Interesting but (like most of the IDF's intel on alleged Hezbollah sites) almost impossible to indepently verify using open source.

Our intelligence can reveal that Hezbollah has built a weapons warehouse just 25 meters from a school in the village of Ebba, Lebanon.
This endangers the lives of 300 children who attend the school.
Hezbollah doesn't want you to RT this,
but these innocent children need you to

Thought the somewhat lackluster unveiling of Germany's new space command today needed some Iranian-style editing.

Nochmal: Die Bedrohungen sind real. Auch im Weltraum gilt es deshalb unsere Sicherheit zu verteidigen. Mit unserem neuen #Weltraumkommando können wir Satelliten überwachen oder gefährlichen Weltraumschrott beobachten. Das ist in einer digitalisierten Welt wichtig.

Just in case you need this teaser of the new Russian light fighter jet, as the official website for the grand reveal next week is very sad (checkmate.uacrussia.ru).
Note the 'team': UAE, India, Vietnam, Argentina.

Saw that guy in real life making his bear do tricks and the bear was screaming in pain. Then it attacked a guy in the audience. 😕

For some reason, this sort of stuff (people "befriending" bears, lions, tigers,..) mostly happens in countries from Central Asia and the Caucasus.

The test stand area of the facility has seen quite a bit of expansion in recent years, indicating Iran is serious about its jet engine development/reverse-engineering efforts.

Confidence isn’t 100% but I think I geolocated Iran’s new solid propellant plant inaugurated back in February. Quick thread going through the data points.

It’s been more than 24 hours that Ali Al-Mikdam has disappeared in Baghdad. He is an outspoken journalist & activist who participated actively in Iraq’s 2019 protests.
In our latest documentary, Ali openly blamed Iran-backed groups for the killing of Iraqi protesters & activists.

As opposed to initial reports no fire has been found. Source of loud 💥 not clear.
Few points clear:
Story reported with 0 amount of transparency ( use of fake video in first announcement, calling the source of 💥 unknown, random pictures of police looking for the "source") 1/

This will be interesting. Izvestia reports that Russia will conduct a series of exercises this year to test its "superweapons" based on new physical principles as part of combat scenarios. Seems likely we will see some used as part of the Zapad exercise.

Very interesting development. The Al-Tariq is produced by a joint venture between Denel Dynamics and EDGE Group of the UAE, and is derived from the Denel Dynamics Umbani PGM kit originally developed under a technology contract from the South African Air Force.
