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

[Ravenlocke]

Mats Nilsson

At least 20 gas tankers (about half the world's fleet) are stuck in the Persian Gulf, and daily freight costs are rising sharply as demand from Asia grows, shipbrokers say. Freight rates have risen from less than $98,000 before the fighting in Iran to more than $200,000.

🇺🇸🇮🇷🇷🇺 Russia is earning up to $150mn per day in additional budget revenues from oil sales as the war involving Iran disrupts Middle East energy supplies.

If current market conditions continue, Russia could collect $3.3bn–$4.9bn in additional revenues by the end of March. Russian Urals crude is now trading far above its recent average, reversing earlier discounts and in some cases selling above Brent in India.

Analysts say sustained high oil prices would help Russia stabilise its budget after energy income fell nearly 50% year-on-year in the first two months of 2026.

Written on an Iranian missile:

“Vaccine for pedophiles - made in Iran”

The missile was used against American military bases in the region.

HOLY… new satellite images from the US Al Dhafa base in the UAE show:

A super heavy impact of the Iranian Khorramshahr-4 ballistic missile warhead impacting the accommodation area of American officers, which has created a hole at least 10 meters in diameter.

It literally destroyed EVERYTHING it hit.

Surely there were many casualties here that are being censored.

This is the first documented impact of this missile on a US base.

Another satellite image shows Iranian missiles struck & destroyed aircraft hangars and likely hit aircraft as well, at the Al-Dhafra US Air Base, in the UAE.

IRIB military correspondent
@Younes_Shadlou
explains how Iran is controlling the Strait of Hormuz:

Iran uses upgraded Ashura-class fast attack boats to control the Strait of Hormuz.

These boats are armed with IRGC-made heat-seeking Qadr missiles with a range of about 25 km, which are very accurate to hit their targets precisely without relying on optical systems and even without relying on GPS, instead they use thermal guidance systems. No electronic warfare system can prevent them from striking their target.

The boats can travel over 90 km/h and US naval forces are weak against it. They can also carry anti-drone and anti-helicopter missiles.

According to Shadloo, these boats have not yet been used in combat, the IRGC Navy is so far relying more on attack drones and some cruise missiles.

You shouldn't be surprised if Iranian missiles land in Romania.

❗️Romania has approved a US request for temporary access to Europe's largest NATO military base, Mihail Kogălniceanu Air Base, to support operations in the Middle East, including aircraft refueling, fighter deployment, and the deployment of up to 500 troops.

The request follows strikes on US bases in the Middle East, and US troops and equipment will presumably be redeployed to Romania from bases with the most weakened air defenses—primarily in Kuwait, Bahrain, and Qatar.

🇷🇺The main points from Maria Zakharova's briefing:

The vote on the Russian resolution on the Middle East at the UN Security Council raises the question of whether those voting against are interested in a resolution;

The disproportionate strikes on Iran are striking; international relevant bodies should assess this;

Military actions in the Middle East threaten an ecological and radiological catastrophe for the entire region;

The attack on the house of Russian culture in Lebanon was unprovoked;

EU authorities are not ready to restore normal dialogue with Russia on energy supplies; they are only inclined towards confrontation;

Russia has formulated its proposals for Iranian settlement, but will not disclose them; however, intensive contacts are ongoing regarding these proposals;

Kiev is literally "begging" for a nuclear component, but London and Paris should consider what they will do with it;

The language of blackmail and threats towards Cuba is absolutely counterproductive and contradicts the UN Charter.

Seyed Abbas Araghchi

Factual knowledge matters.

Case 1: Iran's proposal to ensure NO NUCLEAR WEAPONS was dismissed because U.S. counterparts didn't grasp the technical details.

Case 2: Americans won't "make money" from surging oil prices and tariffs. They enrich corporations and crush households.

❗️PMU-affiliated Iraqi channels are saying the KC-135 refuelling aircraft was shot down by Iraqi resistance forces, despite CENTCOM claiming it was an innocent accident.

🇺🇸 CENTCOM has confirmed the loss of a KC-135 refueling aircraft over western Iraq during Operation Epic Fury, stating a second aircraft involved in the incident landed safely. CENTCOM insists the cause was neither hostile nor friendly fire.

But that statement appears to cover only one of two separate incidents.

ADS-B flight tracking data shows th second KC-135 Stratotanker squawking 7700, the universal emergency code, while operating over Tel Aviv before making an emergency landing at Ben Gurion Airport. That aircraft has no connection to the western Iraq incident.

Two KC-135s. Two separate emergencies. One day. A lot of incompetence.

The Cradle

Russian Foreign Ministry Spokeswoman Maria Zakharova
——
"As you are aware, the UN Security Council adopted Resolution 2817 prepared by Bahrain, which condemns strikes on the territories of the Arab Gulf States and calls on Iran to immediately stop such actions.

As you saw, Russia and China abstained, as they disagree with the concept of the document, which is presented in isolation from the underlying cause of the ongoing escalation in the region. One can get an impression that Iran allegedly attacked sites in neighboring countries entirely of its own accord and out of malicious intent.

Moscow has repeatedly made it clear that the current crisis in the Middle East is rooted in the unprovoked aggression by the United States and Israel against the Islamic Republic of Iran.

We express our extreme dissatisfaction with the process of agreeing upon the above resolution. Its Bahraini sponsors turned down every Russian or Chinese proposal seeking to “redress” their unbalanced text.

With the support of its Chinese partners, Russia proposed that the Security Council consider a draft alternative document aimed at starting urgent de-escalation and condemning strikes against any civilian targets without assigning blame.

It would appear that such an impartial UN Security Council resolution should have been supported by all its responsible members; however, only China, Pakistan, and Somalia voted in favour of our initiative.

The United States and Latvia voted against it. Other countries abstained, although they had not come up with any objections to the Russian text during consultations. Does this mean they are not interested in ending the current confrontation in the Middle East?"

TRUTH AND SOLIDARITY MOVEMENT

Turkiye has issued a statement warning that if the United States attempts to enter Iran from Iraq, Turkiye will enter into a state of war with Iran against the United States.

Additionally, Turkiye has reiterated its assertion that Incirlik is Turkish land and therefore cannot be used by the United States as a base to launch an attack on Iran.

Turkiye has also expressed its readiness to confront usa any where in the region, to Greece in Cyprus, and to Israel within its own territory.

Turkiye is cautioning the United States to be prepared for a war of unprecedented magnitude. The NATO alliance has been severely compromised
