The rapidly shrinking supply of air-defense missiles & other critical weaponry in Europe & Asia not only leaves the US #military less equipped, but could also leave #Russia & #China feeling emboldened should they contemplate a conflict with the US, experts said.

Nobody likes Iran's theocratic dictatorship.

But some of their many opponents are quite odd.

Yesterday I saw a large group of Iranians gatecrashing the Stockholm Pride parade. Known as "Royalists", they were waving pictures of the deposed Shah's son, a US flag, an Israeli flag, and lots of pre-1980 Iranian flags. Not an improvement, in my opinion.

Never doubt that the formerly “Left-leaning” Guardian newspaper has been largely neutralised by UK security services & is now a platform trusted by the security state to amplify its information operations!

Iran tracks US troops in Gulf using commercially available phone-location data

Turns out the nightmarish corporate digital panopticon Big Tech and the state are erecting around us isn’t all bad.

Telecoms data and worried ‘people familiar with the matter’ have told FT that Iran or pro-Iranian actors have been running a “coordinated campaign” to pinpoint the locations of phones belonging to US servicemen operating in roaming mode across the Middle East using commercial ad tools.

“Iran absolutely has capabilities to get real-time, immediate and continuous location information,” Citizen Lab research fellow Garry Miller said. “It would surprise me very much if Iran were not using SS7, or mobile network access in the region, to track US users.”

#Trump said Monday that he was reinstating the #US naval #blockade on #Iran ports, just over 3 weeks after ending a monthslong blockade.

Trump added that the US would begin charging #fees on ships transiting through the #StraitOfHormuz, claiming the US would levy a 20% fee “for any & all costs necessary” without elaborating on how it would work. In the social media post, he said the reinstated blockade would prevent “Iran’s ships or customers from entering or leaving.”
