A couple of snippets to ponder from the very end of Matt Hoh's discussion with Judge Napolitano, just published. In Matt Hoh's opinion:

1. Israel's use of their nuclear weapons may now become more possible than ever before.
2. The US administration is in a no-win situation. If they support Israel's war against Iran, gasoline prices will soar to $8/gallon before the election. And if they don't, AIPAC (the all-powerful Israel donor lobby) will abandon Biden/Harris and throw all their support behind Trump.

Just to add to the irony:

The Indian Navy’s “peace and friendship” fleet, which includes three destroyers under the command of Captain Anshul Kishore, has docked in Iran’s Bandar Abbas.

According to Iranian Navy officer Captain Masoud Beigi, the naval forces of the two countries are going to hold a joint exercise north of the Hormuz Strait.

He noted that the Indian forces on board the visiting combat and training fleet will also tour the cultural and recreational sites of Bandar Abbas during their four-day stay in Iran.

The Iranian commander said such reciprocal visits would strengthen the friendly relations between the navies of the two countries.

Indians are walking around enjoying delicious Iranian desserts. Netanyahu says he's going to handle all their commerce. This is unnecessary, as they are perfectly well hooked up to Iran. His dream is not looking possible.

Personally I don’t think nuclear warheads would happen.

Something higher would intervene. Even if we don’t hear about it. They will have the final say.

I think we are being watched more than many imagine.

ECONOMIC CONFIDENCE MODEL for IRAN :


"QUESTION: Mr. Armstrong, can you give me an update on Iran? Your target for war was October. Here it is, October first, no less. Do you still see the war extending into 2027?


ANSWER : For the next two weeks, this should intensify. This will escalate into 2027, and I do not see a diplomatic solution as possible. This is all just coming to a head. Iran is moving into its peak due in 2027. The reorganization appears to be coming by mid-2031.

The computer projected October in both Iran and Israel, so beware that volatility will rise in December/January when the halfway mark of this Iran ECM cycle is reached heading into 2027. The first quarter of 2025 does not look very good globally. We will address this at the WEC. There will be streaming. Over 40 countries have already signed up, which exceeds our normal 37 countries for the WEC.

The real question is whether Iran has yielded to the Arab world. Or has Iran gotten approval from Russia because Europe wants World War III? Even the Latvian President Edgars Rinkēvičs has called for a harder line on Russia and keeps up the nonsense that Russia is afraid of NATO and will not attack in the traditional sense."

Iranian media claims that the missile attack destroyed 20 Israeli fifth-generation F-35 fighter jets and a “large number” of Israeli tanks in the Gaza Strip!!

"On the brink" is the new "safe and effective".

What we are witnessing is the baptism by fire of the multi-polar world.

“ï” “hope” “you” “are” “right”, Viking. The very fact that such words mean anything implies that essence (Names and Persons) has not been destroyed. When Names and Persons are nuclearly exploded however, their names do not mean anything any longer.

No.
They did however, kill a Palestinian in the West Bank and another landed in Jordan. It goes to show that Iran are indiscriminately attacking.

[pyrangello]

I thought Israel was only going into the gaza strip for 2 weeks after they got attacked last october, Its been what 8 months of bombing and killing. I've sent inquiries to some in congress and the senate here in states, forget about Biden , he's at the beach . Asked them you give money to Israel and then you give money to Iran , then they ask the Americans to take sides while there killing each other . What kind of crazy leaders gives money to both sides so they can fight each other. There all insane. I'm embarrassed to be an american and be funding all this. Bring on Trump, I liked 4 years of Peace. amen.

I doubt Netanyahu would deploy nuclear weapons, especially after his recent speech to the Iranian people. Should that happen, then the world will never go back.

[Michel Leclerc]

To quote another “mantra”: they will immediately deploy them when they see an “existential threat”.

5,000 strategic miles depth in Russia, 50 in the Zionist antisemitic entity.

They may soon get there and they may soon act so. In their quality of anti-indo-european (antiaryan?) entity.

For those following this situation closely (yes, everyone who's posted here, as well as all our guests and non-posting members), this is a MUST-LISTEN update from Pepe Escobar. Do trust me on this.

I have very limited internet access just this moment, so that prevents me from offering a detailed summary of everything he explains. I'll do that tomorrow if I can, but there's always the chance that things may have moved on so very quickly that even that may be redundant.

Pepe Escobar : The Resistance Rages

This was a bit unexpected:


Islamic Resistance launched a salvo of Fadi 4 missiles at the Sde Dov air base in the suburbs of Tel Aviv: statement


and:


Footage published on social media shows that the Iranian missiles successfully hit the Israeli regime's Tel Nof Airbase near Tel Aviv.


It appears to be around 80% strike rate, practically all on military installations, with relatively little collateral damage.

Just saying. A few days ago we noted that an IRI 15 kg drone was not much of a scratch wound. Then someone used Fadi-3 which we have never heard of. If the above is correct, IRI has made the jump from firecrackers to real weapons. We might guess that model trades out some warhead to be able to go long range, even so, one would expect it to be far worse than that small drone.

As far as knowing the results, it might not get much clearer than multiple impacts were observed in several places.

Whatever happens matters less than the reaction of the mass of settlers and the "state of the union".

Thinking of what may have been eaten, the showpiece was Fattah:


Its terminal speed is Mach 13 to 15 (16,000 to 18,500 kilometers per hour), three times faster than the lower limit of hypersonic speed (Mach 5).

This speed, along with movable nozzles that allow the missile to maneuver in all directions both in and out of the Earth's atmosphere, makes it immune to interception by all existing anti-missile systems.


The concession for its blinding speed is that the warhead is about 200 kg.

So it was served with something more substantial. Ghadr uses a 650 kg charge and is accurate to 100-300m, while Emad is a "precision" version capable of 50m accuracy.

The following has been said.




He added that the Mossad headquarters, Nevatim Airbase, and Hatzerim Airbase were the targets.

Also, in this operation, the strategic radars, as well as the gathering centers of tanks, personnel carriers, and personnel of the Zionist regime in the area around Gaza, which were responsible for the massacre of the people of Gaza, were targeted, he further noted, adding, "In this operation, the economic and industrial infrastructure of the regime was not targeted, their people were not targeted, while this was completely possible."

"If the Zionist regime, which has reached (the level of) madness, is not controlled by the United States and Europe and wants to continue such crimes or take action against our sovereignty and territorial integrity, tonight's operation will be repeated on a much larger scale and all their infrastructures will be hit," Bagheri warned.

[shaberon]

I misunderstood what I posted earlier. It is not IRI that was taking part in "Khaybar Operations", it is just the same name, Islamic Resistance, that is in the field with Hezbollah so that is how they are using Fadi-4.


Here comes a new type of free press conference:

TEHRAN, Sep. 30 (MNA) – Tehran-based Mehr News Agency (MNA) will hold an International Conference on 'Narrative of Storm, Media, Gaza Genocide and Global Awakening’.

The international Conference on “Narrative of Storm, Gaza Genocide and the Global Awakening” will be hosted by Mehr news agency concurrent with one-year anniversary of Al-Aqsa Storm Operation.

The key speakers of the conference are as follows, Seyyed Mojtaba Abtahi Secretary General of the International Conference for Support of Palestine, Mohammad Mehdi Rahmati CEO of Mehr News Agency (MNA) and Mehr Media Group which includes English-Language daily Tehran Times, Khaled Qaddoumi Representative of Hamas Resistance Movement in Tehran, Nasser Abu Sharif Representative of the Palestinian Islamic Jihad Movement in Iran and Ms. Marziyeh Hashemi Documentarian and Anchor of Press TV Network in Tehran.

The international conference will be held with the participation of reporters and correspondents from Russia’s RIA NOVOSTI news agency, Yemeni-based Al-Masirah News Network, Turkish TRT TV Network, Lebanon’s U News news agency, Palestine Al-Yom (Palestine Today), Iraqi Al-‘Ahd News Network, Afghanistan’s Tamaddon (Civilization) TV network, and Iraq’s Afaq TV network.

The international conference will start at 9:00 a.m. and will close at 11:00 a.m. on Wednesday October 02 at the following address: Artistic & Cultural Bureau, near Hafez St., Somayyeh Ave., Tehran - Iran.

Similarly:

“...Israel might be able to bamboozle the world by show[ing] off its operations that don't have significant strategic value and are mostly for the public opinion, for the amusement of public opinion and in order to restore faith in their crumbling regime. But, that doesn't scare the Iranians nor does it scare the Lebanese, most certainly not Hamas and the Palestinians who are fighting for liberation from this apartheid ethno-state,” said Ehsan Safarnejad, an Iranian-based journalist who joined Sputnik’s Fault Lines on Tuesday.

Iranian First Vice President of Iran Mohammad Reza Aref said on Monday that the country intends to “seriously strengthen” relations with Moscow, as well as resolve controversial issues in cooperation with each other, Sputnik reported on Monday.

"In the new government, we insist on a pragmatic approach and aim to introduce negotiations and ensure that the concluded agreements would be implemented in practice in the near future," Aref said. Russian Prime Minister Mikhail Mishustin added that Russia is interested in taking cooperation with Iran to a “higher level”.

“The relations between Iran and Russia are of a complicated nature... But, I can say for certain that the US’ aggression to both countries has driven them very, very close to one another. To the point that I would say that Iran and Russia are now on the verge of becoming strategic partners.”

I'd like to comment on a couple of posts above.

Post #6111: "(Iran's missiles") did however, kill a Palestinian in the West Bank and another landed in Jordan. It goes to show that Iran are indiscriminately attacking."
Not at all. It's most likely that Israel's missile defense system is hitting some of the incoming Iranian missiles, which inevitably results in debris that unpredictably fall on civilian areas.

Post #6112: "... you (US congress) give money to Israel and then you give money to Iran...". ... "Bring on Trump, I liked 4 years of Peace."
My understanding is that USA froze Iranian assets decades ago, but eventually unfroze those assets so that Iran could regain access to their property. Nothing was actually 'given' to Iran. As for Trump, during his presidency he did an extremely provocative assassination of Iranian general Soleimani, by luring him into a 'peace' mission in Iraq, of all things. Also Trump is currently under the delusion that that Iran was responsible for his recent assassination attempt(s), although all indications are that the would-be assassins have no connection to Iran.

Trump supporters really need to admonish Trump about his 'Israel first' policies.
