Martyr Abu Ali Mustafa Brigades mourn the great martyr, Commander Saeed Izadi – “Hajj Ramadan,” Bearer of the banner of Palestine and head of its portfolio in the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps.

Martyr Abu Ali Mustafa Brigades, the military wing of the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine, mourn to the masses of our Palestinian people, our Arab and Islamic Ummah, the free people of the world, and the entire Axis of Resistance, the martyr Commander Saeed Izadi (Hajj Ramadan)—the bearer of Palestine’s banner and its portfolio chief within the IRGC—who ascended as a martyr on the path to Al-Quds in a treacherous Zionist assassination while carrying out his sacred duty in service of the Ummah’s causes, foremost among them: Palestine.

The martyr commander was one of the most prominent security leaders within the IRGC and among the most ardent believers in the justice and centrality of the Palestinian cause. He dedicated his life, position, and very being to the service of the resistance project and the development of its capabilities on every level.

Hajj Saeed Izadi was a steadfast and essential supporter of the development of the military arms of the Palestinian resistance factions. He directly coordinated efforts and meetings with resistance leaders and oversaw the training of generations of Palestinian fighters across multiple fields.

He was, in every sense, a man of the shadows and the field—a figure who believed that supporting Palestine was a doctrinal, revolutionary, and strategic obligation.

As we in Martyr Abu Ali Mustafa Brigades bid farewell to a great brother and a loyal friend to Palestine, we affirm that this tremendous loss only deepens our loyalty to the martyrs and our resolve to continue along the path they walked.

We extend our heartfelt condolences to the leadership of the Islamic Republic of Iran, the leadership of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, the family of the martyr, and his comrades-in-arms. We also salute with pride and gratitude the dear Iranian people, who have never hesitated in their support for Palestine and the oppressed throughout this Ummah.

Palestine and the resistance shall never forget this great commander, whose soul was bound to Al-Quds, whose efforts were aimed at dismantling the Zionist entity, and whose positions served as a solid bridge between Palestinian blood and the revolutionary Iranian will.

Glory and eternity to the martyr commander, Hajj Ramadan. Glory to the martyrs of the resistance across every land. Victory to our people and our resistance until liberation and return. And tomorrow, the fog shall lift from the hills. Indeed, we shall surely be victorious.

Hindu Fascist meltdown over Zohran on

Two of the special guests present at this year's annual World Economic Forum's "Summer Davos" in Tianjin, China, were Kissinger protégé Graham Allison, and war criminal Tony Blair.

IAEA chief Grossi gave an interview on French radio today, link here. What I find most interesting is this statement:

Yes, and the knowledge we have of the facilities and capabilities, for example. I'll give you an example: Fordow, the major underground facility that everyone's talking about. It's almost like a movie script. We've seen the images of the perforations from these high-penetration bombs. Obviously, we can't assess the degree of damage. But given the power of these devices and the technical characteristics of a centrifuge, we already know that these centrifuges are no longer operational, because they are fairly precise machines: there are rotors, the vibrations have completely destroyed them. There couldn't have been any nonsense about significant physical damage. So, we can draw a fairly precise technical conclusion. I know the Fordo facility. It's a network of tunnels where different types of activities took place. I can also tell you that what we saw in the images and analyzed more or less corresponds to the enrichment hall.

So that's all the centrifuges at both Fordow and Natanz gone according to the IAEA. Over 15 000 of them were in active operation, 13 000 at Natanz and 2000 at Fordow, with Fordow being especially costly as the advanced IR-6 centrifuges were located there. So the blast pressure and overpressure through the ventilation shafts directly into the enrichment halls destroyed the centrifuges, according to Grossi. Also pretty clear why Iran no longer want to co operate with the IAEA.

The 5% GDP military spending thing is really insane, probably just trump doing his classic hard-sell tactic again, because at that point you're really just spending money for spending money's sake.

Just note that when Portugal was fighting a 3 front colonial war its military spending peaked at 4.5% in 1968
