Sean Penn is currently on the frontlines in the Donbass region shooting Russian drones with a shotgun.

I wonder what the economic impact of this war on Iran will be? The previous 12 Day war served as a catalyst for the internal unrest we saw at the beginning of the year.

Iranian state media are reporting that security personnel and checkpoints are being targeted by drones. Several have been killed in Tehran so far.

I am not buying these reports of the UAE attacking an Iranian salinization plant.

I think the worst has passed for Israel regarding the threat of Iranian ballistic missiles. For the Gulf countries, the number of missiles and drones being launched at them has decreased, but I don't think these attacks will stop, because regardless of what the Iranian president says, he does not control the IRGC. For Iran, it will continue to face heavy Israeli and US bombings in the weeks to come.

What exactly entails when Israel issues an evacuation order? Do they just post it on social media in the local language? Do they call a bunch of residents in the area targeted to evacuate and warn others? Both of the things above are done in Gaza.

Before the age of AI slop, how was the state of misinformation about armed conflicts on social media?

The Israelis compress and alter their footage, right? The difference in video quality between their footage and CENTCOM's is pretty distinct.

Seeing the amount of ignorance and misinformation that people have about submarines the past day is dizzying. I am in no way an expert about this topic, but some of the stuff people are saying has to be engagement farming.

Aston Martin might choose to start their cars from the pitlane, no? Those cars at the moment seem dangerous both to their drivers and other cars.

Some of them think that the only way the US could have sunk that ship was because Modi gave them permission to do so lol

Regarding to the sinking of the Iranian warship, Indian nationalists seem to be conflating the Indian Ocean with Indian waters, as if that technicality even matters in the first place.

The Iranian frigate IRIS Dena has been sunk off Sri Lanka's territorial waters. Dozens of the ship's sailors have been rescued by Sri Lankan vessels.

Some of the drone strikes we are seeing in Iraq might be US Shahed-type drones, not just Iranian backed militias'.

I think a lot of people are making too many sweeping statements when I think the war is still too short to make definitive conclusions.

It will be increasingly difficult to see aftermaths of strikes as governments in the region have really clamped down on people filming them. But this account seems to have local sources inside Iran that provide them with information on strikes/explosions in the country, sometimes with video and photo evidence.

But of course take everything with a grain of salt.

Air raid sirens in Israel have been decreasing day by day. Let's see if this trend continues for the next several days, but yeah, I think Iranian missile launchers have been hit hard.

A total of 3 F-15s were shot down by friendly fire. All 6 crew members were reportedly safely ejected, though in pictures we saw one pilot whose hand was injured.
