Russia's Lavrov warns against any new US strike on Iran
Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov, in an interview made public on Wednesday, said that any new U.S. strike on Iran would have serious consequences and called for restraint to find a solution to enable Iran to pursue a peaceful nuclear programme.www.reuters.com
It's ironic to hear that perspective given Russia's track record of state-sponsored violence and terror.

Netanyahu must have some proper dirt on Trump to get him to commit to this.

It seems if there’s one thing the Russians are consistently not afraid of, it’s being giant hypocrites.
It's about the economy I read last night. Forgot to post it.

This is borderline antisemitic - it's the old "Jews run the world" trope.

My personal opinion: no.
No. But. I can't entirely rule out regional nuclear/radiological use, by Iran or Israel if things really go sideways. But a lot, a awful lot would have to happen to get there.

Really? Lindsey didn't dispute it. Sure it isn't america bending over for israel trope? Money talks! Agree Jews don't run the world. To be honest i don't remember reports saying netanyahu visits Europe , Russia, China , Cuba, New Zealand, South america, India,Japan, Malaysia, Indonesia,Africa etc etc on a regular basis like America for example. And America obviously isn't the world , so absolutely positively
% Agreed.

If the balloon goes up and “IF” Iran has a usuable nuke, it would be their last one too!!!

Reading reports in the report thread I read that russia and iran were running navel drills in the straight and I thought china was going to be involved in those also. Were they? If they backed out, I think that is significant.

Probably not.
However, things could get increasingly tense and depending how much an Iran conflict ropes in the US, it might create advantageous opportunities for some countries to advance their timelines in other theaters (like China on Taiwan). North Korea could also get increasingly belligerent or bolder, and the doctrines of both Koreas can cause rapid escalation.... There's also a degree of uncertainty as to how Iran might respond (do they have a nuke of some kind, are they crazy enough to use it, and how would that destabilize the region...)
There's nothing to worry much about yet but we do want to keep an eye on the situation. I think that's why @DEFCON Warning System moved to DEFCON 4 as Iran destabilized in January. Keep an eye on this site; there's excellent reporting here from many members and great analysis from the staff.

Kinda late for the party
EU Council says it formally added Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) to the EU terrorist list on 19 Feb 2026, following a Foreign Affairs Council political agreement on 29 Jan. Council says the listing triggers EU counterterrorism restrictive measures, including asset freezes in EU member states and a ban on EU operators making funds or economic resources available to the IRGC. Council says the EU terrorist list now covers 13 persons and 23 groups/entities.

At least they recognized there is a party ...
Anybody: what is the original posters source?
It looks correct, but it would be great to prove it so we can use the list utterly without error.
