War on Iran

We have to restart this thread as stike/counterstrike moves fast.

Fast Background

Strait of Hormuz escalation with Donald Trump declaring the MoU with Iran is dead at the NATO summit and vowed more attacks on Iran.

The pretext, Iran shot at ships transiting the Straight of Hormuz outside of the Iranian defined shipping land.

The US hit Iran with bombs starting late Tuesday night/early Wednesday morning Iranian time.

Trump’s Wednesday strikes doubled the size of the ones he ordered on Tuesday

Iran, in response, launched ballistic missiles and drones at US bases in “Arifjan” and “Ali Al-Salem” in Kuwait, and “Jafir” and “Sheikh Isa” in Bahrain as a first phase response.

At the time of writing, Iran again is hitting bases in Jordan, one of which is the Mufaql Al-Sulati base in Jordan, which houses US forces.  There are going Iranian drone attacks against Kurdish opposition groups and U.S. military assets in Iraq’s Kurdistan region.

Thursday (today) marks the final day of the funeral processions for Ayatollah Sayyed Ali Khamenei in Mashhad.  Iran suspended passenger train services on the Tehran-Mashhad route on July 9th after US attacks deliberately targeted and damaged a section of the railway line used by thousands of visitors and mourners to the last part of the funeral.

Another bridge was hit during the US’s first strikes but the story is questioned.

Iranian society is pressurizing leaders to finally withdraw from the MoU. The US has violated almost every section of the MoU as well as reinstating oil sanctions on Iran.  The MoU is good for something though, as it spells out Iranian requirements.

There is ongoing heavy clashes in the strait of Hormuz. A wave of drones and missiles were fired towards American warships and vessels in the Strait of Hormuz.

There is little activity in the Strait of Hormuz and the very few vessels transiting, adhere to Iran’s PGSA protocols.

Iranian Jets are patrolling the venue of the final burial of Ayatollah Sayyed Ali Khamenei as the US may strike.  Iran has deployed thousands of special forces to the border with Iraqi Kurdistan.  ‘If the Kurdish groups, with backing of the U.S. and Israel, try to infringe on Iranian sovereignty, we will not only push them back—we will establish a security zone of several kilometers’

There are ongoing communique from the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps: and from the Army.  After the funeral is over we will have clarity from Iranian leaders.

“IRGC says that it smashed the enemy’s command-and-control center in West Asia and the enemy’s air base in Al-Azraq, with 10 ballistic missiles, while warning: should the US military repeat its aggression, other US bases in the region will not be safe from the force’s heavy fire.”

Iran’s Army: “We targeted Patriot systems in Kuwait, satellite radar installations in Qatar, and U.S. military fuel depots in Bahrain with a large-scale barrage of various attack drones.”

🔺 “We will not allow the goals and aspirations of the foolish U.S. President to be realized under any circumstances and will defend the Islamic Revolution’s ideals until final victory.”

Just now:  🔺Explosions and air raid sirens in Bahrain, Jordan, Iraqi Kurdistan and Victoria Base (Near Baghdad International Airport)

Iran has struck the American base “Victory” in Iraq.
