@DEFCON Warning System @RiffRaff @Irag8er @Sentry @Torch while this was planned. Always good to keep an eye on things like this. Mistakes and miscalculation are biggest risk here.
Iranian media ran a deterrence-framed piece built around a Khamenei quote contrasting the danger of aircraft carriers with the “more dangerous” weapons that can sink them.

In the event of a attack, the active Reporting and Discussion threads will be locked immediately and replacement threads will be created. Reminder: do not post real time photos/videos of U.S. or allied military movements. Delayed posting is safer and helps avoid unintentionally aiding hostile actors.
Wait at least minimally 24 hours before posting any videos of strike aftermath in Israel. 
Footage of any aftermath from Iranian strikes can be exploited by Iran to refine their targeting/accuracy for follow up attacks on Israel.
Israel’s Channel 13 reports White House spokesperson Karoline Leavitt said there are “many reasons” to strike Iran, but the US “prefers diplomacy,” and Iran would be “wise” to make a deal.
NOTE:
This is secondhand via Israeli media quoting US remarks.
Israel’s N12/Mako reports Israeli officials believe the timeline for a potential US strike on Iran is “shortening,” with Home Front and emergency services told to prepare for war and a likely Iranian long-range missile response. The report also cites OSINT flight tracking indicating US air assets (F-22, F-16, E-3, U-2) moving east via Europe.
Israel Hayom claims US intelligence assesses Iran is unlikely to show flexibility that meets US demands, and highlights continued US force buildup, including carrier posture in the region.
NOTE:
“US intel assessment” is an attributable media claim, not a primary US readout. Treat as narrative framing until corroborated by official US statements or documents.
Mehr (Arabic) reports Russian MFA spokesperson Maria Zakharova said “blackmail” will not succeed in negotiations with Iran, and that Russia is ready to help facilitate talks.
NOTE:
This is diplomatic signaling. It reflects Russia’s stated posture, not evidence of new mediation terms or commitments.
Mehr (Arabic) reports the ambassadors of Iran, Russia, and China to international organizations met IAEA Director General Rafael Grossi to discuss the Iranian nuclear file.
Israeli public broadcaster KAN cites an Israeli source saying Israel is at “high readiness” for a possible near term US strike on Iran, while noting Trump has not made a final decision (as far as is known).
NOTE:
Attribution is KAN citing an Israeli source. This is not a US government readout.
KAN reports the US conveyed Israel would receive “a few days” advance notice before any strike on Iran, and that US & Israel coordination is tightening.
NOTE:
This is KAN reporting, not a published US policy document. Treat as media attributed not official relay.
KAN cites an assessment that the carrier USS Gerald R. Ford could arrive earlier than expected, potentially at the start of next week.
