War Update Day 9-25: Iran Vs Israel, U.S.A; Operation Epstein’s Fury

🇺🇦Zelensky admitted that Ukraine has fallen out of the global news agenda

The Kiev Clown complained that Ukraine is increasingly losing the attention in international politics.

According to him, against the backdrop of other global crises, Ukraine is gradually fading from the global agenda and the European Union is not yet ready to accept Ukraine into its membership.

Also, no new sanctions have been imposed against Russia and the issue of Ukraine’s membership in NATO remains stalled.

In addition, part of the financial assistance from European countries, which is considered vital in Kiev, has been blocked.

🐻Awwww, things going from bad to worse for the piano player and Ben Stiller’s pal.

🇮🇷| Member of Iran’s Assembly of Experts, Seyed Ali Hosseini Eshkvari, says Iran’s new leader has already been elected by an overwhelming majority of the Assembly.

He says the name “Khamenei” will continue as Iran’s leader.

If it’s not an ambiguous statement, then he refers to Mojtaba Khamenei, the son of martyr seyyed Ali Khamenei.

🇳🇬 Nigerian Army Kills 45 in Katsina Clash

At least 45 bandits were killed during a confrontation with Nigerian troops in the Danmusa area of Katsina state. This clash occurred as part of ongoing military operations aimed at curbing banditry in northern Nigeria.

The Katsina State Government reported this incident, highlighting the persistent security challenges posed by armed groups in the region. The Nigerian military has intensified its operations to reclaim control and restore peace in affected areas.

This development underscores the Nigerian military’s commitment to countering banditry but also reflects the ongoing security crisis facing the nation.

🇷🇺🇮🇷President Putin is personally involved in dealing with the matter of the safety of Russians at the Bushehr nuclear power plant

According to the head of “Rosatom” Likhachev, the situation in the area of the Iranian nuclear power plant continues to be tense but no strikes on the station itself, or on the site where new power units are being built have been recorded.

The evacuation of family members of Russian workers will begin soon.



🇺🇸🇸🇦 Lindsey “Gay For War” Graham is upset that the Saudis don’t want war with Iran.

🇮🇷⚔️🇮🇱 According to circulating footage, the target appears to have been the Emek HaEla satellite station in the Valley of Elah in Israel’s central Judean foothills, near Modiin-Maccabim-Reut in the broader Beit Shemesh area.

The facility is one of Israel’s largest and oldest satellite communication hubs.

Operating since the early 1970s, it hosts roughly 120 satellite dishes and functions as a major ground gateway for global broadcasting, data transmission, and telecommunications relay. The site works with international satellite operators, including SES and Inmarsat.

🇱🇧🇮🇱🇷🇺 ISRAEL BOMBS RUSSIA IN LEBANON

Israel bombed the House of Russian Culture in Nabatiya, southern Lebanon. Russia’s Rossotrudnichestvo has confirmed the strike and says an official statement is coming.

Israel has now attacked the cultural property of a UN Security Council permanent member. A nuclear-armed state. The same country whose technicians ran the Bushehr reactor that Israel also bombed.

Russia has shown remarkable restraint throughout this war, maybe too much.

🇮🇱⚔️🇮🇷Israel carried out an attack on a school in the city of Khomein in western Iran, reports the Fars news agency.


🇺🇸 WaPo | The U.S. is ordering more diplomats out of the Middle East including Turkey and Saudi Arabia now joining Bahrain, Kuwait, Baghdad, and Irbil.

Parts of the U.S. Embassy in Riyadh are “unrecoverable” after a suspected Iranian drone strike hit the building, including the CIA station on the top floor.

A missile was allegedly shot down over Turkish airspace near Incirlik Air Base. The U.S. Consulate in Karachi was stormed. The U.S. Embassy in Oslo may have been deliberately bombed. Warnings are now out for Nigeria.


Tucker Carlson on the U.S. diplomacy trap:

The question Tucker says Americans need to know if the negotiations with Iran were genuine, or were they designed to lull Tehran into a false sense of security before a sneak attack?

“How is that better than Pearl Harbor? How is that better than any dishonorable sneak attack in history?”

He adds that the Ukraine conflict was never settled before the Iran war launched, and now Russia is feeding targeting intelligence to Iran. The chickens are coming home to roost across multiple fronts simultaneously.

The conclusion: whether the diplomatic deception happened or not, the world now believes American diplomacy is fake. And that makes every future negotiation with anyone, nearly impossible.

“It’s a disservice to American citizens. And it makes our future much, much tougher.”


🇮🇶🇺🇸 The drone that crashed in Basra Governorate, seen up close. Reportedly an MQ-9 Reaper.

🇮🇷 Statement issued by the Islamic Resistance (Hezbollah):

At 02:30 today, Tuesday 10/03/2026, fighters of the Islamic Resistance confronted an attempted advance by Israeli enemy army forces on the southern outskirts of the city of Khiam, near the detention center.

Resistance fighters achieved confirmed hits on two Merkava tanks, one of which was seen burning.

During the enemy’s attempt to recover the two tanks, the fighters again targeted the evacuation forces with appropriate weapons, amid intense clashes with the advancing Israeli force.

These clashes are still ongoing at the time of issuing this statement.

🇺🇸 Oh… he mad.

🇮🇷 Iran’s IRGC spokesman reacts to Trump’s claims about the condition of Iran’s armed forces and his claims about the end of Iran’s power:

“Trump is trying to put psychological pressure on Iran through lies and deception. But Iran is standing courageously and with strong resolve against US and Israeli aggression.

We are continuing the war with full strength, and it is Iran, who will determine when the war ends. Iran’s armed forces are ready to protect the oil and security of the region.

Trump started the war by lying to the American people, but now Iran’s responses have left him in a state of confusion and helplessness.

Iran’s armed forces are awaiting the US naval fleet in the Strait of Hormuz and the aircraft carrier Gerald Ford.

The end of the war is in Iran’s hands.”

🇺🇸🇮🇱⚔️🇮🇷 Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC):

➡️We destroyed 10 advanced U.S. radar systems across the region along with a large number of expensive drones.

➡️The enemy’s ammunition reserves are beginning to run out, and it is now seeking a way to exit the war while saving face.

➡️Our armed forces are closely monitoring the expected arrival of the U.S. Navy to the Strait of Hormuz, including the aircraft carrier USS Gerald Ford.

🇮🇱🇺🇸💥🇮🇶 The Epstein Coalition destroyed Qasr al-Abid in Makhoul.

Qasr al-Abid in Makhoul, Iraq is a historic site tied to the region’s traditional architecture and local heritage. Together with the Mudhif, a traditional reed guest house used for community gatherings, it represents an important part of the cultural and social history of the area. These structures reflect long-standing building traditions and the historical identity of the local population.

🇮🇷 HAJ QASEM | Medium-Range Ballistic Missile

حاج قاسم | Named after Qasem Soleimani

Major General Qasem Soleimani commanded the IRGC Quds Force for more than two decades. He was killed in a U.S. drone strike at Baghdad International Airport on January 3, 2020. Iran later named a ballistic missile in his honor.

The Haj Qasem missile reflects Iran’s ongoing shift away from liquid-fueled Scud-derived systems toward solid-fuel precision missiles designed to be stored, moved, and launched with minimal warning.

Key specs:

🔸️Range: 1,400 km (covers all of Israel, U.S. bases across the Gulf, and reaches into southeastern Europe)
🔸️Warhead: 500 kg HE
🔸️Fuel: Solid propellant
🔸️CEP: Estimated under 100 m, precision-class
🔸️Launch platform: Road-mobile TEL

At 1,400 km with solid fuel, the missile can be stored underground, deployed quickly, and launched before adversary ISR systems complete a targeting cycle. This rapid-launch capability is the central advantage of Iran’s transition to solid-fuel missile technology, sharply reducing the time between detection and launch.

Vulnerability:

The main limitation is the 500 kg unitary HE warhead, which is smaller than the payload carried by some earlier Iranian medium-range missiles.

Combat use:

The missile was unveiled in August 2020, months after Soleimani’s assassination. There is no confirmed operational use in combat. However, it is assessed to be part of Iran’s active missile inventory and was likely among the systems prepared during the regional escalation cycles of 2024.

Its 1,400 km range makes it one of Iran’s primary options for strikes on Israel without relying on longer-range missile systems.


🇮🇷💥🇮🇱 Third night in a row we’re seeing Iranian missiles flying past Israeli AD like it’s nothing.

🇺🇸 “I believe upon information and belief… but I believe that he was going to… they were gonna take over the Middle East. They were looking to take over the Middle East.”

Trump went full retard. NEVER go full retard.


🇺🇸 You can’t make this up…

Reporter: “Footage shows an American missile likely destroyed the Iranian girls’ school. Will the US accept any responsibility?”

Trump: “Well, I haven’t seen it. I will say that the Tomahawk, which is one of the most powerful weapons around, is sold and used by other countries. Iran has some Tomahawks.”

🇮🇷❌🇮🇱🇺🇸 BREAKING | Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps:

Any Arab or European country that expels the Israeli and American ambassadors will be granted full freedom of passage through the Strait of Hormuz — effective tomorrow.

Iran is now using the world’s most critical oil chokepoint as diplomatic leverage.

~20% of global oil supply transits the Strait daily. The clock is running.

🇷🇺🛢 Putin on the Strait of Hormuz:

“Oil production that depends on the Strait risks coming to a complete halt within the next month. It has already started to decline.”

Storage facilities are filling up with oil that can’t be exported. Switching Middle Eastern oil supplies without Hormuz is “unrealistic” — it would take years and massive infrastructure investment.

“Consumers need the oil already today.”

📝Iranian Lessons📝
could prove useful for Cuba

The Cuban question, forced many to assess the current situation in Cuba and how Cubans can enhance their capabilities in case of military aggression. The probability is low, but precautions given Trump’s unpredictability make sense.

Back at the dawn of the new “Cuban Crisis”, we proposed the fastest option for Cuba. Russian strike drones “Geran” could strengthen the “Island of Freedom” against the USA, and Iranian experience proves this.

🖍Iranians actively used “Shaheds” for strikes in the Middle East, with high effectiveness due to tactics and modernization (with Russian help).

🚩Iranians struck oil enterprises, terminals, and data centers, causing financial and reputational damage.

🏳️In the range of “Geran” drones from Cuba, US oil and gas enterprises in the Mexican (American) Gulf are within reach. A strike will cause a spike in gas prices.

Also, the largest US data centers are in the southeast and east. Taking one offline will cause a communication collapse and billions in losses.

❗️The presence of “Geran” drones in Cuba opens the door to original use in case of war. Hitting economic targets looks different than military facilities.

And the psychological factor: Americans have never truly fought on their own territory. A drone in Miami would be a different experience.

Cubans have the opportunity to show this.

🇷🇺🇺🇦The territory of the DPR controlled by Kiev has shrunk from 25% to 15-17% over the past six months, Putin stated.


🇮🇷 Ali Larijani on the Strait of Hormuz.

“Trump has set a very specific mission to accomplish.” – Brother Boozeface of the Holy Hangover, Master of Vaguesplaining

Israel could resort to nuclear weapons, and the US can’t stop it – Col Douglas Macgregor to Tucker.

“If a nuclear weapon is used, it will be by Netanyahu and his government.”

So who is the real threat to the world after this?

While the US makes war and the Europeans make fools of themselves-

The Chinese are making deals-

They’ve Just announced banning all tarrifs on African imports into the Chinese economy.



🇺🇸 After Iranian strikes hit THAAD radar systens, U.S. CENTCOM launched a rather comical PR response, releasing footage of interceptions of some Iranian ballistic missiles.

This messaging is likely aimed not at Iran, but at the Gulf monarchies. Saudi Arabia and the UAE, seeing American radar systems being struck, are beginning to ask whether they are really paying for reliable security.




🇮🇷🇺🇸| US energy secretary Chris Wright had claimed the US escorted an oil tanker through the Strait of Hormuz, earlier today.

The IRGC immediately denied this claim and sald it was false, did not happen.

Now, Chris Wright deleted his post and a US official confirmed his claim was not true.


🇺🇸🇮🇱⚔️🇮🇷 New satellite navigation interference was detected off the coast of Ras Al Khaimah starting at 15:00 UTC yesterday, and the pattern strongly suggests deliberate GPS spoofing rather than routine signal disruption.

Unlike standard jamming, which usually causes ships to cluster around a single false location or lose position entirely, this interference makes vessels appear to travel in a straight line toward the Strait of Hormuz even though they are not actually following that route. In other words, the ships are not moving through the Strait, but their transmitted positions are being manipulated to create that impression.

Playback analysis from MarineTraffic confirms the tracks are artificial. The reported vessel movements do not match real-time headings, surrounding traffic, or normal navigation behavior, showing that the apparent transit is the result of false positioning rather than genuine vessel activity.

This matters because spoofed tracks can create a misleading picture of traffic flows in one of the world’s most sensitive maritime chokepoints. False Strait of Hormuz crossings, fake port calls, and other distorted movement data can easily feed bad assumptions into shipping and energy market analysis if left unfiltered.

To address that, Kpler analysts have strengthened monitoring protocols to detect and remove distorted vessel data, helping ensure that market signals are based on actual ship movements rather than positions generated by deliberate navigation interference.

🇷🇺⚔️🇺🇦 Bryansk came under a mass missile attack, with explosions reported across the city.

According to media reports, 12 people were injured as Ukrainian forces struck the city. The likely target was the Kremniy EL Group plant, which had already suspended production in January after Ukrainian kamikaze drone attacks.

The attack was reportedly carried out using Storm Shadow missiles.

it said.

The companies include Google, Microsoft, Palantir, IBM, Nvidia and Oracle, and the listed offices and infrastructure for cloud-based services are located in multiple Israeli cities, as well as in some Gulf countries.

🇮🇷⚔️🏦Iran has warned ‘economic centres, banks’ in retaliation for US-Israeli attacks
Iran says it might target “economic centres and banks” related to US and Israeli entities “in the region” after what it called an attack on an Iranian bank.

A spokesperson for the Khatam al-Anbiya Headquarters, a group described as IRGC-owned by the UN, said “
the enemy left our hands open to targeting economic centres and banks belonging to the United States and the Zionist regime in the region.”
It warned that “people of the region should not be within a one-kilometre radius of banks.”

🇴🇲 Footage shows the moment a Shahed-136 kamikaze drone struck the oil terminal at the port of Salalah in Oman.

🇮🇷 SHAHED-136 | Loitering Munition / Kamikaze Drone

شاهد ۱۳۶ | “Witness-136”

The Shahed-136 forced militaries to rethink the economics of air defense. Not because it is technologically advanced, but because it is cheap, simple, and produced in large numbers.

Key specifications:

🔸️Range: ~2,500 km
🔸️Warhead: ~50 kg high explosive
🔸️Type: Loitering munition that autonomously navigates to the target area and dives on impact
🔸️Propulsion: Small piston engine with rear pusher propeller
🔸️Cost: ~$20,000–50,000 per unit
🔸️Guidance: INS/GPS with reported Kometa-M anti-jam receiver

The cost imbalance is what makes the system effective. An AIM-120 AMRAAM interceptor costs roughly $1–2 million, while a Patriot PAC-3 interceptor can reach $4 million. A Shahed-136 costs tens of thousands. Intercepting it with high-end air defense missiles creates a heavily unfavorable exchange rate for the defender.

Swarm tactics amplify this effect, forcing air defenses to expend large numbers of expensive interceptors.

Limitations:

The drone is subsonic, propeller-driven, and relatively loud. It can be destroyed by autocannon, short-range missiles, and even small arms at close range. Electronic warfare can also disrupt its GPS guidance. The 50 kg warhead limits effectiveness against hardened military targets.

Operational use:

Russia began deploying the system in large numbers in 2022 against Ukrainian energy infrastructure, using the designation Geran-2.

Iran also used Shahed-136 drones in the April 2024 strike on Israel as part of a layered attack that combined drones, cruise missiles, and ballistic missiles to saturate air defenses.


🇺🇸⚔️🇮🇷 The New York Times reports that a girls’ school in Iran was struck by the U.S. military, citing sources familiar with the initial findings of a military investigation.

According to the report, the February 28 strike resulted from a targeting error. U.S. forces were aiming at a nearby Iranian base, but the school building had previously been part of that facility.

CENTCOM officers reportedly generated strike coordinates using outdated intelligence data provided by the Defense Intelligence Agency.

At least 175 people were killed, most of them children.

🐻The whole world is watching as the Epstein syndicate in Washington and Tel Aviv are committing war crimes and crimes against humanity in broad day lights in the name of “freedom for Iranians” or whatever reason for the illegal war.

🚫 The American narrative:

The U.S. Central Command claims that all strikes were carried out with precision and were aimed strictly at “military targets,” and that anything else hit was the result of a technical malfunction—or perhaps some mysterious, unexplained forces.

✅ The reality on the ground:

The missile that landed near Azadi Stadium in Tehran apparently had a different target—at least according to the new logic: perhaps the Iranian national team’s lineup, or maybe the “north stand,” which now seems to qualify as a strategic threat.

“It is within this context of crisis in the international system — where threats are becoming increasingly alarming and unilateral interventions carried out outside the framework of international law are multiplying — that we must also place the American and Israeli intervention against the Iranian regime,”

🇮🇷🇺🇸Iran has served the US an eviction notice
The new Supreme Leader of Iran, Mojtaba Khamenei, 57, chosen by the Assembly of Experts, so far has not spoken a single word in public.

The IRGC is speaking for him. From the start, Mojtaba was the preferred candidate to succeed Ayatollah Khamenei, the man who planned in meticulous detail how to break the Empire’s back.

The IRGC is now showing to the whole planet, especially the Global South, what was lying behind the “restraint” advised by Khamenei for years.
In a matter of days, the IRGC blinded US radars across the West Asia spectrum; weaponized the Strait of Hormuz, sending the global economy into a tailspin; and handed to Washington what for all practical purposes amounts to an intimation to surrender.

These are only some of the most prominent conditions for a possible ceasefire – assuming Tehran will ever trust the United States to comply:

1. Removal of all sanctions against Iran and release of all of Iran’s frozen assets.
2. Recognition of Iran’s right to enrich uranium on its own soil.
3. Full compensation for the damages caused by the imposed war.
4. Extradition of Iranian 5th columnists abroad, and the end of orchestrated media campaigns against Tehran.
5. No attacks on Hezbollah in Lebanon or Ansarallah in Yemen.
6. The dismantling of all US military bases in West Asia.

Let that slowly sink in. Here we have Iran telling the self-described, hyperbolic most powerful military in the history of the world to essentially surrender.

Now compound it with IRGC Aerospace Force Commander.

Majid Mousavi announcing that, “after neutralizing US air defense layers in the region, Iran is transitioning to a new missile doctrine. From now on, no missiles carrying warheads lighter than 1 ton will be used. Waves of missile attacks will be more frequent and more widespread.”

That is already translating, in practice, as the IRGC launching more Kheibar Shekan solid-fuel medium-range ballistic missiles, as it happened earlier this week on Tel Aviv and on the US Fifth Fleet in Bahrain.

The Kheibar Shekan – range of 1,450 km – is road-mobile; ready to be launched from a truck in less than 30 minutes; flies under satellite-aided guidance with a maneuverable re-entry vehicle that executes terminal zigzag evasion at speeds the IRGC claims reach as much as Mach 10.

And yes: from now on it carries 1-ton warheads. That doubles the blast radius and the destructive power of each missile, as much as it doubles, or triples, or quadruples, the US-Israeli Interceptor Hell.

A Patriot PAC-3 interceptor costs $4 million. A THAAD interceptor costs $12.7 million. An Arrow-3 costs $3.5 million. They have all been methodically, serially destroyed by the IRGC.

In practice, from now the Epstein Syndicate needs to use more interceptors – that they don’t have – per each incoming missile to perhaps achieve the same probability of success.

And then there are the Khorramshahr-4 missiles: liquid-fueled, 2,000 to 3,000-kilometer range, carrying even heavier 1,500 to 1,800-kilogram warheads, with thruster-powered maneuverable re-entry vehicles.

We are talking about the heaviest conventional warheads in Iran’s arsenal, launched side by side with the upgraded Kheibar Shekans.

All in name of “Labbayk ya Khamenei”. The symbology speaks unmeasurable volumes.

Humiliation, Not Negotiation

These are the latest undeniable facts on the battlefield.

Assuming somebody in Washington with an IQ over room temperature bothered to explain them to the White House, it’s no wonder Trump is now bragging that the war is “very complete”. Incidentally, that happened after (italics mine) his 1-hour phone call to President Putin, requested by the White House.

Moscow’s read-out, delivered by the unflappable presidential adviser Yuri Ushakov, contains this jade pearl:
“The Russian president expressed a number of ideas aimed at achieving a prompt political and diplomatic resolution of the Iranian conflict, including taking into account the contacts he has held with the leaders of the Gulf states, with the president of Iran, and with leaders of several other countries.”
That’s diplo-talk for Putin telling the Americans some hard facts of life, and volunteering to find that oh so elusive off-ramp.

Assuming Tehran wants to play ball.

According to ceaseless Washington spin, the proverbial Beltway sycophants are urging Trump to “formulate a plan for the US withdrawal from the war”, announcing that “the military has largely achieved its goals” (even though they haven’t).

The fact is that the White House have already asked Turkiye, Qatar and Oman to relay American ceasefire proposals to Tehran.

The Iranian response is encapsulated here:
“Negotiations with the United States are no longer on the agenda.”

Abbas Araghchi
Foreign Minister
Parliament Speaker Mohammad Ghalibaf: “We are absolutely NOT seeking a ceasefire. We believe the aggressor must be struck in the mouth so that it learns a lesson and never again even thinks of attacking dear Iran.”

Which brings us once again to why Trump endlessly bragging about “we’re winning”, would call President Putin as the war rages, and only a few hours after Putin adamantly proclaimed his “unwavering support” for Iran and the new Rahbar (“Leader”), Mojtaba Khamenei.

The answer, inevitably, is Trump looking for an exit-ramp. The absolute majority of the planet, as well as quite a few players across vassal lands, are already blaming the US for the collapse of the global economy.

That’s because the whole continuity of government, set in motion by the slain Ayatollah Khamenei, is supremely confident that they can bring down the Epstein Syndicate to its drenched-in-blood knees.

Ayatollah Khamenei pulled off what may go down in History as the greatest upset in 21st century geopolitics. All merit to his clarity of vision, endurance, self-sacrifice, and the mind-boggling meticulous planning of the mosaic defense strategy, now in effect.

What Iran under Mojtaba Khamenei – and that’s a national consensus – wants now is an unmistakable victory. The Empire of Chaos, Plunder and Permanent Strikes, with its “If I don’t like you, I kill you” ethos, must be thoroughly humiliated.

“And if they are already hyper racist with extreme genocidal xenophobia against a cute Palestinian child in Gaza, imagine what you, the African are to them.”

Lumumba Amin, son of Idi Amin, speaking to Ugandans, is warning them about Israelis who are fleeing the war via Dubai and resettling in East Africa, particularly Kampala. He asks, “should we be welcoming Israeli war criminals in the country?”

He warns Ugandans, especially politicians, business elites, and investors, to be cautious about interacting with these arrivals. He alleges that some Israelis may be former soldiers involved in the war in Gaza and suggests they could pose a danger if allowed to settle freely in Uganda.

“Remember that the entire Israeli society has been radicalized and indoctrinated from childhood with a lot of big bigotry and a lot of violent religious intolerance against other faiths, other races, and other peoples.”

A large portion of the speech shifts into conspiracy claims. He asserts that Israelis engage in ritual sacrifice and blackmail operations, and these practices are part of intelligence methods used to control political figures. He references the Epstein scandal as an example of how such blackmail operations allegedly work, claiming they involve filming people in compromising situations and using the footage for leverage.

“You have seen these tech billionaires in America, even people like Trump, even this lady called Erika Kirk, they are all struggling to appear human in front of people.”

He ends by saying he wants to alert citizens and officials before problems arise from allowing Israelis to settle in the country.

A drone strike in western Sudan killed 11 people and injured more than 20 others after it set fuel reserves alight, Médecins Sans Frontières said on Friday, March 13. The French medical charity said its teams treated the wounded following the attack, which caused a large fire at the fuel storage site.

The strike is the latest in a series of aerial attacks that have struck civilian infrastructure in Sudan amid the ongoing war between the Sudanese Armed Forces and the Rapid Support Forces, which began in April 2023.

📝Heavy drones more needed than tanks📝
On resource reallocation in the SMO

When officials hear military needs, they argue about finite budgets. They say we need everything, but the budget is not unlimited.

❓But what about optimal resource reallocation?
On TAKTIKAR, we showed why mechanized assaults have stopped working. Why not buy fewer armored vehicles that survive one attack in favor of heavy FPV drones?

For one BMD-4M, you can buy over 1,100 unmanned systems. Refusing to purchase a battalion of these vehicles or tanks (not counting ammunition) could free up significant funds.

📌 Assault troops need “Upyr-18” drones capable of delivering mines, not BMDs with “cardboard” armor.
The priority is destroying AFU personnel with drone crews, which heavy FPV drones handle better than APCs, IFVs, and tanks.

❗️This doesn’t mean armored vehicles should be “canceled.” It’s about rational resource reallocation to changing battlefield realities.

Without infantry support, it dies, and there’s no one left to attack (or defend). And without people, tank numbers don’t matter.

🇺🇸🇮🇷The US achieved energy independence and is now using the consequences of its own war of aggression on Iran – the closing of the Strait of Hormuz – to hold the rest of the planet hostage.

In the process, the US has finally and fully exposed itself as the actual and greatest threat to global peace and stability – if anyone wasn’t quite sure yet.

You will see how this ends up openly and completely about energy specifically to China – and more generally to the rest of the multipolar world.

The US is seeking to use its war and its consequences either as leverage over the multipolar world’s economy or a “kill switch” created to try and implode it.

Before that, US planes deployed in Saudi Arabia & operating in the area were flying with transponders switched off (hidden from public).

So we knew they were deployed there (confirmed presence by satelite imagery and ads-b data) but couldn’t track them in real time.

Following the downing of 3 x F-15E in Kuwait, they started flying with transponders on to avoid repeating such incidents.

And then the US planes participating in the war started popping (on flightradar24) over Saudi Arabia, leaving the Saudi regime exposed.

Why Iran Is Attacking Its Muslim Neighbors — And Why the Gulf States Refuse to Strike Back

A Diagnosis of Geopolitics, Power, People, and Faith

by Mohammed Bello Doka
16 March, 2026

The Persian Gulf is ablaze—not with the flames of ancient rivalries alone, but with the brutal reality of a war that has turned brother against brother in the ummah. Since February 28, 2026, when the United States and Israel launched Operation Epic Fury—nearly 900 airstrikes in the opening hours that assassinated Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei and decimated Iranian leadership—Iran has unleashed an unprecedented barrage. Over 1,200 ballistic missiles, thousands of drones, and waves of unmanned surface vessels have slammed into every Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) state: Bahrain, Kuwait, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, and the United Arab Emirates. Civilian infrastructure burns—airports shuttered, hotels ablaze, oil facilities scorched, ports evacuated under direct Iranian threats. Global oil prices have surged past $100 a barrel, the Strait of Hormuz is effectively choked, and millions face blackouts, flight cancellations, and economic paralysis. Yet the Gulf monarchies, despite absorbing these blows, refuse to launch retaliatory strikes on Iranian soil. Why would a Shia-led Iran bombard fellow Muslim nations? And why do Sunni-led Gulf states—armed to the teeth with American weapons—choose endurance over vengeance?

The answer lies in cold, calculated geopolitics fused with raw power dynamics, existential fears of popular uprisings, and the deep sectarian fault lines of faith.

Iran’s assault is no random spasm of rage; it is a deliberate strategy of asymmetric endurance and economic warfare. Tehran views the Gulf states not as neutral Muslim brothers, but as active enablers of the US-Israeli campaign that killed its supreme leader and ravaged its territory. The strikes target precisely the infrastructure that makes these countries indispensable to American operations: Al Dhafra Air Base in the UAE (hosting the 380th Air Expeditionary Wing, AWACS, reconnaissance drones, fighters, and Patriot systems, just 32 km from Abu Dhabi and under 200 km from Iran); Al Udeid Air Base in Qatar (CENTCOM’s forward headquarters, the region’s largest US facility with 10,000 troops); the US Navy’s Fifth Fleet HQ in Bahrain; Prince Sultan Air Base in Saudi Arabia (Patriot and THAAD defenses); and logistics hubs in Kuwait. Iran explicitly justifies these attacks as retaliation for US strikes launched from Gulf ports, docks, and hideouts—accusing the hosts of complicity despite their public neutrality claims.

But the targeting has escalated far beyond military sites. Iranian drones and missiles have struck civilian airports (Dubai disruptions, Kuwait fires), luxury hotels, residential buildings, desalination plants, and oil infrastructure (Fujairah hub fires, Ras Tanura shutdowns, Aramco facilities hit). Commercial vessels in the Strait of Hormuz face repeated attacks, forcing force majeure declarations and halting 20% of global oil flows. Casualties mount: dozens killed or injured in Bahrain, Kuwait, and the UAE alone; black rain of oil fallout in Tehran mirroring the chaos exported outward. Iran’s IRGC boasts of “True Promise” operations, releasing satellite imagery of devastated US hangars, radars, and fuel depots at Al Dhafra, Al Udeid, and Prince Sultan. This is not mere defense—it is calculated punishment: impose unbearable economic pain on US allies, spike global fuel prices, disrupt trade and tourism, and force Gulf leaders to pressure Washington into a ceasefire. Tehran bets that bleeding billions in lost revenue and shattered stability will end the war faster than any direct confrontation.

Yet the Gulf states—despite intercepting most projectiles with US-backed Patriots, THAAD, and allied support—refuse to cross into offensive retaliation. Their restraint is not weakness; it is survival calculus rooted in the overriding terror of internal collapse.

Foremost is the fear of uprising, the decisive factor that eclipses even geography and economics. These are family-run monarchies whose legitimacy rests on delivering prosperity and unbreakable stability, not endless war. Direct strikes on Iran would invite heavier, sustained barrages—overwhelming defenses, hitting cities, ports, and desalination plants that sustain 100 million people. But the true nightmare is domestic: sectarian unrest exploding from within.

Bahrain stands as the starkest warning. Its population is Shia-majority (50–70%), ruled by the Sunni Al-Khalifa family. Iran positions itself as defender of Shia Muslims; Khamenei’s martyrdom has ignited rare protests—crowds chanting for Hussein, cheering Iranian missiles on social media, clashing with security forces. Authorities have arrested dozens for “celebrating strikes” or posting sympathy; viral videos show peaceful marches turning violent with Molotovs. This echoes the 2011 Arab Spring uprising, crushed only with Saudi/UAE intervention. Renewed sectarian fury—framed as Sunni rulers siding with “Zionists” against Shia Iran—could spiral into revolution. In Saudi Arabia’s Eastern Province (significant Shia minority), similar risks loom: protests could sabotage Aramco facilities amid Vision 2030 dreams.

Across the GCC, economic grievances compound the danger. Iranian attacks have already caused billions in losses—flight halts, tourism collapse, port disruptions, soaring fuel prices. Escalation would amplify this: job losses for expatriate millions, remittances dried up, diversification projects derailed. In autocracies, economic pain plus sectarian anger equals regime-threatening unrest. Public opinion seethes—rage at Iran, dismay with Washington, suspicion of Israel. Leaders know joining offensive operations could redirect that fury inward.

Geopolitics reinforces restraint: this is America and Israel’s war, one Gulf leaders lobbied against. They rely on US protection without wanting offensive entanglement. Diplomacy remains their weapon—GCC coordination, quiet pressure on Washington for de-escalation. They condemn Iran’s “indiscriminate aggression,” reserve self-defense rights, but prioritize ending the conflict over widening it.

Iran’s miscalculation is profound: by striking Muslim neighbors, it alienates potential mediators and hardens Gulf resolve. But the monarchs’ silence speaks louder: regime survival trumps revenge. As missiles rain and economies bleed, the Gulf gambles that patience, US defenses, and back-channel diplomacy will outlast Tehran’s endurance strategy—before the powder keg of people and faith detonates at home.

The war grinds on, with no end in sight. The ummah pays the price, divided by power, fractured by fear, and tested by faith in a conflict none truly wanted.

A State Department cable obtained by NBC directed U.S. diplomats to urge foreign governments at senior levels to “move expeditiously to diminish the capabilities of Iran,” warning of growing security threats.

The memo, seen by NBC, says “Iran and its proxy network” are working to disrupt shipping in the Strait of Hormuz and have the capability and intent to conduct attacks targeting U.S., Israeli, and opposition interests. It calls for coordinated international action, including designating the IRGC and Hezbollah as terrorist organizations and expanding sanctions.

Several allies have publicly rejected calls to join a military coalition related to the Strait of Hormuz, according to NBC.

🇺🇸⚔️🇮🇷 Middle East instability and U.S. involvement could continue until September, even if the war with Iran shifts to a lower-intensity phase, according to Axios, citing White House sources.Officials in Washington and other capitals are preparing for a much longer crisis than the initially discussed 4–6 weeks. Some warn that President Donald Trump risks an escalation trap — continuing strikes to project strength even as returns diminish.

A senior official said Iran’s actions in the Strait of Hormuz are hardening Trump’s stance. While the U.S. could exit quickly, Iran could keep the strait disrupted and push oil prices high enough to force renewed U.S. involvement.Some White House officials reportedly opposed the war initially, but Trump insisted on moving forward. Sources say he overestimated his ability to force regime change without ground troops and became overconfident after earlier rapid military actions.

🇦🇪 Since the war on Iran began on Feb. 28, the Dubai Financial Market General Index (DFMGI) has plunged ~22% from its February peak of 6,785 to around 5,250, potentially wiping out more than $43 billion in market value.

“Ah… it won’t be I don’t believe too long. We’re knocking the hell out of the coast… It’s basically the coast and the water.” – Trump

What does that even mean?

🇺🇸 This Financial Times opinion article argues that Iran’s actions in the Strait of Hormuz show the reality of multipolar economic warfare. For decades, the US dominated sanctions and used financial pressure as a strategic weapon. Now other powers, including Iran and China, can use similar tools in response to escalation.

The article says sanctions are increasingly less effective as countries adapt by diversifying trade, strengthening domestic industries, and building alternative partnerships. Economic coercion is no longer a safe substitute for conflict. Prolonged sanctions raise global costs, disrupt energy markets, and increase the risk of military escalation.

In short, economic weapons are no longer one-sided and carry growing global consequences.

🇺🇸🇮🇱⚔️🇮🇷 Bloomberg reports that some regional energy facilities are being evacuated after Iran issued an evacuation notice, following U.S.–Israeli strikes on gas facilities in the Persian Gulf.

🇷🇺 Russia is considering deploying armed escort teams and naval protection for vessels under the Russian flag.

Presidential aide Nikolai Patrushev said measures are being developed to place special defensive systems on ships and to organize convoy protection by the Russian Navy. He stressed that diplomatic and legal tools are often insufficient amid the Western campaign against Russian shipping.

If new threats emerge from European countries, Russia will implement additional countermeasures.

Patrushev called the attack on the tanker Arktik Metagas in the Mediterranean a blatant act and classified it as international terrorism.

The reported strikes are described as the most significant against Iran’s strategically vital energy sector since the start of the conflict.

Iranian state media said several facilities were targeted, including the South Pars gas field — a major supply source for regional partners — along with a refinery and an unspecified petrochemical site near Asaluyeh.

🇮🇷🇸🇦🇦🇪🇶🇦 Iranian media linked to the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps has issued an urgent warning to civilians near the following sites:

➡️Al Hosn Gas Field – UAE

➡️Jubail Petrochemical Complex – Saudi Arabia

➡️Mesaieed Petrochemical Complex & Mesaieed Holding (Chevron-affiliated) – Qatar

➡️Ras Laffan Refinery (Phases 1 & 2) – Qatar

The statement says these locations are now considered legitimate targets due to ongoing regional escalation. Civilians and personnel in the vicinity are instructed to evacuate immediately and move to safe distances to protect their lives.

It also reiterates that Iran previously warned regional authorities against aligning with external pressure and entering a path of escalation. The statement holds those governments fully responsible for the consequences of their decisions.

🇦🇪 Operations at Abu Dhabi’s Shah gas plant have been halted after a drone strike, disrupting one of the world’s largest ultra-sour gas facilities and raising concerns over energy and fertiliser supply chains.

According to reporting by The National, operations were suspended while damage is assessed. No injuries were reported.

The plant, operated by ADNOC Sour Gas (a joint venture between ADNOC and Occidental Petroleum), is the world’s largest ultra-sour gas processing facility and supplies roughly 20% of the UAE’s gas demand. It also produces significant volumes of sulphur, a key input for phosphate fertilisers and industrial chemicals.

The shutdown is expected to add pressure to already strained global fertiliser markets, amid wider regional tensions affecting energy and shipping routes, including the Strait of Hormuz.

“A series of powerful operations by the armed forces in the past few hours with wave 62 of Operation True Promise 4, under the blessed code Ya Ali ibn Musa al-Ridha (peace be upon him) and dedicated to the martyrs being mourned by the grateful Iranian nation, targeting all US bases in the region and gathering points of soldiers and support centers of the Zionist combatants with Qadr multi-warhead missiles, Kheibar Shekan, Emad, and Haj Qasem missiles, has been completed.”

🇺🇸 Donald Trump seems to still be upset about the help he doesn’t need.

🇮🇷💥🇮🇱 Following the killing of Larijani, Iran carried out a retaliatory strike targeting refueling aircraft at Ben Gurion Airport, according to military reports.

🇷🇺💬🇬🇧 Maria Zakharova:

Former British Prime Minister John Major, during a speech at King’s College London, harshly criticized the US and Israeli military operation against Iran: “There was no diplomatic attempt to secure a UN resolution that would provide a legal basis for the war.”

Apparently, John Major has completely forgotten how, in 2003, he described the US and British attack on Iraq in an interview with the BBC as “restoring normal life there”. Not a single UN Security Council resolution in favor of a “legal basis for war” was adopted. Of course, back then, the Anglo-Saxons “made diplomatic attempts to secure” the Security Council’s consent. Only he has again forgotten how they shamefully sent Colin Powell with a test tube containing white powder to the UN building to prove that “Baghdad had WMDs”.

And now, criticizing the US and Israeli aggression against Iran, he will argue that “this never happened?”. Nope. The more appropriate phrase here is the proverbial “and here we go again”.

What horrible hypocrites they are.


🇮🇷 “Israel First Tax” – FM Araghchi

🇺🇸🇮🇷The Trump administration is promoting the Iran war using TikTok-style videos

Officials say the strategy is working, citing massive reach: “over a four day period… over 3 billion impressions.”

They argue the goal is to engage younger audiences and highlight troops: “What we’re doing is not disrespecting the American troops… we’re highlighting… the heroic work… in a way that captivates an audience.”

Another official described the effort casually: “We’re over here just grinding away on banger memes, dude.”

🐻 At least half of these views is people laughing at you

🇷🇺”Kalashnikov” has manufactured a batch of “Kub-E” strike drones for a foreign customer, the press service of the concern reported.

The drone is designed to destroy unarmored single and group ground targets of the enemy.

🇺🇸 BREAKING! Washington Post: U.S. officials detected unidentified drones over a Washington military base where Secretary of State Marco Rubio and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth reside. Their origin remains unknown.

Amid U.S. and Israeli strikes on Iran, the military has raised its alert level. Several drones were spotted over Fort McNair on a single night within the past 10 days, prompting tighter security and a White House meeting on how to respond.

🇺🇸 Trump posted… and it’s a wild one!

Trump says Israel attacked Iran’s South Pars Gas Field without US knowledge. Iran retaliated by hitting Qatar’s LNG facility, not knowing Qatar wasn’t involved.

Trump now threatens to “massively blow up the entirety of the South Pars Gas Field at an amount of strength and power that Iran has never seen or witnessed before.”

But also says he doesn’t want to “because of the long term implications that it will have on the future of Iran.”

He’s threatening to destroy one of the world’s largest gas fields while blaming Iran for not knowing things they couldn’t have known.

ℹ️Keep in mind that Axios reported that the Israeli strike on the gas field was coordinated with the Trump administration.

🇺🇸🇮🇱 Bro… 🍿

🇸🇦🇮🇷Saudi Foreign Minister Faisal bin Farhan Al Saud on Iran hitting the zioarabslaves:

I don’t know how they claim to be fighting for Islamic causes while attacking Islamic countries.

It looks Faisal “forgot” how they starved 500 000 people in Yemen in a decade long war initiated by them…

🇸🇦 Saudi Foreign Minister Prince Faisal bin Farhan said Iran’s “calculations are wrong” and that Tehran believes the Gulf states “cannot respond.” He added that Saudi Arabia “will not submit to blackmail, nor will we be intimidated” and called on Iran to “immediately halt its attacks and abandon its hostile policies.”

Prince Faisal also warned that Iran’s targeting of energy supplies “impacts the entire world” and stressed that its support for militias and extremist groups has consequences. “We will use every means necessary to stop Iranian aggression,” he said, noting that Saudi patience “is not unlimited.”

🐻 Bro… you literally lied about not allowing your airspace for strikes until OSINT nerds busted you
