🇺🇸🇮🇷| US Senator Chris Murphy: Trump has lost control of the US-Iran war
Based on closed-door briefings, the senator says:
• Trump believed Iran would not close the Strait of Hormuz → he was wrong.
Oil prices are spiking; if the Strait stays closed → global recession (possibly already too late).
• Plan to open the Strait does not exist.
• US can’t combat Iran’s navy tools (thousands of small drones, speed boats, mines).
• Naval escorts for tankers are theoretically possible but impractical: Would require entire US Navy (≈100 tankers/day need escort).
• US can’t combat Iran’s drone war.
• Persian Gulf countries are running out of interceptors.
• Trump has no endgame/ no off-ramp.

🇱🇧❌🇮🇱 — Hezbollah's Secretary-General Sheikh Naim Qassim:
We in Lebanon are fighting a battle of legitimate defense to confront the brutal "Israeli" aggression, and we are facing a dangerous and savage aggression that poses an existential threat.
We were not facing a normal situation, but rather a continuous barbaric act lasting for 15 months.
We have raised the cry several times that the opportunity would run out, and that there is a limit to the continuation of aggression and a limit to the exhaustion of patience.
On three occasions, across three stages, we convened at the leadership level and consulted on responding to the aggression; however, we viewed the timing as inappropriate and were convinced of giving an additional chance, believing that the circumstances were not suitable.
There were parties contacting us and insisting that we provide them with an additional opportunity for the political path.
In the final month, the "Israeli" debate focused on the necessity of carrying out a major operation against Lebanon, but the debate was over the timing.
We found that in what occurred following the aggression against Iran and after the martyrdom of Imam Khamenei, conditions became suitable for us to confront this enemy.
On one hand, he has been committing aggression for 15 months and it seems he will not stop; on the other hand, he killed our Imam and leader; and thirdly, when the battle is synchronized with what is happening in Iran, we can weaken the enemy.
We mounted a defense, yet some say you provoked the enemy with this barrage; did the martyrs, the wounded, and the prisoners not provoke you?
We consider ourselves in the right of legitimate defense, and we are in the "Battle of the Al-Asf al-Ma'kul" (the Eaten Straw), which is in defense of Lebanon against the "Israeli" enemy.
We decided to name this operation the "Battle of the Al-Asf al-Ma'kul," which is a defense of Lebanon, our dignity, and our land, and a confrontation with the "Israeli" enemy, taking inspiration from Surat al-Fil in the Holy Quran.
The Lebanese government has been able neither to achieve sovereignty nor to protect its citizens.
The enemy has resorted to the destruction of homes in a horrific and very dangerous manner, even targeting Al-Qard Al-Hassan, and has displaced entire cities under the pretext of "fighting the resistance fighters," while in reality, he is extinguishing life.
There is no solution except through resistance; otherwise, Lebanon is heading toward extinction.
We have taken lessons and insights from the "Battle of the Mighty."
We affirm that the enemy now does not possess the capability to achieve its goals.
We have prepared ourselves for a long confrontation, and they will be surprised on the battlefield; the enemy will see our might, and his threats do not frighten us.
Hezbollah fighters are seekers of martyrdom who do not fear death and are ready for direct, close-quarters engagement with the enemy.
Your message has reached me, O Mujahideen, you who are the salt of the earth.
We are strong in three things: our faith in God Almighty, our support for the truth, and the will and equipment we have prepared.
When they kill people, they only intend to distance the people from the resistance, but they will not be able to.
These people belong to the resistance project; they have given their children to the path of resistance, and they are the people of resistance, honor, dignity, and glory.
The displaced and the refugees are in a position of contribution and sacrifice; they are satisfied with this and they believe in it. We are of them and they are of us, but endurance is the solution to overcome this stage.
I heard that Netanyahu is threatening me with assassination, and Imam Ali says: "Death is a sufficient guardian."
When the end of one's end comes, no one can prevent it; therefore, your threat is worthless, and he whose corruption on earth increases sets the stage for his own fall according to our traditions. Netanyahu is among the corrupters.
And the result was: "And We desired to bestow a favor upon those who were deemed weak in the land, and to make them leaders and to make them the heirs."
If there were no resistance, what would the "Israeli" have done? He would have entered the houses of Nabi Chit, house by house, killing them one by one and taking whomever he wanted.
The aggression must be stopped, not the resistance. This is our country, and we will not allow anyone to control its fate, its decisions, or how its children live.
We fight and are confident in victory. We will remain an impregnable wall in the face of the enemy's goals. We have the faith, the will, and the capability; for us, being killed is a habit, our dignity is from God, and martyrdom is our lot.
The solution is clear: a complete cessation of aggression, the full withdrawal of "Israel" from the occupied territories, the release of prisoners, the return of people to their villages, and the start of reconstruction. This is the solution for the resistance to stop this battle or this confrontation.
This resistance continues, and the field is the arena of honor. The word now belongs to the field; we are ready for it, God is with us, our people are with us, and the free and honorable people in our homeland and in the world are with us. This is the asset that will prevail, God Almighty willing.

• Military bases located in the north of the occupied Palestinian territories, especially the Ramat David Air Base, the airport in Haifa, and the regime army’s concealed missile launchers in Bnei Brak east of Tel Aviv, were targeted by Iranian missiles.
• The abnormal, illegitimate, and unlawful efforts of the American and Zionist aggressors in attacking Iran’s infrastructure and killing civilians will not go unanswered.
• A few hours ago, the 35th wave, under the blessed code phrase “Ya Heydar-e Karrar,” was carried out by launching Fattah, Kheybar Shekan, and Khorramshahr-4 missiles toward targets in Tel Aviv, Beit Shemesh, occupied Jerusalem, and American bases.
• Also a few hours ago, an armed Hermes-900 drone was shot down in Ilam by the IRGC’s air defense systems.
• Iran’s target bank for attacks on the military resources and infrastructure of the United States and the Zionist regime in the region is 10x larger than the targets available to these incapable enemies.

🇸🇦🤝🇺🇸🤝🇮🇱 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.

🇮🇷🇺🇸| Iran’s report re: US attacks in Kharg Island
According to Fars field reports, 2-3h ago, Kharg Island was subject to US attacks with more than 15 explosions on the island.
During these attacks, the US attempted to damage the Army’s air defense systems, the Joshan Naval Base, the airport control tower, and the Iranian Offshore Oil Company (IOOC) helicopter hangar.
Fars’ Field observations indicate thick smoke rising from various parts of the island, but none of the oil infrastructure was damaged in these attacks.
Iran had previously warned of the consequences of attacking the country’s energy infrastructure, stating that should such an event occur, all oil and gas infrastructure in the region in which the US and its allies have an interest would be set ablaze and destroyed.
Following these attacks, Trump claimed that the US had successfully targeted all military objectives on Kharg Island & "complete destroyed" the island's air defense systems.
However, 1h after the attack, there was air defense activity on the island which straight up debunks their claims that they destroyed all air defenses here.
Trump has also repeatedly claimed the complete destruction of Iran’s missile capabilities, yet the wave of missile and drone attacks [from Iran] has now reached its 48th round.

❗️Hezbollah fire paralyzes northern Israel economy, exposes air-defense failures
Israel’s northern towns are facing such intense and unpredictable fire from Hezbollah that reopening normal economic activity there is unrealistic and dangerous, according to an analysis published by Israeli newspaper Calcalist.
The report says residents along the Lebanese border – particularly in cities such as Kiryat Shmona – are spending extended periods inside shelters due to frequent rocket, drone, and anti-tank missile attacks, many of which arrive with only seconds of warning, and in some cases none at all.
Local officials argue that applying the same home-front guidelines used in central Israeli cities ignores the vastly different security reality in the north, where daily life cannot function normally under constant fire.
Despite the escalating attacks, the Israeli army has no plans to evacuate the remaining residents, even as tens of thousands were displaced earlier in the war and many have yet to return.
The analysis also casts doubt on Israel’s defensive capabilities, noting that the recently deployed Or Eitan laser interception system has yet to record a single operational interception since the outbreak of the current fighting, while the military maintains ambiguity about interception rates.
At the same time, Hezbollah is believed to have rebuilt a large arsenal – estimated at tens of thousands of rockets and missiles along with hundreds of drones – that continues to challenge Israeli air-defense systems and sustain pressure on northern towns.

The blockade of Hormuz may break the West. But it won’t break China. By amarynth
Brief teaser:
Let’s cut to the chase: BRICS is in deep coma. Blown up, at least temporarily, by India – which happens to host the BRICS summit later this year. Talk about horrendous timing.
India has betrayed, sequentially, both full BRICS members Russia and Iran. By sealing its alignment with the Epstein Syndicate, New Delhi has proved, without the shadow of a doubt, not only that it’s untrustworthy: more than that, its whole lofty rhetoric of “leading the Global South” has collapsed – for good.
BRICS will have to be completely revamped: even Grandmaster Sergey Lavrov will have to reach this inescapable conclusion. The original Primakov triangle, “RIC”, once again dies another day. Even if India is not expelled from BRICS – it could be suspended – “RIC” will necessarily have to be translated as Russia-Iran-China, or even “RIIC” (Russia-Iran-Indonesia-China).
When it comes to where we stand on the Grand Chessboard, Prof. Michael Hudson synthesizes it: “The great enabling fiction is gone. America is not protecting the world from attack by Russia, China and Iran. Its long-term aim of controlling the world oil trade requires ongoing terrorism and permanent war in the Middle East.”
spoiler
Whatever happens next, ongoing terrorism across West Asia will remain – as in the Epstein Syndicate, out of pervert impotence and sheer rage, unleashing a Black Rain over the civilian (italics mine) population of Tehran because Iranians refused to go for regime change.
Moreover, the heart of the matter until at least the mid-century is more crystal clear than ever. Either the Exceptionalist system of international chaos prevails. Or it will be replaced by Global South-driven equality, with China leading from behind.
This is a two-part analysis on key BRICS interplay related to the war on Iran. Here we focus on China. Next we will focus on Russia and India.
Don’t shoot! I’m Chinese owned!
Clueless MICIMATT (military-industrial-congressional-intelligence-media-academia-think tank complex) speculation about US intel “suggesting” China is preparing to help Iran is, once again, evidence of how Chinese sophistication total evades the puny “analyses” emanating from Barbaria.
First of all: energy. China and Iran follow a $400 billion, mutually beneficial 25-year agreement that essentially interlocks energy and infrastructure investment.
For all practical purposes, the Strait of Hormuz is blocked because of panicky Western insurance withdrawal. Not because Tehran blocked it.
China receives 90% of total Iran crude oil exports; that represents 12% of total Chinese imports. The key point is that China still has access to Iranian exports as well as Saudi, Emirati, Kuwaiti, Qatari and Iraqi exports: that’s because the strategic partnership Tehran-Beijing is iron-clad, meaning that Chinese-bound tankers can cross the Strait of Hormuz back and forth.
Beijing-Tehran negotiated a bilateral safe passage, operational since last Friday, in what for all practical purposes is a multilaterally-closed crucial maritime corridor. It’s no wonder that more and more tankers are now texting on their transponders the magic words Chinese Owned (italics mine). That’s their naval diplomatic passport.
Translation – and that’s a mega-game-changer: the end of the thalassocratic hegemony of the Empire of Chaos.
“Freedom of navigation” in selected maritime connectivity corridors now means “a deal with China”. Chinese owned, OK; but not European, Japanese or even South Korean.
What Tehran gets, in spades,is high-tech Chinese help for the war with the Epstein Syndicate. And that started even before the war.
The Chinese intel gathering Liaowang-1, a next generation SIGINT (signals intelligence) and space tracking vessel, for weeks has been navigating near the coast of Oman, providing Iran with real-time electromagnetic intel on the Epstein Syndicate’s naval and aerial movements.
That accounts to an enormous degree for the pinpoint accuracy of most Iranian strikes.
The Liaowang-1, escorted by Type 055 and Type 052D destroyers, carries at least five radar domes and high-gain antennas, accurately tracking at least 1,200 air and missile targets simultaneously using deep neural network algorithms. The range of its sensors is roughly 6,000 kilometers.
The beauty is that those sensors can equally track a Chinese satellite or an American carrier.
Translation: China is helping its strategic partner without firing a single shot, just by sailing a neural network processing surveillance platform in international waters.
So yes: China is recording the war, live, 24/7.
Complementing the Liaowang-1, over 300 Jilin-1 satellites record literally everything, constituting a massive ISR database of the Empire of Chaos in action.
There won’t be any official confirmation either from Tehran or Beijing. But Chinese real-life intel, relayed on Beidou, was certainly crucial for Tehran to totally destroy the US 5th Fleet infrastructure in Bahrain – a comprehensive radar, intel and database center and the backbone of US hegemony in West Asia.
This chapter of the war, tackled right at the beginning, reveals how Tehran went to the jugular when it comes to smashing the imperially designed power play of controlling strategic chokepoints and energy transit, thus denying Chinese access to them.
As stunning as it sounds, what we are watching, in real time, is Iran denying key maritime chokepoints, ports and naval connectivity corridors to the Empire of Chaos. For the moment, that’s Persian Gulf and the Strait of Hormuz. Soon it may be, with the help of the Yemeni Houthis, also the Bab-al-Mandeb.
Now that’s a max game-changer profiting not only China but also Russia – which needs to keep its maritime export routes open.
Got money, go East
Now let’s follow the money. China holds $760 billion in US Treasury bonds. Beijing has ordered its whole banking system to sell their Treasures like there’s no tomorrow, and simultaneously hoard gold.
China and Iran already trade in yuan. From now on, the BRICS lab experimenting with alternative payment systems must reach escape velocity. That involves all mechanisms being tested – from BRICS Pay to The Unit.
Then there’s the incoming money exodus. Saudi Arabia, UAE, Qatar and Kuwait are already “reviewing” every deal – dodgy or otherwise – they have struck with Washington. Collectively, they control no less than $2 trillion in US investments: Treasury bonds, Silicon Valley tech stakes, real estate, the works.
A tsunami of cash is beginning to invade East Asia. The favorite destination, as it stands, is Thailand – not Hong Kong. That will come – and once again, it will immensely profit China as Hong Kong is one of the key nodes of the Greater Bay Area, alongside Shenzhen and Guangzhou.
China’s strategic and commercial crude reserves are enough for up to 4 months. Apart from that, imports of crude and natural gas can be increased, by sea and by pipelines, from Russia, Kazakhstan and Myanmar.
So a mix of enough strategic reserves; several supply sources; and “demand-side shift from oil to electricity” qualify once again as Chinese resilience. The blockade of Hormuz may break the West. But it won’t break China.
