1/ Ukrainian TVD, Day 108-123. Mid-June has seen the Russian Armed Forces maintain their operational momentum and make important gains in the Donbas while the Ukrainian Armed Forces continue to press their counteroffensive in the Kherson Oblast. #UkraineRussiaWar #UkraineWar Image
2/ Weather Outlook. The ten-day forecast will see temps range from 32-28 C during the day and 20-15 C at night. Little to know cloud cover favors air & missile strikes, while good night illumination may hamper UAF SOF activity. Wind Speed & direction favors RAF artillery. Image
3/ Kharkiv OD. The situation here remains tenuous for both sides as heavy losses, coupled with priority of effort to the Izium-Lysychansk area have reduced the combat capacity & capability of units operating in Kharkiv. The RAF will continue attempts to advance closer to Kharkiv. Image
4/ Ternova-Rubizhne AO. This area is the most critical portion of the Kharkiv OD for Russian & Ukrainian forces. Opposing force ratios will likely remain at 1:1 for quite some time. The RAF will likely continue their effort to regain control of Staryi Saltiv & the T2104 Hwy. Image
5/ Severodonetsk-Donetsk OD. The tactical situation in the Popasna Salient & south of Lysychansk has deteriorated for the UAF. Russian forces have managed to advance north toward Lysychansk along the Siverskyi Donets. These successes have forced the UAF to abandon Severodoentsk. Image
6/ The UAF is in the process of consolidating and establishing new defensive positions in Lysychansk, but Russian forces are attempting to press their advantage along the T1303 Hwy and seize the heights in southern Lysychansk before the UAF fortify them. Image
7/ If the RAF can keep the UAF units in Lysychansk off balance and threaten their encirclement it is likely the Ukrainian General Staff will opt to withdraw from Luhansk to establish a new defensive line on the heights running along the west side of the T0513 Hwy.
8/ NW of Slovyansk Russian forces have been making slow but steady advances on a broad front roughly from Sosnove to Kuruika. Although UAF defensive positions are holding against successive assaults, pressure from the east could weaken this line.
9/ Zaporizhzhia OD. Activity in the OD generally remains localized attacks to improve tactical positioning, however the UAF has conducted a sizeable counterattack south of Vuledar that has liberated several towns and shifted the line of contact at least 10km further south. Image
10/ Partisan activity in this OD is steadily increasing with attacks common in Melitopol targeting Russian occupation administrators. Partisan activity is also targeting Russian supply convoys (rail & road) moving equipment through Melitopol to the Vasylivka & Polohy areas.
11/ Odesa-Kherson OD. The Ukrainian counteroffensive into northern Kherson has made gradual success over the last couple of weeks. Around Kherson City, the RAF has been pushed back from its first line of defenses, with the area between Blahodatne & Kyselivka heavily contested. Image
12/ The UAF retains a window of opportunity in Kherson to seize key points that will make the RAFs long term defense of Kherson problematic. These gains must be made before Russian EW, close air, & indirect fire support prevent a further penetration of secondary RAF defenses.
13/ Black Sea OTMO. The Russian blockade of Odesa continues but is coming under increased UAF air & UCAV pressure. Improved UAF strike capabilities threaten to degrade the Russian Black Seas Fleet ability to interdict shipping in and out of Odesa. Image

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.
