🇮🇷 A significant leap in IRGC intelligence capability, pointing to the pattern of strikes on hangars at Muwaffaq Salti Air Base in Jordan:
July 2: New aircraft maintenance hangars built.
July 9: Iran destroys them.
July 17 and 19: Iran strikes 2 more aircraft hangars.
July 30 (this morning): Maintenance hangars rebuilt, an aircraft moved in — by afternoon, IRGC hits them with a precision missile strike.
The pattern points to sharply increased satellite reconnaissance activity, as the window between US construction being detected and missile strikes hitting it keeps shrinking fast.

Although this is a possibility, I have a bit of a different theory. I’m sure that Iran’s satellite reconnaissance is improving, but I think this improvement might also be due to increased cooperation of Jordanian (and the broader Arab world) citizens with Iran against their vessel states. Earlier on, Iran commended the actions of Jordan’s people for making their strike on a particularly important US base more possible. I think this might still be occurring, especially considering the continued resentment against the zionist puppet king of Jordan.
This is just beautiful ❤️
I decided to take a gander at the Hexbear news thread, and found this piece of info that I was unaware of.

Here’s the image of the metro system
Meanwhile, in my area, the bus runs 12 hours apart, from rural area to seasonal work area, because as someone who sat on the planning commission decades ago confided, “We don’t want those kinds of people living here.”

Why am I unsurprised about the cause of this walkout? Oh yeah, because this is the same entity that had “right to rape” protests.
even the idf wants to fedpost all zionists

❗️Columbia student workers union drops Israel divestment demand, pivoting away from Gaza solidarity campaign
Expand
The Columbia University student workers union, SWC-UAW, has voted to withdraw its signature contract article demanding financial divestment from Israel, marking a major tactical retreat after months of deadlock.
Dropping the international law framework allows the union to narrow its bargaining focus to mandatory workplace conditions like compensation, bowing to pressure from federal labor rules and its parent organization.
This strategic pivot coincides with Columbia pressing ahead with the summer launch of its controversial global center in Tel Aviv.
While the union previously served as a central pillar of the campus pro-Palestine movement—championing the Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions (BDS) framework and fighting against dual-degree ties to Tel Aviv University—the latest concession signals an abrupt retreat from political demands as negotiators push toward a viable contract.

I fear if this is happening back at my old university. The Palestine struggle and the labor movement on campus were intertwined. The tendency of largely white labor organizers to throw international solidarity out the window is unfortunately very common in the US.
union organizers and democrat “socialists” competing to see who can be the most useless
“screw you, I’ll get mine by sacrificing you.”
funny thing is, they never get theirs. their complete inability to show solidarity is why the amerikkkan “left” is one of the least effective in the world
Yes, there’s a difference between perception and reality, most can’t tell the difference, others are gambling on “the long” game.
Saw this at my wife’s job just after they won their union contract. The more radical and many of the POC members wanted to do some anti-ICE community support. They were quickly overruled by the white majority.
DSA highkey manufactured that. Palestine got the BLM treatment.
—❗️🇺🇸/🇮🇶/🇮🇷 BREAKING: The United States has already withdrawn several Patriot batteries from Erbil, and will withdraw all of its remaining military forces from Iraqi Kurdistan by September 30th, 2026
The move comes after repeated Iranian drone and missile attacks against U.S. targets in the area, which have become increasingly difficult to defend against.
It would mark Iraq’s first time without an American military presence since 2003, after more than 23 years of occupation. – Al Monitor

—❗️🇺🇸/🇮🇶/🇮🇷 BREAKING: The last 5 remaining Patriot systems have been withdrawn from Erbil Airport
Iraqi Kurdistan is now left at the mercy of Iranian missiles and drones for the first time ever, with no anti-ballistic missile systems to intercept them.
@Middle_East_Spectator
They’ve accomplished in a single year what the anti-war movement in the imperial core couldn’t in two decades. May the people of Iraq never suffer another American dog on their sovereign soil.
Amen
They could have left those missile batteries and they would have still been at the mercy of Iranian missiles.

Yemen?
Honestly I’m more inclined to believe it was Israel. Destroying other suppliers of LNG would position the US more favorably, so perhaps they got their attack dog to strike another potential competitor.
False flag time?
—❗️🇮🇷/🇪🇬/🇮🇱 Iran’s Foreign Minister, Abbas Araqchi:
‘Egypt is considered a friend and important partner in the region, and its security constitutes an utmost priority for us.
We must all remain vigilant toward Israeli schemes and ‘false flag’ operations that aim to undermine regional peace.
The [Zionist] threat is clear, shared, and it fears Muslim solidarity.’

Both likely committed suicide.

BREAKING | Yemeni Armed Forces announces that it targeted the Saudi oil tanker NCC GHAZAL with ballistic missiles after it violated the maritime blockade imposed on Saudi Arabia and ignored repeated warnings, saying the vessel was forced to turn back. The forces reaffirmed they will continue enforcing the blockade under the equation of “blockade for blockade” and “comprehensive escalation for comprehensive escalation.”
🇮🇷The “peaceful protesters” who were executed in Iran around three hours ago. They were literally mossad-backed criminals.
These individuals, answering Trump, Graham & Israel’s calls for violence against the Islamic Republic, tied Iranian police officers to a signpost with ropes, stoned and tortured them and then set them on fire.
They beheaded an unarmed traffic policeman and impaled his head on his service car.
They received justice to the letter of the law.

It really is the same shit with imperial color revolutions, this stuff is indistinguishable from “Tinyman square CCP used protesters as lawn chairs before resurrecting them just to kill them again.”
In fact, tying security officers to poles, then torturing, and then burning them is exactly what the Chinese “peaceful protesters” did to the PLA soldiers in 1989.
🇾🇪🇸🇦Yemen’s Ansar Allah movement has claimed that it forced eight Saudi oil tankers to reroute around Africa via the Cape of Good Hope.
“As part of efforts to enforce the ‘blockade-for-blockade’ formula and following steps taken by our armed forces to tighten the naval blockade of the Saudi enemy’s oil vessels, eight tankers were forced to change their course,” the group said in a statement.
Ansar Allah added that they would continue enforcing the naval blockade of Saudi Arabia and attacking its vessels wherever possible.
