— Solid Iranian source confirms to me Russia has been airlifting large quantities of 'stuff' to Iran, but won't comment on what it is.

I asked him if it's fighter jets (Su-35, Su-30 or MiG-29) and he said 'You think I'm gonna answer that?'

Anyways, take this info as you wish.

— 🇮🇷/🇷🇺 NOTE: There is a 'rumor' (with at least some credibility) that Russia has been sending some of its very own MiG-29s to Iran as part of a temporary lease contract to make up for the delayed delivery of the Su-35s

Recently a member of Iran's parliamentary committee on foreign relations revealed that Iran had received MiG-29 fighter jets from Russia as a 'short term solution', but he was quickly reprimanded and told to shut up by the integrity commission for 'leaking info'.

Additionally, a video taken some days ago shows a MiG-29 patrolling the skies of Tehran, with lack of a clear smoke trail pointing towards its engine being a modern variant (i.e. recently acquired from Russia).

Russia's modern MiG-29s are quite capable. They're not on par with the majority of the Israeli Air Force, but they're a significant step up from Iran's F-14 Tomcats, F-4 Phantoms and older generation MiGs, and could serve a big role in defending Iranian airspace and missile bases.

All ships of the Flotilla were intercepted, as expected.

Can we now finally stop pretending like peaceful activism against Israel works?

They literally don't care. They will keep eradicating Palestinians until they are forced to stop. They cannot be 'convinced'.

Note: This is entirely unfeasible, it would cost billions of dollars to construct a new capital.

— 🇷🇺 NEW: President Vladimir Putin of the Russian Federation is now giving an important speech

@Middle_East_Spectator

— He's talking about quantum mechanics, the complexity of the 'multi-faceted world' and 'linea-lateral solutions' for a 'renaissance in diplomacy'.

In other words, ranting for now.

No offense to Mr. President but I have absolutely zero idea what he's talking about right now. Maybe I'm not educated enough.

—❗️🇷🇺/🇪🇺 President Putin: 'We've been closely watching the rearmament of Europe. Germany for example says they want to be the strongest army in Europe. Russia is watching this, and to put it mildly, our response to any action will be convincing.'

—❗️🇷🇺/🇪🇺 President Putin: 'We will respond swiftly to any threats to our sovereignty and statehood. You should not provoke us. Our history shows that provocation against Russia always ends badly, and the future won't be any different.'
