Times Of India
Mar 21, 2026
Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian used his Nowruz address to propose a sweeping regional shift, calling for an “Islamic Parliament” and a unified security structure among Middle Eastern nations. He urged Muslim countries to reject foreign military presence and resolve conflicts internally. Pezeshkian denied Iran is pursuing nuclear weapons and accused Western narratives of misinformation. He also blamed Israel for regional instability while calling neighbouring countries “brothers” and expressing readiness for dialogue. Framing unity as essential, he said the region can achieve peace, stability, and prosperity through cooperation, warning against falling into divisions created by external forces.

We are prepared to resolve all issues with you, our esteemed friends. We propose that in order to establish lasting peace and tranquility in the
region. A security architecture comprising the collective of Islamic countries in the Middle East should be formed. This structure would then
guarantee peace, security, and stability throughout the region. We have no need for the presence of foreign powers in
our region. We are capable of forming an Islamic council for the Middle East together with other Islamic countries.
And within this very Islamic council of the Middle East, we can maintain our security relations, our economic relations, our cultural relations, and
our political relations with one another. We absolutely do not have the right to engage in conflict with one another. We must not under any pretext
or for any reason whatsoever allow ourselves to fall into the elaborate traps that our enemies have so carefully designed.
No rose uh in our culture and in our belief system for many many ancient
centuries and millennia has been a new beginning in life within our country.
In our culture with the arrival of Novus when the new year begins we make an effort to set aside all grudges,
resentments and disagreements. This year more than any other we desperately need no ruse. a no rules that proudly
displays national unity, cohesion and consensus within our culture and indeed to the entire world. Uh we do not intend
to create conflict with uh Muslim nations. We are not seeking any confrontation or war with Islamic countries. They are in fact our
brothers. This conflict that has arisen is a formidable enemy which with its approach and its actions is in our society among us Muslims creating division.
Edoses is us to face immense difficulties without any justifiable reason or logic. They martyed our beloved and cherished leader without any justifiable reason or logic. They
martyred our commanders and our ministers for no reason or logic. Those who speak
of human rights who speak of humanity martyred innocent children in a school.
innocent children. Their backpacks are here with all the hopes and dreams they had for their lives.
These are the ones who constantly speak of humanity. They're always trying to lecture us about human rights. But our core belief, our true conviction is to serve all of humanity.
Our belief is to help every person in distress and assist every sick
individual. But with the words they speak, the actions they take globally,
and the slogans they proclaim, they portray us as guilty. We were never in any way pursuing nuclear weapons. No
official in the Islamic Republic can possibly move towards the development of nuclear weapons of mass destruction. Nor can they steer the entire process in that specific direction.
And then America and its president are trying to convince the world that we were moving towards nuclear weapons. We
wanted we wanted in fact to initiate mass killings and unfortunately the world's media accepts these false
narratives and based on that they claim they want to fight against those who have destabilized the entire region. In
these days that have passed since the war began, not for a single day, have our fasting people left the streets
empty. It's truly unbelievable for everyone to comprehend this. The president of the United States claimed these are artificial intelligence. They
should send their journalists to witness this artificial intelligence that is moving, that is shouting, that is defending its humanity, its rights, its
nation, and the very integrity of its country. They should see how these people are truly acting. These things they refer to as artificial intelligence. These are the people of
Iran. Uh these are the people of this country, this land. And they have stood
to their last breath to defend their nation and its soil. Our dear neighbors who surround Iran. You are our brothers.
this problem or rather this deep-seated corruption that has unfortunately developed within our relationships. Our heartfelt prayer is that God will graciously intervene and help to
completely remove this corruption and this profound disagreement. We are prepared to resolve all issues with you,
our esteemed friends, we propose that in order to establish lasting peace and tranquility in the region, a security
architecture comprising the collective of Islamic countries in the Middle East should be formed. This structure would
then guarantee peace, security and stability throughout the region. We have no need for the presence of foreign
powers in our region. We are capable of forming an Islamic council for the Middle East together with other Islamic countries. And within this very Islamic

with one another. We absolutely do not have the right to engage in conflict with one another. We must not under any pretext or for any reason whatsoever
allow ourselves to fall into the elaborate traps that our enemies have so carefully designed for us. We declare to the entire world that we are not seeking
chaos or instability in this region. We do not wish for every nation to be compelled to amass weapons and
ammunition for its own defense and then simply wait to see whether its land will be invaded or not. We are by no means contemplating interference in the internal affairs of other countries.
We absolutely do not wish for the security and tranquility of the region to be disturbed or compromised in any way. This is something we can resolve
ourselves with mutual cooperation by joining hands. And this serves as a clear message to all Islamic nations.
The rectification of affairs tainted by corruption is indeed a divine command so that we may be able to address and resolve it amongst ourselves. It would
be much better if instead of promoting this in the media and instilling this belief in your own people that Iran it
is the source of all this unrest in the region. Believe me and you yourselves must truly believe this and you must know and you already know deep down that
it is Israel. Yes, Israel that is causing all this chaos, this instability, this genocide, this terror and all this sabotage throughout our
region. My dear compatriots through unity and mutual assistance
while we will build our Iran and bring honor and prosperity to our people with our
neighboring countries. We will guide the region towards peace, friendship, development and economic prosperity.
We can together with each other and our neighboring countries bring about security and prosperity in the region.

Fresh explosions rock central Israel and sirens blare across cities once again as the war between Iran and Israel
intensifies and the entire region stares at being engulfed in the raging conflict. In a chilling video
purportedly from Tel Aviv, a massive fireball and thick smoke plumes were visible. According to the video shared
by Iran's Press TV, the huge blast occurred after Iran launched a new wave of missile strikes on Israel on March
Another video shared online by Russia Today [music]
reportedly shows an Iranian missile soaring above Israel. Meanwhile, [music]
Israeli media reported damage by cluster munitions in the central cities [music]
of Bot Yamam and Hollan. The report by the Times of Israel cited rescue services as its [music] source. An
earlier report by the Times of Israel from March said that Israeli rescue forces were responding to reports of
[music] several impacts in central Israel, possibly caused by cluster submunitions [music]
or other falling fragments following Iran's latest ballistic missile attack.
The latest missile attack, reportedly [music] the seventh since midnight, triggered sirens across central Israel.
First, we got the call on the phone, the alerts that we have to go to to stay near the bomb shelters. Straight away, I went to the bomb shelter. Uh we were
inside. We hear a a big explosion and they told us that we can get out. Uh so I uh went out, we saw a lot of people
gathering here and then we just we saw the damage. It's weird when it it reaches your home. Uh but at the end,
we're we're in Israel so we're kind of used to it. and I hope this ends soon so we can go back to our normal lives.
Meanwhile, Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps on March [music]
announced the launch of the rd wave of Operation True Promise targeting [music] several Israeli cities. Footage
shared by the Iranian Elite Paramilitary Force showed [music] missiles being launched by IRGC personnel.
[music]
Fresh explosions rock central Israel as sirens scream across cities once again.
Iran's missile campaign intensifies [music] and the region edges closer to fullscale war. Explosions are reported
in central Israel following a fresh wave of Iranian missile launches. Multiple [music] projectiles are fired,
triggering air raid sirens across several major cities. According to Al Jazzer Arabic, the blasts occur shortly
after missiles are launched from Iranian territory. Emergency services rush to assess the situation as [music]
uncertainty grips the region. Initial reports indicate no immediate casualties or major [music] damage, but the
psychological impact of the strikes is immediate and widespread.
[music]
The Israel Defense Forces confirms the attack in an official statement. It says missiles were identified heading toward
Israeli territory [music] moments before impact. Air defense systems are activated attempting [music] to intercept the incoming threats. At the
same time, emergency alerts are pushed [music] directly to citizens mobile phones. Residents are instructed to move into protected shelters without [music]
delay. Authorities stress that following instructions is critical to saving lives. For several [music] tense
minutes, millions remain inside fortified spaces. The threat lingers [music] as interception efforts continue
overhead. Then, after a rapid situational assessment, the all clear is issued. Citizens are permitted to leave
shelters, but vigilance [music] remains high.
This latest [music] strike comes just hours after devastating attacks in southern Israel. Nearly people are
reported injured [music] in Deona and Arad. Among the wounded are children,
including a -year-old boy [music] and a -year-old girl. Both suffer injuries from shrapnel [music] as missiles strike
residential areas. The attacks expose a critical vulnerability. Israeli air defense systems fail to intercept at
least two ballistic missiles. Deona, a highly sensitive location, becomes [music] a key target. The city is known
for its proximity to Israel's nuclear research facility. Iranian state media claims the strikes are [music]
deliberate. It says the nuclear site is the intended target of the missile barrage. Thrron describes the attack
[music] as retaliation. It links the strikes to an alleged US attack on Iran's Natan's enrichment [music]
facility. Israel denies any involvement in the Natan's incident, but the escalation continues regardless, [music]
pushing tensions to new heights. Israeli leadership responds [music] with strong words. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyamu
vows to continue [music] fighting on all fronts. He is joined by military chief Ayal Zamir reinforcing [music] the message of sustained military action.
Soon after Israeli [music] air strikes are reported in Thran targeting key infrastructure. The conflict [music] is no longer limited to isolated exchanges.
It is evolving into a sustained and [music] dangerous confrontation.
Iranian analysts signaled that the situation may worsen. Mi Muhammadi warns that this time the [music] war will not
end quickly. He claims Israel's missile defense systems [music] are nearing depletion and suggests that the current phase marks only [music] the beginning
of a longer conflict. His message is blunt and ominous. [music] The war, he says, has just begun. With missiles
[music] flying in both directions and civilian areas under threat, the region stands at a critical crossroads. Each strike deepens the crisis. [music]
Each response brings the possibility of wider war closer. As nightfalls, [music]
one reality becomes clear. The cycle of escalation is accelerating and the stakes have never been higher.
A direct missile strike near one of the most sensitive [music] nuclear sites in the world. Southern Israel rocked,
defenses breached, and dozens wounded in a single evening.
A chilling escalation unfolds in southern Israel as a ballistic missile slams into a residential area near
Dimona. The exact moment the Iranian missile struck Deona was captured on CCTV cameras. The desert city, home to
Israel's most secretive nuclear research center, is suddenly thrust into the center of a rapidly intensifying conflict.
Emergency sirens whale across the region as residents scramble for shelters, but the incoming projectile proves unstoppable. For the first time, [music]
Iran linked missile fire appears to penetrate Israel's heavily fortified air [music] defense systems near Deona.
According to Magen David Adam, more than three dozen people require urgent medical attention following the strike.
Shrapnel injuries, panic-induced [music]
trauma, and injuries sustained while rushing to shelters overwhelm emergency responders on the ground.
Among the [music] wounded, a -year-old boy is left with moderate injuries. A stark reminder of the [music] civilian toll in an increasingly volatile confrontation.
Scenes of chaos unfold as ambulances rush through dimly lit streets carrying victims away from shattered homes.
So far, over casualties with varying degrees of severity have arrived at the hospital. A -year-old child was severely injured and has now been
transferred to the operating room for further treatment. Another injured person in his s sustained moderate injuries and all other casualties with
minor injuries or anxiety are currently being treated in Soroka's emergency room. The strike comes with a clear message from Thran. Iran declares it is
[music] targeting Israel's nuclear program in retaliation for an earlier attack [music] on its Natan's enrichment facility. That facility located deep
within Iranian territory was reportedly struck just hours earlier. [music]
Iranian state media points fingers at joint USIsraeli involvement though Israel swiftly denies responsibility.
[music]
The international atomic energy agency acknowledges reports of the demona incident but offers cautious reassurance. No signs of damage to the Negev [music]
Nuclear Research Center are detected and no abnormal radiation levels are reported.
Yet the symbolism of the strike cannot be ignored. Dimona operational since represents the heart of Israel's
alleged nuclear capability, a program shrouded in decades of secrecy. While Israel has never officially confirmed
possessing nuclear weapons, global consensus strongly suggests [music]
otherwise. And now that very symbol appears to have been placed directly [music] in the crosshairs.
As tensions surge, another southern [music] city, Arad, also comes under missile attack. The simultaneous strikes [music] signal a coordinated escalation,
widening the threat footprint across Israel's southern flank. [music] Israeli defense systems, long considered among the most advanced in the world, failed to intercept the incoming projectiles.
[music] This unprecedented breach raises urgent questions about the effectiveness of existing missile defense shields.
Iran's parliament speaker Muhammad Baker Galibath declares the moment a turning point. He claims the inability to protect Deona [music]
signals a new phase in the conflict's operational dynamics.
Back in Israel, [music] Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu delivers a somber message. He describes the evening as one of the most difficult in the nation's ongoing battle for its future.
Meanwhile, the situation at Natans continues to draw global concern.
The IAEA confirms no radioactive leakage, [music] but begins investigating the reported strike in greater detail.
Russia's [music] foreign ministry issues a stark warning condemning any attack on nuclear facilities. [music]
It cautions that such actions risk triggering a catastrophic [music] disaster across the Middle East.
This is not the first time Natan has been targeted. [music] It has previously been hit during earlier phases of the conflict, including a brief but intense
[music] war last year. But the latest exchange marks a dangerous escalation with both sides now appearing willing to
strike near nuclear linked sites. The margin for error shrinks dramatically
[music]
as the risk of miscalculation grows.
For civilians [music] on both sides, the consequences are immediate and terrifying. Air raid sirens, shattered homes, and mounting casualties [music]
paint a grim picture of a conflict spiraling out of control. The world watches [music] closely as nuclear-lensions
move from shadow warfare into direct confrontation. [music]
Each strike, each response, bringing the region closer [music] to a potential point of no return. As night falls over southern Israel, the question remains,
is this a limited escalation [music] or the beginning of a far more dangerous phase in the Middle East conflict?

[music] as retaliation. It links the strikes to an alleged US attack on Iran's Natan's enrichment [music]
facility. Israel denies any involvement in the Natan's incident, but the escalation continues regardless, [music]
pushing tensions to new heights. Israeli leadership responds [music] with strong words. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyamu
vows to continue [music] fighting on all fronts. He is joined by military chief Ayal Zamir reinforcing [music] the message of sustained military action.
Soon after Israeli [music] air strikes are reported in Thran targeting key infrastructure. The conflict [music] is no longer limited to isolated exchanges.
It is evolving into a sustained and [music] dangerous confrontation.
Iranian analysts signaled that the situation may worsen. Mi Muhammadi warns that this time the [music] war will not
end quickly. He claims Israel's missile defense systems [music] are nearing depletion and suggests that the current phase marks only [music] the beginning
of a longer conflict. His message is blunt and ominous. [music] The war, he says, has just begun. With missiles
[music] flying in both directions and civilian areas under threat, the region stands at a critical crossroads. Each strike deepens the crisis. [music]
Each response brings the possibility of wider war closer. As nightfalls, [music]
one reality becomes clear. The cycle of escalation is accelerating and the stakes have never been higher.
A direct missile strike near one of the most sensitive [music] nuclear sites in the world. Southern Israel rocked,
defenses breached, and dozens wounded in a single evening.
A chilling escalation unfolds in southern Israel as a ballistic missile slams into a residential area near
Dimona. The exact moment the Iranian missile struck Deona was captured on CCTV cameras. The desert city, home to
Israel's most secretive nuclear research center, is suddenly thrust into the center of a rapidly intensifying conflict.
Emergency sirens whale across the region as residents scramble for shelters, but the incoming projectile proves unstoppable. For the first time, [music]
Iran linked missile fire appears to penetrate Israel's heavily fortified air [music] defense systems near Deona.
According to Magen David Adam, more than three dozen people require urgent medical attention following the strike.
Shrapnel injuries, panic-induced [music]
trauma, and injuries sustained while rushing to shelters overwhelm emergency responders on the ground.
Among the [music] wounded, a -year-old boy is left with moderate injuries. A stark reminder of the [music] civilian toll in an increasingly volatile confrontation.
Scenes of chaos unfold as ambulances rush through dimly lit streets carrying victims away from shattered homes.
So far, over casualties with varying degrees of severity have arrived at the hospital. A -year-old child was severely injured and has now been
transferred to the operating room for further treatment. Another injured person in his s sustained moderate injuries and all other casualties with
minor injuries or anxiety are currently being treated in Soroka's emergency room. The strike comes with a clear message from Thran. Iran declares it is
[music] targeting Israel's nuclear program in retaliation for an earlier attack [music] on its Natan's enrichment facility. That facility located deep
within Iranian territory was reportedly struck just hours earlier. [music]
Iranian state media points fingers at joint USIsraeli involvement though Israel swiftly denies responsibility.
[music]
The international atomic energy agency acknowledges reports of the demona incident but offers cautious reassurance. No signs of damage to the Negev [music]
Nuclear Research Center are detected and no abnormal radiation levels are reported.
Yet the symbolism of the strike cannot be ignored. Dimona operational since represents the heart of Israel's
alleged nuclear capability, a program shrouded in decades of secrecy. While Israel has never officially confirmed
possessing nuclear weapons, global consensus strongly suggests [music]
otherwise. And now that very symbol appears to have been placed directly [music] in the crosshairs.
As tensions surge, another southern [music] city, Arad, also comes under missile attack. The simultaneous strikes [music] signal a coordinated escalation,
widening the threat footprint across Israel's southern flank. [music] Israeli defense systems, long considered among the most advanced in the world, failed to intercept the incoming projectiles.
[music] This unprecedented breach raises urgent questions about the effectiveness of existing missile defense shields.
Iran's parliament speaker Muhammad Baker Galibath declares the moment a turning point. He claims the inability to protect Deona [music]
signals a new phase in the conflict's operational dynamics.
Back in Israel, [music] Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu delivers a somber message. He describes the evening as one of the most difficult in the nation's ongoing battle for its future.
Meanwhile, the situation at Natans continues to draw global concern.
The IAEA confirms no radioactive leakage, [music] but begins investigating the reported strike in greater detail.
Russia's [music] foreign ministry issues a stark warning condemning any attack on nuclear facilities. [music]
It cautions that such actions risk triggering a catastrophic [music] disaster across the Middle East.
This is not the first time Natan has been targeted. [music] It has previously been hit during earlier phases of the conflict, including a brief but intense
[music] war last year. But the latest exchange marks a dangerous escalation with both sides now appearing willing to
strike near nuclear linked sites. The margin for error shrinks dramatically
[music]
as the risk of miscalculation grows.
For civilians [music] on both sides, the consequences are immediate and terrifying. Air raid sirens, shattered homes, and mounting casualties [music]
paint a grim picture of a conflict spiraling out of control. The world watches [music] closely as nuclear-lensions
move from shadow warfare into direct confrontation. [music]
Each strike, each response, bringing the region closer [music] to a potential point of no return. As night falls over southern Israel, the question remains,
is this a limited escalation [music] or the beginning of a far more dangerous phase in the Middle East conflict?

Transcript
Welcome, ladies and gentlemen. What happened in the last hours is nothing short of a historic military and psychological blow, the likes of which
haven't been seen since the dark days of the Second World War. We are talking about the Iranian missile strikes that targeted the very heart of Israel's
nuclear ambitions, the cities of Arad and Deona. And when I say targeted, I mean penetrated. The Israeli military
with all its bluster and its heavily funded Iron Dome was forced to issue a stunning admission. Their air defense
systems failed to intercept the incoming ballistic missiles.
Iran launches direct ballistic missile strikes on Israeli cities, including areas near its most sensitive nuclear site.
Urgent developments from southern Israel. Deona, one of the country's most sensitive locations, has come under missile attack. Iranian strike on a
building in Deona, which is the nuclear hub of Israel.
These weren't just random rockets fired from Gaza. These were sophisticated large warhead ballistic missiles that flew freely through the occupied skies,
leveling an entire street in Iraq and more symbolically striking perilously close to the nuclear tunnels in Deona.
This was Iran's response after Israel and the United States decided to poke the lion in its den, targeting nuclear centers and research facilities inside
Iran earlier today, proving once and for all that the era of hit and run without consequence is over. The casualty figures we are receiving are staggering
and paint a picture of sheer chaos. We are looking at over injured across both locations with reports of serious
shrapnel wounds and people buried under rubble in a rod. Emergency services in the occupied territories described the
scene in Iraq as very severe with entire residential structures collapsing.
There's significant damage as you can see. This is a residential area.
There's significant damage to at least three buildings. This is a police official speaking. There's also this is
a very complex scene. We are still surveying the area.
We cannot rule out the possibility that there are those still trapped under the rubble. Unfortunately,
there were small children who we uh evacuated in serious condition. This is a very difficult and complex scene.
We're working all emergency services together to provide
treatment The impact was to in the middle in the center between four buildings as you can see the shock waves.
But it's the location that matters more than the numbers here. Arad and Deona are not just random towns in the Negv
desert. They represent the crown jewels of the Israeli occupation's weapons of mass destruction. Deona is home to the
Shimon Perez Negev Nuclear Research Center, the clandestine facility where the regime manufactures its nuclear warheads, maintaining a policy of
deliberate ambiguity to avoid international accountability. By striking this area, Iran sent a crystal clear message. If you touch our nuclear
infrastructure, we will shatter the myth of your own nuclear sanctuary. The entire world saw the Iron Dome,
which Netanyahu promised would protect every citizen, rendered useless against the might of the Iranian military's precision strikes. Before we go any
deeper into how the regime in Tel Aviv is scrambling to respond, and how Netanyahu is once again gambling with the lives of his own people to save face, I need to ask you to do something.
If you believe in honest journalism, if you are tired of the Western media lying about who is the aggressor here, hit that like button, share this video, drop
a comment, even if it is just a dot to push this truth through the algorithm.
And if you haven't already, subscribe to this channel. We are one of the few platforms left telling you the truth
without the censorship and without the bias for the Western War Machine. Now,
let's get back to the details of this unprecedented escalation. The Israeli Army spokesman Effie Diffren tried to
spin this disaster by saying the strikes were not a special or unfamiliar type of munition. But if they are so familiar,
why couldn't you stop them? The reality is that the air defense systems were activated, interceptors were launched,
and yet they failed to lock on to the threats, resulting in direct hits from ballistic missiles carrying warheads weighing hundreds of kg. This is a
catastrophic failure of the technology that the United States has poured billions of dollars into. For decades,
the narrative was that Iran's missile program was primitive. But what we saw yesterday was the Iranian military showcasing a capability to hit sensitive high value targets with impunity.
Iranian parliament speaker Muhammad Bagger Galibah didn't mince words. He stated that this successful strike near
the Dimona nuclear site signifies a new phase of the conflict, adding that the fact Israel couldn't intercept missiles
in the heavily fortified Deona area proves operationally that Israel's skies are defenseless. This wasn't just a
retaliation. It was a declaration of strategic parody. Now, to truly understand the depth of this strike, you have to understand what Arod and Deona
represent to the Zionist project. The Deona reactor, officially known as the Negev nuclear research center, is the
heart of the occupation's nuclear weapons program. It is the one facility they guard with the utmost secrecy, the place where they produce the plutonium
for their undeclared arsenal. When Iranian missiles struck that area, they were effectively sending a message to Netanyahu and his war cabinet. Your red
lines are our target practice. This is the same regime that earlier today was celebrating strikes on Iran's Natan's
nuclear enrichment facility. They thought they could [ __ ] Iran's nuclear infrastructure without consequence. They miscalculated. The
Iranian military spokesman, whose name is Brigadier General Ali Muhammad Naini,
made it clear in a statement that the Islamic Republic is now on the offensive after weeks of what he called calculated tit fortat. He emphasized
that the era of strategic patience is over and that the Iranian people will no longer tolerate threats to their national security. The regime in Tel
Aviv thought they could rely on their American backers to do the heavy lifting, but they forgot that Iran has spent decades perfecting the art of
indigenous power projection. And this brings me to the absolute farce that is the leadership of Benjamin Netanyahu.
Here is a man who just hours after dozens of his citizens were injured,
including a -year-old boy seriously wounded by shrapnel, took to social media to vow that he would continue
striking our enemies on all fronts. Look at the sheer madness of that statement.
Instead of surrendering to the reality that he has dragged his people into a war they cannot win, he doubles down. He admits he will continue this path of
destruction. Let's be brutally honest here. Netanyahu sacrificed the safety of smaller cities like Arod and Deona to
protect the big cities. We have intelligence reports suggesting that the Iron Dome batteries were stripped from these vulnerable areas and concentrated
in Tel Aviv and Jerusalem, leaving the nuclear heartland exposed. He started a war of choice, thinking he could bomb
Iran with impunity. But he doesn't have enough missile interceptors to handle the retaliatory waves. He is subjecting the civilians of Israel to torture,
forcing them to live in bomb shelters and watch their homes collapse. all for his delusional dream of a greater Israel and regional domination. He wanted to be
the global superpower's favorite ally and instead he has turned his country into a vulnerability map. But the greatest irony in all of this is the
emergence of Iran not just as a regional power but as a global superpower in the making. While the United States and its
puppets are bogged down in a war of attrition, Iran is wielding the ultimate weapon, economic leverage. We are seeing
reports that Iran now effectively controls the world's oil, levying what is essentially attacks on ship owners crossing the straight of Hormuz. The
United States Treasury just announced it was lifting sanctions on Iranian oil already stranded at sea just to try to
cool surging oil prices. An act of desperation that Iran's oil ministry mocked, stating there is no crude oil
left in floating storage. The world is scrambling. The same West that cheerleaded for the destruction of Iranian infrastructure is now begging
for Iranian oil to flow. This is the definition of strategic resilience. And what about the nuclear dimension? Israel
hit Iranian nuclear facilities and now there are reports emerging that the Iranian military has issued an evacuation order for the Dimona nuclear
reactor area. Expecting a massive retaliation or a controlled operation in the coming days. The International
Atomic Energy Agency is running around trying to calm nerves, saying no abnormal radiation levels were detected yet, but the psychological impact is
done. Iran has signaled that it may now be forced to reconsider its nuclear doctrine. They have watched the West
ignore Israel's undeclared nukes for years while punishing Iran for enrichment. If the occupation continues
its belligerance, Iran may very well decide that the only language the West understands is the one Netanyahu speaks,
the language of the bomb. This is the monster Netanyahu has created. A situation where Iran, the victim of
constant aggression, is on the verge of emerging as a nuclear power with the resources and the will to back it up.
Watch an analyst on Iran state television.
So, here we are nearly weeks into a war that the United States and Israel thought would be a quick victory. They thought they would see an uprising in
Iran. Instead, they saw the unification of the Iranian nation. They thought they would [ __ ] Iran's allies. Instead,
they are facing a multiffront war with Hezbollah clashing with Israeli troops in southern Lebanon and rockets flying from Yemen. The war is not winding down.
It is expanding. And the man responsible for putting his people in the crosshairs, Netanyahu, is still talking
about increasing the strikes. He is playing a game of Russian roulette with the entire region, but his gun is running out of bullets. We will continue
to monitor the situation as the tunnels in Deona face the reality of their vulnerability. Subscribe and keep it locked here for more updates. We are not

Streamed live 3 hours ago #iranwar #israel #trump
Iran's missiles smashed Dimona nuclear facility, home of Israel's alleged nuclear weapons. The mass casualty event is rocking Israel and both Trump & Netanyahu are sending strong signals he wants to tap out. Danny Haiphong breaks it all down!
Transcript
Welcome back to the show everyone. It's your host Danny Hiong. As you can see,
I'm in a different location and pardon my NPR voice because I am traveling right now. But we're going to get right to the news because the news has been
absolutely stunning. Hit the like button as you come on to watch this program today. Let us begin with what has
happened uh in the last hours to Israel. Iran's massive strike on not
just Deona but also Arad. Uh these strikes together have caused massive damage and mind you Deona is the
location a small city I believe only or so square miles uh big. uh it is the location of the infamous nuclear
facility where it is said the production of about to nuclear warheads have
been produced over the decades of Israel's existence. So this was a massive strike and it was in retaliation
hours before this Israel reporting and Iran reporting that Israel had attempted
to strike the Natan's nuclear facility uh of Iran and Iran now noted that this
facility was not uh uh damaged to the extent where there's any leaks or anything of this sort. So Iran hit back
hard and it hit back in a way that absolutely shocked Israel because as Iran did this and I'm going to show the
images in a second. the uh Iranians, the Iranian military declared that it has
full control over uh Israel's airspace because you may recall that Demona has
been talked about by Israel and by the world as one of the most heavily fortified installations
inside of the settler colony. So, this is a massive hit to be able to strike
Deona in this way. It shows as Iran has said that air defense systems are indeed collapsing all across the colony but especially even in these hard-hit areas.
Here are just some of the images that have come up uh in Deona and in Iraq.
The casualties are extensive there in Iraq alone. There was a hundred I believe casualties and six killed. And
overall Iran is saying there were over casualties. in Israel is saying that uh these are going up every single
minute uh to the day where more and more people are being hospitalized and found in the rubble. So this is the situation
right now for Israel. It is incredibly dire. They're getting desperate. The mainstream media in Israel, Israel
Hyome, Channel they are saying that Israel is not setting the pace of this war, but Iran is. This is a massive
change in the situation in the war. And Iran declared in this wave, this is wave We're in wave right now. Central
Israel is being hit. Tel Aviv is being hit. Bengarian airport is being hit by Arash drones. I mean, this is a massive
escalation by Iran going up the ladder in a very strategic manner to demonstrate that it has full control now
over Israel's airspace. So in this wave though, Iran noted that uh what has been
reported is the Karashimar missile hit uh Arad and Deona that that was the
missile that struck him. Now Arad in particular is very notable because it is being reported by Israeli media that
just one single Karashimar missile caused all of this damage. So it wasn't a huge volley. It wasn't a barrage of
missiles. There was a barrage of missiles that were firing in the area,
but one missile caused the casualties and the eight killed in this action. Now,
Israel has tried to frame this, mind you, you've probably been paying attention to how this war has been talked about, but Israel has been
framing these attacks by Iran, these retaliatory attacks as against civilians. You cannot argue this in
Deona because Deamona is a heavily secured fortified site where nuclear scientists, researchers, and
um military personnel are housed. Nobody else. You're not allowed in the Deona area. You can't just live in the Deona
research facility vicinity. Iran didn't hit a nuclear reactor. They weren't attempting to cause a nuclear disaster at this moment. But what they did was
they showed that they can do it and they can do it at any single moment from here. So this is a massive escalation.
It's also a massive example of how Iran is every single day in this war now. It
cannot be hidden that it is actually seizing the initiative. It has the advantage in many ways. Doesn't matter
how many civilians that are Israel and the United States are attempting to kill and killing uh each and every day. We
are seeing that air defenses are collapsing in Israel and we are seeing that the United States has and Israel have no solution toward Iran's strategy.
They cannot stop it and they are not stopping it. Now I want to just talk to you about Deona in particular. to be able to hit the Mona is not only a
historic feat in the sense that uh it is demonstrating to the world that Israel's heavily fortified nuclear facility is
very vulnerable and can be hit at any time. But uh this facility is subject to the controversy of Israel's ambiguity
about nuclear weapons. Now uh this facility was built with the assistance
of the French in the mid s about and it has been subject to a lot
of scrutiny even by the United States itself in ' uh they conducted a uh an inspection of this the US state
department's bureau of intelligence and research. They pointed to the production of plutonium at this site and they said Israel at this time possessed a nuclear
weapon. Now also you may not remember that uh in the year of the apartheid
regime in South Africa and Israel conducted a nuclear weapons test that has not been confirmed by anybody. No
one has confirmed it officially but uh there were at the time the incident of this double flash that was detected over
the South Atlantic. It stirred suspicions that there were tests being conducted between Israel and South Africa from what was happening at the
Deona facility. The Stockholm International uh Institute uh for Peace Research concluded that in
Israel possessed at least nuclear warheads and they are being produced at that facility. This is massive. This
shows that Iran, and I've said this, if Iran is going to be if there's going to be if
it's going to be threatened by a Samson option because the US and Israel cannot defeat Iran, Iran
is going to need to show that it can hit this facility faster than Israel can mobilize its nuclear weapons. And it
just did that because there were no air defense systems anywhere to be found. I mean this is an absolute gamecher and it
shows that there is no way that Israel can counter at this time what Iran is
doing. Uh so this is a massive a massive development. At least a thousand Israelis have been displaced alone at
this time. And according to Israeli media now, there's at least been to injured. And there have been at
least that many displaced as well. And Israel is a very small country. It is not Iran. It is only is a fraction of the size of Iran. I believe less than
times the size of Iran or about times the size of Iran. Uh smaller than Iran. So,
Israel is in big trouble at this moment. But, you know, as this is all happening,
right, uh, Donald Trump is going through a massive panic. I don't know if you've seen the reports that now Donald Trump is alleviating sanctions on Iranian oil.
Iran hit right back and said, "We don't have any oil to sell you." Now Donald Trump is threatening an ultimatum on
Iran to reopen the straight of Hormuz in the next two days. As of this recording,
it's less than two days now. So two days from the time he posted this on on Truth Social. Um
uh uh that that's Deona, but here's what he posted on Truth Social. If Iran is un fully open uh without threat the straight of Horm moves within hours
at this exact point in time, the United States of America will hit and obliterate various power plants starting with the biggest one first. Thank you
for your attention to this matter. So that's what Donald Trump said. Donald Trump said he's going to hit uh the
biggest power plants in Iran and turn the lights out essentially. Well, has Iran wavered? Have they budged? No,
actually what Iran did according to uh sources, they have said say goodbye to electricity all across the Gulf. So I don't know if you can zoom in on this,
but this just goes over all of the various points that the IRGC said targets they would hit if their energy
facilities are targeted, if their electrical grid is targeted. So this includes of course uh the Ross Leafan in
Qatar which has already been hit which has already been devastated. This incredibly important uh gas power facility has been damaged beyond belief.
Uh there's believe there's uh talks that it's not going to be able to uh come back into operation at all in months and
then years before it can get back to its capacity before the war. Because just a few days ago, Iran hit Qatar's energy.
They hit Saudi plants. They hit Kuwaiti oil. Uh they went absolutely ballistic with their hypersonic missiles uh on
these facilities after Israel hit South Pars and the United States of course hit South Pars. They work together always.
So this is what Iran is promising. It's promising to to turn out the lights and it's not only promising to turn out the
lights on uh the Gulf region, but it's also making note the speaker of the
parliament said uh and I'll just uh I'll read what he said. He said immediately after power plants and infrastructure in our country are targeted, the critical
infrastructure, energy infrastructure and oil facilities throughout the region will be considered legitimate targets and will be destroyed in an irreversible manner and the price of oil will remain
high for a very long time. throw down what is in your right hand, it will swallow up what they have made. So, uh
this is the speaker of the parliament in Iran making a very clear promise to the
uh United States and Israel and the Gulf if they participate in this escalation.
So, you have now Iran declaring dominance over the skies of Israel. uh
in the videos which I won't pull up here because of I don't want the connection.
I don't have the best connection right now. So I want to make sure that you know in the videos everywhere that you can see all over X of Iranian hypersonic
missiles devastating Deona devastating Iran there's no air defenses going up radars we're being told it's and
Israelis themselves are absolutely freaking out they are in shelters every single minute of every single day because Iran's waves now are coming uh
in more frequent uh more frequently now. So you have at least three, four, five in a single day.
So that means three, four, five radars being uh going off. Israelis having to rush to the bomb shelters. And right now
they're just staying. So this is uh this is a disaster for Israel. They're essentially out of air interceptors.
United States is trying to increase the amount of money that they are investing in this war essentially to continue the war, continue to arm Israel, etc. and
it's likely not going to work. And we even have rumors that Donald Trump,
according to Axios, is attempting to formulate a peace plan in order to uh stop this war, in order to get an
offramp to this war. But if you read what Axios said, the points in the peace plan that he is going to push to Iran at
certain point, I think Iran continues to ignore Donald Trump's request and his administration's request to talk. But if
you read what they are saying, they're trying to get Iran to pause all missile production for at least years and then eventually agree to no missiles at all.
Of course, uh destroy and uh uh you know, stop all uranium enrichment. It's the same old demands and it just
demonstrates that Trump is desperate and he has essentially put himself into a corner where there is no off-ramp anymore. There really isn't. the only
off-ramp that is going to exist at this time. It's the one that Iran offers. And Iran is offering pretty specific terms
for what it wants uh in the uh closure of this war. And I just want to read
what the spokesperson for the Iranian military has said. He said following previous warning, any attack on Iran's fuel and energy infrastructure was to
trigger strikes on all US and Israeli energy, IT and desalination facilities in the region. So this is going far
beyond oil. Iran with the Deona strike demonstrated that it is willing to hit the most sensitive supposedly most
heavily fortified area nuclear production facility. this facility that is known to house the secret uh uh
capabilities, the Samson option, all of it right there. Iran is willing to hit that and it's a it's a massive
development. It's huge. Now uh now Iran's uh largest power plant for
Donald Trump uh it only supplies % of total power in Iran. So Iran is a
heavily decentralized electrical grid and these threats ultimately may backfire in a huge way because it is the
Gulf countries, it is Israel, it is uh the region itself that relies heavily
heavily on desalination plants and a centralized electrical grid uh that is
dependent upon the very energy that Iran has already demonstrated it can hit all across the region from Kuwait to Qatar
to Saudi Arabia. to Bahrain. Uh the the options for Iran are limitless while the United States and Israel have to
essentially gamble that any single strike on Iran's electrical grid will cause the lights to go out and the
population to rebel and uh for collapse to essentially uh happen.
Fantasy. This is complete and utter fantasy. The shape of this war right now is this. the United States and Israel,
they are targeting civilians. They are trying to pressure. We've heard Scott Besson literally say that
they have supposedly targeted Iranian officials inside of the country who are willing to turn and it's all about the economic pain that is going to be caused
by the devastation the US is trying to re wreak on the country that will lead to massive changes. And all we've seen
is people on the streets still to this day. Iranians continuing to be on the streets. It doesn't matter how many air strikes go over their head from Israel
and the United States, they are on the streets. But these air strikes are becoming more and more dangerous. We
reported here just a couple days ago that a US F-was downed. So Iran able to hit nuclear sites in Deona. uh the
nuclear site in demon able to hit a rod which is right by the nuclear site essentially able to uh uh hit wherever
it wants in Israel and then you have the question of well what about the US's air superiority because the US F-hit a
couple of days ago was admitted by SenCom to be struck by Iranian fire.
What does that mean? Air defenses. Iran still has air defenses and according to Iran in the last hours before this show
came on they have hit a US F-on the border of uh the straight of Hormuse. So
the straight of Hormuz border there was according to Iran
a F-hovering into Iranian airspace and it was hit. Now I can only show you the image of what they released. So,
this is from Iran. Take it from what you will. They released of uh them targeting and in the video, you know, you see the air defense hit and they say that this
F-was down. We don't have official confirmation yet from the United States.
We only have what Iran is saying, but you know, we should get that confirmation from the United States in the coming hours. This is all forming a
picture. This is what I want to impart to you in these updates is not just that Iran's nuclear site, the air defense is
all this that is all collapsing. The nuclear site in Deona is uh vulnerable.
Uh Israel knows it. Israel is saying that Iran is setting the pace for this war in the United States with its threats
with Donald Trump's threats. It's going to obliterate the electrical grid of Iran. Iran is saying, "Okay, do it. We
have the ability to hit you, too. And it's going to hurt you even more because oil prices are the exact reason why
Donald Trump is panicking, seeking peace talks, seeking to obliterate Iran. There is no consistency here. The overall
agenda of the United States is in shambles because it has gambled on this war as according to friends of the show
like Richard Medhurst and others who are saying that the United States is going to gain energy dominance out of this in certain areas like gas etc. This was a
trend for the United States for years and years and years. It's energy independence all of this. But the world economy, it while the petro dollar of
course runs on uh oil production and gas and all of this, the the entirety of the
global economy is going to reach a level if Iran continues this of crisis that
will be far so far beyond that the United States itself empire will not be able to sustain uh the uh consequences
of it. and we will see the United States wanting to tap out. That's why we're seeing this inconsistency. The US uh ruling class, these wararm mongers, they
are both trying to speed up the destruction of Iran. They're trying to destroy Iran completely and entirely
while also attempting to uh get out of this because they know it's all about time. The time is ticking for Wall
Street. The time is ticking for uh the entirety of the US economy. they eventually will pull the plug because of
the panic that a major US military defeat will bring. And this is this is where we are. It's a massive defeat.
We're we're still waiting on the thousands of Marines that are coming into play in the coming days, if not
weeks. Now, the Gerald Ford, you might have seen the reports, that is out for two weeks. That is no longer able to sit out in the Mediterranean and defend
Israel anymore. That's gone. That had to leave. Why? Because there was some -hour fire. Suspicious -hour fire
that just devastated the ship and now it's no longer functional. That's how fragile US power right now is, the
empire is. These weapons that we say are so magnificent, the wonder weapons, all of this, they are being shown by Iran to
be not only vulnerable, but in many ways defeatable. They are able to be beaten.
the downing of the F-the downing of the F-the downing by Iraqi air defenses, the KCs,
they're vulnerable. And now with the F-what this is demonstrating too,
and what we have talked about on this show, is that the US and Israel have actually been using uh certain missile
systems that have the ability, the Jericho, etc. to to stand off. You can fire them, right? You can fire them from
a very far distance outside of Iranian air defense capabilities, right? The Iranian air defense can't get them if they're too far away, if they're
hundreds and hundreds of kilometers away. And these missiles, like the Tom Hawk, have a have a range of thousands of kilometers. Now, they're running out
of these missiles. They have to creep in. They're on the border of the street of Hormuz, and there are they are getting hit.
We're almost seeing every hours a new US aircraft getting hit. Again, the
vulnerability is exposed for the world to see and the institution of ground troops is only going to make it worse.
So now Donald Trump is panicking and wanting to uh do something absolutely unthinkable in the eyes of the world
which is to target now power uh electrical grids to continue this escalation ladder from oil energy now to
electrical energy now everything will be on the table and Iran is saying go ahead we have the capacity to hit you back and
to hit you back in a way that will damage you far more than us the the the center for responsible statecraft. They
published a study that no that US can do nothing about Iran's energy capabilities in large part because Iran has been
sanctioned for many years. And what did that do? It created the need to independently develop an electrical and
energy uh system that is centered on keeping the Iranian nation going and
alive. So, I just want to reiterate that the reports right now out of Israel are really bad. That there's over
Israelis alone uh being displaced from this war now a thousand alone in the last hours evacuated from Deona and
from Iraq because of these strikes. And so Iran has not been bluffing from the very beginning. They have said that they are going to go through with their strategy,
Operation True Promise they're going to go up the escalated ladder that they have a strategic plan and that they have been building this up for many years uh
especially after the many instances where the United States use negotiations as a weapon of war to start a war.
So it's this is a very dangerous game that the United States is playing. uh
Iran has given now very hardline demands which the US cannot possibly accept
without accepting defeat and the fact that Iran is confident in sending these demands while conducting its operations shows exactly where the initiative is.
Remember uh war is not just about war.
It's not about just the big bang weapons. It's not just about what Iran can do versus what the US can do and Israel can do. It's about also
what is the uh what is the condition the stability and the character of the
players involved and what does it say about the foundations of these players involved in the war and what we are
seeing is massive instability coming from the Trump administration coming from Israel coming from the Gulf states they're coming together and they're huddling around they're saying we're
going to enter the war against you Iran we're going to you know we're going to get even more involved. And Iran is saying you've been involved. You've been
involved. And now the Wall Street Journal is saying they've been involved.
They they're saying highs have been fired from Qatar. They're saying missiles have been fired from Bahrain.
They're saying this is this is all coming out now. Right? What Iran has been saying is now being verified as truth. This isn't me. This isn't me just
saying, "Oh, Iran said this and it's the truth." No. Now, Western mainstream media like the Wall Street Journal are coming out and saying, "Well, Iran said
that they were parties to this war." The mainstream media, CNN, everyone tried to lecture the Iranian officials and say,
"You uh you're targeting energy facilities. That's not a military target." And then Iran goes right back.
You've targeted us. You've targeted these exact kinds of facilities to us. So, we are going to target you right back. And Iran's demands,
listen to these demands, okay? Because this is critical to understand. These demands are guarantee of no future wars,
closure of US military bases in the region, compensation for Iran, ending the wars on all fronts in the region,
and a new legal regime for the straight of Hormuz, as well as extraditing elements of hostile media media to Iran.
Because Iran says you have Iranian nationals inside of Iran spreading uh inside the United States, inside of
other countries promoting in in the region, promoting and spreading hostilities to Iran and they are our
jurisdiction. But these demands are shocking because they do reveal the
complete and utter bankruptcy of the US's overall position and posture in the
region as well as Israel's guarantee of no future wars. Do you think the Trump administration in the United States and Israel can do that? That means admitting
defeat, closure of military bases in the region. Well, that's a precondition for the no future wars because US military presence has to get out in order to
guarantee that no war is going to come on Iran compensation to Iran. Well,
we don't even know the exact number now. Uh, a number of civilian targets have been hit.
Infrastructure, we've seen not only south pars, but we've seen southern tan oil facilities. We've seen destruction
being laid upon Iran. Uh so compensation, yeah, compensation is needed in order to repair those things.
End wars on all fronts in the region.
Now, this is the critical one because this is a regional war. And so what Iran just did to Deona, what it just did to Iraq, it's just the tip of the iceberg.
We've seen in the last hours,
Hezbollah is hitting Israel hard, not just on the ground in Israel's attempted ground invasion, but it's also hitting
Israel hard in the air. It is sending rockets, ballistic missiles itself onto central Israel into northern Well, and
it is wreaking havoc. Iraq, the Iraqi resistance in just hours. operations.
They are hitting the US embassy hard.
They are hitting US bases hard. And NATO is gone. There's no more NATO in Iraq.
They have left. They've said we had to uh we had to figure out a different mission. We had to uh uh ensure that we
were that we recalibrate our mission and and they left. You saw Polish troops, you saw others, they left. NATO's gone.
So the Iraqi resistance has evicted NATO in Iraq. This is going disastrously and Yemen has said, "Try it Gulf States. Try
it Saudi. Try it. We will hit you right back." And you know the Houthis on they're itching to get back into a
struggle against Saudi Arabia which has never provided restitution for the massive crimes that Saudi Arabia and the UAE as well committed inside of Yemen
during that war that caused one of the biggest humanitarian catastrophes in the world. Uh in it was noted that Yemen was suffering the worst
humanitarian catastrophe in the world in in one of the worst in history that have been recorded for Gaza.
So this is uh this is a a big deal for Yemen. Uh and so they're going to get
involved in this uh war as well. So this is a massive uh situation that is
on our hands. Uh the escalations continue. Uh we are seeing uh Iran continue to pursue its uh
strategy. We are seeing a uh a new phase of this war come about.
We are seeing a new phase uh occur where uh there are no red lines. Iran. And
these aren't these aren't red lines that are being violated by Iran. It is the United States. It is Israel that
continue to cross red lines that they're creating for themselves. and that Iran is escalating in kind through their
through their strategy of ensuring that any hit against them is felt by the United States and Israel in kind in
their own way in a way that is more significant than than what is happening to Iran because Iran has said Iran lost
I don't even know the exact numbers but during the Iran Iraq war Iran lost an untold number of people that were
subject to chemical weapon attacks by US provided chemical weapons. Uh uh hundreds of thousands, millions of
people were put in the line of fire by that war. And ever since Iran has been
subject to these attacks by the United States and by Israel and so they've been preparing to suffer consequences that
they believe are deemed absolutely worth the defense of sovereignty and the capacity and the continued developing
capacity to push back the empire. And so that's why this really does matter. This really does matter what just happened in
Deona, what just happened in Iraq, what is happening all across the region. Iran
is not bluffing anymore. In just less than a week, Iran has shown that it can hit energy facilities whenever it wants
all across the region. and the you know from refinement now going into the actual exporting of these products and
that it can hit the most sensitive most heavily fortified um area of Israel the
Deona nuclear facility which at any point could turn into a nuclear disaster and now it's promising it can hit all
the all the electrical grids of the entire region and as well if they want to go this far because there have been
rumors that Israel and the United States may try to target water uh facilities and other civilian infrastructure like this. They've said that they can hit
desalination plants too, which Iran does not depend on, but the United States and
Israel do. So, this has massive implications. Uh we are seeing the straight off continue to be closed. Iran
is now imposing a toll. They're saying they're going to impose a toll. They are going to only reopen it to those who they
will allow to go through with coordination from the countries involved and Iran. So Iran is dictating terms
here. Iran has full control of straight over muzz and it just down an F-according to Iran to show exactly how
much control it has. Uh I think what some people miss because I
see that there are those saying that well the United States here is going to run away with massive profits in the energy field because higher uh energy
prices actually benefit uh the US because of the US's uh gas dominance.
And they've been doing this with Nordstream. They've been doing this all over the world, Venezuela. And yes, this is true. The United States is going to run away with massive profits in the
form of their monopolies, their energy monopolies. uh that's very temporary.
The stability of the global economy that is long-term Iran is excite is
exercising long-term pain. Right? You heard with mainstream media short-term pain for the long-term gain. Iran is
instituting long-term pain for the US monopolies, the oils, the Epstein class, all for their short-term gain. Yeah,
they'll gain a little bit now. They don't they don't care about that Iranians or Israelis or anybody. They'll make a lot of money off of this. They already are. Uh these higher prices are
going to lead to massive windfall profits in the short term. But in a week from now, two weeks from now, April, we
might be seeing a catastrophic uh recession uh come into place which will have
massive political effects. They're they're not invincible. uh the United States uh Israel they are not invincible and they are showing exactly how
vulnerable uh they are every single day the longer that these operations uh continue. So without further ado
everybody uh this is the update I wanted to provide you because uh we are in a
moment of uh historic proportions. We are seeing uh this escalation lead to I
think a huge shift in the world situation. Uh we're going to ultimately see uh while the US
monopolies may come out as short-term winners of this disaster, uh we are going to see Israel is not going to come out as a winner. There are some who believe that. Some I've had on my
program believe Israel is a long-term winner. No, I believe that Israel is going to be damaged uh in a way that is is is not only going to harm its
reputation, but it's also going to harm its capabilities. Iran will make sure of that. Uh not to mention the fact that we are now seeing that the resistance is
far stronger than what was assumed by Israel itself, right? When Hezbollah entered the war, oh wow, we didn't know that is Hezbollah could come in with
this kind of ferocity. uh I don't think that they uh uh Israel itself understood what kind of vulnerable position it was
in this entire time that yeah when you go for maximum expansionism toward greater Israel any kind of imperial
project of this nature you could run into a wall and that wall is the people and now people uh are going to be
incredibly uh hardened they're going to learn massive lessons from this if Iran is
forced to take the actions that Donald Trump is essentially uh uh pushing Iran to take, well then people all over the
region are going to learn the lesson that the United States and Israel caused the most catastrophic humanitarian crisis in the region. Uh and many have
already learned this lesson from what's happened in Gaza, continues to happen in Gaza, in Lebanon,
and of course this war in Iran which has killed thousands of civilians. So, uh,
someone asked, "What will Iran demand from the Zionists to end the war?" From the Zionists, Israel can't really give anything, right? And that's why they're going to demand everything from the
United States because unlike much of the world right now, and even people watch this show, there's a lot of people believe, you know, Israel controls the
United States. But it's the United States that controls the petro dollar and it it has it has hijgemony in the world to a certain degree. It's waning.
It's fading, but it does have hijgemony in the world. And that's why Iran is only going to deal with the United States. There's no negotiating with Israel. Israel can't provide anything.
Israel is a tiny tiny tiny colony with a military that can only get into US uh supported or provided jets. Uh can only
do most operations like uh the pager attacks. It does not have the capabilities not only to do anything on its own. It can't defeat Iran on its
own. It can't defeat Hezbollah on its own. It can't defeat anybody on its own. But also, it has nothing to offer.
really the only thing it can offer is the end of its existence. That's what it can offer. And the only way that that happens is of course if people make that
happen and then of course the United States gets out of the region. So actually what Iran is demanding is exactly this. It has demanded that US
military presence leave. All regional wars end. And what does this amount to?
Right? This just what I listed there in terms of Iranian demands. What do they amount to? They amount to not only the
end of US military presence and US dominance in the region, they also amount to the end of Israel because Israel cannot survive without the US's
fullthroated support for it and all of the installations, the control of the Gulf of countries, all of this. Without
that, there is no more Israel. Israel will will cease to exist. And so, these are demands that the US can't meet. And
so we're going to see in the coming days, just expect it. Just mark it down.
You're going to see Donald Trump go back and forth, the Trump administration go back and forth with panicked responses.
Eventually, the realities are going to set in, though. But Iran can hit wherever it wants. Iran is not out of missiles. All the data shows that Iran's
drone and missile attacks are not necessarily subsiding, but they are uh increasing and decreasing based on what
Iran wants to do. And Iran has said they can do this for months to a year. And we are now getting very close to a full
month. And there is no indications, no leaks, no nothing saying that Iran is uh
running out of weapons and becoming short on its uh you know on its arsenal.
Nothing. No indications of this. Lots of indications all over the western mainstream media though. You might have heard of uh US air defense shortages that has been destroyed in the region,
right? Everything that has happened up until this point informs what is happening now. All the radars that have been destroyed, at least eight. Uh so
that means that interceptors are not even uh accurate. They can't detect what's coming to them. And we know that Iran has also destroyed entire fat systems in the region during this war.
So the US and Israel are heavily depleted. They are finding themselves in a situation that they didn't think they would be in. They didn't think they
would be in a situation where they would be in a dog fight. This was supposed to be three to four days when this started,
February th. to days. We are getting close to the month-long period.
And right now, as we speak, Iran is hitting central Israel. Iran is hitting Kuwait. Iran is hitting uh bases all across the region. And Iran is getting
ready, if the US makes due on its promise in the next to hours, it's getting ready to hit the entire electrical grid and energy systems of
the Gulf countries. So this is just the objective equation here. This is not oh rah rah rah Iran. Iran doesn't need
that. Iran is doing what it has to do to survive, to defend its sovereignty. Um Iranian people are out in the streets
defending their sovereignty and saying that they want it to the war. people all across the region are getting involved.
I don't know if you saw the lines that are happening in Iran by men to join the military. That's not happening in the US. There are rumors that there are
deployment orders for the nd Airborne Division and that these uh naval assets are going to be used uh by the United
States to try to invade Car Island and occupy it or uh that they're going to be used to forcibly open the straight of Hormuz.
Well, the fate of that F-kind of demonstrates what's going to happen if the US sends ground troops to Iran.
It'll be a catastrophic disaster. It'll be so much more rapid and so much more shocking than anything the US has ever faced. Afghanistan and Iraq, Vietnam.
Vietnam was a protracted guerilla war by the Vietnamese people to extract and and and get rid of US military presence and
of course the invading um you know bombs and and aircraft and everything that was happening at that time killing you know hundreds of thousands millions of
civilians at a time over the course of over a decade this will be a lot faster because Iran they have drones they have
missiles and they have men they have a huge military that they've promised This is is going to create pain. It's going
to create pain for uh the US forces, the invading forces.
This is the war that the United States essentially asked for. This is the one that they asked for. This is this is the one that they said was the right time,
right? This is the right time to do this because Iran was on the brink. the protests, the you know, Venezuela, there
was everything was coming into place for the United States, but it miscalculated.
Massive miscalculation. Now it's all over the mainstream media. Just Google search Iran and you will see article after article after article panicking
about US miscalculation. miscalculating people's support for Iran,
miscalculating Iran's military capabilities, miscalculating the US's power in the region, miscalculating Israel's capabilities, US, we can go on
and on and on, but it's all pointing in the same uh direction. And so, you know,
the news is going to continue to develop fast here. Uh, and we're going to cover it here, you know, over the course of the days uh and hours uh and and you
know, to come. Uh because uh right now uh the United States is trying to double down. They're trying to
uh you know, keep this war going, but every single day the holes are becoming
more and more clear. uh uh the the images of Iranian cluster submunitions
from the Kashmar the fact that we're not seeing any images of US in Israeli interceptors going up. And now we have
the Mona nuclear facility targeted. The town, right, is a nuclear facility town.
It is heavily fortified. No air defense interceptors went up. Israel's investigating this saying, "Oh, we don't know why this happened." Well, Iran is
telling you and the world is watching and seeing that it's likely that you don't have anything left to fire back
with. So, yeah, the operation will continue. Um, the operation will
continue. The war will continue. I just want to make sure I I thank everyone for for watching this uh show briefer more
brief show than the uh shows often are ultimately just take the conclusion that
you know if you are very high up on the US empire right now if you believe that this operation was successful was going
to be successful is successful right now if you believe that the empire has a future uh if you believe that uh these
windfall gas profits temporary in nature are going to lead to the stability of its economic system
you know out of this war. All of the signs point to the opposite especially given that uh military humiliation some
have said is some a price that the US can pay the US elites can pay. I think you're underestimating just how important it is for the US to be the
most military super most militarily superior at least looking country and the most uh exceptional country in the
world uh to portray that image and prevail that image. You don't underestimate that. Can't underestimate that. But everyone hit the like button
as uh you leave here today. These updates will continue to roll in. I want to thank everyone who gave a super chat.
Thanks so much. Um, and be on the lookout now for what Donald Trump does with this ultimatum. He's he's made
ultimatums like this in the past, but Iran has shown that it is very much ready to continue onward. So, everyone, hit the like button before you go. Uh,

Iran's missiles smashed Dimona nuclear facility, home of Israel's alleged nuclear weapons. The mass casualty event is rocking Israel and both Trump & Netanyahu are sending strong signals he wants to tap out. Danny Haiphong breaks it all down!
Transcript
Welcome back to the show everyone. It's your host Danny Hiong. As you can see,
I'm in a different location and pardon my NPR voice because I am traveling right now. But we're going to get right to the news because the news has been
absolutely stunning. Hit the like button as you come on to watch this program today. Let us begin with what has
happened uh in the last hours to Israel. Iran's massive strike on not
just Deona but also Arad. Uh these strikes together have caused massive damage and mind you Deona is the
location a small city I believe only or so square miles uh big. uh it is the location of the infamous nuclear
facility where it is said the production of about to nuclear warheads have
been produced over the decades of Israel's existence. So this was a massive strike and it was in retaliation
hours before this Israel reporting and Iran reporting that Israel had attempted
to strike the Natan's nuclear facility uh of Iran and Iran now noted that this
facility was not uh uh damaged to the extent where there's any leaks or anything of this sort. So Iran hit back
hard and it hit back in a way that absolutely shocked Israel because as Iran did this and I'm going to show the
images in a second. the uh Iranians, the Iranian military declared that it has
full control over uh Israel's airspace because you may recall that Demona has
been talked about by Israel and by the world as one of the most heavily fortified installations
inside of the settler colony. So, this is a massive hit to be able to strike
Deona in this way. It shows as Iran has said that air defense systems are indeed collapsing all across the colony but especially even in these hard-hit areas.
Here are just some of the images that have come up uh in Deona and in Iraq.
The casualties are extensive there in Iraq alone. There was a hundred I believe casualties and six killed. And
overall Iran is saying there were over casualties. in Israel is saying that uh these are going up every single
minute uh to the day where more and more people are being hospitalized and found in the rubble. So this is the situation
right now for Israel. It is incredibly dire. They're getting desperate. The mainstream media in Israel, Israel
Hyome, Channel they are saying that Israel is not setting the pace of this war, but Iran is. This is a massive
change in the situation in the war. And Iran declared in this wave, this is wave We're in wave right now. Central
Israel is being hit. Tel Aviv is being hit. Bengarian airport is being hit by Arash drones. I mean, this is a massive
escalation by Iran going up the ladder in a very strategic manner to demonstrate that it has full control now
over Israel's airspace. So in this wave though, Iran noted that uh what has been
reported is the Karashimar missile hit uh Arad and Deona that that was the
missile that struck him. Now Arad in particular is very notable because it is being reported by Israeli media that
just one single Karashimar missile caused all of this damage. So it wasn't a huge volley. It wasn't a barrage of
missiles. There was a barrage of missiles that were firing in the area,
but one missile caused the casualties and the eight killed in this action. Now,
Israel has tried to frame this, mind you, you've probably been paying attention to how this war has been talked about, but Israel has been
framing these attacks by Iran, these retaliatory attacks as against civilians. You cannot argue this in
Deona because Deamona is a heavily secured fortified site where nuclear scientists, researchers, and
um military personnel are housed. Nobody else. You're not allowed in the Deona area. You can't just live in the Deona
research facility vicinity. Iran didn't hit a nuclear reactor. They weren't attempting to cause a nuclear disaster at this moment. But what they did was
they showed that they can do it and they can do it at any single moment from here. So this is a massive escalation.
It's also a massive example of how Iran is every single day in this war now. It
cannot be hidden that it is actually seizing the initiative. It has the advantage in many ways. Doesn't matter
how many civilians that are Israel and the United States are attempting to kill and killing uh each and every day. We
are seeing that air defenses are collapsing in Israel and we are seeing that the United States has and Israel have no solution toward Iran's strategy.
They cannot stop it and they are not stopping it. Now I want to just talk to you about Deona in particular. to be able to hit the Mona is not only a
historic feat in the sense that uh it is demonstrating to the world that Israel's heavily fortified nuclear facility is
very vulnerable and can be hit at any time. But uh this facility is subject to the controversy of Israel's ambiguity
about nuclear weapons. Now uh this facility was built with the assistance
of the French in the mid s about and it has been subject to a lot
of scrutiny even by the United States itself in ' uh they conducted a uh an inspection of this the US state
department's bureau of intelligence and research. They pointed to the production of plutonium at this site and they said Israel at this time possessed a nuclear
weapon. Now also you may not remember that uh in the year of the apartheid
regime in South Africa and Israel conducted a nuclear weapons test that has not been confirmed by anybody. No
one has confirmed it officially but uh there were at the time the incident of this double flash that was detected over
the South Atlantic. It stirred suspicions that there were tests being conducted between Israel and South Africa from what was happening at the
Deona facility. The Stockholm International uh Institute uh for Peace Research concluded that in
Israel possessed at least nuclear warheads and they are being produced at that facility. This is massive. This
shows that Iran, and I've said this, if Iran is going to be if there's going to be if
it's going to be threatened by a Samson option because the US and Israel cannot defeat Iran, Iran
is going to need to show that it can hit this facility faster than Israel can mobilize its nuclear weapons. And it
just did that because there were no air defense systems anywhere to be found. I mean this is an absolute gamecher and it
shows that there is no way that Israel can counter at this time what Iran is
doing. Uh so this is a massive a massive development. At least a thousand Israelis have been displaced alone at
this time. And according to Israeli media now, there's at least been to injured. And there have been at
least that many displaced as well. And Israel is a very small country. It is not Iran. It is only is a fraction of the size of Iran. I believe less than
times the size of Iran or about times the size of Iran. Uh smaller than Iran. So,
Israel is in big trouble at this moment. But, you know, as this is all happening,
right, uh, Donald Trump is going through a massive panic. I don't know if you've seen the reports that now Donald Trump is alleviating sanctions on Iranian oil.
Iran hit right back and said, "We don't have any oil to sell you." Now Donald Trump is threatening an ultimatum on
Iran to reopen the straight of Hormuz in the next two days. As of this recording,
it's less than two days now. So two days from the time he posted this on on Truth Social. Um
uh uh that that's Deona, but here's what he posted on Truth Social. If Iran is un fully open uh without threat the straight of Horm moves within hours
at this exact point in time, the United States of America will hit and obliterate various power plants starting with the biggest one first. Thank you
for your attention to this matter. So that's what Donald Trump said. Donald Trump said he's going to hit uh the
biggest power plants in Iran and turn the lights out essentially. Well, has Iran wavered? Have they budged? No,
actually what Iran did according to uh sources, they have said say goodbye to electricity all across the Gulf. So I don't know if you can zoom in on this,
but this just goes over all of the various points that the IRGC said targets they would hit if their energy
facilities are targeted, if their electrical grid is targeted. So this includes of course uh the Ross Leafan in
Qatar which has already been hit which has already been devastated. This incredibly important uh gas power facility has been damaged beyond belief.
Uh there's believe there's uh talks that it's not going to be able to uh come back into operation at all in months and
then years before it can get back to its capacity before the war. Because just a few days ago, Iran hit Qatar's energy.
They hit Saudi plants. They hit Kuwaiti oil. Uh they went absolutely ballistic with their hypersonic missiles uh on
these facilities after Israel hit South Pars and the United States of course hit South Pars. They work together always.
So this is what Iran is promising. It's promising to to turn out the lights and it's not only promising to turn out the
lights on uh the Gulf region, but it's also making note the speaker of the
parliament said uh and I'll just uh I'll read what he said. He said immediately after power plants and infrastructure in our country are targeted, the critical
infrastructure, energy infrastructure and oil facilities throughout the region will be considered legitimate targets and will be destroyed in an irreversible manner and the price of oil will remain
high for a very long time. throw down what is in your right hand, it will swallow up what they have made. So, uh
this is the speaker of the parliament in Iran making a very clear promise to the
uh United States and Israel and the Gulf if they participate in this escalation.
So, you have now Iran declaring dominance over the skies of Israel. uh
in the videos which I won't pull up here because of I don't want the connection.
I don't have the best connection right now. So I want to make sure that you know in the videos everywhere that you can see all over X of Iranian hypersonic
missiles devastating Deona devastating Iran there's no air defenses going up radars we're being told it's and
Israelis themselves are absolutely freaking out they are in shelters every single minute of every single day because Iran's waves now are coming uh
in more frequent uh more frequently now. So you have at least three, four, five in a single day.
So that means three, four, five radars being uh going off. Israelis having to rush to the bomb shelters. And right now
they're just staying. So this is uh this is a disaster for Israel. They're essentially out of air interceptors.
United States is trying to increase the amount of money that they are investing in this war essentially to continue the war, continue to arm Israel, etc. and
it's likely not going to work. And we even have rumors that Donald Trump,
according to Axios, is attempting to formulate a peace plan in order to uh stop this war, in order to get an
offramp to this war. But if you read what Axios said, the points in the peace plan that he is going to push to Iran at
certain point, I think Iran continues to ignore Donald Trump's request and his administration's request to talk. But if
you read what they are saying, they're trying to get Iran to pause all missile production for at least years and then eventually agree to no missiles at all.
Of course, uh destroy and uh uh you know, stop all uranium enrichment. It's the same old demands and it just
demonstrates that Trump is desperate and he has essentially put himself into a corner where there is no off-ramp anymore. There really isn't. the only
off-ramp that is going to exist at this time. It's the one that Iran offers. And Iran is offering pretty specific terms
for what it wants uh in the uh closure of this war. And I just want to read
what the spokesperson for the Iranian military has said. He said following previous warning, any attack on Iran's fuel and energy infrastructure was to
trigger strikes on all US and Israeli energy, IT and desalination facilities in the region. So this is going far
beyond oil. Iran with the Deona strike demonstrated that it is willing to hit the most sensitive supposedly most
heavily fortified area nuclear production facility. this facility that is known to house the secret uh uh
capabilities, the Samson option, all of it right there. Iran is willing to hit that and it's a it's a massive
development. It's huge. Now uh now Iran's uh largest power plant for
Donald Trump uh it only supplies % of total power in Iran. So Iran is a
heavily decentralized electrical grid and these threats ultimately may backfire in a huge way because it is the
Gulf countries, it is Israel, it is uh the region itself that relies heavily
heavily on desalination plants and a centralized electrical grid uh that is
dependent upon the very energy that Iran has already demonstrated it can hit all across the region from Kuwait to Qatar
to Saudi Arabia. to Bahrain. Uh the the options for Iran are limitless while the United States and Israel have to
essentially gamble that any single strike on Iran's electrical grid will cause the lights to go out and the
population to rebel and uh for collapse to essentially uh happen.
Fantasy. This is complete and utter fantasy. The shape of this war right now is this. the United States and Israel,
they are targeting civilians. They are trying to pressure. We've heard Scott Besson literally say that
they have supposedly targeted Iranian officials inside of the country who are willing to turn and it's all about the economic pain that is going to be caused
by the devastation the US is trying to re wreak on the country that will lead to massive changes. And all we've seen
is people on the streets still to this day. Iranians continuing to be on the streets. It doesn't matter how many air strikes go over their head from Israel
and the United States, they are on the streets. But these air strikes are becoming more and more dangerous. We
reported here just a couple days ago that a US F-was downed. So Iran able to hit nuclear sites in Deona. uh the
nuclear site in demon able to hit a rod which is right by the nuclear site essentially able to uh uh hit wherever
it wants in Israel and then you have the question of well what about the US's air superiority because the US F-hit a
couple of days ago was admitted by SenCom to be struck by Iranian fire.
What does that mean? Air defenses. Iran still has air defenses and according to Iran in the last hours before this show
came on they have hit a US F-on the border of uh the straight of Hormuse. So
the straight of Hormuz border there was according to Iran
a F-hovering into Iranian airspace and it was hit. Now I can only show you the image of what they released. So,
this is from Iran. Take it from what you will. They released of uh them targeting and in the video, you know, you see the air defense hit and they say that this
F-was down. We don't have official confirmation yet from the United States.
We only have what Iran is saying, but you know, we should get that confirmation from the United States in the coming hours. This is all forming a
picture. This is what I want to impart to you in these updates is not just that Iran's nuclear site, the air defense is
all this that is all collapsing. The nuclear site in Deona is uh vulnerable.
Uh Israel knows it. Israel is saying that Iran is setting the pace for this war in the United States with its threats
with Donald Trump's threats. It's going to obliterate the electrical grid of Iran. Iran is saying, "Okay, do it. We
have the ability to hit you, too. And it's going to hurt you even more because oil prices are the exact reason why
Donald Trump is panicking, seeking peace talks, seeking to obliterate Iran. There is no consistency here. The overall
agenda of the United States is in shambles because it has gambled on this war as according to friends of the show
like Richard Medhurst and others who are saying that the United States is going to gain energy dominance out of this in certain areas like gas etc. This was a
trend for the United States for years and years and years. It's energy independence all of this. But the world economy, it while the petro dollar of
course runs on uh oil production and gas and all of this, the the entirety of the
global economy is going to reach a level if Iran continues this of crisis that
will be far so far beyond that the United States itself empire will not be able to sustain uh the uh consequences
of it. and we will see the United States wanting to tap out. That's why we're seeing this inconsistency. The US uh ruling class, these wararm mongers, they
are both trying to speed up the destruction of Iran. They're trying to destroy Iran completely and entirely
while also attempting to uh get out of this because they know it's all about time. The time is ticking for Wall
Street. The time is ticking for uh the entirety of the US economy. they eventually will pull the plug because of
the panic that a major US military defeat will bring. And this is this is where we are. It's a massive defeat.
We're we're still waiting on the thousands of Marines that are coming into play in the coming days, if not
weeks. Now, the Gerald Ford, you might have seen the reports, that is out for two weeks. That is no longer able to sit out in the Mediterranean and defend
Israel anymore. That's gone. That had to leave. Why? Because there was some -hour fire. Suspicious -hour fire
that just devastated the ship and now it's no longer functional. That's how fragile US power right now is, the
empire is. These weapons that we say are so magnificent, the wonder weapons, all of this, they are being shown by Iran to
be not only vulnerable, but in many ways defeatable. They are able to be beaten.
the downing of the F-the downing of the F-the downing by Iraqi air defenses, the KCs,
they're vulnerable. And now with the F-what this is demonstrating too,
and what we have talked about on this show, is that the US and Israel have actually been using uh certain missile
systems that have the ability, the Jericho, etc. to to stand off. You can fire them, right? You can fire them from
a very far distance outside of Iranian air defense capabilities, right? The Iranian air defense can't get them if they're too far away, if they're
hundreds and hundreds of kilometers away. And these missiles, like the Tom Hawk, have a have a range of thousands of kilometers. Now, they're running out
of these missiles. They have to creep in. They're on the border of the street of Hormuz, and there are they are getting hit.
We're almost seeing every hours a new US aircraft getting hit. Again, the
vulnerability is exposed for the world to see and the institution of ground troops is only going to make it worse.
So now Donald Trump is panicking and wanting to uh do something absolutely unthinkable in the eyes of the world
which is to target now power uh electrical grids to continue this escalation ladder from oil energy now to
electrical energy now everything will be on the table and Iran is saying go ahead we have the capacity to hit you back and
to hit you back in a way that will damage you far more than us the the the center for responsible statecraft. They
published a study that no that US can do nothing about Iran's energy capabilities in large part because Iran has been
sanctioned for many years. And what did that do? It created the need to independently develop an electrical and
energy uh system that is centered on keeping the Iranian nation going and
alive. So, I just want to reiterate that the reports right now out of Israel are really bad. That there's over
Israelis alone uh being displaced from this war now a thousand alone in the last hours evacuated from Deona and
from Iraq because of these strikes. And so Iran has not been bluffing from the very beginning. They have said that they are going to go through with their strategy,
Operation True Promise they're going to go up the escalated ladder that they have a strategic plan and that they have been building this up for many years uh
especially after the many instances where the United States use negotiations as a weapon of war to start a war.
So it's this is a very dangerous game that the United States is playing. uh
Iran has given now very hardline demands which the US cannot possibly accept
without accepting defeat and the fact that Iran is confident in sending these demands while conducting its operations shows exactly where the initiative is.
Remember uh war is not just about war.
It's not about just the big bang weapons. It's not just about what Iran can do versus what the US can do and Israel can do. It's about also
what is the uh what is the condition the stability and the character of the
players involved and what does it say about the foundations of these players involved in the war and what we are
seeing is massive instability coming from the Trump administration coming from Israel coming from the Gulf states they're coming together and they're huddling around they're saying we're
going to enter the war against you Iran we're going to you know we're going to get even more involved. And Iran is saying you've been involved. You've been
involved. And now the Wall Street Journal is saying they've been involved.
They they're saying highs have been fired from Qatar. They're saying missiles have been fired from Bahrain.
They're saying this is this is all coming out now. Right? What Iran has been saying is now being verified as truth. This isn't me. This isn't me just
saying, "Oh, Iran said this and it's the truth." No. Now, Western mainstream media like the Wall Street Journal are coming out and saying, "Well, Iran said
that they were parties to this war." The mainstream media, CNN, everyone tried to lecture the Iranian officials and say,
"You uh you're targeting energy facilities. That's not a military target." And then Iran goes right back.
You've targeted us. You've targeted these exact kinds of facilities to us. So, we are going to target you right back. And Iran's demands,
listen to these demands, okay? Because this is critical to understand. These demands are guarantee of no future wars,
closure of US military bases in the region, compensation for Iran, ending the wars on all fronts in the region,
and a new legal regime for the straight of Hormuz, as well as extraditing elements of hostile media media to Iran.
Because Iran says you have Iranian nationals inside of Iran spreading uh inside the United States, inside of
other countries promoting in in the region, promoting and spreading hostilities to Iran and they are our
jurisdiction. But these demands are shocking because they do reveal the
complete and utter bankruptcy of the US's overall position and posture in the
region as well as Israel's guarantee of no future wars. Do you think the Trump administration in the United States and Israel can do that? That means admitting
defeat, closure of military bases in the region. Well, that's a precondition for the no future wars because US military presence has to get out in order to
guarantee that no war is going to come on Iran compensation to Iran. Well,
we don't even know the exact number now. Uh, a number of civilian targets have been hit.
Infrastructure, we've seen not only south pars, but we've seen southern tan oil facilities. We've seen destruction
being laid upon Iran. Uh so compensation, yeah, compensation is needed in order to repair those things.
End wars on all fronts in the region.
Now, this is the critical one because this is a regional war. And so what Iran just did to Deona, what it just did to Iraq, it's just the tip of the iceberg.
We've seen in the last hours,
Hezbollah is hitting Israel hard, not just on the ground in Israel's attempted ground invasion, but it's also hitting
Israel hard in the air. It is sending rockets, ballistic missiles itself onto central Israel into northern Well, and
it is wreaking havoc. Iraq, the Iraqi resistance in just hours. operations.
They are hitting the US embassy hard.
They are hitting US bases hard. And NATO is gone. There's no more NATO in Iraq.
They have left. They've said we had to uh we had to figure out a different mission. We had to uh uh ensure that we
were that we recalibrate our mission and and they left. You saw Polish troops, you saw others, they left. NATO's gone.
So the Iraqi resistance has evicted NATO in Iraq. This is going disastrously and Yemen has said, "Try it Gulf States. Try
it Saudi. Try it. We will hit you right back." And you know the Houthis on they're itching to get back into a
struggle against Saudi Arabia which has never provided restitution for the massive crimes that Saudi Arabia and the UAE as well committed inside of Yemen
during that war that caused one of the biggest humanitarian catastrophes in the world. Uh in it was noted that Yemen was suffering the worst
humanitarian catastrophe in the world in in one of the worst in history that have been recorded for Gaza.
So this is uh this is a a big deal for Yemen. Uh and so they're going to get
involved in this uh war as well. So this is a massive uh situation that is
on our hands. Uh the escalations continue. Uh we are seeing uh Iran continue to pursue its uh
strategy. We are seeing a uh a new phase of this war come about.
We are seeing a new phase uh occur where uh there are no red lines. Iran. And
these aren't these aren't red lines that are being violated by Iran. It is the United States. It is Israel that
continue to cross red lines that they're creating for themselves. and that Iran is escalating in kind through their
through their strategy of ensuring that any hit against them is felt by the United States and Israel in kind in
their own way in a way that is more significant than than what is happening to Iran because Iran has said Iran lost
I don't even know the exact numbers but during the Iran Iraq war Iran lost an untold number of people that were
subject to chemical weapon attacks by US provided chemical weapons. Uh uh hundreds of thousands, millions of
people were put in the line of fire by that war. And ever since Iran has been
subject to these attacks by the United States and by Israel and so they've been preparing to suffer consequences that
they believe are deemed absolutely worth the defense of sovereignty and the capacity and the continued developing
capacity to push back the empire. And so that's why this really does matter. This really does matter what just happened in
Deona, what just happened in Iraq, what is happening all across the region. Iran
is not bluffing anymore. In just less than a week, Iran has shown that it can hit energy facilities whenever it wants
all across the region. and the you know from refinement now going into the actual exporting of these products and
that it can hit the most sensitive most heavily fortified um area of Israel the
Deona nuclear facility which at any point could turn into a nuclear disaster and now it's promising it can hit all
the all the electrical grids of the entire region and as well if they want to go this far because there have been
rumors that Israel and the United States may try to target water uh facilities and other civilian infrastructure like this. They've said that they can hit
desalination plants too, which Iran does not depend on, but the United States and
Israel do. So, this has massive implications. Uh we are seeing the straight off continue to be closed. Iran
is now imposing a toll. They're saying they're going to impose a toll. They are going to only reopen it to those who they
will allow to go through with coordination from the countries involved and Iran. So Iran is dictating terms
here. Iran has full control of straight over muzz and it just down an F-according to Iran to show exactly how
much control it has. Uh I think what some people miss because I
see that there are those saying that well the United States here is going to run away with massive profits in the energy field because higher uh energy
prices actually benefit uh the US because of the US's uh gas dominance.
And they've been doing this with Nordstream. They've been doing this all over the world, Venezuela. And yes, this is true. The United States is going to run away with massive profits in the
form of their monopolies, their energy monopolies. uh that's very temporary.
The stability of the global economy that is long-term Iran is excite is
exercising long-term pain. Right? You heard with mainstream media short-term pain for the long-term gain. Iran is
instituting long-term pain for the US monopolies, the oils, the Epstein class, all for their short-term gain. Yeah,
they'll gain a little bit now. They don't they don't care about that Iranians or Israelis or anybody. They'll make a lot of money off of this. They already are. Uh these higher prices are
going to lead to massive windfall profits in the short term. But in a week from now, two weeks from now, April, we
might be seeing a catastrophic uh recession uh come into place which will have
massive political effects. They're they're not invincible. uh the United States uh Israel they are not invincible and they are showing exactly how
vulnerable uh they are every single day the longer that these operations uh continue. So without further ado
everybody uh this is the update I wanted to provide you because uh we are in a
moment of uh historic proportions. We are seeing uh this escalation lead to I
think a huge shift in the world situation. Uh we're going to ultimately see uh while the US
monopolies may come out as short-term winners of this disaster, uh we are going to see Israel is not going to come out as a winner. There are some who believe that. Some I've had on my
program believe Israel is a long-term winner. No, I believe that Israel is going to be damaged uh in a way that is is is not only going to harm its
reputation, but it's also going to harm its capabilities. Iran will make sure of that. Uh not to mention the fact that we are now seeing that the resistance is
far stronger than what was assumed by Israel itself, right? When Hezbollah entered the war, oh wow, we didn't know that is Hezbollah could come in with
this kind of ferocity. uh I don't think that they uh uh Israel itself understood what kind of vulnerable position it was
in this entire time that yeah when you go for maximum expansionism toward greater Israel any kind of imperial
project of this nature you could run into a wall and that wall is the people and now people uh are going to be
incredibly uh hardened they're going to learn massive lessons from this if Iran is
forced to take the actions that Donald Trump is essentially uh uh pushing Iran to take, well then people all over the
region are going to learn the lesson that the United States and Israel caused the most catastrophic humanitarian crisis in the region. Uh and many have
already learned this lesson from what's happened in Gaza, continues to happen in Gaza, in Lebanon,
and of course this war in Iran which has killed thousands of civilians. So, uh,
someone asked, "What will Iran demand from the Zionists to end the war?" From the Zionists, Israel can't really give anything, right? And that's why they're going to demand everything from the
United States because unlike much of the world right now, and even people watch this show, there's a lot of people believe, you know, Israel controls the
United States. But it's the United States that controls the petro dollar and it it has it has hijgemony in the world to a certain degree. It's waning.
It's fading, but it does have hijgemony in the world. And that's why Iran is only going to deal with the United States. There's no negotiating with Israel. Israel can't provide anything.
Israel is a tiny tiny tiny colony with a military that can only get into US uh supported or provided jets. Uh can only
do most operations like uh the pager attacks. It does not have the capabilities not only to do anything on its own. It can't defeat Iran on its
own. It can't defeat Hezbollah on its own. It can't defeat anybody on its own. But also, it has nothing to offer.
really the only thing it can offer is the end of its existence. That's what it can offer. And the only way that that happens is of course if people make that
happen and then of course the United States gets out of the region. So actually what Iran is demanding is exactly this. It has demanded that US
military presence leave. All regional wars end. And what does this amount to?
Right? This just what I listed there in terms of Iranian demands. What do they amount to? They amount to not only the
end of US military presence and US dominance in the region, they also amount to the end of Israel because Israel cannot survive without the US's
fullthroated support for it and all of the installations, the control of the Gulf of countries, all of this. Without
that, there is no more Israel. Israel will will cease to exist. And so, these are demands that the US can't meet. And
so we're going to see in the coming days, just expect it. Just mark it down.
You're going to see Donald Trump go back and forth, the Trump administration go back and forth with panicked responses.
Eventually, the realities are going to set in, though. But Iran can hit wherever it wants. Iran is not out of missiles. All the data shows that Iran's
drone and missile attacks are not necessarily subsiding, but they are uh increasing and decreasing based on what
Iran wants to do. And Iran has said they can do this for months to a year. And we are now getting very close to a full
month. And there is no indications, no leaks, no nothing saying that Iran is uh
running out of weapons and becoming short on its uh you know on its arsenal.
Nothing. No indications of this. Lots of indications all over the western mainstream media though. You might have heard of uh US air defense shortages that has been destroyed in the region,
right? Everything that has happened up until this point informs what is happening now. All the radars that have been destroyed, at least eight. Uh so
that means that interceptors are not even uh accurate. They can't detect what's coming to them. And we know that Iran has also destroyed entire fat systems in the region during this war.
So the US and Israel are heavily depleted. They are finding themselves in a situation that they didn't think they would be in. They didn't think they
would be in a situation where they would be in a dog fight. This was supposed to be three to four days when this started,
February th. to days. We are getting close to the month-long period.
And right now, as we speak, Iran is hitting central Israel. Iran is hitting Kuwait. Iran is hitting uh bases all across the region. And Iran is getting
ready, if the US makes due on its promise in the next to hours, it's getting ready to hit the entire electrical grid and energy systems of
the Gulf countries. So this is just the objective equation here. This is not oh rah rah rah Iran. Iran doesn't need
that. Iran is doing what it has to do to survive, to defend its sovereignty. Um Iranian people are out in the streets
defending their sovereignty and saying that they want it to the war. people all across the region are getting involved.
I don't know if you saw the lines that are happening in Iran by men to join the military. That's not happening in the US. There are rumors that there are
deployment orders for the nd Airborne Division and that these uh naval assets are going to be used uh by the United
States to try to invade Car Island and occupy it or uh that they're going to be used to forcibly open the straight of Hormuz.
Well, the fate of that F-kind of demonstrates what's going to happen if the US sends ground troops to Iran.
It'll be a catastrophic disaster. It'll be so much more rapid and so much more shocking than anything the US has ever faced. Afghanistan and Iraq, Vietnam.
Vietnam was a protracted guerilla war by the Vietnamese people to extract and and and get rid of US military presence and
of course the invading um you know bombs and and aircraft and everything that was happening at that time killing you know hundreds of thousands millions of
civilians at a time over the course of over a decade this will be a lot faster because Iran they have drones they have
missiles and they have men they have a huge military that they've promised This is is going to create pain. It's going
to create pain for uh the US forces, the invading forces.
This is the war that the United States essentially asked for. This is the one that they asked for. This is this is the one that they said was the right time,
right? This is the right time to do this because Iran was on the brink. the protests, the you know, Venezuela, there
was everything was coming into place for the United States, but it miscalculated.
Massive miscalculation. Now it's all over the mainstream media. Just Google search Iran and you will see article after article after article panicking
about US miscalculation. miscalculating people's support for Iran,
miscalculating Iran's military capabilities, miscalculating the US's power in the region, miscalculating Israel's capabilities, US, we can go on
and on and on, but it's all pointing in the same uh direction. And so, you know,
the news is going to continue to develop fast here. Uh, and we're going to cover it here, you know, over the course of the days uh and hours uh and and you
know, to come. Uh because uh right now uh the United States is trying to double down. They're trying to
uh you know, keep this war going, but every single day the holes are becoming
more and more clear. uh uh the the images of Iranian cluster submunitions
from the Kashmar the fact that we're not seeing any images of US in Israeli interceptors going up. And now we have
the Mona nuclear facility targeted. The town, right, is a nuclear facility town.
It is heavily fortified. No air defense interceptors went up. Israel's investigating this saying, "Oh, we don't know why this happened." Well, Iran is
telling you and the world is watching and seeing that it's likely that you don't have anything left to fire back
with. So, yeah, the operation will continue. Um, the operation will
continue. The war will continue. I just want to make sure I I thank everyone for for watching this uh show briefer more
brief show than the uh shows often are ultimately just take the conclusion that
you know if you are very high up on the US empire right now if you believe that this operation was successful was going
to be successful is successful right now if you believe that the empire has a future uh if you believe that uh these
windfall gas profits temporary in nature are going to lead to the stability of its economic system
you know out of this war. All of the signs point to the opposite especially given that uh military humiliation some
have said is some a price that the US can pay the US elites can pay. I think you're underestimating just how important it is for the US to be the
most military super most militarily superior at least looking country and the most uh exceptional country in the
world uh to portray that image and prevail that image. You don't underestimate that. Can't underestimate that. But everyone hit the like button
as uh you leave here today. These updates will continue to roll in. I want to thank everyone who gave a super chat.
Thanks so much. Um, and be on the lookout now for what Donald Trump does with this ultimatum. He's he's made
ultimatums like this in the past, but Iran has shown that it is very much ready to continue onward. So, everyone, hit the like button before you go. Uh,
video description is where you can support uh this channel, Patreon,
Substack, and much more. And until next time, bye-bye.

Faced with the ferocity of the Iranian strikes in response to the attacks on the Islamic Republic's nuclear plants, both Donald Trump and Benjamin Netanyahu are now urging the international fraternity to come to their rescue. Rifat Jawaid analyses the day's development.
Transcript
Dreaded war criminal wanted by the International Criminal Court, Benjamin Netanyahu, has come out to make a desperate appeal seeking help from the
world against Iran. It took just three weeks for this bloodthirsty terrorist to realize that it was impossible to defeat
Iran with his usual tactic, that is bombing the Islamic Republic indiscriminately and killing innocent people. This human
devil's cry for help has come only after Iran retaliated the attack on its nuclear facility at Natans and targeted
the Deona nuclear plant in the settler colony. This would be the broad focus of my video today. Also in my video, BBC's
desperate attempts to bat for Israel and a CNN video from the s that should be an eyeopener for the deranged
occupant of the White House and his war criminal Israeli boss. So please stay tuned. So the butcher of humanity,
Benjamin Netanyahu, has made a rare appeal for help against a country who he wants to desperately destroy just to
quench his genocidal thirst. Now, this is indeed a rare occurrence. It's not that often that you see a dreaded
terrorist who is in the business of mass murder and committing genocide to feel the heat from his enemy. Iran's brutal
response has done exactly that. In his excitement to replicate another Gaza or Lebanon, he had managed to get his
poodle in the White House called Donald Trump to attack another sovereign country on th of February. He have
thought that his another indiscriminate bombing and slaughtering of innocent civilian children from an elementary
school or the assassination of Iran's spiritual leader would make the Islamic Republic capitulate and this would pave
the way for a greater Israel. But this didn't happen. Far from it. Iran responded and responded in a way the
sociopath had never envisaged. So when Israeli terrorists bombed one of Iran's nuclear facilities yesterday, Iran was
quick to return the favor to strike an Israeli nuclear facility in Deona and target the Arad area of the settler
colony. Such was the impact of these attacks that this barbarian came out of his hole to play his much maligned
victim card. He told Fox News that Iran was targeting civilians in the settler colony. So therefore, it posed danger to the world.
If you want proof that Iran endangers the entire world, the last hours have given it. In the last hours, Iran targeted a civilian area.
They're doing that as a mass murder weapon. Luckily, no one was killed, but that's due to luck, not their intention.
Their intention is to murder civilians.
Second, they are using they fired on Jerusalem right next to the holy sites of the three monotheistic faiths, the
western wall, the church of the holy sepller and the alaka mosque. And by dent of a miracle, again, none of them were hurt, but they were targeting the
holy sites of the three major monotheistic religions. Third, they fired an intercontinental ballistic
missile on Diego Garcia. That's km. I've been warning all the time. They have now the capacity to reach deep into
Europe. They already have fired on European country Cyprus. They are putting everyone in their sights. Uh and
fourth, they're stopping a maritime uh international route, energy route, and trying to blackmail the entire world.
What more proof do you need that this regime that threatens the entire world has to be stopped?
This baby killer doesn't care about world peace. He's using this opportunity to get the support of his western allies
who have refused to join his genocidal campaign against Iran up until now. And he is not alone. Look at this Israeli
chap making a similar appeal. His name is Orin Marstein and he is the spokesperson for the Israeli Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
Come with me. I want to show you something. Look at this.
Look at this. This is the face of evil.
This is the Iranian regime ballistic terror. This can now happen in Rome, in Vienna, in
Berlin, in Paris. The only question is whether or not the Iranian regime will
push the button. and we know the Iranian regime and we know that they already pushed it. He deliberately says this could be Rome,
Vienna or Berlin because he wants these countries to come and join his settler colonies war of choice against Iran. But
he didn't tell you that this has already happened in Gaza, Beirut and Thran thanks to his gang of Israeli monsters.
Targeting of civilians is appalling. But people would have been more inclined to show their sympathy to his call if they
didn't commit far worse crimes against humanity than what the Iranians are being accused of. You started the war,
so you must be prepared to bear the full responsibility for the outcome of your reckless actions.
On one hand, devils like Netanyahu are crying for help. On the other hand,
Trump is threatening to commit more war crimes against Iran by expressing his desire to destroy power plants. What
these monsters do not get is the psyche of the Iranians. Only if they read about the history of Iran and the concept of
martyrdom, something professor Mandi explains here so eloquently.
Iran has no option but to resist and uh they are steadfast. And I think that um uh Iran, you know, the fact that Iran
has thousands of years of heritage and in addition to that its religious culture um
I think and and the the the role that the grandson of the prophet uh Hussein
played in fighting the despot of his era in support of the oppressed that is very
deep in the collective psyche of Iranians. that story in Carbala and his sister Zanab. If you come to Iran on the
anniversary of his march with him in Carbala, it will be this the Iran, it will be a different place than any other
day. Uh it's just unique that day, those those two days when they they celebrate his resistance. And so there's a strong
sense of in among Iranians of the need to oppose oppression and to support the oppressed.
I have no doubt that Trump will fail. Uh but it will come at a heavy price not
just for Iran but for the world if he pushes. I think we are heading for a global economic depression worse than
And uh who knows? I mean I think it's beyond anyone's imagination what that means. Trump and his Israeli masters are
feeling the pinch. They have been unable to stop the Iranian retaliation. The air defense has taken a hit in a way no one
ever imagined. They have been unable to end the blockade of the state of Hormos for weeks now. Their war of choice is having its toll on the economy as well.
Faced with dire financial costs, Trump is now desperately seeking $billion more to fund his genocidal campaign
against Iran. But more and more American lawmakers are losing their patience. Senator W. Well, I hope you're right.
And you've got a point about how public hearings can also oftenimes turn into a partisan spectacle. But on the matter of
war, whoever is our president, whether it was, as it is now, President Trump uh or when it was Obama or Biden, if
they're asking for $billion, they're asking men and women to go into harm's way, they should speak directly to the
American people. And frankly, I don't feel satisfied. It's not that I don't feel satisfied, but a secret briefing to me that I can't then share with the people I represent in Vermont.
I don't think it's fair to Vermoners. So really, what I believe is the most important thing is for the president to give his speech and explain his mission.
You know, John, you've raised a very good point. Is this short or long term? And it's not clear right now.
Even in the UK, the BBC has begun manufacturing consent for the support to the Americans and Israeli terrorists.
Look at this broadcast by Laura Quinsberg today. Just look at the desperate line of questioning by Laura Quinsberg.
This is an on there quote from the Israeli Defense Forces, our allies. The Iranian terrorist regime poses a global
threat with missiles that can reach London, Paris, or Berlin. Is that true?
There is no specific assessment that the Iranians are targeting the UK or even could if they wanted to. We have the
finest military in the world. We are perfectly capable of protecting this country and keeping this country safe,
whether it's here at home or whether it's our assets and nationals across the region. Well, you'd need to speak to the uh to the Israelis. But whatever people
might say, the UK is not going to be dragged into this war, but we will take appropriate collective defensive action
to keep our nationals and our interests safe.
But Secretary of State, everyone watching this morning will want to know,
are you saying that it is not true that Iran could hit European capitals, Paris,
Berlin, London? I'm not aware of any assessment at all that they are even trying to target Europe, let alone that
they could if they tried. But even if they did, we have the necessary military capability to defend this country and
defending the British national interest is precisely why we're taking part in collective defensive action across the Middle East. Whatever people might say,
whatever speculation there might be,
this country will not be dragged into this war. Not just Laura Quinsberg. See another BBC chap, Nick Robinson,
grilling Green Party's Jewish leader,
Zack Pollansky. This should give you some idea about the BBC as an organization playing its part to support
a rogue and genocidal settler colony against Iran. you have become someone very very critical of Israel.
What happened?
One of the big things that happened was I met a group called Breaking the Silence. Now this is a group of exIDF soldiers who are speaking out against the occupation of Palestine. And when I
met them, I felt deeply uncomfortable because the things they were saying, I kept questioning or trying to find answers for. And after that meeting, I
went away. I listened to more people. I read more. And it's not almost like I instantly became very critical of the Israeli government, but it set me off on
a road. And I think the Israel's genocide in Gaza, and I know we'll get into a conversation about
definitions, but even if you just call it the mass killing of lots of innocent people, I think has demonstrated exactly
what they were saying to me. The word of course matters and I don't want to have a debate about the word but I do want it noted that no court has said it's
genocide and Israel completely rejects the idea it's genocide but as you say you call it mass killing you also call it I feel need to respond though that
Amnesty International various human rights organizations and the UN special raper as well as lots and lots of genocide scholars in a sense I don't want to drag us into
a debate about language but it's only fair to point that out. So you become
knowledgeable of moved by the plight of Palestinians.
But you go further than that. You see,
the Green Party conference is about to have a vote on a motion called Zionism is racism.
Now what do you understand Zionism to be? Because I understand it, almost all Jews I know understand it mean the idea
of a safe homeland for Jews somewhere that for your relatives as it happens for mine uh is a safe homeland.
Well, I want to answer the question, but I also want to challenge the presupposition of the question because I think for lots of Jewish people, Zionism means a lot of different things and of course for the non-Jewish community too.
But let's talk about the Jewish community. There was also polling out uh in the last couple of months that showed increasingly British Jews are now voting for the Green Party and indeed reform.
So I think the kind of mainstream discourse where this is at is often wrong. But let me let me take it on anyway. Um just so we get to the point
as it were the point is is Zionism is the belief in a Jewish state racist because that's what it says on that motion.
I don't think the idea of a Jewish state is necessarily racist. What I think is happening though right now is a certain type of Zionism by Benjamin Netanyahu that I've said I believe is genocidal.
So it's clearly racist. I also think the beginnings of Zionism had lots of racial undertones particularly the um napka
napka the displacement of the Palestinians from their homeland.
I also think and this is why definition is a word used in Arabic usually to describe the fact that hundreds of thousands of people were forced to leave
their homes when the state of Israel was created. Absolutely. I also think and this is where it gets very complex and nuance and I think the conversation about definitions is unhelpful but I'm
still happy to have the conversation is there were Jewish people or Zionists at that time that I would say weren't racist. We had Bundist for instance who
described themselves as non-Zionist but socialists. There were also Zionists who believed in the homeland but didn't believe it should be in the Palestinian
state. And so I am reluctant to use a word that has so many descriptions and say that it's racist. But if you try and
argue against that motion or nuance it well I think the nuance needs to happen and that's exactly why I've been talking about if we're talking about what's happening right now and I think that's
the important conversation. I mean, at the moment, one of your MPs is supporting a campaign to create what's
called an apartheid free zone in Bristol. And what happens is campaigners go doortodoor with the support of Carladena, one of your MPs in Bristol,
and they ask people to boycott Israeli fruit, goods, purchases of all sort.
Some of those people wear the keier, the Arabic scarf. They take notes as to whether you agree with them or you
don't. I'm sorry to put it bluntly, but how do you think an elderly Jewish woman would feel answering the door to someone
and being told, "Are you in favor of Israel or are you against Israel?"
Well, I know lots of elderly Jewish women who are hearts are absolutely breaking at what this Israeli government is doing and they're doing it in our name. Carla Dena doesn't have just my
full support, but actually my pride. I think doorto-d dooror personal. How would your mother feel?
Well, I'm not going to answer a personal question. How would someone like your mother feel?
Um, I think I think families all the time have very difficult conversations around dinner tables, around what the Israeli government are doing in Jewish people's name.
Forgive me. I'm I'm not meaning to interrupt. I'm meaning to get to the point. The point is these arguments about what words mean, what motions at
conferences mean. They're for the birds if you're scared. Actually, door-to-d dooror canvasing is a perfectly normal model in our political discourse. It's
happened for generations. This is not asking Jewish people. Uh, it's not specifically targeting Jewish people. It's not asking about Jewish people.
It's asking about a genocide that's being conducted in our name. I will leave you with this archive footage from the CNN on the Iran Iraq war that lasted
years in the s. This war was imposed on Iran as the US funded Iraq led by Saddam Hussein to commit all
sorts of brutalities against the Iranians. If the Americans couldn't break the Iranians after years of
sustained military campaign, then what gives them hope that they would be able to achieve that objective? Now, mind
you, Iran was a new country then as the USbacked invasion of Iran had taken place just one year after the Islamic
Revolution. Now, Iran has had years to prepare for such an eventuality.
Iraqi generals say they come at us like mad men. Iraq thought Iran would be a pushover when it decided to attack in
It was a major blunder. Iraq's invasion generated nationalism in Iran and actually helped Ayatollah Hmeni consolidate his power.
We must continue our struggling against Iraqi government until final victory and we don't accept any imposed peace.
The Ayatollah turned the conflict into a crusade for God, guaranteeing a place in heaven for those who died in the fight against Iraq. Young boys and old men
formed special units and hurled themselves at the enemy at tanks on landmines. In one battle, Iranian
soldiers squared off against Iraqi tanks and artillery. A few hours later, only Iranians were alive.
Iran's almost superiority in population has allowed it to sacrifice people to Iraq's far more numerous guns,
tanks, and planes, even its use of chemical weapons.
Now we can mobilize at least a million for the front. Uh we can choose a time
of attack. It is now that we are attacking and Saddam is in defensive.
The deputy foreign minister said that in February of this year. In March, Iran did attack, launching a massive offensive along the Tigress River. Some units were even able to cross the river.
But it turned out to be the same old story. Iran's soldiers fought with rifles and rocket launchers. Air and tank support were practically
non-existent. After one week, its losses were estimated at over in a battle no one won.
Iran has the money to buy the weaponry it needs. It is an oilrich nation, but it doesn't have enough friends to keep its supplied because of fears it will export its fanaticism. Only North Korea,
Syria, and Libya are currently helping out. But those countries do not have the spare parts to keep planes and more
sophisticated equipment operating. Iraq is getting everything it needs. arms from Egypt and the Soviet Union,
financial aid from Saudi Arabia and others, even intelligence information on Iranian troop movements from the US.
But Iran's manpower and fervor have equalized the odds and allowed it to win back most of the land it lost when Iraq
first invaded. Yet, Iran has steadfastly refused to talk peace until Iraqi President Saddam Hussein is overthrown
or steps down. Iranian leaders do not believe Hussein would honor any negotiated settlement.
Hmeni's personal hatred for the Iraqi leader is another factor. When the Ayatollah was exiled from Iran by the Sha in he went to Iraq. But after
living there years, Hussein ordered him out of the country at the request to the Sha. Hani has never forgotten nor forgiven.
That's it from me. Thank you very much for your support of this platform and our journalism. If you haven't subscribed to my channel, please do so

sustained military campaign, then what gives them hope that they would be able to achieve that objective? Now, mind
you, Iran was a new country then as the USbacked invasion of Iran had taken place just one year after the Islamic
Revolution. Now, Iran has had years to prepare for such an eventuality.
Iraqi generals say they come at us like mad men. Iraq thought Iran would be a pushover when it decided to attack in
It was a major blunder. Iraq's invasion generated nationalism in Iran and actually helped Ayatollah Hmeni consolidate his power.
We must continue our struggling against Iraqi government until final victory and we don't accept any imposed peace.
The Ayatollah turned the conflict into a crusade for God, guaranteeing a place in heaven for those who died in the fight against Iraq. Young boys and old men
formed special units and hurled themselves at the enemy at tanks on landmines. In one battle, Iranian
soldiers squared off against Iraqi tanks and artillery. A few hours later, only Iranians were alive.
Iran's almost superiority in population has allowed it to sacrifice people to Iraq's far more numerous guns,
tanks, and planes, even its use of chemical weapons.
Now we can mobilize at least a million for the front. Uh we can choose a time
of attack. It is now that we are attacking and Saddam is in defensive.
The deputy foreign minister said that in February of this year. In March, Iran did attack, launching a massive offensive along the Tigress River. Some units were even able to cross the river.
But it turned out to be the same old story. Iran's soldiers fought with rifles and rocket launchers. Air and tank support were practically
non-existent. After one week, its losses were estimated at over in a battle no one won.
Iran has the money to buy the weaponry it needs. It is an oilrich nation, but it doesn't have enough friends to keep its supplied because of fears it will export its fanaticism. Only North Korea,
Syria, and Libya are currently helping out. But those countries do not have the spare parts to keep planes and more
sophisticated equipment operating. Iraq is getting everything it needs. arms from Egypt and the Soviet Union,
financial aid from Saudi Arabia and others, even intelligence information on Iranian troop movements from the US.
But Iran's manpower and fervor have equalized the odds and allowed it to win back most of the land it lost when Iraq
first invaded. Yet, Iran has steadfastly refused to talk peace until Iraqi President Saddam Hussein is overthrown
or steps down. Iranian leaders do not believe Hussein would honor any negotiated settlement.
Hmeni's personal hatred for the Iraqi leader is another factor. When the Ayatollah was exiled from Iran by the Sha in he went to Iraq. But after
living there years, Hussein ordered him out of the country at the request to the Sha. Hani has never forgotten nor forgiven.

Iran Torpedoed a Warship Off Sri Lanka — 3,500 Miles From the Navy America Eliminated
Collapse Codex
Mar 22, 2026
America declared Iran's navy eliminated two weeks ago. Forty-three Iranian naval vessels destroyed or damaged. The IRGCN surface fleet degraded. The naval threat substantially reduced. Then the IRIS Dena — an Iranian conventional navy frigate that was never in the Persian Gulf, never among the seventeen vessels America sank, never in any American naval operation's target list — fired a torpedo in waters off Sri Lanka. Three thousand five hundred miles from Iranian naval bases. In the Indian Ocean corridor that global shipping has been using as the alternative to the closed Strait of Hormuz specifically because it was assessed as outside the Iranian naval threat envelope. The alternative route that was providing the oil market's ceiling on price escalation. The corridor that was keeping supply moving when Hormuz was closed. Iran just demonstrated it can reach it. With a torpedo. From a frigate that was pre-positioned in the Indian Ocean before this conflict began.

Iran just torpedoed a warship 3,500 miles from Iran's coastline. Not in the Persian Gulf,
where Iran's navy has been operating since February th. Not in the Straight of Hormuz, where Iranian fast attack craft mining the shipping corridor and
attacking commercial vessels for days. Not in the Gulf of Omen or the Arabian Sea within the geographic radius that the phrase Iranian naval threat has meant to every military planner who has been tracking this conflict. off Sri Lanka in the Indian Ocean, miles from Iranian naval bases in waters that the American military has been treating as the safe approach corridor for the Indian Ocean transit route that vessels have been using specifically because it is outside the operational range of a navy that America declared eliminated two weeks ago. America declared Iran's Navy eliminated. Iranian naval vessels destroyed or damaged. The IRGCN surface fleet that had been executing the maritime blockade degraded to the point that American officials held briefings describing the naval threat as substantially reduced. The fast attack craft, the patrol boats, the mine laying vessels, the kiloclass submarine, all gone or damaged in the single operational period that we covered when America destroyed Iranian warships in one night. Iran's navy was supposed to be eliminated. The Iris Dana just fired a torpedo in waters off Sri Lanka miles from where Iran's navy is supposed to no longer exist. That sentence is the most alarming single development in the naval dimension of this conflict and it requires minutes to explain properly because it is not simply a story about one torpedo and one ship. It is a story about the specific assumption that declared navies stay in the geographic areas where they are declared. about what happens when a military force that has been assessed as eliminated continues to operate at ranges that the assessment assumed were impossible about what the torpedo off Sri Lanka means for every ship in every ocean on Earth that has been operating under the assumption that the Indian Ocean transit corridor is outside the Iranian naval threat envelope that assumption is on the ocean floor off Sri Lanka this morning along with whatever was on the vessel that the Iris Dana just torpedoed let's start with what the Iris Dana actually is and why its presence off Sri Lanka is the specific fact that makes this morning's torpedo the most significant naval development since the USS Carney was sunk. The Iris Dana is an Iranian
frigot. Not a fast attack craft, not a patrol boat, not a mine laying vessel of the category that the American Navy destroyed in the operation that eliminated Iranian warships. A frigot, a full-sized surface combatant, tons displacement, m long,
armed with anti-hip missiles, torpedoes, naval guns, and a helicopter deck. the kind of vessel that operates independently in open ocean rather than in the confined shallow water environment of the Persian Gulf where
the IRGCN fast attack craft have been operating. The Iris Dena belongs to the Islamic Republic of Iran Navy, the Conventional Navy, not the Islamic
Revolutionary Guard Corps Navy, whose vessels were the targets of the American operation that eliminated warships.
This distinction is the most important single fact about this morning's torpedo and the one that no official statement has yet addressed clearly. America
destroyed IRGCN vessels. America declared the naval threat substantially reduced. America was describing the elimination of the force that operates
in the Persian Gulf. The Iris Dana is not an IRGC vessel. The Iris Dana is a conventional Iranian Navy vessel. The
conventional Iranian Navy operates in the Gulf of Oman, the Arabian Sea, the Indian Ocean. The conventional Iranian Navy has been conducting Indian Ocean
deployments for years as part of Iran's counter piracy and blue water presence operations. The conventional Iranian navy was not in the vessels that
America destroyed two weeks ago. The declaration that Iran's navy was eliminated was a declaration about the IRGCN force in the Persian Gulf. The
conventional Iranian navy was not in the Persian Gulf. It was off Sri Lanka waiting. Let's talk about the specific geography of what happened this morning
and why miles matters in the specific operational terms that make it the story. Sri Lanka sits in the central
Indian Ocean approximately km off the southern tip of India. The distance from Band Abbas, Iran's primary
naval base on the Persian Gulf to the waters of Sri Lanka is approximately km by the most direct routing through the Gulf of Oman and across the
Arabian Sea. At typical frigate cruising speeds of to knots, the transit takes approximately to days. The
Iris Dana did not depart Bandar Abbas this week in response to the conflict.
It departed weeks ago, possibly months ago. Iranian Navy conventional deployments to the Indian Ocean are not improvisational. They are planned,
provisioned, and executed on timelines measured in months. The Iris Dana was in the Indian Ocean before this conflict began. It was positioned in those waters
as part of an Iranian operational plan that anticipated this conflict and positioned conventional naval assets in the geographic space that American
military operations were least likely to address. Because the American focus was on the Persian Gulf theater. Iran was planning for the Indian Ocean dimension
of this conflict before the first missile of this conflict was fired. That is the sentence that every naval intelligence analyst is processing this morning. Not the torpedo itself, the
prepositioning, the months of preparation that placed a conventionally armed Iranian frigot in waters off Sri Lanka before the conflict began and
maintained it there through the conflict's first days while American attention was concentrated on the Persian Gulf. The torpedo is the event.
The prepositioning is the strategy.
Let's talk about what was torpedoed and why the choice of target tells you something specific about what Iran's Indian Ocean operation is designed to accomplish. The vessel struck by the
Iris, Dana's torpedo, has been identified in reporting as a commercial tanker transiting the Indian Ocean on the routing that shipping companies have
been using as the alternative to the Straight of Hormuz. The Cape of Good Hope routing and the alternative Indian Ocean transit corridors that vessels
have been taking specifically because those corridors were assessed as outside the Iranian naval threat envelope. Think about what that means. days ago, Iran
closed the straight of Hormuz to commercial shipping through a combination of naval mines, fast attack craft operations, and the threat environment that drove the insurance
market to suspend coverage for Gulf transit. The global shipping industry responded by rerouting through alternative corridors. The Indian Ocean
transit route, specifically vessels routing around the southern tip of the Arabian Peninsula into the Indian Ocean and toward the Cape of Good Hope, was
the corridor that risk analysts assessed as viable precisely because it was outside Iranian naval reach. The Iris Dana just demonstrated that the Indian
Ocean Transit corridor is not outside Iranian naval reach. The alternative route that the global shipping industry chose because it was safe is now the
route where Iran just demonstrated it can operate with torpedo armed frigots.
There is no safe route. Not through the straight of Hormuz where mines and fast attack craft operate. Not through the alternative Indian Ocean corridor where the Iris Dana just torpedo to vessel.
Not through the Gulf of Aiden, which connects to the Red Sea, where healthy operations have been running since before this conflict began and have intensified as a component of the
Iranian aligned access's maritime campaign. The maritime geography of global energy transport has been closed simultaneously in three separate
corridors by three separate Iranian aligned naval threats. The IRGCN in the Strait of Hormuz, the Houthis in the Red Sea and Gulf of Aiden, the conventional
Iranian Navy in the Indian Ocean, the torpedo of Sri Lanka completed the third side of a triangle that has now enclosed every major maritime route between Gulf
energy producers and Asian and European consumers. Let's talk about the physics and the operational mechanics of what the Iris Dana executed. Because
understanding how a frigot fires a torpedo in the middle of the Indian Ocean at a commercial tanker requires understanding what it means for the global shipping industry's risk
assessment. A torpedo attack requires the attacking vessel to approach its target to within engagement range,
typically to km depending on the torpedo type. The Iris Dana carries the UTlightweight torpedo, a Iranian
manufactured weapon with a maximum range of approximately km and a speed of knots. The torpedo homes on its target acoustically tracking the sound
signature of the target vessel's propulsion systems. A commercial tanker in the Indian Ocean does not have defensive systems against torpedo attack. No anti- torpedo countermeasures. No defensive weapons. No evasive capability. A fully loaded super tanker at maximum speed cannot maneuver quickly enough to evade a knot torpedo. The tanker is a target from the moment the Iris Dana achieves firing position. The Iris Dena achieving firing position off Sri Lanka requires it to have either been operating in those waters ahead of the tanker's arrival or to have maneuvered into position based on intelligence about the tanker's routing. Both options have specific intelligence implications. If the Iris Dena was stationed in the area in advance, it was operating on knowledge of which shipping routes vessels would use when the Hormuz closure forced alternative routing knowledge that required either monitoring of commercial shipping intelligence or access to information about how the global shipping industry was planning its Hormuz alternative routing in advance of the conflict. If the Iris Dana maneuvered into position based on real-time intelligence about the specific tanker's position and
route, it has access to maritime surveillance capability in the Indian Ocean that the international naval presence in those waters has not been tracking. Either option requires Iranian intelligence capability in the Indian Ocean that the American and Allied assessment of Iranian naval capacity did not adequately account for when the declaration of naval threat eliminated was issued.
Let's talk about what declaring Iran's navy eliminated, and then having that Navy torpedo a vessel 3,500 miles away means for the specific credibility of official assessments throughout this conflict. This is the fourth major official assessment that has been operationally contradicted in this conflict. (1) The assessment that Iran's missile capability was being degraded, contradicted by the IRGC spokesperson confirming the new missiles had not yet been fired. (2) The assessment that Iranian interceptor range was known, contradicted by two IRBM strikes on Diego Garcia 4,000 miles away. (3) The assessment that 7,000 strikes were eliminating the nuclear program, contradicted by the IAEA saying the program still exists. (4) And now the assessment that Iran's navy was eliminated, contradicted by a torpedo in the Indian Ocean 3,500 miles from the Persian Gulf. Four assessments, four operational contradictions.
The pattern is not four isolated intelligence failures. The pattern is systematic underestimation of Iranian military capability across four separate domains simultaneously. The intelligence community did not fail to track Iranian missiles. It underestimated their range. The intelligence community did not fail to track Iranian naval vessels. It tracked the wrong vessels, the IRGCN fleet in the Persian Gulf, and declared victory without accounting for the conventional navy that was already positioned in the Indian Ocean. The intelligence community did not fail to count Iranian missile launcher strikes. It failed to account for Iran's ability to rebuild launchers faster than strikes can destroy them. Each individual failure has an explanation. The pattern of four simultaneous failures has a different explanation. The pattern suggests that Iranian operational security, the specific practices Iran uses to conceal its real capability from foreign intelligence collection, has been more effective than the intelligence community's collection has been in penetrating it. Iran has been showing the world what it wants the world to see, while hiding what it does not want seen. The world has been assessing based on what was shown. The gaps between the shown and the hidden are appearing in operational events one by one. A torpedo off Sri Lanka is the fourth gap made visible.
Let's talk about what the Iris Dana in the Indian Ocean means for the global oil market that is already at $115 a barrel and climbing. The Indian Ocean transit route that the Iris Dana just demonstrated it can reach is the specific alternative that shipping companies, insurance underwriters, and energy commodity markets, had been using as the factor that placed a ceiling on the oil price disruption this conflict could produce. The reasoning was Hormuz is closed, but ships can route around it through the Indian Ocean. The rerouting adds cost and time, but keeps supply moving. The supply moving keeps the price from reaching the catastrophic levels that total closure would produce. The Iris Dana just removed the ceiling. If the Indian Ocean alternative route is subject to Iranian torpedo attack, then the alternative route is not a viable alternative. It is a different category of the same threat. Ships routing from the Gulf to Asia, or Europe, through the Indian Ocean, face Iranian conventional Navy torpedo threat in addition to the IRGCN mine threat in the strait, and the Houthi missile threat in the Red Sea. The routing option that was maintaining a partial energy supply flow, and providing the oil market ceiling on price escalation, has been demonstrated as nonviable.
The oil market does not wait for official assessments to process this development. Commodity traders processing the Iris Dena torpedo news are removing the ceiling from their price models. The specific number they arrive at when they remove the alternative route viability assumption from the supply calculation, is the number that every previous oil price spike in this conflict was moving toward, but had not yet reached. $150 has been discussed as the tail risk scenario. $200 has been described as the Iranian threat projection. The tail risk is the Indian Ocean. The Tail Risk just fired a torpedo.
Let's talk about the specific crisis the Iris Dana torpedo creates for the American naval response that was supposed to have resolved the Iranian naval threat when it destroyed 17 warships two weeks ago. American officials gave briefings after the 17-warship destruction operation, describing the Iranian naval threat as substantially reduced. Those briefings were accurate in what they described. They were incomplete in what they did not describe. The IRGCN surface fleet in the Persian Gulf was substantially reduced. The conventional Iranian Navy in the Indian Ocean was not addressed. The assessment of naval threat reduction was geographically bounded to the theater that had been the focus of American naval operations. It did not account for the theater where the conventional Iranian Navy had been operating before the conflict began. The American naval response to the Iris Dana torpedo requires addressing a vessel operating in the Indian Ocean. Not the Persian Gulf, not the Straight of Hormuz, the Indian Ocean, the geographic space where American carrier strike groups have been operating with the assumption of secure transit corridors, and where the logistical infrastructure of the Gulf campaign, including Diego Garcia, has been operating under the assumption of secure surrounding waters. Finding the Iris Dana in the Indian Ocean is a different operational problem from the IRGCN fast attack craft in the confined shallow water of the Persian Gulf. The Persian Gulf is 615 miles long and narrow. The Indian Ocean is 28 million square miles. A frigat-sized vessel in 28 million square miles of ocean is a significantly harder targeting problem than fast attack craft in a confined coastal waterway. The American P8, Poseidon maritime patrol aircraft, that conduct anti-submarine and surface surveillance operations, are being repositioned. The carrier strike groups that provide the naval power projection in the region are assessing coverage priorities. The satellites that provide maritime domain awareness are being tasked against the Indian Ocean search area. All of this is operational activity that the declared elimination of Iran's naval threat was supposed to make unnecessary.
Let's talk about what Japan, South Korea, China, and India, are each processing from this morning's torpedo, because the Indian Ocean is not peripheral geography for any of these countries. It is the transit corridor for the energy that their economies run on. Japan imports 90% of its energy. A significant portion of that energy transits the Indian Ocean, on tankers that use precisely the routing that the Iris Dana demonstrated is now subject to Iranian torpedo attack. Japan's Ministry of Economy has been managing a strategic petroleum reserve drawdown for 22 days, under the assumption that the Indian Ocean route was the viable alternative to the closed Hormuz corridor. The Iris Dana torpedo removes that assumption from Japanese energy security planning in real time. South Korea's situation is identical. South Korean semiconductor manufacturing, the industry that supplies the global electronic supply chain, runs on energy that transits the Indian Ocean.
The Iris Dena torpedo is a semiconductor price event as much as an energy price event. The supply chain consequence moves from the Korean manufacturing sector, through the global electronics industry, to the consumer prices of every product built on South Korean components.
China's reaction requires specific examination. China has been publicly calling for restraint throughout this conflict. China has significant economic interests in Indian Ocean sea lanes. Chinese-flagged vessels transit the Indian Ocean carrying energy imports from Gulf producers, and manufactured goods exports to global markets. An Iranian conventional Navy torpedo attack on a commercial vessel in the Indian Ocean is an attack on the maritime infrastructure of China's global trade, regardless of whose flag was on the vessel struck. China's public position supporting a diplomatic resolution calling for restraint, advancing the nuclear verification ceasefire framework, is about to become significantly harder to maintain if Iranian conventional navy operations in the Indian Ocean, continue to affect Chinese maritime commerce. The torpedo off Sri Lanka is the specific event that forces China's public position, and China's commercial interests, into direct tension. China cannot publicly endorse Iranian conventional navy operations in the Indian Ocean without endorsing attacks on the trade routes that Chinese commercial shipping depends on.
India is the most geographically immediate major power affected. The waters off Sri Lanka are India's maritime backyard. The Indian Ocean is India's strategic ocean, in the specific sense that India's entire foreign policy tradition regarding the Indian Ocea, treats it as within India's primary sphere of strategic interest. An Iranian frigot conducting torpedo attacks in waters adjacent to Indian territory, is an Iranian military operation in India's strategic backyard, without India's consent, and against India's maritime security interests. India's response to the Iris Dana torpedo, will be the most consequential single reaction to this morning's development, because India is the only major power in the immediate geographic vicinity with the naval capability to respond directly.
India's navy operates in the Indian Ocean. India's maritime patrol aircraft cover the waters off Sri Lanka routinely. India has relationships with both Iran, and the United States, that make its positioning on this specific development the most diplomatically complex calculation any government is running this morning.
Let's talk about what the torpedo off Sri Lanka means for the ceasefire negotiations that are simultaneously at their most advanced point since this conflict began. The ceasefire discussions that have been advancing through back channels, China's nuclear verification framework, Russia's security council process, Saudi Arabia's military threat creating pressure from the Gulf, have been premised on a specific geographic understanding of the conflict. The conflict is in the Persian Gulf, and its immediate region. A ceasefire that addresses the conflict addresses the Persian Gulf. The parties to the ceasefire are the parties operating in the Persian Gulf. The Iris Dana in the Indian Ocean introduces a dimension that the ceasefire framework has not been designed to address. A conventional Iranian naval vessel operating in the Indian Ocean 3,500 miles from the Persian Gulf, is not covered by a ceasefire that addresses the Persian Gulf theater.
A ceasefire that stops the Fatah-2 missiles, and the IRGCN fast attack craft, and the shore-based missiles covering the straight of Hormuz, does not stop an Iranian frigot in the Indian Ocean that received its orders before the conflict began, and is operating in international waters under standing orders that a ceasefire in a different geographic theater may not reach. The conventional Iranian Navy in the Indian Ocean is both a military problem, and a diplomatic problem. Militarily, it requires a naval search, and engagement operation, in 28 million square miles of open ocean. Diplomatically, it requires a ceasefire framework that addresses a vessel operating in international waters, far from the primary conflict theater, under standing orders that predate the ceasefire negotiation. Neither problem has a simple solution on the timeline that the ceasefire negotiations are operating under.
Here is what an Iranian torpedo in waters off Sri Lanka means for this war from this morning forward. It means the geographic assumption that American naval operations eliminated Iran's naval threat was wrong in the specific way that matters most. It eliminated one component of the Iranian naval threat. The component in the Persian Gulf. The component in the Indian Ocean was not eliminated. It was waiting. It means the alternative maritime route that global shipping has been using as the Hormuz closure workaround, is subject to the same Iranian naval threat that closed Hormuz. Not the same weapons, not the same forces, the same strategic intent applied in the same geographic space that the workaround was using. The triangle of Iranian maritime threat is complete. Hormuz; Red Sea; Indian Ocean. No route is outside it. It means the oil market's ceiling, the calculation that kept the price from reaching catastrophic levels because the alternative route was viable, has been demonstrated as invalid. The ceiling is gone. The price finds its new level in a market where every viable routing option has been demonstrated to be subject to Iranian threat. It means the intelligence assessment that declared Iran's navy eliminated was geographically incomplete in a way that produced a false sense of resolution to the naval dimension of this conflict at exactly the moment that the conventional Iranian navy was positioning for the operation that just fired a torpedo off Sri Lanka. And it means the Iranian operational planning that prepositioned a conventional navy frigate in the Indian Ocean before this conflict began, was more comprehensive, more patient, and more strategically sophisticated, than any pre-conlict assessment of Iranian naval planning accounted for. Iran planned for the Indian Ocean. America planned for the Persian Gulf. The torpedo off Sri Lanka is the difference between those two planning horizons made physical. 3,500 miles. That is the distance between where America declared Iran's navy eliminated, and where Iran's navy just fired a torpedo. 3,500 miles. And a commercial vessel in the Indian Ocean carrying energy that 8 billion people sownstream of this conflict need, no longer floating in waters that were supposed to be safe, because America declared the threat eliminated. And the threat was 3,500 miles away from where America was looking.

What do we know about the Iranian Iris Dana ship and its existence?
Gemini said:
The IRIS Dena (often referred to as the Iris Dana in recent news reports) was an Iranian Moudge-class frigate that was recently sunk in the Indian Ocean.
The vessel's existence and subsequent destruction have become a major flashpoint in early 2026. Here is the breakdown of what is known:
The Vessel: IRIS Dena (75)
• Class & Type: Moudge-class frigate (locally described as a "destroyer").
• Commissioned: June 2021.
• Specifications: Approximately 95 meters long, displacing 1,500 tonnes.
• Capabilities: Equipped with anti-ship cruise missiles, surface-to-air missiles, and a helicopter landing pad. It was notably the first Iranian ship to use the indigenous Bonyan 4 engines.
+1
• Significance: It was considered a "prize ship" of the Iranian Navy, having completed a historic 360-degree global circumnavigation in 2023.
________________________________________
The Sinking (March 4, 2026)
The IRIS Dena was sunk in the early hours of March 4, 2026, approximately 19 nautical miles (35 km) off the coast of Galle, Sri Lanka.
• The Attack: The ship was struck by at least one Mk-48 heavyweight torpedo launched by the USS Charlotte, a Los Angeles-class nuclear-powered attack submarine.
• Historical Context: This marked the first time a U.S. Navy submarine has sunk an enemy warship with a torpedo since World War II.
• Circumstances: The Dena was returning to Iran after participating in the MILAN 2026 multinational naval exercises and the International Fleet Review in Visakhapatnam, India.
________________________________________
Casualties and Aftermath
The sinking was rapid, with reports suggesting the vessel went down within two to three minutes of the explosion.
Category Details
Total Personnel Estimated between 130 and 180 (including a ceremonial band).
Confirmed Dead At least 87 bodies were recovered by the Sri Lankan Navy.
Survivors 32 sailors were rescued and treated at Galle National Hospital.
Status Approximately 60+ personnel remain missing.
Current Controversy
There is significant diplomatic friction regarding the lawfulness of the strike.
• Iran's Position: Officials claim the ship was a "ceremonial guest" of India and was largely unarmed or in a "non-combat" configuration during its return voyage.
• U.S. Position: U.S. Indo-Pacific Command and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth confirmed the strike as part of Operation Epic Fury, asserting the vessel remained a legitimate military objective despite its recent participation in international exercises.
Would you like me to look into the current status of the other Iranian vessels that were traveling with the Dena, such as the IRIS Makran or IRIS Lavan?
You said:
What about the Iris Dena shooting a torpedo today, from a frigate taking the alternative route from the Strait of Hormuz?
Gemini said:
According to current naval records and reports as of March 22, 2026, there is a significant discrepancy regarding the status of the IRIS Dena.
The IRIS Dena was officially reported sunk on March 4, 2026, by the U.S. Navy submarine USS Charlotte off the coast of Sri Lanka. Because the ship is confirmed to be at the bottom of the Indian Ocean, it is physically impossible for the Dena itself to be operating or firing torpedoes today.
However, your question likely refers to the escalating "War at Sea" and the "alternative routes" currently being used by the remaining Iranian fleet. Here is the context of what is actually happening today:
1. The "Alternative Route" and the Strait of Hormuz
Since early March, the Strait of Hormuz has been functionally closed to standard commercial traffic.
• The Route: Iranian "Ghost Fleet" tankers and several smaller naval corvettes have been using Iranian territorial waters (hugging the coastline) as an "alternative route" to bypass the standard international shipping lanes where U.S. and Israeli naval presence is highest.
• Current Operations: Reports from today, March 22, indicate that while the Dena is gone, other Iranian vessels—specifically from the Moudge-class (the same class as the Dena) or the Kaman-class—are actively patrolling these coastal "safe zones."
2. Torpedo Activity Today?
While there are no confirmed reports of the Dena firing a torpedo today (given its sinking), there is intense activity in the region:
• Selective Transit: Iran has begun a policy of "selective passage," where they are reportedly targeting Western-linked vessels while allowing Chinese or Russian-flagged ships to pass.
• Retaliatory Threats: Just this week (March 17–22), Iran’s Navy Commander, Shahram Irani, vowed "deadly strikes" in retaliation for the sinking of the Dena.
• The "Alternative Fronts": Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei recently mentioned opening "new fronts" where the U.S. has limited experience. This has led to high-alert status for submarine and torpedo activity in the Sea of Oman and the North Arabian Sea.
3. Potential Confusion with "IRIS Jamaran" or "IRIS Sahand"
It is possible that a different frigate of the same class is being misidentified. The IRIS Jamaran and IRIS Sahand are both active and capable of carrying the same torpedo systems as the Dena. If a torpedo was fired today from a frigate on a coastal route, it would likely be one of these sister ships.

Revolutionary Guard Corps Navy, whose vessels were the targets of the American operation that eliminated warships.
This distinction is the most important single fact about this morning's torpedo and the one that no official statement has yet addressed clearly. America
destroyed IRGCN vessels. America declared the naval threat substantially reduced. America was describing the elimination of the force that operates
in the Persian Gulf. The Iris Dana is not an IRGC vessel. The Iris Dana is a conventional Iranian Navy vessel. The
conventional Iranian Navy operates in the Gulf of Oman, the Arabian Sea, the Indian Ocean. The conventional Iranian Navy has been conducting Indian Ocean
deployments for years as part of Iran's counter piracy and blue water presence operations. The conventional Iranian navy was not in the vessels that
America destroyed two weeks ago. The declaration that Iran's navy was eliminated was a declaration about the IRGCN force in the Persian Gulf. The
conventional Iranian navy was not in the Persian Gulf. It was off Sri Lanka waiting. Let's talk about the specific geography of what happened this morning
and why miles matters in the specific operational terms that make it the story. Sri Lanka sits in the central
Indian Ocean approximately km off the southern tip of India. The distance from Band Abbas, Iran's primary
naval base on the Persian Gulf to the waters of Sri Lanka is approximately km by the most direct routing through the Gulf of Oman and across the
Arabian Sea. At typical frigate cruising speeds of to knots, the transit takes approximately to days. The
Iris Dana did not depart Bandar Abbas this week in response to the conflict.
It departed weeks ago, possibly months ago. Iranian Navy conventional deployments to the Indian Ocean are not improvisational. They are planned,
provisioned, and executed on timelines measured in months. The Iris Dana was in the Indian Ocean before this conflict began. It was positioned in those waters
as part of an Iranian operational plan that anticipated this conflict and positioned conventional naval assets in the geographic space that American
military operations were least likely to address. Because the American focus was on the Persian Gulf theater. Iran was planning for the Indian Ocean dimension
of this conflict before the first missile of this conflict was fired. That is the sentence that every naval intelligence analyst is processing this morning. Not the torpedo itself, the
prepositioning, the months of preparation that placed a conventionally armed Iranian frigot in waters off Sri Lanka before the conflict began and
maintained it there through the conflict's first days while American attention was concentrated on the Persian Gulf. The torpedo is the event.
The prepositioning is the strategy.
Let's talk about what was torpedoed and why the choice of target tells you something specific about what Iran's Indian Ocean operation is designed to accomplish. The vessel struck by the
Iris, Dana's torpedo, has been identified in reporting as a commercial tanker transiting the Indian Ocean on the routing that shipping companies have
been using as the alternative to the Straight of Hormuz. The Cape of Good Hope routing and the alternative Indian Ocean transit corridors that vessels
have been taking specifically because those corridors were assessed as outside the Iranian naval threat envelope. Think about what that means. days ago, Iran
closed the straight of Hormuz to commercial shipping through a combination of naval mines, fast attack craft operations, and the threat environment that drove the insurance
market to suspend coverage for Gulf transit. The global shipping industry responded by rerouting through alternative corridors. The Indian Ocean
transit route, specifically vessels routing around the southern tip of the Arabian Peninsula into the Indian Ocean and toward the Cape of Good Hope, was
the corridor that risk analysts assessed as viable precisely because it was outside Iranian naval reach. The Iris Dana just demonstrated that the Indian
Ocean Transit corridor is not outside Iranian naval reach. The alternative route that the global shipping industry chose because it was safe is now the
route where Iran just demonstrated it can operate with torpedo armed frigots.
There is no safe route. Not through the straight of Hormuz where mines and fast attack craft operate. Not through the alternative Indian Ocean corridor where the Iris Dana just torpedo to vessel.
Not through the Gulf of Aiden, which connects to the Red Sea, where healthy operations have been running since before this conflict began and have intensified as a component of the
Iranian aligned access's maritime campaign. The maritime geography of global energy transport has been closed simultaneously in three separate
corridors by three separate Iranian aligned naval threats. The IRGCN in the Strait of Hormuz, the Houthis in the Red Sea and Gulf of Aiden, the conventional
Iranian Navy in the Indian Ocean, the torpedo of Sri Lanka completed the third side of a triangle that has now enclosed every major maritime route between Gulf
energy producers and Asian and European consumers. Let's talk about the physics and the operational mechanics of what the Iris Dana executed. Because
understanding how a frigot fires a torpedo in the middle of the Indian Ocean at a commercial tanker requires understanding what it means for the global shipping industry's risk
assessment. A torpedo attack requires the attacking vessel to approach its target to within engagement range,
typically to km depending on the torpedo type. The Iris Dana carries the UTlightweight torpedo, a Iranian
manufactured weapon with a maximum range of approximately km and a speed of knots. The torpedo homes on its target acoustically tracking the sound
signature of the target vessel's propulsion systems. A commercial tanker in the Indian Ocean does not have defensive systems against torpedo attack. No anti- torpedo countermeasures. No defensive weapons. No evasive capability. A fully loaded super tanker at maximum speed cannot maneuver quickly enough to evade a knot torpedo. The tanker is a target from the moment the Iris Dana achieves firing position. The Iris Dena achieving firing position off Sri Lanka requires it to have either been operating in those waters ahead of the tanker's arrival or to have maneuvered into position based on intelligence about the tanker's routing. Both options have specific intelligence implications. If the Iris Dena was stationed in the area in advance, it was operating on knowledge of which shipping routes vessels would use when the Hormuz closure forced alternative routing knowledge that required either monitoring of commercial shipping intelligence or access to information about how the global shipping industry was planning its Hormuz alternative routing in advance of the conflict. If the Iris Dana maneuvered into position based on real-time intelligence about the specific tanker's position and
route, it has access to maritime surveillance capability in the Indian Ocean that the international naval presence in those waters has not been tracking. Either option requires Iranian intelligence capability in the Indian Ocean that the American and Allied assessment of Iranian naval capacity did not adequately account for when the declaration of naval threat eliminated was issued.
Let's talk about what declaring Iran's navy eliminated, and then having that Navy torpedo a vessel 3,500 miles away means for the specific credibility of official assessments throughout this conflict. This is the fourth major official assessment that has been operationally contradicted in this conflict. (1) The assessment that Iran's missile capability was being degraded, contradicted by the IRGC spokesperson confirming the new missiles had not yet been fired. (2) The assessment that Iranian interceptor range was known, contradicted by two IRBM strikes on Diego Garcia 4,000 miles away. (3) The assessment that 7,000 strikes were eliminating the nuclear program, contradicted by the IAEA saying the program still exists. (4) And now the assessment that Iran's navy was eliminated, contradicted by a torpedo in the Indian Ocean 3,500 miles from the Persian Gulf. Four assessments, four operational contradictions.
The pattern is not four isolated intelligence failures. The pattern is systematic underestimation of Iranian military capability across four separate domains simultaneously. The intelligence community did not fail to track Iranian missiles. It underestimated their range. The intelligence community did not fail to track Iranian naval vessels. It tracked the wrong vessels, the IRGCN fleet in the Persian Gulf, and declared victory without accounting for the conventional navy that was already positioned in the Indian Ocean. The intelligence community did not fail to count Iranian missile launcher strikes. It failed to account for Iran's ability to rebuild launchers faster than strikes can destroy them. Each individual failure has an explanation. The pattern of four simultaneous failures has a different explanation. The pattern suggests that Iranian operational security, the specific practices Iran uses to conceal its real capability from foreign intelligence collection, has been more effective than the intelligence community's collection has been in penetrating it. Iran has been showing the world what it wants the world to see, while hiding what it does not want seen. The world has been assessing based on what was shown. The gaps between the shown and the hidden are appearing in operational events one by one. A torpedo off Sri Lanka is the fourth gap made visible.
Let's talk about what the Iris Dana in the Indian Ocean means for the global oil market that is already at $115 a barrel and climbing. The Indian Ocean transit route that the Iris Dana just demonstrated it can reach is the specific alternative that shipping companies, insurance underwriters, and energy commodity markets, had been using as the factor that placed a ceiling on the oil price disruption this conflict could produce. The reasoning was Hormuz is closed, but ships can route around it through the Indian Ocean. The rerouting adds cost and time, but keeps supply moving. The supply moving keeps the price from reaching the catastrophic levels that total closure would produce. The Iris Dana just removed the ceiling. If the Indian Ocean alternative route is subject to Iranian torpedo attack, then the alternative route is not a viable alternative. It is a different category of the same threat. Ships routing from the Gulf to Asia, or Europe, through the Indian Ocean, face Iranian conventional Navy torpedo threat in addition to the IRGCN mine threat in the strait, and the Houthi missile threat in the Red Sea. The routing option that was maintaining a partial energy supply flow, and providing the oil market ceiling on price escalation, has been demonstrated as nonviable.
The oil market does not wait for official assessments to process this development. Commodity traders processing the Iris Dena torpedo news are removing the ceiling from their price models. The specific number they arrive at when they remove the alternative route viability assumption from the supply calculation, is the number that every previous oil price spike in this conflict was moving toward, but had not yet reached. $150 has been discussed as the tail risk scenario. $200 has been described as the Iranian threat projection. The tail risk is the Indian Ocean. The Tail Risk just fired a torpedo.
Let's talk about the specific crisis the Iris Dana torpedo creates for the American naval response that was supposed to have resolved the Iranian naval threat when it destroyed 17 warships two weeks ago. American officials gave briefings after the 17-warship destruction operation, describing the Iranian naval threat as substantially reduced. Those briefings were accurate in what they described. They were incomplete in what they did not describe. The IRGCN surface fleet in the Persian Gulf was substantially reduced. The conventional Iranian Navy in the Indian Ocean was not addressed. The assessment of naval threat reduction was geographically bounded to the theater that had been the focus of American naval operations. It did not account for the theater where the conventional Iranian Navy had been operating before the conflict began. The American naval response to the Iris Dana torpedo requires addressing a vessel operating in the Indian Ocean. Not the Persian Gulf, not the Straight of Hormuz, the Indian Ocean, the geographic space where American carrier strike groups have been operating with the assumption of secure transit corridors, and where the logistical infrastructure of the Gulf campaign, including Diego Garcia, has been operating under the assumption of secure surrounding waters. Finding the Iris Dana in the Indian Ocean is a different operational problem from the IRGCN fast attack craft in the confined shallow water of the Persian Gulf. The Persian Gulf is 615 miles long and narrow. The Indian Ocean is 28 million square miles. A frigat-sized vessel in 28 million square miles of ocean is a significantly harder targeting problem than fast attack craft in a confined coastal waterway. The American P8, Poseidon maritime patrol aircraft, that conduct anti-submarine and surface surveillance operations, are being repositioned. The carrier strike groups that provide the naval power projection in the region are assessing coverage priorities. The satellites that provide maritime domain awareness are being tasked against the Indian Ocean search area. All of this is operational activity that the declared elimination of Iran's naval threat was supposed to make unnecessary.
Let's talk about what Japan, South Korea, China, and India, are each processing from this morning's torpedo, because the Indian Ocean is not peripheral geography for any of these countries. It is the transit corridor for the energy that their economies run on. Japan imports 90% of its energy. A significant portion of that energy transits the Indian Ocean, on tankers that use precisely the routing that the Iris Dana demonstrated is now subject to Iranian torpedo attack. Japan's Ministry of Economy has been managing a strategic petroleum reserve drawdown for 22 days, under the assumption that the Indian Ocean route was the viable alternative to the closed Hormuz corridor. The Iris Dana torpedo removes that assumption from Japanese energy security planning in real time. South Korea's situation is identical. South Korean semiconductor manufacturing, the industry that supplies the global electronic supply chain, runs on energy that transits the Indian Ocean.
The Iris Dena torpedo is a semiconductor price event as much as an energy price event. The supply chain consequence moves from the Korean manufacturing sector, through the global electronics industry, to the consumer prices of every product built on South Korean components.
China's reaction requires specific examination. China has been publicly calling for restraint throughout this conflict. China has significant economic interests in Indian Ocean sea lanes. Chinese-flagged vessels transit the Indian Ocean carrying energy imports from Gulf producers, and manufactured goods exports to global markets. An Iranian conventional Navy torpedo attack on a commercial vessel in the Indian Ocean is an attack on the maritime infrastructure of China's global trade, regardless of whose flag was on the vessel struck. China's public position supporting a diplomatic resolution calling for restraint, advancing the nuclear verification ceasefire framework, is about to become significantly harder to maintain if Iranian conventional navy operations in the Indian Ocean, continue to affect Chinese maritime commerce. The torpedo off Sri Lanka is the specific event that forces China's public position, and China's commercial interests, into direct tension. China cannot publicly endorse Iranian conventional navy operations in the Indian Ocean without endorsing attacks on the trade routes that Chinese commercial shipping depends on.
India is the most geographically immediate major power affected. The waters off Sri Lanka are India's maritime backyard. The Indian Ocean is India's strategic ocean, in the specific sense that India's entire foreign policy tradition regarding the Indian Ocea, treats it as within India's primary sphere of strategic interest. An Iranian frigot conducting torpedo attacks in waters adjacent to Indian territory, is an Iranian military operation in India's strategic backyard, without India's consent, and against India's maritime security interests. India's response to the Iris Dana torpedo, will be the most consequential single reaction to this morning's development, because India is the only major power in the immediate geographic vicinity with the naval capability to respond directly.
India's navy operates in the Indian Ocean. India's maritime patrol aircraft cover the waters off Sri Lanka routinely. India has relationships with both Iran, and the United States, that make its positioning on this specific development the most diplomatically complex calculation any government is running this morning.
Let's talk about what the torpedo off Sri Lanka means for the ceasefire negotiations that are simultaneously at their most advanced point since this conflict began. The ceasefire discussions that have been advancing through back channels, China's nuclear verification framework, Russia's security council process, Saudi Arabia's military threat creating pressure from the Gulf, have been premised on a specific geographic understanding of the conflict. The conflict is in the Persian Gulf, and its immediate region. A ceasefire that addresses the conflict addresses the Persian Gulf. The parties to the ceasefire are the parties operating in the Persian Gulf. The Iris Dana in the Indian Ocean introduces a dimension that the ceasefire framework has not been designed to address. A conventional Iranian naval vessel operating in the Indian Ocean 3,500 miles from the Persian Gulf, is not covered by a ceasefire that addresses the Persian Gulf theater.
A ceasefire that stops the Fatah-2 missiles, and the IRGCN fast attack craft, and the shore-based missiles covering the straight of Hormuz, does not stop an Iranian frigot in the Indian Ocean that received its orders before the conflict began, and is operating in international waters under standing orders that a ceasefire in a different geographic theater may not reach. The conventional Iranian Navy in the Indian Ocean is both a military problem, and a diplomatic problem. Militarily, it requires a naval search, and engagement operation, in 28 million square miles of open ocean. Diplomatically, it requires a ceasefire framework that addresses a vessel operating in international waters, far from the primary conflict theater, under standing orders that predate the ceasefire negotiation. Neither problem has a simple solution on the timeline that the ceasefire negotiations are operating under.
Here is what an Iranian torpedo in waters off Sri Lanka means for this war from this morning forward. It means the geographic assumption that American naval operations eliminated Iran's naval threat was wrong in the specific way that matters most. It eliminated one component of the Iranian naval threat. The component in the Persian Gulf. The component in the Indian Ocean was not eliminated. It was waiting. It means the alternative maritime route that global shipping has been using as the Hormuz closure workaround, is subject to the same Iranian naval threat that closed Hormuz. Not the same weapons, not the same forces, the same strategic intent applied in the same geographic space that the workaround was using. The triangle of Iranian maritime threat is complete. Hormuz; Red Sea; Indian Ocean. No route is outside it. It means the oil market's ceiling, the calculation that kept the price from reaching catastrophic levels because the alternative route was viable, has been demonstrated as invalid. The ceiling is gone. The price finds its new level in a market where every viable routing option has been demonstrated to be subject to Iranian threat. It means the intelligence assessment that declared Iran's navy eliminated was geographically incomplete in a way that produced a false sense of resolution to the naval dimension of this conflict at exactly the moment that the conventional Iranian navy was positioning for the operation that just fired a torpedo off Sri Lanka. And it means the Iranian operational planning that prepositioned a conventional navy frigate in the Indian Ocean before this conflict began, was more comprehensive, more patient, and more strategically sophisticated, than any pre-conlict assessment of Iranian naval planning accounted for. Iran planned for the Indian Ocean. America planned for the Persian Gulf. The torpedo off Sri Lanka is the difference between those two planning horizons made physical. 3,500 miles. That is the distance between where America declared Iran's navy eliminated, and where Iran's navy just fired a torpedo. 3,500 miles. And a commercial vessel in the Indian Ocean carrying energy that 8 billion people sownstream of this conflict need, no longer floating in waters that were supposed to be safe, because America declared the threat eliminated. And the threat was 3,500 miles away from where America was looking.

What do we know about the Iranian Iris Dana ship and its existence?
Gemini said:
The IRIS Dena (often referred to as the Iris Dana in recent news reports) was an Iranian Moudge-class frigate that was recently sunk in the Indian Ocean.
The vessel's existence and subsequent destruction have become a major flashpoint in early 2026. Here is the breakdown of what is known:
The Vessel: IRIS Dena (75)
• Class & Type: Moudge-class frigate (locally described as a "destroyer").
• Commissioned: June 2021.
• Specifications: Approximately 95 meters long, displacing 1,500 tonnes.
• Capabilities: Equipped with anti-ship cruise missiles, surface-to-air missiles, and a helicopter landing pad. It was notably the first Iranian ship to use the indigenous Bonyan 4 engines.
+1
• Significance: It was considered a "prize ship" of the Iranian Navy, having completed a historic 360-degree global circumnavigation in 2023.
________________________________________
The Sinking (March 4, 2026)
The IRIS Dena was sunk in the early hours of March 4, 2026, approximately 19 nautical miles (35 km) off the coast of Galle, Sri Lanka.
• The Attack: The ship was struck by at least one Mk-48 heavyweight torpedo launched by the USS Charlotte, a Los Angeles-class nuclear-powered attack submarine.
• Historical Context: This marked the first time a U.S. Navy submarine has sunk an enemy warship with a torpedo since World War II.
• Circumstances: The Dena was returning to Iran after participating in the MILAN 2026 multinational naval exercises and the International Fleet Review in Visakhapatnam, India.
________________________________________
Casualties and Aftermath
The sinking was rapid, with reports suggesting the vessel went down within two to three minutes of the explosion.
Category Details
Total Personnel Estimated between 130 and 180 (including a ceremonial band).
Confirmed Dead At least 87 bodies were recovered by the Sri Lankan Navy.
Survivors 32 sailors were rescued and treated at Galle National Hospital.
Status Approximately 60+ personnel remain missing.
Current Controversy
There is significant diplomatic friction regarding the lawfulness of the strike.
• Iran's Position: Officials claim the ship was a "ceremonial guest" of India and was largely unarmed or in a "non-combat" configuration during its return voyage.
• U.S. Position: U.S. Indo-Pacific Command and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth confirmed the strike as part of Operation Epic Fury, asserting the vessel remained a legitimate military objective despite its recent participation in international exercises.
Would you like me to look into the current status of the other Iranian vessels that were traveling with the Dena, such as the IRIS Makran or IRIS Lavan?
You said:
What about the Iris Dena shooting a torpedo today, from a frigate taking the alternative route from the Strait of Hormuz?
Gemini said:
According to current naval records and reports as of March 22, 2026, there is a significant discrepancy regarding the status of the IRIS Dena.
The IRIS Dena was officially reported sunk on March 4, 2026, by the U.S. Navy submarine USS Charlotte off the coast of Sri Lanka. Because the ship is confirmed to be at the bottom of the Indian Ocean, it is physically impossible for the Dena itself to be operating or firing torpedoes today.
However, your question likely refers to the escalating "War at Sea" and the "alternative routes" currently being used by the remaining Iranian fleet. Here is the context of what is actually happening today:
1. The "Alternative Route" and the Strait of Hormuz
Since early March, the Strait of Hormuz has been functionally closed to standard commercial traffic.
• The Route: Iranian "Ghost Fleet" tankers and several smaller naval corvettes have been using Iranian territorial waters (hugging the coastline) as an "alternative route" to bypass the standard international shipping lanes where U.S. and Israeli naval presence is highest.
• Current Operations: Reports from today, March 22, indicate that while the Dena is gone, other Iranian vessels—specifically from the Moudge-class (the same class as the Dena) or the Kaman-class—are actively patrolling these coastal "safe zones."
2. Torpedo Activity Today?
While there are no confirmed reports of the Dena firing a torpedo today (given its sinking), there is intense activity in the region:
• Selective Transit: Iran has begun a policy of "selective passage," where they are reportedly targeting Western-linked vessels while allowing Chinese or Russian-flagged ships to pass.
• Retaliatory Threats: Just this week (March 17–22), Iran’s Navy Commander, Shahram Irani, vowed "deadly strikes" in retaliation for the sinking of the Dena.
• The "Alternative Fronts": Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei recently mentioned opening "new fronts" where the U.S. has limited experience. This has led to high-alert status for submarine and torpedo activity in the Sea of Oman and the North Arabian Sea.
3. Potential Confusion with "IRIS Jamaran" or "IRIS Sahand"
It is possible that a different frigate of the same class is being misidentified. The IRIS Jamaran and IRIS Sahand are both active and capable of carrying the same torpedo systems as the Dena. If a torpedo was fired today from a frigate on a coastal route, it would likely be one of these sister ships.

Iran & Israel War: Israel's Smartest Move Accidentally Handed Iran the Target
VantageLedger
Mar 22, 2026 UNITED STATES
What just happened over Tel Aviv and Jerusalem was not a surprise to anyone who had been watching this conflict with clear eyes.
It looked like Iran got lucky. It looked like Israel's air defense simply ran out. That is the story every mainstream outlet is running with right now.
That story is wrong.
What actually happened was a four-phase operational campaign that Iran designed before the first missile ever left Iranian soil. Every strike before last night was not Iran trying to win and partially succeeding. Every strike before last night was Iran running a sequence. A deliberate, patient, mathematically precise sequence with one designed endpoint.
And here is the part that should genuinely unsettle every serious analyst watching this conflict.
Israel's best defensive decision of this entire war — the rational, militarily correct choice to concentrate its remaining interceptors over the Tel Aviv to Jerusalem corridor — was the final data point Iran needed to calculate the exact salvo size required to overwhelm both cities simultaneously.
Israel's smartest move accidentally handed Iran the target.
Not because Israel's decision-makers were incompetent. Because the trap was designed so precisely that making the right call was still not enough to escape it.
In this video I break down exactly how that happened.
WHAT THIS VIDEO COVERS:
→ The four-phase Iranian operational plan that began on February 28th — and why tonight was always going to be week four
→ Why Israel's concentration decision converted two separate unknown defensive capacities into one single calculable target for Iran
→ The $11 billion question — what the American air campaign actually degraded and what it didn't
→ The wildcard factor nobody in mainstream coverage is discussing that changes the entire strategic calculation
→ Three specific scenarios for what happens next — with real probability assessments and one clear stated position on which one is most likely
→ What this means for oil markets, regional alliance structures, and the global economic picture over the next thirty days
WHO THIS VIDEO IS FOR:
This is not a breaking news recap. If you want a minute-by-minute account of last night's strikes, every major network has that covered.
This is for people who want to understand the operational logic underneath the headlines. The strategic architecture behind the events. The decisions and miscalculations that made last night not just possible but inevitable.

Transcript
Two cities, one night. Tel Aviv and Jerusalem struck simultaneously by Iranian ballistic missiles in the early hours of this morning. And here is the
thing that nobody in any official briefing room is going to say out loud today. This was not a surprise. Not to Iran, not to anyone who had been watching the operational logic of this
conflict with clear eyes for the past four weeks. Because what happened this morning over the skies of Israel's two most important cities was not an escalation. It was not a breakthrough.
It was not even a gamble. It was a scheduled delivery. The question nobody is asking, the one that should be keeping every defense analyst, every intelligence director, and every head of
state who watched tonight's footage awake right now, is not how Iran hit both cities at once. The Intercept data will answer that within hours. The
real question is simpler and far more disturbing. If you watch what Iran did in the four weeks before this morning, step by step, decision by decision,
weapon by weapon, you cannot avoid the conclusion that tonight was the planned endpoint of a campaign that was designed before the first missile ever left
Iranian soil on February th. Think about what that means. Every strike before tonight was not Iran trying to win and partially succeeding. Every
strike before tonight was Iran running a sequence. A sequence with a specific terminal condition. And the terminal condition was always this. The moment
when the combined defensive capacity of both Tel Aviv and Jerusalem concentrated together in one corridor was still not enough to stop a single coordinated dual
city salvo. Iran didn't reach that moment by accident. It built that moment brick by brick, wave by wave,
interceptor by interceptor. and Israel and the United States watched it happen and could not stop it because stopping it would have required either unlimited
interceptor production, unlimited radar infrastructure, or the willingness to end the conflict before the sequence completed. None of those three things existed. So, here we are, two cities,
one night, and a question that is about to rewrite how every serious analyst thinks about layered air defense, about attrition warfare, and about what it
means when an adversary shows up to a four-week war with a four-week plan. I'm going to show you exactly what that plan looked like. Here is what most people watching this conflict think happened.
Iran has a lot of missiles. Israel has sophisticated air defense. The United States has sophisticated air defense.
Together, they've been shooting down most of what Iran fires. But Iran keeps firing and eventually some get through and eventually those that get through start causing serious damage. And
eventually the accumulated damage gets severe enough that we arrive at a night like tonight. That is the story. It is the story in every mainstream headline
right now. It is the story the Israeli government has been carefully maintaining across five strikes on Tel Aviv and two strikes on Jerusalem. It is
a story about attrition as an unfortunate and somewhat random process. Things run out. Stockpiles deplete.
Systems get overwhelmed. That's war. The problem with that story is a single word simultaneously. Not sequentially. Not one city then the other. Not Tel Aviv at a.m. and Jerusalem at a.m.
simultaneously. Both cities. Both defensive envelopes. Both warning systems. Both intercept chains activated at the exact same moment against salvos
that were specifically sized and specifically timed to exceed the combined capacity of both defensive envelopes operating at full stretch.
Think about the operational requirement that implies to strike two cities simultaneously in a way that exceeds their combined defensive capacity. You
need to know before you fire what their combined defensive capacity actually is.
You need to know how many interceptors are left over Tel Aviv, how many are left over Jerusalem, what their intercept probabilities are against your specific warhead types. And you need to
fire a salvo that exceeds the product of all of those calculations. That is not guesswork. That is intelligence. Iran knew. How Iran knew, we will get to. But
the point right now is that the mainstream story about tonight, the stockpiles ran out and things got bad story misses the most operationally significant fact about the dual strike.
The dual strike was not two strikes that happened to occur on the same night. It was a single coordinated strike package against a single combined target set
which happened to be spread across two cities km apart. The targeting logic treated Tel Aviv and Jerusalem as one problem, not two. That is a completely
different military operation than the narrative suggests. Here's the other thing the surface story gets wrong. The American and Israeli governments have been describing this conflict's air
defense picture in terms of success rates. Intercept rates, percentage of missiles stopped. Those numbers have been real and in some cases genuinely impressive. Early in the conflict,
intercept rates over Tel Aviv were above % on some nights. What those numbers never told you, what the public briefings were specifically constructed to avoid telling you is the denominator.
% intercept rate sounds excellent. %
intercept rate when you have enough interceptors to attempt % sounds excellent. % intercept rate when your remaining interceptor inventory means you can only attempt an intercept on %
of incoming warheads. sounds completely different. Same percentage, completely different reality underneath it. Every official statement about intercept
performance over the past four weeks described the numerator. The denominator, how many intercepts the remaining inventory could actually attempt on any given night, was never
publicly disclosed. That denominator is the number Iran was tracking. And here is the detail that the surface story has gotten wrong. The detail that changes
what tonight actually means. Iran didn't win tonight because it fired more missiles than Israel could stop. Iran won tonight because it knew exactly how
many missiles it needed to fire to exceed what Israel had left. And it waited patiently through four phases of a campaign designed specifically to
produce that calculation until the number it needed to fire was a number it could afford to fire. Tonight was not a breakthrough. Tonight was an invoice.
And the invoice was always going to come due. The only question, the one I want you to hold in your mind as I show you what the actual operational plan looked
like, is whether anyone in Jerusalem or Washington understood they were paying into it, one interceptor at a time from the very first night of this conflict.
Because what the surface story misses completely is this. The four weeks before tonight were not the war. The four weeks before tonight were Iran's
preparation for tonight. And if that's true, and the operational record says it is, then the next question is the one that should make every serious analyst's
stomach drop. What did Iran plan for the phase after tonight? I want to be careful here because what I'm about to say sounds like the kind of thing you
dismiss as conspiracy thinking until you map it against the actual operational timeline and realize you can't dismiss it anymore. Iran executed a four-phase
plan, not a reactive campaign, not an escalation ladder climbed in response to Israeli and American actions. A pre-written four-phase operational
sequence with a designed terminal condition. And every single decision Iran made across four weeks of this conflict fits that sequence with a precision that is difficult to attribute
to improvisation. Phase one, radar destruction. In the first hours of this conflict, Iran systematically destroyed the over the horizon radar
infrastructure that forms the nervous system of the entire Israeli and American air defense architecture in the region. These were not targets of opportunity. They were the specific
nodes whose destruction degraded warning timelines, reduced trajectory computation accuracy, and shortened the window in which interceptor batteries
could generate valid fire control solutions. You do not identify,
prioritize, and sequence those targets in hours. That target list was built months before February th. Phase two,
interceptor attrition. Wave after wave,
night after night, Iran fired enough to force Israel to fire interceptors. Never enough in a single wave to produce a single night catastrophic breakthrough
that would trigger a different kind of response. Just enough to move the consumption curve ahead of the production curve. Just enough to drain the inventory without crossing the
threshold that would force a fundamental strategic rethink from Washington. It was a managed drain, steady, deliberate,
calibrated to stay below the alarm level while staying above the replenishment rate. Think about that for a second.
That's hard. Phase three, capability introduction. the FOD maneuvering re-entry vehicle, the Shahed drone
timing sequences. Iran introduced defeat resistant weapons into the strike mix at the specific moment in the attrition curve when the upper tier interceptors
were depleted enough that the residual inventory couldn't reliably counter them. Not earlier, when there were enough arrow interceptors to make the
FOD 's maneuverability a solvable problem. At exactly the moment when the residual inventory was thin enough that introducing a harder to defeat warhead
type would produce the maximum degradation of effective intercept probability. That is not reactive weapons development. That is sequenced
capability deployment. And here is the part that should genuinely unsettle you.
Here is the counterintuitive fact at the center of this entire story that I've been building toward. Netanyahu's security cabinet decision to concentrate
remaining interceptors over the Tel Aviv to Jerusalem corridor. The decision that military analysts called rational triage. The decision that was the
correct defensive response to the attrition that phases through three had produced. That decision was Iran's final targeting input. Read that again.
Israel's best defensive decision gave Iran the last number it needed. Once Israel concentrated its remaining interceptors over both cities, Iran's
surveillance apparatus could assess the total interceptor capacity now positioned over that corridor, it could calculate the combined intercept probability of both defensive envelopes
operating simultaneously. And it could determine whether the total salvo size required to exceed that combined capacity was a salvo size Iran could
afford to fire in a single coordinated strike. The answer was yes. Israel's concentration decision converted two separate unknown defensive capacities
into one known combined defensive capacity. And that combined capacity,
the sum of the best defensive posture Israel could construct from what remained after three phases of managed attrition, was still not enough.
Iran did not guess that. Iran did not get lucky. Iran waited specifically for Israel to make that concentration decision because the concentration
decision was the event that converted distributed uncertainty into a single calculable target. The trap was not set the night Iran fired the dual strike.
The trap was set on February th and Israel walked into it because every rational defensive decision it made, the attrition response, the stockpile
management, the geographic concentration was a decision that was accounted for in the Iranian operational plan. That is the story underneath the surface story.
Not Iran got lucky and hit both cities.
Iran built a campaign specifically designed to produce the conditions in which hitting both cities simultaneously was a solvable math problem. And it
solved the math problem at the end of week four because week four was always when the math was going to become solvable. Now, here's the question that
follows directly from that. If Iran planned phases through four this precisely, and if tonight was phase four, what does phase look like?
Because a campaign this structured doesn't end with the dual strike. The dual strike was the signal, not the conclusion. There is a factor in this
conflict that almost nobody in the mainstream coverage is talking about.
Not because it's hidden, because it's uncomfortable in a way that makes it easier to set aside than to confront directly. The factor is this. The United
States has now spent more than billion on this air campaign. And Iran just hit Tel Aviv and Jerusalem simultaneously. Let that sit.
billion. Two carrier groups. the most expensive American air operation since the Iraq invasion, targeting runs on Iranian launch infrastructure for four
straight weeks. And the operational result, the measurable observable,
undeniable operational result as of this morning, is that Iran's ballistic missile capability is intact enough to execute a precision dual city strike
against Israel's two most important population centers simultaneously.
Bloomberg confirmed that after two full weeks of American strikes, more than half of Iran's missile launcher capacity remained operational. That was two weeks
ago. The dual strike this morning was launched from that surviving capacity.
So the billion question literally is what exactly did the American air campaign degrade? Here is the wild card.
Here's the thing nobody is saying loudly. The American strikes have been heavily constrained. Not by capability,
by geography, specifically by the Saudi and Gulf state refusals to allow American aircraft to use their territory or airspace for strike operations
targeting Iran directly. Every American ally Washington asked for access said no publicly on the record. That refusal
forced American strike packages onto longer routing that reduced weapons loads, compressed mission windows, and limited the depth inside Iranian territory that strike aircraft could
effectively reach. Iran's ballistic missile launch infrastructure is not concentrated on the coast. It is dispersed, hardened, and positioned at
depth. Reaching it requires routes that the Gulf state refusals made significantly more expensive and operationally limited than American
planners had assumed. The KCrefueling aircraft Iran destroyed in Saudi Arabia made that problem worse.
Five tankers, not five planes, five tankers. The specific asset category that extends American strike range and makes deep Iranian targets reachable.
Iran destroyed them in Saudi Arabia in a country that was already refusing to support the American campaign in a strike that simultaneously degraded
American strike capacity and sent a message to every Gulf state watching about what supporting American operations would cost. That was not
opportunism that is also sequenced. But here is the wild card nobody is calculating correctly. the Gulf state refusals, the tanker destruction, the
routing constraints, they have produced a situation where the United States is currently conducting an air campaign against a country it cannot fully reach
using bases it cannot fully use at a cost it cannot indefinitely sustain for objectives that the campaign's own results demonstrate it is not achieving.
That is not a sustainable position and Iran knows it. More specifically, and this is the wild card, Iran has structured this entire conflict around
the assumption that American operational patience has a cost ceiling. That at some dollar amount, at some casualty threshold, at some point, a visible
public gap between stated objectives and observable results, the domestic and political pressure on the administration becomes greater than the strategic
pressure to continue. We are at billion. We are at five destroyed tankers. We are at a dual strike on Tel Aviv and Jerusalem. We are at zero
achieved stated objectives. No regime change, no nuclear sight destruction, no meaningful ballistic missile degradation. The wild card is not
whether the United States can escalate further. It clearly can. The wild card is whether the administration will escalate further. Specifically, whether
it will absorb the political cost of escalating further on a campaign whose public results, as of this morning, look like this. Because if the answer to that
question is no, if the cost ceiling is somewhere near where we currently are,
then then Iran has already won the strategic patience contest, not the military contest, the strategic patience contest. And in a conflict where the
stated American objectives required Iranian capitulation on three separate fronts simultaneously, winning the strategic patience contest is enough.
Here is what that means for the next two weeks. If Washington decides the cost ceiling has been reached and begins moving toward a negotiated exit, Iran negotiates from the position of an
adversary that just demonstrated it can hit Tel Aviv and Jerusalem simultaneously. Every concession it grants costs it nothing compared to what it has already demonstrated it can do.
If Washington decides to escalate past the cost ceiling to absorb the domestic political cost and go harder, it is doing so against an adversary that has
already shown it planned four phases ahead. an adversary that has already accounted for the escalation decision in its operational planning. There is no
version of this where Iran is surprised by what Washington decides next. That is the wild card. Iran already knows both outcomes.

Don't trust the information in these videos, use them as a goad to your own research. I've verified some and disconfirmed other statements made in these videos. The vidoes do trend towards accuracy, but deviations from reality, seem to occur.
What just happened over Tel Aviv and Jerusalem was not a surprise to anyone who had been watching this conflict with clear eyes.
It looked like Iran got lucky. It looked like Israel's air defense simply ran out. That is the story every mainstream outlet is running with right now.
That story is wrong.
What actually happened was a four-phase operational campaign that Iran designed before the first missile ever left Iranian soil. Every strike before last night was not Iran trying to win and partially succeeding. Every strike before last night was Iran running a sequence. A deliberate, patient, mathematically precise sequence with one designed endpoint.
And here is the part that should genuinely unsettle every serious analyst watching this conflict.
Israel's best defensive decision of this entire war — the rational, militarily correct choice to concentrate its remaining interceptors over the Tel Aviv to Jerusalem corridor — was the final data point Iran needed to calculate the exact salvo size required to overwhelm both cities simultaneously.
Israel's smartest move accidentally handed Iran the target.
Not because Israel's decision-makers were incompetent. Because the trap was designed so precisely that making the right call was still not enough to escape it.
In this video I break down exactly how that happened.
WHAT THIS VIDEO COVERS:
→ The four-phase Iranian operational plan that began on February 28th — and why tonight was always going to be week four
→ Why Israel's concentration decision converted two separate unknown defensive capacities into one single calculable target for Iran
→ The $11 billion question — what the American air campaign actually degraded and what it didn't
→ The wildcard factor nobody in mainstream coverage is discussing that changes the entire strategic calculation
→ Three specific scenarios for what happens next — with real probability assessments and one clear stated position on which one is most likely
→ What this means for oil markets, regional alliance structures, and the global economic picture over the next thirty days
WHO THIS VIDEO IS FOR:
This is not a breaking news recap. If you want a minute-by-minute account of last night's strikes, every major network has that covered.

Two cities, one night. Tel Aviv and Jerusalem struck simultaneously by Iranian ballistic missiles in the early hours of this morning. And here is the
thing that nobody in any official briefing room is going to say out loud today. This was not a surprise. Not to Iran, not to anyone who had been watching the operational logic of this
conflict with clear eyes for the past four weeks. Because what happened this morning over the skies of Israel's two most important cities was not an escalation. It was not a breakthrough.
It was not even a gamble. It was a scheduled delivery. The question nobody is asking, the one that should be keeping every defense analyst, every intelligence director, and every head of
state who watched tonight's footage awake right now, is not how Iran hit both cities at once. The Intercept data will answer that within hours. The
real question is simpler and far more disturbing. If you watch what Iran did in the four weeks before this morning, step by step, decision by decision,
weapon by weapon, you cannot avoid the conclusion that tonight was the planned endpoint of a campaign that was designed before the first missile ever left
Iranian soil on February th. Think about what that means. Every strike before tonight was not Iran trying to win and partially succeeding. Every
strike before tonight was Iran running a sequence. A sequence with a specific terminal condition. And the terminal condition was always this. The moment
when the combined defensive capacity of both Tel Aviv and Jerusalem concentrated together in one corridor was still not enough to stop a single coordinated dual
city salvo. Iran didn't reach that moment by accident. It built that moment brick by brick, wave by wave,
interceptor by interceptor. and Israel and the United States watched it happen and could not stop it because stopping it would have required either unlimited
interceptor production, unlimited radar infrastructure, or the willingness to end the conflict before the sequence completed. None of those three things existed. So, here we are, two cities,
one night, and a question that is about to rewrite how every serious analyst thinks about layered air defense, about attrition warfare, and about what it
means when an adversary shows up to a four-week war with a four-week plan. I'm going to show you exactly what that plan looked like. Here is what most people watching this conflict think happened.
Iran has a lot of missiles. Israel has sophisticated air defense. The United States has sophisticated air defense.
Together, they've been shooting down most of what Iran fires. But Iran keeps firing and eventually some get through and eventually those that get through start causing serious damage. And
eventually the accumulated damage gets severe enough that we arrive at a night like tonight. That is the story. It is the story in every mainstream headline
right now. It is the story the Israeli government has been carefully maintaining across five strikes on Tel Aviv and two strikes on Jerusalem. It is
a story about attrition as an unfortunate and somewhat random process. Things run out. Stockpiles deplete.
Systems get overwhelmed. That's war. The problem with that story is a single word simultaneously. Not sequentially. Not one city then the other. Not Tel Aviv at a.m. and Jerusalem at a.m.
simultaneously. Both cities. Both defensive envelopes. Both warning systems. Both intercept chains activated at the exact same moment against salvos
that were specifically sized and specifically timed to exceed the combined capacity of both defensive envelopes operating at full stretch.
Think about the operational requirement that implies to strike two cities simultaneously in a way that exceeds their combined defensive capacity. You
need to know before you fire what their combined defensive capacity actually is.
You need to know how many interceptors are left over Tel Aviv, how many are left over Jerusalem, what their intercept probabilities are against your specific warhead types. And you need to
fire a salvo that exceeds the product of all of those calculations. That is not guesswork. That is intelligence. Iran knew. How Iran knew, we will get to. But
the point right now is that the mainstream story about tonight, the stockpiles ran out and things got bad story misses the most operationally significant fact about the dual strike.
The dual strike was not two strikes that happened to occur on the same night. It was a single coordinated strike package against a single combined target set
which happened to be spread across two cities km apart. The targeting logic treated Tel Aviv and Jerusalem as one problem, not two. That is a completely
different military operation than the narrative suggests. Here's the other thing the surface story gets wrong. The American and Israeli governments have been describing this conflict's air
defense picture in terms of success rates. Intercept rates, percentage of missiles stopped. Those numbers have been real and in some cases genuinely impressive. Early in the conflict,
intercept rates over Tel Aviv were above % on some nights. What those numbers never told you, what the public briefings were specifically constructed to avoid telling you is the denominator.
% intercept rate sounds excellent. %
intercept rate when you have enough interceptors to attempt % sounds excellent. % intercept rate when your remaining interceptor inventory means you can only attempt an intercept on %
of incoming warheads. sounds completely different. Same percentage, completely different reality underneath it. Every official statement about intercept
performance over the past four weeks described the numerator. The denominator, how many intercepts the remaining inventory could actually attempt on any given night, was never
publicly disclosed. That denominator is the number Iran was tracking. And here is the detail that the surface story has gotten wrong. The detail that changes
what tonight actually means. Iran didn't win tonight because it fired more missiles than Israel could stop. Iran won tonight because it knew exactly how
many missiles it needed to fire to exceed what Israel had left. And it waited patiently through four phases of a campaign designed specifically to
produce that calculation until the number it needed to fire was a number it could afford to fire. Tonight was not a breakthrough. Tonight was an invoice.
And the invoice was always going to come due. The only question, the one I want you to hold in your mind as I show you what the actual operational plan looked
like, is whether anyone in Jerusalem or Washington understood they were paying into it, one interceptor at a time from the very first night of this conflict.
Because what the surface story misses completely is this. The four weeks before tonight were not the war. The four weeks before tonight were Iran's
preparation for tonight. And if that's true, and the operational record says it is, then the next question is the one that should make every serious analyst's
stomach drop. What did Iran plan for the phase after tonight? I want to be careful here because what I'm about to say sounds like the kind of thing you
dismiss as conspiracy thinking until you map it against the actual operational timeline and realize you can't dismiss it anymore. Iran executed a four-phase
plan, not a reactive campaign, not an escalation ladder climbed in response to Israeli and American actions. A pre-written four-phase operational
sequence with a designed terminal condition. And every single decision Iran made across four weeks of this conflict fits that sequence with a precision that is difficult to attribute
to improvisation. Phase one, radar destruction. In the first hours of this conflict, Iran systematically destroyed the over the horizon radar
infrastructure that forms the nervous system of the entire Israeli and American air defense architecture in the region. These were not targets of opportunity. They were the specific
nodes whose destruction degraded warning timelines, reduced trajectory computation accuracy, and shortened the window in which interceptor batteries
could generate valid fire control solutions. You do not identify,
prioritize, and sequence those targets in hours. That target list was built months before February th. Phase two,
interceptor attrition. Wave after wave,
night after night, Iran fired enough to force Israel to fire interceptors. Never enough in a single wave to produce a single night catastrophic breakthrough
that would trigger a different kind of response. Just enough to move the consumption curve ahead of the production curve. Just enough to drain the inventory without crossing the
threshold that would force a fundamental strategic rethink from Washington. It was a managed drain, steady, deliberate,
calibrated to stay below the alarm level while staying above the replenishment rate. Think about that for a second.
That's hard. Phase three, capability introduction. the FOD maneuvering re-entry vehicle, the Shahed drone
timing sequences. Iran introduced defeat resistant weapons into the strike mix at the specific moment in the attrition curve when the upper tier interceptors
were depleted enough that the residual inventory couldn't reliably counter them. Not earlier, when there were enough arrow interceptors to make the
FOD 's maneuverability a solvable problem. At exactly the moment when the residual inventory was thin enough that introducing a harder to defeat warhead
type would produce the maximum degradation of effective intercept probability. That is not reactive weapons development. That is sequenced
capability deployment. And here is the part that should genuinely unsettle you.
Here is the counterintuitive fact at the center of this entire story that I've been building toward. Netanyahu's security cabinet decision to concentrate

Iran Just Bombed Tel Aviv With Cluster Munitions — 21 Waves, Banned Weapons on Israeli Streets
Money Matters
Mar 22, 2026
Iran just bombed Tel Aviv with cluster munitions in their 21st attack wave—banned weapons scattering unexploded bomblets across residential streets. Israel's interception rate dropped from 90% to 65% in one week. Each $200,000 Iranian missile costs Israel $3-10 million to intercept. 28 civilians dead, 3,200 hospitalized, entire city blocks cordoned off for bomb disposal. The mathematics of this war favor the attacker. This is the analysis mainstream media isn't showing you.
Transcript
Last night at approximately a.m.
local time, sirens began wailing across Tel Aviv. Residents who had grown accustomed to the nightly routine of running to shelters looked up at the sky
and saw something different. The usual pattern of interceptions, bright flashes followed by the sound of explosions high above was there. But something else was falling. Small objects, dozens of them,
descending through the night sky like a swarm of fireflies. Except these fireflies were explosive. They were submunitions from cluster warheads and
they were raining down on one of the most densely populated cities in the Middle East. This was Iran's st wave of Operation True Promise And for the
first time in this war, the world is seeing what happens when banned weapons meet failing defenses. Let me tell you exactly what Iran fired at Tel Aviv last
night. The missiles were Kibbar Shakan Ballistic Missiles, one of Iran's most advanced medium-range weapons. The name itself is a message. Kaibar refers to
the Battle of Kaibar in AD when early Muslim forces defeated Jewish tribes in the Arabian Peninsula. The name translates roughly to fortress
breaker or castle destroyer. Iran didn't choose this name by accident. But the message last night wasn't just symbolic,
it was explosive. The Kaibar Shakan has a range of approximately km, more than enough to reach any point in Israel
from Iranian territory. It uses solid fuel, which means it can be launched quickly without the lengthy preparation required for liquidfueled missiles. It
travels at speeds exceeding Mach during its boost phase. And its warhead impacts at approximately MAC to three,
fast enough to make interception extremely difficult. The warhead is maneuverable, capable of performing evasive actions as it descends through the atmosphere. This is not a crude
weapon. This is a precision instrument of destruction. And last night, Iran loaded these precision instruments with something that makes them even more
terrifying. Cluster munitions. Let me explain what cluster munitions are,
because this is where the story becomes truly disturbing. A conventional missile carries a single warhead that detonates on impact. The damage is concentrated in
one area. A cluster munition is different. Instead of one large warhead,
the missile carries dozens of smaller submunitions, sometimes called bomblets.
As the missile descends toward its target, the warhead opens up and releases these bomblets over a wide area. Each submunition in the Iranian cluster warheads contains approximately kg of explosives.
A single missile can scatter or more of these bomblets across an area the size of several football fields. The result is not a single explosion, but a
carpet of destruction. The footage from Tel Aviv last night shows exactly what this looks like. After the initial interception attempts, viewers could see
small, bright objects falling across the sky. These were the submunitions. Some exploded in the air, others hit the ground, detonating on impact. Fires
broke out in multiple locations simultaneously. At least people were wounded in central Israel from submunitions that landed in residential areas. Videos verified by multiple news organizations show the aftermath.
Shattered windows, burning vehicles,
craters and streets, and the distinctive pattern of multiple small impact sites rather than one large one. This is what cluster munitions do. They don't destroy
one building. They damage everything within their scatter radius. Now, here is why this matters beyond the immediate destruction. Cluster munitions are
banned under international humanitarian law. The convention on cluster munitions signed in prohibits the use,
production, transfer, and stockpiling of these weapons. More than countries have signed this treaty. The reason is simple. Cluster munitions cause
unacceptable harm to civilians. Many of the submunitions don't explode on impact. They become deacto landmines,
sitting in fields, on sidewalks, and playgrounds, waiting for someone to disturb them. Children are particularly vulnerable because the bomblets are
small, colorful, can be mistaken for toys. Decades after conflicts end,
cluster munitions continue to kill and maim. Amnesty International has already condemned Iran's use of these weapons,
calling it a flagrant violation of international humanitarian law. Iran has responded by pointing out that neither Israel nor the United States has signed
the convention on cluster munitions either. Both countries have used cluster munitions in previous conflicts. But that moral equivalence doesn't change what's falling on Tel Aviv right now.
Let me give you the numbers that explain why Israel's defenses are struggling.
Iran has now launched waves of attacks under Operation True Promise In the first days of this war alone,
Iran fired more than ballistic missiles at Israel. To put that in context, during the entire -day war last June, Iran launched approximately
missiles total. We're now on day seven of the current conflict, and the rate of fire has been relentless. Each wave brings new missiles, new drones,
new threats. Israel's multi-layered air defense system, the most sophisticated in the world, is being tested like never before. That system consists of three
main components. Iron Dome handles short-range threats, primarily the rockets fired by Hamas and Hezbollah from relatively close range. It has an advertised interception rate of over %
against the targets it engages. David's Sling handles medium-range threats, the kind of missiles that Hezblah has in abundance. Each David's Sling
interceptor cost approximately $million. And then there's the Aero system, Israel's defense against long range ballistic missiles like the ones
Iran is firing. Arrow interceptors cost approximately $million each. Against a $Iranian missile, Israel is
spending $million per interception attempt. And that's assuming every interception works. Here's the number that should terrify Israeli military planners. According to reports from
multiple sources, Israel's interception rate against Iranian ballistic missiles has dropped dramatically during this conflict. Early in the war, Israel
claimed success rates of around %. By day that rate has reportedly fallen to between and %, depending on
which source you believe. Some reports suggest it may be even lower for certain missile types. If you're finding value in this analysis, hit the subscribe
button because the mainstream coverage isn't connecting these dots. They're showing you explosions in the sky and calling it success. I'm showing you the
mathematics that says otherwise. A viral video from two days ago shows a single Iranian missile evading more than Israeli interceptors before striking its
target. The missile weaves and maneuvers as interceptor after interceptor detonates around it, but fails to destroy it. Then it hits the ground.
That video has been viewed millions of times because it shows something Israel's enemies have long suspected but never confirmed. The shield has holes.
There are several reasons why Israel's defenses are struggling. First, the sheer volume of attacks is depleting interceptor stockpiles. Israel doesn't
have unlimited missiles. Manufacturing arrow interceptors takes time, months,
or even years for significant quantities. Each Ainterceptor requires specialized components that only a handful of defense contractors can
produce. The production line can manufacture approximately to interceptors per month under optimal conditions. Israel has fired more than
that in single attack waves. Reports from June indicated that Israel was already running low on aerrow missiles after the -day war. Now they're facing
another sustained barrage, and American resupply is also constrained because the United States has been burning through its own stock supporting both Israel and
Ukraine. The Pentagon's own stockpiles of SMinterceptors, which share components with Arrow, have been drawn down to levels that defense officials privately describe as concerning.
Second, Iranian missiles have become more sophisticated. The Kaibar Shakan's maneuverable warhead is specifically designed to evade interceptors. It
doesn't follow a predictable ballistic trajectory. It adjusts its path as it descends, forcing Israeli systems to constantly recalculate intercept
solutions. Third, Iran is using saturation tactics. They're not launching one missile at a time. They're launching waves, sometimes dozens of
missiles in a single attack, combined with drones that force Israel to use cheaper interceptors, while the expensive arrow systems deal with ballistic threats. The mathematics of
this war favor the attacker. Let me walk you through what happened to Israeli civilians last night. And over the past week, because the human cost is
mounting, since February th, Iranian missile strikes have killed at least Israeli civilians and one soldier. More than three two people have been
hospitalized with injuries. The deadliest single attack struck the city of B sheamesh on March st, killing nine people and injuring more than others.
Missiles have hit highways near Jerusalem. Debris from interceptions has fallen on residential neighborhoods. Air raid sirens have become a constant feature of daily life across central and northern Israel. Schools are closed.
Businesses are shuttered. Millions of Israelis are spending significant portions of their days in bomb shelters.
And now add cluster munitions to that picture. The submunitions that didn't explode last night are still out there.
Israeli bomb disposal teams are working around the clock to locate and neutralize them, but they can't find them all. The small bomblets can land in bushes, under cars, and gardens in
places where children play. Each bomblet weighs less than a kilogram, but contains enough explosive to kill anyone within a m radius. The Israeli police
have cordoned off three city blocks in central Tel Aviv, where unexloded submunitions have been confirmed. Residents cannot return to their homes.
The municipal government estimates that a complete clearance operation across the affected neighborhoods will take at minimum to weeks, assuming no
additional cluster attacks occur. The danger doesn't end when the sirens stop.
It persists until every single submunition is found and removed. That process can take years. Israel is now facing not just nightly missile attacks,
but a long-term contamination problem that will outlast the war itself. Now,
let me explain why Iran has escalated to cluster munitions. Because this represents a strategic decision, not just a tactical one. Iran knows that its
missiles alone cannot defeat Israel militarily. Even if every missile got through, Iran doesn't have enough of them to destroy Israel's military capability. But Iran can achieve
something else. They can make life in Israel unbearable. They can force millions of people into shelters every night. They can shut down the economy.
They can create a constant state of fear and exhaustion. Cluster munitions amplify this effect. They don't just damage buildings. They contaminate neighborhoods. They make people afraid
to walk outside even after the allclear sounds. They transform entire areas into potential minefields. This is psychological warfare as much as
military warfare. The cost equation also favors Iran. A single Kaibar Shikan missile with a cluster warhead costs Iran somewhere between and
$to produce. Defending against it requires Israel to fire multiple interceptors, potentially totaling tomillion worth of defensive
missiles. And even if the interception succeeds, the submunitions that scatter before the warhead is destroyed can still cause damage on the ground. Israel is bleeding money with every attack,
while Iran is spending a fraction of that amount. Over time, this equation becomes unsustainable. Israel cannot manufacture interceptors fast enough to
replace what they're using. Iran can manufacture missiles faster than Israel can manufacture the weapons to stop them. Here is what the Israeli government is saying about all of this,
because their response reveals how serious the situation has become.
Israeli officials have accused Iran of deliberately targeting civilians with banned weapons. The IDF spokesperson stated that Iran is using cluster
munitions specifically to maximize civilian casualties, calling it a war crime. Israel has appealed to international organizations for
condemnation, but the international response has been muted. The same organizations that might condemn Iran's use of cluster munitions have also
criticized Israel's conduct in Gaza. The moral high ground is contested territory. Meanwhile, the missiles keep falling. Let me tell you what comes next
because this war is far from over. Iran has promised to continue Operation True Promise until American and Israeli attacks on Iranian territory stop.
There's no indication that either side is ready for a ceasefire. The United States has stated it is accelerating, not decelerating, its strikes on Iran.
Israel has conducted more than strikes on Iranian targets in just days. Both sides are escalating, not deescalating. And as long as the attacks continue, so will Iran's retaliation.
The cluster munition attacks represent a new phase in this conflict. Iran is signaling that it will use increasingly destructive weapons if the war continues. What comes after cluster
munitions? Iran has chemical weapons capabilities that it has never publicly acknowledged. It has biological research programs. It has missiles that can reach
any point in the Middle East. The escalation ladder has many rungs and both sides are climbing. Here is what I want you to understand as we close this
video. waves of attacks, cluster munitions falling on Tel Aviv,
interception rates dropping from % to perhaps % or lower, Israeli civilians dead, hospitalized,
unexloded submunitions scattered across residential neighborhoods. This is not a war that Israel is winning on the defensive front. The Iron Dome, David
Sling, and a systems that Israel has spent billions developing are being overwhelmed. Not destroyed, not defeated, but overwhelmed. There's a
difference. A system that stops % of incoming missiles is still an incredible achievement. But in a city of four million people, the % that gets
through can kill thousands. Iran has found Israel's weakness. It's not a technological weakness. Uh Israeli air defenses are genuinely the best in the world. The weakness is mathematical.
There are only so many interceptors. There are only so many launchers.
There's only so much money. And Iran has more missiles than Israel has ways to stop them. share this video because the mainstream media is showing you
explosions in the sky and calling it a successful defense. They're not showing you the submunitions that fell in residential areas. They're not explaining that cluster munitions are
banned weapons. They're not telling you that interception rates have dropped by percentage points in one week.
They're not doing the math on interceptor costs versus missile costs. The story they're telling is reassuring. The story I just told you is terrifying.
Both stories are true, but only one of them matters for what comes next. Iran just bombed Tel Aviv with cluster bombs.
Israel's defenses are not failing completely, but they are failing partially. And in a war measured in percentages, partial failure means
people die. so far. The question is how many more before this ends?

What do we know about Israel's use of cluster munitions in recent wars in Lebanon, Jordan, Gaza, etc.?
Gemini said:
The use of cluster munitions in the Middle East has seen a significant and controversial resurgence in the current conflict (2024–2026), involving not only Israel but also Iran and Hezbollah.
As of March 2026, here is the current state of knowledge regarding these weapons in the region:
1. Lebanon: New Evidence and "Dud" Concerns
While Israel's use of cluster munitions in the 2006 war is well-documented (with over 4 million submunitions fired), new reports have surfaced regarding the conflict that began in late 2023 and escalated through early 2026.
• Remnant Findings (Nov 2025): Investigations by groups like The Guardian and arms experts identified remnants of Israeli cluster munitions—specifically the M999 artillery shell and the Ra'am Eitan guided missile—in southern Lebanon (Wadi Zibqin and Wadi Barghouz).
• New Technology Claims: Israeli media and military officials have claimed that these newer munitions have a "dud rate" as low as 0.01%, intended to minimize long-term civilian risk. However, humanitarian groups like the Cluster Munition Coalition argue that "field" dud rates are always significantly higher than advertised.
• Impact on Reconstruction: By early 2026, the Lebanese Mine Action Center reported that areas cleared after 2006 have been re-contaminated, halting farming and reconstruction in over 100 border villages.
2. Gaza: Scarcity of Reports
Direct reports of cluster munition use in Gaza during the 2023–2026 conflict are significantly fewer than in Lebanon.
• Most documentation from Gaza focuses on White Phosphorus, heavy aerial bombardment of urban centers, and "dumb" bombs.
• Cluster munitions are generally less effective in dense urban environments like Gaza City compared to the open, forested valleys of Southern Lebanon, which may account for the lack of confirmed use there.
3. Iran’s Use of Cluster Missiles (2026)
A major development in the current U.S.-Israel-Iran war (beginning February 28, 2026) is Iran’s deployment of cluster warheads.
• Targeting Israel: The IDF reported that roughly 50% of the ballistic missiles fired from Iran since late February 2026 have been equipped with cluster warheads.
• Defensive Challenge: These warheads are designed to split 7–10 km above the ground, making them nearly impossible for the Iron Dome or Arrow systems to intercept once the submunitions have dispersed. Impacts have been reported in Tel Aviv, Ashkelon, and Rishon LeZion.
4. Geopolitical and Legal Status
Neither Israel, the United States, nor Iran are signatories to the 2008 Convention on Cluster Munitions, which bans their use.
• U.S. Policy Shift (2026): In February 2026, the Pentagon reportedly signed a $210 million deal to purchase XM1208 155mm cluster projectiles from an Israeli manufacturer, a move criticized by Human Rights Watch as a "deadly regression" of global norms.
• Humanitarian Toll: The 2025 Cluster Munition Monitor noted that 100% of reported cluster munition casualties in 2024 were civilians, with children making up nearly half of the victims due to unexploded "bomblets" resembling toys or curiosities.

Iran just bombed Tel Aviv with cluster munitions in their 21st attack wave—banned weapons scattering unexploded bomblets across residential streets. Israel's interception rate dropped from 90% to 65% in one week. Each $200,000 Iranian missile costs Israel $3-10 million to intercept. 28 civilians dead, 3,200 hospitalized, entire city blocks cordoned off for bomb disposal. The mathematics of this war favor the attacker. This is the analysis mainstream media isn't showing you.
Transcript
Last night at approximately a.m.
local time, sirens began wailing across Tel Aviv. Residents who had grown accustomed to the nightly routine of running to shelters looked up at the sky
and saw something different. The usual pattern of interceptions, bright flashes followed by the sound of explosions high above was there. But something else was falling. Small objects, dozens of them,
descending through the night sky like a swarm of fireflies. Except these fireflies were explosive. They were submunitions from cluster warheads and
they were raining down on one of the most densely populated cities in the Middle East. This was Iran's st wave of Operation True Promise And for the
first time in this war, the world is seeing what happens when banned weapons meet failing defenses. Let me tell you exactly what Iran fired at Tel Aviv last
night. The missiles were Kibbar Shakan Ballistic Missiles, one of Iran's most advanced medium-range weapons. The name itself is a message. Kaibar refers to
the Battle of Kaibar in AD when early Muslim forces defeated Jewish tribes in the Arabian Peninsula. The name translates roughly to fortress
breaker or castle destroyer. Iran didn't choose this name by accident. But the message last night wasn't just symbolic,
it was explosive. The Kaibar Shakan has a range of approximately km, more than enough to reach any point in Israel
from Iranian territory. It uses solid fuel, which means it can be launched quickly without the lengthy preparation required for liquidfueled missiles. It
travels at speeds exceeding Mach during its boost phase. And its warhead impacts at approximately MAC to three,
fast enough to make interception extremely difficult. The warhead is maneuverable, capable of performing evasive actions as it descends through the atmosphere. This is not a crude
weapon. This is a precision instrument of destruction. And last night, Iran loaded these precision instruments with something that makes them even more
terrifying. Cluster munitions. Let me explain what cluster munitions are,
because this is where the story becomes truly disturbing. A conventional missile carries a single warhead that detonates on impact. The damage is concentrated in
one area. A cluster munition is different. Instead of one large warhead,
the missile carries dozens of smaller submunitions, sometimes called bomblets.
As the missile descends toward its target, the warhead opens up and releases these bomblets over a wide area. Each submunition in the Iranian cluster warheads contains approximately kg of explosives.
A single missile can scatter or more of these bomblets across an area the size of several football fields. The result is not a single explosion, but a
carpet of destruction. The footage from Tel Aviv last night shows exactly what this looks like. After the initial interception attempts, viewers could see
small, bright objects falling across the sky. These were the submunitions. Some exploded in the air, others hit the ground, detonating on impact. Fires
broke out in multiple locations simultaneously. At least people were wounded in central Israel from submunitions that landed in residential areas. Videos verified by multiple news organizations show the aftermath.
Shattered windows, burning vehicles,
craters and streets, and the distinctive pattern of multiple small impact sites rather than one large one. This is what cluster munitions do. They don't destroy
one building. They damage everything within their scatter radius. Now, here is why this matters beyond the immediate destruction. Cluster munitions are
banned under international humanitarian law. The convention on cluster munitions signed in prohibits the use,
production, transfer, and stockpiling of these weapons. More than countries have signed this treaty. The reason is simple. Cluster munitions cause
unacceptable harm to civilians. Many of the submunitions don't explode on impact. They become deacto landmines,
sitting in fields, on sidewalks, and playgrounds, waiting for someone to disturb them. Children are particularly vulnerable because the bomblets are
small, colorful, can be mistaken for toys. Decades after conflicts end,
cluster munitions continue to kill and maim. Amnesty International has already condemned Iran's use of these weapons,
calling it a flagrant violation of international humanitarian law. Iran has responded by pointing out that neither Israel nor the United States has signed
the convention on cluster munitions either. Both countries have used cluster munitions in previous conflicts. But that moral equivalence doesn't change what's falling on Tel Aviv right now.
Let me give you the numbers that explain why Israel's defenses are struggling.
Iran has now launched waves of attacks under Operation True Promise In the first days of this war alone,
Iran fired more than ballistic missiles at Israel. To put that in context, during the entire -day war last June, Iran launched approximately
missiles total. We're now on day seven of the current conflict, and the rate of fire has been relentless. Each wave brings new missiles, new drones,
new threats. Israel's multi-layered air defense system, the most sophisticated in the world, is being tested like never before. That system consists of three
main components. Iron Dome handles short-range threats, primarily the rockets fired by Hamas and Hezbollah from relatively close range. It has an advertised interception rate of over %
against the targets it engages. David's Sling handles medium-range threats, the kind of missiles that Hezblah has in abundance. Each David's Sling
interceptor cost approximately $million. And then there's the Aero system, Israel's defense against long range ballistic missiles like the ones
Iran is firing. Arrow interceptors cost approximately $million each. Against a $Iranian missile, Israel is
spending $million per interception attempt. And that's assuming every interception works. Here's the number that should terrify Israeli military planners. According to reports from
multiple sources, Israel's interception rate against Iranian ballistic missiles has dropped dramatically during this conflict. Early in the war, Israel
claimed success rates of around %. By day that rate has reportedly fallen to between and %, depending on
which source you believe. Some reports suggest it may be even lower for certain missile types. If you're finding value in this analysis, hit the subscribe
button because the mainstream coverage isn't connecting these dots. They're showing you explosions in the sky and calling it success. I'm showing you the
mathematics that says otherwise. A viral video from two days ago shows a single Iranian missile evading more than Israeli interceptors before striking its
target. The missile weaves and maneuvers as interceptor after interceptor detonates around it, but fails to destroy it. Then it hits the ground.
That video has been viewed millions of times because it shows something Israel's enemies have long suspected but never confirmed. The shield has holes.
There are several reasons why Israel's defenses are struggling. First, the sheer volume of attacks is depleting interceptor stockpiles. Israel doesn't
have unlimited missiles. Manufacturing arrow interceptors takes time, months,
or even years for significant quantities. Each Ainterceptor requires specialized components that only a handful of defense contractors can
produce. The production line can manufacture approximately to interceptors per month under optimal conditions. Israel has fired more than
that in single attack waves. Reports from June indicated that Israel was already running low on aerrow missiles after the -day war. Now they're facing
another sustained barrage, and American resupply is also constrained because the United States has been burning through its own stock supporting both Israel and
Ukraine. The Pentagon's own stockpiles of SMinterceptors, which share components with Arrow, have been drawn down to levels that defense officials privately describe as concerning.
Second, Iranian missiles have become more sophisticated. The Kaibar Shakan's maneuverable warhead is specifically designed to evade interceptors. It
doesn't follow a predictable ballistic trajectory. It adjusts its path as it descends, forcing Israeli systems to constantly recalculate intercept
solutions. Third, Iran is using saturation tactics. They're not launching one missile at a time. They're launching waves, sometimes dozens of
missiles in a single attack, combined with drones that force Israel to use cheaper interceptors, while the expensive arrow systems deal with ballistic threats. The mathematics of
this war favor the attacker. Let me walk you through what happened to Israeli civilians last night. And over the past week, because the human cost is
mounting, since February th, Iranian missile strikes have killed at least Israeli civilians and one soldier. More than three two people have been
hospitalized with injuries. The deadliest single attack struck the city of B sheamesh on March st, killing nine people and injuring more than others.
Missiles have hit highways near Jerusalem. Debris from interceptions has fallen on residential neighborhoods. Air raid sirens have become a constant feature of daily life across central and northern Israel. Schools are closed.

15 F-35 jets down as Iran's cluster missiles shake Israel’s Nevatim airbase -
OPTM

Transcript
Welcome back. Before we get into this, I need you to understand the gravity of what we're about to discuss. For weeks,
we've been fed a narrative by Western media outlets and the Israeli propaganda machine about the invincibility of their defense systems. We've been told that Israel's air defense is a multi-layered,
impenetrable fortress. The Iron Dome,
David's Sling, and the Arow system all working in perfect harmony. We've been told that the Israeli Air Force is
untouchable. The undisputed master of the skies over the Middle East. Well,
what happened in the last few hours have shattered that illusion into a million pieces. The skies over southern Israel turned into a battlefield. On March
Iran launched wave after wave of ballistic missiles. And this time, the target wasn't random. It was Neatim air base.
Exposing the sheer arrogance and strategic blindness of Netanyahu's war cabinet. In a stunning, meticulously planned operation, Iran has done what
military analysts in Washington and Tel Aviv claimed was impossible. They penetrated the heart of Israel's most
heavily fortified air base, Nevatim, and delivered a blow so devastating that it has fundamentally altered the balance of
power in this now -week old war. We are talking about the Neatim Air Base, a name that should strike fear into anyone
who understands military strategy. This isn't just any airfield. This is the crown jewel of the Israeli Air Force.
Located deep in the negative desert about km southeast of Beersa, Nadam is the primary home of Israel's most
advanced and lethal assets, the F-I Adir stealth fighter jets. These are the aircraft that Israel has been relying on
to strike deep into Iranian territory to project power across the region and to maintain the qualitative military edge that the West has so generously funded
for decades. The base is a fortress, or so they thought. It's equipped with hardened aircraft hangers, redundant runways, and is surrounded by the most
advanced integrated missile defense network on the planet. To even scratch the paint on a hanger at Nevatim was considered a fantasy by the Israelis.
But last night, fantasy became a nightmare. Iranian missiles,
specifically the hypersonic FATA not only reached the base, but smashed into it with pinpoint accuracy, destroying
hangers. And according to multiple sources now confirming the damage,
taking out as many as F-I fighter jets that were parked on the tarmac.
This is not just a hit. This is a decapitation strike against Israel's air superiority. Before we move forward, if
you are tired of the Western media lying to your face about the strength of the Axis of resistance, if you want to see the truth about the crumbling empire
that is the Zionist entity, then hit that like button right now. Smash it.
Share this video because the algorithm is suppressing this truth. And drop a comment, even if it's just a dot or a to
help push this to the top. We need to overwhelm the censorship. If you haven't already, subscribe to this channel for
honest, uncompromising journalism. We don't carry water for the Pentagon or the Israeli lobby here. We report the facts as they happen. And the facts today are devastating for Tel Aviv.
Let's just sit with that for a second.
F-s. Do you understand what that represents? Each one of these aircraft costs upwards of $to hundmillion.
But it's not just about the money. The F-is the backbone of Netanyahu's strategy to strike Iran. These are the jets he was counting on to fly into
Iranian airspace with impunity. And now they aren't just damaged, they are destroyed. They are burning in their own hangers at the very base that was
supposed to be the safest place for them. This is a psychological blow that goes far beyond the military losses. It
tells the world, it tells Iran, and it tells the Israeli public that there is no safe haven for their war machine. The
narrative that Iran is a paper tiger or that its military infrastructure has been crippled by recent strikes is now
officially dead. It was a lie fabricated by the CIA and Mossad to boost morale and it has been exposed in the most
spectacular fashion possible. So, how did this happen? How did Iran pull this off? This wasn't a lucky shot. This was
a masterclass in asymmetric warfare and technological innovation. The missile used in this specific attack is the Fata
Now pay close attention to this because this is where the Israeli and American military planners completely
miscalculated. The FATA is a hypersonic missile and it represents a paradigm shift in warfare. Unlike the
older slower ballistic missiles that Israel's Arrow and David sling systems are designed to intercept, the FATA
moves at speeds exceeding Mach But speed isn't the only factor. What makes this weapon truly unstoppable is its
flight trajectory. It doesn't just fly in a high predictable parabolic arc. It maneuvers, it glides. It uses a scramjet engine to change direction mid-flight,
making it impossible for radar systems to track it accurately or calculate an intercept point. The Israeli integrated air defense network, which they have
spent billions of dollars perfecting with US support, simply has no counter for this. The Iron Dome is designed for
short- range rockets, not hypersonic missiles. The ARO system, which is supposed to handle high altitude
ballistic threats, relies on predictive algorithms based on ballistic arcs. When the missile starts zigzagging at
hypersonic speeds, those algorithms fail. The result, a % failure rate in interception attempts during this
attack. According to early reports, the missiles that hit Nevitum flew right through the impenetrable wall. This
isn't just a technical failure. It is a complete strategic defeat for the US defense contractors who promised Israel
security. It says that the era of the hypersonic missile is here and the West is woefully tragically unprepared to
defend against it. Now imagine the scene inside the bunker. We've seen the videos circulating on X. the AI generated Lego
clips that are going viral, showing Netanyahu scrambling for cover. And while those are satirical, the reality
is even more damning. While his precious fighter jets were being turned to scrap metal in their hangers, where was
Benjamin Netanyahu? He was hiding. He was in his underground bunker in Jerusalem, the same bunker he runs to
every time a siren goes off, leaving the Israeli public to fend for themselves. This is the man who started this war,
who banged his fist on the table at the UN and promised total victory. And yet for weeks, he has failed to establish air superiority over Iran, over Lebanon,
or even over his own airspace. He promised to dismantle Iran's ability to fire missiles. But today, Iran is firing
with impunity. And the mocking on X is absolutely brutal. You see posts comparing him to a desert rad hiding
underground while Iranian missiles rain down on his air force. The question being asked across the Arab world and
increasingly inside Israel is what was the point of this war? Netanyahu claimed he was fighting to restore deterrence.
But right now deterrence is in ruins. He has failed to stop the rockets from Gaza, failed to stop Hezbollah in the
north, and now his own strategic air base, the symbol of Israeli might, has been gutted by the very power he swore to degrade. The hypocrisy is staggering.
He was so focused on bombing residential buildings in Gaza and striking empty warehouses in Syria that he completely missed the evolution of Iran's military
capabilities. He thought the threat was in the tunnels of Gaza, but the real threat was sitting in underground silos in Iran, waiting for the right moment to
humble the Israeli air force. This brings us to the bigger picture, the escalation ladder. For weeks, we have
been hearing from Western analysts that Israel and the US are dominating this war. They claimed that over % of
Iran's missile launchers had been destroyed in preemptive strikes. They claimed that the Iranian military was in disarray. But what we are witnessing
right now is a complete inversion of that narrative. Iran hasn't just survived these four weeks. They have thrived. They are demonstrating a level
of military sophistication that has absolutely dumbfounded the Pentagon. How did Iran launch a strike of this magnitude when the Americans swore they had crippled their launch capabilities?
The answer lies in something the US and Israel have never been able to solve.
Iran's underground missile cities. While Israel was bombing empty above ground facilities and wasting expensive bunker
busters on decoys, Iran was firing from deep beneath the earth. The Iranian military has perfected the use of
underground silos, some buried up to m deep in the mountains. They have built extensive networks of tunnels that allow
them to move mobile launchers into position, fire their missiles, and retreat back under the mountain before the counter battery fire can even
arrive. The Americans and Israelis can claim they destroyed launchers all day long. But as long as the tunnels remain intact, the threat remains. It's a
system designed for attrition and it is working. Furthermore, the launch tactics being used by Iran are rewriting the textbooks on ballistic missile warfare.
They are using a combination of high angle lofted trajectories and swarm tactics. In simple terms, they are firing missiles that go incredibly high,
then dive straight down at terminal velocities that the AO system struggles to track. But at the same time, they are
firing dozens of cheaper, lower tech missiles to saturate the batteries. The Iron Dome interceptors cost tens of
thousands of dollars each. The Iranian missiles they are intercepting cost a fraction of that. It's an economic war of attrition as much as a kinetic one.
The goal isn't just to cause damage.
It's to drain the Israeli treasury and exhaust their military stockpiles, which the US is now desperately trying to replenish with emergency airlifts. The
United States is flying in Cs to Rammstein and then to Neatam, the very base that just got hit to try and patch up a defense system that is hemorrhaging
credibility. While the Israeli military is trying to do damage control, claiming the attack was ineffective. The visual
evidence tells a different story. You can see the craters, the structural collapses, the debris fields. This
wasn't a glancing blow. This was precision demolition. The Iranians knew exactly where to hit. They didn't just
randomly lob missiles. They targeted the hardened hangers that house the F-s.
This speaks to a level of intelligence penetration that is also terrifying for Israel. Iran knew exactly where the jets were parked, which hangers were active,
and which ones to hit with their most advanced hypersonic weapons. This is a complete failure of Israeli counter inelligence. In conclusion, what we are
seeing is the collapse of the Israeli air superiority doctrine. We will continue to follow this story as more
details emerge. If you want to stay updated on the truth, make sure you are subscribed and have hit the notification bell. Leave a comment down below. Do you
think this strike will force Netanyahu to rethink his war or will he drag the entire region into a deeper abyss because of his own ego? Let me know.
Stay safe. Stay informed and as always, free Palestine.

Welcome back. Before we get into this, I need you to understand the gravity of what we're about to discuss. For weeks,
we've been fed a narrative by Western media outlets and the Israeli propaganda machine about the invincibility of their defense systems. We've been told that Israel's air defense is a multi-layered,
impenetrable fortress. The Iron Dome,
David's Sling, and the Arow system all working in perfect harmony. We've been told that the Israeli Air Force is
untouchable. The undisputed master of the skies over the Middle East. Well,
what happened in the last few hours have shattered that illusion into a million pieces. The skies over southern Israel turned into a battlefield. On March
Iran launched wave after wave of ballistic missiles. And this time, the target wasn't random. It was Neatim air base.
Exposing the sheer arrogance and strategic blindness of Netanyahu's war cabinet. In a stunning, meticulously planned operation, Iran has done what
military analysts in Washington and Tel Aviv claimed was impossible. They penetrated the heart of Israel's most
heavily fortified air base, Nevatim, and delivered a blow so devastating that it has fundamentally altered the balance of
power in this now -week old war. We are talking about the Neatim Air Base, a name that should strike fear into anyone
who understands military strategy. This isn't just any airfield. This is the crown jewel of the Israeli Air Force.
Located deep in the negative desert about km southeast of Beersa, Nadam is the primary home of Israel's most
advanced and lethal assets, the F-I Adir stealth fighter jets. These are the aircraft that Israel has been relying on
to strike deep into Iranian territory to project power across the region and to maintain the qualitative military edge that the West has so generously funded
for decades. The base is a fortress, or so they thought. It's equipped with hardened aircraft hangers, redundant runways, and is surrounded by the most
advanced integrated missile defense network on the planet. To even scratch the paint on a hanger at Nevatim was considered a fantasy by the Israelis.
But last night, fantasy became a nightmare. Iranian missiles,
specifically the hypersonic FATA not only reached the base, but smashed into it with pinpoint accuracy, destroying
hangers. And according to multiple sources now confirming the damage,
taking out as many as F-I fighter jets that were parked on the tarmac.
This is not just a hit. This is a decapitation strike against Israel's air superiority. Before we move forward, if
you are tired of the Western media lying to your face about the strength of the Axis of resistance, if you want to see the truth about the crumbling empire
that is the Zionist entity, then hit that like button right now. Smash it.
Share this video because the algorithm is suppressing this truth. And drop a comment, even if it's just a dot or a to
help push this to the top. We need to overwhelm the censorship. If you haven't already, subscribe to this channel for
honest, uncompromising journalism. We don't carry water for the Pentagon or the Israeli lobby here. We report the facts as they happen. And the facts today are devastating for Tel Aviv.
Let's just sit with that for a second.
F-s. Do you understand what that represents? Each one of these aircraft costs upwards of $to hundmillion.
But it's not just about the money. The F-is the backbone of Netanyahu's strategy to strike Iran. These are the jets he was counting on to fly into
Iranian airspace with impunity. And now they aren't just damaged, they are destroyed. They are burning in their own hangers at the very base that was
supposed to be the safest place for them. This is a psychological blow that goes far beyond the military losses. It
tells the world, it tells Iran, and it tells the Israeli public that there is no safe haven for their war machine. The
narrative that Iran is a paper tiger or that its military infrastructure has been crippled by recent strikes is now
officially dead. It was a lie fabricated by the CIA and Mossad to boost morale and it has been exposed in the most
spectacular fashion possible. So, how did this happen? How did Iran pull this off? This wasn't a lucky shot. This was
a masterclass in asymmetric warfare and technological innovation. The missile used in this specific attack is the Fata
Now pay close attention to this because this is where the Israeli and American military planners completely
miscalculated. The FATA is a hypersonic missile and it represents a paradigm shift in warfare. Unlike the
older slower ballistic missiles that Israel's Arrow and David sling systems are designed to intercept, the FATA
moves at speeds exceeding Mach But speed isn't the only factor. What makes this weapon truly unstoppable is its
flight trajectory. It doesn't just fly in a high predictable parabolic arc. It maneuvers, it glides. It uses a scramjet engine to change direction mid-flight,
making it impossible for radar systems to track it accurately or calculate an intercept point. The Israeli integrated air defense network, which they have
spent billions of dollars perfecting with US support, simply has no counter for this. The Iron Dome is designed for
short- range rockets, not hypersonic missiles. The ARO system, which is supposed to handle high altitude
ballistic threats, relies on predictive algorithms based on ballistic arcs. When the missile starts zigzagging at
hypersonic speeds, those algorithms fail. The result, a % failure rate in interception attempts during this
attack. According to early reports, the missiles that hit Nevitum flew right through the impenetrable wall. This
isn't just a technical failure. It is a complete strategic defeat for the US defense contractors who promised Israel
security. It says that the era of the hypersonic missile is here and the West is woefully tragically unprepared to
defend against it. Now imagine the scene inside the bunker. We've seen the videos circulating on X. the AI generated Lego
clips that are going viral, showing Netanyahu scrambling for cover. And while those are satirical, the reality
is even more damning. While his precious fighter jets were being turned to scrap metal in their hangers, where was
Benjamin Netanyahu? He was hiding. He was in his underground bunker in Jerusalem, the same bunker he runs to
every time a siren goes off, leaving the Israeli public to fend for themselves. This is the man who started this war,
who banged his fist on the table at the UN and promised total victory. And yet for weeks, he has failed to establish air superiority over Iran, over Lebanon,
or even over his own airspace. He promised to dismantle Iran's ability to fire missiles. But today, Iran is firing
with impunity. And the mocking on X is absolutely brutal. You see posts comparing him to a desert rad hiding
underground while Iranian missiles rain down on his air force. The question being asked across the Arab world and
increasingly inside Israel is what was the point of this war? Netanyahu claimed he was fighting to restore deterrence.
But right now deterrence is in ruins. He has failed to stop the rockets from Gaza, failed to stop Hezbollah in the
north, and now his own strategic air base, the symbol of Israeli might, has been gutted by the very power he swore to degrade. The hypocrisy is staggering.
