Russia is providing Iran with targeting intelligence on the locations of American warships and aircraft. Three US officials confirmed it. One called it a pretty comprehensive effort. Iran’s own ability to track American forces has been destroyed — so Russia is filling the gap. This is no longer Iran fighting alone. This is a nuclear-armed adversary feeding coordinates to a regime that has already killed six American soldiers. Hours before that story broke, President Trump posted two words no American president has used since 1945 — unconditional surrender. No deal with Iran except total capitulation. Then he added — Make Iran Great Again. MIGA. The White House confirmed the objectives: destroy the navy, eliminate the missile threat, guarantee no nuclear weapon, dismantle the proxies. Timeline: four to six more weeks. Defense contractors met with Trump at the White House today and agreed to quadruple production of advanced precision-guided munitions. Iranian ballistic missile attacks are down ninety percent. Drone attacks down eighty-three percent. Israel claims near-complete air superiority and has destroyed eighty percent of Iran’s air defenses. Oil hit ninety-one dollars a barrel — a twenty-four percent surge in one week. And the Strait of Hormuz remains closed.
