Iran has placed GPS jammers on Iran-controlled Abu Musa Island, close to the Strait of Hormuz entrance, intending to force ships to mistakenly wander into Iranian waters, providing Iran a pretext to seize them.

LONG THREAD

1)
 @BBC once again rushes to the support of #Iran’s mullahs by resorting to publishing cheap #FakeNews about U.S. sanctions that are crippling this regime.

“How sanctions affect Iran... in five objects”
2)
 On the issue of medicine, BBC says U.S. sanctions are resulting in shortages in Iran.

Here’s what BBC won’t talk about.

The mullahs’ state-run outlets boast about the regime’s readiness to send medicine/medical equipment to Venezuela.

 June 19: “Iran exports medicine to 30 countries”

So, Iran does have money & medicine. Corrupt officials, however, are seeking their own profits.

 #Iran's sanctioned FM @JZarif just tweeted citing #Iran's "Journalist Day".

A reminder about how the mullahs' regime treats journalists.

"Iran has been one of the world’s most repressive countries for journalists for the past 40 years."

#BREAKING
#Iran has given ballistic missiles to Shi’ite proxies in #Iraq and is developing the capacity to build more there to deter attacks on its interests in the Middle East and to give it the means to hit regional foes, Iranian, Iraqi and Western sources said.
Reuters: "According to three #Iranian officials, two Iraqi intelligence sources and two Western intelligence sources, Iran has transferred short-range ballistic missiles to allies in Iraq over the last few months."
#IranDeal
The Zelzal, Fateh-110 and Zolfaqar missiles in question have ranges of about 200 km to 700 km, putting Saudi Arabia’s capital Riyadh or the #Israeli city of Tel Aviv within striking distance if the weapons were deployed in southern or western #Iraq.
