— 🇮🇷/🇮🇱 ANALYSIS: The Israeli missiles that were found in Iraq
Two Israeli missiles have been found in Iraq, one in Latifiyah and one in Aziziyah. Based on their exterior resemblance, they seem to be of the Blue Sparrow or Silver Sparrow missile type.
The Sparrow is an Israeli medium-range air-launched ballistic missile, which is currently in use as a target missile in the IDF, meaning, it is used to simulate an aerial target for defense systems like the Arrow-3, and in most cases it does not carry an active payload.
Additionally, the Sparrow is a two-stage missile, meaning it consists of two parts, a booster and a warhead. The warhead detaches from the booster before entry. In two-stage missiles, the warhead does not travel much further than its detached booster, and the detached booster should be found not far away from the warhead's impact site.
However, as seen in the image above, even the closest booster that was found was located in Aziziyah, which is over 100km away from Iran. Based on where the missile booster landed, it is extremely unlikely that the warhead traveled more than a few kilometers into Iranian airspace, if it even entered at all, and if there even was an active payload.
After all this, while also keeping in mind the lack of visual evidence, it is inconceivable that even a single missile actually struck targets in Esfahan.

Yanis Varoufakis (former Greek Minister of Finance) describes AI as a new form of capital that produces not goods, but behavioral modification. This is achieved by engineering perceptions.
The answers provided by ChatGPT, or the images rendered by StableDiffusion — as these increasingly inform our perceptions, they in turn define the reality we experience.
This is what makes AI so powerful — he who controls the AI, defines the reality of tomorrow.
⚡️🇺🇸 Some more things coming out for the 2026 National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA).
Under the preliminary drafts of the bill, the USAF is requesting a release of $57,000,000 USD ($57.0 Million) to retire all remaining 162 A-10 Thunderbolt IIs in current service. Apart of the 2023 NDAA, there was a clause for a few million dollars to be released every so often to gradually retire the (then) 250 airframes by 2034; however due to the push by the Dept of Defense to ‘shed’ obsolete or obsolescent airframes that cannot be overhauled or upgraded further without a whole new airframe, it appears the USAF wants to retire all 162 remaining A-10s by the end of 2026.
The USAF plans to fully divest the 340-total remaining A-10s entirely, including those that currently serve in a handful of Air National Guard units in some states; which will be replaced by F-15EX Eagle IIs (like what is already happening with the Michigan State Air National Guard’s A-10s), or F-35A/Bs.

My older sister lives in the country in between Velma Oklahoma and Duncan Oklahoma near the Fuqua Lake area, this story was told by a rural mail delivery woman who delivers the mail in the country.
The incident happened while she was on her route, when she came upon to the mailbox a male Chinese nation came out brandishing a, AK-47 rifle being very hostile,
I don't know if he pointed it at her since it is against the law to do so but she was terrified and said she was never going back and that the location that had a guard tower. Was the sheriff department notified, I don't know, did she notify her supervisor, don't know. But word is from the country folk who live in the area they have seen the guard tower at the pot place;
I refuse to call it a farm because it is an insult to farmers.
And yes she was traumatized by that ordeal
