🇮🇷❌🇺🇸🇮🇱❗️— Islamic Regime in Iran's Foreign Ministry denies talks with USA and rejects any negotiation while Israeli bombings in Iran continues:

No Iranian official has ever asked to grovel at the gates of the White House.

The only thing more despicable than his lies is his cowardly threat to “take out” Iran’s Supreme Leader.

Iran does NOT negotiate under duress, shall NOT accept peace under duress, and certainly NOT with a has-been warmonger clinging to relevance.

Iran shall respond to any threat with a counter-threat, and to any action with reciprocal measures.

🇬🇧🤝🇺🇸🇮🇱❌🇮🇷 — UK Prime Minister Starmer has put his cabinet on alert for a possible American attack on Iran. The PM discussed the possibility of a US attack on Iran at a meeting of a Whitehall emergency committee on Wednesday, officials said to Financial Times

🇨🇳🇰🇷 Chinese Navy brings recon ships close to U.S. bases in Korea

Chinese naval vessels equipped with surveillance systems have repeatedly entered waters near a major U.S. air base in Korea, raising alarms in Seoul about Beijing’s expanding military reach in the region.

Military officials warn that the frequency and proximity of these incursions suggest more than routine navigation. Some suspect that Beijing is collecting intelligence on U.S. forces stationed in Korea — particularly units expected to deploy first in the event of a Taiwan contingency.

60 kilometers off Eocheong

Chinese naval ships entered Korean-controlled waters in the Yellow Sea approximately 170 times between January and May of this year, according to data provided by the Joint Chiefs of Staff (JCS) to Rep. Kang Dae-sik of the People Power Party(PPP) on Tuesday.

On several occasions, these vessels approached within 60 kilometers (37 miles) of the territorial waters west of Eocheong Island.

Eocheong Island is located about 60 kilometers from the U.S. 8th Fighter Wing at Gunsan Air Base. Given that territorial waters extend 22 kilometers (12 nautical miles) from shore, the Chinese warships effectively operated within 142 kilometers of the U.S. base.

While the JCS has not publicly disclosed the precise boundaries of its maritime jurisdiction for security reasons, much of the activity occurred in the Provisional Measures Zone (PMZ) — a buffer area established under a 2001 Korea-China fisheries agreement where territorial claims remain unresolved.

Surveillance capabilities confirmed

This marks the first time the Korean military has officially confirmed that Chinese vessels operating in these waters were equipped with sea surveillance radars and other reconnaissance technology.

“The presence of these sensor-equipped ships suggests that China is likely engaged in some level of intelligence-gathering,” a Ministry of National Defense official said.

The vessels' surveillance range can span hundreds of kilometers, which could theoretically allow them to monitor U.S. military operations at the Gunsan base.

That includes tracking aircraft departures, signal transmissions and electronic communications — a potential threat to operational security, especially in the event of a regional conflict involving Taiwan.

China’s incursions are not new. From 2018 to 2022, its naval vessels entered Korean waters between 220 and 290 times per year. The number rose to about 360 in 2023 and hovered around 330 last year.

In some cases, ships moved even closer — coming within 40 kilometers west of Eocheong Island in 2022, and about 50 kilometers southwest and west of the island in 2018 and 2019, respectively. Taken together, Chinese ships have routinely operated in waters roughly 100 kilometers from the U.S. base in Gunsan over the past several years.

Chinese warships have also been spotted near the Heuksan, Hong and Gyeongnyeolbi Islands — strategic points located 50 to 90 kilometers off the southwestern coast.

🇺🇸❌🇮🇷 Trump is increasingly considering targeting Iran’s Fordow nuclear facility. A source familiar with the intelligence told ABC News there is “movement to get ready for this.”

📝: If Trump backs down now, he will be eaten alive by the Zionists in the Republican Party and will be left without support. The U.S. economy is not getting better and the only thing which might save the Republicans at the Midterms is a potential "victory" in a war with the Iranians.

It is only a matter of time until the U.S. strikes Iran and it will not be limited at just the facilities in Natanz and Fordow.

🇺🇸❌🇮🇷 Trump questioned his military advisers about whether the massive bunker busters could destroy Fordow.

Pentagon officials expressed confidence in their effectiveness, but a U.S. source says Trump remained uncertain — Axios.
