Personal Thread - Morning all, this is probably going to turn into a random ramble, filled with typos (no, I will not be correcting them, this is a one hit wonder). Over the course of 2021, this account has grown massively, beyond what I thought would be possible. I never….
Thought this account would see 100 followers, let alone what it has become today and potentially in the future, so thank you, all of you, even though I know there are 1000’s of people who follow that may not see eye to eye with what we share, I hope it gives you an insight into
the events we share information about, and helps everyone understand more what is going on. As I look back at this year, so much has happened that we can’t cover, but even in the areas we do cover it has been a whirlwind of a year. We started off with the year with an incredible
Amount of speculation about how things would “play out” in Iraq/Iran due to the anniversary of the Soleimani assassination. In February, we had the USAF retaliation airstrike on the Syria/Iraq border after the attack against Erbil.

In March we had the EVERGIVEN, the meme of all memes in the Suez of memes, probably my highlight of the year because whilst it caused chaos in the supply chain across the globe it was actually something all areas of the world could smile about as it was humorous…
I still wish I had watermarked this gif.

In May we saw a war between Gaza and Israel, after tensions bubbled and boiled over in the Al-Aqsa Mosque Grounds the factions in Gaza launched the beginning of the war with rockets towards Jerusalem.

To this day, it feels like nothing has been gained by this war, similar to those in the past, of course you could say that the factions have gained deterrence, but on the ground, what does this do? Factions are already issuing statements in the last week about escalation(s).
In August we witness the US evacuate from Afghanistan. I can’t really sum this one up properly I don’t think, it was an event that left an impression on millions of people in millions of different ways, and will be talked about for years to come.

In October we saw a reported IDF airstrike in Palmyra region against IRGC (and affiliated) assets, this lead to a response against Al-Tanf Garrison on the Syria/Iraq border, in a message that Israel and the US are the same in the eyes of Iran.

And now, December, yes, I skipped several months, like Hezbollah getting fuel to Lebanon from Iran via Syria in September, but there was so much. Anyway, December Iran/Israel, the messaging, the propaganda, the back and forth over the last few weeks has grown and will continue
Into 2022, I wont say much here because what is there to say? It’s just going to continue, a thin line exists, people speculated it would be crossed this year and yet, we had the tanker wars, cyber wars, proxy wars, and yet that thin line still survives, it still exists.
As we look forward to 2022, things on this channel wont change, we will still meme, and interact were we can, to give information and findings, to locate airstrikes, to keep you followers updated. I wish you all a wonderful New Year and a prosperous 2022 and thank you again
For the continued support that you give us.

- David (Adam and Knish don’t know i’ve written this, but they love you all too.)

(Ramble complete)

#Iran/#Syria - Supply Chain Disruption, Moving Target? - This is somewhat ironic as I did a year look back yesterday, but never mind, this is a subject year look back.

In January this year, reports begun to circulate, and later confirmed by analysis of an extensive…
Airstrike against multiple positions across Deir Ez-Zor (DeZ) in East #Syria against #IRGC assets and affiliated assets belonging to proxies. The DeZ has shown as a somewhat popular route for the “axis of resistance” as it allowed them to transport via ground into Syria from Iraq
It allowed more flexibility along the route as several areas associated to IRGC activities in Iraq could be used in a “run up” towards the border with Syria. Despite this in 2019 there was reportedly 5 airstrikes affiliated to Israel conducted in Iraq.

Significant impact reportedly caused by an #Israel|i strike at Latakia Port this evening. #Syria|n MoD reports the missiles came from the “depth of the Mediterranean”.
No #Syria|n Air Defense Systems were active this evening, a few AA guns however did attempt to intercept the missiles. At least 3 impacts reported.
Close up of secondary explosions at Latakia Port, #Syria.

Dubious curiosity satisfied, despite the runway at #Damascus Intl. Airport, #Syria currently under refurb and closed per NOTAM A0208/21, imagery courtesy of @capellaspace confirms three impacts 600m’s each apart, reportedly from an #Israel|I airstrike in the early hours yesterday
This isn’t the first time this runway has been struck, and the area to the “bottom” of it, often associated to #IRGC activities. Personally, find this one more odd than usual, we’ve seen runways struck often in reported airstrikes and they take a matter of weeks to patch…
And considering the on going work, it’ll just delay them in their workplan.

Included, previous runway strike in #Damascus Airport.

Inital imagery via @sentinel_hub of #Natanz Nuclear Facility, #Iran shows no changes in the core area to suggest any form of explosion etc. Mountain area to the south checked as well, nothing there either.
@sentinel_hub Low resolution imagery is always a difficult one to interpret as there are larger variables that can come into consideration,but when it comes to damage from explosions they are usually more obvious, for example, the explosion at the IRGC base in September.
@sentinel_hub Another good example of when dark spots can be spotted on low resolution.

Lots of reports of an explosion in the vicinity of Natanz in the last hour, cause is currently unknown.
This image is circulating (left) social media with reports of the events, it’s an old image cropped from another older image (right) ImageImage
Reports circulating social media outlets report the explosion was “in the sky” - which aligns with reports of air defense being the cause of the explosion, at the moment however, all these reports are unconfirmed.
