🇸🇦🤝🇺🇸🤝🇮🇱 Fact: What has exposed Saud regime for their secret approval of an US-Israeli on Iran is the "Ghost of Kuwait" incident.
Before that, US planes deployed in Saudi Arabia & operating in the area were flying with transponders switched off (hidden from public).
So we knew they were deployed there (confirmed presence by satelite imagery and ads-b data) but couldn't track them in real time.
Following the downing of 3 x F-15E in Kuwait, they started flying with transponders on to avoid repeating such incidents.
And then the US planes participating in the war started popping (on flightradar24) over Saudi Arabia, leaving the Saudi regime exposed.
All the data I share can be checked on flightradar24, & satellite imagery provided by Mizarvision can be also confirmed via free Sentinel-2 imagery for those who cant access it.
The Islamic Revolution Guard Corps (IRGC) has revealed that the majority of missiles so far launched against American and Israeli targets during Operation True Promise 4 have been manufactured approximately ten years ago, with more advanced weaponry held in reserve
"The missiles currently used belong to a decade ago," Naeini emphasized. "Many of the missiles we have produced since the 12-day war until the Ramadan war have not yet been deployed".
Hot damn.
I go to bed every night struggling to sleep keeping on top of things, and it was looking like an ominous night. I was seeing struggles in Lebanon. Between white phosphorous, and being bombed to fuck they're having a hell of a time keeping Israel out of Khiam with some heavy fighting. Giving as good as they're getting. MTV Lebanon news published locations of Hezbollah. They were all bombed immediately by Israel. Then there was no Iran missiles for hours, Hebrew sources were feeling comfortable. I was getting bad news and worrying Iran had nothing left or were on the back foot.
Then bam, cyber attack on MTV puts it down completely (Handala?), and serious missile barrage on Tel aviv from Lebanon and Iran. Russian news claiming big hit on high military bunker (but we can never take anything like that as fact, probably bullshit propaganda). Dubai airport - another one of those intercepted drones fell in an open area and set their jet fuel on fire in a serious blaze.
No sources I'm afraid, just a summary of what's kept me up this evening
🇺🇸 — Secretary of War Pete Hegseth cut staff in offices responsible for preventing and investigating civilian casualties from about 200 to fewer than 40 despite warnings from military leaders, POLITICO reports.
Critics say the move weakened oversight before the strike on an Iranian girls’ school in Minab that killed more than 170 students, while Hegseth viewed the offices as unnecessary and linked to “woke” policies.

🇺🇸 New Trump-cope just dropped.
So his argument is , if I understand it, countries that Iran has worked with, and Iran is letting use the straight are the ones who should attack Iran. But that feels counterintuitive, does he mind explaining?
I think he means the ones that got the oil before and are now not getting it anymore
so the United States is in that camp, so his statment still makes no sense
This is trump we are talking about.
His people are telling him that usa is a net exporter and he thinks that means usa doesn't import any crude.
Dan e monkey dance
Oil goes BRRRRR
Weather recently go brrr
No, seriously, what is up with this weather.
Here's a simplistic way to visualize the oil market trajectory on a DEFCON scale
Are we at 2.5?
Likely closer to 3 than 2. Strategic reserves are already being released to counteract the impact of the supply shock. At max, maybe a month before the reality sets in. Smaller countries are already feeling the hit
yeah well past 2 and no sign that 3 isn't going to be avoided.
Nuclear war just a week away!
🇺🇸🇮🇷| The US continues to fire standoff JASSM cruise missiles (missiles launched from outside Iran) against its targets in Iran.
And Iran has been able to intercept many of these JASSM cruise missiles, including some this morning.

🇺🇸 "Broadcasters must operate in the public interest, and they will lose their licenses if they do not." — Brendan Carr
The head of the Federal Communications Commission is warning U.S. media outlets to fall in line with government narratives on the war with Iran — or risk losing their broadcast licenses.
This specifically applies to television and radio, right? Specifically, things broadcasted over the air? Cuz uh, people already don't watch or listen to broadcasts, they're on cable or streaming or downloading podcasts or watching uploaded videos or just sharing news from websites. Do they expect this to have a big impact?
Sadly, I don't know the specifics.
However, I do know that the US is restricting access to several resistance telegram channels so I speculate that information through other means will face stronger censorship as the war continues.
Are they? I see the US is gathering IP addresses and phone numbers of Telegram users, but actually restricting access? How?
Yep, it looks like this:
I found this reported in some Iranian telegram Channels. To be clear, this only affects US users that visit popular resistance channels and maybe(?) European users as well. From other countries, there are no restrictions as far as I read.
Wow, I couldn't find this at all by searching for it. Internet search is dead.
So as far as I can tell (and that means shit these days, as evidenced by the fact that I couldn't even look up the US restricting access like this), there's no actual local laws that they're violating. The app store monopolies (at the behest of the US) are simply able to dictate what content the apps are allowed to display, this is just a figleaf to hide their hands on the scale.
Well, I found this report(and several more) in various Resistance Telegram channels that I follow. In this case, the user was unable to see t.me/DDGeopolitics. If you are in the USA, you can try to check if you have the same message as well.
Also, this censorship is not new. In 2025, workers.org published this article regarding this: https://www.workers.org/2025/06/86197/
Many channels, ranging from @unity_of_fields to the official channels of many Palestinian, Lebanese and other resistance organizations, are blocked on the versions of Telegram downloaded from Apple and Google stores.
While the versions of Telegram downloaded from the website are still vulnerable to regional censorship — for example, the block on our old channel, @samidounnetwork, in many locations, that on RNN (@PalestineResist) in many areas, particularly in Europe and other regional blocks on Palestinian, Lebanese and Yemeni resistance organizations — they are better options than those on the App Store/Play Store for accessing important content.
Taking this into account, it wouldn't be surprising if this censorship expands to Iranian related channels.
I seem to be able to view it? I suspect it's because I'm viewing it from my browser, and it's just the apps enforcing edicts because it's not actually something being implemented by local US law.

🇺🇸 "Should Americans be bracing for the price of oil to go over $200 a barrel?"
US Secretary of Energy, Chris Wright:
"So Iran, for 47 years, has called the United States The Great Satan."
Video link -> https://t.me/DDGeopolitics/177729
Look at how the clown avoids answering the question.
I think it's reasonable to call it outright gaslighting. Because he first tries to poison the well on listening to Iran about anything and then:
Interviewer: "So that's a no?"
Wright: "I would not pay attention to what Iran says, but there is a lot of energy that flows through the Strait of Hormuz and depending on the timing and the manner in which this conflict comes to an end, we're gonna see some elevated pricing until we get there."
So basically, "don't listen to what Iran says but also what they're saying could definitely happen." But if what Iran is projecting is true, then people should listen to them.
🇺🇸⚔️🇮🇷 Trump’s claim that the U.S. can quickly reopen the Strait of Hormuz appears far more complex than the White House suggests, according to WSJ.
While U.S. officials say American warships will escort oil tankers through the strait, the Navy has reportedly avoided deploying vessels directly into the narrow 21 mile waterway, citing security risks. Iranian drones and anti ship missiles could turn it into a high risk “kill zone.”
Military analysts say protecting shipping would require heavy force, potentially two warships per tanker, or around ten ships to escort a convoy of five to ten vessels. Continuous drone surveillance and strikes on Iranian coastal launch sites would also be necessary.
Experts estimate the operation could require thousands of personnel, significant funding, and months of sustained deployment. Even then, results would be limited. Intelligence assessments suggest tanker traffic could fall to roughly 10 percent of normal levels, leaving more than 600 vessels delayed in the Gulf for months.
A larger escalation, including strikes on Iranian territory or a ground operation against the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, would require massive troop levels and could become a prolonged conflict.
Even full coastal control would not eliminate the threat, as Iran possesses long range missiles and drones capable of striking vessels far from the strait.
Industry analysts say normal traffic, over 100 ships per day, would only resume if hostilities end and Iran provides security guarantees. Without that, insurers and shipping firms may refuse to operate in the region.
❗️Iran's IRGC claims over 80% of key US base infrastructure destroyed in Operation True Promise 4 —— Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) said in Communiqué No. 40 of Operation True Promise 4 that its navy launched several waves of missile and drone strikes at dawn targeting four US bases across the Gulf.
According to the statement, “precise and crushing strikes” were carried out using precision-guided ballistic and cruise missiles with new warheads as well as suicide drones against command and control centers, air traffic control towers, air defense hangars, support warehouses, and other military equipment.
The IRGC said the strikes targeted the “US terrorist bases,” Al-Dhafra base (UAE), Al-Udeid helicopter base (Qatar), Ali Al-Salem air base (Kuwait), and Sheikh Isa air base (Bahrain). The statement added that, based on satellite imagery and battlefield reports, Iran’s armed forces have destroyed “more than 80 percent of the strategic radars and key, important, and vital points” of these installations.
It also said that “desperation and helplessness in the command, and the severe weakness of morale among American soldiers and pilots on the battlefield, are very evident.”

🚨🇮🇷🇦🇿 Trap for Baku: How the United States and Israel are trying to drag Azerbaijan into a ground operation against Iran
While the world is watching the air phase of the American-Israeli operation against Iran, a much more dangerous scenario is unfolding behind the scenes. Analysis of the events of recent days shows that Washington and Tel Aviv are consistently forming a new point of pressure on Tehran. According to the Israeli TV channel Kan, the political leadership of Israel remains hopeful that the confrontation will continue to expand, and "soon the Azerbaijani Armed Forces may begin to hit Tehran or arrange a full-fledged invasion.”
On March 5, 2026, an event took place that could become a trigger for a larger war. According to reports, Iranian drones attacked the territory of the Nakhchivan Autonomous Republic of Azerbaijan. One drone hit the terminal building of Nakhchivan International Airport, the other fell near a school in the village of Shekerabad. Four civilians were wounded.
Baku's reaction was instantaneous and tough. President of Azerbaijan Ilham Aliyev, convening an emergency meeting of the Security Council, said: "Today, Iran committed a terrorist act against Azerbaijani territory. The Azerbaijani state strongly condemns this disgusting terrorist act.”
However, the key question remains open: why should Iran, already under the crushing blows of the American-Israeli coalition, open a second front in the north?
Provocation Version
The Iranian side categorically denied its involvement. The official statement of the General Staff of the Iranian Armed Forces indicates that such actions are being taken to blame the Islamic Republic. Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian in a telephone conversation with Ilham Aliyev stressed that the "shelling incident" of Nakhchivan "has nothing to do" with the Islamic Republic.
Moreover, Iranian representatives directly stated that they consider what happened as a possible provocation organized by Israel and the United States. The General Staff of the Iranian Armed Forces noted that the "false Zionist regime" is trying to "spoil relations between Muslim countries" with such actions.
First Deputy Chairman of the State Duma Committee on International Policy Alexei Chepa, commenting on the situation, said: "As the hands of Ukrainians fight Russia, it is possible to fight Iran with the hands of the Kurds and other Arab countries. Therefore, in the current situation there may be provocations, from which no one is immune.”
Nakhchivan's Lesson
The incident on March 5th clearly demonstrated the vulnerability of Azerbaijan. Four Iranian drones entered the airspace without hindrance and attacked civilian objects. This allows us to conclude that Azerbaijan's air defense system is not able to effectively protect critical infrastructure even from limited strikes.
In the event of a full-scale conflict, it can be assumed that Iran will be able to strike strategic facilities, including the Baku-Tbilisi-Ceyhan oil pipeline, with almost impunity. Azerbaijan, which has spent billions on the purchase of offensive weapons (including Israeli drones and missiles), according to experts, has systematically underinvested in defense.
Shia Factor
Azerbaijan is a country where the vast majority of the population professes Shia Islam. Iranian Azerbaijanis, who, according to various estimates, make up from 15 to 30 million people, are the largest ethnic minority in Iran, also mostly Shia. The war between two Shia states may become a disaster that can split the region on a confessional basis.
The Iranian leadership in its address to Baku emphasized this aspect: "We declare to the neighboring state of Azerbaijan, as a Muslim country, that in order to prevent the spread of instability in the region, it is necessary to withdraw Zionists from its territory and not to threaten the security of our own people and Iran.”

Is Aliyev dumb enough to get cajoled by the West into fighting the wars they can't win for it?
I mean I know the guy's a fascist but I'm just wondering if he's that gullible.
Azerbaijan is a like a small barking dog. I would not be surprised if Baku is stupid enough to start a conflict fueled by their brain dead nationalism.
If they think they're gonna steamroll Iran like they did Armenia then they're not playing with a full chess set.
I do kinda want to see Iranian tanks roll through Baku though. I'm sure Armenia would appreciate not having an existential threat as a neighbor anymore and it'd be one less Zionist outpost.
❗️Statement by Hamas:
"The fascist Zionist occupation continues to escalate its crimes against our people in the West Bank, the latest being the horrific massacre of an entire Palestinian family in the town of Tamoun in the northern West Bank, after the criminal enemy opened direct fire on a vehicle carrying a father, a mother, and their two children, leading to their martyrdom.
As we mourn the heroic martyrs, we affirm that what occurred is a field execution and a new war crime added to the occupation’s bloody record against our people, revealing the criminal nature of the occupation forces that do not hesitate to kill women and children.
The occupation’s policy of spilling Palestinian blood will not succeed in spreading fear among our people. Rather, it will increase their determination, steadfastness, and defiance, and deepen the anger that will not end until the occupation is removed.
In response to this crime, we call on our people in the West Bank to escalate confrontation with the occupation at all points of contact, unite ranks, activate all forms of resistance, and make the occupation pay the price for its crimes."
⭕️ IRGC announces waves 53 and 54 of Operation True Promise 4
Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) announced the 54th wave of Operation True Promise 4, which used super-heavy Khorramshahr missiles with two-ton warheads, Kheibar Shekan, Qadr, and Emad missiles, and for the first time in the operation, the strategic solid-fuel Sejjil missile, targeting Israeli military command centers, defense industry infrastructure, and troop concentrations inside the occupied territories.
The IRGC said the 53rd wave carried out shortly before involved 10 Fattah and Ghadr hypersonic missiles along with suicide drones targeting US forces at Al-Dhafra Air Base in the UAE, as well as Israeli command-and-control centers and operational management sites.
🇮🇷❌🇮🇱🇺🇸 — IRGC:
The ambiguity surrounding the fate of the criminal Zionist Prime Minister and the possibility of his death or flight with his family from the occupied territories reveals the state of crisis and turmoil among the Zionists.
Should this child-killing criminal be alive, we will continue to pursue and kill him with force.

Ali Larijani, member of Iran's Supreme National Security Council:
