Good morning.
With the addition of 4 tankers out of New Jersey, there are now at least 32 tankers observed in the overnight group.
A considerable portion went to Morón Air Base in Spain, with others on to UK, Germany, Italy and 1 to Estonia. A few pressed on to CENTCOM AOR.

In response to IAEA: Iran orders launching a new enrichment center at "a secure location" & replacement of IR-1 centrifuges with advanced IR-6 ones at Fordow underground nuclear facility.
The U.S. Ambassador to Israel says the United States no longer supports a two-state solution. When asked to comment, the U.S. State Department can’t say whether that’s actually U.S. policy and suggests asking the White House instead.

A run through the campaign might be in the cards
There is zero pressure on Russia to do anything but continue the war.

**Operation Spiders Web**
I resisted a hot take. So, on sober reflection…
Op Spiderweb was one of the most impressive, and strategic attacks ever. Short thread 🧵 #russia #Ukraine
NEW: Kremlin officials and the Russian Ministry of Defense announced on June 8 that Russian forces reached the Donetsk-Dnipropetrovsk Oblast border and are conducting offensive operations into Dnipropetrovsk Oblast — an oblast that Russia has not illegally declared as annexed. isw.pub/UkrWar060825
Alert: Up to 600 drones are expected over Ukraine tonight, primarily approaching from the north, with potential launches from multiple directions, monitoring sources report.

Speaking of children in a park who just need to fight it out…
AI generated “satellite image” slop is becoming a real problem and spreading like wildfire.
This will become the “video game footage” of 2025 and is even harder for the average person to notice.
The details are more important than ever to noticing these fakes.
⚡️ Trump privately praises Ukraine's drone strike on Russian bombers as 'badass,' Axios reports.
While U.S. President Donald Trump has remained silent in public about the attack, he reportedly expressed enthusiasm behind closed doors.
Incredible results from a historic operation.

This operation was extremely complex from a logistical point of view. The SBU first transported FPV drones to Russia, and later - mobile wooden houses.
My word
…
Wishful thinking

🧵 The CNN piece on Bongino and Patel is one of the clearest real-world examples of a key phenomenon in disordered discourse:
The agents who stoke it can become its victims, especially when their disordered discourse meets the reality of the institutions it captures.
