Israel-Palestine Conflict
Sources on the fighting in Palestine against Israel. In general, CW for footage of battles, explosions, dead people, and so on:
UNRWA daily-ish reports on Israel's destruction and siege of Gaza and the West Bank.
English-language Palestinian Marxist-Leninist twitter account. Alt here.
English-language twitter account that collates news (and has automated posting when the person running it goes to sleep).
Arab-language twitter account with videos and images of fighting.
English-language (with some Arab retweets) Twitter account based in Lebanon. - Telegram is @IbnRiad.
English-language Palestinian Twitter account which reports on news from the Resistance Axis. - Telegram is @EyesOnSouth.
English-language Twitter account in the same group as the previous two. - Telegram here.
English-language PalestineResist telegram channel.
More telegram channels here for those interested.
Various sources that are covering the Ukraine conflict are also covering the one in Palestine, like Rybar.
Russia-Ukraine Conflict
Examples of Ukrainian Nazis and fascists
Examples of racism/euro-centrism during the Russia-Ukraine conflict
Sources:
Defense Politics Asia's youtube channel and their map. Their youtube channel has substantially diminished in quality but the map is still useful.
Moon of Alabama, which tends to have interesting analysis. Avoid the comment section.
Understanding War and the Saker: reactionary sources that have occasional insights on the war.
Alexander Mercouris, who does daily videos on the conflict. While he is a reactionary and surrounds himself with likeminded people, his daily update videos are relatively brainworm-free and good if you don't want to follow Russian telegram channels to get news. He also co-hosts The Duran, which is more explicitly conservative, racist, sexist, transphobic, anti-communist, etc when guests are invited on, but is just about tolerable when it's just the two of them if you want a little more analysis.
On the ground: Patrick Lancaster, an independent and very good journalist reporting in the warzone on the separatists' side.
Unedited videos of Russian/Ukrainian press conferences and speeches.
Pro-Russian Telegram Channels:
Again, CW for anti-LGBT and racist, sexist, etc speech, as well as combat footage.
https://t.me/aleksandr_skif ~ DPR's former Defense Minister and Colonel in the DPR's forces. Russian language.
https://t.me/Slavyangrad ~ A few different pro-Russian people gather frequent content for this channel (~100 posts per day), some socialist, but all socially reactionary. If you can only tolerate using one Russian telegram channel, I would recommend this one.
https://t.me/s/levigodman ~ Does daily update posts.
https://t.me/patricklancasternewstoday ~ Patrick Lancaster's telegram channel.
https://t.me/gonzowarr ~ A big Russian commentator.
https://t.me/rybar ~ One of, if not the, biggest Russian telegram channels focussing on the war out there. Actually quite balanced, maybe even pessimistic about Russia. Produces interesting and useful maps.
https://t.me/epoddubny ~ Russian language.
https://t.me/boris_rozhin ~ Russian language.
https://t.me/mod_russia_en ~ Russian Ministry of Defense. Does daily, if rather bland updates on the number of Ukrainians killed, etc. The figures appear to be approximately accurate; if you want, reduce all numbers by 25% as a 'propaganda tax', if you don't believe them. Does not cover everything, for obvious reasons, and virtually never details Russian losses.
https://t.me/UkraineHumanRightsAbuses ~ Pro-Russian, documents abuses that Ukraine commits.
Pro-Ukraine Telegram Channels:
Almost every Western media outlet.
https://discord.gg/projectowl ~ Pro-Ukrainian OSINT Discord.
https://t.me/ice_inii ~ Alleged Ukrainian account with a rather cynical take on the entire thing.

Iranian sources tell #AlMayadeen that no external aggression against Iran was launched on Friday. What is being circulated about an Israeli attack on #Iran are lies and are part of a misinformation war, according to our sources. Sources also added that complicit #US media outlets are waging a proxy war of disinformation on behalf of the Israeli occupation. This comes after #Iran's Space Agency confirmed that several drones, of unspecified origin, were downed over Iranian airspace. The agency said that no missile attack on Iran occurred on Friday.

It's a nothingburger. How would Israel even launch missiles at Iran with no one in Iraq, Syria, Jordan, etc seeing it? From a stealth fighter? It's probably a failed attack from the MEK or ISIS-K or some other terrorist proxy.
Malcolm Davis, an analyst at the Australian Strategic Policy Institute, has told ABC News Channel he would be "sceptical about Iran's claims" that it was not an attack or that the attack was defeated.
"I think all the indications are that this was an Israeli attack, but it was clearly directed against military facilities in Ishfahan rather than… the nuclear facility there," he said.
"I think that the Israelis have done a strike, it is a fairly limited strike from what I can see, just a small number of missiles.
"I think the message that the strike sends is that Iran's large strike the other weekend failed utterly due to the effectiveness of Israeli integrated air and missile capabilities, whilst Israel's strike today with a very limited number of missiles has been very successful in hitting Iranian bases there, including air force bases.
"The key question now is, how does Iran retaliate?"
My first guess seems to be right. Iran says that they shot everything down the west says they are lying and everyone goes home happy.
ASPI is funded by the Aussie MoD and should be assumed to be a propaganda wing at all times. So this represents what imperialist Angloid ghouls want you to think, at minimum.
Also, no evidence that any missiles were fired whatsoever

saw lots of reports of warplanes over Iraq earlier
Ship or submarine launched cruise missile.
I'm not saying that's what happened, just saying another way it could happen.
Fair enough, but wouldn't people in coastal cities see them considering this attack was in the middle of the country? Most reports have corrected to saying it was a few drones that air defenses blew up, but there's still a lot of confusion. A supposed "US official" said it was an Israeli attack before the zionists even claimed it, and the media reported missiles for some reason in the first place.
Probably buts it's hard to say, and it depends on when the missiles would have been fired. Early in the morning, people might not have seen it. Assuming it was from the Indian Ocean, it would be flying over area that is isn't as populated or developed as the western half of the country.
Again, I'm not saying this is what happened, just speculating on how it could be done. Another way would be them launching from a plane within Saudi airspace.
It seems israel hit radars in iraq and syria, then send the planes and fired cruise misiles from the planes over iraq. Then the iranians intercepted some bit not all of em, because there was some trembling. these could be the slow moving drones they claimed to shoot down, cruise misiles are slow moving so intersepting them seems within irans capabilities.
