The Lebanese Pound is trading around 6000 to $1 on the black market today - a new record low.

Minimum wage of 675,000 pounds is nearing the equivalent of $100 per month.

The currency had hit 5000 to $1 on June 11.

So, no one will start making any thread and analysis about the power plant and chemical plant that exploded in the US? Or are we just focused on Iran?

Not that I'm saying any of these fires in either country is sabotage. https://t.co/ltFImlXnX7

“This was tit for tat,” the US official, speaking under condition of anonymity, told the New York Times.

Technically this is not true at all, throughout history it was seen by the USA as intellectual property and soft power, back since the days of the Othoman empire.

Back in WW1, Wilson refused to announce hostiles towards the Othomans to ensure the safety of the University, etc. https://t.co/V6UBppv27a

There is a detailed story of why that happened and what the USA aimed regarding its institutes in Lebanon and Syria in this book.

Late last April, despite the lack of approval of the Lebanese army, the UNIFIL forces in the south conducted an experiment with a drone over the French site in "Deir Kifa".

The drone, owned specifically by the French force, is American-made and is used for military purposes. https://t.co/KPEqJttQAe

Somehow, the report indicates that they tested the FLIR manufactured Black Hornet 3 drone.

If true, they are probably aiming to use it undetected in areas where the UNIFIL restricted from entry. This will be a huge escalation. https://t.co/TUht5HlHKo
