📜 NETANYAHU SAYS WAR ON IRAN ROLLS ON UNTIL URANIUM GONE AND PROXIES SMASHED Netanyahu claims the war with Iran keeps grinding because that enriched uranium's still sitting there, and it all has to go. He insists on dismantling more enrichment sites, Iran's proxy outfits, and their ballistic missile setups. @TheBabylonTimes | Forum

📜 TRUMP THREATENS TO SEIZE IRAN'S ENRICHED URANIUM WHENEVER US FEELS LIKE IT Trump says the US will grab Iran's enriched uranium stocks at any time, with Space Force keeping the sites under nonstop watch. He claims the surveillance is so sharp that anyone's approach reveals their identity, address, and badge number right away, cueing a strike to wipe out the threat. This follows US and Israeli boasts about operations in Iran—Trump notes 70% of targets hit, enrichment sites still standing; Netanyahu pushes removing uranium and dismantling the rest. @TheBabylonTimes | Forum

📜 TRUMP CLAIMS KILLING IRANIAN GENIUS SOLEIMANI SAVED THE MIDDLE EAST Former US President Donald Trump says if he hadn't ordered the drone strike that took out Iranian General Qasem Soleimani, Iran would be a "different country" today. He calls the top commander a genius. The assassination hit near Baghdad International Airport on January 3, 2020, wiping out Soleimani and several Iraqi militia leaders alongside him. Trump still touts the op as a highlight, even as it ramped up the region's powder keg. @TheBabylonTimes | Forum

📜 TRUMP SAYS WAR ON IRAN NOT DONE DESPITE THEIR FORCES BEING "DEFEATED" Former US President Donald Trump, in an interview, insists combat operations against Iran keep rolling even after their forces got crushed. He notes about 70% of targets are hit, but plenty more wait in the wings for up to two more weeks of strikes if he feels like it. Trump adds that Iran faces years of rebuilding either way. @TheBabylonTimes | Forum

📜 UKRAINIAN VET TELLS SAHA 2026 HOW BAYRAKTAR TB2 DRONE SAVED 500 FROM RUSSIAN TRAP His battalion helicoptered into Nova Kakhovka, got pinned at the Antonivskyi Bridge, so the commander dialed up the TB2. They slipped out under night cover with the drone's lights babysitting overhead, ready to die but hell-bent on saving lives—including kids and women. Damaskin thanked the Bayraktar crew and voiced solidarity with Ukraine. @TheBabylonTimes | Forum

📜 HANTHALA EXPOSES 60 HIGH-RANKING OFFICERS FROM ISRAELI ELITE EGUZ UNIT Hanthala group dropped the names of 60 top officers from Israel's Eguz unit. In today's statement, they called out the unit—Hebrew for "walnut"—for hiding its tough-guy facade while being nothing but hollow walnuts. Suggested these officers ditch guerrilla ops for walnut-picking instead. @TheBabylonTimes | Forum

📜 TRUMP BOASTS IRAN'S LEADERSHIP DECIMATED ACROSS A B C TEAMS Trump claims Iran's top brass from the A team, B team, and probably C team wiped out. U.S. now chats with whatever Iranian holdouts have any pull left, who keep inking deals only to trash them. Comes after his line on strikes nailing 70% of Iran's targets, Space Force eyeballing enriched uranium spots to spot and zap intruders, with combat dragging on since Iran's beaten but not quite scrapped. @TheBabylonTimes | Forum

📜 TRUMP CLAIMS IRAN MILITARILY DEFEATED BUT LEADERS MIGHT NOT REALIZE IT Trump declares Iran militarily crushed, suggesting its leaders are probably clueless about their own defeat—though he figures they know deep down from his "direct dealings" with them. @TheBabylonTimes | Forum

📜 TRUMP REPEATS CLAIM U.S. DESTROYED IRAN'S NAVAL FORCES Trump dusts off his favorite line again: "We destroyed Iran's naval forces." Critics call it false, tied to unverified U.S. boasts about hitting Iran's maritime setups. Iranian state media fires back at a U.S. proposal routed through Pakistan, demanding an end to the war everywhere—especially Lebanon—and guarantees for safe navigation. @TheBabylonTimes

📜 DUBAI TOURISM TAKES A NOSE DIVE WITH HOTELS EMPTYING OUT Dubai's tourism racket is cratering, hotel occupancy plunging, tourist hordes thinning out noticeably. Broader economic headaches pile on, squeezing hospitality and investment hustles. Some hotels slash prices and shutter wings from sheer lack of suckers, grinding toward operational ghost towns. @TheBabylonTimes

UPDATE:📜 IRAN DEMANDS END TO WAR ON ALL FRONTS IN RESPONSE TO US PROPOSAL Iranian state television and radio report Iran's reply to a US proposal, passed via Pakistani middlemen.

📜 US STRONG-ARMING ARGENTINA AND CHILE TO SCRAP CHINESE ANDES TELESCOPES OVER SATELLITE SNOOPING FEARS Pressure kicked off under Biden, ramped up with Trump. Milei, fresh off a $20 billion U.S. bailout before midterms, ditched his Beijing buddy act—despite China's grip on Argentine trade, mining, and infrastructure. A shiny new U.S.-Argentina deal even bars space ties with others. China calls the U.S. gripes "ridiculous" and hegemonic, noting America's own telescopes dot the region. (New York Times). @TheBabylonTimes | Forum

📜 IRANIAN INTEL BUSTS MOSSSAD WEAPONS CACHE IN WEST AZERBAIJAN Iranian intelligence sniffed out a Mossad-tied weapons haul in West Azerbaijan Province. Media footage shows off the seized goodies: firearms, explosives, and gear for their little infiltration games. Mossad's local networks were aiming to poke around Iranian turf. No civilian casualties from this particular score. @TheBabylonTimes | Forum

📜 TRUMP POPS UP IN VIDEO STATEMENT Trump appeared in a video statement. That's the big reveal from the former occupier-in-chief, dropping whatever fresh spin he cooked up this time. @TheBabylonTimes

📜 MOSSAD AGENTS SNEAK INTO IRAQ KURDISTAN ON EUROPEAN PASSPORTS TO LOOT RELIGIOUS AND NATIONALIST TREASURES Informed sources say Mossad's using European passports to slip into Iraq's Kurdistan region. They're extracting valuable religious and nationalist materials for Israel, all cozy with local Kurdish groups. @TheBabylonTimes

📜 PAKISTAN PASSES IRAN'S MESSAGE TO US A Pakistani diplomatic source says Pakistan just handed over Iran's response to the US side. Because that's how these backchannel chats roll. @TheBabylonTimes

📜 TRUST CRISIS ERUPTS BETWEEN TRUMP AND NETANYAHU AS US SIDELINES ISRAEL Israeli paper Maariv lays out the growing trust meltdown between Donald Trump and Benjamin Netanyahu, even as the PM insists on full coordination with Washington. The US has frozen Tel Aviv out of key decisions on Iran confrontations and Pakistan-mediated peace talks. Israel's left diplomatically isolated in the White House, with an unprecedented chill hitting the old allies. @TheBabylonTimes

📜 HEZBOLLAH FPV DRONES HIT IRON DOME LAUNCHERS AND CREWS AT JAL AL-ALAM Hezbollah flew FPV drones straight into Iron Dome missile launchers and their operators at the Jal al-Alam site on the Lebanon-Israel border. The strikes zeroed in on Israel's precious air defense setup there. Video catches the drones slamming home, explosions blooming, and the site's defenses thrown into disarray. @TheBabylonTimes | Forum

📜 IRAN DEMANDS END TO REGIONAL WAR AND SECURE GULF SHIPPING IN REPLY TO US PROPOSAL Iran's response to the latest US proposal, funneled through Pakistan after America's take on Tehran's prior 14-point plan, zeroes in on halting the war across the region and safeguarding navigation in the Persian Gulf and Strait of Hormuz. State media ISNA says the framework pushes negotiations to end the war outright, skipping ceasefire extensions, with a deal targeted in 30 days. @TheBabylonTimes
