News Summary February 6

PART 1. Epstein’s Echo & Intelligence Failures

Operation "MONITUM"
🇮🇱🇹🇷 For the first time in decades, a public failure of Israeli intelligence has been recorded.
Turkish National Intelligence (MİT) detained two suspects in Istanbul for espionage on behalf of Mossad.
➡️ Suspects: Mehmet Budak Derya (an engineer conducting espionage under the guise of marble trading) and his accomplice Veysel Kerimoglu.
Charges include gathering and transmitting intelligence data.
🤍Turks release video of Mossad agents detained


📄The Epstein Case

ℹ️The global intelligence community is bursting at the seams: The FBI finally decided to reveal the secret of the "crime of the century" success in several files.
🇺🇸🔎🇮🇱 Epstein was recruited by Mossad through Harvard law professor Alan Dershowitz.
➡️ It turns out Epstein worked for both US intelligence and "allied" agencies.
🇮🇱🇸🇦🇦🇪❌🇶🇦🇹🇷🇮🇷🇸🇾 Under the Israelis, Epstein underwent spy training under former Israeli PM Ehud Barak. Their alliance was part of a broader geopolitical front: #Israel, #Saudi_Arabia, and #UAE against #Qatar, #Turkey, #Iran, and #Syria.

➡️🌐🇳🇴 In turn, the #WEF launched an independent investigation into CEO Børge Brende after it was revealed that Brende dined with Epstein multiple times from 2018 at the invitation of former Norwegian Deputy PM Terje Rød-Larsen.

❗️🇺🇸🇸🇦🇨🇳 Epstein’s partnership with the Rothschilds and the Saudis has also been exposed, as well as the financier's race for immortality: Epstein funded a genome editing program (CRISPR) with a solid $193,400.
⏺ The Rothschilds' interaction with Epstein is extensive. The US DOJ archive contains nearly 12,000 mentions (though some documents are being systematically deleted).

➡️🌎 The list of figures in the "Epstein Case" includes half the world, including Google and X co-founder Sergey Brin, Bill Gates, and Apollo Global Management CEO Marc Rowan.
source: 1, 2, 3

➡️ Epstein also funded many Silicon Valley startups, — NYT citing declassified DOJ documents.
In 2014, he invested $3 million in Coinbase, $5 million in the startup Jawbone, and later increased his investment in that company to $11.25 million.

➡️ Furthermore, Epstein invested $40 million in Valar Ventures, the venture fund of Palantir founder and PayPal co-founder Peter Thiel — TASS.

📉 It is not surprising that against the backdrop of total leaks on the Epstein case and intelligence failures, the US stock market lost $1 trillion in capitalization, and the crypto market lost $350 billion.

📉💸📈 Bitcoin fell below $63,000 in 24 hours, then jumped back to $70,000.

💰 The Fear and Greed Index in the crypto market fell to 9/100, the lowest level since June 2022.

🚨🇺🇸🚀 In total, the US has deployed over 450 Tomahawk cruise missiles to the Middle East — NBC News.

🇺🇸⛴ However, according to POLITICO, the US Navy still requires more than a week to reach positions necessary for a potential attack on Iran.

Diplomatic Panic
‼️🇺🇸🇮🇷 The US Virtual Embassy in Tehran issued a major security alert urging US citizens to leave Iran immediately.
🤍 All this during talks between the US and Iran, which on the American side (besides Kushner and Witkoff) included CENTCOM Commander Admiral Brad Cooper (suggesting that military men make lousy negotiators).

#US and #Iran held eight-hour talks in Muscat mediated by Oman — Axios.

⚡️🇮🇷🇺🇸🇴🇲 Iran demanded to secure its right to uranium enrichment — WSJ, IRNA.

#Iran War
Doomsday Sandwiches

It’s time to call the men in white coats to the White House, but Trump invited the priests instead.
✝️ 🇺🇸 POTUS has found a new, extravagant way to fix the mess on the Middle Eastern front: prayer circles in the Oval Office.

➡️ Déjà vu much? Russians under Putin fight fires and floods the exact same way. "Icons it is!"

❌🇮🇷 Meanwhile, the late Khamenei continues to shitpost on X threatening tweets with missiles (what a disgrace, what the hell is Grok doing? Zero national patriotism!)


🥕🗺 While two geezers — one technically dead, the other technically alive — continue to lose their minds in their own special ways, the Arabs are suddenly very interested in a pressing question: what the fuck are we going to eat?

As it turns out, the entire Middle Eastern economy has survived for decades on a primitive scheme: oil for food.

🇦🇪 #UAE imports 80-90% of its food.

🇸🇦 #Saudi_Arabia — 80%.

🇰🇼 #Kuwait — 95%.

❗️Dubai has exactly 10 days of fresh food left, according to Stefan Paul, CEO of logistics giant Kühne+Nagel, in an interview with Heute.


Everyone has their own priorities
🇺🇸 Hegseth and Brad Cooper (CENTCOM Commander) happily reported their "achievements":

✅ Over the past 72 hours, US bombers struck nearly 200 targets deep inside Iran.

✅ In the last hour, B-2A Spirit bombers dropped dozens of 2,000-pound bunker-busters aimed at deep-underground ballistic missile launchers.

✅ Iranian missile strikes have dropped by 90% since day one, and drone strikes by 81%.

✅ We sank over 30 Iranian ships.

➡️ "US troops in Iran ditched PC war rules," — Pentagon Chief Pete Hegseth.

⏺Conscience or basic humanity? MIA too:

NYT reported that the strike on a girls' primary school Shajareh Tayyebeh in Minab, Iran, which killed 171 children and 14 staff members, was carried out by the US Air Force, not Israel.

🇺🇸 🇺🇦 Fox News, backing up claims of outstanding American successes on all fronts, broadcasted footage of Ukrainian STING interceptor drones hitting Russian Geran-2 kamikaze drones in Ukraine, passing it off as incredible US AI drone technology currently crushing Iran.

➡️✈️Meanwhile, in reality: the valiant US Air Force successfully bombed painted Iranian planes on tarmac.
Meanwhile, US intel/military yanked staff from ME (friendly fire flashbacks?)

🇮🇷 #Iran is eagerly waiting for the #US to finally launch a ground operation, which "will become hell for them." As it known, the first attempt at a ground phase via Iraq was a total flop.

"Yeah, right!"
🇺🇸 Trump immediately called the idea of a ground invasion of Iran a "waste of time" (NBC News) and stated:

We had no choice. They were going to hit us if we didn’t hit them because they are crazy, not us."

As they say, there's no arguing over flavors of nuts. Putin said the exact same thing about Ukraine in 2022.

UPD:
⚡️🇨🇺 Trump also stated that after Iran there will be #Cuba — Rubio will "prepare everything."

#US vs. #IRAN — Middle East #War: Market Meltdown

⚡️💸📉Bitcoin crashed to $68,000. The entire crypto market is bleeding.

⚠️📉 Not just crypto — the entire US stock market is on fire because of Trump's war.
Investors lost over $800 billion in minutes.

⚡️🛢📈 Brent crude surged to $92/barrel — first time since 2024. Oil is up 43% since the start of this year.
@banki_oil

➡️ The Strait of Hormuz remains closed.

Key stats: ~25% of all global seaborne oil trade passes through Hormuz.

• 🇸🇦 37% — #Saudi Arabia

• 🇮🇶🇦🇪🇮🇷🇰🇼 Followed by #Iraq, #UAE, #Iran, #Kuwait

Top buyers:

• 🇨🇳 #China — 37.7% of all shipments

• 🇮🇳 #India — 14.7%

For comparison, in 2017:

• 🇨🇳 China bought 26% of Iranian oil

• 🇮🇳 India — 20%

• 🇪🇺 Europe — 19%

• 🇰🇷 South Korea — 12%

Today Europe buys zero — nearly all its oil comes from #Russia (including via India).

Conclusion: The Kremlin is playing by its own rules — and winning.

🇺🇸🛢 Depleted oil reserves make the US vulnerable if the war with Iran drags on — Financial Times

➡️ Here's why Trump needs this war: The US economy "unexpectedly" lost 92,000 jobs in February 2026 alone — WSJ (confirmed: PBS, NBC, EPI — unemployment rose to 4.4%)

🇦🇪💵🪖❌🇺🇦 Gulf states are willing to pay more for weapons: The US approved a $184M Patriot missile system deal for the UAE — instead of Ukraine. (confirmed: Raytheon contract, $183.7M, approved March 4-5)

⚡️⚡️UPD:
❌💸 BlackRock just froze $1.2B in withdrawal requests at its private credit fund.

What happened:
• Investors in BlackRock's $26B fund asked to pull out 9.3% of their money
• BlackRock said no — capped withdrawals at 5%
• Blackstone's $82B fund saw record withdrawal requests the same week
• Blackstone had to put in $400M of its own cash to cover the exits

#US vs. #IRAN #War
🔥Second phase of the war: neither oil nor water
ENVIRONMENTAL CATASTROPHE IN THE MIDDLE EAST · Part 2: #WATER & #URANIUM

⚡️BREAKING:
🇺🇸 🇮🇱 🇮🇷 Axios, citing informed sources, reports negotiations between the US and Israel on plans to send special forces into Iranian territory to seize uranium stockpiles:

The US is considering deploying special forces to capture Iran's nuclear arsenal.

❗️Note: in the editors' opinion, this may be a planted story — the US lacks the capacity for a ground operation.

⚡️"Trump has privately expressed serious interest in deploying American troops on Iranian soil" — NBC News
➡️ Why haven't they been deployed yet, and why did the attack through Iraq stall?


📝 ⚔️Information warfare in progress:

🇦🇪 🚀🇮🇷 The #UAE struck an Iranian desalination plant for the first time — Israeli media

🇮🇷🚀 🇦🇪 The UAE, in turn, claims that Iran struck the Emirates hardest, carrying out 42.8% of all attacks (over 1,276) — more than double Israel's 20.1% (approximately 600 attacks).

🇰🇼 🇧🇭 🇸🇦 Next in scale is #Kuwait at 16.8% (approximately 500 attacks), while #Bahrain (6.6%) and #Saudi_Arabia (5.4%) account for a smaller share of the nearly 2,981 recorded attacks.

🇮🇷🚀🇧🇭 Bahrain's Ministry of Interior stated that an Iranian drone caused "material damage" to their desalination facility.

💧 Persian Gulf states rely on desalination for more than 85–90% of their drinking water.

🇶🇦 #Qatar depends on desalination for nearly 100%
🇰🇼🇧🇭 #Kuwait and #Bahrain ~ 90%
🇴🇲 #Oman — 86%
🇸🇦 Saudi Arabia — 70%.

🇧🇭 Bahrain allows the US to use its territory to strike Iran, and confirms that the US previously bombed an Iranian desalination plant.
The strike was carried out after US airstrikes, supported by Israel, hit an Iranian desalination plant on Qeshm Island.

🇺🇸 When asked whether the US attacked a water desalination plant in Iran, Trump responded in classic fashion:

Iranians are "some of the most vicious people on Earth," "They cut babies' heads off..."

As seen in the video, Witkoff and Hegseth nod in agreement.
