شاید به نظر برسد مهم‌ترین خبر امروز، آغاز دوباره حملات هوایی آمریکا به پایگاه‌های سپاه در جنوب ایران است؛ اما به نظر می‌رسد سخنان امروز اسکات بسنت، وزیر خزانه‌داری آمریکا، اهمیت بیشتری دارد.

آمریکا در حال ترکیب فشارهای بسیار شدید اقتصادی با حضور گسترده نظامی در دریای عمان و حملات هوایی مانند حملات امروز است؛ ترکیبی از فشار اقتصادی و قدرت نظامی.

این روند یک پرسش مهم را مطرح می‌کند: آیا آمریکا، بدون آنکه رسماً از «تغییر رژیم» سخن بگوید، عملاً در مسیر سرنگونی جمهوری اسلامی گام برمی‌دارد؟

This morning, Ukraine has struck and destroyed several Russian warships at the major naval port of Novorossisyk and absolutely devastated surrounding Russian defenses in some of the worst attack aftermath seen so far in the war. Meanwhile, Ukraine also launched an unprecedented strike on Russia reaching over 3,000km into Russia’s desolate Siberia region — as it appears a critical gas facility was likely destroyed in the attack. Meanwhile, Russian frontline forces have begun panicking as Ukrainian forces continue to push a major breakthrough on the Lyman front, and it appears the Russians are getting steamrolled at the moment. And we also have bombshell news from Iran, that new activity has been detected at the notorious Pickaxe mountain nuclear site that indicates Iran may have restarted nefarious research in the mountain.

Iran reportedly damaged eight U.S. Air Force F-15E Strike Eagles and an A-10 during a ballistic missile attack on Muwaffaq Salti Air Base in Jordan — and hours later mysterious explosions were reported across Iran's southern coastline near Sirik, Minab and Qeshm Island along the Strait of Hormuz. Former F-15E Strike Eagle and Thunderbird pilot Max Afterburner breaks down what may have been targeted, how the U.S. military kill chain works, and why radar, command-and-control and maritime infrastructure matter as much as the weapons themselves.

Iran may be running out of patience with the U.S. blockade. Retired Rear Admiral Mark Montgomery warns that Tehran could launch an attack against America’s Arab partners in late September or early October—potentially restarting full-scale military operations and disrupting President Trump’s strategy ahead of the midterm elections.

Mike Baker speaks with Admiral Montgomery, senior director at the Foundation for Defense of Democracies, about Iran’s possible next move, America’s struggle to defend Gulf infrastructure from drone attacks and the long-term strain the blockade could place on U.S. military readiness.

David Hookstead talks about Germany confirming Russia attacked the Leipzig/Halle Airport in a failed drone attack. There is also footage of a Russian helicopter going down and an insane gunfight between Ukrainian intelligence forces was captured on video. There are also many more updates with the status of the war.

Belarus has now officially crossed the red line, violated the recent agreement with Ukraine, and engaged itself in Russia’s long-range drone campaign, providing relay infrastructure on Belarusian territory to guide Shahed drones in real time. The latest indication came from a jet-powered, camera-guided Shahed strike against the Ukrainian city of Malyn.

Analysis of the drone’s flight path shows it was following and maneuvering closely to the Belarusian-Ukrainian border before turning along a highway toward Korosten and then following a railway line directly to its target. Such precise navigation strongly suggests continuous operator control rather than a simple pre-programmed GPS route. Because the target lay roughly two hundred and sixty kilometers from the Russian border, maintaining direct radio contact from Russia alone would have been technically impossible, as no airborne Russian relay drones were operating in the vicinity.

That leaves ground-based relay stations inside Belarus as the only explanation, as they extend communications range, allowing operators to alter routes in real time to avoid Ukrainian air defenses, evade interceptor drones in modern-style drone dogfights, and adjust onto the target if needed. Without these relay networks, Shahed drones would be limited largely to predetermined waypoints, making them substantially less flexible and easier to intercept.

This development comes after Belarusian President Lukashenko had already received an explicit warning from Kyiv, as President Volodymyr Zelensky demanded that Belarus dismantle any infrastructure supporting Russian drone guidance, warning that Ukraine would destroy the network itself if Belarus failed to act. Ukrainian officials subsequently stated that approximately five hundred military-related targets inside Belarus had already been identified should further assistance to Russian operations continue. As a result, Lukashenko caved to the threat and turned the relays off, only to be forced by Russia to go back on his decision now.

Recent Ukrainian deep-strike campaigns against Russia demonstrate that such threats cannot be dismissed lightly, as Ukraine has repeatedly launched massive drone raids involving up to one thousand long-range drones during a single night, at times simultaneously striking Moscow, Crimea, and other distant regions while overwhelming dense Russian air defenses in all of them.

Belarus possesses nothing comparable to Russia’s multilayered defensive network; with its smaller inventory of S-Three-Hundred systems, limited S-Four-Hundred batteries, Buks, Tors, Pantsirs, and aging fighter aircraft, it would face enormous difficulties responding to Ukraine’s large-scale saturation attacks. The country's proximity to northern Ukraine further compresses reaction times, leaving only minutes to detect, classify, and intercept incoming low- and fast-flying drones before they reach critical infrastructure.

At the same time, provoking Ukrainian retaliation against Belarus may actually serve Russia’s broader interests and be part of a larger Russian strategy. Near-assuredly, Belarus's putting the relays back up has come under pressure from Moscow, despite knowing Ukraine’s threats and the risks to Belarus. Russia hopes that if Ukraine is forced to redirect a portion of its long-range strike campaign toward Belarusian military and relay infrastructure, the pressure on Russian territory could decline. Belarus would effectively become a sacrificial lamb, absorbing Ukrainian retaliation while Russia gained valuable time to replenish interceptor stocks and reorganize its air defenses.

However, this strategy may ultimately fail because Ukraine possesses far more options than drone strikes alone. Communications relays, command nodes, and supporting infrastructure inside Belarus do not necessarily need to be destroyed through large-scale aerial attacks. Cyber operations, electronic warfare, sabotage, or special forces insertions behind enemy lines could neutralize these networks without consuming Ukraine’s long-range strike assets, especially as Ukraine is creating a dedicated Cyber Forces branch within the Armed Forces, with specialized research infrastructure for its units.

Such an approach would allow Ukraine to maintain the overwhelming majority of its drone campaign against Russian oil facilities, logistics hubs, and military infrastructure while simultaneously degrading Belarusian support through covert means. Rather than choosing between Russia and Belarus, Ukraine possesses a wide series of complementary instruments capable of operating in parallel, denying Moscow the breathing space it hopes to create by drawing Belarus further into the conflict.

During a gaggle outside of the White House on Friday, President Trump was asked about NATO.

This isn't a rational move for Russia, but that might not matter

So Ukraine says they have intelligence that Russia is planning a ground attack from the north, towards Kyiv. Now it’s far from certain that Russia could even pull that off but the timing is notable.

So far this week we have the CIA director secretly traveling to Moscow to reportedly warn Russia against attacking NATO. And today, the Polish Prime minister “the escalation from Russia's side is progressing. and we must be prepared for various scenarios.”
