Islamic Resistance™️ in Iraq edition
>The first day of the funeral procession for the late Iranian Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei, who died alongside family members at the beginning of the US-Israel war on Iran, has come to a close.
<UK and French leaders issued a joint statement regarding the Strait of Hormuz, describing it as “a vital artery for the global economy” and stressing that “restoring safe transit for ships of all nations through the strait is a matter of global concern”.
>Tehran pledged to deploy every available judicial and diplomatic channel to challenge what the Iranian president characterised as unlawful acts perpetrated against the country by the US and Israel.
<Israeli settlers stepped up their incursions and land seizures across the occupied West Bank, launching assaults that involved taking over or destroying Palestinian homes and vandalising critical infrastructure, including water springs, power lines and greenhouses.
>The Israeli military announced that it targeted approximately 10 “Hezbollah infrastructure sites” across southern Lebanon.
<Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu held talks with US President Donald Trump, and the two leaders agreed to hold a meeting in the United States. According to the International Organization for Migration (IOM), upwards of 640,000 displaced individuals in Lebanon have gone back to their homes following a US-Tehran agreement signed last month that incorporated a ceasefire in Lebanon.
>Yemen’s Houthis warned they will target Saudi Arabian airports and critical infrastructure if Riyadh breaches their airspace or launches an attack, following accusations by the Iran-backed group that the kingdom committed an airspace violation.
All quite on the inter-imperialist front
Any big predictions for America 250 weekend?
Six PDKI peshmerga killed in ambush by Iranian forces; no sign of renewed insurgencyThe killing of six members of the Democratic Party of Iranian Kurdistan (PDKI) in an ambush by the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) in northwestern Iran on the evening of July 1 comes amid mounting pressure by Tehran on Iranian Kurdish opposition groups based in Iraqi Kurdistan.
According to a PDKI statement issued on July 2, five peshmerga and a local party member who was transporting them were killed after falling into an ambush near the city of Piranshahr in the West Azerbaijan Province, by what the party described as a large and heavily equipped IRGC force. Reports indicate that the vehicle carrying the group was struck by an RPG rocket.
Beyond the military dimension of the incident, the wording of the PDKI communiqué deserves attention. The statement was issued not by the party’s Peshmerga Commission, which normally announces casualties among officially based peshmergas operating from Iraqi Kurdistan, but by the Commission for the Organization of Secret Cells. It also described the victims as “city peshmerga,” a term generally referring to underground activists operating inside Iran rather than fighters dispatched from Iraqi Kurdistan.
This distinction is unlikely to be accidental. Although Iranian authorities have already publicized the identities of those killed, the PDKI appears determined not to officially confirm that it had sent armed units from Iraqi Kurdistan into Iran. This formulation is consistent both with the tacit security arrangement imposed by Baghdad and Erbil, under Iranian pressure, prohibiting Iranian Kurdish parties from sending peshmergas from Iraqi territory into Iran and recent public statements by the party’s leadership.
Only days before the ambush, PDKI leader Mustafa Hijri stated in a widely circulated interview with VOA Persian that the party’s current strategy does not involve sending peshmerga forces into Iran for military operations. Instead, he stressed that the priority is popular and civilian forms of resistance. At the same time, he reaffirmed that party members have the legitimate right to return to their homeland whenever circumstances require or permit.
Even if Iran were able to demonstrate that these fighters had entered Iran from Iraqi Kurdistan, this would not necessarily support the claim that they had crossed the border to conduct armed operations. According to sources cited by The Amargi, they had already been inside Iran for approximately two weeks before the ambush, suggesting that their presence was not connected to an immediate military mission.
The incident also comes against the backdrop of expectations that emerged during the recent United States-Israel confrontation with Iran. At the time, parts of the Iranian Kurdish public, as well as some international observers, anticipated that Iranian Kurdish parties might open a ground front against Tehran, thereby contributing to the weakening, or even collapse, of the Islamic Republic. That scenario never materialized.
Tehran, however, has not eased its pressure on the Kurdish opposition. On the contrary, drone and missile strikes against Iranian Kurdish parties in Iraqi Kurdistan have continued, while political pressure on Baghdad and the Kurdistan Regional Government has intensified. Iran has renewed demands for the extradition of Kurdish opposition leaders and even for the complete expulsion of these parties from Iraqi territory. At the same time, targeted assassinations appear to have resumed. Most recently, on June 27, Soran Mohammadzadeh, a member of the Kurdistan Freedom Party (PAK), was assassinated in Erbil.
The PDKI losses follow separate deadly clashes involving Kurdistan Free Life Party (PJAK) guerrillas in Gagash, near Mahabad. Despite the fact that PDKI and PJAK both belong to the Coalition of Political Forces of Iranian Kurdistan, there is little evidence that these incidents reflect a coordinated shift toward a renewed armed campaign. Rather, they appear to represent limited tactical responses aimed at reassuring their respective constituencies while demonstrating to Tehran that Kurdish organizations retain the capacity to impose security costs should Iranian pressure continue to escalate.
For now, the clashes do not indicate the formal resumption of the armed insurgency that largely subsided over the past decades. On the contrary, the strategic environment appears less favorable than during the recent regional war. Iran’s leadership appears to have regained confidence after weathering the crisis, reducing the incentives for Kurdish parties to embark on a broader military confrontation. The latest fighting therefore illustrates a growing cycle of pressure and counter-pressure rather than the opening of a new phase of organized armed conflict.

I'm bored sisters when are the explosions happening again? Where's my anti-imperialist jihad?
>>2859825Sorry but the anti imperialist jihad has been postponed until Donald wants to play with the stock market again
>>2860023What kind of retards definition of democracy is this?
*Cuckmenei
>>2860219How did he know the bombs were going to fall exactly?
Also also, remember that when Iran sells out Yemen too, in the likely conflict. All for China. All of them will lay their states and every single worker as a paving stone for a chance to be in the good graces of the next hegemon.
>>2860224The bombs are going to fall where Khamenei is. Iran is crawling with enemy glowies, they know.
>>2860219>blah blah I love Zionists bombing kids blah blah some stupid shit about muh RomanovsThank god Iran hanged Tudeh on cranes, most useless fucks in the region
>>2859709Our comrades in the Arak Soviet have told me their victory will crystalize any day now
>>2861016Tudeh were MLs btw the only reason you hate them is because they were brown and you can't bring yourself to view them as equals.
>Hamas announces end of its government in Gaza — but technocrat government in waiting stuck in Egypt
So what did Hamas achieve exactly aside from killing few Israelis and conceding Gaza to Trump and his international investors, same ones who annihilated it in the first place?
We Marxists expected as much but how are the islamic pilled western retards feeling right now? I bet their labor aristocrat campist ass would say the genocide was worth because Iranian imperialism still lives or some shit.
>>2861041I can't believe class collaboration failed again, some poster here told me it was a fail proof strat because Mao did it almost 100 years ago in semi-feudal China (it ended in full capitalist restoration and capitulation to the west a few decades later but it had aura or something)
>>2861051No Marxist blame Palestinians for class collaboration when they're under occupation and every social movement they have is hijacked by imperialists who grind them down for their own ends. It's the class collaboration and naked demagogue of western leftists, the cheerleaders of the status quo, that should be blamed.
>>2859228What I don’t get about the war on terror is this. Al Qaeda manages to build a global network and wage an insurgency in over 10 countries when everyone in the 90s told them America was too powerful and their rinky dink org wouldn’t achieve anything. And they were so good at it that ISIS copied them. What the hell was stopping leftists? Where’s the left wing Al Qaeda? Why didn’t leftists ever think of doing their own version of this? Building a franchise org that wages actual war in over 10 countries?
>>2861061because al auida had state, intelligence, loads of private money backing it since the late 70s.
>>2861016Most useless fucks thanks to the soviet-advised popular front with the islamist retards
>>2861063There’s a myth that al Qaeda was wealthy and state backed and this isn’t true. According to insiders, it was basically broke, running on fumes. In 1998 they had less than a hundred members and a couple thousand dollars in cash. The 9/11 hijackers even returned their rental cars and had to wire the money back to Afghanistan. 9/11 was done on the cheap. Rumsfeld and Michael Parenti want you to think otherwise. It’s an excuse for leftists to justify doing nothing.
>>2861061The methods of Al-Qaeda would be meaningless in the hands of socialists, because our goal is not a military confrontation. Besides that there's the historical example of every SEA and LatAm country having leftist insurgencies and armed groups. They didn't end up winning because they were facing a much stronger and well-prepared military force and the ones that still exist have either retreated into being gangs or a mild nuisance for the governments.
>>2861069What methods? Suicide bombing (invented by anarchists), attacks on political targets (Vietcong did it), international terrorism (PLO, PFLP did it) guerrilla warfare. Bin Laden’s innovation is that he didn’t do this in one country but built an org with chapters everywhere that takes volunteers from anywhere regardless of background. It’s the ultimate example of a group that fights for an idea and not a country. They always came close to toppling regimes and have caused endless headache for the US empire and Russia too. They’ve disseminated their tactics and strategy so literally anyone can start an al Qaeda style branch in their own country with like 10 guys and a couple hundred dollars. They did this on the cheap while the world’s intelligence agencies and militaries went all out to destroy them. Say what you like about them, but that’s pretty damn impressive.
>>2860219Islamist retard only know dying lmao
>>2861021I remember the same jokes when the CSTO killed protestors in Kazakhstan. Framing class struggle itself as useless or utopian to deepthroat brown small capitalists. Mindless nationalism.
>>2861057>It's the class collaboration and naked demagogue of westernAhhhhh ok islamists did nothing. It's all muh western "leftists" fault

>As Pape wrote in his Substack:
<Leaders who might previously have worried about the domestic costs of prolonged confrontation have now witnessed an extraordinary public demonstration of nationalist solidarity. That makes it easier—not harder—to demand more.
<Everyone is watching shipping in Hormuz.
<What actually matters is Iran’s demands.
<The consequences extend far beyond Tehran.
<It means harder Iranian negotiating demands are now more likely just as the global economy approaches its most vulnerable period. The next two to three weeks may determine whether August brings elevated energy prices—or a genuine global economic shock.
<The strategic question is no longer whether US-Iran talks eventually resume. It is whether the political conditions now exist for Iran to press for substantially greater concessions precisely when time is beginning to work in its favor.
>As Pape suggests the struggle over Strait of Hormuz control continues to escalate, it does not merely mean ship passages will stay at their current “not high enough to prevent going over the oil cliff” levels but drop further, intensifying the supply crisis for oil and other important cargoes. That hurts many innocent bystanders far more than the US. Commentators have regularly pointed out that wealthy nations, and in particular the US, will be less harmed by choking the Strait of Hormuz than poor nations. Look at Sri Lanka, India, Indonesia and the Philippines as poster children.
>This may seem like a secondary matter, but Putin has been explicit that when it comes to an existential threat, Russia is willing to take down the rest of the world.1 Iran does not seem to have confronted the conundrum, that to get its (entirely deserved) revenge on the US, if it uses the very blunt instrument of extended closure of the Strait of Hormuz, many forecast a worse-than-Great Depression-level economic meltdown. A world of extended supply chains, complex manufacturing processes, and need for critical materials means that when businesses fail, they have “for the want of a nail, the shoe was lost” knock-on effects. And when commercial enterprises dissolve and their staff moves on, they typically cannot be reconstituted. They need to be rebuilt. That is difficult to begin with and even more so in a setting of widespread want.
>To put it more graphically: There remains no overlap between the US and Iran bargaining positions. If anything, per Pape, the gap is set to widen. But to punish the US and Israel, Iran will wind up machine gunning down a crowd to get to them.2 Some commentators have suggested that the reason Iran entered into the Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) as opposed to continuing to prosecute the war were the entreaties from nations suffering serious harm from the closure of the Strait of Hormuz. >>2861415>emdashes>everyone is watching… what actually matters isIs this LLM slop?
>>2861067Gets owned by Islamist retard anyways Award
>>2861027Stick to actual gorilla warfare on Zionists instead of whining on the internet, you'd get support from brown ppl btw
>>2861441Why don't you email Pape and find out for yourself you dumb bitch?
U.S. Central Command forces have begun launching a series of powerful strikes against Iran to impose heavy costs for targeting and attacking commercial shipping crewed by innocent civilians in an international waterway. The U.S. strikes are in response to Iranian attacks on three commercial vessels that were transiting the Strait of Hormuz. Iran’s demonstrated aggression was unwarranted, dangerous, and a clear violation of the ceasefire.
https://x.com/CENTCOM/status/2074603238175998290It seems the peace between Qandil and Tehran will probably hold, despite i think some factions on both sides wanting it:
>>2861586<Following the agreement between America and Iran, the Iranian state turned its attention to the Kurds. There are repressions, operations, and executions in Kurdistan. What are your thoughts on this?
>First of all, the war between America and Iran has stopped. That's a good thing. We hope this reconciliation will be permanent, not just temporary. Because this war wasn't a war of the people. The people had no interest in it. Problems cannot be solved with violence, war, and death. Everyone needs to know that.>But if, after the war ends, some Iranian forces turn their attention to the Kurds, if they attack the Kurdish people, that would be a grave mistake. The Kurdish people did not take sides in the US-Iran war. For example, PJAK said, "We are defending the third line." Yes, there were some rumors, but the reality is clear; the Kurds did not take sides in this war. The Iranian state needs to see this and not attack the Kurdish people.>Yes, we also hear about some conflicts and martyrdoms. I remember with respect and reverence the martyrs who fell in Rojhilatê Kurdistan during this period. They are martyrs of freedom. However, a war between the Kurds and the Iranian state at this time would not benefit either side. The Islamic Republic of Iran would not gain anything from it, nor would our people. That is our opinion. Therefore, dialogue and political solutions should be sought. Couldn't Iran also solve its problems through political means? That would be the right thing to do. But if they attack the people, if they assault them, of course our people there will defend themselves. Representatives of our people in Rojhilatê Kurdistan have already declared this; they said, "We don't want war, but if they attack us, we will defend ourselves." This needs to be understood. Therefore, the war should not escalate further; different methods of struggle should be employed. Our people in Rojhilatê Kurdistan possess a valuable history. Their history includes resistance; they are patriotic. I greet the people of Rojhilatê Kurdistan with love and respect. We know and understand the difficulties they are facing today. We hope these difficulties will pass. Everyone needs to follow the right path and methods, and do the right things at the right time. Sometimes, some things are right, but the timing is wrong. Therefore, the timing must also be right. It is necessary to distinguish between these things and, accordingly, undoubtedly, to uphold the values of freedom and democracy under all circumstances. The people of Rojhilatê Kurdistan have carried out their duties in this way until now, and we hope that they will continue to uphold their role and mission within this framework in the future.>>2861570Trump will be trapped forever

>>2861069>The methods of Al-Qaeda would be meaningless in the hands of socialists, because our goal is not a military confrontation. Worth pointing out that a global war with the U.S. being a great idea was not at all a unanimous opinion inside Al Qaeda when they did 9/11 and there are jihadi guys who think the whole thing was a disaster at least in tactical / strategic terms. They still had to back up the group when it happened for streed cred but you know.

This comes after explosions were reported by Iranian semi-official media in southern coastal Iran.

<00:03 GMT<A recap of recent developments
>The US launches further strikes on Iran, with explosions reported in cities along the Strait of Hormuz, including Bushehr, Chabahar, Bandar Abbas, Sirik, Jask and Abu Musa Island. <The attacks killed at least one person in the city of Iranshahr, and caused widespread power outages in Chabahar, where two docks and a maritime traffic control tower were also hit. >US President Donald Trump says the attacks were “in retribution” for alleged Iranian bombings of ships in the Strait of Hormuz, warning: “If it happens again, it will get much worse.” <Earlier, Trump had declared the Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) signed with Iran on June 16 “over” and again threatened to hit the country’s electric and desalination plants. >Iran’s Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi says Iranians “do not answer vulgarity with vulgarity, but with action”, while Deputy Foreign Minister Kazem Gharibabadi says Trump’s comments were “not a sign of strength, but rather an admission of the failure of a policy built on brute force”. <Iran’s slain Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei will be buried in his hometown of Mashhad today, after funeral processions attended by millions in Iraqi cities of Najaf and Karbala. >Israeli forces keep up attacks on Gaza and Lebanon, killing at least eight in the Palestinian territory and two men in Nabatieh al-Fawqa. >>2862460>by millionsIt's a million at most including all the religious tourists lol

>>2862799hurry up and fucking do it please oh my god
>>2862799Iranians are all bluster. They won't do anything. Persians are American nuthuggers. All they really want is to be friends with America one day. Talk to the average middle class Iranian and you get these "we're white people ackschually" vibes off them. There's a real danger that this war has become a dual charade. The Iranian government replays the same old revolutionary beats but just wants concessions and the Americans… well nobody knows what the fuck they want and how this furthers their desire for global mastery. I don't see Iran killing Trump anytime soon.
>>2861605Kurdish groups are nothing but mercs for whatever power decides to back them. The PKK was a Syrian Mukhabarat op gone wrong. Both sides in the Iran Iraq war backed different Kurdish factions. They became mercs for America in the 90s and 2000s. The supposedly anarchist Rojavaites were pawns of the US empire and operated concentration camps like al Hol for uncle sam. They don't do anything until Washington, or some other group, makes a move.

Ending US presence in Iraq goes through Tehran
Russia open to Turkey selling S-400 air defence systems to UAEThe Russian government views the potential sale of S-400 air defence systems currently operated by Turkey to the United Arab Emirates in a “positive light”, multiple sources familiar with the issue told Middle East Eye, while cautioning that negotiations have yet to be completed.
The Russian S-400 systems, purchased by Turkey in 2019, have been a major headache for Ankara. The acquisition led to Turkey’s removal from the fifth-generation F-35 fighter jet programme and triggered a series of US sanctions on Turkey’s defence industry.
The US still holds six of the jets in storage, as their transfer to Turkey was also blocked by US legislation in 2020.
As the US and Turkey repair relations following Donald Trump’s return to office in 2025, the S-400 issue, and Turkey’s possible return to the F-35 programme, have become crucial topics of discussion.
The 2020 National Defense Authorization Act mandates that the US government ensure Turkey no longer possesses the S-400 systems before it is allowed to receive the F-35 jets. The legislation also tightens the conditions for lifting sanctions imposed on Turkey by Trump in 2019.
Several Turkish sources pointed out that the UAE already operates some Russian air defence systems, such as the Pantsir.
They added that Abu Dhabi has been diversifying its weapons procurement from different countries to strengthen its overall defence capabilities.

‘Deeply concerned over deteriorating situation’: UN envoy to YemenThe UN envoy to Yemen has expressed deep concern over the deteriorating situation in country.
Yemen’s Saudi-backed government said it hit Houthi-controlled Sanaa international airport to prevent an Iranian aircraft from landing.
The government has also announced the closure of all airports “until further notice” and said it would not allow Yemen’s airspace to the violated.
In a statement on X , Hans Grundberg urged all sides to exercise restraint, saying there were risks of a wider escalation.

escalations
Saudi-led coalition will not allow Iran, allies to ‘impose new reality’ in YemenAll actors in Yemen would want to limit their confrontation after attacks on Sanaa and Hodeidah so as not to draw attention away from the US war on Iran, political analyst Hisham al-Omeisy told Al Jazeera.
“I think this will be a limited military escalation, especially with the Americans and others waging another war – they won’t want to draw all of that firepower to Yemen,” he said.

US military says reinstated naval blockade of Iran to begin on TuesdayThe US Navy-led Joint Maritime Information Centre (JMIC) has issued a statement saying the blockade of Iranian ports and coastal areas that was announced by Trump earlier today will begin at 20:00 GMT on July 14.
“US Central Command will begin enforcement of a naval blockade of all Iranian ports and Iranian coastal areas. All neutral vessels are hereby warned and have the period until enforcement begins to depart the blockaded area,” said JMIC.
The blockade will encompass the entirety of Iran’s southern coast, including ports and oil terminals. JMIC said the measure will not impede neutral transit through the Strait of Hormuz travelling to or from non-Iranian destinations and humanitarian shipments will be permitted, pending inspections.
“Ships aiding vessels circumventing the blockade by conducting ship-to-ship transfers with them are suspected of working with or for Iran and will be subject to boarding. Enforcement actions include disabling and destructive fires upon vessels who do not demonstrate immediate compliance with blockading/boarding forces,” it added.

In early 2024, the rector of a university in Budapest received a startling request from a top Hungarian government official.
The official told the rector, Professor Gergely Deli, that Ludovika University of Public Service should hold a climate change conference and extend an invitation to an unlikely guest: Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, the widely reviled former president of Iran.
Even more shocking was the reason. The official told Mr. Deli that the conference was merely a front for Mr. Ahmadinejad to have secret discussions in Budapest with intelligence operatives from Israel, Mr. Ahmadinejad’s avowed enemy.
Mr. Ahmadinejad’s 2024 visit to the university and a second one the following year were part of a yearslong Israeli effort to groom him as an intelligence asset who, when the time came, could be installed as Iran’s new leader, according to both American and Iranian officials familiar with the operation, who spoke on the condition of anonymity to describe sensitive intelligence.
In recent years, according to American officials, Israel secretly paid money to Mr. Ahmadinejad for housing and travel, and Israeli operatives met him abroad on several occasions, including during his trips to Budapest.
The effort culminated in late February of this year — during the first days of the U.S.-Israeli war on Iran — with an audacious operation to relocate the former leader, who had been living under strict surveillance in Tehran. The goal: to set in motion the plan to topple the current regime and install Mr. Ahmadinejad.
The plan failed.On Feb. 28, an Israeli airstrike hit Mr. Ahmadinejad’s compound, targeting the building of his bodyguards and his armored vehicle. After the strike, according to four senior Iranian officials, a black Peugeot car arrived, picked up Mr. Ahmadinejad and whisked him away at high speed from the chaotic scene.
American and Iranian officials with knowledge of the operation said the car had been driven by Mossad operatives, who took Mr. Ahmadinejad to a secret safe house in Iran.
But the former Iranian leader was upset about the frantic rescue operation, and he appeared to be disillusioned about the Israeli plan to return him to power, according to people with knowledge of what occurred.
Israeli officials have not commented publicly about the plan to install Mr. Ahmadinejad as Iran’s leader, which was part of a broader attempt to topple the government in Tehran. Another element involved arming and training Iranian Kurdish opposition forces based in northern Iraq to cross into western Iran, hold territory there and eventually move toward the capital Tehran, an effort that never manifested.
https://archive.is/0A3gY>>2866027Mr. Ahmadinejad’s relationship with the Iranian government was complicated. Senior leaders marginalized him and restricted his movements, yet they allowed him a seat alongside other senior officials on a high-level council that advises the supreme leader. He attended the council’s meeting in February, a few days before the war began.
Mr. Ahmadinejad told a handful of his closest associates and confidants about his ambitions to become Iran’s future leader with the help of foreign powers, according to an associate in his close circle, who spoke on the condition of anonymity to describe private discussions.
Mr. Ahmadinejad became disillusioned with the Islamic republic system after he was disqualified to run for president three times, the associate said, and concluded that he could not ascend to power as long as the current system remained in place.
He was concerned that, in the event of a war and regime change, Americans and Israelis would choose some opposition figure outside Iran who did not know the country and Iran would be destabilized, the associate said. He described himself to those around him as someone who could play the role of a reformer, like the former Russian president Boris Yeltsin, and said that if he came to power, Iran would recognize Israel and normalize relations as part of President Trump’s Abraham Accords, the associate said.
After the Israeli strike
this year that initially freed Mr. Ahmadinejad from surveillance by the Guards, Iran’s intelligence agencies
began investigating and piecing together his connection to Israel, according to the four officials.

>>2866112The righteous anger of the world proletariat
>>2866055In fact, Ahmadinejad was only one piece of the regime-change project. The plan also included influence operations inside Iran, a program to arm and train Kurdish forces in Iraq, the activation of other minority groups to destabilize the regime, and Air Force plans to establish a land corridor for the movement of militias.
There were also deep disagreements.
Maj. Gen. Shlomi Binder, director of Military Intelligence, concluded that the plan had little chance of success. Brig. Gen. Ofir Mizrahi-Rosen, head of Military Intelligence's Research Division, wrote an entire document questioning the ambitious operation. National Security Adviser Tzachi Hanegbi withdrew from the planning after concluding it amounted to little more than wild fantasies. Then, three days before H-hour, the disagreements reached such a boiling point that IDF Chief of Staff Eyal Zamir ordered everything to stop. Netanyahu, however, decided to move ahead.
When news of Raisi's death reached Mossad headquarters in Glilot, officials noticed an unexpected response: scenes of joy in the streets of Tehran. The agency already knew the regime was showing signs of strain. A year earlier, protests had continued to simmer after the death of Mahsa Amini, who had been arrested for allegedly violating Iran's mandatory hijab rules. The morality police had scaled back their presence, and the government was struggling under the weight of international sanctions.
Still, public rejoicing over the president's death was highly unusual. To the Mossad, it was a sign of things to come. The agency concluded that the regime was weaker than generally believed and saw an opportunity.
When Netanyahu summoned Barnea and instructed him to redirect resources to the new mission, it marked a sharp break from a policy that had been in place for nearly two decades. Before Netanyahu returned to power in 2009, then-Prime Minister Ehud Olmert had asked then-Mossad chief Meir Dagan to examine whether Israel could tackle the Iranian regime at its root.
"Dagan's answer was no," Olmert says. "We carried out all kinds of influence operations and found they had no real value."
Two years ago, when Netanyahu instructed Barnea to change course, he asked him to begin with a more modest objective: not overthrowing the regime, but destabilizing it.
The Mossad began planning influence operations and activities designed to stir the Iranian public. One set of proposals focused on sowing discord among the country's many minority groups. Others aimed to amplify genuine public protests using advanced technological tools and local collaborators.
The Syrian rebels advanced almost unopposed from Aleppo to Hama, from Hama to Homs, from Homs to Damascus. Along the way, Assad's soldiers shed their uniforms, changed into civilian clothes and abandoned their posts. The world watched in astonishment as the regime unraveled. Within a week and a half, the rebels had reached the gates of Damascus.
According to several sources, the prime minister was captivated by what the militia led by Abu Mohammad al-Julani had accomplished. Within weeks, the former jihadist commander would become Syria's president under another name – Ahmad al-Sharaa.
"Al-Julani basically inspired the prime minister," says a source who took part in the security discussions at the time. "After what happened in Syria, Netanyahu went to the Mossad and said that if they wanted to overthrow the Iranian regime, they needed people on the ground – boots on the ground. They needed armed fighters who could ignite unrest."
Al-Julani's success gave birth to the Kurdish plan: arming and training militias in Iraqi Kurdistan and providing air support for an invasion of western Iran. Yet even before the Mossad began to concoct this scheme, it raised eyebrows throughout the defense establishment. Within the Mossad itself, there was genuine unease.
Syria, several sources point out, was already a fractured and impoverished country before the civil war. By 2024, after 13 years of fighting, it was utterly devastated. Comparing Syria to Iran, they argue, bordered on a loss of touch with reality. Iran is an economic power with a population nearly four times larger. It is a country of 90 million people, roughly a third of whom are employed directly or indirectly by the state and its security apparatus.
But Netanyahu insisted, and Barnea committed himself fully. Once the decision had been made, the Kurdish militias became the natural choice. The Kurds are one of Iran's largest minorities, and relations between them and the regime in Tehran have long been tense. Tens of thousands of Kurdish activists operate from bases in Iraq's Kurdish region, actively opposing the regime with CIA patronage. Just as importantly, the Mossad has maintained ties with Kurdish groups since the 1970s, and those ties have only grown deeper.
As Israel moved forward with the plan, the Mossad mapped the various Kurdish groups. Several of the groups it approached expressed a willingness to participate. Others were deliberately excluded. The Mossad decided not to involve factions identified with an explicitly anti-Turkish agenda, fearing that doing so would alarm Ankara and complicate the operation.
>>2866119It's all so simple now
>>2866117A month and a half after the Syrian rebels' successful offensive, the heads of the coalition parties convened in Jerusalem for the inner security cabinet (a smaller forum than the full security cabinet, made up of senior ministers, and working under the security cabinet). Netanyahu had not yet spoken to ministers about regime change. The Mossad led the discussion, presenting possible ways to exert influence inside Iran. Its message was straightforward: achieving meaningful leverage – enough to destabilize the regime – would require about three years of work.
From the outset, the Mossad understood that if it wanted to influence Iranian public opinion, it first needed a meaningful foothold in Tehran's Grand Bazaar, a sprawling network of covered alleys and trading routes stretching for some 10 kilometers through the heart of the capital, which serves as a public pulse meter. A town square on steroids.
For years, the Grand Bazaar had served as the birthplace of Iran's most significant protest movements. Demonstrations that begin there are widely seen as genuine expressions of economic hardship rather than political agitation, giving them a degree of public legitimacy. The Mossad knew that what happened in the Bazaar happened throughout Tehran, and what happened throughout Tehran happened across Iran.
Throughout 2025, the Mossad devoted considerable resources to expanding its influence in the Bazaar through agents working for it. The objective was to cultivate a public mood that would emerge from the grassroots. The agency believed the next major wave of protests would begin in the Bazaar – as it eventually did – and sought to accelerate it.
Al-Julani's rapid success in Syria was more than a shot of motivation for Netanyahu. In the days following the fall of the Assad regime, the Israeli Air Force destroyed Russian-made air defense systems in Syria, opening a safe aerial corridor to Iran. On June 13, Israeli warplanes headed east, launching the operation.
Then, on December 28, a second turning point arrived. Protests erupted in Tehran's Grand Bazaar as soaring inflation and the collapse of the rial drove thousands into the streets. The demonstrations spread rapidly.
Netanyahu understood that the timetable had suddenly accelerated. He summoned IDF Chief of Staff Eyal Zamir and Mossad chief David Barnea for a situation assessment. Could the military prepare an attack plan on short notice? he asked Zamir. Could the regime actually be overthrown if the campaign began that winter? he asked Barnea.
In the weeks leading up to the conflict, Mossad agents and senior Kurdish militia commanders planned the operation together. Israeli officials were struck by how organized the Kurdish forces appeared for guerrilla fighters. They encountered commanders in suits who had studied at prestigious universities in the United States and Britain, many women serving in combat units and an organization that projected an overall orderly structure.
The planning phase proceeded concurrently with an effort to arm the Kurds with weapons captured from Hezbollah during the war in Lebanon. Mossad agents instructed the Kurdish commanders on how to use the systems, and after several days of grueling training, they filmed a video documenting the preparations.
"We saw enormous hangars filled with weapons and equipment," recalls a source who viewed the footage. "There were ranks of impeccably turned-out soldiers, trucks loaded with supplies. You could see that everything was meticulously organized."
Under the plan, Kurdish forces would invade western Iran under the cover of Israeli Air Force strikes intended to carve out a corridor free of Iranian forces. Their initial objective was to seize two cities in Iran's Kurdish region, Kermanshah and Marivan, both close to the Iraqi border. There they were expected to link up with sympathetic local residents and local Kurdish fighters.
At the same time, other minority groups working with the Mossad were to launch operations elsewhere in the country. The idea was to pull Iranian forces away from the center toward the periphery, and launch a combined U.S.-Israeli air campaign to strike the regime's leadership and security apparatus. Then, once Iranian forces had been battered and dispersed, the next phase would be to destabilize Tehran and other major cities, signal to the Iranian public that the regime was under attack from all sides and encourage them to seize the reins amid the ensuing chaos.
The Mossad intended to combine that phase of protests and disorder with a series of operations designed to stabilize a new governing order in a controlled and engineered manner. The final stage envisioned influence operations that would position Ahmadinejad as the natural successor.
In Israel, Ahmadinejad was often viewed as a political figure whose time had passed. Inside Iran, however, he remained widely popular. Israeli officials believe that his popularity is also the reason the regime has refrained from harming him, despite his ties to Israel being known.
People in the Mossad insist the invasion was not so limited. The Mossad estimated that some 16,000 Kurdish fighters would take part in the initial assault, with their numbers growing as the campaign progressed. Like Netanyahu, Barnea and his people also clung to the example of al-Julani, who set out with only a few thousand fighters before his force swelled to tens of thousands. The Mossad also mapped Iranian weapons depots that could be captured as the invasion deepened, ensuring a continuous supply of ammunition for the militias.
Israel prepared a contingency plan for a particularly optimistic scenario in which the Kurds would advance rapidly and encounter little resistance. In that case, they were expected to send some of their forces to Tehran, while, as in the initial invasion, the Mossad planned to clear their path with Israeli Air Force strikes. The Mossad hoped the Kurds would reach several key neighborhoods in the capital – those identified as opposition strongholds – and help ignite a broader uprising.

A recap of recent developmentsThe US is carrying out more attacks on Iran, with Iranian media reporting explosions in Kish Island, Jam Island, Qeshm Island, Bushehr and Bandar Abbas.
Iran’s army says it attacked US military sites in Kuwait and a “hostile vessel of the American enemy”.
US President Donald Trump says a US blockade will be reinstated on Iranian ports in the coming hours, and Washington will “become the guardian” of the Strait of Hormuz, for a 20 percent fee.
The United Arab Emirates says two of its national tankers have been targeted by Iranian cruise missiles, killing one crew member and wounding several others.
The Houthis in Yemen blame Saudi Arabia for an attack on the Sanaa airport and respond by firing missiles at the kingdom.
Israeli forces continue attacks on Gaza and Lebanon, as the European Commission and several other countries launch an initiative to deliver $1bn in aid projects to help Gaza.
https://aje.news/2znebz?update=4767739 >>2866122Military Intelligence searched for a successful precedent of installing a new government in a regional country from the outside. In the 1980s, Israel had already been burned by its attempt to shape events in Lebanon. In the Palestinian arena, efforts to weaken the Palestinian Authority helped pave the way for Hamas' rise as a military force, while the attempt to overthrow Hamas and replace it with a system of clan rule ended in disappointment after a prolonged war in Gaza. The United States did succeed in bringing about regime change in Afghanistan, but that, too, ultimately ended in failure. Once American forces withdrew, the Taliban retook the reins.
Military Intelligence, by contrast, sought to emphasize the risks, presenting scenarios in which the operation would leave Israel worse off. Intelligence leaders warned that the fall of Khamenei's regime could pave the way for a military government, with no civilian institutions left to counterbalance the Revolutionary Guards. Even a successful operation, they argued, might prove short-lived if the new leader were assassinated. This happened in Lebanon, where Bachir Gemayel was assassinated in 1982, and more recently in Gaza, where Yasser Abu Shabab, who led a new Israel-backed militia challenging Hamas' control of the Strip, died of his wounds after clashes between rival militiamen in December 2025.
The prospect of a military dictatorship in Iran troubled Netanyahu less. On the contrary. Several sources said that for years the prime minister had believed military rule would be preferable to government by clerics. According to senior officials who discussed the issue with him, Netanyahu believed a military regime would be driven by interests and therefore could be influenced, whereas clerical rulers were bound by fanatical ideology. The senior officials who heard this were not convinced. Security apparatus personnel, they believed, could be just as hawkish – perhaps even more so.
The reactions were heated. Ministers confronted Barnea with details from Ahmadinejad's past and voiced strong objections to the plan. "Why bother changing the regime if the alternative is just as bad?" one participant wondered. Barnea had anticipated the response. He patiently explained how the relationship with the former president had developed, outlined his weaknesses, described the value he could bring, and insisted that completing the operation could greatly benefit Israel.
According to a source who was part of the decision-making circle, "Netanyahu was incredibly determined to see the plan through, and people didn't feel they had a compelling counterargument – one that would justify pounding the table in opposition. The prevailing view was that, at worst, it simply wouldn't work. Some were really dismissive of the whole idea.
There were senior officers in the meetings who joked behind the scenes that the Kurds were going to take a huge hit. They would ask when the shooting gallery was going to open. But in the meetings themselves, they didn't push back – probably because they didn't want to stand up to the prime minister and be the party poopers."
The ending is known. Israel and the United States launched a joint attack in Iran. The opening strike succeeded beyond expectations. Khamenei was eliminated. The Iranians were severely hit. The Air Force killed the guards enforcing Ahmadinejad's house arrest, paving his way to freedom. But the Kurdish invasion never materialized. Nor did the other minority groups revolt. The Mossad's grand plan might as well have never existed.
In the weeks that followed, Israel still hoped for a shift in the position of the government in Baku. According to CNN, Azerbaijan, Iran's northern neighbor, had allowed the Mossad to establish a base on its territory for use by intervention teams in the event of an emergency. Later, the base's role was expanded to include drone operations and intelligence gathering. On March 18, at the height of the war, Israel also carried out a rare, one-off strike on targets in the Caspian Sea. Ultimately, though, hopes pinned on this channel also proved futile. Azerbaijan remained on the sidelines and did not deepen its involvement in the war.
Barnea attributes the operation's failure to two factors. The first was a phone call between Trump and Recep Tayyip Erdogan, during which the Turkish president urged him not to cooperate with the Kurds. Erdogan feared that the success of Kurdish minorities in Iran and Iraq would inspire Turkey's own Kurdish minority. The second factor, according to Barnea, was a speech Trump delivered at the beginning of the war, in which he called on Iranian citizens to stay in their homes until the offensive concluded.
In fact, the Haaretz investigation reveals that the Kurdish operation was postponed twice before Trump ultimately canceled it. The original plan called for the invasion to begin on the sixth day of the war. After the opening strike, it was decided that the Kurds would set out two days earlier. But as the new H-hour approached, it became clear that the Air Force was not ready to provide air cover on the revised timetable, and the operation was postponed by several days.
Before the new H-hour, Barnea arrived at the Pit in the Kirya to closely monitor the final preparations for creating a sterile corridor for the militias. The Air Force was ready. This time, however, the Kurds refused to move. At first, a 48-hour delay was discussed. But after a day, everyone understood that the invasion had been canceled.
A series of conversations Haaretz held with senior defense officials paints the following picture: The Kurds were armed and ready. The Air Force was prepared to launch. But the final green light from Washington never came. The Kurds refused to settle for a yellow light.
Militia leaders had made it clear from the outset that American approval was paramount. In meetings with Mossad personnel, they recalled previous cooperation between Kurdish groups and the United States, which had ended disastrously once Washington withdrew its patronage. The men were massacred, the women raped. While some senior Israeli officers were willing to tolerate the possibility of a shooting gallery, on the assumption that, "at worst, it simply wouldn't work," the Kurds had no intention of becoming sitting ducks.
When Barnea realized the endeavor had failed, he ordered Mossad personnel to prepare an alternative regime-change plan within 48 hours. They were stunned. Operations of this kind take years to plan. Nevertheless, two days later they presented Barnea with a new proposal, albeit incomparably more modest than the Kurdish plan.
The alternative operation centered on Chaharshanbe Suri, a pre-Islamic Iranian festival that has become associated with opposition to the regime. On this holiday, which fell on April 17 that year, bonfires are lit and fireworks are set off. The Mossad believed the occasion could provide an opportunity to ignite protests and proposed activating several of the organization's key assets for that purpose. During the year leading up to the war, Israeli agents had established contacts with local leaders inside Iran who were capable of mobilizing people to take to the streets.
<anyone remember clown prince reza shah calling on people to protest on that day?Military Intelligence objected, arguing that there was no realistic chance of sparking a significant protest during the war. Officials warned that activating those assets would expose them and that the operation was more likely to do harm than good. Netanyahu accepted their assessment, and the plan was dropped as quickly as it had emerged.
"You can't carry out a regime change plan in a few months," argues Ram Ben Barak, former deputy Mossad director and a member of the Foreign Affairs and Defense Committee. "I estimated that this plan would take at least a decade. To identify an alternative leadership, choose a leader, recruit people, introduce weapons – that's a tremendous amount of work, with countless failures along the way."
Another factor the sources point to is hubris, combined with a determination to achieve the objective at any cost, to the point of becoming blind to the risks. Just as Netanyahu did not consult his predecessors and was unmoved by Military Intelligence's warnings, the Mossad's leadership behaved much the same way.

Strait status?
>>2866906>Strait status?Iran effectively controlling Hormuz through different strategiesThis is not for the first time that we see controversy where both sides are trying to control the Strait of Hormuz.
From the Iranian perspective, any ship or vessel transiting through the trajectory of this geostrategically significant chokepoint should be coordinating with Iran.
Iran’s Foreign Minister Araghchi says the country which should be compensated for the safety and security of commercial vessels passing through the Hormuz is Iran, not the US.
But practically speaking, we know that Iran is practising a level of authority by effectively not allowing ships to transit if there is no greenlight from the Iranians. What we have witnessed over the past few days is indicative of that.
Several oil tankers which were planning to exit or even approaching the Strait of Hormuz were stopped and even fired upon after what the IRGC called “disregarding warnings from the Iranian side”.
We also know there are mines, and Iran has maintained that the safest passage through the strait is close to the Iranian coastline. Iran’s deputy prime minister told state television that the reason behind the latest round of escalation is the new route the US tried to carve closer to the Omani side of the Hormuz. This is something Iran is not happy about, and this is creating more confrontation on the horizon.

>According to the IRGC, the decision came after a vessel attempted to transit through an “unapproved route” after disabling its tracking systems and ignoring orders to change course. It said it struck the vessel “with warning fire,” forcing it to stop.
>The Iran–U.S. memorandum of understanding states that commercial vessel traffic would be fully restored within 30 days of the agreement, and that Iran “will make arrangements using its best efforts for the safe passage of commercial vessels.” Tehran, therefore, insists that oversight and management of the Strait remains under its control, and that navigation be conducted through its northern route, rather than through the southern U.S.- and allied-backed corridor along the Omani coast. Iran has also maintained that decisions regarding the administration of the Strait will be made exclusively by Tehran and Oman, in dialogue with other Persian Gulf states, in accordance with the MOU. very accurate representation of what the arabs state love to do.
by the way, the israeli transportation ministry issued a prohibition to have more military airplanes in the ben gurion airport. too many air planes are stored there because Iran has destroyed platforms that the us regime uses in arab states.
does anybody want to speculate what's going on with china, and why they cut their oil imports in half? Do they have some kind of deal with the US government? Or do they want leverage over Trump as they can basically raise gas prices on demand? Or are they just flexing as a show of force?
>>2867327Idk but might be trying to avoid demand destruction. High oil prices (globally) is bad for them because it'll damage their own exports.
>>2867355that's a good point, but the US isn't behaving rationally and seems determined to crash the global economy regardless. Eventually they will have to start filling their reserves back up no matter what.
>>2867058> making them look like the aggressorNOBODY thinks they're the aggressor
So is the idea to just crash the whole economy through driving oil up and causing a demand crash so you hide the AI bubble? Is there any idea or thoughts at all? Because the problem with capital destruction through driving up oil means it’s harder and even thinner margins to rebuild said destroyed capital (I think)
>>2867515I think its just the israel lobby realizing the goverment is run by a swiss cheese brained pedo who they can get to destroy their worse enemy they will never have the same chance to attack iran with the american state
>>2867522I get that in the sense of if you’re a zionist you want to punish your racial enemies but aren’t they also dependent on oil and are in a low profit advanced economy anyway (outside of settlements)? Won’t this fuck them medium and long term too?
>>2867526They're safe, Russia and the US ship them all the oil they need
>>2867540I forgot their relationship with Russia, and to be fair so does US media and the multipolar media, it’s just uncomfortable for everyone involved
>>2867549Iran is winning.
>>2867500are we re-editing the Iran-Iarq war, lol?
>>2867522this, tbh.
full dialectical-material analysis.
>>2867526It is usually anover simplification to assume people are just stupid but maybe the israelies are too ideoligically blinded by their propaganda
Maybe netyahoo and co think the global crisis will toughen up the secular jews or that it will be worth the cost since they have no conventional means of inflicting this much damage on iran

>>2867629oil porky? the ones that refused an order from the state to invest in venezuelan refineries because it was risky? that oil porky?
>>2867571I don't know chief, 'israel knows trump is a moron' sounds a solid plan to me, but for the israeli bourgeoisie plan to erase Iran. or…. haven't we seen trump saying he 'won' 50 times, 'Iran wants negotiations' 50 times more, the 'strait is open' 100 times (next day videographic evidence surfaces of ship engulfed in flames) and the SPR is draining at fast pace proving that nothing of what he says is true.
>>2867649I’m talking about the owners of international and finance capital overall, people I naively assumed Israel, or at least its most important bourgeois was subordinated to.
>>2867312Geez, it's as if racial analysis og geopolitics don't make accurate predictions. It's as if some arab states benefit from being US allies…
>>2867779
Workers didn't burn enough mosques in Iran
>>2867865exactly. is a co-dependent relationship. I don't think Iran will be capable of breaking that.
but will it be possible at least for Iran to have some peace and prosperity?
>>2867870Considering Iran isn't going to invade the US to stop the war, no, they're now under permanent siege
>JD Vance Declares War on Israel
>The United States does not deserve a leader who exploits the Republican Party’s historic pro-Israel legacy as a license to delegitimize the Jewish state, stigmatize its American defenders, and place dual citizens under suspicion. While progressives like Zohran Mamdani assault the alliance from an openly hostile left, JD Vance poses a far more insidious threat. By striking from within a party American Jews and pro-Israel voters have long trusted, Vance compromises crucial strategic relationships from the inside, masterfully disguising betrayal as restraint.
<Should “JD Carlson” reach the presidency, the U.S.-Israel alliance could become a liability, Jewishness grounds for suspicion, and loyalty a trial rigged to convict before it begins. America would not merely abandon Israel. A Vance White House could launder one of politics’ oldest hatreds through the vocabulary of “America First,” teaching a free nation to distrust its Jews and rebrand persecution as patriotism.Zionists seething mad at Vance and Tucker carlson

New wave of Iranian precision strikes begins across regionhttps://www.theguardian.com/world/live/2026/jul/15/us-iran-war-live-updates-strikes-trump-power-plants-bridges-middle-east-crisis-latest-newsA new wave of Iranian precision missile strikes has begun against U.S. and allied targets across the region, military officials said. The attacks reportedly targeted strategic facilities and military positions, with air defense systems activated as forces responded. Officials warned that further strikes could follow as tensions continue to escalate.

US forces redirect three ships amid ongoing blockade of IranThe US military has provided an update on its naval blockade of Iran.
US Central Command (CENTCOM) says its forces have redirected three commercial vessels attempting to run the blockade.
They said that one ship that didn’t comply with their orders was “disabled”, while soldiers boarded another vessel in the Gulf of Oman to “ensure full compliance”.
https://aje.news/tf7bqn?update=4778312The hardest party to manage in the Iran talks isn’t IranWashington feared Israel was plotting to kill Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi and Iranian Parliament Speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf, the men leading Iran’s side of the talks.Unable to order its ally to stand down, Washington warned its adversary about its friend. Whether or not a plot existed, the decisive fact is the conduct: Washington judged the danger real enough to act on, and acted.
In this phase, Washington’s most difficult task is not simply keeping Iran at the table; it is preventing its closest ally from removing the table altogether. The hardest party to manage is not the one Washington spent two decades treating as an implacable enemy. It is the one it arms.
https://aje.news/tf7bqn?update=4778193‘Series of explosions in Kuwait’: Fars news agencyIran’s Fars news agency, citing Iraqi media, is reporting a “series of explosions” in Kuwait.
The
blasts could be heard as far away as Basra in southern Iraq, the report said.
https://aje.news/tf7bqn?update=4778171 >>2868117Fake news. No source for the Spruance being hit. It'd be everywhere if that had actually happened.
>>2868538How exactly will they take the beach? They'll be sitting ducks for drones. Its essential putting the troops in a barrel to be shot at. There's no way the military is dumb enough to go forward with it.
>>2868542Hypothetically the U.S. can bring a lot of concentrated firepower to bear in a specific zone (either these islands, or Kharg, and possibly this port). The U.S. achieved that for a short period pretty deep inside Iran while trying to rescue those downed pilots. But it's what happens next, it could turn into something like what Hezbollah has been doing against Israeli soldiers, so every day we'll see another clip of an American soldier getting chased down and killed from the POV of a fiber-optic drone.
>>2868538I always thought zog was like saying zionism. What does zog actually stand for?
>>2868558"Zionist Occupied Government." Comes from David Duke style wignats in the 70s or therabouts.
>>2868566It’s effectively true though is the problem, every other ethnic group and country has lobbyists (which is why California recognizes the Armenian genocide and New York doesn’t) but Israel is by far the most successful and influential, to the point where many states have anti BDS laws on the books.
>>2868568America is actually a Bourrgeois Occupied Government because all states have private property laws that they defend tooth and nail thoughever
>>2868569Some bourgeois are unironically higher up than others within the power structure. It’s a combination of shared interests, bribery and blackmail where the first fails, and particular ideological alignments all coming together. As the wars are not just fought but lost, we’ll see how far bribery and blackmail can get them when ideology and immediate shared interests break (you’ve been seeing it slowly unfold since 10/7)
What are the contradictions between various bourgeois faction of america?
>>2868568Allow me to spell it out:
ZOG is a nazi conspiracy theory. Just drop the term, we will all be better off for it
I hope oil shoots up to $200 so that decarbonization is accelerated.
>>2868637It's easier to just call anyone who is a zionist a zionist anyway.
>>2868599>What are the contradictions between various bourgeois faction of america?In general, sectors that benefit from capital mobility like the financial sector tends to dislike wars that disrupt that mobility because it makes it harder to move money around. They don't often come outright and say they oppose a president's war, but if you read the business press, you can find Wall Street guys usually phrase it in terms of "risks" and "shocks" which they don't like, Lloyd Blankfein of Goldman Sachs has not been very sanguine:
https://fortune.com/2026/03/10/former-goldman-sachs-ceo-lloyd-blankfein-iran-war-geopolitics-donald-trump-israel-gas-prices/But if you are in a sector which is less able to take advantage of global capital flows, like you are a domestic manufacturer who sells whatever it is you produce to the domestic market, then you might resent the fact that workers in America have to compete with workers overseas (because they now have less money to buy your goods), so you're more likely to blame foreign states and support policies which disrupt capital mobility and kick off trade wars, and in general favor more inter-state rivalry which can escalate into conflict.
I think one of the most belligerent sectors is natural resources like petroleum because it's geographically fixed, you have to control the land to get the thing. Also it's the reason why states like Iran and Russia are able to flex themselves independently of the U.S., because they have oil, and the U.S. doesn't like that.
There's also certain parts of the tech industry which is becoming more belligerent. But tech is also becoming more important. Before the tech CEOs used to have a positive attitude towards China because it was a way to make cheap phones, but now they're in more direct competition with China which is stealing their intellectual property so now they are flipping and developing a more bellicose attitude. Also the tech sector is increasingly integrating with the military. I mean tech as in software.
Socialists tend to treat capital as a monolithic thing, but wars happen because there's conflict between or within capital. It's like intra-elite conflict but that can occur at the level between states.
In a world where nothing ever happens….
>>2868637>>2868689Why care? Nazis stole socialist aesthetics and arguments all the time but socialists can’t do the reverse?
>>2868538That or one of the islands. Only time will tell.
>>2868928If that’s at all true the US will end up taking casualties in the thousands which the public will not be able to stomach. We’re not our great grandparents who could stomach 20,000 dying on a beach in Palau or Normandy or Iwo Jima.
The skies above Gaza are filled with dronesThere is no regard for the ceasefire, and just within the past 30 minutes, a funeral procession was taking place in one of the mosques in Nuseirat Refugee Camp.
As a group of people who were participating were coming out of the mosque, a drone strike targeted them.
Al-Awda Hospital has confirmed that seven people so far have been confirmed killed.
The footage from the bomb site is quite distressing. It shows grieving family members who saw their relatives among those who were critically injured or killed right on the spot.
This is just the latest of these attacks.
Six other Palestinians were killed in drone strikes, either here in Gaza City or in the central area. One woman was killed by a quad-copter in the northern part of the Strip.
All this in addition to the ongoing destruction of remaining infrastructure and physical structures in the city of Khan Younis, where the Israeli military is clearing out the remaining facilities and infrastructure; it’s just turning into a vast field of rubble.

IRGC Navy says approaching ‘zero hour’ for operation against US naval unitsIn a statement carried by Iranian state television, the IRGC Navy Command said the movements and military equipment of US forces are “under the surveillance” of Iran’s naval units.

>>2869039I just think they can't fly over Iran consistently because of the loitering munitions? A bunch of stuff is getting shot down, so even if they wanted to target infrastructure in Tehran for example they can't do it without risk.
‘Iran claims to have hit Al Udeid Air Base, but no confirmation yet’That is a huge US base on the outskirts of the capital, Doha, which normally hosts about 10,000 US military personnel and is the forward headquarters of US Central Command.
We have had no official confirmation from the US or the Qataris here that that base was hit.
What Qatar has consistently reiterated through the course of this entire conflict is that the base has not been used by US forces to target Iran.
There were two waves of attacks in Qatar in the early hours of this morning.
The timing of these attacks was significant.
They came just hours after the official end of the mourning period for the late emir of Qatar, and just 48 hours after Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi had been in Doha to pay his condolences to the family.

Article on the strikes:
https://theamargi.com/posts/kurdistan-under-irgc-fire-as-us-iran-war-restarts something is happening a little bit
US attacks shifting further into Iran’s interiorLet’s remember going back to the day that Trump announced that the ceasefire was over, he insisted dialogue was continuing.
So he was involved in dialogue and in conflict at exactly the same time, but those first days of strikes being carried out by the US in the wake of the end of the ceasefire were limited in scope.
As I said, they were mainly related to the Iranian control of the Strait of Hormuz.
But from today, we’ve seen a shift in strategy, and that is seeking targets further in the Iranian interior, escalating the intensity of the US military attack and its scope.
Now, it’s understood that earlier this week, President Trump had a meeting in the situation room with his senior security staff, and at that, it was discussed and he was presented with a range of targets that would make a greater spread for US operations within Iran, moving it away from the coastline into the interior.
And that is what we appear to be seeing now: President Trump has directed a widening of US operations.
Why was he reluctant to do this? Because once the conflict intensifies, it gets more and more difficult to step back from it and create that dialogue that he so desperately needs to get his off-ramp and put this war behind him.
But now it is looming very, very strongly and large in his rearview mirror.

Iran warned on Saturday that vital ports in the Gulf region could be targeted if the United States attacks Iranian infrastructure, according to media reports.Fars News Agency: UAE airports and ports must be evacuated if Washington targets Iranian infrastructure.
The Iranian news agency Fars quoted a well-informed military source as saying that "if the United States attacks Iranian infrastructure, the airports of Dubai and Abu Dhabi and the ports of Fujairah and Jebel Ali must be evacuated immediately in order to protect civilians from Iranian counterattacks."
<A plan targeting water purification and desalination facilities, including stations in Kuwait.In this context, the Middle East Spectator quoted an Iranian military source as saying that Tehran "will not wait any longer for the enemy to increase its attacks against its vital infrastructure."
The source added that Iran "has begun implementing a plan that will end with the destruction of the regional energy infrastructure if the American aggression does not stop."
He indicated, according to the website, that the plan also includes targeting water purification and desalination facilities, adding that "all power generation and desalination plants in Kuwait have become part of our target bank."
The website asserted that Iran is using high-precision medium-range ballistic missiles after weakening US defenses with inaccurate missiles.
He noted that most of the American military bases in Jordan were severely damaged and some are still burning after being bombed by Iran.
This comes at a time when Iran is witnessing continuous American aggression that has targeted areas in the south of the country in recent days, mostly affecting civilian infrastructure such as facilities, bridges and economic facilities, which prompted Tehran to respond through military attacks targeting American military bases and facilities in the region.

The Wall Street Journal quoted US officials as saying that "Iran has developed methods to bypass US missile defense systems."
Officials explained that "Iran used missiles that fly at high speeds and are capable of maneuvering during the final stage of their trajectory before impact."
The Wall Street Journal also revealed concerns about "the marked improvement in the accuracy of Iranian strikes."
These leaks come shortly after attacks by the Iranian armed forces on US bases in the region, including the Muwaffaq Salti base in Jordan, where two US soldiers were killed, another went missing, and about 15 others were injured, following a direct hit by an Iranian missile on the base.
These attacks are part of Tehran's response to American aggression targeting southern Iran from American bases in countries of the region.

To defend the gulf states with the line of defending proletarian lives living in them is the same as wanting to protect the lives of slaves by keeping slaves economies running. After all, the slaver gives them a secure existence.
>>2870737
I don't think the Iranians are slaves. And I don't think American counter-signaling is effective here.
>>2870738This. GCC countries have more in common with slave plantations than nation states.
Here’s a quick recap:>Jordan’s army says its forces have shot down three Iranian missiles while a fourth fell in a remote area; no casualties or material damages have been reported.<Kuwait says a power and water distillation plant has been targeted by Iran for the second time in two days, causing fire in some facilities.>The Atomic Energy Organisation of Iran says multiple projectiles hit the under-construction Darkhovin nuclear power plant site in Khuzestan province, according to local media.<Trump says Republicans should add Iran to the Russia sanctions bill that imposes penalties on countries that buy Russian oil.
>Qatari Emir Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani and Iraqi Prime Minister Ali al-Zaidi, during talks in Doha, express the importance of dialogue to ensure freedom of navigation in the Strait of Hormuz.https://aje.news/zpl6ns?update=4785991 >>2870726So true, god save the queen and bless america, let us side with the entente against german tyranny fellow comrades
Like, seriously anyone here doesn't think that the moment public order breaks down, even a little bit with UAE law enforcement/military being overwhelmed by a more massive attack on their military and civilian infrastructure that this wouldn't trigger a massive revolt among the migrant worker population that spread across different countries?
>>2870754I feel like it probably wouldn't. The migrants mostly are not forced to be in UAE, they choose to because conditions in their home countries are that bad. They don't want to take over the country, they want to make money to send back home.
>>2870754It's at least way more plausible than the idea of an uprising in Iran. At the very least there would be no sense of patriotic loyalty among a Pakistani migrant worker. Especially not if he sleeps on the floor of a laundry room with 8 other people and can't go home because his boss took away his passport.
>>2870754these people want to work there to send money home to families. why would they want to tear the place down? the only serious threat to stability is the shi'a population in places like bahrain.
>>2870753
avthentic multipolarista
>>2870756>>2870759An actual ground confrontation breaks out, or all desalination plant gets hit and 80% of them want to leave. You think the UAE government will let them just go and let the economy collapse? Lmao.
>>2870762Yes it would let them go, because they can hire new workers after the crisis is over. You think they're going to literally enslave them in the chattel slavery sense?
I wouldn't be surprised if they put bullshit policies in place to discourage people from leaving but they're not going to literally shut the country down like North Korea
>>2870764Yes because their entire economy is dependent on them. The entire society cannot function without migrant workers. It cannot just go a few months without them, you know. They are absolutely going to shut the entire country down if its meant to prevent total economic collapse, absolutely.
>>2870765If everyone in the country can't get drinking water then they have bigger problems than 'economic collapse'. Forcing the migrants to stay wouldn't solve anything, they would just die of thirst and not be able to work anyway lol.
>>2870762House Filipino and house Indian will team up and defeat Saudi Voldemort.
>>2870765>>2870766Having thought about it, the far more likely scenario to happen in that situation would be the government would crack open their immense amount of oil money and pay to have water shipped into the country, along with rationing etc
it would be kind of like that level in Spec Ops the Line lol.
>>2870767These philipina nurses and Indian gas station and motel workers are our own.
>>2870763>Workers of the world, unitefucking glowies think we multipolarists will fall for this obvious psyop
report this for spreading nafoid globalist propaganda folks!
>>2870770But for really reals, I've never met one of the aforementioned immigrants who was not a omitted patriot. These people all came here by choice.
>>2870769>>2870766It's weird how you people don't understand that the moment those migrant workers are faced with significant shortages and getting the short end of the stick when it comes to water and food they won't immediately start rioting and plundering whatever they can get they hands on and not passively wait until they die of thirst from their shitty barracks.
>>2870776Dude, like all these people are the same as you and me as greencard holders or legal citizens, if not their children are birthright citizens.
>>2870776What is that, a triple negative? I'm saying it would never get that bad in the first place. Even in colonial Brazil they gave the slaves water.
>>2870775The choice was to feed themselves and their families dumbass. Do you understand what war is? They moment the other end of the bargain isn't held up because it is being disrupted they will do anything to ensure their own survival, get the fuck out and don't give a fuck about a collapsing slave state.
>>2870763Multipolaricels would probably love Bokassa nowadays
>>2870777Everyone is the same if they didn't get food and water for 4 days.
>>2870781Dude, my family came here from of one of the most starvingest, famous poor states on Earth. What the fuck are you trying to tell me?
>>2870783totally different from what was originally said:
>Like, seriously anyone here doesn't think that the moment public order breaks down, even a little bit with UAE law enforcement/military being overwhelmed by a more massive attack on their military and civilian infrastructure that this wouldn't trigger a massive revolt among the migrant worker population that spread across different countries?like that's way different from anyone saying "yeah the migrant workers would literally just let themselves die of thirst and not do anything"
>>2870786What the fuck do think 'public order breaking down' means?
>>2870779
they had to use their bodies as fertilizer to develop the productive forces you fucking undialectical wrecker
>>2870787Not the same as literally everybody dying. Public order broke down in some places in the USA during say BLM, does that mean everyone died?
So the ultra larper who compared Iran's actions against the gulf states to being literally Cheney turns out to be the failson of Gulf expats. Am I getting this right?
Repeat after me
<I will not do slaver state propaganda just because people die in war
<I will not do slaver state propaganda just because people die in war
<I will not do slaver state propaganda just because people die in war
>>2870791I don't know what you are trying to say here with those weird comparisons and crude hypotheticals but the moment a significant part of the Gulf water infrastructure gets damaged, infrastructure that doesn't have an easy logistical alternative, there will absolutely be riots and revolts coming from the migrant workers because they are obviously going to be considered least priority by the government when it comes to rationing the remaining resources.
>>2870794
Yes plenty of compradors and labor aristocrats defending glorified American military bases slave states, I am aware.
>>2870795You don't understand, those are volunteer slaves.
Iran and gulf states history of collaboration helped deprogram me from bourgeois ideology and islamoliberal politics and guide me to Marxism
Grim to see Nigel struggling with my 12 yr old political awareness
>>2870795but you will do wage slaver state propaganda to own MAGAts on xitter
>>2870796If they actually got no water, then ok, but the government would pay whatever it took in the short term to ensure people aren't literally dying in the streets
If the GCC collapse because of a couple missiles and millions die because of the consequences, this too is progressive and I make no moral judgement about this because I'm an actual communist and not a larper moralist that feels bad for slaver sheikh's slaves.
The leftcoms have started attacking feudal rudimentary capitalism to defend literal slavery.
>>2870801It takes like 20 000 - 50 000 water trucks a day to match the output of a single one of those plants. Those countries have a 80-100% dependency on them. The Hormuz is close. It would be apocalyptical. At a certain point you can have all the money you want, it would still be un feasible
>>2870806>The leftcoms have started attacking feudal rudimentary capitalism to defend literal slavery.A tale as old as time really
>>2870806>feudal rudimentary capitalismwhy are you pretending we are in the 20th century?
>>2870809With enough money you can accomplish (almost) everything. But yes as I said there would obviously have to be serious rationing as well.
>>2870801Bruh the workers in the Gulf are all foreign, when the desalination plants are gone so are they
>>2870814Yeah that was my whole fucking point, if people aren't getting water they will just leave, not overthrow the government, oh my gooooooooooodddd
>>2870815The question is whether they'll be allowed to leave.
>>2870816The government isn't going to commit genocide by making people stay in the country but not giving them any water to drink, just so they can what, have 3 more days of nanny services before they die?
>>2870816>The question is whether they'll be allowed to leave.the arabs have no choice in letting them leave, holding them would ruin their reputation as a place to emigrate and make money to send back home
>>2870817They may keep them and ration supplies but it may not be enough to prevent serious unrest.
>>2870822It was inevitable given how unsustainable something like Dubai was. It's a monument to capitalist hubris.
>>2870817What do you mean by nanny service? 90% of the UAE are migrant workers. They run the hospitals, the power plants, the shipyards, the airport terminals and drive the trucks. Yes, the UAE government absolutely will start to prevent anyone from leaving under threat of violence who is running critical infrastructure and prevent the state from total collapse or at least seek to maintain and sustain the existence of the core government elite and the state organs.
>>2870826>Yes, the UAE government absolutely will start to prevent anyone from leavingif they're stupid enough to try that then the Gulf gets overthrown and turn into another Indian state
The Iranian government is actually so comically retarded. During the war they were like
>"we WON'T sign any meaningless ceasefire that will be broken anyways. These ceasefires are only meant as a period where the USA can re-equip and refill their ammunition"
And then they signed a "memorandum" that was doomed to fail from the beginning and only served as a tool for the US to rearm their middle eastern forces again
>>2870830It's not stupidity, it's desperation and necessity.
>>2870834Militaries in the Gulf are kept deliberately weak so as to not challenge the authority of the monarchy. it would be absolute total disaster to keep the thirsty and desperate workers there as opposed to just sending them home
plus they're already leaving:
>Around 984,000 Indian nationals flew home between the outbreak of the Iran war in late February and mid-April, according to India's Ministry of External Affairs, although this number also includes students and other vulnerable groups in addition to migrant workers.https://www.dw.com/en/indians-forced-to-return-home-as-iran-war-rocks-gulf-economy/a-76923855 Iran targets Jordan's Aqaba airportThe Israeli army announced in a statement on Twitter that it had detected missiles aimed at the Jordanian city of Aqaba. The army said that some of the missiles may have landed in Israeli territory.
Israeli Army Radio announced that the US air defense system shot down some missiles and that the "Al Qiba Al Hadidiya" system neutralized the missiles fired towards the Israeli city of Eilat.
The Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps, which claimed responsibility for the attack, announced that it had targeted Aqaba airport with ballistic missiles. The military described the attack as "a response to attacks and threats to Iran's national security."
The IRGC called on civilians to stay away from Aqaba airport and military facilities, claiming that it would only target military and strategic areas.
The Ilat municipality also announced that the explosions heard were caused by rockets fired from Jordan. The municipality noted that the orders of the Israeli home front have not been changed so far.
https://hawarnews.com/kr/irane-balafirgeha-eqebe-ya-urdune-kir >>2870836Yes it would be a total disaster but it would be a bigger disaster if they left. That's the entire point. In the end it's desperate but still rational from the perspective of a slave state ruling class. Not a single airport, not a single hospital, not a single power plant not a single gas station can be staffed without migrant workers in this caricature of a state.
>>2870833The Iranians rearmed too and by all accounts (even Western msm) their attacks are even more effective than before.
>>2870847Actually this is just like the Hitler-Stalin Friendship and Cooperation Treaty (known in Markkkssist-Kkklaninist circles as the Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact)
>>2870858Deano, 26 will become the new UAE overlord with the help of generalissimo Thaman and Sanjeet.

So we want this war bur aren’t willing to commit to high casualty beach landings or do the draft and don’t have kurds, jews, or sunni throat slitters to be the ground troops. So what’s the point? Just to burn money? Show off how shit and useless the gold plated weapons are? Accelerate green transition because you can’t blockade the sun and wind?
>>2871310To use up weapons so that defense contractors have an excuse to charge 10x as much for replacements

>>2871315How is that good marketing for your weapons systems if they’re failing?
>>2871322marketing? are you kidding? their number one customer is the US government who will buy the most broken overpriced shit on purpose for kickbacks, and their other customers have no choice in the matter because the USA will use all their dirty tricks to force them to buy american - look at Australia's submarines fiasco.
>>2871323It’s like being a coke dealer with one rich customer who will never ever question you or consider other options even as you keep cutting it more and more with every delivery

>>2871347Chinese AA at work, it seems
>>2871383It's not thar simple, they can protect their military assets without interceptors to an extent and Iran risks pulling the countries they bomb in a wider war against them if they go too far.
>>2871413All Iran needs to do is blow up the desalination plants and the GCC becomes about as inhabitable to humans as the surface of mars, they’re entirely unnatural, overpopulated countries
>>2871413im not sure what retaliatory options the gulf states even have if iran decides to drop a missile on everything valuable
>>2871429Everybody would dislike that, that's just inviting a coalition to knock on the door, China and even Russia would probably abstain at the UNSC vote to topple Iran.

The Revolutionary Guard reveals details of the attack on the Tanf commanders and confirms: Control of Hormuz is in our hands.Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps revealed details on Monday of the targeting of the US base in al-Tanf, Syria, and confirmed that Iran continues to control the Strait of Hormuz.
<"The attack on al-Tanf resulted in a large number of American soldiers killed."The Revolutionary Guard said in a statement that "the attack on the Tanf base resulted in the killing of a large number of American forces and the destruction of a radar system and a number of helicopters."
The statement noted that "the attack on the American base in Al-Tanf is a tribute to the oppressed soldiers who were martyred in Bampur in the city of Iran Shahr."
On Friday, the public relations office of Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps announced that fighters from the Guard’s Aerospace Force had carried out, as part of the eleventh wave of Operation “Nasr 2”, a surprise operation targeting the enemy’s special operations command center in the Syrian Tanf region , in response to the American aggression that targeted the country.
<"Our forces still have complete control of the Strait of Hormuz."On another note, the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps confirmed that it still has full control over the Strait of Hormuz.
He also stressed that "as long as American hostilities continue, not a single drop of oil or gas will be exported through the Strait of Hormuz."
A few days ago, the naval command of the Revolutionary Guard announced the complete closure of the Strait of Hormuz until the end of American interventions in the region.

Meanwhile, we know that in Hormozgan province, two important cities, strategically speaking, Jask and Sirik which oversee the strait witnessed another night of airstrikes, as had happened over the past couple of nights.
The heaviest bombardments by the United States have been happening there over the past few nights.
In the southeastern province of Sistan and Baluchestan, attacks and air strikes have been reported in Konarak and the port city of Chabahar. The strikes also extend to Khuzestan province, where two key port cities, Mahshahr and Bandar Imam, have been targeted by US forces.
On the other hand, we know that the Iranians are also talking about their retaliatory strikes, state news agency IRNA saying that a new wave of missiles was launched from Lorestan province to target the “enemy” with reference to US military bases and other assets across the region.
https://aje.news/xtb033?update=4788748US military completes ninth consecutive night of strikes against IranThe US military has completed its ninth consecutive night of strikes against Iran, according to US Central Command (CENTCOM).
The command said that CENTCOM assets targeted “Iranian military command centres, air defence and coastal surveillance sites, maritime capabilities, missile and drone launch sites, and communications networks”.
CENTCOM noted that the strikes concluded on July 19 at 10 p.m. ET and were conducted “to further diminish Iran’s ability to attack commercial vessels and civilian mariners transiting the Strait of Hormuz”.
The US military is holding Iran accountable at the Commander in Chief’s direction,” the statement added, noting that “CENTCOM forces remain highly vigilant, focused, lethal, and ready”.
https://aje.news/xtb033?update=4788823US and Iran escalating to push the other to compromiseThe US and Iran are escalating military actions in an attempt to pressure each other into compromise, according to Michael Mulroy, former US Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defence for the Middle East.
Speaking to Al Jazeera, Mulroy explained that while Washington initially focused on Iran’s ability to keep the Strait of Hormuz closed, it is “now expanding to infrastructure targets specifically designed to cut the regime off economically”—a strategy he described as serving “the same purpose as the naval blockade.”
He added that the US is “trying to do everything they can to really push the regime back to the negotiating table with something that’s more acceptable to the United States.”
Mulroy warned that the conflict “looks like it’s going to escalate substantially,” pointing out that Iranian counter-attacks “could cause significant issues for our Gulf allies.”

Iranian attacks and security alerts reported across regionIn the past hour, UK Maritime Trade Operations reported that a vessel was on fire off the coast of Oman. There is still no information about the cause of the fire or the identity of the vessel.
Across the region, there have also been reports of Iranian attacks, particularly on Bahrain, where warning sirens sounded. The US embassy said it had information suggesting Iran may target unspecified locations in central Manama. No such attack has been reported, but the embassy urged American citizens to remain vigilant and take precautionary measures.
In Jordan, at least four missiles were launched, with three intercepted and one falling in an open area.
Iran also says it targeted facilities linked to US forces in Kuwait, including a large ammunition depot and an air defence radar system. Kuwaiti authorities have not confirmed those claims. Instead, they say Iranian attacks have targeted civilian infrastructure, including a water desalination plant.
That has prompted condemnation in Kuwait and beyond, amid growing concern over attacks on critical water and energy facilities across the Gulf.

>Iran’s Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi has given a detailed account of the 40-day war, revealing that Tehran believed war was inevitable before it began, had preplanned retaliation across the region, and entered last-minute nuclear talks largely to exhaust the diplomatic path before an expected U.S.-Israeli attack.
>In a sweeping interview with filmmaker Javad Mogouei, Araghchi described Iran’s preparations for war, the opening attack that killed Iran’s leader and senior officials, Tehran’s regional retaliation, secret diplomatic exchanges, and the calculations that ultimately led Iran to accept a ceasefire.
<➤ Iran believed war was coming before negotiations ended.
>Araghchi said Iranian political and military officials were “certain” an attack was coming. Tehran nevertheless entered three rounds of negotiations because there remained some chance of avoiding war and so no one could later claim Iran had refused diplomacy.
>The central dispute remained enrichment. Washington demanded zero enrichment and later a multi-year suspension. Iran refused, Araghchi said, “even at the cost of war.”
>He said that by Friday, after the final round of talks in Geneva, he had concluded war was certain. Oman’s foreign minister, Badr al-Busaidi, traveled to Washington and warned Araghchi that the atmosphere there had become “completely” oriented toward war, even as he sought a meeting with JD Vance amid concerns that Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner had not accurately conveyed the negotiations.
<➤ Iran had preplanned its response if the leadership was killed.
>Araghchi said the Supreme National Security Council had prepared written plans for scenarios ranging from a U.S.-only attack to joint U.S.-Israeli strikes, attacks on infrastructure, and the killing of Iran’s leader.
>The last scenario was reportedly assigned a code because officials did not want to say it aloud: “Code 110.”
>Araghchi said the plan included immediately closing the Strait of Hormuz if the leader was targeted and activating a broader regional military response.
<➤ Araghchi says he survived the opening attack himself.
>At around 9 a.m., he was inside the leadership compound warning a senior official that an attack was imminent when multiple buildings were struck.
>He described three explosions, ceilings and walls collapsing, wounded people screaming, and himself and Mohammad Hejazi climbing through steel beams and rubble to escape. A stranger eventually drove the dust-covered foreign minister back to his ministry.
>Araghchi said simultaneous attacks targeted meetings involving military commanders, intelligence officials and senior leadership, exposing a major “security breach.” He suggested the breach may extend beyond espionage to attempts to influence Iranian decision-making and the country’s psychological environment.
<➤ Tehran immediately warned the Gulf that U.S. bases would be hit.
>Within hours, Araghchi said he personally called Gulf foreign ministers and told them Iran would strike American forces stationed on their territory.
>He said Tehran had warned regional governments even before the war: if Iran’s nuclear facilities were struck, equivalent targets would be hit; if the U.S. entered the war, American bases across the region would be attacked; and if Iran was prevented from exporting oil, “no one in the region” would export oil.
>One regional leader, Araghchi recalled, confidently told him before the war that Iran’s nuclear and oil facilities would be destroyed and Tehran would be unable to respond because its leadership would also be targeted.
<➤ Regional governments had reportedly been told Iran would collapse within a month.
>Araghchi said American and Israeli circles told regional states to withstand Iranian retaliation for roughly one month because “this story will be over forever.”
>After the 12-day war failed to produce that outcome, he said Israel changed strategy: prepare for a longer conflict, weaken the government’s social base, then kill political leaders and the supreme leader in the belief the system would collapse.
>Araghchi said Israel viewed the fall of Syria, Hezbollah’s losses, economic sanctions and unrest inside Iran as evidence that the country had reached its weakest point.
<➤ “Have you ever sat in a meeting knowing the whole room could explode?”
>Araghchi recounted later telling U.S. envoy Steve Witkoff about living under assassination threat during the war.
>“He just stared at me,” Araghchi said. “I told him: We experienced these things and we stood firm. You have to speak to us and deal with us differently. You can neither threaten us nor buy us off.”
<➤ Araghchi acknowledged serious Iranian failures before the war.
>He said authorities had not anticipated the scale and speed of the January protests and failed to detect prior organization and the later introduction of weapons and trained forces.
>He argued those events reinforced Washington and Israel’s belief that Iran’s social base had collapsed and that an external attack would trigger a mass uprising against the government.
>Instead, he said, the population mobilized in support of the state, turning what Israel expected to be a vulnerability into what he called one of Iran’s greatest sources of resilience.
<➤ Iran says it deliberately waited for the other side to escalate infrastructure attacks.
>Araghchi said once Iranian infrastructure was struck, Tehran immediately attacked regional infrastructure with American shareholders, prompting regional governments to realize the war could expand dramatically and pressure Trump.
>Had Iran struck such targets first, he argued, it would have weakened Tehran’s claim to be acting in retaliation.
<➤ Ceasefire proposals began coming from Washington after the second week.
>Araghchi said Iran ultimately accepted a ceasefire because wars should end when you hold the strongest possible position, not simply continue until losses become unbearable.
>“You cannot gamble with people’s lives and the fate of the country,” he said.
>He acknowledged that had the ceasefire come roughly 10 days earlier, Iran might have retained many of the same strategic gains while senior officials later killed, including Ali Larijani and Esmail Khatib, might still have been alive.
>The final decision, he said, was made under extraordinary security constraints. Convening the entire Supreme National Security Council in one place risked having the country’s leadership wiped out in a single strike, so smaller groups reviewed the ceasefire.
>Iran agreed on the condition that Washington accept Tehran’s 10-point framework as the basis for negotiations.
<➤ Araghchi called the outcome a “strategic victory.”
>He said the war began with Trump calling for Iran’s “unconditional surrender” and ended with a memorandum under which Iran and the U.S. committed not to initiate war, use force, impose sanctions, interfere in each other’s internal affairs, or violate each other’s sovereignty and territorial integrity.
>“The image of a weak Iran was replaced by the image of a strong and resilient Iran,” Araghchi said. “The world understood that Iran is strong.”

Nearly 100 U.S. service members injured in Iranian strikes this monthWashington — Nearly 100 American service members have been injured in multiple Iranian airstrikes on bases in the Middle East region this month, U.S. officials told CBS News.
Chief Pentagon Spokesman Sean Parnell confirmed the numbers in a statement to CBS News, saying almost 100 people "were deemed to have some degree of injury since July 7, 2026," 96% of whom have returned to duty.
"They are determined to get back in the fight. The vast majority of injuries experienced were minor concussions," Parnell said.
The injuries follow an uptick in hostilities between the U.S. and Iran as a monthslong ceasefire between the two countries disintegrates. The U.S. military has carried out nightly strikes on Iranian targets for more than a week, saying it is seeking to stop Iran from attacking commercial ships, and Iran has reacted by striking U.S. assets in Jordan, Kuwait, Bahrain and other U.S.-allied states.
CBS News reported Friday that several U.S. service members had been injured on Jordanian military bases last week.
Over the weekend, the Defense Department announced that two American soldiers were killed on a military base in Jordan, and unidentified remains were found at the location where a third U.S. service member went missing. Another service member was killed in Iraq during a "controlled detonation of unexploded ordnance from a downed Iranian one-way attack drone."
The Pentagon has not publicly disclosed the exact number of service members injured or damage assessments from the latest round of Iranian attacks.

The founding director of the Arab Perspectives Institute told Al Jazeera there is “very clear” messaging in the announcement.
There was “no mention of Iran”, suggesting the Houthis are acting to exploit what they see as a window of opportunity while both Saudi Arabia and the United States are preoccupied with Iran. “They’re taking it as an opportunity to redraw the rules imposed on them before,” he said.
Negotiations with the Houthis could be “easier” than talks involving either the US or Iran, which remain in direct confrontation. “From a Houthi perspective, they are controlling Yemen, which is in the GCC orbit,” he said.
Alkinani said direct negotiations with the Houthis would now make sense.

Iran claims attack on US military assets in KuwaitThe IRGC says it has targeted and destroyed several US military assets in Kuwait during a recent strike.
In a statement carried by the semi-official Tasnim news agency, the IRGC said the strikes hit a long-range radar site, a telecommunications center, satellite receiving systems, and a missile defense radar of the US military in Kuwait.
The group also claimed to have struck an MQ-9 drone hangar at the Ali Al Salem air base, destroying or severely damaging a number of unmanned aircraft.

IRGC claims more attacks on US military assets in KuwaitThe IRGC has issued a second statement claiming additional strikes against US military targets in Kuwait.
In a statement carried by the Tasnim news agency, the IRGC claimed its forces hit and destroyed an early warning radar, a missile defense radar system, an FPS-117 radar, a Patriot defence system, and an air defence satellite communication system at the Ahmed Al-Jaber base.
The group added that the operation was intended to clear radar coverage in the region ahead of further missile and drone strikes.

“The CSO of the tanker has reported to UKMTO that the crew have abandoned the vessel and are currently embarked in a lifeboat”, it added.
The report came shortly after Iran’s IRGC said “massive fires” had broken out on two oil tankers that attempted to “pass through the unsafe southern route in the Strait of Hormuz” following an explosion.

Ongoing regional attacks ‘a clear message’ from Iran to USWhile some diplomacy is taking place with Iran’s interior minister in Pakistan and the US and Iran confirming closed door negotiations are taking place, the reality is attacks are taking place on all sides.
Sirens are again being heard in Bahrain while Kuwait is warning citizens to seek shelter as soon as possible.
While there have been interceptions of Iranian projectiles, there has also been ground impacts with severe damage inflicted over the last four days on Kuwait’s infrastructure – water desalination plants and power plants.
All of this is a clear message from Iran that while it will maintain pathways to dialogue, it will also maintain military pressure on what it sees as US assets in the region, even if it means attacking the sovereign territory of Arab neighbours.
So is this a strategy to have favourable terms at the negotiating table? Or does it suggest Iran doesn’t really believe a negotiated settlement is possible at the moment? What we are seeing practically is the consequences of the US-Israel war on Iran being faced by the GCC countries and Arab nations in the region.

https://militarywatchmagazine.com/article/ui-aircraft-heavy-losses-iran-strikes-basesU.S. Aircraft Take Heavy Losses as Iran Strikes Key Bases Across the Middle East
>Iranian missile strikes against U.S. military facilities in Jordan, launched in response to U.S. attacks, have caused considerable damage. The New York Times, citing an assessment based on satellite imagery, verified videos, and official statements, reported that a significant number of UH-60 Black Hawk helicopters were damaged. The reported losses add to growing evidence that Iran’s retaliatory strikes achieved considerably greater effects against U.S. military infrastructure than initially acknowledged. The Black Hawks were among numerous aircraft and military assets stationed at Muwaffaq Salti Air Base and other facilities in Jordan that came under repeated ballistic missile and drone attacks. Recent attacks on the base also resulted in the deaths of two U.S. service members and left another missing, underscoring that Jordan has become one of the principal fronts in the widening regional conflict. These casualty figures do not account for the deaths of contractors, who play central roles at all major frontline facilities including in many cases in combat.
>Although the exact number of helicopters affected has not been officially disclosed, damage to multiple UH-60s represents a potentially important operational setback. The Black Hawk serves as the U.S. Army’s primary utility helicopter, carrying out troop transport, casualty evacuation, special operations support, logistics, and command-and-control missions. Unlike fixed-wing combat aircraft, helicopters parked on forward operating bases are often difficult to disperse during periods of sustained missile attack. Their large rotor systems, exposed fuel tanks, and limited hardened shelter availability make them particularly vulnerable to fragmentation from ballistic missile warheads or nearby impacts.
>According to assessments compiled from satellite imagery and open-source evidence, Iranian missile attacks have damaged at least 17 U.S.-associated military sites, including 11 American military installations, with radar systems, communications infrastructure, aircraft parking areas, and logistics facilities among the primary targets. The Black Hawk damage in Jordan is only one component of wider aviation losses sustained during the conflict. Open-source reporting and official statements have documented the destruction or damage of MQ-9 Reaper drones, transport aircraft, helicopters, aerial tankers, and airborne warning aircraft across several bases. These included the reported destruction of at least one F-15E fighter on July 19. The U.S. Armed Forces have sought to minimise losses by dispersing aircraft away from major facilities.

https://aje.news/gcmk7h?update=4794222IRGC says it destroyed radar systems in KuwaitIran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) says it has “decommissioned” an early warning radar and a tactical radar complex around the Ali Al Salem airbase in Kuwait, and another radar system on the country’s Bubiyan Island.
It said that its attacks have succeeded in “destroying” the radar systems and putting them out of action.
“The operation to punish the aggressor continues,” it added.

https://www.reuters.com/world/middle-east/iranian-forces-target-bahrain-kuwait-after-us-hits-irans-south-2026-07-21/ Iranian Army: New anti-aircraft equipment introduced into combat systemThe spokesman for the Iranian army, Brigadier General Akbar Mirinia, announced the introduction of new anti-aircraft equipment into the combat system and the rehabilitation of systems damaged in the previous war.
He stressed that the new equipment has greatly enhanced Iran's air defense capabilities, so that "enemy aircraft are now dealt with much more forcefully."
In this context, the Iranian Army's Public Relations Office announced yesterday that the Army's ground forces targeted the US Army's HIMARS systems stationed at the Arifjan base in Kuwait with surface-to-surface missiles, as part of the 18th phase of Operation Thunderbolt.
The United States renewed its aggression against Iran, with attacks concentrated on the southern regions, which prompted Iranian responses with operations targeting several American bases in the Gulf, Syria and Jordan.
Tehran insists that it harbors no animosity towards the peoples of the region, but rather targets American bases and centers that have caused several crimes in the Islamic Republic.
It should be noted that 50 people have been killed and more than 500 others injured since late June, according to the latest announcement by the Iranian Ministry of Health as of July 18. Among these martyrs are women and children.

In a statement addressed to the Iranian people, the Revolutionary Guard affirmed that "heroic fighters in the Guard are continuing operations to clear the region of radars," adding: "The disciplinary operation against the aggressor continues."
Yesterday, the Revolutionary Guard announced that its Aerospace Force had launched a missile attack on an American base in Jordan, where it "destroyed a missile defense radar system and an F-15 aircraft."
This comes in the context of the Iranian response to the American aggression against the territory of the Islamic Republic, in parallel with Tehran’s confirmation that it does not harbor any animosity towards the peoples of the region, but rather targets American bases in response to the crimes that the United States has committed - and continues to commit - against Iran.
In light of this, US officials admitted to CBS News that about 100 US soldiers were injured as a result of Iranian strikes targeting US military bases in the Middle East this month.
