Valerii Puzik spent 40 days in a dirt hole with no food, no water, no signal.

He serves on the Zaporizhzhia front. He calls it “infantry hell” and his second birthday. — Ukrainska Pravda 1/

Puzik: “We were five in the hole — three Ukrainians and two Colombians.”

When supplies ran out, they split one can and a 14-cm piece of ham with a tape measure. Millimeters per person. 2/

Puzik: “Hunger strips you bare. You stop playing roles.”

It peels off manners, status, fear — until only one thing remains: survive. 3/

Rubio: The hardest hits on Iran are yet to come. The next phase will be even more punishing.

We have clear objectives and will act as long as it takes to achieve them. When this operation is over, the world will be a safer place.

1/

Rubio: In a year or so, Iran would cross a line of immunity — with so many missiles and drones no one could stop them. This operation had to happen.

Look at the damage they cause now, weakened. Imagine them a year from now.

2/

Rubio: The United States would not deliberately target a school.

Our focus is on missiles and drones — their production and launch sites — not civilian infrastructure. Iran, on the other hand, is hitting hotels, embassies, airports, and oil facilities.

Operation Epic Fury is now in Day 4.

Iranian Shahed suicide drones are swarming Gulf airspace. They're targeting military bases and infrastructure.

Russia has been using Shaheds against Ukraine for 3,5 years.

And Ukraine knows how to deal with Shaheds cheaply. 1/

A Shahed-136 costs roughly $20k–$50k.
A Patriot PAC-3 interceptor costs about $4–6 million.
THAAD can exceed $10 million per shot.

This is asymmetric warfare by design — forcing defenders to burn gold on aluminum. 2/

In parts of the Middle East, Patriots are intercepting slow propeller drones because there is no cheaper defensive tier available.

Every $5M missile fired at a $30k drone weakens ballistic missile coverage. That is the strategic trap. 3/

Rutte: Europeans are stepping up [in backing US strikes on Iran].

Merz backed taking out Iran’s nuclear and ballistic capability. The UK committed defensive assets. Europe supports degrading a threat to Europe, Israel and the region. 1/

Q: Will NATO be involved in Iran?

Rutte: No. The Americans and the Israelis are leading this campaign.

Allies enable it where they can, especially as Iran lashes out at Dubai, Bahrain, Oman and others, hitting civilians and hotels. 2/

Rutte: I am glad Iran’s nuclear and ballistic capabilities are being degraded.

I hope the Iranian people will have a vote in their future government.

I expect Iran to stop exporting chaos to the region, to Europe and to Ukraine by enabling Russia’s war. 3/

How to hide from missiles? People keep asking me.

They are now a threat not only in Ukraine, but also over Israel, Saudi Arabia, Cyprus, Bahrain and the UAE.

Here’s what Ukrainians learned under constant Shahed and missile attacks.

1/

Rule #1: Go underground.

Best option — a proper shelter or deep metro station.

If not: underground parking or a solid basement (better with 2 exits).

Most people die from shrapnel, not direct hits.

2/

No shelter nearby?

Use the “two walls” rule. Stay inside, away from windows. Put two solid walls between you and the street.

Sit low. Cover your head. Avoid balconies, glass facades, top floors.

Pahlavi: My message to Trump is that I'm here to echo and join millions of my compatriots inside and outside of Iran to thank him for having the courage to do what is not easy, but intervene.

He will go in the annals of Iranian history as the most celebrated foreign leader. 1/

Pahlavi: Our 4 core principles

- Iran's territorial integrity.
- Separation of religion from state
- Equality of all citizens under the law and individual liberties.
- Democratic process to allow the people to decide what their future system of governance should be. 2/

Pahlavi: From the day I left, I never “left” Iran. Iran had been on my mind every single year of my life. When I wake up in the morning, the first thing that is in my mind is Iran. 3/
