Israel vs Palestine/Lebanon/Iran/Yemen/Syria: a New Middle East War

[Ravenlocke]

BREAKING: Sri Lanka just made its most consequential geopolitical decision in a generation. It granted IRINS Bushehr permission to dock at Trincomalee.

Understand what Trincomalee is. It is not a secondary port chosen for discretion. It is one of the finest deep-water natural harbors on earth. The British Empire considered it the most strategically vital naval anchorage in the entire Indian Ocean, second in Asia only to Singapore. During the Second World War, the Japanese bombed Trincomalee in April 1942 in the same raid that destroyed HMS Hermes. It is the port that any power wishing to project naval force across the Bay of Bengal and into the Indian Ocean wants access to. India has been quietly seeking closer strategic arrangements with Trincomalee for years. The United States uses the broader Sri Lankan maritime space as a transit zone. China has made significant infrastructure investments in Colombo Port.

Sri Lanka is now allowing an Iranian Navy vessel to dock there, forty-eight hours after a US submarine sank another Iranian Navy vessel forty kilometers off Galle, in what American officials are calling the first torpedo kill since World War Two.

The conditions attached to the approval are the tell. Passengers are to be evacuated and transferred to Colombo before the vessel proceeds to Trincomalee. The sequencing, crew off the ship, then ship into the harbor, is the signature of a government trying to perform a humanitarian act while minimizing the military profile of what it is hosting. Sri Lanka is attempting to receive the crew without receiving the warship. Whether that distinction survives American, Indian, and Israeli intelligence scrutiny is a separate question.

The approval arrives after what the Sri Lankan Parliament described as an eleven-hour delay that preceded the sinking of IRIS Dena. The political pressure on Colombo to not repeat that outcome is now explicit and documented. Opposition MPs named the delay in Parliament. The Foreign Minister acknowledged the distress call timeline. Sri Lanka could not deny IRINS Bushehr without the denial being read, in Colombo and in Tehran and in every neutral capital watching this war, as a second contribution to the death of Iranian sailors.

This decision will cost Sri Lanka something. Washington will not view the docking of an Iranian Navy vessel at Trincomalee during an active US military campaign against Iran as a neutral humanitarian act. It will be registered as a positioning decision regardless of how Colombo frames it. The question Sri Lanka’s government was weighing overnight was not whether to incur a cost. It was which cost was survivable.

Forty-eight hours ago Sri Lanka was a bystander. Today it is a party.

The Indian Ocean theater has its first neutral-state-turned-participant. It will not be the last.

Yesterday, I noticed Israel media reporting boots on the ground in Iran with IDF, Mossad and US Special Forces. I didn’t give it much credibility

Now, posts are reporting the US military carried out a parachute op on an Iran nuclear facility with forces either captured or killed

US Special Forces Carry Out Landing Inside Iranian Territory:
And the Operation That Was Supposed to Be Secret Has Been Exposed

The Incoming Information... About a Secret Ground Operation Executed by Units from US Special Forces (Delta Force or Navy SEALs) Deep Inside Iranian Territory (Likely in the Outskirts of Tehran or Near a Fortified Nuclear Facility Like "Fordow").

▪️The Reports Speak of "An Entire Platoon Falling into a Well-Laid Ambush" or Coming Under Attack That Led to a Large Number of Killed and Wounded Among the Elite Ranks, and There Are Serious Fears of Captives Falling into the Hands of the Iranian Guard.

The Incident Area Is Now Witnessing Hysterical and Continuous Shelling The Information Currently Is Extremely Scarce

Emirati billionaire Khalaf Ahmad Al Habtoor slams President Trump:

“Who gave you the authority to drag our region into a war with Iran? And on what basis did you make this dangerous decision?”

“Who gave you permission to turn our region into a battlefield?”

While Al Habtoor is not speaking on behalf of the government nor is he a member of any of the ruling families, it is very difficult to imagine someone as shrewd as him posting this if he thought it would anger anyone in the government.

⭕️ NEW: More schools struck and damaged in U.S.–Israeli strikes on Iran

Missiles hit two schools in the town of Parand, southwest of Tehran, according to the state-affiliated Fars News Agency. The Israeli military said Thursday it had begun a “large-scale wave of strikes against infrastructure” in Tehran.

The campaign has drawn comparisons to Israel’s “Dahiya doctrine,” a strategy associated with the 2006 Lebanon war that calls for “disproportionate force” and large-scale destruction of infrastructure in areas linked to hostile groups to pressure civilians and create deterrence.

Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz has referred to the current campaign in Tehran as the “Tornado Plan.” Read more about that in the post linked in reply

A new Syrian resistance faction just stepped onto the field. Jund al-Karrar, “Soldiers of Karrar,” invoking Imam Ali (AS) , released footage of its first operation in support of the Islamic Republic. The group says it targeted the Tower 22 base at the Jordan–Iraq–Syria junction with a drone strike and claims the hit was successful.

Operation Epstein Denial - Trump in panic - 💀 💀
Zionist Donald J Trump has asked Italy to beg Iran for a cease fire, US ammo running low. Hell no. Iran will not negotiate with US. Heavy US base and Israeli punishment continues. May Almighty GOD grant justice to the Persian and Palestinian people.

US soldiers coming home in body bags. Over 160 innocent little Iranian girls murdered in their Minab elementary school during another US sneak attack during negotiations for peace. Another 40 girls in a nearby gymnasium. They were all murdered needlessly by missiles from the genocidal child-killing Israelis or possibly by missiles from a destroyer in the USS Lincoln Strike Group in the Sea of Oman.
Eight (hundreds?) dead American (cannon fodder for genocidal Zionists) troops so far.
"Sadly, there will likely be more before it ends, that is the way it is." (Donald J Trump)
The way it is when you begin an illegal war of naked aggression without the permission of the US Congress House and Senate.

It was followed by a B-52H.

The B-52H is capable of carrying a AGM-86B nuclear air launched cruise missile (NALCM).

Former IRGC Aerospace Commander, Martyr Hajizadeh:

“This missile (Khorramshahr-4) when launched, is only a single missile which targets 80 spots with 80 submunitions.

If we launch 100 of these missiles, we can impact 8000 hits.”
