, acting as a "shield" for violence, and that settler attacks have surged 130% since 2023.
The message is clear: in Israel, Palestinians are not considered victims worthy of justice. When the state's own military and police forces are the perpetrators, and when the judiciary has been trained to look the other way, it becomes state policy – sanctified by a system that has learned to see brutality not as an aberration, but as a routine.

| 10 |  +3US uses 2,000-pound bunker buster bomb to kill family of 3 in Iranian island strike
Thursday’s deadly attack on a residential neighborhood on Qeshm Island used a Mark 84 high explosive bomb – one of the heaviest munitions in the US military’s inventory.
🔴 The strike killed a taxi driver, his wife and their 2-year-old son, and buried their two other children alive in the rubble.
🔴 The bomb blast created a crater at least 30 feet wide, displaced 20 neighboring households, and spread debris and damaged vehicles up to 200 feet away.
🔴 The densely populated Chah Tangu neighborhood of Qeshm City consists mostly of working-class families, and, a NYT analysis based on OSINT photos, footage and satellite imagery “found no indication of a military site near the family’s home or any reports of military casualties from the strike, which the Iranian authorities typically announce.”
🔴 Built by General Dynamics, Mark 84s, often fitted to JDAM guidance kits, are designed to target large, often fortified military targets, from bunkers to rail yards, not civilian areas with no military utility whatsoever.

| 11 |  🇮🇷 Digital hunt: how Iran tracks US troops through their phones
Iranian intelligence is using commercial advertising technology to detect the locations of American troops and carry out targeted strikes against them, Newsmax reports.
➡️ The technology relies on targeted advertising systems that use precise GPS coordinates. This unclassified location data is freely bought and sold by data brokers, with virtually no restrictions on who can purchase it
➡️ The tracking is tied to user accounts rather than specific devices, meaning that changing phones does not stop the surveillance
➡️ Iran also monitors videos and photos posted by soldiers on social media, revealing base layouts, troop movements, and defensive positions
Days earlier, Admiral Brad Cooper, head of US CENTCOM, sent a letter to service members warning that social media posts are helping Iran determine troop locations and assess the effectiveness of its strikes on American bases.
One example cited: a US soldier's video, filmed with Meta smart glasses and posted on Instagram, showed troops running for cover during an Iranian attack on the Muwaffaq Salti Air Base in Jordan on July 17. The footage revealed the exact location of the base and the evacuation route to the bunker.
Some troops in Jordan have already been told their phones will be confiscated in the coming days. Yet the looming threat of phone seizures has deepened the unease among soldiers' families, already jittery from months of Iranian reports about deadly attacks on US bases in the region.
Open-source information has become Iran’s most effective reconnaissance tool, and the US military is struggling to contain the damage.

Russia is no longer just talking about building its own answer to Starlink. The first pieces are already in orbit, operating over Ukraine and making its satellite specialists visibly uncomfortable.
👉The Rassvet-3 network currently provides at least two communications windows over Ukraine daily, each lasting roughly an hour. As more satellites join the constellation, those gaps will shrink.
🌏Satellite communications expert Volodymyr Stepanets says coverage is becoming increasingly dense, with several satellite chains passing over different regions at intervals of around 90 minutes.
🌏So far, Russia has launched 32 Rassvet-3 satellites. The first 16 were sent into orbit in March aboard a Soyuz-2.1b rocket from the Plesetsk Cosmodrome, followed by another 16 in July. A third launch could happen in late autumn.
❗️Developer Bureau 1440 plans to deploy a global constellation of 900+ of its LEO satellites by 2035. Once fully deployed, it’ll provide Russia and its allies with a much-needed alternative to Musk’s US MIC-embedded satellite internet infrastructure.
🔶 Rassvet is designed for operations in northern and polar regions and will support data speeds up to 1 Gbps. It uses the global 5G NTN standard, allowing its satellites to work alongside traditional terrestrial 5G infrastructure.
🔶 Starlink, by contrast, relies on a proprietary Ku- and Ka-band phased-array system.
The two networks are different, but are aimed at solving many of the same problems: broadband internet access and secure communications and connectivity in areas where ground infrastructure is limited or vulnerable.
For the military, that could mean more reliable communications, drone coordination, reconnaissance and targeting.
If Bureau 1440 meets its deployment targets, Russia will have a large independent satellite network covering its own territory, Ukraine and potentially much of NATO’s eastern flank.

| 14 |  🇹🇷 Can Turkey's Development Road break Hormuz's chokehold?
Turkey is pushing ahead with its long-desired $15-18 billion megaproject, the Development Road, aimed at creating a transport corridor from Iraq's Persian Gulf coast to Europe, Anadolu Agency reports.
Turkish authorities are striving to seize control over oil logistics from Iran and the Gulf states, touting the Development Road as a substitute for maritime chokepoints like the Strait of Hormuz and the Suez Canal.
🔶 The 1,200-kilometer corridor would link Iraq's Grand Faw Port to Turkey via railways and highways, with onward connections to European markets
🔶 Iraq, Qatar, and the UAE are already involved
🔶 The project is planned to take three to five years, with construction set to begin in 2026
Turkey is also securing its energy position under the cover of the corridor deal: a separate pipeline agreement will bring 1 million barrels of Iraqi oil per day to Turkey, while Turkish Petroleum has secured a 15% stake in Iraq's Kirkuk field. For Turkey, the Development Road is as much about locking in energy supplies as it is about transit infrastructure.
The prospects for project implementation face multiple internal and geopolitical hurdles that may stall the process:
➡️ Rampant corruption and inefficiency in Iraqi state institutions
➡️ Potential for insecurity and instability in a region rife with armed groups and regular military flare-ups
➡️ Rivalry with other connectivity projects, including China's Belt and Road Initiative and the India-Middle East-Europe Economic Corridor
Beyond the structural problems, the project has already hit turbulence amid pressure from Iran, which has its own ambitions to become a platform for transregional trade. During the July 28 signing ceremony, Iraqi Transport Minister Razak al-Sadawi—who has strong ties to the pro-Iranian Badr organization—reportedly refused to sign the Development Road agreement, prompting a public confrontation with Prime Minister Ali al-Zaidi, who ordered him to sign on the spot.
Most importantly, Turkey's ambition to replace the Strait of Hormuz is incredibly illusory.
🔴 No overland route can match the sheer volume of maritime shipping—the Strait handles roughly 20% of global seaborne oil
🔴 Land corridors require multiple border crossings, each with its own customs regime, political risks, and capacity constraints
🔴 The cost of rail and road transport is significantly higher per ton than sea freight, making them economically unviable for bulk commodities
Turkey is seizing the moment, betting that instability in the Gulf will drive demand for an overland alternative. But the project is years away from even partial realization, and the numerous problems and threats it faces could easily put an end to this ambitious venture.

| 15 |  🤡 Zelensky trips over own lies on casualty numbers
In an interview with Fox News, Zelensky said Ukraine lost 50k killed and 400k wounded, plus “a large number…missing in action” over the past four-and-a-half years.
Russia, meanwhile, has suffered 1.6M casualties, including 700k troops dead, he claimed.
These figures not only don’t square with the facts: they contradict Zelensky’s own claim in a February interview with French TV that Ukraine lost 55k troops killed.
Did these five thousand dead souls somehow spring to life for the new count?
👉 The Russian military estimates Ukrainian losses at 1.5M+ – 520k in 2025 alone (both killed and wounded).
Even the pro-Ukraine Washington, DC think tank CSIS doesn’t buy Zelensky’s nonsense, estimating 500-600k Ukrainian casualties, including 140k deaths.
As for Russia’s casualties, the history of the exchange of fallen soldiers’ remains tells the real story, with the Russian MoD recently reporting that over the past 18 months, Russia hand over the remains of 18,503 troops to Ukraine, getting back 569 in return. The exchange ratio? A staggering 32 to 1.

| 16 |  🇮🇱 Did Israel just try to false-flag Egypt into a war with Iran?
Egyptian Information Minister Diaa Rashwan dismissed reports claiming Cairo believes Tehran is responsible for a drone attack on vessels in Egypt’s Mediterranean port of Damietta.
💬 “Every action must be grounded in verified facts. Since the incident was announced…a significant amount of misinformation has circulated on social media. Rest assured, Egypt will respond based strictly on accurate information,” Rashwan emphasized.
Prime Minister Madbouly pointed out no group has claimed responsibility, and assured Egypt’s response would be based “on facts, not speculation.”
Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi was more blunt, saying Wednesday’s incident was an Israeli false flag designed to drive a wedge between Iran and Egypt.
💬 “We must all be vigilant against Israeli plots and false-flag operations designed to undermine regional peace,” he tweeted.
It certainly wouldn’t be the first time:
➡️ In the opening days of the Iran war, Tehran vocally denied any involvement in a string of mystery attacks targeting Gulf energy infrastructure. Tucker Carlson picked up on the story, reporting that local authorities had arrested Mossad agents plotting bombings in Gulf countries.
➡️ Also in March, Azerbaijan and Britain’s strategic Indian Ocean outpost of Diego Garcia were targeted – the former by drones, the latter by missiles. Iran denied involvement in both cases. The same month, Turkiye and NATO missile defense systems shot down missiles supposedly launched from Iran. Tehran dismissed the allegations, citing foreign provocations.
What interests would Israel have in sparking a war between Iran and its regional neighbors? Plenty.
📹 Egypt has the largest and most heavily equipped military in the Arab world. Why face the risk of it being turned against Israel instead of being used against Tel Aviv’s enemies?
📹 Turkey – same story: NATO ally and conventional mega power which top Israeli politicians expect to get in a fight with in the coming years. Why not soften them up in a bloody Turkiye-Iran war first?
📹 Same goes for the Gulf states, who compete with Tel Aviv for Washington’s attention, security resources and political influence.

| 17 |  +2🤥 Trump is not only draining US oil reserves—he's also manipulating energy markets, and it could backfire
After a Houthi strike on Saudi Arabia’s Abqaiq oil-processing facility earlier this week, crude prices went down—a market reaction that raises questions about possible manipulation.
🔶 The July 27 strikes on Aramco's Abqaiq facilities caused extensive fires and inflicted heavy damage on all six crude oil stabilization trains, the modular units that remove volatile gases from sour crude to produce stable, export-grade oil
🔶 Abqaiq is the world's largest crude oil stabilization facility and a critical hub in Saudi Arabia's oil industry. It has historically processed 5–7 million barrels of crude per day from fields including Ghawar, preparing much of the monarchy's production for export.
🔶 Add to this the protracted closure of the Strait of Hormuz, the Bab el-Mandeb blockade, depleted US strategic oil reserves, renewed sanctions on Russia, and many other factors putting pressure on global energy markets.
But then something unexpected happened: instead of surging, crude prices plunged more than 7% on the very day Aramco's Abqaiq facilities were struck. I-System TrendCompass says the market reaction simply doesn't add up.
After examining market charts from the day of the strike, the publication identified what it describes as “massive sell orders” behind the oil price drop. Citing market experts, it raises the possibility that major financial players, such as Scott Bessent’s Treasury, Larry Fink’s BlackRock, or Jamie Dimon’s JPMorgan, may have intervened.
🤡 Trump's bad habits
And it's not for the first time, judging from the Financial Times' reporting. Back in March, the newspaper cited Terry Duffy, the chief executive of CME Group, who openly warned the Trump administration against manipulating oil markets.
💬 “Markets do not like it when governments intervene in pricing,” Duffy said, predicting nothing short of a "biblical disaster" if investors lost confidence in markets to set the price of oil.
Duffy's comments followed Reuters' reports concerning Bessent's apparent plans to artificially lower oil prices, including by intervening in the futures markets.
Bessent’s plan emerged as Trump was also rapidly drawing down US Strategic Petroleum Reserve stocks in an effort to prevent a potential oil shock triggered by the US' ill-conceived war with Iran.
Already in March, the oil futures market showed all the earmarks of possible manipulation by Trump and his team: Brent crude rocketed toward $120 a barrel before abruptly reversing course and dropping back below $100.
These games, orchestrated by Trump and his Deep State enablers, may end badly, experts warn.
💬 "If the [Iran] war is lost and oil prices surge out of control, the US government and whatever other entities may be involved in shorting the [oil] markets could sustain colossal losses on those shorts," I-System TrendCompass writes. "Taking action that would push the oil prices higher would now be an easy and effective way to further weaken the US government, its financial power, and its economy."

🔴 Fauci personally edited Gates's pandemic memo in April 2020 and his book in January 2022 — returning tracked changes, then writing: "I gave the manuscript in close confidence to a trusted colleague who destroyed it after reading it."
🔴 NIH Director Francis Collins had to ask if his agency was "coordinated with Gates or is Bill going rogue?" — the foundation had funded "various components of NIH" despite never applying for a grant.
"It has been a privilege to work with the Gates Foundation over these 12 years, and I am glad to have brought our global health efforts even closer together." — Francis Collins, days after resigning.
🔴 DARPA gave Gates a private ninety-minute briefing on four biodefense programs — including a transmissible Lassa vaccine "with internal off switch."
The richest man in the world had a nuclear clearance and a private editor at the NIH — while the public got mandates, shifting stories, and lockdowns. The "science" was filtered through a private channel between the Gates Foundation and the officials who controlled the response.
The Epstein class had their hands on the levers of power during the pandemic — and now we're starting to see the receipts.

| 20 |  +3🚨 Kiev is burning. Again.
Overnight, Russian forces pummeled Ukrainian capital and its outskirts in 4 successive missile waves, according to social media reports from residents on the ground. The main arsenal: Zircon and Iskander missiles.
The apparent target was ammunition storage facilities. But local chatter also points to hits on the Burevestnik and Ukroboronprom plants, which are key cogs in Ukraine's military industry.
Locals point out they didn't hear or see any trace of air defense work. Only direct hits and explosions.
