3 F-15E go down over Kuwait in a friendly-fire accident? Yeah sure.

Gues saying we are morons who shot each other is less shameful for the us airforce then saying russian/iranian AD shot down three F-15Es.
What Russian/Iranian AD (not strike) assets could reach Kuwait? I ask because I do not know.

Kremlin Ideologist:
"The Next. Putin"

Russian propagandist and proponent of the "Russian World" concept, Alexander Dugin, believes that Russian President Vladimir Putin could be next on the US target list, as Russia's allies are being destroyed "one after another." He apparently means Syria, Venezuela, Iran, and Cuba.

In his opinion, "everything depends on how long the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) holds out. If Iran holds out, everything could go in the opposite direction. If it collapses, we'll be next."

Footage of Israeli Hermes-900 heavy UAVs being shot down by Iranian air defenses of an unknown type. According to some reports, Israeli drones were also shot down by Iranian MiG-29 aircraft. Three Israeli Hermes-900 UAVs were reportedly shot down over Iran. The wreckage of one of the drones is shown at the end of the video. The Hermes-900 UAVs were developed by the Israeli company Elbit Systems in 2011. The Hermes-900 UAV has a range of up to 1,500 kilometers and an endurance of up to 36 hours. The price of a Hermes-900 UAV is approximately $25 million.

Trump calls Iranian Kurdish leaders based in Iraq: Report

mary Kurdish factions in Iraq, Masoud Barazani and Bafel Talabani, a day after the joint US-Israel attacks on Iran.

The outlet noted the factions have thousands of soldiers along the Iran-Iraq border and control strategic areas that could be significant as the war develops.

It said Iraq’s Kurds also have close ties to Iran’s Kurdish minority.

An unnamed source told Axios that the “calls were the culmination of months of behind-the-scenes lobbying by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu”.

Israel has had close security, military and intelligence ties with the Kurds in Syria, Iraq and Iran for decades.

“It is the general view, and certainly Netanyahu’s view, that the Kurds are going to come out of the woodwork … that they’re going to rise up,” one official was quoted as saying.

The image of Greek fighter jets in the Cypriot sky sends a double, resounding message: both operational and psychological. After a nightmarish night, during which an Iranian drone managed to hit the British base of Akrotiri, causing huge disruption, Nicosia wanted to prove that it is not alone. Athens, for its part, showed in practice that Cyprus is not far away.

Four Greek F-16 fighter jets are already on the island, while the frigates Kimon and Psara are expected to arrive. The Minister of National Defense, Nikos Dendias, and the Chief of the General Staff, General Dimitrios Choupis, are present in person, in a gesture of the utmost symbolism and substance.

The strike in Akrotiri caused limited material damage to a shelter and the base's corridor, fortunately without any casualties. However, the "official line" is far removed from the reality experienced by the residents.

In a period of regional conflagration, the sound of the explosion caused panic. Families were thrown from their beds and children woke up crying. Uncertainty about what had happened and what was to come prevailed, as citizens anxiously sought information. This communication gap quickly turned into a major political issue, with workers around the bases now feeling like potential targets.

The concern was compounded by the rapid spread of misinformation on social media. Rumors even drove some residents to abandon their homes in search of shelters.

Meanwhile, a new alarm was raised by a video circulating on the internet, which allegedly shows the interception of a suspicious target off Limassol, shortly before 1am. The video shows a bright aerial object over the sea. Online channels are talking about two Iranian drones that attempted to strike British targets, while reports of explosions are also possibly attributed to the echo of the bombings between Israel and Hezbollah in Lebanon.

The crisis also hit Paphos. The international airport was evacuated as a precaution following reports of a suspicious flying object near the Andreas Papandreou air base. Residents of the surrounding villages (Timi, Mandria, Anarita) were instructed to remain indoors.

The "side effects" are already severe. According to the airport management company, sixty flight cancellations were recorded in Larnaca and Paphos in just one day (including British Airways and EasyJet flights). Tourists are looking for an escape route, students are looking for return tickets to Greece and businesses are seeing normality freeze, rapidly burdening the island's economy.

On the domestic front, the Left Party (“AKEL”) has once again raised the issue of the presence of British bases, while abroad, Brussels is timidly discussing the activation of the mutual European defense clause. Alongside Greece, France is also expected to deploy forces in the region, with the aircraft carrier “Charles de Gaulle”.

At the same time, a clear political game is being played in the Occupied Territories. The Turkish Cypriot leader has convened an emergency "security council", while there is information about communication with Tayyip Erdogan. Ankara's goal is to send Turkish warships to the Occupied Territories, as a direct response to the arrival of Greek frigates in the free areas of the Republic of Cyprus.

BBC TV news reports that Iran threatens to set fire to vessels attempting to pass through the straits of Hormuz. I wonder if the regime has signed its own death warrant.

The developments in the espionage case at the Souda base are interesting, as the man who was brought in was allegedly communicating with Iran and had even taken photographs of the American aircraft carrier USS Gerald Ford.

According to ERT, he was found in possession of photographs of the warship, which he allegedly took with a camera.

In addition, an application was found that he allegedly used to receive information from Iran.

The man has been transferred to Athens to be examined to determine exactly what he did in the area and what his role was.

Following in the footsteps of the 26-year-old man from Azerbaijan, who was arrested in Souda, Crete, in June 2025 for espionage, it seems that the 36-year-old Georgian, who has been detained and examined by ELAS(Greek police) and EYP(Greek intelligence agency) for some hours, has moved.

He was brought in on Monday morning from the "El. Venizelos" premises, as it was thought that he would go abroad and his tracks would be lost. According to information, he arrived in Greece about a month ago and at least since February 10 he had been in Crete, photographing ships entering and leaving the Souda naval base, as well as the facilities of the American base.

In fact, on February 16, he had tried to book a room at the hotel where the 26-year-old man from Azerbaijan stayed last year, but was unsuccessful. In the last 24 hours, he had returned to Athens, where he was under surveillance by ELAS and EYP, while after the allegation that digital evidence was found in his possession, the evidence is examined thoroughly.

For now, his detention is considered a matter of time before it turns into an arrest and he is charged with espionage, based on the findings.
