    Here it is, the planned Trump-Class” Battleship. It’s projected to cost more than the largest aircraft carriers.

    USS Defiant: $20 Billion Trump-Class Battleship Costs More Than a Nuclear Ford-Class Aircraft Carrier

    The “Golden Fleet” initiative has introduced the Trump-class battleship, a 40,000-ton “missile barge” equipped with hypersonics and railguns. At $20 billion per vessel, the USS Defiant represents a massive investment in centralized naval power designed to outmatch peer adversaries through sheer mass and lethal “Golden Fleet” innovation.

    The idea that the Trump-class battleships would be “missile, bomb and drone magnets” is a real concern. They would not be able to patrol close to shore unthreatened. The Navy requires a distributed deployment approach that integrates weapon systems able to work with submarines and the other ships in the fleet.

    The Pentagon is calling for 20 to 25 Trump-class battleships without mentioning cost and feasibility.

    The tactics and techniques needed for the USS Defiant and its future sister ships have not been developed.

    Verify:
    Iran has struck the Dimona nuclear facility after Israel struck the Natanz nuclear facility.

    Verified: Yes — Iran has struck the area of Israel’s Dimona nuclear facility, and this was explicitly framed as retaliation for an earlier strike on Iran’s Natanz nuclear facility.
    🔍 What the evidence shows
    Multiple independent and mainstream outlets confirm the following sequence:
    1. Israel (and/or the U.S.) conducted a strike on Iran’s Natanz nuclear enrichment site
    – Reports describe a U.S.–Israel airstrike on Natanz earlier the same day.
    – Iranian state-linked sources framed this as an attack on their nuclear infrastructure.
    2. Iran retaliated by launching missiles at Dimona, the site of Israel’s main nuclear facility
    – Iran launched ballistic missiles at Dimona, injuring more than 20 people.
    – Israeli media confirmed missile impacts in Dimona, with 23 injured.
    – The attack was explicitly described as retaliation for the Natanz strike.
    – Iran publicly stated it was targeting the Dimona nuclear facility in response to Natanz.
    3. Additional confirmation from multiple outlets
    – Palestine Chronicle, Al Jazeera, and The Times of Israel all report Iranian missile strikes hitting Dimona or its vicinity, with injuries and structural damage.
    – Defence Security Asia reports Iran used hypersonic missiles near Dimona after the Natanz strike.

    🧭 Bottom line
    Yes — Iran struck the Dimona area, and the attack was explicitly framed as retaliation for the earlier strike on Natanz.
    The causal link is directly stated by Iranian officials and widely reported across multiple independent news sources.

    Well, Israel says it doesn’t have nukes, but what if this Dimona strike actually hit those non-existing nukes. If catastrophe happens in Israel due to this, who is to blame? Israel or Iran?

    ❗️🇮🇷💥🇮🇱🏴‍☠️ The aftermath of the strikes by two Iranian hypersonic missiles.

    400 people were injured, including 40 from a scientific center. Israel urgently dispatched medical helicopters and the army to deal with the aftermath.

    No mention of deaths, but people can make their own assumptions.

    Dimona nuclear facility. Iran sends the “message”. And it is a very clear one–Iran can hit it at will and considering Israel’s size … so you all get my drift. Let’s hope it doesn’t get to this but this shit can get very serious really fast.

    🇮🇷🇮🇱| Geolocating by OSINT acccounts suggest the Iranian missile hit a bomb shelter in Dimona.
    This likely suggests that Iran had intel that Israeli nuclear scientist possibly were using this bomb shelter, as it is only about 10km away from the Dimona nuclear facility.

    It seems odd that in Iranian media (Tasnim, Tehran Times) I couldn’t find any mention of last night’s missiles at Diego Garcia.

    But the mainstream media now has widespread coverage of the story about how “Europe is within Iran’s range.”

    DW.com
    Launch toward Diego Garcia shows Europe within Iran’s range

    The Times of Israel
    IDF chief: Campaign at ‘halfway’ stage; Iran’s missile fire at Diego Garcia shows ‘Berlin, Paris, Rome all within range

    🇮🇷⚔️🇮🇱 Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf, Iranian Parliament Speaker:

    If the Israeli regime cannot intercept missiles over the heavily protected Dimona area, it practically signals the start of a new phase of the conflict: Israel’s skies are undefended.

    As a result, it seems the time has come to implement the next pre-planned operations.

    Happy Nowruz to the people of Iran.

    US RETREATS/ABANDONMENT OF KEY STRATEGIC ZONES AND ASSETS:
    – The largest airbase in the Middle East
    – The most strategically important and busiest naval base in the Middle East, HQ of the US Fifth Fleet
    – Baghdad Green Zone, US embassy, possibly all of Iraq
    – The waters of the Persian Gulf
    – Half a dozen other large bases in Kuwait, UAE, Qatar, KSA

    Naval assets do not have freedom of movement and will have to increasingly travel vast distances to resupply. Even distant bases are under threat. Attack aircraft have to refuel multiple times to reach Iranian territory. Iran is systematically pushing the US out of the Middle East.

    Gotta wonder how Western politicians are sleeping, knowing full well they traded their souls for jew$ Convinced it was fat cat, easy time on traitor street until you retire as a geriatric from a job doing nothing. Pump the company line, collect a check, laugh at the peons. When they stare at the ceiling I hope they see the lampost they will soon be swinging from.

    Greater Israel:

    This Greater Israel project seems to be a little bit short of the required people to actually implement it.

    Israel may have had about 9 million people in 2025, but since the 12 Day War, about a half a million have since left for greener pastures.
    And after this 3 week and counting war, likely even more people will want to leave.

    So, it is fine and dandy to grab more land, but you need people to settle and defend what you just stole.

    The one thing we do know, is the Israelis don’t want any natives left on their lands.

    Reparations:

    Iran supposedly wants to extract reparations from any oil leaving the Gulf to help pay for their war damage.

    However, don’t you think all the other Gulf oil exporting nations will also want to do the same thing too?

    So, one way or another, the whole world will end up paying for the war damage.
    Most like through higher oil and gas prices.

    However, expect new pipelines to be built, just to avoid having to pay any reparations.

    3 Fighter Planes Lost:

    Losing only just 3 fighter planes after 3 weeks of very high and intense sortie rates, is pretty amazing!

    Considering the air miles being flown, that probably nearly equals the plane losses expected during regular peacetime training accidents.

    Of course, there have been other planes losses, most hit ŵhile on the ground.

    (translated from Persian)

    Regarding Iran’s six conditions, he said Iran has set 6 basic conditions for stopping the war within the new strategic legal framework;

    Iran’s demands are first to ensure that the war is not repeated.

    Second, the closure of U.S. military bases in the region.

    The official added that the third demand is to repel aggression and pay compensation to Iran,

    and the fourth demand is to end the war on all regional fronts.

    He emphasized that Iran’s fifth demand is to impose a new legal regime on the Strait of Hormuz;

    Iran’s sixth demand is to prosecute and extradite anti-Iranian media agents
