War on Iran

Jul 26

Addressing the overall strategic situation amidst the new ceasefire.

Critics of the cessation of hostilities continue to express their frustration that Iran does not deliver a “final blow” to the United States, but once again holds back when an opportunity presents itself.

This is a sensible decision. With the Strait of Hormuz now firmly in the hands of Iran, solidified by the extensive mining of Oman’s half, there is no need for Iran to continue hostilities.

Control over the strait is Irans ultimate lever of power. While continued missile attacks would pile on American casualties, and would accelerate its control of the region, it would still incur a cost upon the Iranian people that is simply unnecessary.

Iran holds the cards. It can make better use of peacetime than America can.

While Iranian preparations benefit massively for every day they are able to excavate tunnel systems (both new and damaged) and shuffle firepower, the United States is years behind on weapons production.

Iran both produces munitions of its own and receives tech from allies, while the United States imports more dwindling reserves into the region at inherent cost of its strategic positioning elsewhere (which, in the long term, will come at the cost of its various strategic partnerships; see Ukraine).

If the American side is stupid enough to start another round of conflict, it will only find itself making further concessions when it inevitably folds.

There is no way out of this new strategic reality. Irans current prerogative is, and should be, preserving its people, not only in Iran but also in Lebanon, Gaza, and even Syria.

Israel is watching its layered defences get unlayered with surgical precision. Iran will set the terms, a ceasefire simply allows other parties a moment to realise it.

Should Iran decide it wishes to bring things to a close, the initiative is in its hands to do so, regardless of how much Trump may hopelessly flail.

Patience is a virtue. Trust the commanders who have brought us this far.

Good for Elijah.  I have wondered about this.

I would not place much confidence in the spreading narrative that “America has depleted its munitions stockpile”. This is psychological warfare, and deception and disinformation are integral to it.

Remember how Israeli media circulated claims that the army lacked tanks and spare…

This is the US Safe Route:  An oil tanker that deviated from Iran’s designated route in the Strait of Hormuz suffered an explosion after colliding with a naval mine, according to Tasnim and widely reported.  I found it at Ria Novosti today.

CENTCOM says the US naval blockade against Iran remains “in full effect.”

So far, American forces claim they have redirected 12 commercial vessels, disabled 2 that refused to comply, and boarded 2 others to enforce US blockade.

The US also said it boarded the Comoros-flagged M/T Charminar in the Arabian Sea and disabled the Mozambique-flagged M/T Lavine in the Gulf of Oman after the crew allegedly ignored repeated warnings.

🔹🔹🔹🔹

Trump has temporarily backed off plans to sharply intensify the US military operation against Iran after advisors warned of serious risks, the New York Times reports, citing administration sources.

A key factor: rapidly depleting stockpiles of Patriot interceptor missiles and other air defense systems in the Middle East. Joint Chiefs Chairman Gen. Dan Caine privately warned that resuming large-scale strikes on Iran would “dangerously deplete” interceptor stocks needed to protect US bases in the region.

The White House is also wary of further escalation, deteriorating relations with Gulf allies, rising energy prices, broader economic fallout, and a fresh migration crisis.

At a Friday meeting with advisors, Trump shelved the idea of a new phase of massive strikes on Iran — despite previously declaring the US “ready” for a large-scale attack.

Part of his inner circle, including Jared Kushner, is pushing instead for continued negotiations and heavier economic pressure on Tehran. The White House insists Trump still “keeps all options” on the table.

Jul 24

The silence?  This is the Iranian view expressed by Enemy Watch :  Tracking the enemy military buildup, along with the silence from America and Israel, is now confirming that major strikes are upcoming.

Expressed by Fotros Resistance:  Iranian government sources assess the silence of the past 15 hours as a prelude to the intensification of attacks on Iran.

Expressed by an updated Israeli security assessment:  We are on the verge of a large-scale strike against Iran.

This all could be propaganda, or not.  There may be strategy and operational changes from both sides.

🔹🔹🔹🔹

No CENTCOM strikes on Iran tonight – so far

Yemen though is setting Saudi Arabia alight after the Saudis struck the port in Hodeidah city in Yemen.  Jazan, Saudi Arabia, is still burning after the impacts – the ARAMCO refinery.

Powerful explosions were reported in the Saudi port city of Yanbu, as well as in Samad and Jizan, Tasnim reported.

An air base in Khamis Mushait, southern Saudi Arabia, was also among the targets of the attack.

🔹🔹🔹🔹

The IRGC issued a firm warning:

• We warn the general public of the countries where U.S. military personnel are stationed to immediately move at least 500 meters away from any locations used as cover or hidden bases by U.S. military personnel, in order to ensure their safety.

The public can also report the new locations of the relocated U.S. forces to the official Telegram account of the IRGC Public Relations Department at @ sepahnewsiradmin or through the “Contact Us” section on the sepahnews.ir website.

• The IRGC also struck:

🇰🇼 3 ammunition & equipment warehouses in Camp Buehring, Kuwait.

🇧🇭 The control tower of the US 5th Fleet in Bahrain, causing significant damage.

(Enemy watch) Trump’s inflammatory tweets possibly followed by intense strikes on Iran tonight and continuing into tomorrow night.

This is why this escalation: Commander of Iran’s Khatam Al-Anbiyaa Central Headquarters announces that for now on for every Iranian killed, they will kill a US soldier.  “We have prepared free and direct tickets to hell for you”

Now here is a story from someone that nobody trusts, but somehow I think the story is accurate.

Jul 22

Remember I said a day or so ago that the US strikes are slow.  We seem to have a reasonable explanation for it.  They’re striking either decoys or acting on old information.

Yes, the U.S. has been striking (mostly) useless targets in the past 2 weeks.

They’re acting on old intelligence, sometimes even no intelligence at all.

Meanwhile Iran has been hitting jet hangars, radars, warehouses, barracks, powerplants, and desalination plants, with pinpoint accuracy.

U.S. Official: Iran Attacks Injured “Far More” Troops Than Pentagon Admits

The Hearty Salon… 19 July 2026

🔹🔹🔹🔹

For today, trying to make sense in much fog of war.

This is from Axios, in other words from Israel. Nevertheless this is re-reported from Sputnik International:

Mediators present 10-day ceasefire proposal — report

Qatar, Egypt, Pakistan, and other regional mediators have presented a ceasefire proposal to the US and Iran, Axios reports.

The plan would reportedly halt hostilities, reopen the Strait of Hormuz, and give both sides a chance to salvage the collapsed MoU.

Meanwhile, Israel has been put on high alert and is preparing for a possible escalation into a full-scale campaign within days, according to the report. The US is reviewing the proposal — but preparing for negotiation failure.

Whether Iran would be interested in yet another re-do of negotiations is the question. To my knowledge, they are interested in an end to the regional war, not in another ceasefire to give the US and Israel an opportunity to plan the next round and create forever war while the US is bitterly losing on the ground and US soldiers are being killed in greater numbers than what they report.  I believe Iran is fully and deeply aware of the failures and perfidy of this track from the past but, in terms of optics, they need to be seen to discuss it.

🔹🔹🔹🔹

As reported earlier, CENTCOM does not report their number of strikes any longer. Only from observation and I may be wrong, the size of strikes are smaller, but they announce that they went in to strike more frequently. Time spent on sorties has also shrunk. More reporting paper, more words for the press and fewer bangs in the actual sorties. Iran however is out there every day and every night and again, by observation only, it seems as if missile defense from Kuwait and Bahrain, Jordan specifically with the most US soldiers on the ground, and others is paper thin. Running out of missile defenses? I don’t know but by observation only it sure seems like it. There still is much rumor of a Boots on the Ground being planned by CENTCOM.

💀🪖 Pentagon caught covering up troop casualties… again

A five-day Iranian barrage on US bases in Jordan wounded dozens of American troops, but the Pentagon declined to disclose that information, the NYT reports.

The strikes, which began on July 15, hit a residential facility at King Faisal Air Base and Muwaffaq Salti Air Base. (https://t.me/geopolitics_prime/72456)

♦️ The first strike injured up to five troops at a residential facility, while the second attack damaged multiple Black Hawk helicopters (https://t.me/geopolitics_prime/72437)

♦️ Two days before the deadly strike, Iranian missiles also hit Muwaffaq Salti, wounding about 20 US troops https://t.me/geopolitics_prime/71924

♦️ Friday’s assault led to the deaths of two soldiers and left a third missing. Another US soldier was killed in Iraq on Saturday during disposal of a downed Iranian drone

The episode in Jordan is the latest in a recurring pattern of concealing US military losses.

🔴 In March, a drone strike at Port Shuaiba in Kuwait killed six US troops, but the Pentagon initially acknowledged only five wounded – while CBS later reported more than 30 troops were hospitalized

🔴 Reuters reported that as many as 150 US troops were wounded in the first ten days of the war – far more than the Pentagon disclosed

🔴 CENTCOM has also stopped confirming how many Iranian targets it strikes each day, while the last major Pentagon briefing on the war occurred in early May

🔹🔹🔹🔹

A little chaos in the US. They’ve done a poll (White House) and more than 60% want the Iran war to stop. Not that I believe in US polls, but here are two interesting snippets.

Now that there is a new Prime Minister in the UK, he thinks he can try it on again.  But the UK according to what we get from the Russian side, has one and a half boats and probably 3 soldiers without testosterone! (Forgive the sarcasm that slips through these days.)

🔹🔹🔹🔹

Oh, we have some silly negotiators.

Of course conditions on the ground have changed.  These negotiators want Iran to lose what they won on the battlefield and move back to a lost cause in the diplomatic arena.   The 9th was more or less the time when the ceasefire fully collapsed.    We can also learn a lesson from Russia.  It took them a while before they gave up on the so-called Spirit of Alaska, but when they did, there is since no consideration to move backwards.   My opinion is that these negotiators are a stumbling block in the diplomatic arena and they are now desperate.   These negotiators should give it up and appoint two Chief Negotiators – One from Russia and one from China with required support teams – people with experience and creative in this sphere who fully understand that Trump does not want an off-ramp, so it is useless trying to build one for him. He wants a global depression. Then these negotiators should understand that Iran does not want an unreliable offramp, and so far, the Trump administration has been unreliable.  If they want to stop a war, the ones that are able to put guarantees on the table are the ones that should be involved.

Ghalibaf stated this morning, commenting on US military movements in the region:

🔹”The Americans keep bringing new military equipment to the region while claiming they are seeking to end the war. They have underestimated our intelligence—thinking we have the IQ of their own limited understanding.”

🔹”We have reached the level of mastery in recognizing these American games and are fully prepared accordingly,” he wrote.

🔹”Actions must confirm claims, not contradict them.”  (Unfortunately the negotiators do not understand this).

The US media announces:

🔹🔹🔹🔹

Short update : The World was watching fútbal

CENTCOM completes 9th consecutive night of strikes on Iran

The US military says it hit Iranian command centers, air defense sites, coastal surveillance, missile/drone launch sites, and communications networks.

IRGC strikes Jordanian bases, thanks local informants

Iran’s Revolutionary Guards claim 2 major strikes on US assets in Jordan — and credit local Jordanians for providing intelligence.

What was hit:

▫️ Al‑Azraq region: 20 hangars housing US forces destroyed

▫️ Aqaba Airport: Large C‑17 transport and P‑8 command aircraft targeted and damaged

“We thank the people of Jordan for sincere cooperation and accurate information… which enabled our fighters to precisely target the US army,” the IRGC stated.

Sputnik International supplied the update.

Don’t forget Gaza, the West Bank and Lebanon.  While the world is watching a game, the zionists are continuing their slo-mo genocide.  Chat, hints and signals indicate that should Iran decide to negotiate ever again, more requirements will be added to the original MoU.    Those will be again an immediate withdrawal by the Zionist from Lebanon and handling Gaza.

Has the US been deterred? Iran-US war update summary

Despite the US saying it was going to open “the gates of hell” upon Iran, the attacks against Iran, last night, were relatively soft and weak.

The US only attacked, with limited explosion reports in: Sirik, Hajiabad, Qeshm Island & vicinity of Shadegan.

Iran’s Army (Artesh) says it targeted:
🇰🇼 (2x times) A large ammunition depot at Camp Buehring, in Kuwait
🇰🇼 Radar installations of the Patriot air defense system at Ali al Salem Air Base, in Kuwait
🇰🇼 US military equipment hangars & personnel facilities at Ali Al Salem Air Base, in Kuwait

🇧🇭 Currently: There’s an ongoing attack against US targets inside of Bahrain

Jul 18

OK, where do we even start.  Iran cancelled their responsibilities in respect to the MoU – Formally.

1.‘Effective immediately, Iran is suspending the implementation of all commitments under the Memorandum of Understanding.’

Iran declared a resumption of the war.  They basically redeclared war.

2.Iran’s Ambassador to Pakistan, Reza Moghadam, announces that as a result of the reckless U.S. attacks against Iranian infrastructure, Iran is officially resuming the war.

And threatened that they will now attack civilian infrastructure.

Statement No. 27: Countries Hosting U.S. Forces Should Prepare for a Proportionate Response

🔴IRGC Public Relations Office

🔺The United States resumed its aggression against Iran under the illusion that the country had grown weaker. After facing what it described as heavy military setbacks, it turned to attacks on civilian infrastructure, including hospitals, bridges, railways, airports, ports, and telecommunications facilities.

🔺Countries hosting U.S. forces and allowing their territory to be used for attacks against Iran should prepare for a proportionate response and activate civil defense measures.

🔺Last night, however, Iran limited its response to military targets.

🔺During Wave 18 of Operation Nasr 2, under the code phrase “Ya Abolfazl al-Abbas (AS),” IRGC Ground Forces struck the U.S. Army Support Center at Arifjan in Kuwait, killing a number of U.S. personnel. At the same time, a drone strike destroyed the radar at Ali Al Salem Air Base. A weapons maintenance facility and a drone hangar were also destroyed.

🔺The reciprocal response will continue.

🔺”If Allah supports you, none can overcome you.”

This is a repetition of my words from yesterday:

Ladies and gents, Romans, Countrymen and Gentle Ladies, we have ourselves an incredibly fast moving and brutal war on our hands – fast exceeding and growing to attacking civilian infrastructure without mercy. GO IRAN! We have no working international law and most planetary organizations are laid lame. The world was not ready for this level of perfidy. But now it is. There are clear indications that China is not only building its military as it has done over these years, but actively building war capacity. So is the DPRK. Russia has sped up their SMO, because more war is coming according to most decent analysts. We have to see this to believe it, but the economic fallout as a result of the War on Iran is being experienced at an increasing pace. Middle Countries are still not doing enough to safeguard themselves. We will see mergers of smaller countries and borders will change. The move to multipolarity is not for irresolute wimps 😉

The information will come through as I get it or find it.  So, no real structure.

-Of course the US plays holy and they never do anything wrong.  US strikes on a desalination plant have disrupted drinking water supply to 20 villages in southern Iran’s Hormozgan province, according to provincial authorities.

-Kuwait – the residents there are running.

🔹🔹🔹🔹

We have some updates, this time from Enemy Watch.  It is early morning in the region now :

-In the past hour, Iran has responded to the massive aggression against its territory with a renewed wave of attacks across multiple fronts. In the last hour, Jordan has been targeted four times, with air defense activity over Amman, explosions reported in both Amman and Zarqa, Iranian state media reporting strikes on Muwaffaq Salti Air Base, and casualties reportedly rising to three. Bahrain has been targeted four times, with repeated sirens, explosions, and attacks directed at the headquarters of the American Fifth Fleet. Saudi Arabia has been targeted three times, with sirens sounding in Al Kharj, reports of a ballistic missile strike against an American military base, and additional explosions reported across the country. Sulaymaniyah has been targeted three times, including renewed drone strikes, multiple explosions, and attacks that left smoke rising from the headquarters of the Iranian opposition. Kuwait has been targeted once, with the Kuwaiti military reporting engagements with drones while commercial flights to Kuwait International Airport remained suspended. Erbil has been affected once, with Erbil Airport suspending operations following the strikes. Separately, Iran announced that an MQ-9 drone was shot down over Bushehr. At the time of writing, Jordan continues to be targeted…

The US embassy at Erbil was smashed up.

-In the past hour, Iran has come under a wave of violent American aggression, with U.S. strikes and explosions reported across multiple provinces in one of the widest geographically dispersed attacks in recent weeks. The heaviest activity was reported in Sirik, which was targeted at least four times, including initial explosions, three additional blasts in the Baman region, confirmed U.S. airstrikes near the city by Tasnim, and another explosion shortly afterward. Ahvaz was targeted at least three times, with initial explosions, renewed strikes, and later confirmation from Khuzestan’s Deputy Governor that American missile aggression had struck areas on the outskirts of the city, although authorities said no casualties were recorded there. Bandar Abbas was struck at least three times, with explosions reported twice before authorities confirmed that enemy attacks also forced the closure of the Shahid Mirzaei Tunnel, while infrastructure in the surrounding area came under attack. Qeshm Island was hit at least twice, with repeated explosions reported. Yazd was targeted at least three times, with IRNA reporting five explosions, followed by additional explosions and local reports again confirming the sound of five blasts across the province. Khorramabad was also struck at least three times, with repeated explosions reported throughout the attacks. Larestan in Fars Province was targeted at least three times, with initial unconfirmed reports from the area followed by Mehr News Agency confirming explosions on the southern outskirts of the city. Other locations hit included Bushehr, Choghadak in Bushehr Province, Andimeshk, the Andimeshk-Ahvaz highway, Jask where both explosions and confirmed U.S. airstrikes were reported, Abadan, Kharj Island, and Larak Island, where Tasnim reported that a missile struck the maritime traffic control center tower. In Hormozgan Province, authorities confirmed that American attacks targeted three bridges, including the Shour River Bridge, as well as the Shahid Mirzaei Tunnel, while officials reported 3 martyrs and 8 injured. Later reports stated that the United States also struck water desalination pumps in Jask County, cutting drinking water supplies to several villages in western Jask in what was described as a new war crime. Separately, ballistic missile launches were reported from Tabriz, U.S. warplanes were heard over Askan, and sirens sounded in Al Kharj, Saudi Arabia, home to Prince Sultan Air Base, as the regional security situation continued to escalate.

– Yemen:  Saudi attempts to reach AnsarAllah through Oman face rejection from Sanaa:

Saudi Arabia is trying to reach AnsarAllah through the Sultanate of Oman. The movement confirmed its rejection of all offers made by Saudi Arabia so far, through the Sultanate of Oman.  AnsarAllah is demanding a complete abandonment of support for parties loyal to the Kingdom, with Saudi Arabia paying all compensation and reconstruction costs. They added that unless these demands are met, the Yemeni people will seize them by force of arms. The sources also indicated that Sanaa Bank is rich in targets, while the enemy has no targets in Yemen as it destroyed all infrastructure during the years of aggression led by Saudi Arabia.

-Here is how it started for the past hours.  I see nothing new.  Iran is attacking the usual lineup so far.  I have seen no proof anywhere on the rumors that we saw today.

Jul 17

There are incredible stories floating about today.  We will see. Number one is that the US is rushing more refueling tankers to the region.  The other one is that Trump is rushing a specialist F-16 strike squadron to the region.  And the other is the one that I asked if anyone had real information .. Israel is imminently joining.

What is true though is that Iran is expecting another massive war night.  And it is almost time for opening the nightly board.

Another truth ..

MASSIVE attack by Iran’s IRGC against US-backed Kurdish seperatist groups in Sulaymaniyah of Iraqi Kurdistan region.  The attacks hit ammunition depots as suggested from the secondary explosions.

Then, our reliable friends Pakistan is in negotiations with Kuwait regarding a broad defense agreement in exchange for cooperation in the fields of energy and investment.  Any defense agreement with Kuwait, which has been subjected to violent attacks from Iran this year, would raise questions about Pakistan’s role in future mediation between the United States and Iran.  (Kuwait and the others are looking for a nuclear umbrella from Pakistan).

Iran-US war update summary last night  (These are confirmed and do not include extras, for example strikes on Qatar.)

The US begun its desperate madness attacks & Trump greenlighted warcrimes.

A total of 5-6 bridges in Hormozgan province were targeted:

• The Griveh bridge, connecting Bandar Abbas, Khmeir, and Lar.
• The bridge after the village of Latidan (Kalmatli), on the return route from Bandar Abbas, Khmeir, and Lar.
• 2 bridges on the route to Kahorstan, Lar
• The unfinished bridge, connecting Bandar Khmeir, Keshvar, and Bandar Abbas.
• The bridge in the village of Maro, in the Khmeir county.

• Chabahar maritime tower was targeted (again) and destroyed by the US

• A railway station, west of Bandar Abbas

• Civilian airport in Iranshahr, southeastern Iran

The IRGC says it targeted:

🇸🇾 (Surprise attack) A covert special operations center in the Al-Tanf military base, killing several US soldiers and hitting a radar system & several helicopters, in Syria
🇰🇼 Missile detection & surveillance radar (possibly AN/MPQ-65) at a US base in Kuwait
🇰🇼 Several weapon depots, 2 HIMARS missile launchers, ATACMS ballistic missile storage
🇴🇲 Maritime surveillance radar at the Salama Rocks (Quoin Islands in the Strait of Hormoz), in Oman
🇴🇲 US air-surveillance radar deployed in Oman’s Ghanam area
🇯🇴 Fighter jets (F-35, F-15, and F-16) & refueller aircrafts in two-phases with ballistic missiles & drones. IRGC says several fighter jets & refueller aircrafts were destroyed & several sustained damage, at the Muwaffaq al Salti AB, Jordan
🇰🇼/🇮🇶 IRGC ground forces carried out a rapid drone-and-missile operation against against several positions housing US forces & mercenaries under US & Israeli command (does not specify exact location, but statement began with describing attacks against HIMARS in Kuwait—it’s possible it’s re: Erbil, Iraq)
🇶🇦 Long-range radar system & several US refueler aircrafts were completely destroyed, while several others sustained significant damage at the US Al Udeid AB, in Qatar

—
IRGC announcing the attack on Jordan, additionally said that following attacks last year on Al Udeid Air Base in Qatar 🇶🇦, the US military moved its command centre & transferred the headquarters of CENTCOM from Qatar to Muwaffaq al Salti in Jordan 🇯🇴.

There were some attacks IRGC did not officially announce, such as BAPCO in Bahrain, Kuwait saying its desalination plant suffered damage, etc.

…

To conclude on the 16th, the 6th night, the US bombed Iranian bridges, a railway station and train station. There are reports of a residential neighborhood struck – civilian infrastructure. When CENTCOM wrapped up its bombing for the period of the 6th straight night of BOMBINGS across Iran, the claim is that ‘dozens of military targets’ were HIT. (Whitehouse Barbie announced today with an innocent smirk and a little toss of the hair that the US never bombs children. One really wants to toss rotten eggs and tomatoes at her).

– Most of the following is tentative as reliable reporters are begging for a few hours sleep before completing summaries. Summaries from Iranian military forces have just started appearing and one that is in says; “Destruction of several American refueling planes and fighters with ballistic missiles and numerous drones (Jordan)”. And, Himars platform and missiles were smashed in Kuwait. “During a drone and missile strike operation, several American and Israeli mercenary counter-revolutionary forces were brought to the understanding that retaliation continues”.

Iran Foreign Ministry issues a statement condemning US attacks, its war crimes against Iranian nation

🔺 Iran Foreign Ministry: US attacks are ‘flagrant violation of UN Charter, fundamental principles of intl. law’

🔺 Iran says its resistance does not diminish responsibility of UN, intl. community to hold aggressors accountable

🔺 Iran warns indifference towards US violations of intl. law could have long-term consequences for the world

-And then, all hell literally broke loose with Iran paying back by bombing every US base in the region simultaneously as well as the major bridge connecting Bahrain and Saudi -Arabia.  Watch, Iran is going to take the King Fahd Bridge down.  Locals will travel with rowboats!  Even a surprise sideswipe at Iraq’s Erbil Airport that reportedly destroyed a Patriot launcher and a quick smack at Syria – U.S. Special Forces command center at Al-Tanf, southern Syria. Early reports are that a radar system and helicopters were destroyed, as well as a large number of American soldiers were sent to bags.

Take note of Jangjo’s comments in the commenting section on Trump’s properties being open for targeting now, and the burn rate of Bahrain’s Interceptor missiles that even started attacking one another.

Periol also has a batch of latest information on his latest apocalypse thread in the salon:   https://sovereignista.com/globalsouthforum/topic/chronicles-of-the-apocalypse-17-july-2026/

Mohammad Marandi states that ‘Iran’s working assumption is full-scale war’ and it is preparing for a a U.S. attempted land invasion of Iran.

-Talking about that burn rate (not the reporters, but the Bahrainian interceptor missiles): The United States has approved nearly $2.5 billion in new arms sales to Saudi Arabia and Kuwait as it presses ahead with its military aggression against Iran, reinforcing Washington’s military footprint in the Persian Gulf under the guise of strengthening regional security. The UAE has been given permission to buy advanced AI technology, unavailable (they say) to anyone else in the region. Nevertheless, Iran attacked the money. Satellite imagery confirm that 2 hardened storage facilities & a warehouse at Zayed Military City, in the UAE, were completely destroyed by 5 Iranian missiles.

The UAE had denied any attack occurred and said the fire was due to an “accident”. Those that think that these regional Gulf countries will stand with Iran should rethink their faulty premise. Saudi Arabia has once again bombed Sanaa airport in the pŕevious hours, minutes before the scheduled landing of an Iranian plane.

Trump made a strange claim, saying that Iran released an American prisoner and thanking Iran for it. Iran Judiciary and researchers and media refutes Trump’s claim, saying no American spy has been released from prison.

Iran insists the Strait of Hormuz is under their control. I cannot really say what the state is of Bab El Mandeb: guessing it depends on who it is that seeks passage. International shipping companies are increasingly avoiding the so-called US-controlled shipping corridor off Oman’s coast in the Strait of Hormuz, citing Washington’s failure to ensure the safety of commercial vessels as renewed US aggression against Iran and the reimposition of a naval blockade disrupt maritime traffic. Iran at least gets the very few vessels allowed to pass out alive on the other side. The US is not so lucky – they, and their ships get fired upon.

Ladies and gents, Romans, Countrymen and Gentle Ladies, we have ourselves an incredibly fast moving and brutal war on our hands – fast exceeding and growing to attacking civilian infrastructure without mercy. GO IRAN! We have no working international law and most planetary organizations are laid lame. The world was not ready for this level of perfidy. But now it is. There are clear indications that China is not only building its military as it has done over these years, but actively building war capacity. So is the DPRK. Russia has sped up their MOU, because more war is coming according to most decent analysts. We have to see this to believe it, but the economic fallout as a result of the War on Iran is being experienced at an increasing pace. Middle Countries are still not doing enough to safeguard themselves. We will see mergers of smaller countries and borders will change. The move to multipolarity is not for irresolute wimps 😉

🤔 My assessment of the ongoing Battle of Hormuz is that the US is expending a lot of stand-off munitions in multiple strikes on the same targets.

Meanwhile, the Iranians have once again attrited US air defenses, and are now methodically blowing up US assets in the region.

Third wave of Operation Nasr 2 (Victory 2)

I am using various channel reports for this and will from now on mention what I am using.  This is mostly from channels, PressTV, Tasniin, Al Mayadeen and even RT and IntelSlava is reporting.  Even Global Times wrote a longer and good piece – top of the page, most important space, but this was before today’s happenings and their expert was still on my War/No War/No peace ticket.  That may have changed today.    https://www.globaltimes.cn/page/202607/1365938.shtml

For this coming night, Iran opened the board. This is supposedly the time that Trump said they will open the Strait of Hormuz for everyone, excepting Iranian vessels may not pass.  Trump’s rhetoric all morning with press was unacceptable.

So Iran opened with massive strikes on Bahrain. Here is what Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps stated just within the last hour:

During the third wave of Operation Nasr 2, we struck Sheikh Isa Air Base in Bahrain, destroying enemy weapons storage hangars, floating craft, and aircraft parts. We also targeted the MQ-9 drone deployment ramp at Ali Al Salem Air Base in Kuwait, destroying or damaging several drones.

These strikes were carried out in response to the American attacks on our coastal military positions. We will continue retaliating as long as U.S. aggression persists. If these attacks are repeated, they will be met with unexpected responses.

As long as American forces remain in the region, not a single drop of oil or gas will be exported, and the Strait of Hormuz will remain closed.

Iran’s President Masoud Pezeshkian:

We will respond to Trump’s rhetoric with action, and we will defend every inch of our land.

Iran’s Deputy FM Kazem Gharibabadi:

Gharibabadi, Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs: There is no longer anything called the Islamabad Memorandum

The United States came and violated all of its commitments under this Memorandum of Understanding.

With the action the US announced tonight — the termination of the lifting of Iran’s naval blockade — the United States has essentially cast aside all of its commitments under the Islamabad Understanding.

It has completely dismantled the Islamabad Memorandum of Understanding.

‘Sanctions will NOT force us into negotiations’

I think Iran has taken gloves of and we have ourselves a war.

Shortly after Iran opened Centcom posted this:

There are reports of ‘explosions’ now coming in Iran, but we will give that a little time.

Yemen is still keeping Saudi Arabia busy.  This may be the time where Zionist Israel joins in but I have no proof of that, only Bloody Netanyahu’s ramblings over the previous days.

The Russian Foreign Minister, Sergey Lavrov, says renewed US aggression against Iran is a violation of the MoU reached between Tehran and Washington in Islamabad and harms civilian facilities across the Persian Gulf region.  Such actions close the door to any future agreement.

🔹”Given Russia’s experience with Washington, predicting US implementation of new agreements with Tehran is extremely difficult,” Lavrov said, citing the Alaska summit accords which never materialized despite reaching consensus.

🔹He stressed that past experience has created serious doubts about Washington’s practical implementation of agreements.

This is not a photo from today, but in the previous night.  It is titled as a failed interceptor in Bahrain.

IMG_9748

🔹🔹🔹🔹

The UAE decided to ignore the Iranian requirements for transiting the Strait of Hormuz with what reports say a US warship accompanying their two vessels. Iran warned and the ships turned off their transponders. Iran warned again and then opened fire on these two ships, telling them that they had blundered into a route that is mined. They turned around and so did the warship.

The image shows the CENTCOM strikes on Iran last night.

CENTCOM: US FORCES TO RESUME NAVAL BLOCKADE AGAINST IRAN

➡️ US Central Command announces it will resume blockading maritime traffic entering and exiting Iranian ports on July 14 at 4 PM ET, at the Commander in Chief’s direction.

The reported U.S. strikes on July 14, 2026 were concentrated along Iran’s southern coast and strategic maritime corridor, with confirmed impacts reported in Bushehr, Bandar Kangan, Abu Musa Island, Kish Island, Bandar Abbas, Sirik, Bandar-e Jask, Konarak, Chabahar, and Saravan, while additional unconfirmed impacts were reported in Bandar-e Mahshahr and Jam. These locations are strategically significant because they include major naval facilities, commercial ports, oil and gas infrastructure, coastal missile deployment areas, logistics hubs, and key positions overlooking the Strait of Hormuz and the Gulf of Oman.

Iran’s forces were not slow to respond.

But those that report, were not at all hysterical. I’m used to the hysteria in the reporting channels when the first missiles and drones fly, and yet, last night, it was subdued.

Non-stop firing of cruise missiles from Iran toward warships is being reported, with explosions occurring and being heard in some areas.

Iranian missile response expands across American military positions in the region: Later on, most of these were repeated in a second wave.

Following the latest wave of American attacks on Iranian territory, Iran launched a large-scale missile response targeting American military positions across Jordan, Bahrain and Kuwait, while additional missiles were reportedly fired toward hostile naval assets in the Persian Gulf.

1) Jordan (Highest intensity)
Approximately 12+ reports

• Multiple waves of Iranian missiles targeted Jordan.
• Muwaffaq Salti Air Base was repeatedly targeted.
• King Hussein Air Base was also targeted.
• Large explosions were reported across Jordan.
• Massive blasts were reported at Muwaffaq Salti Air Base.
• Multiple confirmed missile impacts were reported.
• Around 12 missiles were reportedly launched toward Jordan.
• Amman International Airport temporarily suspended air traffic during the missile attacks.
• Renewed explosions were reported later, indicating additional missile waves.

2) Bahrain
Approximately 9+ reports

• Iranian missiles were launched toward American military bases in Bahrain.
• Sirens sounded across Bahrain.
• Multiple explosions were reported.
• American fighter aircraft reportedly operated over Bahraini airspace attempting to intercept missiles and drones.
• Additional ballistic missiles were later launched from Jam, Bushehr Province toward Bahrain.

3) Kuwait
Approximately 4+ reports

• Explosions were reported around American military positions in Kuwait.
• Iraqi sources reported blasts whose echoes reached Iraqi territory.
• Additional reports indicated Iranian strikes on American positions in Kuwait.
• Reports noted that no public missile alerts were activated despite the attacks.

4) Persian Gulf
Approximately 3+ reports

• Iranian missiles were reportedly launched toward enemy naval vessels.
• Iranian media stated the response targeted American interests across the region.
• Missiles were reported launched from western and central Iran toward American bases and naval assets.

Later, strikes on a FPS long-range air surveillance radar and a Maritime surveillance radar in Oman was reported

An Iranian plane has just landed in Sana’a, marking another defeat of the imposed siege.

You might miss Saudi Arabia in the target list. That is because Yemen is battering it. A joint missile and drone attack has reportedly been carried out by the Ansar Allah movement against Saudi Arabia. Initial reports indicate that the primary target was Abha International Airport, located in southwestern Saudi Arabia near the Saudi-Yemeni border. Reports also indicate that flights have been suspended at Abha International Airport and that passengers are being evacuated.

Khatm al-Anbiya HQ

Spokesperson for the Central Headquarters of Hazrat Khatm al-Anbiya:

America’s repeated actions and interference in the management of the Strait of Hormuz have seriously jeopardized regional security, international trade, and the safe passage of oil tankers and commercial vessels. Unfortunately, the cooperation of some regional countries has also increased the risk of the war spreading throughout the region. Accordingly, it is announced:

Following previous warnings, we will not and shall not allow America to interfere in the management of the Strait of Hormuz.

The Armed Forces of the Islamic Republic of Iran will respond firmly to any disruption or threat to the passage of commercial vessels and oil tankers by the aggressive and piratical American military operating outside the designated Iranian route and without the authorization of the Iranian Armed Forces. The actions carried out by the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps and the Army of the Islamic Republic of Iran in recent days demonstrate this resolve.

The leaders of regional countries are warned that any cooperation with America or logistical support for its military will be regarded as an act of war against Iran’s sovereignty and national security. If the war expands across the region, its consequences will affect all regional countries.

Responsibility for any insecurity and the expansion of the conflict in the region lies with America and the countries that cooperate with its military.

The Yemeni Armed Forces have bombed the Abha International Airport & King Khalid Airbase in Saudi Arabia with ballistic missiles & kamikaze drones.

In retaliation to Saudi bombing Sana’a airport in Yemen.

🔹🔹🔹🔹

Iranian Ministry of Foreign Affairs:

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs strongly condemns the American acts of aggression against the Islamic Republic of Iran during the past 24 hours. These brutal attacks constitute not only a blatant violation of the fundamental principles of the Charter of the United Nations but also a serious threat to international peace and security.

These attacks have undermined all efforts made over the past several months to reduce tensions and establish peace in West Asia. Only twenty-five days after the signing of the agreement ending the war, the American administration has openly violated nearly all of the provisions of that agreement.

The American administration has committed the gravest war crimes by attacking Iran’s transportation infrastructure, fishing boats, commercial vessels, meteorological facilities, and civilian buildings.

The American administration has caused renewed instability in the Strait of Hormuz and disrupted international commercial navigation. At the same time, the American terrorist military has effectively turned these countries into a battlefield for its unlawful and criminal war against the Iranian people.

The Islamic Republic of Iran reaffirms its determination to defend Iran’s sovereignty and territorial integrity against American military aggression and any other aggressor.

We emphasize that the origin and source of the attacks against Iran shall be considered legitimate targets for the defensive strikes carried out by our Armed Forces.

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.

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

(All times local — July 12, 2026)
04:22 — 10+ ballistic missiles launched toward US bases in Jordan (Al Azraq Air Base)
04:23 — Air raid sirens activated across Jordan
04:25 — Explosions reported in Kuwait
04:29 — Launches from Iran toward Bahrain

04:43 — New launches toward UAE
04:44 — Multiple explosions reported in Qatar
04:45 — New launches toward Kuwait
04:47 — Initial reports of explosions at Al Dhafra Air Base, UAE

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.

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.
