❗️Israeli minister calls for kidnapping of Lebanese women and children to break Hezbollah morale
Expand
Israeli National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir urged the political-security cabinet to abduct and imprison Lebanese women and children as a psychological warfare tactic against Hezbollah, according to a closed-door leak published by Hebrew news outlet Walla.
During a high-level ministerial meeting reviewing expanded military calculations, Ben-Gvir demanded that Tel Aviv abandon conventional strategy and explicitly target the social and familial core of the Lebanese resistance network.
“We must think outside the box regarding Hezbollah,” Ben-Gvir asserted to his fellow cabinet members, according to the report. The Israeli minister added that alongside occupying southern territory and intensifying lethal strikes on personnel, Israeli forces should actively round up civilians.
“We should arrest their women and children and take them to prison; this is what hurts them the most,” he stated.

I don’t understand how this lunatic still manages to surprise me with his depravity. This rat is genuinely one of the most contemltable creatures on the face of the earth. Like I genuinely have no person in my mind who I could say is more utterly vile.
it literally never had any sense of humanity in itself. This motherfucker deserves to be the first settler to be shot dead along with all zionazis globally.
I genuinely hope all zionist supporters are forced to watch the collapse of the zionist regime and the empire.
Gvir’s demise is going to be a happier day than Kissinger’s for me. I will genuinely throw a party and invite my whole family for it.
Same. Last month I told my cousin who is a potential leftist that empires don’t last forever. I hope we can get together to throw a little party and drink to the zionist collapse.
All my zionist family members will have to come to terms with the reality that the entity is collapsing.
I’m going to be taking a break today in a few hours for other obligations. Hopefully I’ve been able to keep everyone up to date since these ramped up.
Thanks, I use this community as a little mini search engine even when only one of you is posting.

❗️EU imposes sanctions over Strait of Hormuz closure, targets Iranian officials
Expand
The European Union has slapped sanctions on Iranian officials and an Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) command unit today, exposing Brussels’ lack of leverage as Washington’s aggression against Iran continues to choke off global energy corridors. With the strategic Strait of Hormuz effectively shut down due to the ongoing warfare, the 27-nation bloc has found itself largely frozen out of the geopolitical theater, reduced to deploying economic penalties while global markets face severe disruptions.
According to an official statement, the EU blacklisted Mohammad Akbarzadeh, a key political and media figure within the IRGC’s naval wing, alongside the corps’ Hormozgan Provincial Command, which oversees naval operations along the vital waterway. The bloc also targeted Hamid Hosseini, a representative of Iran’s oil exporters union, subjecting him to a asset freeze and travel bans in an attempt to penalize Tehran for exercising control over its territorial waters.
While the US-led war wreaks havoc on international supply chains, European capitals are scrambling to assemble a post-conflict response. Spearheaded by Paris and London, plans are underway to deploy a European naval mission to the Strait of Hormuz once active hostilities cease. EU foreign policy chief Kaja Kallas suggested that the bloc’s existing Aspides naval mission, currently deployed in the Red Sea, could eventually be reassigned to the strategic chokepoint to reassert a European maritime presence in the region.

I can always count on Europe to yap in the most irritating way imaginable on the world stage.

🇮🇷 IRAN TO MOVE SPACEX TO TARGET LIST!!
Iran is moving to add all Musk-linked assets in the Middle East including Starlink ground stations and SpaceX infrastructure to its military target list, per Fars. Sites in Israel, Qatar, Jordan, the UAE, and Oman reportedly under review.
SpaceX’s IPO is tomorrow.
Wall Street prices the offering hours after Tehran declares the company’s network a legitimate military target.

Good timing
Did they ever blow up those data centers they threatened right before the ceasefire? Cause if not… Sure would be nice of them to uphold that promise.
Did they ever blow up those data centers they threatened right before the ceasefire?
I’m pretty sure they did blow up quite a few of those.
Some Amazon data centers in Saudi Arabia were bombed lol
🚨 BREAKING PRESS RELEASE! American journalist Christopher Helali was on assignment heading to Mexico to cover the World Cup and meet the Iranian national team, Team Melli, based in Tijuana for the duration of the World Cup. Traveling from Moscow to Mexico City with a stop in Beijing on 10 June 2026, Christopher was informed by Chinese authorities upon landing in Beijing that he had to wait to get his new boarding pass. After 8 hours, Christopher was informed by Hainan Airlines staff that he was barred from traveling and was listed as a “no fly passenger.” Requesting follow up information, it became clear that Christopher was added by the United States government to the No Fly List which is maintained by the FBI’s Terrorist Screening Center. Christopher was formerly on the Selectee List, enduring nearly a decade of intensive secondary screening with the notorious 4 S’s (SSSS) on his boarding passes both to and from the United States and between countries that crossed US airspace.
This is an attack not only on journalistic freedom but on those who stand with Iran against the Epstein Coalition.
In a statement, Christopher reiterated his solidarity with Iran, Team Melli, and all those who stand for justice. “What was done to me is but a small part of the injustice people face all over the world everyday at the hands of US-EU-NATO imperialism, fascism, and Zionism,” he said. “Our struggle is for all those students at Minab, all the children of Lebanon, Gaza, Donbass, and beyond who were denied a future by these monsters. It is a crime that the USA is hosting the World Cup which celebrates the friendship and unity of sport. The USA has blood on its hands! The struggle continues!”

What a time to be alive
[2026-06-08] @s_s_marandi@twitter.com: In several interlinked operations in Sistan and Baluchestan province, Iran killed 5 terrorists from these 4 cells and arrested 19 other terrorists before they could carry out suicide attacks, assassinations, or create insecurity.

‘Foreign forces in proximity to our territory are at constant risk on account of their own human errors, plain accidents, or potentially being caught in crossfire.
To reduce risk, it is better for them [U.S. forces] to leave’

We prefer the language of diplomacy, but we speak other languages too.
Nice quote.
🇮🇷 Navy of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps:
Following repeated violations of the ceasefire conditions by the American enemy, the Strait of Hormuz will be closed until further notice.
We warn that no vessel should move from its anchorage in the Persian Gulf and the Sea of Oman. Approaching the Strait of Hormuz will be considered as cooperating with the enemy.

So is that economic depression on its way? There’s no way the empire can get away with market manipulations when it comes.

🇮🇷❌🇺🇸 BREAKING: Iran’s Khatam al-Anbiya Central HQ announces the full closure of the Strait of Hormuz:
From this moment, due to insecurity in the region, the Strait of Hormuz is declared closed for the passage of any type of vessel, including oil tankers and commercial ships, and any passage will be targeted.
Following the criminal aggressions of the American enemy and considering the start of attacks by its invading army on some areas in the south of Hormozgan province, from this moment, due to insecurity in the region, the Strait of Hormuz is declared closed for the passage of any type of vessel, including oil tankers and commercial ships, and any passage will be targeted.
The US claim regarding the passage of a ship through the mentioned strait is denied.

—❗️🇺🇸/🇮🇷 Iran to begin large scale naval mining of the Strait of Hormuz
Previously, only a very limited number of mines was deployed.
I hope they actually do it because Iran has been very held back after the ceasefire. Continued refusal to punch back hard when the Epstein empire bombs their water and energy infrastructure only projects weakness.
