War on Iran

Jul 12

Oops — See what this means — Iranian Foreign Ministry:

‘We have unfortunately reached a stage where there are not just U.S. bases inside neighbouring countries, but in fact some countries have been turned into a U.S. base in their entirety.’  ‘The Arab micro states should immediately stop letting their territory be used by the United States military, or face the severe consequences.’

🔹🔹🔹🔹

-Iran targets Qatar, Kuwait, UAE, Bahrain, Jordan – of course US bases.

-The IRGC Aerospace Force launched massive ballistic missile strikes in three phases against key bases, command centres and support infrastructure for US troops in the region. The attacks covered key US hubs across Western Asia.

-Israeli army says it is preparing for possible spillover of confrontation, with close security coordination ongoing between IDF and US Central Command.

-US military says it struck around 140 Iranian military targets.  Oman has informed the United States that Iran has rejected proposals regarding the Strait of Hormuz.

-Fars Agency reports that in an operation by the IRGC, the HIMARS systems used to target Iran were destroyed, including the launchers and missile pods prepared to fire towards Iran.  There is photo and video evidence.

-Six American soldiers who survived an Iranian drone strike in Kuwait accuse military leaders of ignoring repeated warnings about the base’s vulnerability and deploying troops without adequate defenses against drones. 

-In response, Washington has decided to resume the naval blockade and military operations against Iran.

-From the 🔻 IRGC:

To citizens and residents in the United Arab Emirates, Bahrain, and Kuwait:

🔻 Urgent Warning

To all citizens and residents of Kuwait, Bahrain, and the United Arab Emirates:

Given the subservience of your rulers and the use of some residential areas in the aforementioned countries for launching surface-to-surface missiles toward Iran, we urge you to exercise extreme caution.

In the event that any missile systems or launchers are detected in the vicinity of your residential areas, please evacuate the area as quickly as possible. Also, stay away from US military bases and installations, and refrain from approaching or passing through their vicinity.

All citizens and residents must evacuate these areas immediately and move to a safe distance without any delay, in order to protect their lives and safety.

We have previously issued clear and repeated warnings to your rulers about the dangers of engaging in this course of action and of gambling with the fate of their people.

However, they chose to continue down the path of blind subservience, making decisions that do not represent the will of their people but are imposed upon them from beyond their borders, in the absence of any genuine sovereignty.

Therefore, they bear full responsibility for all the consequences that will result from this course.

I cannot confirm but reports are coming in that Iran is targeting offshore oil platforms.  It may be the same unconfirmable (for now) — Battles are still ongoing in the Strait of Hormuz between the IRGC Navy and American warships. The clashes are intense, and the sound of massive explosions can reportedly be heard.

🔹🔹🔹🔹

Please know who spreads all the assassination stories:  Israeli Channel 12 reports that Iran allegedly planned to assassinate Trump in Turkey, but intelligence agencies identified the threat and replaced his plane.

🔹🔹🔹🔹

From Megatron:  JUST IN: 🇺🇸🇮🇷 After Iran announced that the Strait of Hormuz is closed again, U.S. military says the Strait is open to all vessels seeking to lawfully transit

A ship tried to pass and was hit immediately by Iranian drone.

🔹🔹🔹🔹

War / No War continues until something disrupts the pattern. Think about it – Who will lose patience first? What event could occur to shake up the pattern? Ready to hear a horrible thing? Lindsey Graham’s death is, or will be used as, a sacrifice to lower the temperature of the drang for revenge. He was a High Priest of War and is a significant chess piece to sacrifice both on the Iran front as well as on the Ukraine front. As simple as that.

This works .. Iranian TV:  ‘This news is so good. I’ll read it to you again.

Lindsey Graham has gone to hell

Latest – It seems this round of US strikes is over; no new strikes reported as of now—except some delayed reporting.

Iran retaliated as follows:

IRAN STRIKES US BASES ACROSS THE GULF

04:44 — Multiple explosions reported in Qatar
04:45 — New launches toward Kuwait

Statement from the Public Relations Office of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC):

‼️The command-and-control center and MQ-9 reconnaissance drone storage facilities at the U.S. “Prince Hassan” Air Base in Jordan have been destroyed.

The criminal U.S. regime, in an attempt to impose its will on the government of the Sultanate of Oman, once again attempted last night to repeat a failed approach by provoking several vessels into an illegal route in the southern Strait of Hormuz. This attempt was halted by a decisive response from the naval forces.

🔹 The U.S. military, the child-killing army, then sought to compensate for this failure by launching airstrikes against several coastal bases and communications towers along the southern coastline. As we had promised, this aggression received an immediate and decisive response.

The Aerospace Force of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps targeted U.S. military bases. In the first phase of this response, they struck key military infrastructure and facilities at the Prince Hassan Air Base in Jordan, destroying the base’s command-and-control center and MQ-9 reconnaissance drone storage facilities with several ballistic missiles.

The continuation of aggression by the United States, which has betrayed its commitments, will result in even harsher responses.

Statement from the Iranian Army Public Relations:
In response to the continued criminal violations by the United States against areas in the south of the country, the Iranian Army has, for several hours, been carrying out drone strikes against a Patriot air defense system, an ammunition depot, and a radar site belonging to the terrorist U.S. military in Kuwait.

In another wave of drone attacks launched by the Iranian Army, the communications system and radar site of the child-killing U.S. military in Bahrain were targeted.

The Iranian Army warns: The consequences of these actions and the resulting instability in the region will be the responsibility of the American-Zionist enemy. Should these attacks be repeated, we will respond with even stronger retaliation.

Playing Yo Yo

Al Mayadeen English – The IRGC Navy announced the closure of the Strait of Hormuz until further notice, citing foreign interference and violations of approved navigation routes.

It said one vessel was fired upon as a warning after ignoring repeated instructions, switching off its tracking systems, and endangering maritime security.

According to the statement, no ships will be permitted to transit the strategic waterway until US intervention in the region comes to an end. The IRGC Navy also warned that any new act of aggression under the pretext of the incident would trigger a strong response, including strikes on additional enemy bases in the region.

It placed responsibility for the consequences on the “American-Zionist enemy” and countries hosting military bases used against Iran.

U.S. Secretary of War, Pete Hegseth:

Iran made a poor choice.

Now, they will pay.

CENTCOM confirms the US is currently attacking Iran in retaliation for blocking ships from crossing the Strait of Hormuz on Trump’s orders. 7.15pm Eastern Time

Lots of reports of Israeli War Minister Israel Katz who claims that the IDF has been instructed by Prime Minister Netanyahu to prepare for an independent Israeli military operation against Iran.

Reports claiming a new round of Iran-US talks will take place next week are entirely unfounded, a knowledgeable source close to the Iranian negotiating team told a Fars News Agency reporter.

🔹🔹🔹🔹

All of these ‘breaking, bombshell, WOW‘ videos and news reports since Trump ‘kinda’ cancelled the Memorandum of Understanding are planted or lifted from CNN. People have to say something seemingly and there is a whole lot of make-up work out there.

You can see it, from yesterday early in CNN and Axios. Planted might not mean totally untrue, but it is planted nevertheless.

Back to war on Iran. There were a very few and weak strikes reported on Iran during the previous 24 hours. The gossip goes it is the UAE but we don’t know.

So far, it is War/No War. We will see how the rest of today and tonight forms up, or gets shot into pieces. Please take a listen to Hudson and Wolff, even if only Wolff and Hudson’s introductory comments, still on our home page, and truly understand the reasoning for both major wars.

US, Iran pause strikes for diplomacy

The US is deliberately striking and then pausing to avoid escalation and let diplomacy take the lead, a US official told CNN. (These people are nuts!)

Pakistan and Qatar are also working to bring both sides back to the table, the report added.  All from CNN.     (These people work for themselves – they are not working for Iran – quote Alastair Crooke and myself).

Status of the end-of-war MoU — Day 20

MoU is dead. I am of the opinion that the MoU was not a bad exercise as it clearly spells out what the Iranian requirements are. These may now change.

• Only 2 provisions are currently being implemented: The Strait of Hormoz is open to ships under Iranian management, and Iranian vessels are also passing through the navy blockade. However, the US president threatened to reimpose the blockade.

• Trump declared the MoU dead. Iran not yet

• The US revoked the sanctions waiver on Iranian oil. (Violation of Clause 10)

• The Omani–American corridor tries to remain active in the Strait of Hormoz. (Violation of Clause 5)

• 115 locations across Iran have been struck by the US, dozens of civilian fishing boats have been destroyed, dozens of people have been martyred, the Chabahar tower and the Aqqala railway have been damaged. (Violation of Clauses 1, 2, 9 and 13)

• The US president explicitly threatened Iranian officials with assassination and military attack. (Violation of Clauses 1, 2 and 13)

• None of Iran’s frozen funds have been released. (Violation of Clause 11)

• The war and occupation in Lebanon continue (Violation of Clauses 1 and 13)

• Iranian vessels are passing through the naval blockade.

• The Gulf Cooperation Council denied that it would make any investment in Iran’s reconstruction. (Violation of Clause 6).

(So please tell me me how these people are secretly in Iran’s court and will build a regional security infrastructure. Wahabis, Takfiris abound).

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.
