Follow up to this story from yesterday, where the lady was identified as Yeishi Moriya.
[Breitbart] A Texas border judge appears to have set a $5,000 bond on a woman from Mexico who is facing money laundering charges. Authorities stopped the woman from trying to cross to Mexico with $250,000 and two handguns.
Court records filed in Webb county revealed that authorities booked 28-year-old Yeishi Moriya Villasenor on August 23 into a local jail. At that time, Moriya went before local county magistrate Leticia Martinez who formally charged her with one count of money laundering and set her bond at $5,000. Records also revealed that Moriya was released on August 25 after a local bail bondsman posted her bond.
The case began on Monday at the Juarez-Lincoln bridge in the border city of Laredo, Texas, when a woman driving a 2022 Volkswagen Jetta approached to enter Mexico, a statement from U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) revealed.
A CBP officer sent the woman to a secondary inspection where authorities brought a police dog that led them to several bundles of cash, a 45 caliber handgun, and a 9mm handgun. According to CBP, the Webb County Sheriff’s Office filed state charges against Moriya and Homeland Security Investigations is also investigating the case. It remains unclear if federal authorities would be charging the Moriya in the future. According to the Laredo Morning Times, Moriya was going to receive $3,000 to move the money from Dallas to her home state of Michoacan.
The case sparked controversy in Mexico since Moriya is the daughter of Artemio Moriya, the mayor of the city of Tacambaro, Michoacan, and a member of the country’s ruling party MORENA. Numerous Facebook posts from Yeishi Moriya show her promoting her father’s political career.
The MORENA party was founded by Mexico’s President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador (AMLO) who has been previously quoted as claiming that the war on drugs is over. The Mexican president promotes a non-violent mostly peaceful approach against narco mobs that led to the phrase "abrazos no balazos or hugs, not bullets." This approach led to much criticism of AMLO and MORENA and accusations that the party is favoring certain criminal organizations.
On Friday evening, several days after Yeishi’s arrest, Artemio Moriya issued a video statement where he confirmed the arrest of his daughter. The politician claimed that at the time of the arrest, Yeishi was with her husband and two children. After his daughter’s release from jail, the family was going to travel back along with the politician’s wife but he lost communication with them and has not heard from them. The politician did not make any statements about the cash and weapons that US authorities seized from his daughter.

"But your Honor, my client is a simple tourist. As the world knows, America is such a dangerous place that anyone coming into the country with less than two handguns and a quarter million dollars is committing suicide."
[USA Today] MECHANICSBURG, Pa. — When Matt Coburn retired from the U.S. Army in spring 2021, after six deployments to Afghanistan, the Green Beret was ready to leave the war behind.
He was haunted by memories of friends being killed or maimed, and he was mentally exhausted by the military's bureaucracy.
He moved his family to this small town in south-central Pennsylvania, where he took a civilian job as a manager at an Amazon warehouse and promised his wife a more tranquil life..
But a year after the U.S. withdrawal, Afghanistan has come to him — and to his newly adopted hometown in Mechanicsburg, Pennsylvania.
The first to arrive was Azizullah Azizyar — a command sergeant major in the Afghan military who had worked closely with Coburn on special operations training. Reeling from the botched U.S. exit, Coburn agreed to sponsor Azizyar and his family, as he and other veterans frantically worked to help their Afghan friends escape.
Then came Pashtoon Peer Mohammad, another command sergeant major who escaped Kabul after hiding in the woods outside the capital for eight days. When he arrived at Fort Pickett, Peer Mohammad planned to move to Texas, where he'd lived while training at the U.S. Army Sergeant Major Academy.
[Daily Mail, where America gets its news] They were given specific orders by the White House. This is more of the kind of thing we discussed at the time.
MMA fighter turned soldier Tim Kennedy told a new Amazon documentary of how a colonel with the 82nd Airborne Division turned four bus loads back
They included US citizens, green card holders, special visa holders, Christians and orphans
All had been processed for passage to the US, Kennedy said, but the colonel queried whether that processing could have been faked
They were subsequently bussed back out of the airport, in full view of the Taliban who would have by-then known they'd helped their sworn American enemies
It happened after a team of exceptionally-experienced security level personnel were dispatched into Kabul to gather people approved to fly back to the US on chartered planes after President Biden announced plans to withdraw.
That sparked an almost-immediate capitulation to the Taliban by US-trained Afghan forces, as well as a sudden and chaotic scramble to fly refugees out from Kabul’s besieged airport.
Those collected by the buses included American citizens, green card holders, Afghans who’d helped the war effort and been granted Special Interest Visas, as well as Christians who faced persecution at the hands of the Taliban, and orphaned children.
The incident in question transpired on August 25, members of the groups said in the recently released documentary, outside the Kabul Airport, where days later a suicide blast by ISIS-K agents would leave 13 servicemen and 170 Afghans dead.
Realizing the pressing nature of the situation, fellow SoA founder Nick Palmisciano - a former infantry officer in the US Army - said he, Kennedy, and their other colleagues enlisted the buses to help streamline the evacuation.
The group - which included Kennedy, Palmisciano, Special Forces Officer Dave Johnson, and ex-recon Marine Chad Robichaux - had purchased the buses out of their own pockets, they said, and used them to pick up the various individuals across the war-torn country all through the night.
Days after the buses were turned away, Joe Biden ordered the last of the 13,000 or so soldiers stationed in the war-torn country to withdraw - likely leaving thousands behind to suffer at the hands of the notorious terrorist group.
Send Me, which started streaming on Amazon Prime last week, details the buildup to this event and chronicles one of the largest civilian rescue operations in history - which in this case was foiled by the unidentified colonel.
Johnson, a former special forces officer and ex-Westpoint graduate, recalled of the frantic evacuation effort: 'In one last swoop we thought we could just get one big, big lump through. We had this great little gate that we had arranged ahead of time with the Marines. We have five of them lined up at this one gate - Black Gate.'
At the time, Palmisciano had been waiting at the airport with Sean Lee, the operations officer for Save Our Allies and a 22-year veteran of the U.S. Army, for the buses' arrival.
#2
Could have properly vetted them in India or Diego Garcia when they had plenty of time. For that matter they could have vetted and started evacuations years earlier when Trump said we were leaving and military brass was arguing and dragging their feet.
Tragedy and nobody will be held accountable. At least not for years.
#7
This presumes the WH had sufficient, granular knowledge of the buses and their load to be concerned about them, particularly. The character of their passengers, and why they pose a particular threat to the WH' s plans which were not divulged.

Is't this the same colonel who insisted that a vehicle be taken out on a plane - he essentially kicked those people off the plane to make room for his souvenir.

[HODHODYEMENNEWS] The UAE authorities demanded their delegate on the occupied island of Socotra, to recruit a new batch of Yemen ...an area of the Arabian Peninsula sometimes mistaken for a country. It is populated by more antagonistic tribes and factions than you can keep track of... i girls in the island and send them for training in Abu Dhabi.
Local sources familiar with the matter said that the UAE opened a center to receive girls wishing to be recruited on the island of Socotra, on the condition that each applicant be between 15-22 years old.
The new batch of girls’ recruitment is the third in Socotra since the beginning of 2019, they received their training in Abu Dhabi by officers of different nationalities, including "Israelis."
This came after "Khalifa Foundation", the UAE intelligence arm, organized in Socotra last week, a women’s marathon in Noujid area, which caused widespread resentment and anger among the island’s tribes, who considered it as step to target the dignity and modesty of conservative Socotra women.
[BenarNews] Five years after hundreds of thousands of Rohingya fled a brutal crackdown by Myanmar’s military, refugees stuck at camps in southeastern Bangladesh say they feel increasingly unsafe as ARSA rebels and armed criminal gangs are targeting community leaders for attack.
Muhammed Jubair, who is among those leaders, says the Arakan Rohingya Salvation Army
... Harakah al-Yaqin or Harkat ul Yaqin (Faith Movement, HaY), led by a committee in Saudi Arabia, and commanded on the ground by a group of 20 jihadis fronted by one Ata Ullah a.k.a. Hafiz Tohar a.k.a. Jununi, who was born in Karachi and reared in Saudi Arabia. ARSA may or may not be a false-nose-and-mustache front for Aqa Mul Mujahideen, a minor jihadi group linked to al-Qaeda and the Rohingya Solidarity Organisation (RSO). At any rate, ARSA has the vocal support of al-Qaeda’s Bangladesh offshoot Ansar al-Islam as well as Hizbut Tahrir...
has threatened him for his work as head of the Arakan Rohingya Society for Peace and Human Rights (ARSPH). His group advocates for the repatriation of the refugees to their home villages and townships in Rakhine state, which lies across the border from Cox’s Bazar district.
"ARSA asked me to stop my work, otherwise they would kill me," Jubair told BenarNews.
ARSA, formerly known as al-Yaaqin, is the Rohingya murderous Moslem group that launched coordinated deadly attacks on Burmese government military and police outposts in Rakhine that provoked the crackdown, which began on Aug. 25, 2017, and forced close to three-quarters of a million people to seek shelter in Bangladesh.
The United Nations ...an idea whose time has gone... and United States have since labeled the mass killings, burnings and rape allegedly committed by government forces and turbans at Rohingya villages as a genocide.
Jubair took over as head of the ARSPH after the September 2021 liquidation of Muhib Ullah, the society’s previous director, who had drawn international attention to the refugees’ plight and visited the White House in Washington.
For years since the 2017 exodus into Cox’s Bazar, Bangladeshi government officials denied that ARSA had a foothold or presence in the sprawling camps, which house about 1 million refugees near the frontier with Myanmar. But that changed with Muhib Ullah’s killing by a group of button men and other attacks that followed.
In a report issued in June, Bangladesh police alleged that ARSA leader Ataullah Abu Ahmmar Jununi had ordered Ullah assassinated because he was more popular.
Jubair blamed ARSA for killing Rohingya leaders who call for refugees to repatriate to Rakhine state. He said that while ARSA claimed that its members were working to "defend and protect" Rohingya against state repression in Myanmar, they wouldn’t flinch in attacking refugees.
"ARSA never tolerates any Rohingya who are not part of their group," he said. "They want to ensure their domination everywhere."
Since the government confirmed ARSA’s existence in the camps following Ullah’s killing, thousands of Rohingya leaders and volunteers have joined police on nightly patrols.
Still, violence goes on. Six Rohingya were killed at their madrassa at the Balukhali camp less than a month after Muhib Ullah’s murder and volunteers with safety patrols say ARSA targets them for sharing information about crime in the camps.
Security volunteer Mohammad Harun said ARSA wanted to make the madrassa a base camp, but madrassa chief Maulana Akiz did not agree and, as a result, was among the six killed.
"No one is safe from ARSA. In the camps where ARSA members stay, people are afraid to go out even during the day," Harun told BenarNews.
Since the unprecedented exodus into southeastern Bangladesh, not a single Rohingya refugee has been repatriated, and the prospect of Rohingya going home to Rakhine is further complicated by post-coup violence in what is now junta-ruled Myanmar.
Now, five years on, Rohingya say they feel trapped because they have little freedom of movement in the camps and are largely barred from leaving their camps’ confines. About 27,400 others were transferred to Bhashan Char, an island in the Bay of Bengal where the Bangladesh government built housing for about 100,000 of the refugees. Those on the island have complained about being unable to leave to visit family members in the mainland camps.
ROHINGYA KILLED IN CAMPS
Police have said at least 121 Rohingya have been killed in the last five years at different camps in and around Cox’s Bazar, while 414 ARSA members have been arrested since Ullah’s killing.
Mohammad Kamran Hossain, additional superintendent of the 8th Armed Police Battalion, did not release details about ARSA’s presence in the camps.
"We are conducting drives to prevent crimes inside the Rohingya camps and root out the criminal groups including so-called ARSA," he told BenarNews.
Hossain said about 11,000 Rohingya volunteers join police in patrolling the camps each night, adding that many of the volunteers are being victimized because of their efforts to alert police to ARSA activities.
Still, the patrols are having a positive effect in the camps.
"The activities of the criminals are being hindered due to the active role of the Majhi [Rohingya leader] and volunteers in the camp. That is why rebel groups are angry and attack them," Hossain said, adding no one involved in crimes against Rohingya would be exempt from prosecution.
Human rights activist muppets described the Rohingya leaders as educated people working for repatriation and against illegal drug dealings and other criminal activities.
"Many educated Rohingya leaders were already being killed by terrorists. Especially after the killing of Muhib Ullah, many English-speaking Rohingya leaders have become silent while few are active because of risks to their lives," Khin Mong, founder of the Rohingya Youth Association and a resident of the Unchiprang camp in Cox’s Bazar, told BenarNews.
Khin said he uses a pseudonym because of security concerns. While Ullah’s killing shocked the world, ARSA had already killed other pro-repatriation leaders because the rebels sought to establish their leadership in the camps, Khin said.
"All of us who are working in favor of repatriation and against various crimes in the camps, including drug and human trafficking, are in fear of losing our lives every moment," Khin said.
Khin said pro-repatriation Rohingya leaders who were killed included Maulana Abdullah of the Jamtoli camp and Arif Ullah of the Balukhali camp in 2018; Mulovi Hasim in the Kutupalong camp and Abdul Matlab in the Leda camp in 2019; and Shawkat Ali in Kutupalong’s Lambasia camp in May 2021.
He said the victims’ families blamed ARSA for the killings.
Meanwhile, ...back at the barn, Bossy had come up with a new idea, one that didn't involve kerosene... the executive director of Ain-O-Salish Kendra, the nation’s leading human rights ...which are often intentionally defined so widely as to be meaningless... organization, questioned law enforcers’ efforts to protect Rohingya.
"The level of risk for potential Rohingya leaders is increasing because the position of criminals is constantly strong in the camp area," Nur Khan Liton told BenarNews.
He noted that the closure of the ARSPH office and restrictions on the organization’s leaders after Ullah’s killing had added to the dangers faced by Rohingya.
ARSPH leader Jubair wrote to the U.N. refugee agency (UNHCR) last month, informing it about the risks that he and his family face, according to a copy of the letter obtained by BenarNews.
Along with Jubair, 17 Christian Rohingya families who have been in transit camps since January 2020 because of a reported ARSA attack sent a letter to UNHCR requesting protection.
"Authorities later rebuilt our houses, but we are still living here in a transit camp due to fear of ARSA," Saiful Islam Peter, one of 76 Christian Rohingya, told BenarNews.
Regina de la Portilla, a spokeswoman for UNHCR in Cox’s Bazar, told BenarNews that it was providing support to Rohingya Christians, just as it supports all of the refugees in the camps.
"The traditional policing will not work at Rohingya camps. The police should discuss with the people who are at risk or vulnerable," criminology and police science professor Md. Omar Faruk told BenarNews.
"There is a kind of conflict between the privileged and disadvantaged Rohingya in the camps. Many Rohingya feel they are better off here than in Rakhine, while educated Rohingya with better status think they will be better off if they go back," said Faruk of the Mawlana Bhashani Science and Technology University.
[Breitbart] One of Mexico’s most controversial mass killings where 43 students headed to a protest were kidnapped by police and cartel allies took a turn in recent days. New evidence indicates the order to kill and dispose of their remains came from drug lords in Chicago.
The mass killing took place in 2014 in Guerrero, when a group of students stole buses on their way to a protest. At the time, Mexico’s government claimed that 43 students had been kidnapped by police and turned over to cartel members to be killed and incinerated in a landfill near the town of Cocula. That version of events became known as the Historic Truth. Shortly after, questions arose about the validity of the story when forensic evidence was reviewed by international experts.
Last week, the case made headlines after Mexico’s Undersecretary for Human Rights Alejandro Encinas released a report claiming the massacre was a “crime of state” and officials at the highest levels attempted cover-ups. Days after the release of the report, authorities arrested the former Attorney General of Mexico, Jose Murillo Karam, for his role in creating the Historic Truth and torturing suspects.
New information detailed in Encinas’ report revealed that U.S. authorities had tapped phones and intercepted messages belonging to brothers José Ángel Casarrubias Salgado and Adan “El Tomate” Cassarrubias Salgado, living in Chicago. According to Milenio, those surveillance efforts led to the discovery that the kill order originated in Illinois.
The U.S. Government tapped the lines to investigate heroin smuggling schemes between Chicago and Guerrero. The two brothers, along with a third in Mexico (Sidronio Casarrubias Salgado), and other relatives were the leaders of Guerreros Unidos, a splinter of the Familia Michoacana Cartel.
The phone messages and conversations reportedly revealed the brothers’ beliefs that rivals had infiltrated the students and were using the buses to smuggle themselves into their territory.
The brothers relayed to their henchmen in Mexico to get rid of the evidence. According to Milenio, since there were too many students, a cartel lieutenant known as “El Chucky” had his men use machetes to dismember the bodies and place them into bags. El Chucky then had each cell of gunmen take bags and dispose of the remains.

/\ It's a control measure with handsome cartel dividends.
Urban America and the sanctuary cities have no other industries. No brick and mortar overhead. It's the Big Pharma of the underrepresented. The affected populations eventually eliminate themselves, well short of Full Retirement Age (FRA). Hence the need for open borders, drug mules, and replacement people,
See 'Planned Parenthood' for other examples of structured population reduction.

Street gangs in Chicago have veto over local politicians. They hold special meet-and-greet sessions for the gangs to talk to pols and decide if they approve or not.
These murders are a direct result of Chicago corruption. What a shame no one has the guts to take it on.

Murcek, what other urban areas? Peoria isn't that bad, Quad Cities isn't that bad. East St. Louis is as bad, but it's primarily a St. Louis problem. Champaign-Urbana, Normal -- do they count as urban?
Illinois is a state effectively run by a single urban region, and down-state doesn't have the political power to reign-in Chicagoland.

Chicago, where have I seen that pedigree in the biography of a major political figure and his mentor? Its just on the tip of my tongue, and it is certain that it involved "community organizing" at the grass-roots, street level where this kind of corruption flourishes.
[NPASyria] On Thursday, a Paleostinian-Syrian individual was put on trial in Berlin Supreme Court ...the political football known as The Highest Court in the Land, home of penumbrae and emanations... for war crimes he committed in Syria eight years ago.
The man, whose identity was withheld, is accused of throwing rocket-propelled grenade at civilian gathering, according to Middle East Monitor.
As a result, seven individuals were reported killed then.
The man is accused of several crimes, including war crimes, seven counts of murder, and three counts of attempted murder among others.
He is said to be committed the crimes out of Dire Revenge, according to the lawsuit.
The 55-year- old man was affiliated with the Paleostine Movement militia. Prior, he belonged to the Popular Front for the Liberation of Paleostine — General Command.
The Paleostinian-Syrian defendant went to Germany in 2018 and was arrested in August 2021.
Germany’s application of the rule of "universal jurisdiction," allowed its federal prosecution to pursue suspects accused of committing serious crimes abroad.
On August 16, federal prosecutor in Berlin arrested a Syrian accused of supporting the Islamic State ...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that they were al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're really very devout, committing every atrocity they can find in the Koran and inventing a few more. They fling Allah around with every other sentence, but to hear western pols talk they're not really Moslems.... Organization (ISIS).
[KhaamaPress] A charter flight from Pakistain carrying 324 Afghan refugees landed in Winnipeg, the capital of the Canadian province of Manitoba, according to local media in Canada.
The Canadian Immigration Service, officially known as Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC), stated on Friday, August 27, that the flight contained interpreters and others who had worked with the Canadian forces and allied institutions.
Following the fall of the Afghan government to the Taliban ...the Pashtun equivalent of men... , the federal government committed to resettling 40,000 Afghans in Canada. This charter is a part of that commitment.
According to IRCC figures, 17,655 Afghan citizens have been relocated to Canada since the evacuation process began. This process is still ongoing, and this department says that efforts are being made to relocate thousands more.
Through a humanitarian effort and a special immigration program for Afghans who supported the government, about 17,600 Afghans have been welcomed to Canada thus far.
[KhaamaPress] A US judge reportedly concluded on Friday that the 9/11 victims were not entitled to and are precluded from seizing assets owned by the Afghan Central Bank that are worth billions of dollars.
According to Naseer Ahmad Faiq, Chargé d’Affaires of Afghanistan’s Permanent Mission to the UN, the New York court rejected the request for compensation from Afghanistan’s frozen assets to the September 11 victims.
In a tweet sent out on August 27th, Faiq offered his congratulations to the Afghan people and expressed his hope that the country’s frozen assets would soon be released, with the money going toward development and aid for the country’s poor.
U.S. Magistrate Judge Sarah Netburn ruled that the Central Bank of Afghanistan aka Da Afghanistan Bank was beyond of the jurisdiction and that authorizing the seizures would amount to the US president recognizing the Islamist Death Eater group as the Afghan government, Rooters reported.
"The Taliban ...Arabic for students... ’s victims have fought for years for justice, accountability, and compensation. They are entitled to no less," the conclusion of the ruling noted.
The United States and other Western countries ceased providing aid to Afghanistan after foreign troops withdrew and the Taliban retook control of the country on August 15, 2021.
They also have frozen the assets of Afghanistan, preventing the Taliban, the de facto government of Afghanistan.
U.S. President Joe The Big Guy Biden ...46th president of the U.S. We hold these truths to be self-evident. All men and women created ... by the — you know — you know, the thing... ordered $3.5 billion of that amount to be allocated "for the benefit of the Afghan people" in an executive order in February, leaving the victims to pursue the remaining funds in court.
Meanwhile, ...back at the shootout, Butch cautiously raised his hat over the edge of the horse trough on the end of a stick...... US officials announced on August 15 that Biden’s administration has opted not to release any of the Central Bank of Afghanistan’s $7 billion in assets.
[GREATERKASHMIR] General Officer Commanding (GOC) 19 Infantry Division, Major General Ajay Chandpuria, on Friday said that Pakistain continues with its efforts to disturb peace in Jammu and Kashmir ...a disputed territory lying between India and Pakistain. After partition, the Paks grabbed half of it and call it Azad (Free) Kashmir. The remainder they refer to as "Indian Occupied Kashmir". They have fought four wars with India over it, the score currently 4-0 in New Delhi's favor. After 72 years of this nonsense, India cut the Gordian knot in 2019, removing the area's special status, breaking off Ladakh as a separate state, and allowing people from other areas to settle (or in the case of the Pandits, to resettle) there.... by pushing more and more holy warriors across the border. He added that the security grid is strong enough to deal with their nefarious designs.
"The recent infiltration bids in Akhnoor, Rajouri, Tangdhar and Gurez sector shows there is no change in Pakistain’s intent with respect to abating terrorism across Jammu and Kashmir," he said at a presser.
Three Pak bad boyz were potted by the security forces while they were trying to infiltrate through Kamalkote area of Uri sector on Thursday. Three sophisticated weapons which include two AK series rifles and most advanced M16 rifle besides ammunition was recovered from the slain terrorists.
On the recovery of M16 rifle, a Chinese made 9mm weapon which has been first time recovered from the terrorists, the GOC said that the recovery of the weapon is unusual so far and security agencies will examine the new development. While giving details of the operation in Uri sector, Lt Gen Raghav said, "After receiving intelligence inputs from multiple intelligence agencies including the Jammu and Kashmir police about the possible infiltration bid, the army launched operation Mirtinjai in Kamalkote Uri on August 24."
He said despite hostile conditions like foggy weather, dense undergrowth, difficult terrain, heavy rain and entire area being mined, the operation Mirtinjai was launched. He said on Augusy 25, at around 8.45 am, the infiltrators were spotted. With the progress in the movement of the terrorists, the forces engaged them by firing at them.
"After brief encounter of 15 minutes, the holy warriors were neutralised," said Commanding officer 8 RR. He said, "The operation was extremely successful. The area was kept under observation and after the area was secured and sensitised, searches were carried out during which bodies of all the three terrorists".

Even while half their country is massively flooded.
[Jpost] According to the report, the purpose of the operation - conducted with the US - was to simulate an aerial and maritime strike on Iran in the Red Sea.
Israeli Air Force F-35 advanced fifth-generation fighter jets penetrated Iranian airspace multiple times over the last two months, according to the Saudi media outlet Elaph. Both Iranian and Russian radars failed to locate them, according to the report.
According to the news site, Israel and the US have conducted large-scale exercises over the Red Sea in order to simulate an aerial and maritime strike on Iran and the seizure of Iranian vessels in the Gulf Sea. The exercises come as part of a series of drills conducted by the two countries both secretly and publicly in order to prepare for strikes on Iranian nuclear sites.
Israel has been preparing its aerial fleet - chief among them the F-35s - to be prepared in the case of a nuclear Iran, specifically upgrading the jets so that they would not require mid-air refueling.
The IAF recently integrated a new one-ton bomb into the arsenal of weapons used by the F-35s (known in the IAF as the “Adir”) that can be carried inside the plane’s internal weapons compartment without jeopardizing its stealth radar signature.
The IDF has held independent as well as joint F-35 drills with other countries over the last few months.
The Israeli Navy has also strengthened its presence off the coast of Lebanon and in the Red Sea, according to the report.
An Arab source told Elaph that the exercises between the US and Israel show that Israel will receive support and assistance if it strikes Iranian facilities after a deal is reached with Tehran in Vienna. The source added that he does not rule out the outbreak of a conflict between Israel and Iran soon.
The Saudi news report comes on the heels of heightened tensions with Iran and the final text of the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action deal. Iran has, over the last few days, demanded that the probe opened by the International Atomic Energy Agency into its enriched uranium sites be closed.
On Wednesday, Prime Minister Yair Lapid said that US President Joe Biden would not be fulfilling his commitment to stop Iran from obtaining a nuclear weapon if it joins the Iran deal as it stands.
