VERY INTERESTING: Iraqi sources say foreign forces—believed to be U.S. and Israeli—conducted a helicopter air-drop in the Najaf desert using 4–7 helicopters, possibly to deploy surveillance equipment or support anti-Iran groups.

An Iraqi reconnaissance convoy sent to investigate was hit by airstrikes, leaving one soldier dead and two wounded.

Iraqi authorities have launched an investigation and have not officially confirmed who carried out the operation.

BREAKING: Netanyahu asked the White House if the Trump administration was secretly talking with Iran about a ceasefire after Israeli intelligence suspected possible communications.

The White House denied any talks and said the U.S. had ignored messages sent by Iran through regional intermediaries.

🇺🇸⚔️🇮🇷 Listen to how forced Sen. Chuck Schumer's (mild) criticism of Trump/Netanyahu's war on Iran is and note how he doesn't say the word "Israel" or "Netanyahu" even once in his *seven-minute* speech.

He clearly supports the war (he helped create it by opposing Obama's Iran nuclear deal), but he has to act like he's against it because he's afraid he'll be primaried by AOC.

Sec. Rubio admitted this was a war for Israel, but Schumer will only say it's "another war in the Middle East."

(Lest anyone forget, Schumer told the NYT's Bret Stephens last year that "My job is to keep the left pro-Israel.")

White House on Iran:

Ultimately, the energy industry will benefit from Trump’s actions with respect to Iran, because Iran will no longer be controlling the Strait of Hormuz and restricting the free flow of energy.

The US always knows in advance when they assassinate leaders and commanders in other countries.

But somehow after 5 days they still don’t know they killed 175 elementary schoolgirls.

"We are considering attacking civilian targets in Lebanon to pressure the Lebanese government to rein in Hezbollah".

🇪🇸❌🇺🇸 — NEW: Spain's Foreign Minister José Manuel Albares has firmly denied statements by White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt claiming that Spain would “cooperate militarily” with the United States and says the Spanish position remains unchanged.

Our position of "no to war" remains clear and forceful.

New waves of airstrikes in Tehran

I think Tehran has been hit more than Beirut has ever been hit in 70 years
