🇮🇷🇺🇸⚡️ - The US military has been secretly overseeing ship-to-ship oil transfers near the Strait of Hormuz to keep Gulf energy flowing - using the same smuggling technique Iran pioneered to bypass sanctions, Reuters reports.

The operation began in early May off the UAE coast near Fujairah and Oman’s Sohar port, involving at least 92 ships with transponders off and lights dimmed. At least 90 million barrels have moved through the network so far. The Apache helicopter downed by Iran on June 9 - which triggered US retaliatory strikes - was involved in this very operation, four sources tell Reuters. CENTCOM denied participation. ADNOC and Kuwait Oil Tanker Company are among the most active participants. Operators must pass US Navy compliance screening in Bahrain before being assigned transit windows. CFR president Michael Froman notes the irony: “The US is now taking a page out of the playbook of China, Russia, and even Iran, whose dark fleets pioneered these techniques to evade US sanctions.” “This is a temporary solution amid exceptional times” - Washington Institute maritime risk specialist.​​​​​​​​​​​​

⚡️⚠️🇮🇷🇶🇦😒 US President: ❗️"Qatar and Iran share a land border, and you can walk from one country to the other!" Reference: The closest distance between the borders of Iran and Qatar is about 200 kilometers across the waters of the Persian Gulf, and the two countries do not share a land border.

The Russian system is called "Volna Kupol Garant," the enemy claims. The new electronic warfare system is a system of satellite antennas mounted on several trailers that emits powerful jamming at a specific Starlink satellite, disrupting its communication with terminals on the ground. "Technically, a Starlink satellite receives signals from terminals in the 14-14.5 GHz range. This range is divided into eight channels, each 62.5 MHz wide. The Russians simply took eight satellite dishes, pointed them at the satellite, and each dish transmits jamming on its own channel. That's it. The satellite is deafened," the enemy statement reads. One electronic warfare system provides protection for approximately 20 square kilometers and is currently used to cover the Novorossiya highway. from Ukrainian drones, which is why the enemy has opened a hunt for these highly visible systems.

🇮🇱🇺🇸🇮🇷⚡️ — Washington is preparing to withdraw approximately 20% of the refueling aircraft stationed at Israel’s Ben Gurion Airport following the US-Iran MoU, Channel 12 reports.

72 US military refueling aircraft currently occupy significant space at Ben Gurion, causing congestion and threatening mass flight cancellations affecting over 2 million passengers this summer. Israeli Transportation Minister Miri Regev demanded immediate removal, warning Netanyahu that if half the planes are not gone by Tuesday, more than 2 million citizens will face canceled flights including Rosh Hashanah travel to Uman. Withdrawn aircraft may be relocated to Europe but kept on standby to redeploy to Israel if war resumes — Channel 12 did not confirm whether planes would leave Israel entirely or move to Israeli Air Force bases. Israel’s Civil Aviation Authority head warned in May that turning Ben Gurion into a “US military base with limited commercial operations” threatens Israeli airlines’ economic stability and the return of foreign carriers. Netanyahu said Monday the Iran deal “was made by Trump — we have our own interests,” adding the struggle against Iran is “not over”; War Minister Katz separately vowed Israel will not withdraw from south Lebanon and will strike Iran “with full force” if it responds to Lebanon violations.

Russian engineers have developed a Starlink satellite jammer. The Volna Kupol Grant electronic warfare system is capable of suppressing Starlink satellite communications by creating powerful interference on eight data transmission channels. The system consists of six trailers with satellite antennas under radio-transparent caps, covers up to 20 square kilometers, and is already being used to protect the Novorossiya highway from Ukrainian drones. 📢

🇺🇸⚠️The Pentagon is increasing its focus on surprise drone swarm strike tactics. In April and May, the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) held a competition among manufacturers to develop robotic container systems for launching autonomous tactical drone swarms. The program aims to create autonomous swarms of up to 500 UAVs. The containers in this swarms will function as autonomous launch, recovery, recharging, logistics, and command and control units. The Pentagon's Defense Innovation Unit (DIU) is seeking similar solutions as part of the Containerized Autonomous Drone Delivery System (CADDS) program. The initiative envisions the creation of a container – a "robotic hive" – that will be ready for launch within hours and controlled and maintained by no more than two operators. The container should be capable of maintaining drones in hibernation mode for months. In May of this year, DZYNE demonstrated the BlitzBox ISO container launcher concept, which can launch up to 100 Blitz Group 1 tactical UAVs with a range of 150 km (❗). ✨These aspirations are aimed at the growing number of drones in the US military, which will require a large number of operators to operate and maintain. Autonomous systems and AI pilots will significantly reduce operator training requirements. This aligns with the "Drone Dominance" program, launched in late 2025, which envisions the active robotization of troops over the next two to three years.

‼️🇺🇦🇪🇺 Ukraine's accession to the EU might not be a bad thing, because then they will fall apart, says Lavrov. ▪️Ukraine's inclusion in the EU will be exploited by those who want to militarize the European Union. ▪️The EU has a tendency to become a military bloc. ▪️Currently, the Trump administration is cooling its stance on Europe in terms of the US contribution to its security. ▪️The European Union is building all its security-strengthening structures against Russia. ▪️The West is trying to regain its hegemonic role, deciding everything for everyone, and this shows a tendency toward the revival of Nazism. ▪️Zelensky is engaging in "megaphone diplomacy," as he did with his rude message to Putin. ⚠️.

🇮🇷🇺🇸⚡️ — The operation to lift the US naval blockade has been implemented, IRIB News Agency reports. ➡️ Vessels are still required to coordinate with the IRGC to pass through the Strait of Hormuz.​​​​​​​​​​​​​

🇷🇺🇺🇦🇪🇺⚡️ - Maybe it wouldn't be a bad idea for Ukraine to join the European Union - the EU would just collapse then - Lavrov

🇺🇦 🚚 🇷🇴 New logistics routes are being implemented between the Romanian port of Constanța and Ukraine For the first time since 1989, the movement of freight trains on the section 🇲🇩 Prut-2 (Moldova) – 🇷🇴 Felcsút (Romania) has been resumed. The modernization has been ongoing since 2025 and included the replacement of 3,000 sleepers and the reconstruction of the railway bridge over the Prut River. The project is inextricably linked with the access of transit freight trains from Ukraine to the Romanian port of Constanța. As a result of the work on the section, rails of two standards have been laid – trains on the "Soviet" gauge (1520 mm) can enter the territory of the Prut-2 station, and those heading to Romania follow the European gauge (1435 mm). This eliminates the need to reload goods and change wheel sets directly at the border, speeding up and reducing the cost of the process. Also in Moldova, the repair of a 400-meter section of the railway Cahul – Giurgiulești (near the village of Valeni) is expected to be completed soon. This restores direct railway access to the Giurgiulești International Free Port, which in February 2026 was sold to the administration of the port 🇷🇴 Constanța. As a result, goods from 🇺🇦 Ukraine (grain, agricultural products, building materials) can now be delivered more easily and cheaply by rail directly to Giurgiulești, and from there by barge on the Danube to the Constanța anchorage and vice versa. In addition, in May of this year, a regular railway freight route was launched from 🇺🇦 Perechyn (Zakarpattia) to 🇷🇴 Constanța (Romania), which also involves a quick change of wheel sets at the border (2-3 hours). In the pilot transports, 2,000 tons of petroleum products and sheet metal have already been delivered. ✨ The Romanian port of Constanța has long been included in the strategic infrastructure of the southern part of NATO's eastern flank and receives funds for modernization within the framework of the EU's "military mobility" program. ✨ ⭐️ EuroNATO is building infrastructure for the future deployment of its military contingents in the Ukrainian colony. It is logical to , which will allow, at the right moment, to quickly move NATO military trains to the east. ⚡️

🇷🇺🇺🇦⚡️ — The Starlink satellite jammer was developed by Russian engineers The Starlink countermeasures system is called "Wave Dome Garant". The new EW complex consists of a system of satellite antennas and affects eight communication channels with a width of 62.5 MHz each. The system emits powerful interference to a specific Starlink satellite, interrupting its connection with ground terminals. One such complex includes six trailers with satellite dishes, which are hidden under a radio-transparent dome and provide protection for approximately 20 square km and is currently actively used to shield the "Novorossiya" route from Ukrainian drones. The Ukrainians have already started complaining that the new development for the Russian Armed Forces is causing them significant problems. However, there are also drawbacks - the EW system is currently quite large and noticeable, but this problem will be rectified in the future.

⚡️⚠️🇮🇱🇺🇸 Without the United States, Israel would not exist — Trump 📍Other statements by the US President: ❗️Netanyahu must be more responsible regarding Lebanon. ❗️I am not disappointed in Netanyahu. We have an excellent relationship. ❗️Netanyahu came to Washington and begged—he begged Obama not to make that deal with Iran. Obama sided with Iran, not Israel, and he made that deal. ❗️Under my deal, if Iran got nuclear weapons, they would be destroyed. Under Obama's deal, they were allowed to have nuclear weapons. ❗️I suggested to Israel that they let Syria deal with Hezbollah. Frankly, I think they could have done a better job. ❗️I've never cared about regime change, but it looks like regime change has happened in Iran. I don't believe in regime change. I've watched regime change for years, and it never works. It has to happen naturally. ❗️Iran even struck Turkey once. I never understood it. No one will. That's the problem. These are completely irrational people, and now they're gone. ❗️The current Iranian leadership is very rational. It's a pleasure to deal with them; they're strong and intelligent. They're not radicalized and they're eager to help their country. ❗️If it weren't for the United States, Israel wouldn't exist right now. Every smart person in Israel knows this. ❗️Russia needs to make a deal. Russia has lost a colossal number of people, as has Ukraine. 📍To the Emir of Qatar: ❗️You fought and helped us with great courage. You will always be my friend.
