1/ Ukrainian Theater of War, Day 10: Today saw Russian forces transition to another operational pause. It is likely this period will be used to consolidate gains, redistribute forces, and integrate new resources that have arrived in theater. #UkraineUnderAttaсk #UkraineRussiawar Image
2/ I have made significant adjustments to the overall theater chart. This graphic has been enlarged and now depicts known locations of Belarusian units, major lines of communication in the west, NATO troop locations, supply hubs, and the general forward line of troops.
3/ Kyiv AO assessment is detailed in this chart. Key take away, little activity in this area of operations today. The Hostomel area remains heavily contested. Of note is some ONIST reporting of improved air-ground integration between Russian ground forces and attack helicopters. Image
4/ Northeast AO assessment is detailed in this chart. Key take away, almost no activity in this area today. Russian forces continued limited strikes of Chernihiv. Russian forces are 25km from the center of Kyiv in the east, they will need more troops to advance further. Image
5/ Kharkiv and Donbas AO assessments are detailed in this chart. Key take away, this is becoming the most critical area for Ukraine. Russian gains in north Luhansk increase the likelihood of breaking the stalemate before Kharkiv. Image
6/ Reports of a Ukrainian counterattack to the northwest of Kyiv reaching the border may be of great significance if substantiated and it is having the ability to retain these gains. It this indeed has occurred then the logistics hub at Belogrod is in danger of being attacked.
7/ The Southern Theater assessment is detailed in this chart. Key take away, the situation in Mariupol continues to worsen. It is likely that Ukrainian forces in the city will not be able to hold out much longer. Expect to see increased preparation to defend Odesa. Image
8/ Russian Overall Assessment. The Russians appear to be settling into an operational tempo of 5-6 days of sustained combat followed by a 24-48 pause to refit and reorganize. Setting a pace like this has risks and benefits, and opportunities for Ukraine to exploit.
9/ Ukrainian Overall Assessment. The Ukrainian military still controls key points of communication and continues to be able to contest control of its airspace with Russian Aerospace forces. Despite foreign aid, attrition will eventual ground the Ukrainian Aur Force.
10/ There are various sources for current casualty projections. they generally do not agree, as they reflect wildly different numbers. I am including what is being reported by the Russians and Ukrainians for clarities sake.
11/ Though these casualty figures are most likely not accurate and will definitely change over time, what they do bring illumination to is the brutality of modern high-intensity combat between large-scale armed forces.
12/ High-intensity combat is a meat grinder for both people and material. Combat chews up resources faster than anyone can truly replace. Whatever the final accounting, the casualty figures for this war will be horrendous.
13/ These updates have been aggregated from various OSINT sources, official Ukrainian government statements, media reports (i.e., AP News, Reuters), and American think tank reports. Daily reports will continue, major weekly assessments / analysis forthcoming.
14/ These maps have been created by me based off the most reliable information of activity in the Ukrainian Theater of War. Errors will be corrected as soon as they are identified.

1/15 🌍 Global Situation Update; Iran war D+11; Russo-Ukrainian War D+1,477; Sudanese Civil War, D+695: The international security architecture is experiencing unprecedented systemic stress. We are witnessing the simultaneous prosecution of industrialized, multi-domain warfare across three distinct geographic theaters. A breakdown of the operational picture: #IranWar2026 #EpicFury #LionsRoar #TruePromise4 #Sudan
2/ 🇸🇦🇮🇷🇮🇱🇺🇸🇦🇪 Middle East: Operations Epic Fury (U.S.) and Lion's Roar (IDF) have successfully transitioned from the initial shaping phase to sustained operational exploitation. The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) and the U.S. Air Force state that they are currently operating with "full aerial freedom" over Iranian sovereign airspace.
3/ 🇮🇱🇺🇸Today marks the most intense day of coalition strikes yet, with U.S. and Israeli assets simultaneously striking the IRGC special forces HQ, the Imam Hassan complex in Tehran, a massive Basij militia complex in Tabriz, and strategic sites in Isfahan and Qom.

1/9 🌍 Global Situation Update; Iran war D+10, Russo-Ukrainian War D+1,476: The international security architecture is facing unprecedented concurrent stress. As of March 10, 2026, the international system is simultaneously managing two high-intensity, theater-level conflicts that have fundamentally fractured the traditional concept of integrated deterrence. Here is a macro-strategic and tactical synthesis of Operations Epic Fury, Lion's Roar, and True Promise IV in the Middle Eastern theater of War and the Ukrainian TVD. #Irán #EpicFury #LionsRoar #TruePromise4 #UkraineWar #straightofhormuz
2a/9 🇺🇸🇮🇱 Persian Gulf Theater of Operations: Day 11 marks the kinetic zenith of Operations Epic Fury & Lion's Roar thus far. Secretary of War Pete Hegseth and Gen. Dan Caine confirmed March 10 as the "most intense day of strikes inside Iran". Over 5,000 targets (IRGC HQs, IADS, drone hubs) have been dismantled to date.
2b/9 🇺🇸 The sheer scale and intensity of Operation Epic Fury have exposed critical vulnerabilities within the United States defense industrial base. The Pentagon reportedly expended an estimated $5.6 billion in precision munitions during the first 48 hours of the campaign alone.

This burn rate has triggered immediate congressional alarm regarding the rapid depletion of American weapon stockpiles, mirroring and severely exacerbating the magazine depth crisis previously observed during the arming of Ukraine. The operational efficacy of the Western security architecture is currently undergoing a structural stress test, forcing a rapid transition from a posture of sustainable power projection to a mathematically grueling war of industrial attrition.

1/ Global Situation Update; Iran war D+9, Russo-Ukrainian War D+1,475: The Persian Gulf and Ukrainian theaters are currently defined by unprecedented aerospace saturation, high-intensity ground maneuverability, and massive macroeconomic volatility. A thread on the multi-domain kinetic cascade. 🧵 #USIranWar #Epicfury #LionsRoar #TruePromise4 #UkraineWar
2a/ 🇺🇸🇮🇱 Persian Gulf Theater of Operations: The US-Israeli campaign (Epic Fury/Lion's Roar) has entered a grinding, multi-domain attrition phase. The IDF reports launching over 1,600 strike sorties since the operation's inception. Despite this intense bombardment, the Iranian regime's command structure has consolidated.
2b/ 🇺🇸To maintain this unrelenting operational tempo and secure the surrounding maritime corridors, the United States established a robust three-carrier posture: the USS Gerald R. Ford (CVN-78) positioned in the Eastern Mediterranean, the USS Abraham Lincoln (CVN-72) operating in the Arabian Sea, and the USS George Washington (CVN-73) forward-deployed at Yokosuka to maintain deterrence in the Pacific theater. The USS George H.W. Bush (CVN-77) Carrier Strike Group is preparing to deploy to support Operation Epic Fury, likely joining the USS Gerald R. Ford in the Eastern Mediterranean.

1/10 Global Situation Update; Iran war D+8, Russo-Ukrainian War D+1,474: The international security architecture continues to experience severe stress. High-intensity multi-domain operations across the Middle East (Epic Fury/Lion's Roar/True Promise IV) and Eastern Europe are beginning to strategically converge.
#IranWar2026 #EpicFury #LionsRoar #TruePromise4 #USIranWar #UkraineRussiaWar
2/10 🇮🇷 Strategic Pivot: Iran's Assembly of Experts has officially named 56-year-old Mojtaba Khamenei as the new Supreme Leader. This cements IRGC hardline control and marks the first hereditary transfer of supreme power since the 1979 Islamic Revolution. U.S. President Trump immediately condemned the succession, stating the new leader will not "last long" without U.S. approval.

3/10 🇺🇸 Operation Epic Fury: CENTCOM's aerospace campaign remains relentless. U.S. B-2 Spirit stealth bombers dropped dozens of 2,000-lb penetrator munitions specifically targeting deeply buried IRGC ballistic missile launchers. Concurrently, the U.S. military confirmed a 7th American service member died from injuries sustained during an earlier March 1 attack in Saudi Arabia.

1/ 🌍 Daily Tactical Update, Iran War D+7, Russo-Ukraine War D+1,473: The global security architecture is fracturing simultaneously across two primary theaters of war. The US-Israeli Coalition continues its air campaign (Epic Fury/Lion's Roar), while it faces an asymmetric Iranian response (True Promise IV), and the Russo-Ukrainian War sees major multi-domain innovations. A thread 🧵
#IranWar #IranIsraelWar #EpicFury #LionsRoar #TruePromise4
2/ 🇮🇷🇦🇪 Persian Gulf Theater of Operations: Iran's "True Promise IV" reached a critical inflection point today. An Iranian OWA drone penetrated UAE air defenses, striking Dubai Intl Airport (DXB) near Concourse A. Operations were temporarily suspended, which paralyzed Israeli repatriation airlifts. The U.S. Embassy in Baghdad and the Consulate in Erbil, Iraq, came under drone and rocket attack by Iranian forces.

3/ 🇮🇷 Iranian Command Rupture: Paradoxically, Iranian President Pezeshkian issued a televised "apology" and conditional ceasefire to Gulf states today. In contrast, the IRGC issued a statement calling President Pezeshkian's message a “mistake”, encouraging Pezeshkian's comments to be ignored. The juxtaposition of this diplomatic off-ramp with the DXB strike strongly indicates the Provisional Leadership Council has lost operational control of forward IRGC launch units.

1/7 Daily Tactical Update, Iran War D+6 / Russo-Ukraine War D+ 1,472: We are observing synchronized, high-intensity multi-domain combat operations across two distinct theaters—the Middle East and Eastern Europe. Here is a brief OSINT and strategic rollup of the last 24 hours. 🧵👇 #IranIsraelUSWar #EpicFury #LionsRoar #TruePromiseIV
2/7 🇮🇷/🇺🇸/🇮🇱 Operations Epic Fury & Lion's Roar: The joint US-Israeli campaign has entered its 7th day. Allied forces have struck a combined 4,500+ targets (over 2,000 US strikes and 2,500 Israeli strikes), establishing near-total air superiority. March 6 kinetic strikes heavily degraded regime infrastructure in Tehran, completely destroying the Diplomatic Police Center and the Azadi Sports Complex.

3/7 🇮🇷 Operation True Promise IV: Iran continues its massive, multi-axis retaliation across the Persian Gulf and the Levant, utilizing ballistic missiles and one-way attack (OWA) drones. The sheer volume of Shahed-class munitions continues to strain regional integrated air defense systems (IADS), highlighting the rapid maturation of aerospace saturation tactics.
