Iran says it has seized two Greek tankers in Persian Gulf | News | DW

Greece protested what it called the “violent seizure” of two Greek-flagged ships in the Persian Gulf by Iran’s Revolutionary Guards on Friday. Earlier Friday, Greece said an Iranian helicopter landed on a Greek-flagged ship, the Delta Poseidon, in international waters some 22 nautical miles near to the coast of Iran. In a statement, the Greek Ministry of Foreign Affairs said, “Armed men then took…

[📹 Scenes of Iranian missiles flying into Israeli cities tonight after Iran launches a major combined drone and missile strike and several targets in occupied Palestine, coinciding with rockets launched from southern Lebanon.]

🇮🇷⚔️🇮🇱 🚀🚀🚀 🚨

IRAN LAUNCHES MASSIVE COMBINED MISSILE AND DRONE STRIKES ON ISRAEL, US INTERCEPTS OVER 100 DRONES

Israeli media is reporting the arrival of dozens of missiles and drones fired from Iran, most of which they claim were intercepted.

According to the Zionist media, while no one was killed in the Iranian strikes, at least one young girl was wounded by shrapnel from an intercepted drone and was taken to a nearby hospital.

Already, Israeli officials are calling for counterstrikes, while the American media refuses to acknowledge the attack on the consulate building of the Iranian embassy that led to the current round of attacks.

The strikes represented the first time Iran has launched direct strikes on "Israel".

Occupation authorities claim that none of drones launched by the Iranians made it through the occupation's air defenses, some missiles succeeded in hitting their targets, while at least 20 missiles never made it to the borders of occupied Palestine.

According to one Israeli official, more than 200 drones and missiles were fired into the occupied Palestinian territories in all.

For now, while the Biden administration continues to reaffirm public support for the Israeli occupation, privately, the President has told Netanyahu he won't back an Israeli counter to the counterstrikes.

the thing about andor season 1 being a moses arc is that cassian andor literally is moses. once you mention that moses’s rise to leader serves as scaffolding to almost every major character moment for cassian well you just can’t unsee it

#cassian andor #even the changes i'm still hmm on #his backstory is so extremely moses coded! there's a foreign woman who takes him from his culture and people and language #he might live because of it but his perpetual cycle of fleeing and exile and exodus starts as a child #she gives him a new name and takes his past #as an adult he kills the guard(s)#he flees into the wilderness #he becomes a shepherd (even if its just undercover)#his people are living in the house of slavery #he becomes a prisoner #he uses water- small and massive unthinkable amounts of flowing water- to lead an entire prison revolt #he ends up in exile and diaspora again and again #and the season ends with a miniature exodus of his comunity from ferrix with bix and brasso and jezzy and wilmon and b2emo #but on a meta level like: this entire season is cassian at the burning bush #he's a man with unclean lips who neither thinks himself worthy of being the hand of deliverance #nor does he think exodus is possible #like even that very meta arc change from dyed in the wool born revolutionary to good man in constant exile who finally turns and faces the #burning bush #that is MOSES coded. i don't know how to feel about those changes but i DO love the idea that #it's cassians' imperfections and time as an ordinary man among the people that give him the radical empathy and experience precisely to #/become/ this leader I OF UNCLEAN LIPS etc #also well does he ever reside in the promised land

If you've looked at my AO3 lately, you'll realize that I accidentally replaced all of my additional tags. If you can remember some or all of the additional tags on any particular fic of mine, I would appreciate it if you reminded me of them. I've rewritten the tags for roughly 80 of my 174 fics, but I know I've likely forgotten some of the tags on those fics.

Also, I'm sorry for the tag spam on this post. I'm tagging all of the fandoms that I've 1. written for and 2. accidentally replaced the tags on my fics for. Hopefully this reaches my readers. (That being said, if you've read my fic and don't remember the tags I used, don't worry about it.)

TPRG Ch.9: Training

Word Count: 1225

“Are you sure you still want to learn sword fighting, Princess? Either way, your father will still probably insist that we remain as your royal guard.” Sabo asked, holding 2 wooden swords as you pulled on a pair of leather gloves to help protect your hands from calluses.

“Yes I’m sure! I’ve been trying to learn how to sword fight since I was little, now that I don’t have some old hag hovering over me telling me what I can and can’t do, I’m going to learn! Besides, the only people who are going to know are the four of us. Are you going to go against my, the princess’s, orders and tell anyone?” you asked, giving him a hard look, making the blond want to chuckle. You might be the princess, but your attempts to intimidate him worked about as well as a kitten trying to hiss at a large dog.

“Alright, but don’t cry when you’re covered in bruises.” Ace said with a grin, taking one of the swords.

“I’m tougher than I look! You’ll have to try harder than that.” you challenged.

“Wait, I thought we weren’t actually fighting her today. You said we were just going to show her some of the basics to see where we needed to start.” Luffy protested, making both boys sigh in exasperation.

“Way to ruin the fun, Luffy. We were teasing her, making her think we were actually sword fighting today. An untrained princess against the 3 greatest knights in the kingdom? Of course she wouldn’t stand a chance, but we wanted to see her sweat a little.” Ace said, his shoulders sagging as he gave Luffy a displeased look.

“Well you failed, even without Luffy saying something, you’re not going to get me to panic that easily.” you said defiantly. Sabo chuckled as he handed the other wooden sword out to you, unable to help the smirk that crossed his lips. You were so different from other princesses and he loved it.

“I have better form and technique, Ace hits harder and is faster to strike, Luffy is chaotic and wild. This is how we’re going to train you. I’m going to show you the basics, show you techniques, the best ways to strike, all the official shit. Ace and I will both show you how to implement it, he’ll also show you how to think quickly. Luffy will teach you how to think on your feet, how to fight against an opponent you don’t expect.” Sabo explained as you nodded in understanding, “That being said, don’t think for a moment that I can’t strike quickly or that Luffy can’t show you some damned good techniques. These are just what we’re better at.” he added as you nodded again.

Breathing hard, your arms felt like jelly. Sabo had been showing you techniques for the better part of 2 hours, frequently correcting stances, before making you practice strikes.

“Alright, let’s stop for today, you look like you’re about to collapse.” Sabo said, surprised when you did, indeed, falter. Ace quickly catching you, his arm around your waist as he held you upright.

“Careful, Princess. Were we too hard on you today?” Ace asked, helping you over to one of the couches and helping you sit down.

“No, no I need you to be hard on me! I have a lot of catching up to do! I’ll accept that I’ll never be as good as you three, but I still need to get as good as possible as fast as possible. I won’t be some weak, defenseless princess!” you said, letting your entire body go lax as you caught your breath.

“I doubt you’re weak and defenseless even without sword fighting, but we’ll do our best.” Sabo said with a smile as he hid the swords away.

“Don’t worry, Y/n. You’ll be the best sword fighting princess in no time! You won’t even need our help.” Luffy said encouragingly.

“Thanks, Lu. I appreciate the support. I’m sure that only Sir Garp would be as good a teacher as you three.” you said with a grin.

“Yeah, but Gramps is really mean. He’d hit you a lot.” Luffy said, the three boys cringing as they thought about the training the man had put them through.

“I doubt the old man would be as rough on her as he was on us, but Luffy’s right, the man needs to learn the definition of going easy.” Ace agreed.

“Then it’s best that I’m learning from you.” you said with a small smile, letting yourself slide down the couch until you were laying down, “I’m just gonna… rest for a bit.” you said, exhaustion quickly taking hold of you as you fell asleep. Though it might be more accurate to say you passed out, the three boys amused by how quickly you fell into dreamland.

“Come on, princesses shouldn’t sleep on the couch.” Sabo said softly, picking you up and moving you to your bed.

“Wait, if princesses shouldn’t sleep on the couch then where did she sleep when we woke up in her bed?” Luffy asked, making Sabo sigh.

“I said ‘shouldn’t’, Luffy. Not that she doesn’t.” Sabo said, tucking you in before closing the doors to your bed chambers.

“So we’re really teaching her how to fight then? Isn’t the king gonna be kinda pissed?” Ace asked, flopping down on one of the couches, “I thought you didn’t want to be executed.”

“I don’t, but as the future ruler of the kingdom, she’s allowed to order us around within reason. If the king gets mad, I can merely tell him that it was an order from her. Our orders from him were, first and foremost, to protect his daughter. We weren’t instructed to ignore her own orders. This means that the only orders that supersede hers are the king’s. He can’t actually do anything to us without seeming like an unfair ruler.” Sabo explained, sitting on the couch you’d been on just moments ago, “and to be honest, he doesn’t seem like an unfair man. He knows about her sneaking out, after all. He didn’t kill us for that, we should, at very least, not be killed for teaching her sword fighting. Worst case scenario, he banishes us.”

“I’d like to not be banished!” Luffy said, sitting in his usual chair.

“Eh, I could go stay with Pops, they’ve said I’m always welcome there. I’m an honorary son of King Edward Newgate.” Ace said proudly.

“Luffy, I’m sure King Shanks would take you in. As for me, I have a group working to liberate kingdoms from tyrants.” Sabo said, his brothers nodding in understanding.

“Then we’re fine. I mean, I’d still prefer not to be banished, but at least we won’t die.” Ace said with a grin.

“I’m hungry, do you think we can get the maids to bring us food?” Luffy asked, Ace and Sabo’s stomach rumbling as if in response.

“Well we can’t protect the princess on an empty stomach.” Sabo said with a grin.

“And she’s asleep so we can’t leave here.” Ace added, knowing exactly where Sabo was going with this, both boys hurrying to get up to call the maids. Luffy might be the one whining for food most often, but that didn’t mean Ace and Sabo didn’t eat plenty as well.

Finally. Quiznaking. Finished. So. A couple nights ago, my brain was hit with a screenshot redrawn that I’ve seen of one lady pulling a sword from another in magical summoning glowiness. And. I didn’t know what that was from. AT ALL. So I spent like half an hour trying to figure out what it was and I did. And my brain said “We should draw this with VLD Pidge and VF Larmina.” And. While thinking of differently from Revolutionary Girl Utena (which I ended up watching the first two yesterdays), I loved the pose and the concept of summoning the sword from another. It was cool. So, in the end, I had to do that with Larmina and Pidge for some AY that hit my mind. And while I hated drawing the pose initially and figuring out the background, I am pleased with it in the end. I’m proud. Also, Larmina has an undercut. This was based on @toasthoneyandstardust’s concept with Larmina and that was the best idea ever. She looks so amazing with it.

Anyway, I hope y’all enjoy this one. Until next time!

That time the French Revolutionary Government tried to put Napoleon in command of the Paris National Guard, but he turned it down because he was having an affair with the dude’s wife (allegedly).

Also, he was literally 23 here. They were throwing so much responsibility onto him when he was so young.

(Extra: I’m laughing at the tidbit about Napoleon warning them not to invade Spain lolllll I love him. The irony is *chefs kiss*)

WASHINGTON (AP) — U.S. fighter jets launched airstrikes early Friday on two locations in eastern Syria linked to Iran’s Revolutionary Guard Corps, the Pentagon said, in retaliation for a slew of drone and missile attacks against U.S. bases and personnel in the region that began early last week.

The strikes reflect the Biden administration’s determination to maintain a delicate balance. The U.S. wants to hit Iranian-backed groups suspected of targeting the U.S. as strongly as possible to deter future aggression, possibly fueled by Israel’s war against Hamas, while also working to avoid inflaming the region and provoking a wider conflict.

Air Force Brig. Gen. Pat Ryder said Friday that the strikes near Boukamal by F-16 and F-15 fighter aircraft targeted a weapons storage facility and ammunition storage facility used by the IRGC and affiliated groups. “Both facilities were destroyed,” he said. “We currently assess there were no casualties in the strikes.”

A senior U.S. military official said there had been Iranian-aligned militia and IRGC personnel on the base and no civilians. The official would not say how many munitions were launched by the jets.

A senior defense official said the sites were chosen because the IRGC stores the types of munitions there that were used in the strikes against U.S. bases and troops. The two officials briefed reporters after the strikes on condition of anonymity to provide details on the mission that had not yet been made public.

Syrian opposition activists confirmed the U.S. strikes in Syria’s eastern province of Deir el-Zour. Omar Abu Layla, a Europe-based activist who heads the Deir Ezzor 24 media outlet, said the main target was an area known as “the farms” outside the town of Mayadeen. He said it is an important transit site where weapons from Iran are stored before being shipped to Lebanon.

He said the second strike hit an area known as the “green belt” in the Boukamal area that borders Iraq. According to Abu Layla, some people were evacuated before the strikes because the retaliation was expected. The Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, an opposition war monitor, said ambulances were seen rushing to the area but it wasn’t clear if there were casualties.

Meanwhile Friday, an Iranian semiofficial news agency, Tasnim, said gunmen in east Syria fired 10 rockets on a base housing American troops in retaliation for the U.S. airstrikes. A U.S. official confirmed the rocket attack and said there were no reported casualties.

And the Islamic Resistance in Iraq, an umbrella group for several Iran-backed groups, said fighters attacked al-Assad airbase in western Iraq with a suicide drone. U.S. officials said it was shot down a few kilometers away and did not hit the base.

According to the Pentagon, as of Friday there had been at least 20 attacks on U.S. bases and personnel in Iraq and Syria since Oct. 17. Ryder said 21 U.S. personnel were injured in two of those assaults when drones targeted al-Assad airbase in Iraq and al-Tanf garrison in Syria.

In a statement, Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin said the “precision self-defense strikes are a response to a series of ongoing and mostly unsuccessful attacks against U.S. personnel in Iraq and Syria by Iranian-backed militia groups that began on October 17.”

In a letter sent Friday to congressional leaders, President Joe Biden wrote: “The strikes were intended to establish deterrence and were conducted in a manner to limit the risk of escalation and avoid civilian casualties. I directed the strikes in order to protect and defend our personnel, to degrade and disrupt the ongoing series of attacks against the United States and our partners, and to deter Iran and Iran-backed militia groups from conducting or supporting further attacks on United States personnel and facilities.”

The senior defense official told reporters that the airstrikes will have a significant impact on the ability of Iranian proxy groups to continue to attack U.S. forces. Asked what groups were targeted, the official said there are several that can have different names, but the U.S. holds Tehran responsible for funding, arming, equipping and directing the proxies. The official said the airstrikes were not designed to expand the conflict in the region, but to compel Iran to direct the militia groups to cease the attacks on American bases and personnel.

The Biden administration has not accused Iran of having a direct role in the Oct. 7 Hamas attack on Israel and has said it appears so far that Tehran was not aware of it beforehand. But the U.S. has noted that Iran has long supported Hamas and has raised concerns that Iran and its proxies could turn the conflict into a wider war.

Austin said the U.S. does not seek a broader conflict, but if Iranian proxy groups continue, the U.S. won’t hesitate to take additional action to protect its forces.

According to the Pentagon, all the U.S. personnel hurt in the militant attacks received minor injuries and all returned to duty. In addition, a contractor suffered a cardiac arrest and died while seeking shelter from a possible drone attack.

The retaliatory strikes came as no surprise. Officials at the Pentagon and the White House have made it clear for the past week that the U.S. would respond, with Ryder saying again Thursday that it would be “at the time and place of our choosing.”

The latest spate of strikes by the Iranian-linked groups came in the wake of a deadly explosion at a Gaza hospital, triggering protests in a number of Muslim nations. The Israeli military has relentlessly attacked Gaza in retaliation for the devastating Hamas rampage in southern Israel nearly three weeks ago, but Israel has denied responsibility for the al-Ahli hospital blast and the U.S. has said its intelligence assessment found that Tel Aviv was not to blame.

The U.S., including the Pentagon, has repeatedly said any strike response by America would be directly tied to the attacks on the troops, who are focused on the fight against Islamic State militants in the region. They said the strikes are not connected to the war between Israel and Hamas.

Such retaliation and strikes against Iranian targets in Syria after similar attacks on U.S. bases are routine.

In March, for example, the U.S. struck sites in Syria used by groups affiliated with Iran’s Revolutionary Guard after an Iranian-linked attack killed a U.S. contractor and wounded seven other Americans in northeast Syria. American F-15 fighter jets flying out of al-Udeid Air Base in Qatar struck several locations around Deir el-Zour.

U.S. officials have not publicly tied the recent string of attacks in Syria and Iraq to the violence in Gaza, but Iranian officials have openly criticized the U.S. for providing weapons to Israel that have been used to strike Gaza, resulting in civilian death.
