Report: Some U.S. Weapons Sent to Ukraine Ended up in Iranian Hands

Some of the billions of dollars of weapons the United States sent to Ukraine has fallen into Iranian hands, a report Friday details.

As Republican lawmakers have stepped up their oversight on U.S. aid to Ukraine, four anonymous sources revealed to CNN some of the weapons provided to Ukraine have been captured by Russian forces and sent to Iran for reverse-engineering.

Those weapons include the Javelin anti-tank and Stinger anti-aircraft missiles that Ukraine has begged the U.S. to send more of. The weapons were likely picked up on the battlefield, the sources told CNN.

According to the report:

In many of those cases, Russia has then flown the equipment to Iran to dismantle and analyze, likely so the Iranian military can attempt to make their own version of the weapons, sources said. Russia believes that continuing to provide captured Western weapons to Iran will incentivize Tehran to maintain its support for Russia’s war in Ukraine, the sources said.

Earlier this month, Republican lawmakers had pressed Department of Defense officials on whether any U.S. weapons have fallen into the wrong hands.

The Pentagon’s top policy official, Colin Kahl, repeatedly insisted that the DOD was not seeing “any evidence of significant diversion” of weapons sent to Ukraine, as previously reported by Breitbart News.

However, he admitted, “I think our assessment is if some of these systems have been diverted, it’s by Russians who have captured things on the battlefield which always happens. But there’s no evidence that the Ukrainians are diverting it to the black market or some other things.”

He also argued that the Ukrainians were asking for more weapons because “they are using everything that we have provided them.”

Officials claimed to CNN that the Ukrainian military “has made it a habit since the beginning of the war to report to the Pentagon any losses of US-provided equipment to Russian forces.”

The U.S. has committed more than $113 billion in aid to Ukraine in less than a year, with more than $32 billion of it in weapons, much of it taken from the U.S. military’s own stocks.

Jane Fonda Suggests On ‘The View’ That People Should ‘Murder’ Pro-Lifers

Actress Jane Fonda appeared to suggest on “The View” Friday that people “murder” pro-lifers.

Fonda declared that society “will not go back” to a pre-Roe v. Wade world after the Supreme Court overturned the ruling in the case, Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization. She then appeared to suggest “murder” in response to co-host Joy Behar’s question about other methods besides protesting, however it’s unclear if it the comment was intended as a joke.

“Besides marching and protesting, what else do you suggest?” Behar asked.

“Well, I think murder,” Fonda replied.

“What did you say?” fellow “Grace and Frankie” Lily Tomlin asked.

“Murder,” Fonda repeated.

Iran, Saudi Arabia Will Normalize Ties Under Agreement Brokered by China

Tehran and Riyadh committed to reopening embassies after nearly a decade-long break in ties between the Mid East powers.

Iranian and Saudi state media announced a new agreement that Tehran and Riyadh normalize relations under an agreement brokered by China. The deal between the Middle East rivals comes after American interference in talks.

"After several days of intensive negotiations between [Iran’s Supreme National Security Council Secretary Ali] Shamkhani and Saudi Arabia’s national security adviser Musaid Al Aiban in Beijing, an agreement was reached on Friday aimed at resuming relations between the two countries," Iranian state media, IRNA, wrote.

Saudi state media affirmed the IRNA report with a press release. Beijing, Tehran and Riyadh "announce that an agreement has been reached between [Saudi] and the [Iran], that includes an agreement to resume diplomatic relations between them and re-open their embassies and missions within a period not exceeding two months." It continued, "they also agreed that the ministers of foreign affairs of both countries shall meet to implement this, arrange for the return of their ambassadors, and discuss means of enhancing bilateral relations."

The deal also includes a commitment by Iran, Saudi Arabia and China to "make every effort to strengthen regional and international peace and security."

The agreement calls for Tehran and Riyadh to respect other nations’ sovereignty. Additionally, Saudi Arabia and Iran agreed to implement accords that were signed in 1998 and 2001. The talks between Tehran and Riyadh occurred in Beijing this week and the deal was inked during a ceremony on Friday.

China’s most senior foreign policy official, Wang Yi, celebrated the signing as a "victory." "This is a victory for the dialogue, a victory for peace, and is major positive news for the world which is currently so turbulent and restive, and it sends a clear signal," he said.

Tehran and Riyadh cut ties in 2016 after Saudi Arabia carried out the execution of a prominent Shia cleric. This resulted in protesters storming the Saudi embassy in Iran, provoking the end of ties between the two nations.

Tensions between Iran and Saudi Arabia have been inflamed by other conflicts in the Middle East. In Syria and Iraq, Saudi Arabia backed extremist forces and Iran backed the armies of Damascus and Baghdad. In Yemen, Riyadh has fought a war against the Houthis for nearly a decade. Saudi Arabia claims the Houthis are a proxy force of Iran. However, Riyadh, and its supporters in Washington, have failed to present credible evidence that Tehran provides any significant support to the Houthis.

Pfizer admits conducting research for increase in profits — Russian defense ministry

Igor Kirillov drew attention to the remarks by Pfizer’s former employee Karen Kingston, who said that the products of the US pharmaceutical company "by definition, are biological weapons"

Employees of the US pharmaceutical corporation Pfizer admit the fact of conducting ‘directional evolution’ research for gaining competitive advantages and boosting profits, Chief of Russia’s Radiation, Chemical and Biological Protection Force Igor Kirillov told a briefing devoted to Washington’s military-biological activities on Friday.

He noted the US Senate’s request to the Department of Health on ‘directional evolution’ research conducted by Pfizer. It attempted to estimate the credibility of information received by the American non-profit organization Project Veritas from Pfizer Director of Research and Planning Jordan Walker. Among other things, he said that the company used the possibility of conducting ‘directional evolution’ research for improving the efficiency of its vaccines. Commenting on approaches to the creation of new vaccines, Walker said: <…why don’t we change the virus ourselves so that we could pre-emptively develop new vaccines.

"Consequently, Pfizer’s employee admits the fact of conducting ‘directional evolution’ research aimed at gaining competitive advantages and boosting profits," Kirillov concluded.

He also drew attention to the remarks by Pfizer’s former employee Karen Kingston, who said that the products of the US pharmaceutical company "by definition, are biological weapons." Kingston cited US legislation that defines biological weapons as any biological agent, toxin or delivery vehicle, including vaccines with mRNA technology (messenger ribonucleic acid - TASS).

Kirillov said that according to information at hand, the development of vaccines of this type had been bankrolled by the US budget since 2017 and by the time commercially available drugs appeared, it had been clear that they could cause the development of secondary diseases and serious complications such as meningitis, anaphylactic shock, acute myocardial infarction and stroke.

According to Kirillov, the side effects after the vaccination were supposed to be treated with medicines manufactured by Pfizer and Moderna, which have already received billions-worth government contacts. "Such an approach makes it possible for American pharmaceutical companies to fully use new pathogens in their interests and receive huge profits," he stressed.

In Rome, Netanyahu says ties with Italy about to expand dramatically

After meeting Italian premier Giorgia Meloni, PM doesn’t mention Iran threat, though sources say it dominated the discussion

His meeting with Meloni came just after Iran and Saudi Arabia announced a resumption of diplomatic ties, a development that Netanyahu was widely criticized in Israel for failing to prevent.

Netanyahu has been touting the possibility of Israel signing a normalization deal with Riyadh.

Opposition figures accused Netanyahu of prioritizing pushing through his contentious judicial overhaul at the expense of focusing on Iran.

Mexico president: US responsible for Fentanyl crisis, denies synthetic opioid made in his country

There were over 70,601 overdose deaths in 2021 in the U.S. related to synthetic opioids other than methadone, the U.S. government says.

Mexico’s president is rejecting the argument his country is in part responsible for the United States' fentanyl overdose epidemic, despite what appears to be overwhelming evidence otherwise.

President Andrés Manuel López Obrador said Thursday that his country does not produce or consume fentanyl.

He made the comment during a visit to Mexico by Liz Sherwood-Randall, the United States' homeland security adviser, to discuss the fentanyl crisis.

The Mexico president also said the United States should use family values to combat drug addiction.

In the past, the Mexican government acknowledged the synthetic opioid fentanyl was produced in its labs, using materials from China. There is also widespread concern about fentanyl being smuggled into the U.S. across the country's border with Mexico.

"Here, we do not produce fentanyl, and we do not have consumption of fentanyl," López Obrador said. "Why don’t they (the United States) take care of their problem of social decay?"

There were over 70,601 overdose deaths in 2021 in the U.S. related to synthetic opioids other than methadone, according to the National Institutes of Health.

U.S. and Mexican officials largely agree that almost all the fentanyl consumed in the U.S. is produced and processed in Mexico, according to the Associated Press.

The Mexican army, in fact, announced last month that it had seized over a half-million fentanyl pills in what it called the largest synthetic drug lab found to date. The lab was discovered in Culiacan, the capital of Sinaloa state, the wire service also reports.

López Obrador cited a list of the type of American whom he thought would turn to fentanyl, including single-parent families, parents who kick their children out of their homes, and people who rarely visit their relatives in old age homes.

Proud Boy Dominic Pezzola Calls Gateway Pundit with Explosive Developments from Proud Boys Trial – FBI Lied and Guess Who Ignited the Violence on J6?

The government’s fabricated case against the Proud Boys was suspended until next week after the defense attorneys were accidentally given information from DOJ lawyers that shows the US government was deleting evidence, hiding documents and spying on the prisoners while they were speaking with their attorneys.

Of course, all of those actions are illegal.

On Friday morning J6 political prisoner Dominic Pezzola called The Gateway Pundit to give us an update on the case. The case was postponed until next week so that the government can plot how to handle the fact that they were caught spying and deleting evidence.

Dominic was arrested on January 15, 2021, and appeared in court that same day. He pleaded not guilty to 1-11 counts against him on February 9th and then again on May 29th. Dominic Pezzola remains detained in the DC Gulag, a political prisoner of the left. He has not been given his Constitutional right of a speedy trial. The DOJ does not believe in the US Constitution.

Proud Boys member Dominic Pezzola has been held in solitary confinement for 90% of his time in prison after he broke a window at the US Capitol. Dominic has been held at in prison for 27 months now. He was not given his discovery for days after the trial started.

Pezzola faces possibly 20 years in prison for breking a window and several manufactured charges by Merrick Garland’s DOJ.

Dominic told The Gateway Pundit on Friday exactly what was found in the secret documents the government leaked to the Proud Boys attorneys.

Dominic: We came across messages of this agent, her boss, telling her to delete 360 or 380 different lines of evidence that were supposed to go to us. So we caught them hiding evidence, destroying evidence. We also caught them. There was another message saying, take my name off the CHS documents. So now they’re altering evidence…

…We actually came across the message that said, we want you to destroy 300 and something lines of evidence. That was a message we read with our own eyes.
