US/Israel censors damage, casualties; US bombs Kharg Island as leverage to reopen Strait; Iran RELENTLESS, attacks US bases, Israel - IRAN WAR NEWS - 14-Mar-2026 (update 5)

March 14, 2026

12bytes: Rather than repeating myself for these stories regarding Iranian attacks on their enemies in general, and particularly those upon the US bases in the Gulf region, i'll say it here: These bases (Saudi, UAE, Bahrain, Dubai, Oman, etc.) are constantly reporting that the incoming Iranian missiles and drones are largely being intercepted, or fell out of the sky, or fell into the sea, or caused only superficial damage, or that the attacks achieved only a symbolic victory, etc.. I can state with 100% confidence that these are lies. These bases have been, or are being completely destroyed. Some have been evacuated as a result of the attacks and others were evacuated before the war started because the US knew they couldn't be defended. Iran has largely depleted US air defenses making subsequent attacks even more effective. This is very much the case for Israel also. Furthermore, no one can stop Iran's hypersonic or multi-warhead missiles and they are beginning to use these weapons in greater numbers. Lastly, it is strictly forbidden for people in the US base states, and Israel as well, to report on the damage inflicted by the Iranians. At least several people have been arrested and in one case the penalty is death. Now you know why we're not getting a lot of visuals regarding damage out of Israel or the Gulf states.

Bases hit, radars down, oil soaring: The fallout of a U.S. war built on strategic misjudgment - Tehran Times

TEHRAN - In the third week of the joint U.S.-Israeli assault on Iran, the strategic miscalculations of the administration of President Donald Trump are becoming increasingly apparent.
The conflict began on February 28 with a large-scale military campaign aimed at crippling Iran's leadership and military capabilities. In preparation for the operation, Washington deployed its largest military presence in the Middle East since the 2003 U.S.-led invasion of Iraq. Two aircraft carrier strike groups, additional fighter aircraft, and advanced air-defense systems were sent to the region to protect Israel and key U.S. allies.
However, three weeks into the conflict, many of Washington's strategic objectives remain elusive. The war has expanded into a regional confrontation that is reshaping security and energy dynamics across the Middle East.

EyesIsWatchin #214 - Two Weeks to Flatten Iran: Cyber False Flags & CIA Cancer Cure?

Six years after "two weeks to flatten the curve," to "two weeks to flatten Iran," the same psychological playbook is back again.
As the U.S., Israel, and Iran spiral deeper into conflict, the media suddenly begins floating stories about Iranian sleeper cells, drone attacks on the West Coast, and cyber strikes against American infrastructure. From mysterious drone "mothership" claims to FBI warnings about attacks in California, the groundwork for the next crisis appears to be getting laid in real time.
Meanwhile oil prices surge as tensions around the Strait of Hormuz threaten a huge portion of the world's oil and fertilizer supply. At the same time surveillance infrastructure keeps expanding, with AI systems, drone policing, and centralized intelligence networks quietly being built in the background.
And just as cancer concerns grow, two strange narratives suddenly collide. The media begins pushing mRNA technology as a possible cancer solution, while an old Cold War CIA document about parasite-tumor research suddenly resurfaces after sitting in archives for decades. Coincidence... or two sides of the same psy-op coin?

IRGC warns attacks on US banks will expand if more Iranian banks are targeted

A spokesperson for the Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) says Iranian attacks on American bank branches in neighboring countries were a response to US-Israeli strikes on Iranian bank properties earlier this week and briefly disrupted banking operations in the country.

UK Warship Bobs in Channel Instead of Rushing to Cyprus Where British Base Was Attacked

Following a drone strike on the British base of Akrotiri in Cyprus on March 1, UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer ordered the warship HMS Dragon to set sail, the Sun reports.
But the Royal Navy's destroyer departed the UK waters a week late due to repairs, and went dark by switching off its tracker on its way to the British base on Cyprus, the report adds.
During the strike, the drone managed to evade the base's air defenses, striking a hangar used by US spy planes.
In response to the attack and the threat of further strikes, senior military officials ordered an evacuation and called for additional forces for defense.
As tensions with Iran escalated, Starmer already faced intense scrutiny over the repeated delays of the UK's best destroyers, with opponents arguing he had compromised the nation's security, the report adds.

Will "Senile Old Pedophile" Admit Defeat? (FFWN with Wyatt Peterson)

Senator Chris Murphy said the Iran war is the disaster of a "senile old man." The majority of Americans believe Trump launched the war to distract from the Epstein scandal. Wyatt Peterson joins Kevin Barrett to plumb the depths of the horror...and the heights of Iran's heroic resistance against the Epstein class.

The foundations of Zionism, with Sabri Jiryis and Fida Jiryis | The Electronic Intifada

"Zionists would like to present their movement as if it was eternal, as if it was always with the Jews since they were born, which is a very big lie," Jiryis says.
From the year 70 until around 1900, Jiryis estimates that only 50,000 Jewish people lived in Palestine. When anti-Jewish persecution emerged in pre-Soviet Russia, about two million Jews immigrated to the United States and only one percent of the immigrants came to Palestine.
"This Zionist movement is simply a colonialist movement, no more and no less," he explains.
"And it couldn't be otherwise, because it was formed and it was developed and it grew up in the second half of the 19th century. From 1850 to 1900 ... it was the [time] of European colonialism."

EU ambassadors have extended sanctions against Russia by six months

12bytes: These vindictive, childish, woke morons running the EU are something else. They sanction Russia, for whatever that's worth, then beg Russia for LNG because they sanctioned Russia. Meanwhile, their economies are collapsing ... because they've sanctioned Russia.

"The permanent representatives [of the 27 EU member states in Brussels - ed.] have reached a compromise on extending the blacklist against Russia until 15 September [2026 - ed.]. This decision does not provide for any exemptions from the blacklist," a diplomatic source in Brussels told TASS.
According to the source, more than 2,600 Russian citizens and legal entities remain subject to sanctions, including the country's entire top leadership and virtually all key companies and state organisations.

Iran released Esptein files that were withheld.

I don't know the authenticity of these. They haven't been denied. And they're bad.
But I can't confirm they're real or not altered. I can confirm Trump is a rapist, and the $83 million lawsuit he lost can too. No one seems to know that. $83 goddamn million.

UPDATE 1

US Centcom says 90 military targets destroyed on Kharg Island | Middle East Eye

In a post on X, Centcom described the attack as a "large-scale precision strike", saying that it "destroyed naval mine storage facilities, missile storage bunkers, and multiple other military sites".
Centcom added it struck more than 90 Iranian military targets, while "preserving the oil infrastructure".
Meanwhile, Iranian officials said oil exports from the island remain uninterrupted and are "fully under way".

Trump's Kharg Island Fantasy... All Bark, No Bite

Trump is deep into fantasy land. Yes, I think he has lost touch with reality. He admits that the oil terminals were not attacked, just some unidentified military targets. Iran has previously warned of that an attack on Iran's energy infrastructure would be answered by a comparable attack on all oil and gas infrastructure in the region in which the US and its allies have an interest would be set ablaze and destroyed.
If you don't know it now, only one of Iran's 5 operational oil export terminals is located on Kharg Island. According to data from the international company Kepler, the amount of oil loaded from the tanks installed on Kharg increased by 1.5 times in the past month. This suggests that Iran, by quickly emptying Kharg's tanks, was prepared for this attack.
If Iran's oil terminal on Kharg had been destroyed, Iran would have launched missiles at identified the oil terminals in all the countries bordering the Persian Gulf.
There are a couple of ways to look at this. Perhaps Trump's lie about devastating Kharg Island is the start of his PR campaign to gaslight the American public into believing Iran is defeated, which would allow Trump to declare victory and start withdrawing US forces. That's one possibility. Alternatively, he really believes the lie and is convinced that this latest strike will convince the Iranians to surrender. If you want to glean some keen insights into Trump's drift into madness, please take an hour to watch Danny Davis' interview with Robert Barnes (linked here).

The Pentagon is a "Paper Tiger": USAF KC-135 'Stratotanker' (Aerial Tankers) Shot Down by Iran, Intelligence, Surveillance (ISR)Aircraft Forced to Replace Destroyed Ground-based Radars - Global Research

The latest events during the American aggression on Iran demonstrate that the Pentagon is a paper tiger that can no longer rely on the myth of its "invincibility". Namely, after numerous embarrassing losses of advanced strike and multirole fighter jets (specifically F-15s and F-18s), the United States is now losing strategic aircraft that enable its occupation forces to project power across the Middle East and beyond.

How Zionist Control Is Hurting US Interests

The recent US attack on Iran has raised criticism both internationally and at home due to President Trump's shift from America First to Israel First and over the Zionist control over the US establishment.

Trump Threatens Iran: "If They Do Anything Bad", His Call to Putin, Article IV of the Nuclear Nonproliferation Treaty (NPT), War Crimes - Global Research

Speaking from his Doral Florida golf club, the President added that "If they do anything bad, that would be the end of Iran and you'd never hear the name again" leaving open speculation that the US was prepared to further dramatically escalate its military response.
In close coordination with Israel Prime Minister Netanyahu, early assertions that Iran was in a weakened state have not materialized. Almost two weeks into the conflict, with mid-term elections looming, the President's vulnerable political state amidst sinking approval polls cannot avoid the precarious reality that the war had not occurred as anticipated.
In response to the frustration, the US has undertaken an indiscriminate carpet bombing campaign throughout Teheran, its capital city with a population of ten million. Those bombings include direct attacks on the civilian population, schools, hospitals, residential buildings and other noncombatant infrastructure. All would be considered war crime violations under the Geneva Conventions and the Nuremberg Codes.
As a result of the targeted assassination of the Ayatollah, the Trump-Netanyahu team expected Iran to succumb to a lack of leadership yet those early days passed without any sign of collapse by Iran and were stunned by Iran's vociferous response.
The war has not proven to be the speedy, crowning success that Trump had been led to believe as he struggles to find the exit.

CIA Analyst Larry Johnson: USA Just Made a Huge Mistake in Iran - YouTube

The conflict between the United States and Iran is rapidly escalating - and many experts believe we may be entering one of the most dangerous geopolitical moments in decades.
In this exclusive interview, former CIA analyst Larry Johnson joins the show to break down the latest developments in the Iran war and explain what the mainstream media is not telling you.
We discuss the recent U.S. strikes, the growing risk of boots on the ground, and whether Washington has a clear strategy for what comes next. With tensions rising across the Middle East, the big question now is whether this conflict could spiral into a much larger regional war.
In this conversation we explore:
What the latest U.S. military strikes really mean
Whether American troops could soon be deployed on the ground
How Iran is likely to respond to continued attacks
Whether this war can be contained - or if escalation is inevitable
The strategic mistakes that may already be shaping the outcome of this conflict

Iran's Asymmetrical War /Alastair Crooke & Lt Col Daniel Davis - YouTube

Iran's naval strategy is based on asymmetric warfare, not a traditional Western-style navy. Instead of large warships, Iran relies on coastal missiles, submersible drones, fast attack boats, and 25-35 mini-submarines capable of launching anti-ship missiles. These systems make the Strait of Hormuz difficult to defend and allow Iran to threaten oil tankers and military vessels. Even occasional successful attacks could frighten commercial shipping and effectively shut the strait.
Because the strait is only about 21 km wide near Iran, Iranian artillery, missiles, and naval drones could control the passage. Protecting tankers would require large convoy operations and possibly ground forces securing vast coastal territory, something analysts say would be extremely difficult.
The discussion argues that Iran's strategy focuses on long-term disruption and logistics, while the U.S. and its allies expected a short war. Rising oil prices show the economic pressure building. Iran may also expand the conflict through allies such as the Houthis, potentially threatening alternative oil routes in the Red Sea.
Overall, the argument is that Iran planned for a prolonged asymmetric conflict, aiming to strain Western logistics, global energy markets, and political pressure rather than win through conventional military battles.

Update: US Middle-East Bases DESTROYED. Israel Defenseless | Larry C Johnson - YouTube

Operation Epic Failure is unraveling in front of our eyes. While the US managed to kill over 1000 Iranians in the first 10 days of it's mass-slaughter, it is failing massively at constraining the country's second strike capabilities. Every attack by the US/Israeli alliance is met with an immediate response. The US radar system in the region has been whipped out and no US navy vessel dares to come within striking range of the IRGC. And Tehran is not signaling any willingness to stop before its demands for reparations and a complete US withdrawal from the region are met. Trump's team is visibly panicking.

US aircraft losses mount as Washington struggles to contain narrative amid expanding Iran conflict - Tehran Times

TEHRAN - The United States appears to be concealing the scale of its military losses as its joint campaign with Israel against Iran enters its third week, with a series of aircraft incidents and rising casualties challenging Washington's efforts to project control.

Bombed, but standing - Tehran Times

TEHRAN - She was a middle-aged woman residing in Tehran. For the past two weeks, she had been taking part in every demonstration held in the capital. On Friday, attending the mass rallies marking the international Quds Day was a no-brainer, one of the individuals accompanying her told an Iranian reporter, as she lay on the ground in her blood.
The woman lost her life during one of multiple bombings carried out in central Tehran by the U.S. and Israel, as around three million Tehrani residents, according to unofficial estimates, marched through the capital's streets. The woman's identity was still unknown to the Iranian public at the time of writing this report. But everyone had seen the flag she had been holding, drenched in blood, raised by another demonstrator and presented to the crowd after her death. A picture of the woman on the ground, with a man-probably her husband-crouching down and hugging her lifeless body also circulated around the Internet.
This harrowing account of a U.S.-Israeli crime, however, did not make the Iranian people want to leave the streets that day and take shelter in their homes, which have also been coming under attack by the U.S. and Israel since February 28, the day the two regimes assassinated Iran's Leader, Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei.
