US resumes bombing Iran

The fools in DC are following the Israel playbook
by bombing during a 'ceasefire'. The military blew-up
2 fast boats in the Gulf of Oman, killing 4 Iranian sailors.
They didn't stop there. They sent missiles ashore into
coastal targets. These missions are being announced as
'defensive' in nature. Expect Iran to send retaliatory strikes
towards US ships with their recently acquired Chinese munitions.

The Iranian Army claimed to have shot down a U.S.-owned MQ-9 Reaper drone over the Persian Gulf.

The statement also claimed that fire was opened on a U.S.-owned RQ-4 drone and an
F-35 fighter jet, and that the aforementioned platforms had left Iranian airspace and withdrawn.

of the US - Iran peace deal.

A taste of the points -

3. Iran will get rid of its enriched uranium by putting it into a bomb and dropping it on Israel:
Problem solved.

7. Iran will be officially renamed "The Islamic Republic Of Trump Lovers": It's got a ring to it.

Iran is showing remarkable restraint, and, of course more faith in UA honesty and goodwill than is ever warranted under any circumstances. Have been somewhat on idle this am peeking and poking around the internet watching to see if anybody will cut loose.

Meanwhile:

A tanker ship that arrived in Russia’s Leningrad Region from the Belgian port of Antwerp had NATO-made magnetic mines attached to its hull, the Russian Investigative Committee has said.

Tanker is described as a "gas tanker", report from RT.

Also, substack via Boing-boing:

Journalist who investigated Epstein's New Mexico compound says she's been hit with directed-energy weapons

not too much to add, so far, but there's a bunch of stuff about the Rus that I've got to look into.

be well and have a good one

the LNG tanker. I would suspect that those mines were not planted with the intent of simply sinking the ship while she was safely out at sea somewhere. Instead, it is my belief that they were intended to be used to convert her into a massive improvised fuel-air explosive device to flatten an entire harbor area, while in port somewhere.

LNG tankers are *serious* bombs-on-the-hoof: all you have to do to see how seriously they are taken when, for example, one passes through New York Harbor on their way up the Hudson to the LNG terminals upstream. The Coast Guard and the NYPD's Harbor Division clear everything, and I do mean everything, well out of the way: even the Staten Island Ferries stand down as they pass.

This represents very high-order fuckery, to my way of thinking. It could easily rival the Texas City or Halifax disasters if some numbnuts actually pulled the trigger on a fully-loaded LNG tanker in a crowded port. Whoever did this fully deserves the beatings that should be in their futures.
