Chemical weapons center in Iran destroyed

The IDF destroyed one of the most dangerous form of weapons factories Iran was running:

In recent days, one of the IRGC’s central military infrastructure sites was recently struck, located within the compound of Imam Hossein University - the IRGC’s primary military academic institution, which also serves as an emergency asset for the regime’s military bodies.

Under civilian cover, research and development for advanced weaponry were conducted within the university.

Due to its direct affiliation with the IRGC and its involvement in advancing terrorist activity, several countries have imposed sanctions on the university and its senior officials. The university is commanded by Mohammad Reza Hassani Shahnegari, a senior IRGC officer holding a rank equivalent to Brigadier General. [...]

The IDF also destroyed the chemistry center of Imam Hossein University, used by the regime for research and development of chemical weapons; as well as the technology and engineering center of the mechanics and development group. The technology center was a key complex used by the regime for the development of ballistic missiles and additional weapons

This was a most vital step to take, and rid the world of some of the most dangerous manufacturing Iran's mullahs were working on.

Update: in a similar story, the USA military destroyed some camoflaged Iranian ships that were concealing missiles:

Iranian plans to hide cruise and ballistic missiles, and marine raiding parties aboard warships disguised as oil tankers or container ships to raid commerce well away from its own waters has been disrupted by U.S. strikes, a report states.

Gulf allies have been briefed by American and Israeli officers on the operation to wipe out Iran’s force of “adapted and disguised” container and oil tanker ships as part of Operation Epic fury, hearing how U.S. strikes “destroyed five Iranian warships that were disguised as container vessels”, a report in The Times of London states.

While the destruction of most of the ships named in this alleged briefing was already in the public domain — the United States Central Command (CENTCOM) has been active in briefing on its campaign of destruction against now hundreds of Iranian warships of all sizes — this may be the first time a specific mission to take out Iran’s grey fleet of converted civilian ships as a priority has been publicly spoken of.

It is stated the allies played to their own strengths in the “secret operation”, with CENTCOM taking the lead on destroying the ships while Israel concentrated on assassinating Iran’s maritime leadership and naval officers.

Good work.

USA military should definitely seize Iran's concealed uranium sites and Kharg island

The USA military is preparing for a special massive "final blow" against Iran, which includes seizing special assets like Kharg island:

President Donald Trump’s Pentagon is developing military options for what officials describe as a potentially “massive” final blow against Iran — including seizing strategic islands in the Strait of Hormuz, blockading Iranian oil exports, and securing Tehran’s stockpile of highly enriched uranium — as the administration weighs sending 10,000 additional combat troops to the Middle East if diplomacy collapses and the vital waterway remains restricted.

Axios first reported Thursday that the Pentagon is drawing up the escalation options as the White House weighs how to conclude the war if negotiations fail, particularly if Iran continues to impede the free flow of shipping through the Strait of Hormuz, a critical global energy corridor.

The outlet reported that several core options are under discussion, including seizing or blockading Kharg Island, Iran’s primary oil export hub; targeting Larak Island, which plays a central role in monitoring and threatening maritime traffic through the strait; and seizing Abu Musa along with the Greater and Lesser Tunb islands — Iranian-held outposts near the western entrance to the waterway equipped with missile, drone, and mine-laying capabilities.

U.S. planners have also prepared options for ground operations inside Iran aimed at securing the regime’s stockpile of highly enriched uranium, alongside alternative plans for large-scale strikes to neutralize those capabilities.

The planning comes as the Wall Street Journal reported Thursday the Pentagon is weighing sending up to 10,000 additional combat ground troops to the Middle East — including infantry and armored units — adding to forces already deploying to the region, including Marine expeditionary units and elements of the 82nd Airborne Division. [...]

CNN reported that one of the central options under review is Kharg Island, which handles roughly 90 percent of Iran’s crude exports, with some officials arguing that seizing or neutralizing the island could “totally bankrupt” the regime’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps and sharply constrain its revenue stream.

The report added that officials have also discussed authorizing strikes to disable the island’s oil infrastructure, as well as seizing other strategically positioned islands near the Strait of Hormuz to ultimately neutralize Tehran’s ability to threaten tanker traffic moving through the strategic corridor.

A follow-up Axios report Thursday further detailed the strategic role of those islands, noting that Kharg serves as Iran’s primary export terminal, while Larak sits near the narrowest point of the strait and hosts military infrastructure used to track and pressure shipping.

And this is why, if a ground operation is shaping up, the mission has to be done if that's what it takes to put an end to Iran's tyranny. We can only hope this news will convince people to recognize that.

Europe has at least a thousand no-go zones crafted by Islamization

According to a new report by a European think tank:

There are up to a thousand “no-go zones” across Europe and thousands more “sensitive” neighbourhoods as a result of decades of mass migration policies and the failures of multiculturalism to integrate disparate groups of foreigners into Western society, a report has found.

The report, “No-Go Zones, Immigration and the Rise of Parallel Societies,” from the conservative New Direction Foundation for European Reform think tank, estimated that there are between 900 and 1,000 urban areas that could be deemed as “no-go zones”, in which there are elevated levels of crime, social fragmentation, and weakened state authority.

Authored by Maxime Hemery-Aymar, of France’s Observatory of Immigration and Demography (OID), it directly linked the mass migration and open borders agendas to high-crime areas, the breakdown of social norms, and even the fostering of Islamist terrorism.

Indeed, the think tank found that 63 per cent of Islamist terror attacks in Europe between 2010 and 2025 had a “verified link” to an identified no-go zone.

“So-called ‘sensitive neighbourhoods’ in Europe remain fertile grounds where such vulnerabilities can be exploited: community withdrawal, perceived exclusion, and petty crime create a conducive context that jihadist recruiters know how to leverage,” the report stated.

As noted at the end, the time to take action to prevent future horrors stemming from these no-go zones is now. And we have to hope even the USA public is willing to be altruistic, and not let people like Tucker Carlson and John Daniel Davidson influence them negatively.

Update: Allen West also notes in a related point that:

West said, “Domestically, they are beholden. They’re being held hostage to Islamic jihadism. Especially in the United Kingdom and especially in France.”

And the no-go zones are just the beginning.

The raid on Iran was necessary to prevent a nuclear version of 9-11

Bob Kiffney, a former intel specialist, makes an important case for why the USA/Israel needed to attack Iran and stop its nuclear building:

On Sept. 11, 2001, nearly 3,000 Americans were murdered in the deadliest terrorist attack in our nation’s history. The World Trade Center towers collapsed in Lower Manhattan, the Pentagon was breached, and a field in Shanksville, Pennsylvania, became a graveyard for heroes who prevented even greater loss. The economic toll exceeded $100 billion. The psychological wound reshaped American life for a generation.

Now imagine those same three targets struck not by hijacked airliners but by nuclear devices.

Many hundreds of thousands—potentially upward of 800,000 in Manhattan alone—would die instantly in fireballs and blast waves. Hundreds of thousands more would suffer horrific burns and radiation poisoning. Firestorms would rage across dense urban cores. The financial heart of the free world would be paralyzed, the seat of American government devastated, and fallout would render swaths of our most populous regions uninhabitable for years. Trillions in economic damage, mass evacuations, overwhelmed hospitals, and a body count dwarfing 9/11 by orders of magnitude would follow.

That is not science fiction. That was the imminent risk a nuclear-armed Iran posed until the United States and Israel launched decisive military action on Feb. 28.

The ongoing war against the Islamic Republic is not the beginning of a conflict. It is the necessary end to one that has raged for 47 years.

He's absolutely correct. Have any of the RINOs opposing war against Iran's autocracy ever considered that? Let's be clear. If ground invasions are needed to put an end to any further horrors in the making, that's what must be done, and it's to be hoped the USA public understands that at this point, and will back the Trump administration on any decision they make in that context.

All these horrors could've been prevented long ago if anybody who actually cared had shown the courage to do so. Yet all these years, in one of the worst examples of history showing we don't learn lessons from the past, the cancer was allowed to metastisize, and regardless of the current situation and outcome, a horrific mess was left that will take ages to clean up. It's very fortunate the USA and Israeli militaries took up what missions they have so far, because sooner or later, wars to stop evil entities are entirely inevitable.

Utah is doomed by dhimmitude

Robert Spencer's written about how Utah's selling out to woke ideologies, with Islam being one of the latest they're succumbing to:

Mormons once had a reputation for being conservative, but those days are gone forever. Salt Lake City is so woke that it even adopted the pride flag as an official city flag in order to circumvent a ban on flying anything but the official national flag, the state flag, city flags and a few others on municipal property.

And so it was inevitable that Erin Mendenhall, the same far, far-left mayor who spearheaded the continued official display of the pride flag, would also engage in some of the most flagrant Islamopandering we have seen up to now anywhere in the United States. Islamopandering is all the rage these days and is happening all over the country; Mendenhall is by no means unique, but she offers a particularly egregious example of how foolish this really is.

She happily dons a hijab, oblivious to the untold numbers of women who have been threatened, brutalized, and even killed for not wearing it. Back on Sept. 16, 2022, in Tehran, the Iranian morality police arrested Mahsa Amini, a 22-year-old woman, for not wearing her hijab properly. Amini later died in a hospital in Tehran, and numerous Iranians charged that she had been tortured to death while in custody. All over the country, protesters took to the streets to protest not against the hijab laws, but against the repressive and brutal Islamic Republic itself. [...]

And so on and drearily on, as Erin Mendenhall remains blissfully oblivious, and thinks that donning a hijab to try to attract Muslim votes in Salt Lake City is perfectly in harmony with her feminist principles. Lost in all this fantasy, she praises “the values of faith and kindness that Ramadan brings to our community,” giving the impression to those ignorant of their own culture (and they are legion) that Islam teaches faith and kindness in a way that Judaism and Christianity (and Mormonism) do not, and that faith and kindness didn’t exist in the West before Islam came along. She also ignores the real meaning of Ramadan, and why there is always more jihad violence during it.

This says all you need to know what's going wrong in Utah, and this is obviously just for starters. There's also the disturbing case of New Jersey's governor doing the same as she paid a solidarity visit to a cleric accused of Hamas ties:

New Jersey Democratic Gov. Mikie Sherrill attended a Ramadan event at a Paterson mosque led by an Imam who fought deportation for years over alleged ties to Hamas.

Sherrill posted photos of her visit to the Islamic Center of Passaic County on social media, wearing a hijab and taking selfies. In one image, she is seen speaking with the mosque’s longtime leader, Imam Mohammad Qatanani.

"Thank you to the Islamic Center of Passaic County for welcoming me to join their celebration as the holy month of Ramadan comes to a close," she wrote. "I wish our Muslim neighbors a safe, joyous, and peaceful Eid al-Fitr."

Qatanani, a Palestinian-born cleric, has been at the center of a decades-long immigration battle after federal authorities sought to deport him, citing alleged ties to Hamas and claims he failed to disclose a prior detention in Israel. He has denied those allegations, saying he was detained but never convicted.

Worst, a federal judge, quite possibly also a Democrat, blocked his deportation and this is one of the biggest problems with the criminal justice system in the USA now. NJ's governor is another woman, no matter her ethnicity, who's a disgrace for both wearing the hijab and making it look as though she believes being a woman is shameful, and then she makes things worse by siding with a monster.

And as for Mendenhall, what's she trying to do? Use a protected class pandering position in order to bring back polygamy, which the Mormon movement once upheld but mostly abandoned by the end of the 19th century? When somebody embraces a barbaric religion for the sake of that, it's clear something's horribly wrong. These are just a few examples of women who clearly lack self-respect, and must believe being born female is abominable. Somehow, it's also no surprise women who could embrace LGBT ideology would also be willing to later abandon even that if the Religion of Peace so demands.

The dangers faced by lady soccer players from Iran

Some terrible facts about why some Iranian lady soccer players forfeited a chance for asylum overseas:

For most international athletes, the biggest concern is losing the game. For Iranian women, the real fear is losing your life. That’s how dangerous the situation has become for a group of national soccer players, whose story at Australia’s Asia Cup quickly became the very human face of the regime at war with America. Torn by the chance to run from the cruelty of their homeland, but knowing their families could die for it, all but two girls made the ultimate sacrifice — turning their backs on a chance for freedom to embrace a fate even they know is uncertain.

For the last two weeks, the world has been riveted by the international soccer tournament Down Under for one reason: the hijab-wearing team from Iran. Days after bombs started raining down on their homeland, the players stood a half a world away on the turf in defiant silence as their national anthem played. Their quiet protest sent a powerful message on the global stage, but it also put them in the crosshairs of a murderous regime that spent the last several months slaughtering thousands of its own for less brazen acts.

Despite their hero status in Australia, the women were labeled “wartime traitors” by Iranian state media — a not-so-subtle ultimatum that led the team to sing the anthem for the rest of the tournament. But instead of boarding a plane for Tehran after their three straight losses, the women lingered for days at their stopover in Malaysia, alarmed about what awaited them when they touched down.

Awed by their courage, several world leaders weighed in, including President Donald Trump, warning the girls not to go home. Forcing them to go back to Iran could be a death sentence, he insisted. “Don’t do it, Mr. Prime Minister,” he urged Australia’s Anthony Albanese, “give ASYLUM. The U.S. will take them if you won’t.”

Albanese was already on it, promising anyone in the Iranian women’s delegation a chance at a new life with humanitarian visas. Seven accepted. Within 48 hours, five changed their minds, including the team’s captain. The players were “given repeated chances to talk about their options” but ultimately faced “incredibly difficult decisions,” Australia Home Affairs Minister Tony Burke announced last Saturday. Tina Kordrostami, a councilor for the Australian City of Ryde, explained that it was an “upsetting update,” but confirmed that “they are heavily intimidated and being communicated to directly by the regime.”

“I know families have even been detained,” Kordrostami said somberly. “I know family members are missing.” And one thing she wants people in the West to understand is that “Iranians within the country have in many ways given up on the West, and they are only relying on one another to survive this regime. So, when we do offer them a way out, it’s not often that easy for them to understand that it is, in fact, a way out.” She paused before adding, “We are very worried about them. We know for a fact that they will not be safe. I’ve mentioned this before. When you do break a contract as an athlete in Iran, you can face the death penalty. So, I know these women are young. I know that they are making an incredibly difficult decision, and I have the utmost respect for them.”

“Coercion is being used here, intimidation tactics,” Kordrostami stressed. “And we even had an individual amongst the girls within Sydney and Brisbane who was influencing them constantly in their ear, letting them know that whatever Australia is offering them, it will not work.” Asked if the players are being threatened, she answered unequivocally, “I don’t think that, I know that.”

I suspect part of the problem is that Australia's leftists allow coercers and other agents to dwell in the country, but that's a rather moot point. It's practically why the war against Iran has to be carried out and won, and the IRGC must be destroyed along with other dark enforcement systems they have.

Florida university had a very sad case of bad "Republicans" siding with Islamofascists

In the past week or so, the University of Florida had a most humiliating scandal, one that probably won't get coverage even in right-leaning news sources, concerning a College Republicans chapter that was disbanded for antisemitic positions, and it's even more chilling that some might think:

Another group for young Republicans is in hot water over revelations that its members have engaged in antisemitic activity.

The University of Florida disbanded its College Republicans chapter over the weekend following social media posts in which two members reportedly made Nazi salutes, among other actions. In response, the group sued the university, accusing administrators of violating its First Amendment rights. [...]

In a statement explaining its move to disband the group, UF said members of the College Republicans “engaged in a pattern of conduct that violated its rules and values, including a recent antisemitic gesture." Photos posted online by pro-Israel activists appeared to show members of the chapter flashing Nazi salutes, as well as posing with antisemitic influencers Nick Fuentes and Myron Gaines. Other reports of the leaked material describe group chats stating that Hitler “didn’t do enough."

The UF statement continued, “The University of Florida has emphatically supported its Jewish community and remains committed to preventing and addressing antisemitism and other forms of discrimination and harassment that are threatening and disruptive to our students and to the teaching, research and expressive activities of the campus community."

UF College Republicans had recently hosted James Fishback, a GOP gubernatorial candidate in the state who has embraced popular online antisemitic slang on the campaign trail. In its lawsuit and on X, the College Republicans group suggested the two events were linked.

[...] Fishback himself criticized the university for disbanding the group, likening it to the school’s decision to disband a pro-Palestinian group in the aftermath of the Oct. 7, 2023 Hamas attacks.

“It is disgraceful for Florida’s taxpayer-funded universities to punish student groups for their protected speech," he wrote. “In 2023, it was Students for Justice in Palestine. Today, it’s College Republicans."

And then we wonder why any alleged conservatives in the USA as of today may not support efforts to bring down Iran. Without a doubt, these specific students are another product of the Tucker Carlson-influenced mindset, one that's undoubtably selling out to Islam even now. What can be done to mend the damage? It'll take ages, no doubt.

The Hamas terrorist organization is rebuilding in Gaza

Some experts are warning that, while the war against Iran and Lebanon continue, the Hamas has been exploiting that time in order to rebuild its grip on Gaza:

While Israel focuses on threats from Iran and the northern front, Hamas is quietly reconstructing its infrastructure and strengthening control over Gaza, according to security experts. Footage and intelligence reveal convoys guarded by armed operatives, tunnels being refurbished, and the organization reestablishing itself economically-raising concerns among residents near the Gaza border that warnings of Hamas’s collapse have been premature.

Raphael Hayon, who operates an independent intelligence center from his home in Netivot, says he identified signs of distress and preparations for raids even before the October ceasefire. In an interview with Alon Sharvit on Kan News, Hayon warns that Hamas is undergoing a rapid reconstruction process.

He cites recent videos showing convoys of trucks entering Gaza, guarded by armed Hamas operatives. The footage illustrates Hamas’s full control over civilian areas up to the “yellow line," with personnel carrying light weapons and RPGs directing movement and setting the agenda on Gaza’s streets.

The Israeli authorities have been allowing truck convoys into Gaza without any inspection? I don't know, but if that's even remotely the case, it shows how security continues to be a serious fiasco, as is the way the Hamas is allowed to continue trying to reorganize. The IDF will have to prove they can act upon this info.

Zohran Mamdani's wife is just as bad as he is

It's been reported that the wife of New York City's first Muslim mayor was involved in anti-Israeli activities, among other things just as repugnant as what he upholds:

Despite New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani’s repeated attempts to shield his wife from public scrutiny by labeling her a “private person,” a series of bombshell revelations has exposed first lady Rama Duwaji as being involved in a radical Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) campaign.

Duwaji, a professional illustrator, is under fire for providing the creative backdrop for the DSA’s “Palestine on the Ballot” initiative — a project that used Duwaji’s animations to mobilize voters against candidates backed by the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC) and promote legislation targeting Jewish charities.

The campaign also highlighted the “Not on Our Dime Act,” a controversial bill originally sponsored by Mamdani during his time in the New York State Assembly, which would target certain nonprofits accused of supporting Israeli settlements.

Critics argue Duwaji’s “behind-the-scenes” role is a facade.

“Does anybody believe she’s a private citizen?” asked Dov Hikind, founder of Americans Against Antisemitism. Hikind characterized the first lady as even more radical than the mayor, calling the couple “two peas in a pod” united by “vile hatred” for Israel.

The DSA collaboration is only the latest in a mounting pile of evidence regarding Duwaji’s radical leanings. Reports have surfaced showing that she used her social media accounts to endorse extreme, anti-Semitic rhetoric, including content that framed terrorist violence in supportive terms.

Duwaji reportedly “liked” Instagram posts on the day of the Hamas massacre that featured live-streamed footage of terrorists breaching the Gaza border and commandeering Israel Defense Forces vehicles. One post she approved of hailed the attack as “breaking the walls of apartheid.”

More recently, Duwaji liked a post that dismissed the documented mass rapes of Israeli women during the October 7 attacks as a “mass hoax” fabricated by the media.

Duwaji has also been credited with providing lead graphics for an essay by Susan Abulhawa, an activist who has described Jewish people as “vampires,” “demons,” and “rootless ghouls.”

The revelation of Duwaji’s involvement with the DSA belies Mayor Mamdani’s efforts to present a more moderate front. While Mamdani’s office issued a standard statement condemning Hamas as a terrorist organization, his wife’s digital trail suggests a much darker affinity for the “resistance” that her husband publicly critiques.

No doubt, she tries to do a lot of the stuff he might hold his cards closer to his chest about. Of course, when Mamdani himself talks about "globalizing the intifada", that's very telling too. Just another example of how NYC's become hopeless these days.
