BREAKING: The US appears to have abandoned its naval blockade line against Iran, pulling its aircraft carriers off it entirely after Iran's first use of anti-ship ballistic missiles against a carrier. The warships have not been located in the CENTCOM area on Sentinel-2 satellite imagery since the beginning of September, including the USS George H.W. Bush, the USS George Washington, the amphibious assault ship USS Boxer and even their escorting destroyers. The finding suggests the US has pulled back beyond the range of Iranian anti-ship missiles from a blockade line that until August sat at the exit of the Gulf of Oman. The pullback was likely prompted by Iran's first use of anti-ship ballistic missiles against a US carrier on the night of September 5 with the Qasem Basir, which has a range of about 1,200 km and covers almost the entire Arabian Sea. Iran said on September 12 that not a single US warship remains in the Persian Gulf, down from around 30 before the attack, with all US vessels holding at least 400 km off the Iranian coast. Iran's SNSC chief Rezaei said the Qasem Basir "created hell for the Americans, and they fled." Independent imagery had not supported that withdrawal until now.

🚨🚨🚨Yulia Mendel KILLED Zelensky 🚨EX-ZELENSKY PRESS SEC: Zelensky DECLINED FRONT-LINE DUTY 4 TIMES — now ‘GRABBING men on street and sending them forcefully to front line’ 🚨TUCKER: ‘None of people pushing this war putting their OWN lives at risk’ 🚨MENDEL: ‘When Zelensky was NOT president, he was invited to join front line in Donbass for 4 TIMES…he DECLINED… far from Churchill that he is compared to’ 📑Well, how many professors in the United States are serving on the front lines of the Ukraine war? How many neoconservative think tank employees are doing that? Is, Zelensky volunteering to go fight his own war? Of course not. None of the people pushing this war are putting their own lives at risk. They're destroying an entire population for money, popularity, power, but none of them are willing to die for it. Other people die for it. 🚨If I may add, when Zelensky was not the president, he was invited to join the front line in Donbas for four times, and he did not do that. 🚨He declined. He avoided conscription, and now he is grabbing men on the street and sending them forcefully to the front line. It's ... Wait, Zelensky ... it's still relevant ... himself avoided conscription? 🚨Four times, yes. 🚨This is public information in Ukraine. So he's very far from Churchill that he's compared to. And there is another story. You know, I come from mainstream media. I respect my colleagues who work there. 🚨But I had this very strange experience when I wanted to publish an article about peace, and I sent it to a very famous American media, and they declined, of course, without any explanation. I didn't have any attack on Zelensky there. You may still read it online. You know, there was nothing political. There was just a Gallup poll that was saying that majority of Ukrainians wanted peace, and there were argumentation why we needed to have either ceasefire or peace because we were, we were just declining, degrading as a nation. So I was declined to publish that piece, and, in same time, I saw how the same media published a London professor who actually was justifying this war because he was saying how Russia is suffering without mentioning how Ukraine was suffering, how much we were losing, you know, how many people we were losing. So I just Googled if this professor has ever been to Russia or to Ukraine, and I was shocked to know that no, he has never been to any of these countries. He just gets his information from, social media, and, um, that's how he has, you know, some kind of imagination in his head of what's going on, and he produces this to your people. And so your people believe that this war has any kind of justification. What I understood after Zelensky convinced Western partners to have escalation of this war is that in the West, many more people want Russia burn than Ukraine to be saved.

The Pentagon quietly added 29 Navy sailors and eight Marines to the Iran war casualty count.

The people of the world deserve better than being ruled by a brutal empire that wages endless wars to loot their countries’ resources. The American people also deserve better than being constantly pitted against each other to ensure said empire is never challenged from within.

Europe faces waves of airspace violations and sabotage, but also a relentless stream of Russian disinformation. That is why the EU today sanctioned Xenia Fedorova. We're defending our information space against fabricated lies and deliberate manipulation. This is deterrence, not censorship. The EU will continue to counter Russia's destabilising activities.

Wow, even the Italian defence minister calls out the CIA report about Russian drone strikes as utter bs.

Patrick Henningsen goes ballistic on Jolani: Netanyahu could roll into Damascus and, just like Sharon in Beirut in 1982, sit down for tea in Bab Touma, and not a single shot would be fired by the Takfiri bearded wonders in their Toyota technicals. Brutal. .@21WIRE .@SyrianaAnalysis

WATCH: Israeli delegation went around the UN hall checking which delegations had left during Netanyahu's speech.
