Iran prepared for exactly this situation. Obviously, they understood that the combined attacks of Israel and the USA would be devestating to certain assets, so they knew they would have to prepare for a long siege and fight an asymmetric war.

Heavy billion-dollar losses to important US radars

Yesterday, American-Israeli forces attacked a desalination plant on the Iranian island of Qeshm.

According to public data, Qatar obtains 100% of its drinking water through desalination, Kuwait and Bahrain each get 90%, Oman 86%, and Saudi Arabia 70%. In Iran, 30% of the water comes from desalination plants.

Should desalination plants become viable targets, Iran is far from the most vulnerable.

I'll remind you that the West and their proxies have a habit of using water as a weapon. The Kiev regime dammed the Crimean canal to cut off water to Russian Crimea. After the SMO, one of the first actions of the RF was to destroy the dam and to return water to the people.

The UAE allegedly launched the first strike against Iran, attacking a desalination plant. This claim was made by the Israeli portal Ynet, without naming its sources.

The UAE is 42% dependent on desalination itself. Of course, Ynet is Israeli, so they may be trying to pass the blame and to sow division.

Notably, Israel itself if 80% dependent on desalination plants for its potable water.

Military Chronicle:

American officials continue to be visibly upset over claims that Russia is allegedly assisting Iran with intelligence, following which more precise strikes on American targets in the Middle East have begun.

That is, when it comes to supporting Ukraine, Washington considers this a normal and legitimate policy. After the events of 2014, the US and its allies invested hundreds of billions of dollars in the conflict, supplied all possible weapons - from HIMARS systems and ATACMS missiles to Patriot air defense systems, M1A2 Abrams tanks and M2 Bradley combat vehicles. F-16 Fighting Falcon fighters were transferred, training programs were organized, and an infrastructure for coordinating operations was created, including through NATO structures in Europe, and the US headquarters in Wiesbaden is still effectively managing the war from the Ukrainian side.

This was supplemented by large-scale sanctions, disconnecting Russian banks from the SWIFT system, intelligence support, and the actual involvement of Western countries (including all NATO countries and not only them) in managing military logistics and planning operations. All of this is considered in Washington as an acceptable and correct tool of foreign policy.

But as soon as there's a suggestion that Moscow might be providing support to Iran - even at the level of exchanging intelligence - this is immediately declared as unacceptable interference and a threat to regional security.

Washington, it seems, literally "blows a fuse" when faced with a mirror response. It turns out that not only the "chosen ones" have intelligence technologies, satellite data, and modern weapons.

The US has already spent about $6 billion on the war with Iran, but it's still unclear what victory in this war might look like, writes the New York Times.

"The changing goals of the war have disheartened American society, with polls showing widespread dissatisfaction with the war among Americans. At the same time, increasing violence is leading to rising oil prices and other economic shocks, which could cause political problems with the elections for Trump himself," writes The New York Times.

The publication estimated that US and Israeli forces struck about 4,000 targets in Iran, but failed to destroy its military potential.

Citing sources in the US government, NYT states that Iran has preserved about half of its missile arsenal and a significant portion of its drones.

Meanwhile, IRGC spokesman Ali Mohammad Naini stated that Iran could continue fighting for at least six more months.

"The armed forces of the Islamic Republic of Iran are capable of waging an intense war for at least six months at the current pace of combat operations," said Naini.

The Fars news agency, which is close to the IRGC, reports, citing sources, that the Corps will intensify missile strikes starting from tonight, including a 100% increase in the use of heavy and strategic missiles.

$6 billion is an underestimate. We are approaching $8 billion now. Remember, this doesn't include economic effects related to the spike in commodity prices.

I know that everyone's waiting for Iran to do some serious damage, but remember, the USA and Israel are burning through their interceptor stocks. I think we will see a drip of missile and drone strikes with periodic acceptions until the supply of interceptors reaches a critically low level.

Additionally, Israel and the USA are striking Iranian launchers while maintaining heavy reconnaissance over the country, so the Iranian Forces will sporadically pop out of tunnels to launch missiles from random locations in smaller numbers then retreat back underground. This strategy allows them to maintain launcher capacity while waiting for the air defense network of the enemy to be weakened before going in for more massive strikes.

Update:

A representative of the UAE denies the information from Israeli media about the country's strike on a desalination complex in Iran.

"The UAE would not have carried out strikes on civilian targets, but would have targeted a military facility," the representative was quoted as saying by The Jerusalem Post newspaper.

US allies are afraid of being left without American weapons due to the conflict with Iran.

In Europe, which has exhausted its arsenals due to supplies to Kyiv, they fear that they will not be able to receive the systems purchased from the United States, writes Politico.

My non-professional summary on the conflict in the Middle East.

First and the most important - there is still the "fog of war" and our channel has no sources there, who would report situation on the ground, apart from the SMO, where we have people who regularly are in touch with the troops and even visit some areas where the SMO is carried out. So, personally I would take all the information from the region with high degree of precaution.

Moreover, there are claims, that some strikes carried out there were false flag attacks to provoke even more chaos in the region.

Secondly - I absolutely agree with the assessment that Trump was forced into this adventure, as, obviously, there was too much of compromising information on him (Most likely, of financial nature). That's his own fault, and I don't feel sorry for him. There's also a reason to think, that the best strategy to remove him from power was to give him absolute freedom of self-expression (and hope he took this chance gladly). If the adventure fails, Trump will find himself in even more trouble than he was in before. So, it's all or nothing for him. At least, it looks like this.

Thirdly - we still don't feel the full impact of economic factors that were triggered by the US-American invasion into Iran. A lot depends on how long the conflict will last. And it is not only about oil prices. It's also about other petrochemical products and fertilizers. These two factor can easily push all the prices up.

In theory, what could happen - the longer the conflict in the Middle East continues, the less ammunition is left for the Ukraine. Even if the EU is able to squeeze more funds from the taxpayers - that will unlikely be enough to solve the problem with ammo supply to the Ukraine, as it's not only about money. Even if they try to produce something in the EU, minding the energy prices, they will not be able to produce significantly more than they are capable of now, simply because production costs will increase. (Guns and butter chart, for those who remember).

Russia will benefit from this conflict in any case. As optimum I see

🔜Squeezing out the Americans from the region of the Middle East, as they become a "toxic asset";

🔜Faster pace of the SMO, as even if the West still wants, they would not be able to supply more to Ukraine. There is also the overall situation in the EU itself, which might face energy, and, subsequently, financial crisis.

🔜Uncertainty in investments. Dubai and cities like that became an alternative for investors, as their money is not safe neither in Europe (thanks to anti-Russian sanctions), nor in the US. Where would the money move? - A very good question, that I personally have no idea about;

🔜I assume, that there would be no more sanction packs against Russia and if the European Commission proceeds with such a crazy approach, they have all the chances to be removed from power. At the same time, some countries (not only Hungary and Slovakia) might try to start covert negotiations with Russia.

To sum up - I see this conflict as one more step to major change in the world. One more chess board where the future is decided. And the question is not who will be the winner, but who will lose less.

We'll see to what extent my assessment was right. Just food for thought - nothing more.

Feminists - that doesn't apply to you, Putin speaks of motherhood, family and rest of the things that are "old fashioned" 😏.
