— 🇮🇷 The past few weeks, most Iranian officials I talk to in private, are no longer strictly denying the possibility of developing nuclear weapons in the near future.
One year ago, this was very different, almost no Iranian politician was in favor of going nuclear, and they would often cite Imam Khamenei's Fatwa regarding the ban on nuclear weapons, which was made during the negotiations of the JCPOA and in context of Iran seeking closer relations with the West.
But now, the topic of nuclear weapons almost seems like an 'unspoken word' that everyone agrees upon, while no one straight up says it.
Even the more liberal ones seem to agree that going nuclear will be necessary, at least at some point in the future. But Iran's majority conservative Majlis (parliament) is shifting rapidly in favor of nuclear proliferation even in the short term.

Both the SAA & HTS have stopped advancing for the night. We will likely see an important confrontation north of Hama tomorrow.
The HTS advance was extremely fast, so I'm expecting them not to hold out very long, as their lines are over extended.
However, Aleppo may be a different story, and it remains to be seen how fast the SAA can reach it. First target is Hama & Idlib.

— 🔴 🇱🇧 Statement by the Operations Room of the Islamic Resistance regarding the field developments of the 'Uli al-Bas' (Battle of the Fierce) war, November 19, Part 2 of 2:
3. Land Confrontations
– Western Sector:
The Israeli enemy forces proceeded to advance towards the town of 'Shamaa' with the aim of controlling it to reduce resistance rocket fire on the city of 'Nahariyya' and the occupied 'Haifa' area. The enemy forces infiltrated from the forests of 'Labouneh,' passing through the forests of the towns of 'Alma al-Shaab' and 'Tayr Harfa.' The advancing forces fell into ambushes set by our fighters.
During the infiltration of an armored company towards the vicinity of the town mosque and the municipality building (east of the UNIFIL site), our fighters targeted them with guided missiles, resulting in the destruction of two 'Merkava' tanks and a bulldozer. Our fighters also targeted an infantry force near the shrine of 'Prophet Shimon al-Safa,' causing a number of casualties.
Our fighters clashed at close range with the enemy forces around the shrine, the municipality building, and the mosque more than five times using machine guns, hand grenades, and rocket-propelled grenades, resulting in numerous injuries. Israeli ambulance forces called in helicopters to evacuate the injured and launched illumination devices to mark their location.
On the western outskirts of 'Al-Jbeen,' our fighters targeted a 'Merkava' tank with a guided missile, killing and wounding its crew. The operation area was also hit with 120mm and 81mm mortar shells, while the resistance missile force targeted the paths and positions of Israeli soldiers and vehicles on this axis with dozens of missile salvos and artillery shells.
– Central Sector:
In refutation of the Israeli narrative about the ambush at the 'Ainata-Maroun al-Ras-Aitaroun' triangle, the Islamic Resistance Operations Room announced that our fighters monitored a force from the 51st Battalion of the Golani Brigade infiltrating from the border area between 'Aitaroun' and 'Maroun al-Ras' towards the southeastern outskirts of 'Bint Jbeil.'
Despite intensive air campaigns, the force fell into an ambush. At 09:50 AM, our fighters opened fire, forcing the enemy to take shelter in a damaged house. Our Mujahideen targeted the house with anti-personnel and anti-armor shells, leading to the destruction of parts of the house on the force inside. Clashes continued for more than three hours, with the Israeli army admitting that an officer and five soldiers from the 51st Battalion were killed, along with four wounded.
– Eastern Sector:
The enemy intensified its aggression on the city of 'Khiyam' with more than 60 air and drone raids and over 130 artillery shells in preparation for re-advancing towards the city. Our fighters clashed with the advancing forces as soon as they arrived at the Wata al-Khayam area, using machine guns and rocket-propelled grenades. They targeted two 'Merkava' tanks with guided missiles, leading to their burning and causing casualties.
4. Enemy Losses:
Since the start of the 'second phase' of the ground operation in southern Lebanon on November 12, the total losses suffered by the Israeli army include more than 18 dead and 32 wounded (some critically), in addition to the destruction of 5 'Merkava' tanks and a military bulldozer.
Cumulatively, since October 1, the losses include more than 110 killed and over 1,050 wounded, the destruction of 48 'Merkava' tanks, 9 military bulldozers, 2 'Humvee' vehicles, 2 [unnamed] armored vehicles, 2 APCs, 6 'Hermes-450' drones, 2 'Hermes-900' drones and a quadcopter.

— 🔴 🇱🇧 Statement by the Operations Room of the Islamic Resistance regarding the field developments of the 'Uli al-Bas' (Battle of the Fierce) war, November 19, Part 1 of 2:
1. Haifa Qualitative Operation:
The Haifa missile operation aligns with the Islamic Resistance Operations Room's promise to intensify the 'Khaybar' series of operations and refute enemy claims of destroying the resistance's missile force.
– The operation successfully reached five military bases, bringing more than 300,000 settlers into shelters. The settlers are paying the price for the spread of Israeli army bases inside settlements and occupied cities.
– The resistance is prepared to carry out similar operations in Haifa and beyond, even after Haifa, for a period that the enemy does not expect.
2. What Does the Enemy’s Announcement of the Start of the 'Second Phase' of the Ground Operation in Southern Lebanon Mean?
After the Israeli army’s air and ground operations in the border area declined by 40% due to its inability to establish itself inside Lebanese territory, the enemy announced the second phase of the ground operation in southern Lebanon.
– The Islamic Resistance confirms that the defensive operations during the 'first stage' forced enemy forces to withdraw beyond the border and deprived them of establishing themselves in most border towns.
– The Israeli air force continues to attack border villages it claims to control with daily air raids, artillery fire, and machine gun operations from border positions.
– These attacks confirm the enemy's inability to establish itself inside Lebanon. Attempts to advance south of 'Khiyam,' which the enemy previously retreated from under fighters' strikes, further demonstrate the failure of the first stage.
– Since the start of the ground operation, our heroic fighters have carried out over 350 operations on Lebanese territory and more than 600 fire operations against Israeli military divisions in occupied territories, inflicting heavy losses on the enemy army.
– We assure the officers and soldiers of the Israeli army that what happened to the 51st Battalion of the Golani Brigade at the 'Ainata-Maroun al-Ras-Aitaroun' triangle is just the beginning. There are days, nights, and the battlefield between us and you. As our holy martyr said, 'You will enter vertically and exit horizontally.'

— ☢️🇮🇷🇺🇳 BREAKING: Despite Iran taking initial measures to decrease its output of 60% enriched uranium, and Iran's willingness to accept four new IAEA inspectors, the E3 (UK, France and Britain) of the JCPOA is expected to proceed with their 'Censure Resolution' against Iran, expressing their condemnation and possibly imposing extra economic sanctions – Wall Street Journal

— By the way, Iran is still technically keeping its end of the agreement. The JCPOA stipulates that Iran has the right to increase its enriched uranium output if one (or more) of the parties, in this case the United States, fail to keep their obligations.
The United States never fully lifted their sanctions on Iran to begin with, even after the 2015 deal. Then in 2018, Trump unilaterally withdrew from the Nuclear Deal, so Iran increased its enriched uranium output, as per the agreement.
The fact that we are still sticking to the JCPOA is honestly ridiculous. Why should we have loyalty to such an agreement when the opposing parties could care less? There is no benefit for us. Just exit it already. And while you're at it, might as well exit the NPT.
Instead, in hopes of reviving the deal, President Pezeshkian is now agreeing to limit the output of 60% enriched uranium as a sign of 'good will' to the United States, EVEN THOUGH it is fully permitted per the JCPOA.

She condemned the 2020 strike on Qasem Soleimani in Baghdad, and she even visited President Assad of Syria in 2018, stating that there was 'simply not enough evidence' to prove Bashar Al-Assad used chemical weapons against civilians, although she later 'corrected' herself after much backlash, calling Assad a 'brutal dictator, just like Saddam Hussein'.
In recent years, she has become less and less genuine. Like all American politicians, she is staunchly pro-Israel, and condemned the October 7 attacks, calling Hamas an 'Islamist terror organization'. However, she remains less hawkish than many of her political counterparts.

He has been an ally of Trump since 2016, and is part of the 'MAGA Republicans' faction in Congress, who back Trump unconditionally. He was amongst those who forced Republican Speaker of the House Kevin McCarthy to resign, in favor of a more pro-Trump candidate, which led to huge backlash.
Shockingly, Gaetz was the only U.S. Member of Congress who voted against the 'Combating Human Trafficking in Commercial Vehicles Act', a bill passed in 2017 to combat human trafficking. The FBI also investigated him for 'Sex with a Minor' and 'Sex Trafficking'.

Neither of the two candidates is going to make any sort of difference. There is no 'lesser of two evils' here. US foreign policy will always be the same: Unconditional support for Israel and its war crimes.
Yeah, Trump may be slightly more conservative regarding domestic social issues, but that's it. Are you really willing to vote for a war criminal because of that?
The only thing you can do to truly change things, is to show your absolute rejection of the U.S. government by not voting.
Boycott the election.

They have no shelters, no sirens. The Iron Dome and other air defenses let incoming missiles through on purpose, because they don't give a shit about anyone who isn't Jewish. Arab towns apparently don't deserve to be protected. Even NBC News admits this.

Israeli air defenses are known to only intercept missiles heading towards Jewish areas, and to avoid intercepting missiles that are predicted to land on Arab towns.
Israel likes to do this, so they can frame a story that 'Hezbollah is only targeting Arabs', which is complete nonsense.

Initially, the RSF claimed the Antonov, which apparently was used as a bomber by the Sudanese Air Force. And some said it was an Egyptian Antonov.
While yes, the Sudanese Air Force has a history of using Antonovs as bombers as a last resort, nothing other than the RSF's statements confirms that this is the case. On the contrary, some of the remains of the aircraft shown in these videos resemble an Il-76.
In addition, they showed a document addressed to Viktor Granov (it's a common practice when Russians work with Russian airplanes abroad), Main engineer of the Airline Transport Incorporation FZC. This company is based in UAE.
Keep in mind that this videos are many hours old. The RSF is currently very quiet on this issue. The airplane wreckage is located on their territory, which slows down any investigation.

U.S. Officials, according to Axios, are extremely concerned about me.
This is quite a funny turn of events. Maybe you should just improve the security at the Pentagon?

— 🇮🇱 BREAKING: Israel's 'Walla News' writes about Middle East Spectator channel and the leak of classified U.S. documents:
'Senior American officials today expressed great concern over the leak of two American intelligence documents that dealt with Israeli preparations for an attack on Iran which were published by a Telegram account identified with Iran.
Why this is important:
The US Department of Defense and the US Office of the Director of National Intelligence declined to comment on the leaked documents but did not deny their authenticity.
The timing of the leak occurred as Israel was completing its preparations for retaliatory action in Iran, in response to the missile attack of October 1 and was seen as an attempt to influence or disrupt it.
An Israeli senior official said that the security establishment is aware of the leak and takes it very seriously.
The leak occurred on Friday when the Middle East Spectator Telegram channel claimed to have received documents from a source in the American intelligence community about Israeli preparations for an attack on Iran.
The Telegram channel in question mainly publishes pro-Iranian propaganda content, and the profile of the Twitter account operated by that Telegram channel explicitly states that its operators are located in Iran.
The documents included a report by the Visual Intelligence Agency of the US Department of Defense, which was distributed within the US intelligence community three days ago, and which details operations carried out in recent days at several bases of the Israeli Air Force, including the transfer of advanced weaponry which, according to the report, was intended for an attack on Iran.
The report also states that according to intelligence obtained through wiretapping, the Israeli Air Force conducted an exercise this week in which fighter jets and UAVs took part as a possible preparation for an attack on Iran.'

— 🇮🇱/🇱🇧 NEW: Ronen Bergman, an Israeli military analyst, writes in Yedioth Ahronoth: 'Despite deploying forces to the northern border, there is no readiness for a ground invasion of Lebanon. Most leaders believe Israel made a tragic mistake in 1982 and 2006 and should avoid a death trap set by Hezbollah.
Israel's current strategy resembles its approach in the 2006 war, relying on air power to defeat Hezbollah. When this failed, Israel was forced to invade Lebanon, which did not achieve its goals.'

The Qader-1 missile that was launched this morning was intercepted above Tel Aviv.
It was clearly meant as a message. If Hezbollah wanted it to actually hit, they would have launched several of them at once, in combination with other smaller caliber projectiles to distract the Iron Dome.

Israeli media retracts initial statement and says only 2 drones were launched (and not 3 as previously stated).
One was intercepted by a Sa’ar 5-class corvette ship in the sea and the other made a successful impact against a naval facility in Eilat’s port, injuring 2 israelis.
