Il Fatto Quotidiano: La versione di Crosetto: “Io a Dubai? Ero in vacanza. Ho scelto di restare lì per i miei figli, chiedo scusa”“Nessun Paese europeo ha ricevuto alcuna informazione” sugli attacchi di Usa e Israele in Iran. “Non hanno comunicato niente a nessuno perché la loro priorità era avere la certezza di colpire un bersaglio ben preciso”. Sono le parole del ministro della Difesa, Guido Crosetto, di fronte alle commissioni Esteri di Camera e Senato, in risposta alle critiche ricevute dopo essere rimasto bloccato a Dubai durante l’attacco a Teheran.“Credevo fosse una vicenda privata, e invece è diventata politica. E non mi costa nulla rispondere. Ero lì in vacanza, ma potevo andare via subito – ha spiegato il ministro – e sapete perché sono rimasto a Dubai? Perché c’erano i miei figli. E ho fatto la valutazione di restare con loro. Ho sbagliato? Forse, se ho fatto degli errori chiedo scusa”.L'articolo La versione di Crosetto: “Io a Dubai? Ero in vacanza. Ho scelto di restare lì per i miei figli, chiedo scusa” proviene da Il Fatto Quotidiano.Crosetti’s version: “Me in Dubai? I was on vacation. I chose to stay there for my children, I apologize.”No country in Europe has received any information about the attacks by the US and Israel in Iran. “They haven’t communicated anything to anyone because their priority was to ensure they could hit a specific target.” These are the words of Defense Minister Guido Crosetto, in response to criticism received after being stranded in Dubai during the attack on Tehran.“I thought it was a private matter, and instead it became political. And I don't have to pay for it to respond. I was there on vacation, but I could have left immediately – he explained the minister – and you know why I stayed in Dubai? Because my children were there. And I made the assessment of staying with them. Did I make a mistake? Perhaps, if I made mistakes, I apologize.”The article “Crosetto’s Version: ‘Me in Dubai? I was on vacation.

#Defense Secy Pete #Hegseth said today the #war against #Iran is not comparable to the #Iraq War — adding the #US will not be caught in the same nation-building quagmire that it found itself in 2 decades ago.“This is not Iraq,” Hegseth said from the #Pentagon. “This is not endless. I was there for both. Our generation knows better, & so does this president. He called the last 20 years of nation building wars dumb, & he’s right.”#Trump #warmonger #RegimeChange #law #Congress #WarPowers

The U.S. military used kamikaze drones in its attacks on Iran over the weekend — the first time the world’s most powerful military employed the weapons in combat — in a message to allies like Japan and rivals like China. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2026/03/01/world/us-iran-kamikaze-drones/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #worldnews #us #iran #usmilitary #middleeast #defense #china #sdf #drones

Il Fatto Quotidiano: Esclusivo – Il ministro Crosetto verso il rientro in Italia da Dubai via OmanLa situazione per il rientro da Dubai del ministro della Difesa Guido Crosetto si sta risolvendo. A il Fatto quotidiano risulta che il titolare della Difesa ha attraversato il valico dell’Oman (dove lo spazio aereo è ancora aperto) e verrà prelevato da una unità del ministero della Difesa omanita. Poi dovrebbe rientrare in Italia su un aereo dell’Aeronautica militare. Crosetto, lo ha rivelato ieri il Fatto, nelle ore dell’attacco Usa-Israele all’Iran si trovava negli Emirati Arabi.Era partito venerdì da Roma verso Dubai intorno alle 15 per andare a prendere moglie e figlie e sarebbe dovuto tornare l’indomani. Impossibile data la chiusura dello spazio aereo in Iran, Iraq e Israele e la cancellazione dei voli. Adesso il ministro, risulta al Fatto, avrebbe deciso di partire da solo lasciando a Dubai i familiari per evitare polemiche rispetto agli altri italiani che pure stanno cercando di rientrare.Non pare informato sul rientro di Crosetto il ministro degli Esteri Antonio Tajani: “Mi auguro rientri prima” del 7 marzo, giorno in cui dovrebbe riaprire lo spazio aereo degli Emirati Arabi Uniti ha detto ieri rispondendo alla Farnesina sulla presenza di Crosetto a Dubai. “Io personalmente non sapevo” che Crosetto fosse nel Paese del Golfo, dove è rimasto bloccato, ha aggiunto Tajani. In realtà il ministro della Difesa sarebbe già sulla via del rientro.L'articolo Esclusivo – Il ministro Crosetto verso il rientro in Italia da Dubai via Oman proviene da Il Fatto Quotidiano.Exclusive – Minister Crosetto returning to Italy from Dubai via OmanThe situation regarding Defense Minister Guido Crosetti’s return from Dubai is resolving. According to Il Fatto Quotidiano, the Minister of Defense crossed the Omani border (where airspace remains open) and will be picked up by a unit of the Omani Ministry of Defense. He is then expected to return to Italy on a military aircraft. Crosetti, as revealed yesterday by Il Fatto, was in the United Arab Emirates during the US-Israel attack on Iran.He had departed from Rome for Dubai around 3 p.m. on Friday to pick up his wife and daughters and was scheduled to return the following day. This was impossible due to the closure of airspace in Iran, Iraq, and Israel and the cancellation of flights. Now, according to Il Fatto, the minister has decided to depart alone, leaving his family in Dubai to avoid controversy regarding other Italians who are also trying to return.Foreign Minister Antonio Tajani does not appear to be informed about Crosetti’s return: “I hope he returns before March 7th,” he said yesterday responding to the Farnesina regarding Crosetti’s presence in Dubai. “Personally, I didn’t know that Crosetti was in that country of the Gulf, where he was stuck,” Tajani added. In reality, the Minister of Defense is already on his way back.Exclusive Article – Minister Crosetti Returning to Italy from Dubai via Oman comes from Il Fatto Quotidiano.#Italy #Dubai #Defense #GuidoCrosetti #IlFattoQuotidiano #Omani #Crosetti #IlFatto #Israel #Italians #AntonioTajani #Farnesina #Tajani https://www.ilfattoquotidiano.it/2026/03/01/crosetto-rientro-oman-dubai-notizie/8309825/

Unconfirmed reports indicate an unusually powerful over-the-horizon radar signal is being detected across Europe, operating on frequencies associated with U.S. primary nuclear command and control systems. Over-the-horizon radar detects objects beyond the curvature of the Earth by bouncing signals off the ionosphere. Such strong activation on strategic frequencies during peacetime is highly unusual. No official statements yet from U.S. Strategic Command, European Command, or NATO. Defense monitors are analyzing the situation.#Nuclear #Radar #Defense

@gary_alderson @eingfoan Gary, great question. MICE as defined in my book isn't a specific individual, but more a set of mindsets that the threat-actor uses to justify their actions. In the example of ideology which is the I, in MICE, adherence to a belief such as that of a nation-state is very important to that specific individual or group. Compared that to those who are motivated by money, which is the M in MICE., Financially motivated threats are typically individuals working together for their own personal gain.
