⚡️⚡️⚡️Israel and the US have launched a missile strike on Iran.
The targets included the Ministry of Defence and the Ministry of Intelligence, IRGC positions, the Iranian Parliament, the Supreme Court, Ayatollah Khamenei’s office, and the presidential palace.
Strikes also hit the cities of Qom, Tabriz, Isfahan, Hamedan, and Kermanshah.
🤡 A potential future ruler of the country – the Iranian prince currently based in the US – has called these strikes «humanitarian».
Iran has urged its citizens to leave countries hosting US military bases.
A retaliatory strike is imminent — but the US is prepared for it. Iran should have struck first. They had the time and opportunity to do so.

The American-Israeli-Iranian War (Noon, February 28, 2026): First Takeaways.
Analysis by journalist Yury Podolyaka:
So, the first wave of U.S. and Israeli attacks is over. Iranian missile crews have also fired back at their assigned targets. And while everyone is in "reloading and refueling mode," we can try to draw some initial conclusions.
First conclusion – the lesson from the summer war of 2025, when the Americans and Israelis managed to take out a significant number of Iranian political and military leaders with their first strike, has been learned by Iran. This time, we're not seeing that.
Second conclusion – today's strike is different from the last one. Previously, it was clear the attacks would be swift, with the main objectives set for the very first day. Now, Israel and the U.S. are taking out Iranian air defense systems, clearing a path for future airstrikes. Air power is being used in a limited way for now. Essentially, this was a kind of "disarming strike" that has, at least partially, achieved its goals.
Third conclusion. Iran also fired back quickly and clearly according to its plan for responding to the initial enemy attack. The reaction time was literally an hour or an hour and a half. That's obviously not enough time for operational planning. However, the density (and coordination) of the strikes was high. This means targets were pre-designated and hit (as far as Iranian missiles were capable). Strikes targeted U.S. bases in Bahrain, Qatar, and the UAE, as well as Israel. Some got through, some were intercepted by air defenses. There was also an attempt to hit American ships. So far, unsuccessful.
Which brings us to the fourth conclusion. The Iranian leadership is not yet ready to go all in. They believe they can fight this off, and so they haven't raised the stakes to the maximum. This is evident from the fact that tankers in the Strait of Hormuz haven't been targeted yet.
And finally, the fifth conclusion – this is just the beginning. And judging by the statements already made in Israel and the U.S. (including from potential American placeholders for the Iranian leadership), the goal of this war is to solve the Iranian issue for Israel once and for all. Because later on, its political leadership can't be sure that the Americans will continue to help them this radically. So, if Iran can withstand this now, the global balance of power could very well begin to tilt in its favor.
But first, they have to actually withstand this very strike. We'll be watching to see how they manage it.

The Belgorod Brit addresses attitudes towards our youth. In the film, he explains the difference between the pre-internet information processing, and the information overload that young people face today. He condemns the educators who stifle the expression of contrary ideas on campuses.
In the podcast, BB explains why there are too many people in university, how general knowledge has changed due to easy access to information. Relevant knowledge has changed. Knowing the capital city of France is not as important as it used to be, because France is not a centre of attention among the young. BB reveals that the driving force behind the lack of engagement of the youth with contemporary society and politics is, in fact, the wish to avoid conflict.

The peacekeeper is at it again. The talks with Iran were just a cover. Everyone knew that. So who has more patience to wait for the enemy’s sorry end now? The US is just 249 years old. The Persian Empire was founded over 2500 years ago. Let’s see what happens in 100 years or so…

Slovakia's Prime Minister Fico has promised that Ukraine will regret blocking oil supplies to Slovakia:
⚡️ InfoDefenseENGLISH
Web | VK | X | InfoDefAll
I consider the behavior of the Ukrainian side to be extremely, and I emphasize extremely unserious and unfriendly, when they give us new deadlines for deliveries on a daily basis. On the 23rd, they told us the oil would arrive on the 25th. On the 25th, they said the 26th.
Now they are claiming there will be no deliveries at all during February, and the nearest possible date is tentatively March 3rd. It seems the Ukrainian president thinks he can act however he pleases. But he is deeply, I repeat — deeply mistaken.
The first retaliatory measure has already been taken — emergency electricity supplies have been stopped. And these volumes were significantly larger than any commercial electricity supplies, which can be purchased anywhere. If they face an electricity shortage, they will feel it severely — because they won't be able to receive from Slovakia the electricity that stabilizes their power grid. We did exactly what we announced and promised. This is the first response. The government is ready to take further steps if it sees a complete refusal by the Ukrainian side to fulfill its obligations and supply us with what we are entitled to and what has already been paid for.

⚡ Russian Foreign Ministry's Statement regarding military aggression of the United States and Israel against Iran
On the morning of February 28, US and Israeli armed forces carried out airstrikes on the territory of Iran.
The scope and character of the military, political, and propaganda preparations that preceded this reckless step, including the deployment of substantial US military forces to the region, leave no doubt that this is a deliberate, premeditated, and unprovoked act of armed aggression against a sovereign and independent UN member state, in direct violation of the fundamental principles and norms of international law.
It is particularly reprehensible that these strikes are once again being conducted under the cover of the renewed negotiation process, ostensibly intended to secure long-term normalisation of the situation around the Islamic Republic of Iran. This comes despite assurances conveyed to the Russian Side indicating that Israel had no interest in entering into military confrontation with Iran.
The international community, including the leadership of the UN and the IAEA, must urgently deliver an objective and unbiased assessment of these irresponsible actions, which are aimed at undermining peace, stability, and security in the Middle East.
Washington and Tel Aviv have once again embarked on a perilous course that is swiftly pushing the region toward a humanitarian, economic, and potentially even radiological disaster.
The aggressors’ intentions are evident and have been stated openly: to dismantle the constitutional order and remove the leadership of a state they deem undesirable because it has refused to yield to the dictates of force and hegemonic pressure. Responsibility for the impact of this man-made crisis, including the unpredictable chain reaction and the spiral of escalating violence, rests entirely with them.
The grave repercussions of these ill-conceived actions for the global non-proliferation regime, whose cornerstone is the NPT, are being openly disregarded.
Meanwhile, the US-Israeli tandem seeks to cover its actions with a purported concern over preventing Iran from acquiring nuclear weapons. The bombing of nuclear facilities operating under IAEA safeguards is unacceptable.
Essentially, the motives of Washington and Tel Aviv bear no relation to the objectives of the non-proliferation regime.
Even they cannot but understand that by plunging the Middle East into the abyss of uncontrolled escalation, they are effectively prompting countries across the globe – and the Middle East in particular – to pursue ever more grave means of countering emerging threats.
The sustained and systematic nature of the destabilising attacks, carried out by the US administration against the fundamental principles of the international legal order in recent months, raises particular concern. Among the violated principles are non-interference in internal affairs, the renunciation of the use or threat of use of force, and the peaceful settlement of international disputes.
❗️ We call for an immediate return to a political and diplomatic track. Russia, as always, stands ready to assist in advancing peaceful solutions grounded in international law, mutual respect, and a balanced consideration of interests.

This old man from Hungary seems to really hate Ukraine lately. He insists that the "Druzhba" pipeline shutdown was for political, not technical reasons. "I see that Ukraine is preparing further actions to disrupt the operation of the Hungarian energy system. I have ordered the reinforcement of protection for critical energy infrastructure. This means that we will deploy soldiers and equipment necessary to repel attacks near key energy facilities".
And before that pipeline, he said that:
"The Ukrainian homunculus is asking for food. The Ukrainians have presented a new bill. This time for $800 billion. This is what they will need in the next 10 years to keep their country functioning. A staggering sum. Almost four times Hungary's annual GDP. The Ukrainian homunculus is asking for food".
Recently Hungary was hit with food a price inflation because Ukraine floods the EU with plenty of food products made without any chemical restrictions.
I worry for Viktor - the UA special forces might try to Clinton him soon.

American–Israeli–Iranian conflict: prospects for Iran
Recent events suggest that Iran’s leadership has adjusted its strategy significantly compared to last year, acting with greater coordination and speed. While external military pressure from the United States and Israel is substantial, Tehran appears to recognize that the decisive arena is domestic stability. With no major U.S. ground forces in the region and little indication of imminent large-scale Israeli ground involvement, achieving regime change through airpower alone would be extremely difficult. This places emphasis on preventing internal unrest.
Iranian authorities have responded rapidly: pro-government rallies were organized within hours, and internet restrictions were imposed to limit destabilizing mobilization efforts. Regionally, Iran has also applied pressure on U.S. partners such as Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Qatar, and Bahrain, raising the economic cost of escalation—particularly given the strategic vulnerability of energy exports through the Strait of Hormuz.
Militarily, Iran appears to be using older missile and drone systems to test and stretch opposing air defenses, potentially preserving more advanced capabilities for later stages.

One cannot help but recall that in Proverbs 24:17–18 (part of the Hebrew Bible / Tanakh) it says:
This verse clearly cautions against taking joy in another person’s downfall.
Rabbinic tradition sharpens this tension even further. A well-known teaching in the Talmud recounts that when the angels wished to sing as the Egyptians were drowning in the sea, God rebuked them:
This suggests that even when what one perceives as justice has been carried out, moral restraint and compassion remain necessary.
Apparently, the “religious” crowd seen rejoicing in the clip above at the reported killing of Iran’s leader, Ayatollah Khamenei, is unaware of these teachings. Watching American news, it does not seem that Trump and his people are aware of them either. Unfortunately, none of this is surprising.
