💢 "Operation King" - exposed early and completely foiled by the IRGC

Hussein Murtada writes for Al-Binaa:

"Recent security data reveals the thwarting of what has been dubbed "Operation King," a large-scale opposition project that had been in development for several years with the aim of shaping the post-Islamic Republic era in Iran, supported and directed from abroad. Information indicates that Iranian security services were able to detect this project from its earliest stages, allowing them to track its threads and uncover its networks before it reached the implementation phase.

At the forefront of this operation is a woman named Nazanin Bradaran, a law graduate known within organizational circles by several aliases, including "Raha" and "Barham." According to the data, Bradaran played a pivotal role in building the project's political structure, as she was responsible for drafting a constitution for the post-regime era. This constitution was intended to be presented later as a political front and a prominent figurehead during the transitional period of chaos.

The information also indicates that Bradaran received direct guidance while residing in the United States from Adam Lovenger, an intelligence officer in the US Department of Defense who previously participated in drafting the Iraqi constitution and is considered one of the most prominent figures involved in the "maximum pressure" campaign against Iran. After finalizing the draft constitution, the organization took an unprecedented step: publicly announcing channels of communication with the Zionist entity and organizing visits and meetings with Zionist officials to discuss scenarios for overthrowing the Iranian regime. According to reports, Reza Pahlavi participated in these activities, and a comprehensive strategic document was prepared, considered a roadmap for the operation. It was planned to be implemented between 2025 and early 2026, in parallel with efforts to gain international recognition for an alternative opposition government.

On the media front, a budget of approximately $500,000 was allocated to establish what was termed a "cyber army," aimed at distorting the image of the Islamic Republic and influencing public opinion both domestically and internationally. This was accompanied by political and media efforts to cultivate relationships with American and Zionist officials known for their hostile stances toward Iran.

According to security sources, these plans did not reach their final stages. The organization's activities and the movements of its members were closely monitored since early stages, as part of a strategy aimed at uncovering the entire network rather than partially disabling it. It is estimated that the next phase will reveal additional, highly significant information."

💢 Lavrov sums up Russian diplomacy in 2025

At a press conference reviewing Russian diplomacy over the past year, Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov outlined Moscow’s views on key global and regional developments:

🔹 If the West wants to talk to itself "by its own rules," that is its choice, but Russia will act on the basis of equality and principles

🔹 The goal of inflicting a strategic defeat on Russia is still on European leaders’ minds

🔹 The West seeks regime change in Iran

🔹 The US perpetrated a 'blatant armed invasion' of Venezuela and now threatens Cuba and other Latin American countries

🔹 Global rules have been swept aside and replaced with "might makes right" approach

🔹 Russia does not claim others' lawful rights and will not allow its own rights to be trampled

🔹 European leaders are seriously preparing for war with Russia

🔹 The need for a Palestinian state remains relevant, including in the context of US President Donald Trump's 'Peace Council' initiative

🔹 Russia has received concrete proposals on the 'Peace Council,' reflecting US recognition of the need for international cooperation

🔹 The EU again seeks to build a security framework against Russia, now involving Ukraine

🔹 Reaching agreement with current European leaders may be impossible

💢 IMF head advises Ukraine to get rid of electricity and heating subsidies... and roar like a lion every morning
   
Ukraine can become a European lion in terms of economic growth rates, but it should continue the necessary reforms, International Monetary Fund (IMF) Managing Director Kristalina Georgieva emphasized at a discussion of the project "Ukraine: On the Front Lines of the Future" organized by the Victor Pinchuk Foundation in Davos on the sidelines of the World Economic Forum.

"Electricity, heating are still subsidized… We know why the country does this, but we need to get rid of it. There is still work to be done in terms of the fiscal situation. Now we are considering how to make the distribution of the tax burden fairer. It is not easy, but it must be done," she said.
"I look back on the history of my country and I can tell you that it was very painful. After the euphoria of the disappearance of communism, came the harsh reality that economic recovery requires sacrifices. So this is the number one issue - unfinished business," the IMF head emphasized, recalling the experience of Bulgaria.

Then she gave the most useful advice to Ukrainians:

"You must believe in yourself like a lion. So get up in the morning and roar. Confidence matters. And I tell you from my own experience, the Bulgarian experience, that it will not be easy. But if you have this confidence and demonstrate it day after day, if you put aside internal disputes, if you bury corruption forever, of course you will succeed,"

Russian military destroys at least four 'Patriots' and HIMARS in two-three days

After Russia's special military operation (SMO) started, the "Patriot" suddenly turned into a "hypersonic killer", supposedly "shooting down" even Russian "Kinzhals" left and right. Military experts were puzzled by this "sudden success" after decades of embarrassing failures. However, the Russian military continues to obliterate these NATO-sourced weapons, including several HIMARS and "Patriots" in just a few days apart.
