🚨💀🇮🇱 Mossad waging full-scale sabotage war against Iran.

But there is a clear playbook for CRUSHING foreign saboteurs.

Insights from Retd FSB Lt. Col. & Alpha vet Andrey Popov:

🪖SPIDERWEB TACTICS

Israel’s op in Iran mirrors Ukraine’s “Spiderweb” tactic — decentralized attacks using "sleeping drones" & hidden logistics networks.

These drones can stay dormant for 5-10 years, activated through global shipping loopholes in containers & modified vehicles.

🔎CIVILIAN TIPS ARE KEY

80% of plots are uncovered via human intel.

Hunters spotting unusual activity, villagers noticing suspicious "work crews," or truck drivers reporting odd cargo.

This grassroots network is more reliable than costly monitoring systems — especially in rural areas.

💥INFILTRATE BEFORE A STRIKE

Agents work to map entire logistics chains, tracking the movement of suspicious shipping containers, modified vehicles like camper vans.

4/6
👉LOGISTICS IN FOCUS

1st step: identifying how hundreds of drones would make it into the country.

Logistics algorithms should be developed to trace drone origins & delivery routes.

+ Monitoring specialized electronics purchases that could indicate drone production.

5/6
😎FROM SCI-FI TO REALITY

There's an innovative approach that combines intel data & unlikely sources like fiction novels & films.

Russia is even developing AI to scan creative works for potential attack blueprints before terrorists can act — just like in movies about the CIA.

SANCTIONS-BUSTER 🔥

Construction started after in 2021 Iran & China inked an economic pact that promised up to $400B in investment for New Silk Road infrastructure.

🚨 ISRAEL’S SHOCK 'N AWE FAILED AGAINST IRAN — The tables are turning.

Despite Israel’s initial strikes, Iran's defense system stayed resilient.

Pepe Escobar breaks it down🧵👇🏻 Image
💥ISRAEL’S FAILED BLITZKRIEG

Israel hit Iranian infrastructure and IRGC leadership, but Iran’s grid was back in hours.

Then came the counter-punch:

✅ Rafael weapons complex DESTROYED

✅ Haifa oil refinery IN FLAMES

✅ Iron Dome - more like Paper Dome - breached

2/7 Image
🏙 ISRAEL'S ECONOMIC WEAKNESS EXPOSED

With the myth of Israeli invincibility SHATTERED, Iran's next move - economic paralysis.

Israel has:

🔻 1 oil refinery (already hit)

🔻 3 ports (Eilat bankrupt, Haifa burning)

🔻 1 major airport (on the brink)

IRGC could paralyze Israel's economy - but showing restraint.

🚨 WHAT IF IRAN CLOSES HORMUZ STRAIGHT?

What would the damage to oil prices be if they do, amid escalating tensions?

Explained in thread 🧵 Image
💸😱PANIC BUYING

Oil could hit $130 per barrel, or even $300, if Iran closes the Strait of Hormuz, warns Dr. Tilak Doshi from the King Abdullah Petroleum Studies and Research Center.

2/6 Image
💥DANGER IS REAL

A major price spike is possible.

In 2008, oil hit $147 without major geopolitical conflict.

The 1973 Arab Oil Embargo saw a 300% price jump, says energy economist Dr. Kazi Sohag.

🚨🇮🇱💥ISRAEL'S IRON DOME: NOT AS INVINCIBLE AS YOU THINK

🇮🇷Iran just cracked Israel's air defenses, making it attack its own systems.

🇮🇷⚡️🇮🇱 ISRAEL WAS UNPREPARED FOR IRANIAN MISSILE RESPONSE

Neither Israel's "Iron Dome" nor its Home Front Command was ready to counter Iran's barrage advanced missiles.

Don't take our word for it. We have the evidence 👇

🧵 Image
🔥Iron Dome like a sieve

According to Israeli government data, missiles struck 30 locations inside Israel.

This represents an utter failure for the Iron Dome, proving it cannot intercept Iran's newest missiles.

2/5
❌No place to hide

Israeli safe rooms ("MAMADs") in residential buildings offer no protection against direct missile hits.

This was tragically demonstrated in Petah Tikva on the night of June 16th, when an Iranian missile penetrated a MAMAD wall, as confirmed by the Home Front Command.
