🇮🇷/🇮🇱 NEW: Preliminary satellite imagery from a small section of Nevatim airbase in the Negev shows heavy damage to airbase facilities

Satellite imagery has been released from within the red box, which is only a small part of the larger Nevatim airbase. As of now, we can see 5 hits within this area: One direct hit on an Israeli C-130, which was removed from its parking spot after being hit. One direct hit on a protected hangar for Israeli AEW/C (Airborne Early Warning & Control) planes, with several of them possibly damaged or destroyed, if they were present in the hangar during the strike. Another hit slightly missed this hangar. The other two strikes hit the tarmac.

This is only a small part of the Nevatim airbase, and as the days pass, we will likely receive more satellite imagery. If there are 5 confirmed impacts in this section alone, the rest of the base was likely damaged heavily as well. And we have not yet seen any imagery from Tel Nof airbase in Tel Aviv.

🇮🇱🇮🇷 — Interesting thing to note here, is that the picture published by A.P of the satellite image of Netavim air base following the Iranian retaliation, only includes one part of the entire base as shown in the second picture, which is not even the main part for the fighter jets and mostly includes transportation and cargo planes.

❗️🇮🇷/🇮🇱 BREAKING: A senior Iranian Official has told Al-Jazeera:

'We have sent a message to the United States through Qatar that any Israeli attack would be met with an unconventional and disproportionate response that would include nationwide infrastructure.

The phase of unilateral restraint is over. There is a regional need to restrain Israel and its madness.'

@Middle_East_Spectator
🇮🇷/🇮🇱 Iranian Official to Al-Jazeera: 'We have come to the conclusion that showing restraint simply does not benefit us in terms of national security nor regional stability – Israel will do whatever it wants regardless, so now we will make them pay'

🇮🇱/🇮🇷 WATCH: New footage shows some of Iran's heavy liquid-fueled ballistic missiles impacting at an Israeli airbase; some of these missiles have huge warheads between 700kg – 800kg

Iran's Fattah-1 and Kheybar Shekan missiles, which are considered more advanced and maneuverable, have a much smaller warhead than these heavy liquid-fueled missiles. Those are the missiles that pass Israeli defenses 80% of the time.

Most of Iran's heavy liquid-fueled missiles like Emad and Qadr-H were intercepted during the April attack, so I'm beginning to suspect that a major cyberattack was conducted against the Israeli air defenses, which the IRGC has indeed claimed.

🇺🇸🇮🇱🇮🇷 | U.S. President Joe Biden when asked if he supported Israel striking Iran's oil facilities:

'We’re discussing that. I think that would be a little... anyway'

@MilitaryPOV
🇺🇸🛡🇮🇱 U.S. warships launched a dozen SM-3 interceptors to shoot down Iranian ballistic missiles this week—that’s a year’s worth of production.

Biden’s FY25 defense budget calls for $400 million cut to missile defense.
