Trump thought he held all the cards, but has come up against an opponent who either canโ€™t or doesnโ€™t know how to fold & has no intention of doing so. The US strategy appears to hinge on a swift capitulation; Israel having pushed America to war is now happy to tuck in behind. 1/5
2/ The signs are not good, despite the incredible onslaught being unleashed on Iran. Public opinion is low, fear in the region is widespread, and the previously infallible defence systems that intercept missiles and drones are proving fallible and in short supply.
3/ America is now reaching for plans B, C & D with more equipment flowing in and whispers of ground troops and proxies to try and force a fundamental change of regime. But warnings to US citizens in the region now suggest that the situation is about to take a turn. Image

A new Russian air-launched cruise missile called โ€œIzdeliye 30โ€ has a jam-resistant 12-element โ€œComet-M12โ€ CRPA satellite navigation system.
The estimated range of the new missile is 1,500 km, with a speed of 600โ€“800 km/h, and an 800 kg warhead.

Controlled Reception Pattern Antennas resist jamming by adjusting reception.
Using multiple elements, directions of lowest sensitivity (nulls) are aimed toward a jammer, while maintaining gain for GPS signals.
Adaptive beamforming defeats multiple jammers for stable reception.
2/ Image
The new missile is apparently a cheaper analogue of the Kh-101 cruise missile for Tu-95 and Tu-160 bombers.
It has a composite body instead of aluminum, which makes it more suitable for mass production.

๐Ÿงต Important Thread On Historicity of Shahiya Rajputs of Bhatti Stocks.

The motive of this post is only to provide certifiable evidence that is sure to turn the tides in discussion on origins of Hindu Shahis or Shahis in total.

[ 1/6 ] Image
The Shahiyas of Kabul, Sindha and Lahore as well were of the same stock, that is they were Rajputs. Recently discovered Inscription from Afghan mentions Shahi Rajaputra Vyagrashura, who is called a Rajaputra thrice in his own inscription while he is a king in reality.

[ 2/6 ] Image
Image
Note, i am not making up any stuff here you heard me right 7th century Brahmi Inscription mentions Shahi Rulers with Rajaputra Descent. This further affirms their Bhatti origins. Evidence from Kalhana also proves that Rajaputra means 36 kuli Rajputs in Kashmir & Sindha.

An operation planned entirely for a 5-day war

As weโ€™ve been discussing over the past few days, the shortage of interceptors is already critical and is directly affecting the United States, Israel, and their allies, who are now openly accusing the U.S. of turning its back on them and prioritizing Israelโ€™s protection instead.

Not to mention the failure to evacuate the bases, with soldiers reportedly hiding in hotels in the face of such obvious bombardment in a conflict of this scale. Very soon these countries will be left completely defenseless.

In the best-case scenario, there will only be enough ammunition left for another 4 days if Iran returns to its initial pace of attacks.

But thatโ€™s not even the main concern. In the configuration most oriented toward anti-missile defense, which is almost certainly the loadout of the two Carrier Strike Groups currently stationed in the region, the number of Tomahawks should range between 300 and 500 missiles.

Since hundreds have already been expended in the last 3 days, itโ€™s quite possible that no more than 100โ€“150 remain o even less.

So, in addition to the interceptor shortage, the Tomahawk inventory is also dropping fast, and they can only be reloaded in port. Although the Navy is working on at-sea reload capability, it is still not operational.

Everything was planned for a lightning war that never materialized. Now weโ€™re seeing chaos: soldiers dying, aircraft and drones being shot down, critical shortages of both interceptors and Tomahawks, and none of the main objectives achieved yet.

On top of that, only a small portion of those Tomahawks are anti-ship variants, and at least 20 of them have already been used to sink Iranian vessels.

Why is this so serious? Iran still operates a navy with more than 30 ships and hundreds of fast attack boats armed with missiles, forces that have not yet entered the fight.

Could they simply be shadowing the U.S. fleet and waiting for the American VLS cells to run dry?

Iโ€™m raising a very real possibility: the United States could soon find itself exposed, lacking land-based missile defenses and with no meaningful firepower left at sea.

My impression is that the entire operation was designed for just 5 days of war.
Itโ€™s frightening how badly Iran has been underestimated, and now itโ€™s pushing them into a deeper war, resorting to desperate moves to pull other players to join the war.

No idea what they were thinking, but if theyโ€™d read my previous reports, theyโ€™d be way better positioned today ๐Ÿ˜Ž
I know the US has top-tier professionals in this field and they got the reading right, but it's not only the US, the entire world is going through a period of political chaos right now, with enormous pressure weighing on every type of decision or strategic vision.

2010 (Appeal to Muslims globally)

In a message emphasizing unity & resistance, Khamenei said (roughly translated):

โ€œโ€ฆthe major duty of the elite of the Islamic Ummah isโ€ฆ sympathy and assistance to the nations of Afghanistan, Pakistan, Iraq and Kashmirโ€ฆ
and to engage in struggle and resistance against the aggressions of the United States, the Zionist regimeโ€ฆ.โ€

โ€” This ties Kashmir to other Muslim conflicts in a broader ideological frame.

2017 Eid-ul-Fitr Remarks
Khamenei linked Kashmir with other conflicts like
Yemen and Bahrain and urged the Muslim world to act:

โ€œThe Muslim world should openly support people ofโ€ฆ Kashmir and repudiate oppressors and tyrants who attacked [them].โ€

โ€” This call frames Kashmir as part of a collective struggle.
