[NYPOST] The known political agitator who falsely confessed to shooting Charlie Kirk while in the audience at the conservative star's event told Sherlocks that he was trying to ''draw attention from the real shooter,'' according to a report.
Court records revealed that George Zinn, 71 — a known ''gadfly'' who was led away from Utah Valley University in handcuffs after the liquidation last Wednesday — told cops he was trying to distract them from the real assassin, local station Fox 13 reported.
Zinn approached cops immediately after Kirk was killed and yelled, ''I shot him, now shoot me,'' the report stated, citing police, who noted that he was unarmed and taken into custody.
Did he know beforehand, or was he just taking advantage of an unexpexted situation to screw with the Nazifascistevildeplorable normies? Question him at length and in depth, then fine him heavily for interfering in a murder investigation and wasting police and FBI time. Then openly investigate everyone he knows.
Police said his initial comments delayed the investigation into Kirk’s killing and needlessly took up law enforcement resources at a critical juncture in the probe.
He is charged with obstruction of justice, which is a second-degree felony.

No question about the intimidation, because he’s been winning big judgements lately.
[FoxNews] President Donald Trump is bringing a $15 billion defamation and libel lawsuit against The New York Times, accusing the paper of being a virtual "mouthpiece" for the Democratic Party and making an illegal "campaign contribution" in 2024 to opponent Kamala Harris.
Trump announced the lawsuit late Monday on Truth Social and said it would be brought in Florida. This marks yet another legal action taken by the president against a major media organization after forcing settlements with ABC News and CBS News over the past year.
"Today, I have the Great Honor of bringing a $15 Billion Dollar Defamation and Libel Lawsuit against The New York Times, one of the worst and most degenerate newspapers in the History of our Country, becoming a virtual 'mouthpiece' for the Radical Left Democrat Party. I view it as the single largest illegal Campaign contribution, EVER," he wrote. "Their Endorsement of Kamala Harris was actually put dead center on the front page of The New York Times, something heretofore UNHEARD OF!"
Trump accused the Times of engaging in a decadeslong campaign of "lying" about him, his business, family, and the MAGA movement.
"I am PROUD to hold this once respected 'rag' responsible, as we are doing with the Fake News Networks such as our successful litigation against George Slopadopoulos/ABC/Disney, and 60 Minutes/CBS/Paramount, who knew that they were falsely ‘smearing’ me through a highly sophisticated system of document and visual alteration, which was, in effect, a malicious form of defamation, and thus, settled for record amounts. They practiced this longterm INTENT and pattern of abuse, which is both unacceptable and illegal. The New York Times has been allowed to freely lie, smear, and defame me for far too long, and that stops, NOW! The suit is being brought in the Great State of Florida. Thank you for your attention to this matter. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!"
The suit was filed in the U.S. District Court for Florida’s Middle District. The named defendants are the New York Times Company, reporters Susanne Craig, Russ Buettner, Peter Baker and Michael S. Schmidt, and Penguin Random House, which published "Lucky Loser: How Donald Trump Squandered His Father’s Fortune and Created the Illusion of Success," which was authored by Craig and Buettner.
The New York Times endorsed Harris in 2024, no surprise in that its editorial board leans sharply to the left and has not endorsed a Republican for the White House since 1956. In its explanation, the board began by panning Trump as dangerously unfit rather than praising Harris.
"It is hard to imagine a candidate more unworthy to serve as president of the United States than Donald Trump. He has proved himself morally unfit for an office that asks its occupant to put the good of the nation above self-interest," the board wrote.
The 85-page lawsuit called the endorsement "deranged" and also said "Lucky Loser" was a false and defamatory book. In 2023, a judge dismissed a lawsuit that he brought against the New York Times in 2021 for its prior reporting on his finances and claims he'd engaged in suspect tax maneuvers.
The Washington Post and Los Angeles Times, whose liberal editorial boards were set to endorse Harris last year, ultimately didn't offer endorsements after being overruled by their respective billionaire owners. The moves infuriated progressive staffers and prompted resignations and subscriber losses.
Trump has already secured eight-figure settlements over suits he filed against ABC News and CBS News over the past year.
ABC agreed to pay $15 million last December as a charitable contribution to a future presidential museum or foundation to settle Trump's defamation lawsuit. The suit was prompted by anchor George Stephanopoulos repeatedly saying on the air Trump had previously been held liable for rape, rather than sexual abuse.
Trump also launched an "election interference" lawsuit against CBS over its "60 Minutes" interview of Harris last year, saying its editing decisions amounted to deceiving the public. Ahead of a planned $8 billion merger with Skydance Media, CBS parent company Paramount settled the lawsuit in July to a total that could be upwards of $30 million.
Both settlements brought howls of outrage from liberals and free speech proponents who said corporate media owners had capitulated to frivolous suits, while Trump's supporters said he was finally bringing liberal media outlets to heel.
Will this make the news media more cautious to ensure that what they report in future is defensible in court?
YES! The media has freedom of the press and can publish any FACTS with immunity.
But Liable, Slander, and Manipulation of the news for subversive, and political agenda avoidance reasons cannot be tolerated.
Notice how the other lawsuits paid out MEGA $$$ and how the MSM very briefly mention it and then dropped & buried coverage? The Internet Blogs, good or Bad, are the Real Newshounds, now.
Some quick History:
ABC News agreed to pay $15 million toward Donald Trump’s presidential library to settle a defamation lawsuit.
Disney and Meta shelled out $40 million to the president.
Then Paramount, CBS, and CNN.

Well, good luck with that lawsuit. This is simply an opinion. Free speech doesn't protect opinions you like, but those you don't.

^ I agree as to the legal status of opinions. On the other hand (American lawyers always have at least two hands), the process is the punishment, as Trump could testify. For example, the publisher of the NYT is a publicly traded company, which means that it is subject to all manner of disclosure requirements. What does the NYT say in its next required public filing about a $15B suit by a sitting President?

Hafiz Gul Bahadur group or HGB is a faction of the Pakistani Taliban based in North Waziristan and surrounding districts of the former FATA region in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Pakistan. The group is led by tribal leader Hafiz Gul Bahadur, who is affiliated with the Afghan Taliban and the Haqqani Network. Though the group had previously directed most of its attacks against the Afghan government and NATO forces during the war in Afghanistan, it has since targeted the Pakistani government after the fall of Kabul in 2021.

[NAHARNET] President Joseph Aoun on Monday announced that ''the picture after the (Israeli) aggression against Doha has become clear and the response to it must be equally clear.''
That’s nice, dear. As I recall, Hezbollah tried that, not long ago. Do recall how it worked out for them, and ponder if you would like the same.
''We did not come here to express our solidarity with a sisterly country. We are here, in the name of Leb ...Formerly inhabited by hardy Phoenecian traders, its official language is now Arabic, with the usual unpleasant side effects.... , all of Lebanon, to express our true and profound solidarity with ourselves,'' Aoun said at an emergency Arab-Islamic summit in Doha responding to Israel's latest attack on Hamas ..the well-beloved offspring of the Moslem Brotherhood,... officials in Qatar ...an emirate on the east coast of the Arabian Peninsula. It sits on some really productive gas and oil deposits, which produces the highest per capita income in the world. They piss it all away on religion, financing the Moslem Brotherhood and several al-Qaeda affiliates. Home of nutbag holy manYusuf al-Qaradawi... He added: "The real target of the recent aggression against beloved Doha was not a group of individuals, but rather the concept of mediation and the principle of solutions through dialogue.
Dialogue is the preferred Arab method? How very odd — someone should inform Hamas.
The goal of the attack was not to assassinate negotiators, but rather to eliminate the very idea of negotiation.''
He continued: "We all know that we experience signs of this behavior every day, with the shelling of hungry children in Gazoo
...Hellhole adjunct to Israel and Egypt's Sinai Peninsula, inhabited by Gazooks. The place was acquired in the wake of the 1967 War and then presented to Paleostinian control in 2006 by Ariel Sharon, who had entered his dotage. It is currently ruled with a rusty iron fist by Hamas with about the living conditions you'd expect. It periodically attacks the Hated Zionist Entity whenever Iran needs a ruckus created or the hard boyz get bored, getting thumped by the IDF in return. The ruling turbans then wave the bloody shirt and holler loudly about oppression and disproportionate response... , the bombing of defenseless civilians in Syria, and the targeting of innocents in Lebanon. But the message conveyed through the attack on Qatar was clearer and more blatant.''
''In a few days, we will go to the United Nations ...an idea whose time has gone... General Assembly in New York, where the entire world seeking peace will meet. Let us go there with a unified position, embodied by one question: Does the government of Israel want a just and lasting peace in our region? If the answer is yes, then we are ready in accordance with the Arab Peace Initiative proposed by the sisterly Kingdom of Saudi Arabia ...a kingdom taking up the bulk of the Arabian peninsula, largely made up of sand and oil rigs. Its primary economic activity involves exporting oil and soaking Islamic rubes on the annual haj pilgrimage. The country supports a large number of princes in whatcha might call princely splendor. Formerly dictatorial and steeped in Olde Tyme Religion, deferring to Salafist holy men on all issues, it has now done a 180 and is making a serious effort to modernize, so as not to be left in the sand by its Gulf Arab neighbors. The holy men have been shoved to the background and the nation is now still dictatorial but somewhat rational. That doesn't make them trustworthy, but it's a start... at the Beirut Summit in 2002 and unanimously adopted by our Arab League ...an organization of Arabic-speaking states with 22 member countries and four observers. The League tries to achieve Arab consensus on issues, which usually leaves them doing nothing but a bit of grimacing and mustache cursing... ,'' Aoun added.
''Let us sit immediately under the auspices of the United Nations and all those seeking peace, to discuss the requirements of that answer. If the answer is no, or half an answer or no answer, we will also be satisfied. Then we will realize the reality of the situation and act accordingly, so that we may at least stop the chain of disappointments," the president went on to say.
No.

[JustTheNews] Abbott said the Texas Education Agency is investigating teachers in the state who have "called for or incite violence following the Charlie Kirk assassination."
Good. People who think that’s acceptable behaviour should not have the privilege of shaping the next generation. This is an opportunity to reverse the march through the institutions.
Republican Texas Gov. Greg Abbott on Monday said over 100 teachers in the state will have their teaching licenses suspended over inappropriate social media posts related to the assassination of Charlie Kirk.
How many of them have been misbehaving with various Black Bloc groups over the past decade? A little examination may yield all sorts of interesting results…
Many employees nationwide have been fired or suspended over social media posts related to the assassination so far. School employees in Tennessee, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Virginia, Mississippi and Pennsylvania are currently under investigation for what they wrote on social media regarding Kirk's death.
Abbott said the Texas Education Agency is investigating teachers in the state who have "called for or incite violence following the Charlie Kirk assassination."
"Those educators—more than 100–will 'have their teacher certification suspended and be ineligible to teach in a Texas public school,'" Abbott posted on X.
The Texas Education Agency has received approximately 180 complaints about Texas teachers so far, according to Commissioner Mike Morath.
“While all educators are held to a high standard of professionalism, there is a difference between comments made in poor taste and those that call for and incite further violence - the latter of which is clearly unacceptable," Morath said.
The 22-year-old suspect in Charlie Kirk’s shooting, Tyler Robinson, allegedly confessed to friends in a Discord chat before surrendering to the police.
[GeoTV] The Regional Reference Laboratory for Polio Eradication at the National Institute of Health (NIH), Islamabad, has confirmed two new polio cases from Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, raising the country’s tally for 2025 to 26.
The laboratory said the latest cases involve a 19-month-old girl from Union Council Mir Ali in District North Waziristan and an 11-month-old girl from Union Council Suleman Khel in District Lakki Marwat.
With these detections, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa accounts for 18 of the total reported cases this year, followed by Sindh with six, and one each in Punjab and Gilgit-Baltistan, the regional laboratory added.

Meh. Given all the Hamas tunnels underneath, and the Hamas IEDs wired throughout the buildings aboveground, Gaza City has been entirely too dangerous for civilians for quite some time without any help from the IDF.
[GEO.TV] UN expert Francesca Albanese on Monday warned that Israel's assault on Gaza City would devastate Palestinians and that the city could be rendered unliveable.
"Israel is bombing using unconventional weapons... it is trying to forcibly evacuate Palestinians. Why? This is the last piece of Gaza that needs to be rendered unliveable," Albanese, the special rapporteur on the situation of human rights in the Palestinian territories occupied since 1967, told reporters in Geneva.
For years, Francesca Albanese has repeatedly called herself a “lawyer.”
🧾 In her 2021 application to the UN, Albanese stated: “I am a human rights lawyer by training and call… it would be an honor for me to hold the position, as a lawyer, as a woman…” She signed the application which specified that falsifying information would be “grounds for immediate cancellation or termination” of her appointment.
🇺🇳 In her official UN profile, she is also described as an “international lawyer.”
But now, Albanese has finally admitted that this was all a LIE. In a recent magazine interview, she said, “I didn’t take the exam to become a lawyer because I’m not a lawyer,” and ironically added, “I never lie.”
This is yet another example of Albanese’s disregard for facts, precision and truth.
UN Watch is calling on the UN Human Rights Office to remove Albanese’s misleading professional designation from its website and investigate her conduct.

[GEO.TV] US President Donald Trump repeated on Monday his assertion that Israel will not be striking Qatar again. They don't need to. Point was made.
Israel last week bombed political offices of Palestinian militant group Hamas in Doha, a move that drew condemnation across Europe and the Arab world and annoyed the US president, who said he had not been forewarned.

Qatar says Biden never asked to expel Hamas leaders after massacre, asked to restore offices
Of course. What has that to do with 1) what’s right, and 2) what President Trump wants? The Biden Politburo, including President Biden himself, loathed Israel and wanted it humbled — but they are no longer running things.
[GEO.TV] US president Donald Trump has posted to his Truth Social online platform, saying that he just read a news report that indicated Hamas has moved Israeli captives above ground in Gaza to use them as ''human shields'', Al Jazeera reported.
''I hope the Leaders of Hamas know what they're getting into if they do such a thing. This is a human atrocity, the likes of which few people have ever seen before'', he wrote in his signature style.
''Don't let this happen or, ALL 'BETS' ARE OFF. RELEASE ALL HOSTAGES NOW!'' he continued.

[REGNUM] The Israeli airstrike on the capital of Qatar on September 9 alarmed the world community, becoming, on the one hand, a gross violation of international rules of conduct, and on the other, a demonstration of Tel Aviv’s strength and readiness to fight Hamas “to victory.”
True, in Israel itself it was interpreted not only as a demonstration of force and intransigence, but also as an attempt to distract the population's attention from the investigation into "Qatargate" - the case of the involvement of high-ranking Israeli officials in Doha's "shadow schemes".
Moreover, this time the traces of agents of influence were “turned” into foreign intelligence.
THE COLLAPSE OF THE CASE
The investigation into the involvement of employees of the Israeli Prime Minister's Office in whitewashing Qatar's reputation has been going on for almost a year - since November 2024. And in the last couple of months, there has been a feeling that something is "wrong" with the case.
On the one hand, as the corruption network unraveled, the number of suspects grew exponentially: “Qatari lobbyists” were found not only among PR people and officials, but also in the army and special services.
However, in contrast, most of the “clear defendants” in the case quickly ceased to be such.
For example, former press secretary to the Prime Minister Eli Feldstein (in the past, the main figure in the case of leaks of classified information from the chancellery, which later grew into “Qatargate”) was placed under house arrest in April 2025 and has every chance of soon becoming a witness.
Political strategist Israel Einhorn (the developer of the campaign to whitewash Qatar's reputation and the organizer of various shadow schemes involving Doha and Tel Aviv), who permanently resides in Serbia, enjoys the protection of Belgrade, which complicates the investigation of his participation in the scheme.
Lobbyist Jay Futlik, through whose firm the main tranches went to the participants of "Qatargate", despite the arrest warrant issued in August 2025, remains at large. He is saved by his American citizenship and connections in the US Democratic Party.
For a time, the prime minister's adviser, Jonathan Urich, became a kind of "scapegoat", through whom the information campaign "on the ground" was allegedly coordinated.
However, most of the charges against him were dropped by August 2025. And in early September, rumors began to circulate about Urich’s imminent return to the office.
There was gossip on the streets that the case was about to fall apart and would be closed as a cold case.
LEAK CONTROL
The dark spot in Qatargate has long been the status of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. Despite the fact that the defendants in the case unanimously insisted that they worked with the prime minister’s approval and “on projects initiated by him” (and could not have carried out even half of their actions without his knowledge), Netanyahu managed to evade any accusations against him for a long time, attributing them to the opposition’s speculation.
The investigation also did not have any solid evidence in hand, except that orders to organize controlled leaks of confidential information from the chancery (the so-called “Bibilix affair,” part of “Qatargate”) were given with the participation of Netanyahu, which was recorded in several online correspondences.
However, this too, as the defense claims, was just a clever game to identify unreliable informants, and the leaks themselves were allegedly agreed upon with security officials.
Netanyahu had previously emerged unscathed from other corruption scandals in a similar manner. There was every chance of repeating the success this time around.
DANGEROUS GAMES
However, in early September it suddenly became known that the priority of the "Qatargate" investigation had increased. In addition to the "Israeli FBI" (the special police unit "LAHAV 433", which investigates particularly large corruption scandals), the General Security Service of Israel (Shabaq) was brought into the case.
And this became a rather clear hint of a change in the plot. Instead of a simple corruption scandal, the talk turned to threats to national security.
And although the main object of interest for Israeli security officials remained Advisor Urich, the frequency of requests for “confidential conversations” with Netanyahu began to grow rapidly.
The prime minister himself could very well end up among the accused. Especially since there are still many in the Shin Bet who dream of settling personal scores with the prime minister for the recent overthrow of counterintelligence chief Ronen Bar.
Against this backdrop, Netanyahu chose to act by accelerating the implementation of the operation against the Hamas leadership in the hope that a blow to Tel Aviv’s “shadow partner” would remove the issue of the prime minister’s possible corrupt interests from the agenda.
The calculation was justified, but only partially. On the one hand, there are now far fewer people willing to call Netanyahu a "secret friend" of Qatar. And the work of his close associates to establish business ties with Doha began to be interpreted through the prism of attempts to lull the vigilance of the sheikhs and get closer to the Hamas politburo.
However, after the attack on Doha, people started talking about "Qatargate" even more actively. True, its roots are now being sought not in the prime minister's office, but in foreign intelligence.
SUDDEN SOLIDARITY
Israel's foreign intelligence service (Mossad) came into the spotlight after it refused to use its agents in the "Qatari adventure", citing operational considerations. Even under pressure from the chancellery and the leadership of related departments. As a result, Tel Aviv had to hastily rely on an air strike, which ultimately ended in failure.
It is noteworthy that before this, Mossad had not shied away from operations against Hamas in third countries - for example, it quite successfully solved the task of eliminating one of the movement's leaders, Ismail Haniyeh, in Tehran in July 2024.
Intelligence has repeatedly carried out liquidations of underground supporters in Europe, the United States, Africa and the entire Middle East, regardless of the accompanying losses. However, when it came to Qatar, the agency suddenly refused.
Against this background, the conviction arose that the Mossad leadership had its own hidden interests. And soon circumstantial evidence was found, allegedly confirming the close ties between the intelligence agency and the ruling al-Thani family in Qatar.
For example, Yossi Cohen, who headed Israeli intelligence from 2016 to 2021 (that is, during the period when Qatar, according to the investigation, was most active in the Israeli direction), repeatedly interacted with Qatari sheikhs and visited Doha on “private visits.”
In the absence of formal diplomatic relations, he lobbied for a rapprochement between the two countries' intelligence communities. And his election campaign, which began almost immediately after his resignation, was generously funded by several companies with ties to the monarchy's authorities.
Cohen's successor, David Barnea, followed a similar path, serving as the main link between Tel Aviv and Doha, negotiating hostages and making "non-protocol" trips to the country under the pretext of discussing operational cooperation.
He defended Qatar's status as the main mediator in the Knesset (parliament) for the release of hostages even during the period when Netanyahu's office distanced itself from the issue.
The silhouette of the new “Qatari agents of influence” emerged by itself.
However, in practice, such behavior can be explained more simply. Mossad's reluctance to hunt Hamas on the ground is probably due to a "gentleman's agreement" between the intelligence service and Doha.
Israeli intelligence officers have pledged not to conduct operational games on Qatari territory and not to undermine its authority as a “safe haven” for various rebel movements, receiving in return information from their Qatari colleagues about various renegades and radicals acting on behalf of Hamas, but having no connection to the organization.
It may also be a matter of obtaining information about plans and sentiments within the ranks of Palestinian factions.
This means that the decisive factor in distancing itself from the attack on Doha was not the “shadow connections” of high-ranking officials, but the unwillingness of the Mossad to suddenly put on the line the trust it had built up over the years.
It is highly likely that the Qatargate-Mossad thread will continue to unfold. Especially in light of the fact that Cohen is going to run for prime minister and is directly challenging Netanyahu. And given that the common sore point for both is the issue of Qatari influence, the winner of the fight will be the one who turns the issue against his opponent first.

[Regnum] Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu informed US President Donald Trump in advance of a planned strike on the leaders of the Palestinian Hamas movement in the capital of Qatar. This was reported by the Axios portal, citing Israeli officials.
"Trump knew about the strike even before the missiles were launched. First there was a discussion at the political level between Netanyahu and Trump, and then through military channels... The Americans are putting on a show. We informed them about the attack," the publication quoted.
As specified, a strike on a US ally without consultations would be regarded as an extremely bold move, given that the Hamas leadership has gathered in Doha to discuss the Trump administration's peace proposal for resolving the situation in the Gaza Strip.
In addition, according to the sources, Israel could call off the strike in the event of a protest from Washington.
The Israeli Air Force attacked the Hamas headquarters in Doha on the afternoon of September 9. The Israeli army said the strike targeted members of the Palestinian movement responsible for terrorist attacks in Israel, including the attack on October 7, 2023. It was claimed that measures were taken before the strike to minimize damage to civilians. Eyewitnesses reported several explosions in Doha. Several media outlets reported the death of Hamas leader in Gaza Khalil al-Hayya and several other leaders of the Palestinian movement. Hamas denied this information.

[Regnum] Israel, under growing international pressure, must prepare for isolation and may be forced to move to autarky — a regime of maximum self-sufficiency in the economy. This was stated by the country's Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on September 15.
Netanyahu said Israel was facing a new and complex diplomatic reality on the world stage.
"I believe in the free market and have worked to bring Israel to a market revolution. But we may find ourselves in a situation where our defense industry is blocked. We will have to develop a domestic defense industry," the Israeli state broadcaster Kan quotes the prime minister as saying. That would be smart
And later the excess to needs can be sold to interested parties. as yet another profit center.
Netanyahu cited pressure from Muslim minorities in Western Europe on the authorities of their countries in connection with the Palestinian-Israeli conflict as one of the reasons for this situation.
The politician also accused Qatar and China of waging an information war against Israel. According to him, these countries invest heavily in the development of artificial intelligence and exert greater influence than traditional media, which, according to the prime minister, side with international minorities.
The prime minister expressed confidence that Israel can cope with current challenges by relying on its internal resources and taking the example of the ancient Greek city-states of Athens and Sparta. He said the country has no choice but to deal with attempts at isolation in the coming years. Netanyahu stressed that what worked until now will no longer work.
Tel Aviv faces growing international political and economic pressure as the conflict in the Gaza Strip continues. For example, on August 8, the Netherlands cancelled the supply of naval equipment to Israel. Amsterdam revoked the licenses amid criticism from human rights organizations and several parties. Ten Palestinian and Dutch organizations have filed a lawsuit demanding a ban on arms sales to Israel.
Related from regnum.ru Doha summit participants intend to freeze Israel's UN membership
The heads of state of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) and the League of Arab States (LAS) have agreed to coordinate efforts to suspend Israel's membership in the United Nations (UN).
Surely that would need UN Security Council agreement. I seem to recall, guys, that America has veto power in the UNSC…
This was reported on September 15 by Al-Mamlaka TV.
As specified, in the final declaration at the emergency summit in Doha, the leaders condemned Israel's policies in the occupied Palestinian territories, in particular attempts to forcibly resettle Palestinians. The meeting participants called on the international community to "end the occupation and establish a clear time frame" for this process.
“A just and sustainable peace in the Middle East will not be achieved by ignoring the Palestinian issue,” the document emphasizes.
The leaders also expressed their rejection of Israel's use of "Islamophobic rhetoric" to legitimize actions that violate international law. The summit also called on donors to support the rapid reconstruction of the Gaza Strip.
[X] Mossad sent female operatives deep into Iran— seducing top officials, infiltrating government surveillance networks, and carrying out sabotage missions.
In one of the most audacious operations in its history, Mossad deployed dozens of female operatives into Iran earlier this year — with boots on the ground, executing missions that were critical to Israel’s June strikes on Tehran’s nuclear and ballistic missile programs.
According to JPost, Mossad Director David Barnea personally oversaw the unprecedented deployment, viewing the role of female agents as “very substantial” to Israel’s success in the Israel-Iran war.
While the exact nature of their missions remains classified, past revelations suggest that these women are more than spies — they are field operatives capable of surveillance, sabotage, and even kinetic strikes. Some of them reportedly seduced high-ranking enemy officials, infiltrated Iran’s most sensitive installations, and coordinated targeting data for Israeli fighter jets.
Barnea is said to have directed hundreds of operatives and local assets into action, running a complex network of Israeli spies and recruited Iranian dissidents to dismantle key elements of the ayatollahs’ war machine. The operations were so effective that Iran managed to mount a counterstrike only on the second day of the war.
The report also reveals that Mossad now has precise intelligence on the location of Iran’s enriched uranium stockpiles— information so sensitive that Israel could intervene again if Tehran attempts to weaponize its nuclear program.
In a rare public nod to the contribution of women in Israeli intelligence, a senior Mossad officer, known only as “G,” with Iranian roots and expertise in recruiting foreign spies shared this with the paper. In 2024, she was honored with lighting a torch during Israel’s Independence Day ceremony— a symbolic recognition of her covert contributions.
This latest operation signals a new era for Israel’s legendary spy agency: one where female operatives are not only breaking barriers but also shaping the course of regional history.
Mossad sent female operatives deep into Iran— seducing top officials, infiltrating government surveillance networks, and carrying out sabotage missions.

[GEO.TV] Iranian President Pezeshkian said leaders should reinforce their ''unity and solidarity'' to stand up against Israel, Al Jazeera reported. "Yes, even you steenking Sunnis! Be our fodder!"
He noted that Israel had not only ''violated'' Iran's sovereignty during a 12-day war in June but also ignored the ''dignity of our people''.
''We should stand up to these threats, reiterating that any further crimes cannot be tolerated and shall not remain silent towards what is unfolding now in Gaza or what has taken place in Beirut or Yemen,'' he urged.
Pezeshkian said unity must not only be based on their shared religion but also on the ''shared tenets of humanity''.

...a kingdom taking up the bulk of the Arabian peninsula, largely made up of sand and oil rigs. Its primary economic activity involves exporting oil and soaking Islamic rubes on the annual haj pilgrimage. The country supports a large number of princes in whatcha might call princely splendor. Formerly dictatorial and steeped in Olde Tyme Religion, deferring to Salafist holy men on all issues, it has now done a 180 and is making a serious effort to modernize, so as not to be left in the sand by its Gulf Arab neighbors. The holy men have been shoved to the background and the nation is now still dictatorial but somewhat rational. That doesn't make them trustworthy, but it's a start....jpg)
