🚨 The Iranian army announces for the first time the preparation of 500 intercontinental ballistic missiles to respond to the upcoming American attack.
Officially, if Iran is attacked, the American soil itself will be attacked, including Washington, D.C., and New York City. 🔥💀

Trump’s MAGA crowd is gradually embracing Ukraine, but Trump himself still prefers backing Putin’s autocracy over Ukraine’s defense of its democracy. Now why would that be? trib.al/YRo8mdV

Russia unleashes another massive overnight missile and drone attack on Kyiv, killing at least 10 people and injuring dozens more, Ukrainian officials say.
President Volodymyr Zelenskyy reportedly said Ukraine had just one Patriot interceptor missile left and warned the country has now run out of interceptors for its U.S.-supplied Patriot air defense systems.

Summary
Geopolitical tensions rise with military movements near Iran and fires in Russian-occupied Crimea, while U.S. policy shifts on Ukraine and Gaza diplomacy signal strategic recalibrations. Legal developments, including dropped cases and critiques of political prosecutions, suggest growing scrutiny of institutional accountability.
Key Stories
Military movements and fires heighten regional instability — Tank movements detected near the Iran-Iraq border and a fire at a Russian National Guard base in occupied Crimea may indicate escalating military activity. These developments suggest heightened risks of broader conflict in the Middle East and Black Sea regions.
U.S. weighs Ukraine Patriot production amid Iran tensions — President Trump’s statement on withholding approval for Ukraine to produce Patriot missile systems may signal a strategic warning to Moscow over potential military support to Iran. Analysts view this as a calibrated response to rising U.S.-Iran tensions.
Gaza diplomacy advances as Iran war risks loom — A new U.S.-backed framework aims to disarm Hamas and withdraw Israeli forces from Gaza, offering a diplomatic off-ramp. However, the threat of a wider Iran conflict complicates regional stability efforts.
DOJ drops case citing flawed contractor work — The Department of Justice dismissed a vandalism case against Olympian David Hearn, citing unreliable evidence from a contractor. This follows broader scrutiny of politically charged prosecutions and institutional accountability.
Criticism grows over selective political prosecutions — Observers question the fate of non-celebrity defendants in politically motivated cases, drawing parallels to authoritarian practices. The trend may indicate systemic vulnerabilities in legal protections for ordinary citizens.

PUTIN🇷🇺: ‘If Ukraine joins NATO and attempts to bring Crimea back by military means, it means the European countries will automatically be pulled into a war conflict with Russia.
Of course, NATO and Russia’s potentials are incomparable. We understand it. But we also understand that Russia is one of the leading nuclear states. And with some modern components, it even outperforms many.
There will be no winners. And you will be pulled into this conflict against your will. You won’t even have time to blink your eye when you execute Article 5.’

Going Underground (@GUnderground_TV)‘The West will be SHOCKED at how quickly the Donbass falls to Russia🇷🇺, Anchorage was the last chance to avoid Ukraine🇺🇦 becoming a RUMP STATE.’—Donald Trump’s Former Lawyer Robert Barnes
‘They’ve interpreted Putin’s self-restraint as a sign of weakness when it was always a sign of just not wanting to escalate the conflict, wanting to minimise the amount of civilian harm.
And as the gloves come off, Russia is going to, you know, as Otto von Bismarck famously said, they’re slow to saddle up, but when they ride, they ride fast. And that’s where Russia is going.
And that’s where everybody in the West is going to be shocked as how quickly the Donbass falls. What could have been, Ukraine could have kept Odessa, Kiev, Kharkov, and large parts of the country under the deal that Trump promised in August in Anchorage last year.
But Trump actually saw Putin’s willingness to do that deal as weakness rather than this was the last exit ramp for the West to avoid Ukraine just becoming a rump state. And that’s what’s going to happen there.
Vance knows Russia is winning the war. He knows Russia will win the war. And he made efforts to try to get the Anchorage deal through.
But Trump rug pulled it all the way through because he wants Putin to bow to him, he wants Xi to bow to him. He wants the Ayatollah to bow to him…
And so that’s problem one, is that our complete lack of realism and escalating unnecessarily with Russia, the greatest nuclear power in the world, contrary to what the President said.’
