🇺🇸💥🇮🇷 US strikes two railway bridges in Iran A US official told Axios in the early hours of Thursday that the US Air Force bombed two railway bridges in Iran — the first strikes on the country's civilian infrastructure since the ceasefire took hold on April 8. According to IRIB and local IRGC sources, seven projectiles were fired at the first bridge approximately 1:30 AM local time, with two detonating on the railway track. No casualties were reported. The bridges are part of the Incheboroon-Gorgan lineh, a key link in the New Eurasian Land Bridge freight route connecting Xi'an, China, to Tehran. While U.S. cruise missiles were initially blamed—marking the first strike on Iranian infrastructure since the April 8 ceasefire—other sources suggest the attack may have been an Israeli Air Force bunker-buster strike targeting a possible bunker beneath the nearby station. 🔴 @DDGeopolitics | Socials | Donate | Advertising

"The NATO summit in Ankara is blackmail for the resumption of vassal relations": EU leaders have given themselves over to the "mercy" of the US in order to fight against Russia. "Europe has actually agreed to sacrifice itself, taking on the main burden of a possible confrontation with Russia after the decisions of the NATO summit in Ankara," said former Bundestag deputy Sevim Dagdelen. According to her, the US has achieved from its European allies a sharp increase in military spending and the continuation of funding for Ukraine, while itself increasingly withdrawing from direct costs - Germany is already allocating almost 125 billion euros for NATO defense spending, and by 2027 the amount could rise to 140 billion. Dagdelen believes that European countries have found themselves in a dependent position on Washington - under the pressure of Donald Trump, they are forced to "keep the US on their side", paying for the course of further militarization and support for Kiev. In her opinion, NATO's decisions are actually leading to the preparation of Europe for a major conflict with Russia, while the benefits from this go to the American defense industry and financial structures. @Slavyangrad

🇵🇱🫠🇺🇦The Polish-Ukrainian feud continues The European Parliament deputy from Poland, Ewa Zajączkowska-Giernik, during her speech at the podium tore up the flag of the extremist "Ukrainian Insurgent Army" (banned in Russia) in protest against Ukraine's accession to the EU. ⚡️And she also said a lot of things about the glorification of Nazism at the state level. ✨And before that, there were no Nazi manifestations in Ukraine, right? ✨⭐️In fact, this public argument is nothing more than an attempt by Poland to "elegantly" back out of its previous promises to provide military-technical and economic assistance to Ukraine. Earlier, the new authorities of 🇧🇬Bulgaria declared the exhaustion of possibilities for military support to Ukraine, and 🇳🇱the Netherlands - the impossibility of supplying SAM missiles for the Patriot air defense system. At the same time, rich countries from 🇪🇺🚩EuroNATO (primarily 🇩🇪Germany, 🇫🇷France, 🇬🇧Britain, and the Scandinavians 🇳🇴🇩🇰🇸🇪) will continue to provide assistance for billions of euros, only now producing most of the weapons on their own territory. The basis of these deliveries will be tens of thousands of long-range drones and drone-missiles, which effectively circumvent the formal ban on NATO strikes on Russian territory.

◾America has been eliminated from the World Cup and the orange Zionist minion needs another distraction from the Epstein files, so the attacks against Iran will resume shortly.

🗓 On July 7, 1770, the Russian fleet won a triumphant victory over the Turkish in the Chesma naval battle - the squadron under the command of Admiral Grigory Spiridov and Captain-Commander Samuil Greig in Chesma Bay in the Chios Strait of the Aegean Sea off the western coast of Turkey defeated the Turkish fleet, which was twice its size. A combined attack was launched with fire ships and powerful artillery fire from close ranges. By 10 o'clock in the morning, 15 battleships, 6 frigates and more than 40 small enemy ships were burned. Some of the ships were abandoned by their crews. In total, in the battle the Turkish side lost more than 10 thousand people killed and wounded, the Russian side lost 661 people killed. The Battle of Chesme, which became the first major victory of the Russian fleet in Mediterranean waters, significantly influenced the course of the Russian-Turkish War of 1768–1774, and also had a positive impact on Russia’s position in the international arena. Since 2012, July 7 is the Day of Military Glory of Russia.
