Iran War Watch

Some combo of Russia/China/Iran may very well take down our grid....America has become demonic.....Evil must be dealt with:

International affairs expert Sanubari warns that the Islamic Republic’s cyber doctrine has effectively bypassed the need for intercontinental kinetic platforms by securing deep access to the U.S. power grid.The announcement by hacker groups (Handala) within the last hour indicates a successful breach of the U.S. electrical infrastructure, creating a desynchronization of the traditional deterrent model. By weaponizing industrial control systems (ICS) and SCADA networks, the resistance has established a virtual front line within the American interior. Any attempt to strike Iranian domestic power nodes will trigger a reciprocal collapse across U.S. states, proving that the digital nervous system of the enemy is now as exposed as their regional radar anchors.

Russian Defense Minister:Yes, what we are saying is true: Iran possesses an offensive missile system that the United States does not have. There are highly advanced missiles that have not yet been used. Iran has a stockpile of missiles capable of destroying the entire Middle East, not just Israel.We call on the United States and Israel to immediately stop the war and declare the failure of the military operation against Iran. Otherwise, the losses and damage will be a surprise. That is all.

): “It will be far worse than 1929. It looks very dark. No doubt about it. There’s no way to make this look non-catastrophic.“Even if Trump is reined in, even if he is removed from power before he takes the final step of targeting Iranian vital infrastructure, the damage already inflicted on the world is very significant, and it will play out even if it ends today—which it won’t.“I think basically what we’re seeing is an empire collapsing. The thing that can lead us to disaster—the world toward disaster—is the arrogance of the West. That arrogance prevents them from still contemplating the fact that they are on the verge of collapse and that everything is on the verge of coming to an end—everything as we knew it.“These are very dark days, and they can become much darker. But in order to end this evil empire and this ethno-supremacism, there has to be resistance, and I think ultimately it will bear fruit. And this evil empire, when it falls, will create hope for the future.“But sadly, since empires are brutal and lash out and they fail to accept their decline, it will be painful for people across the world and across our region and across the West.”
 
JUST IN: IRGC Responds to Trump:IRGC Public Relations:“The lying, terrorist, and child-killing president of the United States has claimed that the IRGC intends to target the region's desalination plants and cause hardship for the people of the region.Firstly, it is the aggressive and anti-people American army that started the war by killing children and sacrificing 180 elementary school children, and so far has targeted five water supply infrastructures including the desalination plant on Qeshm Island. The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps has never done such a thing.Secondly, it is this terrorist and child-killing American president who has threatened to attack Iran's power plants, and naturally, attacking electricity will disrupt many humanitarian services such as hospitals, relief posts, water networks, and desalination plants, which is inhumane. What we have done is to announce our decision that if there is an attack on power plants, Iran will retaliate by targeting the power plants of the occupying regime and the power plants of regional countries that supply electricity to US bases, as well as the economic, industrial, and energy infrastructures in which Americans have shares. Rest assured, we will do this.You hit our hospital, we did not do such a thing; you hit our relief centers, we did not do such a thing; you hit our schools, we did not do such a thing, but if you hit the electricity, we will hit the electricity.We are determined to respond to any threat at the same level it creates in the deterrence balance, and we will do so. America does not know our capabilities and will see them on the battlefield.”

Iran fights until the bases close. All of them. In Qatar at Al Udeid. In Bahrain with the Fifth Fleet. In Kuwait at Camp Arifjan and Ali Al Salem. In UAE at Al Dhafra. In Jordan at Muwaffaq Salti. Across Iraq and beyond. Built to contain Iran. Kept open to threaten it.Iran sees the war through Kant’s Perpetual Peace. Ali Larijani gave the republic this lens. He translated Kant. Wrote on him. Explained to Kissinger once how true peace comes only after exhaustion. When one side quits. When the cost breaks the will. Not through talk. Not through deals while encirclement lasts.No end while bases stand. No truce with encirclement. Iran holds. Drains the occupier. Waits for the fatigue to win.All political pundits and defense experts giving analysis on Iran know nothing of Iran. They miss the philosophy. They miss the commitment. They speak of tactics. Iran speaks of endpoint.

I have a different idea about why Trump reversed course (again) and unilaterally called a cease-fire, before his apocalyptic 48-hour deadline expired. Most ascribe this change to market manipulation, and that's probably part of his reasoning, but I think there is something much larger at play.Susie Wiles, an ardent Christian Zionist, is still serving as Trump's gatekeeper. Joe Kent was excluded from the decision-making process that led to our joint Israeli-American sneak attack assassination bombing raids on 28 Feb. He would have counseled Trump not to make this catastrophic move. I'm pretty sure Tulsi Gabbard has also been locked out by Wiles. Meanwhile, neocon war hawks like Lindsey Graham and Ted Cruz, and, of course, Bibi Netanyahu, have unlimited access to POTUS Trump. Ted Cruz said he spent all day of 27 Feb with Trump, advising him to go to war against Iran, using the negotiations as a ploy. Trump has even laughingly referred to Pearl Harbor, bragging about the surprise attack.But even Susie Wiles can't keep the V.P. and the Secretary of State from seeing Trump in person. I believe his insane 48-hour deadline, to essentially see the entire Middle East gas, oil, petrochemical, electrical generation and water desalinization infrastructure destroyed in the war escalation, has caused Vance and/or Rubio to step in forcefully.Vance, as a former Marine, must be horrified by Graham's excited call for another Iwo Jima, (26,000 casualties, 7,000 KIA). Rubio must be taking angry calls from world leaders, warning against the catastrophe which will unfold if the Middle East is wrecked. Infrastructure that took 50 years and a trillion dollars to build cannot be rebuilt before the global economy is destroyed and mass starvation ensues. If this infrastructure is wrecked, millions will die of immediate dehydration. And it won't matter if the Strait of Hormuz is reopened, as there will be nothing to ship out.And America will be blamed, with Israel, for starting the war that triggered this unprecedented human calamity.I believe that Vance or Rubio, or both, have pushed past Susie Wiles to tell Trump to call off his insane 48-hour countdown to Armageddon, or they will resign, and tell the world why. A resignation by Vance or Rubio would make the Joe Kent resignation seem like a tiny hiccup. That's why I believe Trump invented his bogus "Iranian negotiations" story, to call off his 48-hour countdown.

Let me explain what just happened 5 minutes before the President announced a halt to attacks on Iran… someone placed a $1.5 BILLION bet on stocks going up and dumped $192 million in oil.5 minutes…These trades were 4 to 6 times larger than anything else in the entire market. Whoever did this wasn’t guessing. You don’t risk $1.5 billion on a hunch.There was zero public indication this announcement was coming. No leaks. No press. Nothing. The only people who knew were in the room when the decision was made.Someone in that room picked up a phone.And within minutes they made more money than most Americans will earn in a thousand lifetimes. In a single trade. On a war that cost you $4+ a gallon gas and $16 billion in tax dollars.American citizens funded this war. Politicians are profiting from it.This is not the first time. Every major announcement from this administration has had massive suspicious trades right before it dropped. Tariff reversals. Policy shifts. War decisions.This is the most blatant insider trading operation in the history of American politics. It’s not even close. And it’s happening over and over in broad daylight.You would go to federal prison for trading on a tip from your cousin. These people are front running war decisions with billion dollar bets and nobody will ever ask a single question.Nobody will be investigated. Nobody will be charged. By tomorrow this will be buried under the next satisfying headline. Just like last time. And the time before that.The game is rigged. And they’re not even trying to hide it anymore…

Here is something American culture cannot process and has spent fifty years refusing to process:Vietnam did not win because of luck.Vietnam did not win because America made mistakes.Vietnam did not win because of Soviet weapons or Chinese support.Vietnam won because Vietnamese people were better at this war than Americans were.Better strategists.Better at understanding the terrain.Better at sustaining morale across decades of unimaginable suffering.Better at building an underground economy of resistance that no bombing campaign could touch.Better at turning every American escalation into a recruitment tool.Better at knowing what they were fighting for and why it was worth dying for.General Võ Nguyên Giáp, who defeated both the French and the Americans, was a history teacher before he was a general.He had no formal military training.He studied the Vietnamese landscape, the Vietnamese people, the psychology of colonial occupiers, and he designed a strategy around all of those things.He understood something American generals, with all their training, all their technology, all their experience, did not understand:This war would be won by whoever could outlast the other side's will to continue.Not firepower. Will.And he was right.He was right about the French.He was right about the Americans.The most powerful military on earth was out-thought by a history teacher from a colonized country.That is not an accident of history.That is not a mistake or a miscalculation.That is what happens when you underestimate people.When you look at a rice farmer and see someone beneath you.When your own arrogance becomes your greatest strategic liability.America's arrogance cost it Vietnam.That arrogance has never been honestly examined.It has never been corrected.Which is why the same pattern keeps repeating in different countries with different names.
