Video of the suspected Israeli attack against a building Kfar Sousah in southern #Damascus last night
Some Syrian sources claim the attack targeted a meeting possibly between Iranian and Palestinian Islamic Jihad officials - though this has not been confirmed
This attack does appear different, as it didn't hit the usual targets, and was carried out in a very urban area, purportedly near an Iranian cultural centre.
The Syrian regime has reported civilian casualties as a result of the strike (and so did other Syrian sources) - image via @kaisos1987

#Breaking IAEA inspectors in #Iran detected uranium enriched to 84% levels just below military grade, according to diplomats quoted by Bloomberg bloomberg.com/news/articles/…
This is a big deal, #Iran was previously reported to be enriching uranium at 60 percent.
This is also the second time this year Iran is caught making unannounced changes to its nuclear program after a change at Fordow was also caught by a surprise inspection.
Senior Iranian officials flew to #Russia last month to visit site of planned factory meant to build at least 6,000 drones Moscow would use to target #Ukraine according to a WSJ report wsj.com/articles/mosco…
The visit took place in the #Russian town of Yelabuga, about east of Moscow
The Iranian delegation was led by Brig. Gen. Abdollah Mehrabi, head of the IRGC Aerospace Force Research and Self-Sufficiency Jihad Organization, and Ghassem Damavandian, the chief executive of Iran’s Quds Aviation Industry (involved in drone-manufacturing)
#Iran's supreme leader, Ali Khamenei, has agreed to the proposal by the Head of the Judiciary calling for mass amnesty and a broad reduction of penalties for suspects and convicts in recent incidents, according to Iranian media outlets
As expected there are plenty of caveats to this purported "mass amnesty", including not committing espionage, not having direct contact with "foreign agents", not committing a murder, not committing arson, etc.

Given how arbitrary the Iranian judiciary is, this leaves plenty of leeway for the Islamic Republic to decide who is released and who isn't
Quite the escalation in #Israel, as the Supreme Court (which the Netanyahu-led government is trying to curtail) just disqualified the appointment of Aryeh Deri, a key religious ally of Bibi, as Interior and Health Minister
Netanyahu's far-right ally, Itamar Ben Gvir is already up in arms, calling this decision a "legal coup"
The petitioner who started the case against Deri (namely the Movement for Quality Government) has called on Netanyahu to respect the ruling, saying that the government “is not a rehabilitation facility for criminals,” (referring to Deri's multiple convictions)
