🈁The last thing that can be said about Iran.

There can be an endless and limitless number of anti-Iranian operations with colorful names. "Epic Rage", "Grapes of Wrath", "Thor's Hammer", "Timely Punishment"... Hell, even "Premature Ejaculation".

But all of this will end when one of two things happens:

- The Iranian regime falls and those who suit the US and Israel come to power;
- Iran obtains nuclear weapons.

And if the Iranian leadership wants to survive in this cruel world and preserve its state in its current form, the issue of creating nuclear weapons should, of course, be the most important thing in the world for them.

Because no Security Council resolutions, anyone's guarantees and assurances, beautiful promises, and so on - will protect Iran in any way. But nuclear weapons can. But for now, Iran doesn't have them.

Against the backdrop of everything happening in Iran, the UAE, and Israel, it's interesting to look at the flight map

Right now, the only plane flying over Iran is heading from Surgut to Dubai 😄

In Dubai, there are huge kilometre-long queues of cars waiting to exit the cities.

In Abu Dhabi, explosions were again heard near the city's main airport.

"Last year the US launched up to 150 THAAD missiles to protect Israel (Zin: In a period of 12 days). Since the system was put into operation around 2010, less than 650 such systems have been ordered. Washington could 'easily' exhaust its 'annual supply' of critical defensive ammunition in just one or two days of operations, 'if Iran were able to launch several large missile salvoes and drone strikes' against American troops and Israel,' said Stacie Pettyjohn, director of the defense program at the Center for a New American Security think tank," writes the FT.

By acting as the world’s primary armory for high-intensity conflicts in Ukraine and the Middle East, the U.S. has recklessly hollowed out its own defenses, reportedly burning through up to 50% of its THAAD interceptors and a third of its SM-3 naval missiles. This isn't just a logistical oversight; it is the inevitable result of a strategy that treats limited, high-tech munitions as if they were infinite, leaving the domestic front vulnerable to satisfy the demands of proxy battles and overseas entrenchment.

The proposed solution to this self-inflicted crisis is a massive windfall for the military-industrial complex, funneling billions of taxpayer dollars into the pockets of defense giants like Lockheed Martin and Raytheon. Under the guise of "national security," the government is shifting toward a war-footing economy, aiming to triple or quadruple production rates for Patriot and THAAD systems. This "Acquisition Transformation Strategy" effectively ensures that the American public remains tethered to a permanent arms-production cycle, where the primary goal is not peace, but the continuous replenishment of expensive hardware destined to be spent in foreign theaters.

Even with this aggressive surge in production, the U.S. remains trapped in a three-to-eight-year recovery hole that highlights the sheer insanity of current escalation cycles. This would also require a long cessation of hostilities to allow the United States to rebuild stockpiles. Because of the specialized nature of rocket motors and advanced electronics, the Pentagon cannot simply "buy" its way out of this deficit overnight. This multi-year vulnerability exposes the fundamental flaw in American hegemony: the U.S. has overextended its reach so far that it can no longer manufacture weapons fast enough to sustain its support fot its pet projects around the globe.

Geran231:

Given what's happening, the US and Israel are targeting government residences in Iran. Does this imply that we should also attack buildings in Kyiv? Is that acceptable now?

We are ready. Give the go-ahead

Update from Military Chronicle:

Judging by these shots, the Iranians managed to hit the UAE General Staff building in Abu Dhabi with their ballistic missiles. The Sail Tower building is clearly visible in the frame, and traces of the missile strikes can be seen in the background. According to another version, the missiles hit the Al Bateen airfield, but judging by the angle of the video, the strikes occurred in the area of the UAE General Staff complex, as the airport is located slightly to the right of the place where the Iranian ballistic missiles presumably landed.

"Israel sabotaged the negotiating process between the USA and Iran."

Well, something tells me they didn't have to try very hard with Trump in charge.

I can't say that I'm shocked...

Telegram channels report that Saudi Arabia and the UAE have allegedly declared war on Iran and are joining the strikes against it.

They cite a Saudi statement, but the statement itself does not mention a declaration of war. It merely condemns Iran's strikes on Gulf countries and warns of "serious consequences of violating international law".

There is also no mention of a declaration of war in the recent statement by the UAE regarding Iranian strikes. It merely says that the country "reserves the right to respond to the escalation".

In reality, the Gulf countries, despite their tough statements, are likely to refrain from drastic steps until it becomes clear which side is gaining the upper hand. And based on this, they will determine their final position.

At the same time, it is obvious that a prolonged war in the Persian Gulf would be disastrous for the countries of the region, as it could potentially collapse their oil exports and "bankrupt them."

АДЕКВАТ Z writes, Oil is up by three percent a day. Diplomats are being evacuated from Israel, Iran, and Iraq, and many countries are urgently recommending that everyone else there should also evacuate immediately and not meddle in the situation, even if…
Of course, as АДЕКВАТ Z predicted, this would happen on a Saturday to insulate Trump's approval rating from the shock to global markets. We will see what the reported price of oil is Monday...

Sometimes it's better to chew than talk, unfortunately, these neo-feminists don't know in which direction the kitchen is and how to cook the soup. Someone must tell her, I guess.

Geran Chronicles:

The "idle" center of the US 5th Fleet is burning fiercely.

Zin Note: The fleet is charged with protecting three of the world's most critical maritime "chokepoints": the Strait of Hormuz, the Suez Canal, and the Bab al-Mandeb.

Update: I believe the first image is from Doha and the video is from Bahrain. The 5th Fleet is in Bahrain while CENTCOM is headquartered in Doha.
