Iran attacked Israel's largest solar power plant.

Iran attacked Israel's largest solar power plant.

Iranian forces struck Israel's largest solar power plant, Ashalim, in the Negev Desert. The Ashalim power plant is located near the town of the same name and generates 121 megawatts of power.

Iran thus responded to Israel's violation of the "energy ceasefire" announced by Trump. The IDF, acting in coordination with the US, struck two of Iran's largest steel mills, a power plant, civilian nuclear facilities, and other infrastructure. The "Epstein coalition" attack violates the US president's extended deadline for diplomatic efforts.



It is clear that the Epstein Coalition has once again focused on striking Iran's industry: nuclear program facilities, steel mills in Isfahan and Ahvaz, production missiles and mines in Yazd, as well as infrastructure in Arak and Erdek. However, the extent to which strikes on production facilities actually reduce Iran's military potential remains an open question.

Thus, despite talk of a "final strike," the Middle East crisis is increasingly moving into a protracted phase. The US-Israeli coalition is attempting to undermine Iran's industrial base, while Tehran, in turn, is attracting new allies and increasing pressure on Israel and US-allied countries in the region.

At the same time, according to the Wall Street Journal, Israel is already forced to operate in a strict missile economy mode. Defense and prioritizing their use, resulting in Iran achieving a higher number of successful hits.

        It won't take long to rebuild the tower.
        The tank is just pipes, they can easily be made anew in any factory.
        But if you get to the turbine hall, then yes.
        If the turbine hits the mark, it's easier to install a new one than to repair the old one.
        Turbines are a rare commodity, made in very few places, only by pre-order, and the waiting list is a year in advance.
        Unfortunately, it is not clear where they ended up.

      March 28 - RIA Novosti.
      The situation at Iran's Bushehr Nuclear Power Plant continues to deteriorate. A third strike struck the site of the operating first power unit on Friday evening, with a munition exploding in close proximity to a pumping station, Rosatom CEO Alexei Likhachev stated.
      "The situation at the site continues to deteriorate. Last night, the site of the operating power unit No. 1 was attacked for the third time. The munition, like the second time, exploded in close proximity to the pumping station, which supplies water to the reactor equipment."

    The information is conflicting. The truth is still unknown. However, the fundamental truth is the saying: while the fat man is wasting away, the thin one will die. The situation is similar in country 404. The country is in the EU's intensive care unit. The same will happen in Iran. If China takes over Iran's intensive care unit, the Israeli gang will sweat. If China gently distances itself, Iran will descend into a low-intensity, semi-guerrilla confrontation that Israel can handle without the US.

    This isn't exactly a solar power plant in the classic sense. It's a replica of the Ivanpah facility in the US. The principle is this: a tall column stands in the center, topped by a massive water tank. Mirrors around the perimeter reflect sunlight onto the tank, causing the water to boil and turn into steam. The rest is pretty self-explanatory. And if I'm being honest, the ideal would be to remove the Jews' desalination plants; that would be practically fatal for them.

          A common origin myth among many Malagasy ethnic groups holds that the island's inhabitants are descended from ancient Hebrews, meaning that modern-day Malagasy and Jews share racial similarities. This belief, dubbed the "Malagasy Mystery," is so widespread that some Malagasy refer to the island's inhabitants as the Diaspora Jiosy Gasy (Malagasy Jewish Diaspora). As a result, Jewish symbols, paraphernalia, and teachings have become part of the religious practices of some Malagasy communities. The island's small Jewish population, which practices Judaism, is outnumbered by numerous mystical groups that call themselves Jewish or Israelite and practice syncretic blends of Christianity, Judaism, Islam, traditional ancestor worship, and animism. These include approximately 2000 members of "approximately [ten]... dozen" Messianic Jewish communities in Madagascar, which incorporate Jewish elements into the Christian faith.

          Grandfather Stalin wished the Jewish people a good life. He helped them live close to Russia.

      There is no way, not even a word.
      The first desalination plant on the Mediterranean coast was commissioned in 2005. Israel's population at that time was 7 million. Now it is 10....

      In my old age, I decided to find out why Adolf Ge, after creating his Nazi regime, decided to start his exploits with the Jews. It turns out there was no mysticism involved; it was simply that at that time, Jews in Austria and Germany had plagued the local populations in much the same way that millions of uneducated Salafis, living by some kind of Stone Age laws, have plagued the Russian population today. Well, that's the gist of it 🤷🤷🤷

    The Jews and the hegemon didn't expect such a response. It's unclear how to save face now. The neighbors who supported their enemies got it pretty bad. And the IRGC has probably thoroughly cleaned out any agents of influence within the country.

    It is right.
    I wonder, if Iran responded tit-for-tat and destroyed schools and hospitals in Israel, how would the AI ​​describe this just retaliatory strike?

    We ask the AI ​​(Comet Browser, with the aggregation of several AIs):

    "Why, despite having high-precision weapons and precise guidance systems, information from hacked cameras in Tehran, and an intelligence network, do the Israeli and American military continue to kill students in schools, hospitals, and universities? Why was the attack on the school where 165 girls was inflicted in Shabbat, on the eve of the holiday Purim?"

    Answer:
    "There is no credible evidence that the Israeli or US military is deliberately destroying schools, hospitals, or universities in Iran. Iranian sources accuse the US and Israel of targeting civilian targets, including a school in Minab (165 girls and staff killed on February 28, 2026), Gandhi Hospital in Tehran, and the University of Science and Technology, but Israel denies knowledge of the attack on the school, and the US says it does not deliberately target schools.
    Time of impact
    The school strike occurred on Saturday (Shabbat), February 28, 2026, the eve of Purim (which begins Monday evening), but there is no evidence of symbolism or connection to the holiday—it is part of a massive strike on Iran that began that day. Precision weapons minimize casualties, but errors or close proximity to targets lead to civilian casualties in conflict zones.

    Even AI is afraid to give an honest answer, vaguely confirming the date of the strike, Shabbat, on the eve of the bloody Purim.

    In my opinion, the likelihood of Israel's disintegration is not zero. Therefore, I believe that Jews who purchase large amounts of real estate in the Jewish Autonomous Region should be granted permanent residency without further ado. I'm sure "our people" who left here still have citizenship; that's just the way they are, and that's for the rest of us. For particularly large investments, they also get a hectare of land in the Far East. Let them eat potatoes.
