I think this could be used as an endorsement: Do you love Hamas, Iran, or Hezbollah? Then read Drop Site News. It makes me want to read Drop Site more.

Hasan's positions on Ukraine are ambiguous. Ukraine flag posters believe that Hasan is anti-Ukraine. Other people say Hasan is pro-Ukraine.

I've watched Hasan regularly since 2019. I like his news coverage, I don't have to agree with him on everything. Nobody agrees with everything that any news reporter says.

If I remember back to February 2022, Hasan had predicted that Russia would not invade Ukraine. In 2022, every Ukraine flag twitter poster was harassing him. After Russia launched the "special military operation", his position on Ukraine-Russia flipped.

Prior to 2022, I remember Hasan doing Russia memes all the time. He used to play the wide Putin walking meme.

He mentions in the short video that he isn't going to make predictions on this. This is a reference to the Ukraine-supporters harassing him in 2022.

edit

Hasan did a whole 40 minute segment on Monday about Ukraine attacking Iran, starts at 2h30m on the vod. He concludes the segment by saying that Zelensky wants Ukraine to be US's new Israel but that Ukraine doesn't have the lobbying power or the religious zealots.

The hospital McConnell is at is in Washington DC, unless he was moved to a different hospital. The governor has jurisdiction over Kentucky.

There should be like some reporters trying to visit him at the hospital or something.

There's a hundred-thousand streets in this city. You don't need to know the route. You give me a time and a place, I give you a five minute window. Anything happens in that five minutes and I'm yours. No matter what. Anything happens a minute either side of that and you're on your own. Do you understand? I don't sit in while you're running it down. I don't carry a gun. I drive.

Also want to add that Iran possibly wants to disable the US base in Jordan because Jordan is the country between Iran and Israel.

I changed the title to be more specific. The video shows Trey Yingst reporting about a phone call he had with Trump. Trey Yingst is a Fox News reporter who works in Israel. He talks with Trump over the phone a lot. RapidResponse47 is a Trump-administration-owned twitter account.

Last night, IRGC attacked the US military base in Jordan. They've attacked this base before, including an attack that killed 3 US troops. Notable there were no sirens going off the previous videos of the attack, indicating that the attacks bypassed the US detection systems

For the past 2 weeks, Iran's attacks have been tit-for-tat. The pattern of the past 2 weeks follows: Iran closed Strait of Hormuz -> US tells commercial ship to go through Strait of Hormuz -> Iran attacks ships for violating closure of Strait of Hormuz -> US attacks Iran civilian infrastructure -> Iran attacks US military bases. Iran would attack US bases after US attacked Iranian infrastructure.

The pattern was broken yesterday. The US had not announced any attacks Iran since Friday. Iran had not attacked US bases since Friday.

IRGC said that the attack yesterday was due to ships trespassing in the Strait of Hormuz. This was the first time of the past 2 weeks that Iran attacked US bases without the US launching strikes on Iran on the same day.

US regime is pretending to be surprised by the attack. Trump swearing like this feels like desperation.

Shortly after Iran's attack on the US base in Jordan, US-Saudi conducted joint airstrikes in Iraq.

west-splaining with citizens of AES nations

China's anti-cannabis policies originated from the west. United States invented anti-cannabis laws to discriminate against migrant workers from Mexico. The term "marijuana" was popularized by the US because it sounds Spanish. Most countries made cannabis illegal just because of United States influence.

In 1970, the United States completely revamped its existing drug control laws by enacting the Controlled Substances Act (amended in 1978 by the Psychotropic Substances Act, which allows the U.S. drug control Schedules to be updated as needed to comply with the Convention). In 1971, the United Kingdom passed the Misuse of Drugs Act 1971. A host of other nations followed suit.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Convention_on_Psychotropic_Substances

In 1970, US passed the Controlled Substances Act under the Nixon administration, as part of the Nixon's "War on Drugs". In 1971, United Nations signed the Convention on Psychotropic Substances, influenced by the United States. This treaty is what influenced most countries to make Cannabis illegal.

The Convention of Pyschotropic Substances was signed in February of 1971, when PRC was not a member state of the United Nations. At the time, the UN considered Taiwan (ROC) to be the representative of China. PRC joined the UN in October of 1971. In 1972, PRC told the UN that it was not obligated to follow treaties signed by the ROC.

PRC joined the Convention of Psychotopic Substances in 1985. Marijuana/Cannabis became illegal in China in 1985 due to western influence.

edit /// changed the wording of the taiwan situation, due to possible misinterpretation. Chinese Taipei is still a part of China, under the One-China Policy. From 1945 to 1971, UN recognized the ROC as the representative of China and did not recognize PRC. After 1971, UN recognizes PRC as the sole representative and does not recognize Taiwan/ROC as a country.

I've seen multiple reports on China's CGTN news network which equated total drug overdoses in US with cannabis usage.

No official statements yet from the IRGC

IRGC just released a statement about the attack. There's some additional text on the image in Persian and I can't copy it.

IRGC Aerospace Commander: U.S. Army Air Base and Central Command Base in Jordan Targeted for Ballistic Missiles
As long as the threats against the Islamic Republic of Iran continue and the illegal and vicious actions of the American forces are taking place against our interests, the resistance will continue.

https://nitter.net/Tasnimnews_Fa/status/2082278589735600244#m

In retaliation for the hostile acts committed by the US military, which has a record of killing civilians, the IRGC Aerospace Force launched multiple ballistic missiles at a US airbase and CENTCOM headquarters in Jordan just hours ago.
Resistance will persist so long as threats to the Islamic Republic of Iran endure and US forces continue their illegal and hostile operations against our interests. The provocative rhetoric from American officials and their unlawful interference must come to an end.

These 2 events supposedly occurred independent of each other. Neither is a response of the other.

~~There are no reports currently in Iranian media where Iran claims the attack on the US base.~~

CENTCOM and Barak Ravid claimed that Iran striked the US base in Jordan. CENTCOM is the US government and Barak Ravid, who previously worked in IOF Unit 8200, is likely a US-Israeli asset. This is why I wrote "US says" in the title.

Also this is the first time that Saudi Arabia has claimed credit for an attack in the US war of aggression against Iran.

edit ////

Shortly after I made this comment, IRGC put out a press statement claiming the attack on the US base in Jordan.

U.S., Saudi Forces Strike Iran-Backed Terrorist Sites in Iraq
TAMPA, Fla. — U.S. Central Command and the Saudi Arabian Armed Forces conducted precision strikes in Iraq, July 28, against Iran-aligned terrorists that the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) directed to attack U.S. forces and Saudi energy infrastructure.
U.S. and Saudi fighter aircraft struck multiple terrorist logistics and weapons sites across eastern Iraq in a strong response to over 30 IRGC-directed aerial drone attacks in the last 72 hours.
The unwarranted attacks against U.S. forces were not successful.
From February through April 2026, there were more than 600 attempted attacks on U.S. citizens and facilities by Iran-aligned terrorist militias in Iraq.
The IRGC and its terrorist proxies must cease these attacks to avoid further U.S. military response.

At 5:45 p.m. ET today, Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps forces launched multiple ballistic missiles from Iran in an attempted surprise attack on U.S. forces based in the Middle East. All Iranian missiles were successfully intercepted. U.S. forces remain vigilant and at a high state of readiness.

Howard Lutnick was the CEO of Cantor Fitzgerald. Howard Lutnick is the current Secretary of Commerce in Trump's cabinet. Howard Lutnick was an affiliate of Epstein and Epstein's emails show that Lutnick visited Epstein's Island.

658 employees of Cantor Fitzgerald were killed in the 9/11 attacks. Howard Lutnick coincidentally did not show up to work that day.

In December 2013, Howard Lutnick sued American Airlines for $135 million for failing to prevent their plane from crashing into his company office. People thought that he was going to share the money with employees' families but he kept it all for himself.
