“US Israel Iran War”

DUBAI — The International Energy Agency on Wednesday announced that it would carry out its largest-ever release of oil reserves — 400 million barrels — in a bid to control spiking energy prices caused by the United States-Israel war against Iran, which shows no signs of slowing as it ends its 12th day.

The plan, aimed at stabilizing oil prices that have soared since the United States and Israel attacked Iran on Feb. 28, came as Iranian leaders declared they were widening their assault on countries in the Persian Gulf, aiming to raise the economic price of the U.S.-Israeli military campaign to oust the government in Tehran.

The government has approved a request from the police to ban the Al Quds Day march in London on Sunday to prevent “serious public disorder” given the conflict in the Middle East, the home secretary has said.

The Metropolitan Police asked for the ban saying it was concerned about the high number of protesters and counter-protesters, adding the march organisers were “supportive of the Iranian regime” .

The Islamic Human Rights Commission, who organise the annual march, insist it is a peaceful, pro-Palestinian event. It says a static protest will take place instead.

I bet they march anyway.

Meanwhile in Ontario … Al Quds Day Bad! But we’re too weak to cancel it.

Donald Trump intensified his war against Iran on Tuesday, dropping bunker-busting bombs on the regime’s underground missile facilities.

Just 24 hours earlier, the US president had declared the war was “very complete” and that Iran’s military had been effectively wiped out.

However, on Tuesday, Pete Hegseth, the US defence secretary, said fresh strikes against Tehran would be the “most intense” since the conflict began on Feb 28.

BREAKING: The IRAN STRATEGY is WORKING — and Tehran knows it 🚨🇺🇸

Iran tried a war of attrition. FAILED.
Tried to split our Arab allies. FAILED.
Tried to spike oil and shake the markets. FAILED.

Iran spent years and billions of dollars building its answer to the aircraft carrier problem. It was called IRIS Shahid Bagheri. CENTCOM destroyed it on day one.

Secretary of War Pete Hegseth promised Tuesday that the Iran war “is not 2003” and will not look like another nation-building, regime-change war like in Iraq.

Giving an update ten days into the war, Hegseth was joined by Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Gen. Dan Caine at the Pentagon.

Nation building became synonymous with graft.

In the first 24 hours of Operation Epic Fury, the US military struck more than 1,000 targets in Iran with the help of artificial intelligence.

Given the rate of 42 suggested targets per hour, experts have asked whether machines are now in charge on the battlefield because the human brain cannot keep up.

They have raised the possibility that artificial intelligence may have misidentified the primary school in Minab on the first day of the war. Growing evidence suggests that the US fired what appears to have been Tomahawk cruise missiles at the site, killing 110 children and dozens of others.

Jury is still out on the school missile strike.

🚨Breaking question for everyone watching the Iran conflict closely…

Did Iran just hit its own school and then try to blame the United States?

US military ‘completely destroys’ 16 Iranian mine-laying ships in Strait of Hormuz after Trump threatened Iran would be hit ‘at level never seen before’ if they place mines in the passage

American forces have destroyed 16 Iranian minelaying vessels close to a major sea passage used to export oil.

The White House had earlier warned Iran will be hit ‘at a level never seen before’ if they place mines on the Strait of Hormuz amid concerns the regime could target the key oil waterway.

I’ll caution the reader that what comes below isn’t fully serious. It’s about 71.7 percent serious.

Maybe a little more. Or less.

Over the course of 48 hours, the strategic architecture of the Middle East shifted with a speed few could have anticipated. A coordinated Israeli-American operation, prepared in secrecy and executed with surgical exactitude, began by striking key command nodes of the Islamic Republic of Iran, including senior leadership figures, nuclear enrichment infrastructure and long-range missile facilities — and culminated in eliminating Iran’s Supreme Guide Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.

President Donald Trump and Secretary of War Pete Hegseth flatly denied that U.S. forces targeted civilians after a missile strike destroyed a girls’ school in Minab, Iran. Trump said the information he reviewed suggested Iran may have caused the explosion itself, while Hegseth repeated that U.S. forces don’t deliberately attack civilians and confirmed the Pentagon is reviewing the incident.

That didn’t stop Western media outlets from rushing to repeat Tehran’s accusations.

The Nail In The Coffin For Iran

Now it’s confirmed, based on the direction of attack, there is a 0% chance the USA fired a Tomahawk Cruise Missile at the “school” that the IRGC claims killed 165 people.

Mojtaba Khamenei has been named Iran’s new supreme leader and successor to his father, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, who was killed on the first day of the war with the US and Iran.

Some pro-establishment crowds have taken to the streets to celebrate the appointment of a hardliner close to the powerful Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC).

But other Iranians have told the BBC that they believe it will not bring about change.

Donald Trump has urged Australia to avoid ‘a terrible humanitarian mistake’ by potentially allowing the Iranian women’s soccer team to return to their home country.

Trump’s comments come amid uncertainty over the players’ future after they were branded ‘traitors’ by Iranian media for refusing to sing the national anthem before a game against South Korea at the Asian Cup last week, which is being hosted in Australia.

Then, one of the Iranian players could be seen performing the international SOS distress signal from inside the team bus after a lost game on Sunday that ended their involvement in the tournament. According to reports, she tucked her thumb into her palm and folded her fingers down over it – the recognized sign that someone is pleading for help.

Donald Trump said the war in Iran was “very complete” after an hour-long phone call with Vladimir Putin.

The US president said his country’s joint operation with Israel had left Iran with “no navy, no communications … no air force”.

“I think the war is very complete, pretty much,” he told CBS News, adding that the US was “very far” ahead of schedule.

His comments came after a lengthy call with Putin, who presented Mr Trump with several proposals to end the war quickly, according to the Kremlin.
