"Netanyahu finally found someone stupid enough to do it." -- Max Blumenthal, referring to Trump's war on Iran

12bytes: In the purist spirit of 'FAFO' (fuck around, find out) Trump has started a religious war at the direction of his Chabad-Lubivitch Zionist masters that he has been losing badly since the opening salvo slaughtered a bunch of school girls. Any delusions Trump had of achieving his ever-changing goals in the Middle East have since evaporated. US bases in the region have been largely destroyed and abandoned, leaving their hosts and Israel blind to incoming munitions and no one can stop Iran's hypersonic or multi-warhead missiles. Israel and the Gulf states are running out of interceptors. Their reporting of incoming missiles and drones being "intercepted" or that they "fell out of the sky" or "missed their target" or caused only "superficial damage", etc., are largely lies. The damage to US bases and Israel is immense and worsens by the hour. The "Iron Dome" has been dismantled and reduced to providing, at best, a 1-2 minute warning to shelter, if any at all. It is strictly forbidden for people to report on the damage inflicted by Iran, many of which have been arrested. This is why we're not getting a lot of visuals from inside Israel or the Gulf states.

Trump seeks an exit ramp, but his back is against the Wailing Wall and 'plan B' is being fabricated on-the-fly. Worse still, it is a near certainty that even if the US pulled out, the Iranian's will continue attacking Israel until the parasitic Zionist cockroaches have paid a price that Iran deems sufficient and that price increases with every bomb the US/Israel drops on their people, their leaders and their infrastructure. Meanwhile, Iran controls shipping in the Hormuz Strait and thus has its enemies by their proverbial balls until its demands are met, including US withdrawal from the region and the elimination of sanctions. What will the end look like? Will the US and/or Israel deploy nuclear weapons? Russia and China are unlikely to allow Iran to fall.

Stay tuned.

UPDATE 3

Trump says he received Iranian 'present' as thousands of US troops head towards Gulf | Middle East Eye

President Donald Trump said on Tuesday that Iran gave the US a "present" related to "oil and gas", while repeating that talks were underway with the Islamic Republic to end the war, even as thousands of US troops are en route to the region.
[...]
"I think we are going to end it. I can't tell you for sure," he said. "We have won this war."
Trump added that the US and Israel had killed so many Iranian officials that "I think we can say this is regime change".
Trump said that his son-in-law, Jared Kushner, special envoy Steve Witkoff, Secretary of State Marco Rubio, and Vice President JD Vance are all involved in negotiations to end the conflict.
The deployment of US soldiers to the region, however, tells a different story.

12bytes: I'm going with the Iranian version; Trump is, as usual, a lying sack of Zionist shit that is playing stupid games in order to manipulate the markets. The US has not accomplished any of their goals. Iran controls the strait and that's their 'trump' card and so far there isn't a god damned thing the US or anyone else can do about it. We have traitors running the country and every fuckin' one of 'em should be taken out back and summarily shot.

No middle ground: Qalibaf urges world to choose sides after Israeli torture of Gaza toddler

Iran's Parliament Speaker Mohammad Baqer Qalibaf says the world must choose to stand either with the besieged Gaza Strip or with child torturers, stressing that there is no middle ground, after Israeli soldiers tortured a one-year-old Gazan child.
Qalibaf made the comments on Monday, after the official Palestine TV a day earlier aired footage showing Israeli soldiers subjected a one-year-old child in central Gaza to torture to pressure his father into making confessions during an interrogation.

Khatam Headquarters spokesperson: Missile and drone strikes hit Israeli airports, intelligence centers - Yemen Press Agency

TEHRAN, March 25 (YPA) - Ebrahim Zolfaghari, the spokesperson for Iran's Khatam al Anbiya central headquarters, announced a series of wide-ranging military operations as part of the 79th wave of operation "True Promise 4", targeting strategic and sensitive sites deep inside Israeli-occupied territories, successfully penetrating the multi-layered air defense of the Zionist regime.
In a statement, the spokesmen confirmed that several Tomahawk and JASSM cruise missiles, and a number of hostile combat and kamikaze drones were shot down during recent confrontations.
He added that Iranian forces targeted Rafael Advanced Defense Systems in Haifa, Israel's aerospace facilities near Ben Gurion Airport, and refueling aircraft stationed at the airport using drone strikes since early Monday.
On the intelligence front, the statement said the Iranian forces targeted what it described as "seemingly secure" intelligence facilities of "Israel" in northern and central Tel Aviv, as well as military support and commercial centers in Ramat Gan and the Negev, and a key southern military logistics and command center in Beersheba.

Iran's Army strikes Israeli, US air bases housing advanced fighter jets

The Islamic Republic of Iran Army has launched retaliatory drone strikes on Israeli and US air bases in the region, where their fighter jets are stationed.
In a statement released on Monday, the Army said drone units of its ground, air, and naval forces from across the country conducted the operations against Tel Nof Air Base near Tel Aviv and Muwaffaq Salti Air Base, also known as Azraq, in Jordan.
It said Tel Nof is one of the most vital bases of the Israeli regime's air force, adding that the facility has played a key role in long-range attacks and the ongoing aggression against Iran with its support and fighter jet squadrons.
Azraq, which is one of the most important operational and support centers of the US in the region, hosts F-35 and F-15 warplanes, along with electronic warfare aircraft, involved in air raids against Iran, it added.

Hezbollah conducts 63 military operations against Israel in 24 hours

The Lebanese Islamic resistance movement Hezbollah has announced that it carried out 63 military operations targeting positions and centers of the Israeli regime's occupation army over the past 24 hours.
In a statement issued on Monday morning, Hezbollah said that these operations were launched within the framework of defending Lebanese territory and its people, and in direct response to the Israeli regime's continuous aggressions.
The statement detailed that the operations included rocket barrages, offensive drone strikes, and artillery fire.
The targets primarily focused on Israeli military gatherings, armored vehicles, bases, and troop deployment centers along the border areas and in northern occupied Palestine.
These sustained and precise strikes underscore Hezbollah's unwavering resolve and operational capability in confronting the Israeli regime's repeated violations of Lebanese sovereignty.
On the other side, the Israeli army was compelled to admit that seven of its soldiers were injured during clashes on the northern front bordering Lebanon in the same period.
Hezbollah continues to play its pivotal role in the axis of resistance, standing firm against the Israeli regime's expansionist policies and supporting the broader struggle for justice and liberation in the region.
Hezbollah started launching retaliatory attacks earlier this month after Israel bombed the eastern and southern parts of the Arab country on a daily basis in violation of the November 2024 ceasefire.

"Called It!" - Iran War turning Climate Change into a "national security emergency" - OffGuardian

Last month, within hours of the launch of "Operation Epic Fury", I was writing that this war would loop back around to climate change...
Extending from that, almost certainly, will be climate change/renewable energy narrative arguing that the price of oil is "too volatile" and our reliance on fossil fuels is "causing death and destruction" and that climate change is an "international security emergency".
It was, without undue immodesty, a fairly safe bet, but the press wasted no time in proving it correct.

UPDATE 2

Iran trained in 'asymmetrical warfare' for two decades waiting for US troops: Defense official

A senior Iranian defense official says the armed forces have "trained in asymmetrical warfare" for two decades in anticipation of American troops being deployed to "designated regions."
"We have been waiting for the arrival of Americans to designated regions," Ali-Akbar Ahmadian, a senior aide to Leader of the Islamic Revolution in the Defense Council, said in a post on his X account on Tuesday.
[...]
Ahmadian said that Iran has only one message for American soldiers: "Come closer."
The warning comes as Trump administration officials have hinted at the possibility of ground operations in certain regions of Iran.
US military planners have reportedly presented the White House with options for a potential ground operation, should the bombing campaign fail to achieve its objectives.

True Promise 4: Iran and resistance axis ops. against US-Israeli assets on Mar. 24

Iranian armed forces and resistance groups across the region continue to carry out retaliatory military operations against the United States and the Israeli regime.
On Tuesday, March 24, 2026, the Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) and the Iranian Army conducted multiple operations as part of Operation True Promise 4, which was launched immediately after the US-Israeli coalition carried out an unprovoked act of aggression against the Islamic Republic of Iran on February 28.
Iranian armed forces have so far carried out 79 waves of missile and drone strikes with advanced weaponry targeting Israeli military facilities in the occupied territories, as well as US occupation bases and assets scattered across the West Asia region.
The Lebanese Hezbollah resistance movement and the Islamic Resistance in Iraq have also joined the front against the external aggressors, inflicting heavy blows on the enemy.
Hezbollah's operations have been primarily focused on Israeli military sites in the occupied territories. Its operations are both in response to the assassination of the Leader of the Islamic Revolution, Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei, and the relentless ceasefire violations by the Israeli regime over the past year.
Iraqi resistance groups have also been carrying out daily operations, primarily against American military assets in Iraq and other Arab countries.
Below is a list of operations carried out by the Iranian armed forces, as well as resistance movements in Lebanon and Iraq, against the US and the Zionist regime on March 24:

Tel Aviv heavily damaged by Iranian missile strikes - Yemen Press Agency

Hebrew media reported widespread panic and numerous serious injuries.

Frum Report: The base America called untouchable. Iran just touched it. - YouTube

12bytes: Video is AI and i don't how the script is generated, but the information in all of these videos has been extremely good.

The Pentagon built its entire safe hub concept around one number: two thousand kilometers. That was the assessed maximum range of Iranian ballistic missiles. Diego Garcia - the joint American and British installation in the Indian Ocean from which B-2 bombers struck Iranian nuclear facilities - sits at approximately four thousand kilometers from Iranian territory. The math was supposed to make it untouchable.
Iran just struck it anyway.
Two intermediate-range ballistic missiles were launched against Diego Garcia. The Wall Street Journal confirmed it through American officials. Russian, Turkish, Chinese, and Iranian outlets confirmed it simultaneously. One missile reportedly failed in flight - after traveling approximately four thousand kilometers. The second was engaged by an SM-3 interceptor launched from a naval vessel. The Wall Street Journal then reported it could not determine whether the interception was successful.
A missile either hits or it doesn't. The statement that the outcome cannot be confirmed is not a description of genuine technical uncertainty. It is a description of an institutional decision about what to acknowledge publicly.

Sanchez Effect | War on Iran, Latest developments

In this episode of RT's 'Sanchez Effect', Rick invites Veteran journalist Garland Nixon and former U.S. Marine Corps officer Scott Ritter to discuss recent events around the war on Iran. They sit next to the big map of the region so you can visually understand the developments better. There is talk of an upcoming U.S. ground invasion of Iran, which Nixon finds insane considering the mountainous terrain of the country - 'Iran has geographical advantages impossible to overcome'. Scott Ritter is also pessimistic about 'Epic Fury' as he says 'the optics are horrible for the Navy'. The USS Gerald Ford aircraft carrier has faced disaster after disaster throughout the whole operation and even before - could it be sabotage? Who knows! What Ritter knows is 'this is supposed to be the most advanced ship in the world but it is not designed to fight a war'.

Bloomberg: USS Gerald R. Ford faces more problems beyond fire in laundry area - Yemen Press Agency

WASHINGTON, March 24 (YPA) - A Pentagon report raised concerns over the performance of systems aboard the USS Gerald R. Ford, particularly its aircraft launch and radar systems.
The USS Gerald R. Ford aircraft carrier arrived at a port on a Greek island after leaving Middle East operations against Iran due to a laundry-area fire, but the vessel faces broader underlying problems, Bloomberg reported Tuesday.
Bloomberg reported that the concerns around the aircraft carrier range from the potentially grave to the mundane, according to a new assessment from the Pentagon testing office, with many issues surfacing after it started combat testing in October 2022.
The report cited concerns as there is not enough current test data to assess the carrier's "operational suitability," or the reliability of several key systems, including its jet launch and recovery system, its radar, its ability to keep operating if hit by enemy fire, and its elevators for moving weapons and munitions for warplanes from the hold to the flight deck.
A recent Pentagon testing assessment found that, nearly a decade after delivery, there is still insufficient data to determine the ship's "operational effectiveness" under realistic combat conditions.

Frum Report: Wave 67. Iran is still firing. And the degradation narrative just ran out of explanations. - YouTube

12bytes: Video is AI and i don't how the script is generated, but the information in all of these videos has been extremely good.

Wave sixty-seven. Not a symbolic strike. Not a force expending its last inventory. The sixty-seventh coordinated assault of True Promise 4 - heavy ballistic missiles combined with what the IRGC's official communiqué describes as a rain of drones against American and Israeli military targets across the region. And the IRGC did not describe striking known bases. It described striking the secret garrison of American soldiers and their radar infrastructure. The covert forward presence. The positions that host country governments may not have formally sanctioned.
Trump said Iran had been reduced to zero missile capability. That statement preceded wave sixty-seven by approximately seventy-two hours.

He warned that the spread of violence and the rapid rise in displacement across several countries threaten "to pull an entire generation of children deeper into crisis."
He said: "More than 2,100 children have been killed or injured, including 206 children killed in Iran and 118 in Lebanon. Four children were killed in Israel and one in Kuwait. These are reported figures, and they are expected to rise as the violence continues. That is an average of approximately 87 children either killed or injured every day since the beginning of the war."

IRGC issues ultimatum to Israel: End genocide or face heavy strikes

The Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) has issued a severe warning to the Israeli military, slamming it for committing widespread war crimes in Gaza and Lebanon.
In its 46th statement regarding "Operation True Promise 4," the Public Relations Department of the Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) announced on Tuesday that the "child-killing army of the Zionist regime" has crossed all red lines in its military aggressions.
The statement slammed Israel for exploiting the regional war atmosphere and media focus on the US-Israeli aggression against Iran.
The Israeli military has committed extensive war crimes against civilians in Lebanon and Palestine, it said adding that the continuation of genocide is no longer tolerable.
The IRGC warned the "criminal army of the regime," that if the crimes against civilians in Lebanon and Palestine persist, Iran will respond with overwhelming force.
The statement specified that "the gathering points of enemy forces in the north of the occupied Palestine and the Gaza belt" would be targeted.
It also cautioned that these areas would come under heavy missile and drone attacks by the Islamic Republic of Iran and the IRGC "without any consideration."

Op. True Promise 4: Iranian missiles rain down on Israel's intelligence hubs in new wave

In a fresh wave of retaliatory strikes, the Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) targeted the Israeli regime's "secure" intelligence facilities in Tel Aviv.
The IRGC's Public Relations Department said in a statement on Tuesday that it had carried out the 79th wave of its ongoing retaliatory Operation True Promise 4 against the Israeli and American targets.
Deploying powerful Kheybar Shekan, Emad, and Sejjil missiles alongside IRGC Aerospace Force kamikaze drones, the operation successfully breached the regime's multi-layered air defense systems, the statement said.
The missiles, it stated, targeted Israel's intelligence facilities in northern and central Tel Aviv, as well as military commercial and support centers in Ramat Gan and the Negev.
The missiles also hit Israel's southern military logistics and command headquarters in Beersheba.
The missile strikes triggered widespread panic across Israel and forced the suspension of a Knesset (parliament) session on Tuesday.
"Plumes of thick smoke and fire engulfing the Israeli-occupied territories, while forcing over two million people into shelters, serves as undeniable evidence of Iran's advanced missile and drone capabilities."
Iran's advanced missiles have once again demonstrated that the enemies' "multi-layered defenses have been rendered ineffective."
The IRGC further said that Israel's systematic censorship and the Pentagon's blackout on images of Iran's precision strikes against US assets in the region, "expose the profound panic" of the two enemies and their "desperate attempts to conceal and manipulate the truth.'"

Rising dissent in US military: Soldiers refuse to "die for Israel" in conflict with Iran - Yemen Press Agency

WASHINGTON, March 24 (YPA) - Recent reports have revealed an unprecedented wave of discontent sweeping through the US Armed Forces as the confrontation with Iran enters its fourth week.
The Huffington Post quoted active-duty and reserve soldiers stating, "We don't want to die for Israel, and we don't want to be mere political tools," signaling a deepening crisis of confidence in President Donald Trump's regional strategy.
The report highlighted a sharp decline in troop morale due to the "absence of a clear narrative" to justify the war, coupled with fears of a ground invasion described by personnel as "catastrophic."
A military official at Landstuhl Medical Center in Germany confirmed heavy casualties resulting from Iranian ballistic missiles and drones, pointing to a "severe lack" of adequate protection for U.S. bases in the theater of operations.
The "Center on Conscience & War" reported a staggering 1,000% increase in inquiries from soldiers seeking to leave the military in March alone-a surge described as the highest in decades.
This internal tension comes as the White House continues to deploy thousands of additional sailors and Marines to the Middle East, despite warnings from field officers that troops are increasingly considering resignation or desertion due to mounting psychological and political pressures.

Iranian drone strikes hit Israel's key aerospace industries

Iran's Army says its drone fleet has delivered precision strikes on Israel's key aerospace and weapons manufacturing industries.
Iran's Army said in a statement on Tuesday that it successfully launched a series of drone strikes early in the morning.

The Iranian drones also hit several refueling aircraft stationed at the airport.
Rafael Weapons Industries is a key military technology developer responsible for advanced systems such as the Iron Dome and David's Sling, according to the statement.

Israeli journo snaps on air after officials gloss over failure to intercept Iranian missile barrage

A military correspondent for the Israeli regime's Channel 14 throws a fit of rage on air, publicly criticizing efforts by authorities to gloss over and limit scrutiny over sheer underperformance of the regime's air defense systems in the face of a recent Iranian missile barrage.
Hillel Biton Rosen made the remarks after Iranian missiles flew right past the regime's much-vaunted missile interception systems to deliver crushing blows to the city of Dimona and the nearby city of Arad in the central part of the occupied territories on Sunday.
Social media was flooded with footage of dramatic impact moments and, what some observers called, apocalyptic aftermaths of the Iranian counterstrikes that either killed or injured more than 200, besides leaving huge trails of destruction.

U.S. Warplanes Are Now Using Towed Aerial Decoys To Dodge Iranian Air Defenses (Photos)

American warplanes taking part in the ongoing war on Iran are now using the advanced AN/ALE-50 towed decoy system to dodge anti-aircraft missiles, which highlights the growing threat posed by the Islamic Republic air defenses.
[...]
One such decoy - nicknamed by American military pilots "Little Buddy" - was found on March 24 in the southeastern Iraqi governorate of Maysan, which is located right on the border with Iran.
[...]
The use of the AN/ALE-50 indicates that U.S. military planners are growing wary from the threat posed by Iranian air defenses, despite repeated claims by senior Pentagon officials that aerial dominance had been established over the Islamic Republic.
Of course, this is not surprising as just last week an F-35 Lightning II fighter jet of the U.S. Air Force made a "hard landing" at an undisclosed American air base in the Middle East after getting hit by an Iranian anti-aircraft missile that caused damage and even wounded the pilot.
The U.S. Central Command acknowledged the incident, and later reports revealed that the fighter jet, which costs more than $100 million, won't be returning to service anytime soon.
Since that incident, Israel has reported that one of its fighter jets came close to getting hit over Iran, and the Islamic Republic reported more successful engagements
There is not doubt that Iran is successfully restoring its air defenses, and as the war drags on, both the U.S. and Israel will likely take more aerial losses.

Israeli Knesset session suspended as Iran launches massive missile barrage

Iranian missile strikes triggered widespread panic across occupied territories early Tuesday, forcing the suspension of a Knesset session as sirens sounded in hundreds of locations and a massive barrage targeted central areas, causing extensive damage in Tel Aviv and Beersheba.
A session of the Israeli parliament was abruptly suspended after the regime's Home Front Command issued a warning, sending lawmakers rushing to shelters.
According to Israeli media reports, the latest Iranian missile barrage toward central Israel appears to have been the largest since the war began on February 28.
Haaretz reported that on the 25th day of the conflict, "unrelenting bombardment from Iran toward Israel continues".
In Tel Aviv, a direct hit on a building caused significant destruction.
Seven additional locations were struck by shrapnel from Iranian missiles, with extensive damage reported.
A major road connecting Tel Aviv to the north was closed due to the strike.
The Tel Aviv Police Commander stated that extensive damage occurred at the sites where Iranian missile shrapnel fell in the city.
Israeli media also reported "massive explosions" in the Beersheba area and the western Negev, as well as in Arad.
An Iranian missile was reported to have landed in Beersheba, prompting search and rescue forces to be dispatched to damaged sites in the south.
In a separate incident, an Israeli reserve soldier was found dead in Bat Yam after allegedly shooting himself inside a shelter, according to Israeli media reports.
Iranian forces have so far launched around 80 waves of missiles and drones against Israeli targets in retaliation for the US-Israeli aggression against Iran that began on February 28.

War on Iran: How Israel is demolishing the myth that once shielded it | Middle East Eye

Ever since the state's founding, Israeli leaders have trotted out phrases like "a villa in the jungle", "tough neighbourhood" or, perhaps most tiresomely, "only democracy in the Middle East".
The function of this propaganda has been to persuade their audience - both the domestic Israeli electorate, and the leaders and citizens of Israel's allied states in the Global North - that the country is an island of civilisation in a sea of barbarism.
They suggest that despite its sweeping victories in most of the wars it has fought, its region-leading military backed by unlimited US aid, and its nuclear arsenal, Israel is in fact at continuous risk of being overrun by Arab, Iranian and Muslim hordes, and its people "driven into the sea" - just as, in fact, Jewish militias drove Palestinian refugees into the sea in 1948.
This myth has had a powerful, malign impact.
It has convinced successive US administrations to hand Israel a blank cheque annually; to bankroll its military-industrial complex, despite Tel Aviv's continual violations of the very international law Washington claims to uphold elsewhere.

20% of Global Supply Just Collapsed - This Crisis Is Bigger Than Oil - YouTube

The Strait of Hormuz crisis is no longer just about oil prices. As tensions between the United States and Iran escalate, global supply chains are beginning to fracture - impacting energy markets, LNG supply, fertilizer production, food inflation, and even semiconductor manufacturing.
In this video, we break down how rising oil prices, disrupted natural gas exports, and fertilizer shortages could trigger a global economic shock. With over 20% of global LNG supply affected and fertilizer prices already surging, the consequences may extend far beyond energy - into food prices, inflation, and the global economy.
We also examine how this crisis is impacting key regions including China, India, Europe, and the United States, and why the geopolitical balance of power may be shifting as supply chains come under pressure.
This is not just an oil story. This is a global supply shock.
Topics covered:
Oil prices and global energy markets
LNG disruption and Qatar gas supply
Fertilizer shortages and food inflation
Semiconductor supply chains and helium crisis
US-Iran tensions and global economic impact

Looks Like Donald Trump is Serious About Puting US Boots on the Ground in Iran

If these forces are inserted onto Iranian territory, it will be only a matter of time before Iran starts hitting them with drones and missiles. After 25 days of war, the US has suffered few casualties considering the number of missiles and drones that have been launched. This kind of operation carries enormous risk for the operators who are deployed on the ground. I fear that US planners have grossly underestimated the resolve and determination of the Iranians to defend their home.
