๐จ Woke up to the news about Iran launching missile and drone salvos targeting US bases in Jordan.
Apparently, this is direct retaliation after those American strikes hit Larak Island. Jordanian air defenses managed to intercept multiple incoming projectiles near the border, but things are getting way too tense over there.

๐จ Just reading the latest updates on the ongoing clashes, and the IRGC is officially claiming responsibility for targeting US air facilities in Jordan with ballistic missiles.
CENTCOM and local sources say most of them were shot down successfully, but the fact that these bases keep getting dragged into the crossfire is wild. It feels like every week brings a new cycle of escalation between Washington and Tehran.

The two leaders convened on the sidelines to reinforce their strategic alliance and present a unified front challenging Western global influence.
Key areas of their multi-hour session included advancing the proposed Power of Siberia 2 gas pipeline, accelerating local currency trade settlements to bypass Western financial systems, and solidifying their joint vision for an expanded multipolar global architecture.
I heard Putin wrote Xi 27 beautiful love letters as well...

"They have been ripping us off for decades, and it's going to stop. This should have happened long ago with other presidents, just as stopping Iran should have.
They want to be treated like a state, but they aren't one. I deal with the leadership of many countries, but I find Canada to be the worst. They are entitled no longer!"
Earlier in the post, Trump claimed credit for "one of the most profitable car plants in the world," Ford's "big factory" in Detroit, remaining open.
Trump is cutting Ottawa off... and repeating himself quite a bit as he does it ๐
