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

[thirtythree]

Speaking of possible false-flags,

WASHINGTON: A Pakistani man accused of planning to kill President Donald Trump told jurors on Wednesday that he did not willingly work with Iran’s elite Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps to devise the plot, media said.

From a Ms Trevian Kutte on X quoting Israeli journalist Alon Mizrahi. I'd observed the same thing regarding network 'coverage'. 36 years ago we had TV in our staff canteen area showing near ceaseless footage of Iraq being bombed - near ceaseless courtesy CNN:

________________________________

🚨MUST READ!!! ISRAELI JOURNALIST GIVES FULL ACCOUNT ON WAR! THIS IS WHY OUR GOVT IS CENSORING US:

Israeli journalist, Alon Mizrahi:
"We are witnessing history. Iran is, to the surprise of everyone, ****ing up US bases so thoroughly and extensively and so decisively that the world isn’t ready to see it."

"In 4 days, Iran has managed to expand its scope of military domination in the region. Iran has destroyed the most precious, most expensive military bases, assets and equipment in the whole world. American bases in Bahrain and Kuwait and Qatar and Saudi Arabia are some of the biggest military installations in the entire world. These are assets that took trillions to build over the course of several decades. We’re talking a major chunk of military expenditure for over 30 years, going up in smoke.

We are seeing radars costing hundreds of millions of dollars a piece being destroyed in an instant. We are seeing entire military bases being abandoned and burned, decimated and destroyed. And I’m telling you from my knowledge, the US has never suffered such devastation in its entire history, except maybe Pearl Harbor but that was one attack.

No enemy in a normal war has done to the US military what the Iranians are doing to the US military right now. This defies belief. The military situation is so bad that censorship blocks practically every piece of new information about this war. If you’ve noticed we’re being exposed to less and less every day.

Thirty-five years ago during the first Iraq war, we were being shown endless footage from Iraq. The smart bombs and the cameras were a novelty back then, but every night we were being shown night footage. Now we are seeing almost no video.

Understand this! This is supposedly the worlds biggest military power having the worlds biggest air capabilities and for 4 days when the US is on the offensive, supposedly and is supposed to be breaking through Iranian defenses we are seeing NO signs of American domination over Iranian skies. Where is all the footage of our planes flying over Tehran or any part of Iran for that matter?

American soldiers can not even dream of setting foot in Iran. And to understand how desperate this war is, that on the 4th day you’re already hearing the craziest suggestions and ideas from the Trump administration. They are suggesting to send military escorts for oil carrying vessels coming out of the Persian gulf. What are you even talking about?! You want to send American ships into the range of thousands of Iranian missiles? NO ONE can pass through the strait of Hormuz right now.

The Iranians have been preparing for this for decades. They’re flaunting this idea of arming Kurdish militias to invade Iran. What the **** are you talking about? Have you seen a map of Iran?! It seems like the Trump administration has never seen a map of Iran! Do you know how massive it is? What do you mean invade Iran?! You think a 10,000 man militia can invade Iran?! Or even 50,000?! Or 100,000?! Iran will swallow them.

The US and Israel have already lost this war. The US and Israel can kill millions of civilians in their homes. They have huge bombs and can explode buildings, but they will not win this war. Iranians military infrastructure and weaponry is so far underground ALL OVER IRAN. There is no way for the Americans and definitely not the Israelis to reach any of it. They are ****ED.

They have started something they have no chance of bringing to an end. When this is over the US will never come back to West Asia. There will be no American presence in the Middle East. I’m telling you this now with certainty.”

Something Huge Just ERUPTED in the Middle East...And It Will END Iran!!!

So what are we actually seeing here?

You're watching a regime being methodically surrounded. The air war is degrading Iran's conventional military capacity by the hour. The Kurdish ground offensive is forcing Thrron to divert scarce forces to its western mountains and confront its own restless Kurdish population and Azarbaijan's mobilization on the northern frontier combined with millions of ethnic Azeris inside Iran and now an Iranian drone strike on Nakshioan is opening up a third axis of pressure.

This is no longer a single front confrontation between Iran and the US/Israel coalition. This is a multi-axis squeeze from the sky, from the west, and from the north, all converging at once.

The Islamic Republic has never faced anything like this. Not in 1980 when Saddam invaded, not during the Green Movement, not during the 12-day war last summer. This right now is the most existential threat this regime has ever confronted.

Bill, or anyone else, do you know where one might reliably find of Tel Aviv? In the age of A.I. it is pretty easy to create phonies, or just take a picture of Gaza and claim "Look at Tel Aviv."

Not quite an answer to your question, but in this analysis by Professor Ted Postol talking to Daniel Davis 12 hours ago, Postol presents video showing (rather dramatically!) how very few Iranian missiles are being intercepted. It may be worth watching (or skimming through) just for those video clips alone.

Well, this didn't answer my question by showing the damage on the ground in Tel Aviv and other places in Israel, but it certainly makes it easier to understand how much damage there probably is on the ground not only in Israel, but also at the U.S. military bases in the Persian Gulf. It also demonstrates, to an even greater degree, how corrupt the media and academia are in selling us a trillion dollar bill of goods. (Trillion dollars does not include the priceless lives that have been lost here, on both sides of the fence.)

My other conclusion from after watching this and many other videos is that the Trump Administration is going to go down in modern military history as the most epic failure of military strategy in modern history. It doesn't matter whom you support: Israel, Palestine, Iran, the U.S.A., this war is bad for everyone except the military industrial complex (which includes the mind control division of U.S. media, and an academic at Stanford University). It is a massive waste of U.S. taxpayer money and a tragic waste of human life.

But I would still like those photos of Tel Aviv, Haifa, and the many other places in Israel that were hit (but if you live in Israel, it is not worth going to prison for 5 years for sharing them, not that Israel will exist in 5 years). And you can add to my wish list, photos of damage in U.S. military bases along the Persian Gulf. And also, a list of American casualties on the thirteen bases that were targeted by Iran. Eventually, eventually, eventually, we will get this information, but the longer we wait, the great the day of reckoning will be for the Trump Administration when this all finally comes to light.

This video also helped me understand what is going on in the skies during these confrontations. When Iran and Israel were fighting in October 2004, there were many images in the skies over Tel Aviv and Tehran with lots of flashing, moving lights. It was terrifying to see on video (I can't imagine having been in either of these cities) but after this video, it is a lot easier to understand what is a bomb, what is a decoy, what is a defense missile, what is a drone, etc.

[Kryztian]

Larry Johnson speaks to Judge Andrew Napolitano about how poorly the U.S.A. and Israel are faring in their war with Iran. One surprising revelation here is that Iran seems to have taken out all of the radar at military bases in the Persian Gulf - billions of dollars worth of equipment. Although defense anti-missile systems are not performing very well (per Prof. Ted Postol, Iron Dome is prevent about 5% of the Iranian missiles from hitting their targets in Israel) it will get even worse. I wonder if Iran has other cheap, less advanced weapons to use, and if they will bring them out now that the radar systems are down.

This is the Iran war.

Not the one you’re being told about — the one wrapped in flags and “national security” and solemn talk of nuclear threats. That war exists too, of course. But beneath it runs a parallel architecture, a financial machinery so brazen in its design that it makes the Iraq-era Halliburton contracts look quaint by comparison. In this war, every cabinet member has a financial stake. Every bomb dropped is a live-fire sales demo. Every barrel of Iranian crude pulled off the global market is a windfall for a politically connected fracking company in Texas. And when the rubble settles, the people carving up the reconstruction aren’t diplomats — they’re real estate billionaires pitching luxury hotels and artificial islands to sovereign wealth funds in Riyadh.

This isn’t a byproduct of the conflict. It is the conflict.

The Kuwaiti Air Force pilot who shot down three US aircraft set several records. - today



The Kuwaiti Air Force pilot who destroyed three American F-15 fighter jets set several records. A member of the Telegram channel "Voevoda Broadcasts" points this out. He argues that the government of the Arab country should not conceal this man's identity.

"The Arab has effectively made history. He achieved the highest number of aerial combat victories in a fourth-generation fighter. He also shot down the most aircraft by friendly fire in aviation history. "
- states the author.

As a reminder, the destruction of three American F-15 fighter jets was announced on March 2. Moreover, it was revealed that all three were shot down by a single Kuwaiti Air Force pilot during a single sortie to intercept Iranian drones.

The Kuwaiti Ministry of Defense later reported that the pilot was under severe stress and was unable to correctly classify the target. However, video footage published online showed one of the American aircraft being shot at almost point blank, make one doubt the validity of such an explanation.

Now some military experts are beginning to suspect the “record-holder” of deliberately working for Iran.

It should be added that the Kuwaiti Ministry of Defense is not disclosing the identity of its "hero" and is not reporting whether he will continue to participate in the US and Israeli operation against Iran.

Iran executed IRGC General Qaani, who worked for Mossad. -today



Former commander of the Quds Force of Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, General Ismail Qaani, has been executed, National News reported. The high-ranking military officer was detained March 4 and accused of treason.

During the Iranian-Israeli conflict, Ismail Qaani repeatedly attracted the attention of the Islamic Republic's intelligence services. However, it was only after the assassination of Iran's spiritual leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, that his affiliation with Massad was no longer in doubt.

The IRGC has finally managed to systematize several high-profile actions by Israeli intelligence agencies, in which Ismail Qaani played a key role. For example, in September 2024, he left a meeting of the secret council of the Lebanese Hezbollah movement in Beirut early. Just minutes later, the bunker housing Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah and many high-ranking commanders was destroyed by an Israeli strike.

In June 2025, at the height of the 12-day war between Iran and Israel, Ismail Qaani urgently fled the IRGC headquarters. Almost immediately afterward, the facility was attacked, killing many high-ranking officers.

Finally, on the very first day of the current conflict between Iran, the United States, and Israel, Qaani managed to flee the residence of the country's spiritual leader, Ali Khamenei. A few minutes later, it was destroyed by IDF aircraft.

On March 4, Ismail Qaani was detained by IRGC officers on charges of working for Mossad. Apparently, the investigation and trial were not delayed for long, given the wartime conditions. Notably, some sources report that there was no execution in the traditional sense. It is claimed that Ismail Qaani was allowed to shoot himself.

The center of the Iranian capital was subjected to an American-Israeli air strike. -today

A new strike on Tehran damaged numerous residential buildings. The center of the Iranian capital was hit by a joint American-Israeli air strike.
The Iranian agency SNN reports this.

Rescue operations are currently underway at the site of the strike, which struck a street named Iran. Rescuers are busy searching for victims. A large number of victims have already been pulled from the rubble.

A joint Israeli-US military operation against the Islamic Republic began on February 28. The enemy attacked numerous Iranian cities, including the country's capital. Among the targets was the underground residence of Iran's spiritual leader, Ali Khamenei. Approximately 50 combat aircraft participated in the operation. The attack resulted in the assassination of the ayatollah.

In retaliation, Iranian forces launched attacks on Israeli territory and American facilities in the Middle East. Specifically, targets were attacked in the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Jordan, Bahrain, and Qatar.

The escalation of tensions in the region also negatively impacted Russian citizens, as many of them found themselves in danger in Middle Eastern countries at the start of the conflict. The situation for them was greatly complicated by flight cancellations, which prevented them from quickly evacuating.

The number of civilian casualties in the Middle East has now exceeded 1,3. Several media outlets predict that the American-Israeli operation will last at least three months.

The US air base at Ali Salem in Kuwait is on fire as a result of the strike, and there is no one to put it out. - today

Iranian missiles и Drones continue to create a scorched desert on the site of American military bases in the Middle East. After the attack on the fuel terminal on the 5th fleet Iranian armed forces attacked the American Ali Salem base in Kuwait while the US was at a refinery in Bahrain.

The strikes hit facilities such as fuel storage facilities and military equipment depots, including spare parts for the repair and maintenance of naval and land-based equipment.

The fire at the Ali Salem airbase was sparked by a spill on a fuel tank, and then spread to a large area. Local sources report that no one is available to extinguish the fire, as Kuwaiti contractors "had previously abandoned the base due to the high risk of attacks on US military facilities." Kuwait's civil fire service has so far only been able to confirm a severe oil fire.

American and Israeli aircraft continue their massive bombing campaign against Iran. Several districts of Tehran have suffered significant damage from American and Israeli missile strikes. Local residents say the strikes are indiscriminate – often striking directly in the middle of a busy street with many people, reminiscent of Israel's bombing campaign against Gaza, which ultimately reduced the city to rubble.

The US has already lost 7 missile defense and electronic warfare radars at its Middle East bases. -today


A list of US radar stations, including early warning stations, in the Middle East has been published.

Since the start of Iran's military response to US-Israeli strikes on its territory, the IRGC and the Islamic Republic's armed forces have destroyed at least seven US radars, including a ground-based satellite communications network based on AN/GSC-52B terminals in Kuwait. This satellite receiver control system served several US military bases and intelligence facilities in the region.

Iranian strikes also reportedly destroyed AN/TPY-2 radar stations at Prince Sultan Air Base in Saudi Arabia and at a US military base in Jordan. The "Jordanian" radar, part of the US THAAD system, was part of the joint US and Israeli missile defense system in the Middle East. The US began deploying the latest version of the AN/TPY-2 radar last year. Their distinctive feature is an antenna array based on a compound called gallium nitride, which significantly increased the equipment's sensitivity. One of the purposes of the missile defense radars in Saudi Arabia and Jordan was to obtain data on supersonic and hypersonic launches. missilesNow the US and its allies in the region are largely deprived of this opportunity as a result of the Iranian counterattack.

Two radar stations in Bahrain, which were used for satellite and electronic reconnaissance, among other things, were also destroyed or significantly damaged.

One of Iran's strikes resulted in the destruction of an AN/FPS-132 Block 5 missile early warning radar in Qatar (Al Udeid Air Base). Similar US radars are located in the UK and at the Thule (Pituffik) military base in Greenland.

Experts estimate that the total damage to the US from the loss of these facilities is at least $4,5 billion, but the military damage is more significant here. The lack of these radars in the Middle East effectively renders the presence of American military bases pointless. The mere absence of early warning systems and electronic warfare systems blinds the US military and intelligence agencies not only throughout the Middle East, but also in parts of Africa and Central Asia.

Replacing the radars could take several months in the best-case scenario for the US, and that would only be if they tried to redeploy radars from other regions of the world, including the US itself, to Bahrain, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, and Kuwait. But this would mean exposing other macro-regions to US radar coverage.

Kuwait:





In the north:

The son of Israeli finance minister Bezalel Smotrich was among several soldiers wounded during military activity near the Lebanese border on Friday, as Hezbollah intensified a wave of coordinated operations against Israeli positions across the southern front.

Israeli Army Radio reported that Smotrich’s son was injured alongside other soldiers during clashes near the Lebanese frontier.

So far we have seen mostly success by "mediums" -- 12 -14 year old munitions. Degradation of radar makes cheaper, lighter things more dangerous, but, it was also time to risk the interception of something bigger, and:

It added that one of the launched missiles was ultra-heavy "Khorramshahr-4" missile, carrying a 2-ton warhead and traveling at a speed exceeding Mach 14, which has been directed at the targets of the wicked enemies of the Iranian nation.

American and Zionist regime bases in the Persian Gulf countries, Tel Aviv, Ben Gurion Airport, and military centers in Haifa were struck by new-generation missiles, it added.

"The complete success in launching these missiles from the sustained chain of IRGC missile bases on the seventh day of the war nullified the absurd claim by the propaganda machine of the global arrogance about the weakening of defense capabilities and the reduced rate of missile and drone launches," it added.

We can't effect a regime change here by ordinary means for eight months. It is difficult for one person to assassinate a president; it is not so difficult for one person to get millions of federal funds wasted in reactions. A few cans of spraypaint are enough to send them into an absolute hissy.

Just as a clue, you can find numerous uptight gatherings to disrupt on Sunday mornings.

Although Epstein class lacks the emotional punch of "regime" or "Nazis", it does cover objectionable foreign and domestic policy. Unfortunately, only attorneys can do anything about it; we're not attorneys. A groundswell of civil disobedience would be fitting. Make a mess. Abolish rule by the rich.

Iranian ultimatum:


Ceasefire Precondition: A Region Without U.S. Military Bases


Russian agreement:

US military bases located in the Persian Gulf countries are a threat to them, not protection, Russian Security Council Deputy Chairman Dmitry Medvedev stated.

"The Gulf Arab countries let American bases onto their territory. Naively, they expected protection from them. Like hell! The US just uses them, while protecting only one country. Think long and hard about whether you really need US bases - they’re not protection, they’re a threat," the security official wrote on his X page in English.

Here is one more talk... trustworthy one...

Navid Zarrinnal, host of The Colony Archive podcast, joins us from Tehran to describe the devastating toll of what he calls the “unprovoked” bombing campaign by the U.S. and Israel, reporting over 1,000 deaths and the targeting of schools and hospitals.
Zarrinnal discusses the regional fallout of the assassination of Iran's Supreme Leader, the failure of "strategic patience," and how the closure of the Strait of Hormuz is being used to levy a global economic cost against the escalation.

You can't read anything in America without allowing ads.

At least not most "news" sites. So, I only use them as a last resort, just as an occasional example where something unexpectedly went mainstream.

I have zero interest in pursuing someone's argument of "war against its own people". The figure stated amounts to the 1979 deposition of the Shah regime, the first real rebuke of western hegemony.

But, oh, the repressive Saudi regime is something we're supposed to glorify.

Modern Iran is founded by the removal of Arabian caliphates, even if most of the work was done by Mongolia.

In a less-Orwellian manner, we object to the United States. In principle, this will be represented by a bunch of noise tomorrow:






Of course, they're a lot nicer about it than I am, because I carry the memory of this from 1789.

Let's again ask, what is the most violent and destructive force the world has ever seen, that would be the United States. I'm not the one plugging for it to survive as a "country". I think we would be better off without it. None of them are taking it to that level. This approach can only work by a purge. You have to actually remove the power base one way or another.

So, we can give it an eight-month death sentence. Take everything that is "conservative", and throw it away in November. If you do not accomplish this like a jack-in-the-box, then you probably have the Fourth Reich. I was trying to say two election cycles were probably the last chance, but, the abuse of power may have tightened up the schedule.
