I examine two election results that could sharpen the strategic pressure on Ukraine: AfD’s 38.3% result in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania, where Friedrich Merz’s CDU fell below the 5% parliamentary threshold, and United Russia’s new constitutional majority in the Duma. AfD leaders have said they would end support for Ukraine, restore relations with Moscow, and resume Russian gas purchases—making Germany’s political instability a major test for European cohesion.

I also look at Ukraine’s effort to build fuel storage in Hungary amid fears of winter strikes, plus the claimed 416 km/h Zorylet V5 interceptor drone. On the Russian side, I assess plans to expand carbon-fiber capacity that could support 28,000 additional Shahed-136-type airframes annually, alongside reported Dan-T missile production targets. The central question is whether Europe can sustain support for Ukraine while Russia further consolidates political power and military-industrial capacity.

Israel’s Defense Minister Israel Katz is warning that intelligence indicates Hamas may be planning further kidnappings of Israelis. Katz says that if another Israeli soldier or civilian is abducted, Gaza City’s residents would be ordered south and the city would face a major Israeli military response. Israel also says it will maintain its current position in Gaza until Hamas is eliminated and the Strip is disarmed. Joining ILTV to discuss the warning and what Palestinian messaging reveals about Hamas’s strategy is Itamar Marcus, Founder and Director of Palestinian Media Watch (PMW).

Russian soldiers on assault don't last long

Last week the CIA director said the average life expectancy for a Russian soldier on the battlefield is just 20-30 minutes. Which is crazy but also not true. I mean they don’t last long, especially once they’re pushed out on assault, which one Russian referred to as a one way trip, but even then, 20 minutes is a bit of a stretch.

• پشت پرده دیده‌شدن یوفوها در ایران
• احتمال نقش ترامپ و فناوری محرمانه آمریکا
• پیش‌بینی تکان‌دهنده درباره جنگ ایران و اسرائیل
• شلیک سلاح‌های هسته‌ای و ظهور گوی‌های نورانی در آسمان
• راز ظهور و ناپدیدشدن ناگهانی یوفوها
• فرضیه موجودات میان‌بُعدی به‌جای مسافران فضایی
• توضیح حیرت‌انگیز کارل سیگن درباره ابعاد بالاتر



اگر دوست داشتین از این کارها بیشتر انجام بشه از این لینک برای تولید، به کانال کمک مالی کنین: https://buymeacoffee.com/mutednews
یا اینکه به پی‌پال من واریز کنید:
https://bit.ly/3wTR2sM

خلاصه:
انتشار تصاویر عجیب از اشیای نورانی در آسمان ایران، بار دیگر بحث درباره یوفوها و فناوری‌های ناشناخته را داغ کرده است. برخی از این اشیا به‌شکل وی و برخی دیگر به‌صورت دایره‌ای دیده شده‌اند؛ بدون آنکه هنوز توضیح رسمی و قانع‌کننده‌ای درباره ماهیت آنها ارائه شده باشد. اما ماجرا زمانی جنجالی‌تر شد که این تصاویر به برنامه بنی جانسون رسید و تیم برچت، عضو مجلس نمایندگان آمریکا، احتمال داد آنچه در آسمان ایران دیده شده، یک پدیده واقعی باشد.
برچت می‌گوید با توجه به شرایط کنونی ایران، دشوار است تصور کنیم فردی صرفا برای سرگرمی چنین نمایشی ساخته باشد. با این حال، او احتمال دیگری را نیز مطرح می‌کند؛ اینکه شاید دونالد ترامپ با استفاده از یک فناوری محرمانه، جمهوری اسلامی را سردرگم کرده و می‌خواهد مقام‌های نظامی ایران مدام از خود بپرسند در آسمان کشورشان چه خبر است. احتمالی که یادآور پروژه «جنگ ستارگان» رونالد ریگان و جنگ روانی آمریکا علیه اتحاد جماهیر شوروی است.
در ادامه، پای پیش‌بینی تکان‌دهنده کریس بلدسو به میان می‌آید. او ادعا می‌کند سال‌ها پیش تصویری از آینده به او نشان داده شده بود که در آن، جنگ ایران و اسرائیل به نقطه‌ای بسیار خطرناک می‌رسد. بر اساس روایت بلدسو، پس از حمله شدید ایران، اسرائیل شش سلاح هسته‌ای شلیک می‌کند؛ چهار سلاح به سوی ایران و دو سلاح به سوی سوریه. درست در همان لحظه، آسمان از گوی‌های نورانی پر می‌شود و موجوداتی ناشناخته برای جلوگیری از ادامه فاجعه مداخله می‌کنند.
بلدسو می‌گوید این موجودات قصد نابودی انسان‌ها را ندارند و روایت ترسناکی که احتمالا درباره آنها ساخته خواهد شد، با واقعیت فاصله دارد. به گفته او، این پدیده‌ها می‌خواهند خود را آشکار کنند، اما گروه‌هایی تلاش می‌کنند آنها را به‌عنوان هیولاهایی خطرناک معرفی کنند.
اما اگر این اشیا واقعا وجود دارند، چرا فقط برای چند لحظه ظاهر می‌شوند، مسیرهایی غیرعادی را طی می‌کنند و سپس بدون باقی‌گذاشتن هیچ ردی ناپدید می‌شوند؟ یکی از فرضیه‌های مطرح این است که شاید با مسافرانی از سیاره‌ای دور روبه‌رو نباشیم، بلکه این موجودات از بُعدی دیگر وارد جهان ما می‌شوند.
کارل سیگن با مثال مشهور «سرزمین تخت» توضیح می‌دهد که ورود یک موجود متعلق به بُعدی بالاتر، از نگاه موجودات یک جهان محدودتر چگونه دیده خواهد شد. چنین موجودی ممکن است ناگهان از هیچ ظاهر شود، شکلش تغییر کند، از موانع بسته عبور کند و بعد بدون حرکت در هیچ مسیر قابل مشاهده‌ای ناپدید شود.
در برنامه «یوفوی ایران»، تصاویر دیده‌شده در آسمان ایران، احتمال نقش فناوری محرمانه آمریکا، پیش‌بینی هسته‌ای بلدسو و فرضیه موجودات میان‌بُعدی را کنار هم قرار می‌دهیم؛ روایتی میان جنگ، سیاست، اسناد پنهان و یکی از بزرگ‌ترین معماهای حل‌نشده جهان.

Ukraine appears to have opened a new front in its long-range strike campaign—not by abandoning attacks on oil refineries and the shadow fleet, but by expanding to Russia's logistics backbone.

I explain why repeated strikes on Wildberries distribution centers, oil depots, cargo ships, and military supply routes represent a coherent strategy designed to increase the cost of sustaining Russia's war effort. The discussion also covers the latest battlefield update, the appointment of Mykhailo Drapatyi as Ukraine's new Commander-in-Chief, and continued Ukrainian pressure on Russia's occupied logistics corridors.

It looks like ground operations are back on the table in Iran.
The United States just began a new wave of strikes against Iran, marking the sixth consecutive day of combat operations but there’s no indication a few more air strikes is going to force an Iranian surrender.
In turn, we have new reporting that President Trump is considering a few different options that would could really ratchet up the pressure.

- Chinese technology is helping Russia transform Iranian-designed Shahed drones into faster weapons increasingly similar to low-cost cruise missiles.

- Washington disrupts an alleged Chinese cyberespionage operation that targeted sensitive American agencies, including the Justice Department, NASA and the Federal Reserve.

- Switzerland considers stricter neutrality rules that could end peacetime cooperation with NATO and weaken Western sanctions against Russia.

This morning, Crimea has now declared widespread water shortages as they no longer have the ability to run the pumps to feed the water to local towns and villages. Russian authorities are trying to maintain order, but people have understandably begun to panic. Meanwhile, Ukraine struck and destroyed a large part of Crimea’s Sevastopol power plant which supplies 50% of the electricity to the entire peninsula as it seems that quick repairs are very unlikely. Meanwhile, Russian authorities have announced that mobile phone service is now being “rationed” in some cities in Crimea — further fueling fears that Putin may decide to turn off the internet to censor any growing civil unrest. Meanwhile in Iran, we have seen a new series of major strikes on Iran’s coast as U.S. Officials finalize plans to hit “strategic targets” far wider in scope than merely the Iranian coast.

U.S. Central Command says Navy divers and SEALs have cleared Iranian sea mines from the Strait of Hormuz shipping lanes after months of quiet work with joint air power overhead. CENTCOM reports nearly 1,500 commercial ships escorted and about 750 million barrels of oil moved while Iran’s own exports stay at zero under the U.S. blockade — even as the IRGC claims nothing moves without Tehran’s permission. Former F-15E and Thunderbird pilot Max Afterburner breaks down the command tape, the Apache tanker escort, the mine-warfare stack, and what the open lanes mean for U.S. Navy aviation and the Iran fight.

Iran has continued firing multiple lethal attacks against US forces and gulf state allies through the day with the US firing back, hitting Kish Island and several other targets long the Iranian coast. currently both sides are still going blow-for-blow in the entire region, and the US seems to be making progress in weakening Iran's maritime capabilities. Meanwhile Russia has conducted a live-fire exercise directly on the NATO border at Lake Peipus, with the Russian border guards firing directly at the Estonian border in the lake as they fired at moving targets on the surface. Estonian officials have voiced concern over this activity, as it is the first time in history that such a provocative exercise has ever been conducted like this on their border. Meanwhile Russia has been abandoned by the People's Republic of China, as they are now making plans to make good with a new Russian government once Putin is removed, and have also tried to fleece Russia on a natural gas pipeline, demanding that they get the gas from the pipeline as such a low value that Russia would actually be losing money if they agree to the deal. Ukraine has kept hammering the sea lanes near Crimea, resulting in the loss of many more tankers, bulk carriers, and an infamous Russian coast guard ship which was destroyed today on the Russian coast.
