Israel’s Defense Minister Israel Katz is warning that intelligence indicates Hamas may be planning further kidnappings of Israelis. Katz says that if another Israeli soldier or civilian is abducted, Gaza City’s residents would be ordered south and the city would face a major Israeli military response. Israel also says it will maintain its current position in Gaza until Hamas is eliminated and the Strip is disarmed. Joining ILTV to discuss the warning and what Palestinian messaging reveals about Hamas’s strategy is Itamar Marcus, Founder and Director of Palestinian Media Watch (PMW).

روز سه‌شنبه، همه منتظر بودند ببینند دونالد ترامپ، رییس‌جمهوری آمریکا، در سخنرانی افتتاحیه خود در سازمان ملل درباره جمهوری اسلامی چه خواهد گفت. مهم‌ترین بخش سخنان او، تهدید جمهوری اسلامی به نابودی در صورت نرسیدن به توافق بود. ترامپ گفت در آستانه گرفتن یک «تصمیم بزرگ» است و پیامش روشن بود: یا توافق می‌کنید، یا نابودتان می‌کنیم.

کارت تنگه هرمز از آنجا گام‌به‌گام سوخت که جمهوری اسلامی جدیت و توان آمریکا برای باز کردن آنجا را دست‌کم گرفته و به‌طور متوهمانه‌ای، بیش از حد روی توان خود برای بسته نگه‌داشتن طولانی‌مدت تنگه حساب باز کرده بود.

جمهوری اسلامی تصور واقع‌بینانه‌ای از قدرت محاصره دریایی آمریکا نداشت. تصور نمی‌کرد نیروی دریایی آمریکا قادر باشد دریای عمان را به‌گونه‌ای مسدود کند که هیچ کشتی و نفت‌کشی نتواند از این دیوار محاصره عبور کند.

Today, the biggest news comes from the Russian Federation. 

Russia recently threatened Poland directly with complete and utter destruction. Patrushev, aide to Putin himself,  stated that Poland will cease to exist in two to three days if it ever enters the war. His statement drew both harsh criticism and ridicule, with many comparing it to Russia’s officially stated goal of capturing Kyiv and Ukraine in only three days at the outbreak of the full-scale invasion. However, this was followed by Russian threats of accidentally striking Polish infrastructure with new Geran five cruise missiles. As Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk cited intelligence reports stating that Russia has genuine plans to carry out kinetic attacks using real drones and missiles against countries that continue to support Ukraine, earlier Russian threats of annihilation seem all too real. 

Russian military analysts have repeatedly identified Poland as the most crucial supporting state for Ukraine. Polish officials themselves confirm that over ninety percent of military and humanitarian aid to Ukraine flows through Polish infrastructure. With delivery estimates totaling around two billion dollars’ worth of military equipment each month, Poland is one of Ukraine’s most important lifelines in the war.

Russian war planners have made real efforts to devise such an operation. Specifically, they discuss the use of the new mass-produced Russian Geran five cruise missile drones for this task. With a range of nine hundred fifty kilometers and a speed of up to six hundred kilometers an hour, nearly all of Poland is within range of these Russian weapons that even Ukraine struggles to take down. However, even when adhering to more realistic flight plans over Ukraine or the Baltic Sea, Russia could still use these drones to strike as far as Gdansk or Warsaw itself. Russian military observers describe that Polish trains, warehouses, repair sites, airfields, ports, and fuel depots directly serve the Ukrainian war machine and allow Ukraine to continue fighting, and are therefore valid military targets that are within Russian range to strike. 

While kinetic strikes seem the furthest away from the hybrid warfare that Russia is currently waging against Europe, the clandestine nature is that Russia would declare these attacks as random accidents, false flag attacks, or blame Ukrainian air defense. This is precisely what Russia has been doing for several years now, with increasing quantity and intensity in recent months; a prominent example being the failed FPV kamikaze drone strike on a Ukrainian cargo plane carrying military supplies at Leipzig airport. The Russian goal is for this probable ambiguity to divide Nato members and prevent a collective response or counter-strike, gradually wearing down the viability of a future Article Five declaration as Russia’s hybrid war moves towards becoming conventional. As Russia is scaling up its efforts and daring to push the red line further and further, the intelligence reports warning of kinetic Russian strikes on Polish infrastructure supporting Ukraine are not as far-fetched as they may initially seem. This is why Poland, together with other Baltic states, has significantly tightened security around critical infrastructure against possible drone strikes. Directly deploying military personnel to help secure LNG and oil terminals and port infrastructure, power and hydro plants, airports, and more. 

In the end, while Russian threats of Warsaw in three days may seem absurd, they are hiding an increasingly aggressive stance. Active threats, enhanced strike capabilities, and hybrid warfare that toes the line of real acts of war are making these scenarios a real possibility. As the defense of the European continent becomes more reliant on the ability to counter the new ways of modern warfare, along with the weapons and methods necessary, Ukraine’s role in this becomes increasingly important. Nato must work closely with its ally currently fighting against the Russian invasion and take real action in implementing the lessons learned, if it wants to undermine Russia’s ability to threaten the security of European states at all.

@WesODonnellX breaks down Ukraine’s Operation Vivaldi and how airborne drones dropped killer ground robots behind enemy lines.

Ukraine is now dropping exploding killer ground robots out of bomber drones more than six miles behind Russian lines.

Apparently, giving drones their own explosives wasn't enough. Now the drones are delivering other drones, and these little robots are being sent into Russian rear areas specifically to attack positions and interfere with logistics.

The operation has a suitably dramatic name: Vivaldi. Ukraine's Third Army Corps says the offensive has already brought 125 square kilometers back under Ukrainian control, including 50 square kilometers recovered from Russian occupation.

And the strangest part may actually be what these machines are doing when they aren't blowing things up, because according to Ukrainian commanders, ground robots cleared 30 kilometers of mined routes in just two nights, without losing a single sapper.

So how exactly did Ukraine begin airlifting killer robots behind Russian lines, and could this change the way armies conduct offensive operations?

Iran’s Revolutionary Guard (IRGC) lost a member to a roadside bomb in Sistan-Baluchestan as armed clashes hit Rask and Zahedan and the rial fell past 263,000 to the dollar. Meanwhile Putin warned NATO that Russia would use “all weapons,” including nuclear, if Kaliningrad is attacked. Former F-15E Strike Eagle and Thunderbirds pilot Max Afterburner breaks down what’s confirmed, what’s claimed, and why Russian missiles and drones exploding inside Moldova show the limits of Moscow’s threats. Hero platforms are the F-15E Strike Eagle’s nuclear mission and the Ohio-class ballistic missile submarine. Plus: two tankers hit in the Strait of Hormuz, Iran’s Hormuz toll bill, the G7’s 100-million-barrel diesel release, and Saudi Arabia intercepting three Houthi ballistic missiles.

خلاصه:
انتشار تصاویر عجیب از اشیای نورانی در آسمان ایران، بار دیگر بحث درباره یوفوها و فناوری‌های ناشناخته را داغ کرده است. برخی از این اشیا به‌شکل وی و برخی دیگر به‌صورت دایره‌ای دیده شده‌اند؛ بدون آنکه هنوز توضیح رسمی و قانع‌کننده‌ای درباره ماهیت آنها ارائه شده باشد. اما ماجرا زمانی جنجالی‌تر شد که این تصاویر به برنامه بنی جانسون رسید و تیم برچت، عضو مجلس نمایندگان آمریکا، احتمال داد آنچه در آسمان ایران دیده شده، یک پدیده واقعی باشد.
برچت می‌گوید با توجه به شرایط کنونی ایران، دشوار است تصور کنیم فردی صرفا برای سرگرمی چنین نمایشی ساخته باشد. با این حال، او احتمال دیگری را نیز مطرح می‌کند؛ اینکه شاید دونالد ترامپ با استفاده از یک فناوری محرمانه، جمهوری اسلامی را سردرگم کرده و می‌خواهد مقام‌های نظامی ایران مدام از خود بپرسند در آسمان کشورشان چه خبر است. احتمالی که یادآور پروژه «جنگ ستارگان» رونالد ریگان و جنگ روانی آمریکا علیه اتحاد جماهیر شوروی است.
در ادامه، پای پیش‌بینی تکان‌دهنده کریس بلدسو به میان می‌آید. او ادعا می‌کند سال‌ها پیش تصویری از آینده به او نشان داده شده بود که در آن، جنگ ایران و اسرائیل به نقطه‌ای بسیار خطرناک می‌رسد. بر اساس روایت بلدسو، پس از حمله شدید ایران، اسرائیل شش سلاح هسته‌ای شلیک می‌کند؛ چهار سلاح به سوی ایران و دو سلاح به سوی سوریه. درست در همان لحظه، آسمان از گوی‌های نورانی پر می‌شود و موجوداتی ناشناخته برای جلوگیری از ادامه فاجعه مداخله می‌کنند.
بلدسو می‌گوید این موجودات قصد نابودی انسان‌ها را ندارند و روایت ترسناکی که احتمالا درباره آنها ساخته خواهد شد، با واقعیت فاصله دارد. به گفته او، این پدیده‌ها می‌خواهند خود را آشکار کنند، اما گروه‌هایی تلاش می‌کنند آنها را به‌عنوان هیولاهایی خطرناک معرفی کنند.
اما اگر این اشیا واقعا وجود دارند، چرا فقط برای چند لحظه ظاهر می‌شوند، مسیرهایی غیرعادی را طی می‌کنند و سپس بدون باقی‌گذاشتن هیچ ردی ناپدید می‌شوند؟ یکی از فرضیه‌های مطرح این است که شاید با مسافرانی از سیاره‌ای دور روبه‌رو نباشیم، بلکه این موجودات از بُعدی دیگر وارد جهان ما می‌شوند.
کارل سیگن با مثال مشهور «سرزمین تخت» توضیح می‌دهد که ورود یک موجود متعلق به بُعدی بالاتر، از نگاه موجودات یک جهان محدودتر چگونه دیده خواهد شد. چنین موجودی ممکن است ناگهان از هیچ ظاهر شود، شکلش تغییر کند، از موانع بسته عبور کند و بعد بدون حرکت در هیچ مسیر قابل مشاهده‌ای ناپدید شود.
در برنامه «یوفوی ایران»، تصاویر دیده‌شده در آسمان ایران، احتمال نقش فناوری محرمانه آمریکا، پیش‌بینی هسته‌ای بلدسو و فرضیه موجودات میان‌بُعدی را کنار هم قرار می‌دهیم؛ روایتی میان جنگ، سیاست، اسناد پنهان و یکی از بزرگ‌ترین معماهای حل‌نشده جهان.

A senior IRGC commander got eliminated during a September 23 operation in Saravan, Iran, as new footage emerged of the Cape Dao after a deadly attack near the Strait of Hormuz. Max Afterburner examines what is confirmed about Brig. Gen. Hossein Zarifi, the disputed identity of the armed fighters, Iran’s shipping claims, and the Houthi warning concerning U.S. interests near Bab al-Mandeb. From a former F-15E pilot’s perspective, Max explains the surveillance and decision chain needed to protect shipping, while separating verified events from battlefield claims. The global roundup covers Trump and Xi’s Washington meeting, Russian and Ukrainian strikes, and Saudi Arabia’s claim that it intercepted six Houthi ballistic missiles.

Today, there are important updates from the Liman direction.  

Here, Ukrainian forces are increasingly shifting their counterattacks toward the forests southeast of Liman by transferring reinforcements with their improved logistical lines. The initial Ukrainian goal is to clear the forests west of Dibrova to consolidate full control over the village itself before pushing down the railway line and recapturing the strongpoints along the way, while other Ukrainian units secure the lakes northeast of Dibrova. Russian infantry had repeatedly exploited this difficult terrain to infiltrate toward Liman and Yampil, using the vegetation to conceal tiny assault groups from Ukrainian reconnaissance. 

Now Ukraine is attempting to reverse that pressure and clear the forest belt that supported Russia’s southern approach to remove the Russian infiltrators before they can accumulate into meaningful positions. Clearing the adjoining forests would consequently do two things simultaneously: strengthen Liman’s southeastern defenses and provide Ukraine with better conditions for stabilizing Yampil.

The forest has already suffered enormous destruction after years of artillery, drones, and close-range fighting. However, the autumn season creates an advantage for the Ukrainians, because as foliage disappears, Russian soldiers who previously relied on it for concealment become increasingly vulnerable to thermal-equipped reconnaissance drones.

As part of their clearing operation, Ukrainian drone pilots systematically scan the tree lines for heat signatures before directing FPV drones or infantry toward suspicious positions. Russian soldiers sheltering beneath trees, inside dugouts, beside wrecked vehicles, or underneath ruined structures remain difficult to identify visually, but thermal optics can reveal signatures that ordinary cameras miss.

Fiber-optic FPV's provide another useful tool in the area because, unlike radio-controlled drones vulnerable to electronic warfare, they maintain their connection through physical fiber, allowing operators to penetrate wooded terrain where trees interfere with conventional signals. Using them, Ukrainian operators can follow paths between trunks, investigate suspected shelters, and attack positions concealed beneath the remaining vegetation.

Once the Ukrainian drones located a Russian group and narrowed down their exact location, Ukrainian assault troops moved forward, while strike drones suppressed or destroyed individual hideouts. Due to these advances, Russian forces mostly withdrew from their salient southeast of Liman and are attempting to defend a small bridgehead west of the Zherebets River, northeast of Yampil.

The broader development becomes particularly significant when combined with Operation Vivaldi, as Ukraine has already eliminated the large Russian salient north of Liman, undermining Moscow’s attempt to create a northern pincer around the city. Clearing operations in the forest southeast of Liman now collapsed their southern flank. 

At the same time the terrain severely restricts what Russia can do next, as dense forests make the use of armored vehicles almost impossible, and those vehicles that can still go through are channeled onto predictable roads and tracks, making mechanized assaults vulnerable to mines, artillery, and drones. The Russian command can continue sending small infantry groups through the forests, but the increasingly improved Ukrainian positions make those movements easier to detect and eliminate.

Overall, Ukraine has an opportunity to further exploit Russia’s setback rather than merely consolidate it, as Ukrainian pressure is now moving southeast toward Yampil. If Ukrainian forces can systematically clear the remaining forest positions around the settlement and stabilize this flank, Russia will lose much of the terrain that allowed infiltrators to approach Liman under concealment. From there, Ukraine can increasingly turn eastward and transform what began as an operation to save Liman into a broader effort to push the frontline farther away from the city.

On September 25, I examine reports of a large Ukrainian long-range drone operation across Russia, including fires at Lukoil’s Perm oil refinery—some 1,500 kilometers from Ukraine—and strikes on the Iskra electronics plant in Ulyanovsk. Iskra is reportedly tied to semiconductor components for Kh-59 missiles, Pantsir air defenses, radar, and communications equipment. Reported targets also included the Novoshakhtinsk refinery, a synthetic-rubber facility in Voronezh, a logistics site in occupied Luhansk, and two radar stations in Rostov.

I compare this dispersed strike pattern with Russia’s overnight drone and missile attacks on Ukraine, including the deadly strike on a Kyiv residential high-rise and reported casualties in Kharkiv Oblast. I also assess airport disruptions, air-defense pressure, the earlier Kuibyshev refinery damage, and Ukrainian drone attacks on Russian logistics on the Zaporizhzhia front. The strategic issue is whether repeated, clustered drone raids can impose sustained costs on Russia’s oil, defense-industrial, and logistics networks.

***BUY SOMETHING TO SHOW YOUR SUPPORT FOR UKRAINE ***

🇺🇦 If you purchase from Saint Javelin with my link below, a cut of the proceeds will go directly to humanitarian aid for soldiers (bandages, tourniquets, etc.). I don't get the revenue. It goes to buy medical supplies from UnitewithUkraine.com. Use this link: https://www.saintjavelin.com/en-us?utm_source=YouTube&utm_medium=Social&utm_campaign=Gerdes

🇺🇸 This is the absolute CHEAPEST THING YOU CAN DO to support Ukraine (This is NOT MY SITE) https://amzn.to/4aPtwQr - Just support the war effort somehow.

🇺🇦 I wrote a book about Ukraine's president Zelenskyy which I have updated for the first 4-5 months of the war in Ukraine: It is free if you have Amazon Kindle Unlimited or $9.99 otherwise: https://amzn.to/3Q2wnyE

🇺🇦 If you cannot give or buy, you can like, share, and pray for the people of Ukraine.
