Rumors the US wants to try and take Kharg Island, Iran's main site for exporting its oil. As MI6 seems to believe, this would be an insane strategy - in part because of where the island is located, deep in the Gulf way past the Strait of Hormuz and very close to the Iranian coastline

Day 10 analysis from Hamidreza: β€œIranian analysts argue that these [US] bases form the backbone of U.S. operational presence in the Middle East and therefore must be weakened or rendered non-operational in order to reduce American and Israeli military freedom of action”

These rumors about US commandos securing Iran’s enrichment uranium has been swirling for days. Much like the Kurdish rumors this is a strange thing to leak. This admin is either terrible at keeping secrets or is attempting to manipulate or confuse the situation x.com/acyn/status/...

Censorship inside Israel is massive so the fact news of these Hezbollah successes is coming out is a big deal

Lebanon: Israel Unlawfully Using White Phosphorus The Israeli military unlawfully used artillery-fired white phosphorus munitions over homes on March 3, 2026, in the southern Lebanese town of Yohmor.

Human Rights Watch says they've verified that Israel has used white phosphorus on civilian populations in Lebanon.

Emily Schrader is providing cover for the US/Israel to bomb children going to school and people praying at mosques in Iran.

Schrader is a US-Israeli with ties to Israel's notorious Unit 8200, its NSA-like spy agency. This post is not an accident. It's a plant

Diaspora media outlets have worked hard to manipulate Iranian public opinion to support foreign intervention and back the US/Israeli war project. In 2022, Barak Ravid - a journalist who works closely w/Israel - admitted Iran Int'l was a propaganda tool of the Israeli govt x.com/BarakRavid/s...

Iran spoofing Trump by adopting his "tariff" model for ships transiting through the Strait, but also potentially raising much needed revenue. Given the US unilateral sanctions on Iran, will be interesting to see if they actually implement this and whether anyone pays x.com/spectatorind...

This isnt a misfire. This is US/Israel policy. Since World War II, Israel and the US have done more than any other two countries to try and rewrite the laws of war to justify the massive bombardment of civilians and civilian structures. This is how they "win" - thru criminality x.com/Sani_ir/stat...

There are plenty of reasons not to take Gulf states at their word when they say their territory is not being used to launch attacks against Iran. Here's the latest reason not to believe them: US admission its using land-based military assets to attack Iran x.com/araghchi/sta...

Hard to tell how much support for the government has increased since February 28 but hard not to believe there have been more shifts in its favor as a result of the US/Israel aggressive war x.com/SinaToossi/s...

Trump et al claim Iran's reduced missile launches means its losing its military capacity. Another - more likely - explanation is that Iran is doing exactly what it intends with more precise, more powerful weapons. The ones it used initially were reportedly much older models. x.com/TheCradleMed...

From Trita Parsi: "if the war ends now, Iran will be in a worse situation than it was before.. the war. Much of its infrastructure has been destroyed, its missile capabilities have taken hits, its ability to export oil has been damaged &.. its prospects for sanctions relief have been obliterated."

Earlier today, Trump said that the US military hadn't struck Iran's electrical infrastructure but that it might. Reports surfacing now that electricity grids in Tehran have been hit. This could be about pressuring the govt to accept a ceasefire.

The intensity of attacks have been incredible. Analysis suggests these may be tied to efforts by US/Israel to negotiate a ceasefire with Iran. x.com/dolfiniran/s...

They are pounding Tehran tonight. They have also hit Esfahan, inc targeting a UNESCO heritage site, and Tabriz. They asphyxiated Iranians with their oil depot strikes yesterday and now they resume bombing them in their homes where they are sheltering

Did Trump bomb Iranian schoolgirls with UK-made weaponry? Exclusive: Scottish factory helps make US Tomahawk missiles reportedly used in attack on the Minab compound in Iran, where over 100 children were killed.

"[Q]uestions about whether UK-made components were used."

Factory "in Glenrothes, Scotland, has won several contracts to produce components for Tomahawk missile systems."

"[T]ime for the UK to stop fuelling this US-led war machine."

France is saying it will provide escorts for tankers to sail through the Strait of Hormuz. This is France’s effort to force Iran to choose between keeping the Strait closed or potentially involving NATO in this war. x.com/ricwe123/sta...

US evacuating embassy staff from southeast Turkey. Iranian ballistic missiles allegedly shot down in Turkey near Incirlik military base. Iran has denied targeting Turkey but if there are US attacks coming from Incirlik it has every right to target the base. It’s just a dangerous gambit
