Been a minute since I put one of these together, so I didn’t feel it appropriate to call it a “Daily X Thread.” Anyway, here are some stories that you may have missed over the last few days.
The Iran war is dangerously expanding. I haven’t written much about the war with Iran, mostly because it gives me a sense of unease. Do they deserve it? Yes, in my opinion they do. Will the Middle East ever be settled with that regime in place? No, peace is not possible with that regime in power. With the answer to those questions, it should be an easy call but there is still something unsettled in my gut on this one.
🚨 Ukraine has disrupted a key military logistics corridor linking Russia and the Islamic Republic.

As other countries slowly get involved, the Iranian threat expands.
🇮🇷🇬🇧 Iran claims to have smuggled sleeper agents into the UK who pretended to be asylum seekers.
One Iranian official claimed “revolutionary people” had been positioned in London and warned Tehran could “easily make London unsafe” if it chose to do so.

Insane is the appropriate word descriptor here.
I think people don’t realise how insane it is that Iranian operatives were caught attempting to break into Britain by small boats.
Let alone who else has crossed into our country who we know nothing about.

This could quietly be a very big development. Insurgency support can flow two ways. Put a pin in this for later.
🚨 Iraqi security forces are confronting pro-Iranian militia elements in Baghdad.
According to local reports, Iraqi Special Forces have deployed across parts of the capital, including Sadr City, amid claims the area has been used to launch missiles and drones.

Shocked that we can’t trust the Pakistani’s. For the last 20 years, they have been the most duplicitous country on the face of this Earth. Honestly, when taken as a whole and considering Afghanistan, Pakistan is almost as explicit as Iran in the continuation of the wars that have defined my generation.
🚨 A bombshell report by The Times of Israel claims Pakistan’s army chief secretly partnered with the IRGC to profit from sanctions-busting Iranian oil exports during the war.
Citing three anonymous officials, the report says Pakistan’s Field Marshal Asim Munir and IRGC… pic.twitter.com/ajMuKhewHy

Just incase you need a reminder why this regime needs to go. More evidence there will never be peace while it remains in place.
🇸🇾🇮🇷🇱🇧 Here’s footage of the massive weapons cache that was hidden inside an oil tanker by Iran and bound for Hezbollah in Lebanon.
Until Syria intercepted it along the way.
Inside were hundreds of drones, missiles, and components…

Let’s wrap this up with some footage of the absolute insanity of the wars being fought. It’s like bird hunting from a plane except the birds can kill you!
Remarkable onboard footage from a Ukrainian Yak-52 backseat gunner shooting down Russian Shahed attack drones from an open cockpit with his rifle. pic.twitter.com/1r1jFiTc6T
