🔵 A Reading of the Revolutionary Guard's Recent Statements

The Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) has revealed new aspects of Operation "Nasr 2" through Statements (8 and 9), which can be summarized in three key dimensions:

1. Focus on Defensive Capabilities:
The focus of the operations has shifted from targeting bases to crippling the radar and defense systems of the adversary by destroying "Patriot" and "C-RAM" radars, alongside the drone control center in Bahrain.

2. Political Pressure on Host Countries:
Employing rhetoric directed at the public (as in the case of Jordan) to distinguish between host nations and US forces, aiming to increase political pressure to end the American military presence in the region.
3. Utilizing Victimhood in the Media Narrative:
Invoking the memory of the "Minab" victims and linking them to the crimes in Gaza to frame the operations both militarily and humanitarily, aiming to provide them with moral cover in the eyes of regional public opinion.

📌 Conclusion:
Operation "Nasr 2" is no longer just a military target; rather, it is an offensive campaign that combines neutralizing the opponent's technical capabilities with exerting political pressure on their allies. The confirmation of ongoing operations means the target map is poised to expand.

🚨 Continued Airstrikes on Southern Iran and Lebanon

▪️ In Iran:
The Deputy for Security Affairs in Bushehr Province announced that four locations in the city of Bushehr were subjected to aerial bombardment this afternoon, describing the attack as a "continuation of the truce violation."
The attacks targeted vital areas, including the perimeter surrounding certain activities and military sites, amid the full mobilization of emergency services and security forces.
In a related development, reports indicated that consecutive explosions were heard in the city of Bandar Abbas and other areas in the south of the country. Despite the intensity of the attacks, local authorities confirmed that no casualties have been recorded so far, noting that the situation in Bushehr remains under control.
▪️ In Lebanon:
Aerial bombardment continued on southern Lebanon, where intensive airstrikes targeted the "Zawtar" area in the vicinity of the city of Nabatiyeh, amid continuous overflights by fighter jets in Lebanese airspace, reflecting the expanding scope of regional targeting.

🔴 After 146 days of disruption, the Iranian Parliament resumes its public sessions

After a five-month hiatus due to war conditions, Iranian members of parliament returned to the assembly hall today. The session witnessed the overwhelming approval of the "Emergency Session Convening Plan"—a strategic step granting the presidium the authority to hold sessions virtually or in alternative locations to ensure legislative work continues regardless of security conditions, aiming to avoid a repeat of the parliament's recent "passivity."

📌 Key Outcomes of the Session:

1. Hajibabaei's Position: In a brief speech, the Deputy Speaker of Parliament emphasized absolute loyalty to the leadership and adherence to core principles, framing the recent understanding with America as a result of Washington reaching a dead end.
2. Changes in the "National Security Committee":
The committee saw notable changes, as the most hardline figures regarding negotiations (such as Mr. Mahmoud Nabavian and Ebrahim Rezaei) were removed from their leadership positions within the committee, while Ebrahim Azizi was retained as its chairman.

These moves are interpreted as an attempt to regulate the pace of the parliament and unify the official rhetoric regarding foreign understandings, preparing for a new phase of political work under the umbrella of the state's general policies.

🔴 Al-Zaidi at the White House:

A scene that sums up a lot... with a foolish smile and words seeking approval, Al-Zaidi meets Trump in Washington.

Trump does not hide his happiness with the guest, whom he sees as the "greatest representative" who will place the key to Iraq's oil in his hands, returning to utter his famous phrase,
"We love Iraq."

But in reality, love here has only one face: the love of oil and deals, and nothing else.

🔴 Trump wraps a looting agenda with Al-Zaidi's endorsement: Oil deals on the ruins of sovereignty and justice

Intense statements mapped out a new phase in relations between the two countries, focusing in essence on transitioning from military partnership to economic-oil cooperation, and Baghdad’s stance on Iranian influence.

Economic Partnership and Military Presence

President Trump affirmed his conviction that there is no need for a continued US military presence in Iraq, noting that American oil companies will enter Iraq to extract massive quantities of oil at unprecedented levels, describing this economic cooperation as making
"beautiful music"

between the two countries.

For his part, the Iraqi Prime Minister stressed that the visit aims to shape the future of the relationship beyond just the military aspect, deeming his security forces capable of protecting the country, and emphasizing his commitment to restricting weapons to state control after September 30th.

The Iranian File and the Assassination of Soleimani and Al-Muhandis

President Trump took a sharp stance against Iran, describing it as a
"burden"

on Iraq and a
"bully"

to Middle Eastern nations, pointing out that Iranian military capabilities have significantly declined over the past four months, which reduces Iranian influence in Iraq.

In justifying the assassination of Qasem Soleimani, Trump asserted that he made the decision to eliminate him because Soleimani had complete control over Iran and Tehran's leaders feared him.

Trump referred to Al-Muhandis as a
"very bad guy"

who was with Soleimani at the moment of the strike, describing him as a
"leader."


He asserted that Iran was the one who
"shot first"
in the confrontations that followed, prompting the United States to respond forcefully.

In a notable reaction to the discussion surrounding the martyrdom of Qasem Soleimani and Abu Mahdi al-Muhandis, the Iraqi Prime Minister avoided dwelling on the past, emphasizing his focus on the country's political and economic present and future.

Discussing the costs of the war on terror, he pointed out that Iraq paid a steep and devastating price for its infrastructure during its battles against terrorist organizations, demanding a fair share for Iraq in the oil market.

Relationship Between the Two Leaders

Trump expressed explicit support for the Iraqi Prime Minister, describing him as someone who would become one of the greatest leaders in the Middle East, noting that the United States helped him achieve his position, and that he expects him to remain in power for a long time, while expressing satisfaction with the path Baghdad is taking regarding disarming armed factions.

Several hangars housing weapons, ship and aircraft spare parts belonging to the enemy, as well as stationing platforms for MQ-9 UAVs, were targeted in the third wave.

Public Relations of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC):

🔹 The zealous fighters of the Naval and Aerospace Forces, in the third wave of "Operation Nasr 2" under the slogan "Ya Zayn al-Abidin (AS)," carried out a joint missile and drone operation hours ago. During the operation, they destroyed several hangars housing weapons, ship and aircraft spare parts belonging to the enemy at the "Sheikh Isa" base in Bahrain, and targeted stationing platforms for MQ-9 UAVs at the "Ali Al Salem" base in Kuwait, resulting in the destruction of or damage to several of them.

🔹 These attacks come in response to the aggressions launched this afternoon by the child-killing US occupation military against a number of coastal stations belonging to our armed forces.
🔹 Reciprocation and disciplining the aggressor will continue, and in the event of a repeat of these aggressions, they will face surprise responses.

🔹 As long as American evils persist in the region, not a single drop of oil or gas will be exported from it, and these aggressions will only delay the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz.

"Video | Satellite imagery shows US military aircraft maintenance facility at Al Udeid Air Base in Qatar sustained damage as a result of Iranian strikes." 



Primary Target: Al Udeid Air Base in Qatar is the largest US military asset in the region and hosts CENTCOM’s Combined Air Operations Center (CAOC). 

Verification: Commercial satellite imagery (such as from Soar Atlas) has verified direct kinetic impacts on key US military infrastructure, specifically targeting communications arrays, support facilities, and aircraft maintenance hangars. 
Consequences

Operational Disruption: The damage to aircraft maintenance facilities and critical satellite communications (SATCOM) terminals degrades the immediate logistics and secure communication capabilities of the CAOC. 

Air Defense Vulnerability: Despite the deployment of Patriot and THAAD missile defense systems in the region, the successful penetration of Iranian precision-guided missiles highlights gaps in regional air defenses.

🔥 CHRONICLES OF A FIASCO: How the US "Blockade" of Iran Evaporated Into Panic, Protests, and Air Strikes on CENTCOM

While Washington plays pretend with economic sanctions, the Islamic Republic and its allies are rewriting the military reality on the ground—proving that US steel is no match for regional resolve.
Here is how the battle unfolded over the last crucial hours:

[The Paper Blockade] — July 12, 2026

Washington proudly declares: "We have reinstated the blockade on Iran". A symbolic gesture designed for political theaters, but dead on arrival in the waters of the Persian Gulf.
[Diplomatic Whining] — July 13, 2026
The UK Foreign Office summons the Iranian Chargé d’Affaires following highly effective retaliatory strikes by regional resistance groups. Once again, Europe acts as Washington's diplomatic shield.

[The Paperwork Filed] — July 13, 2026
Iran's Envoy to the UN officially submits a letter documenting 42 clear and material violations of the active Memorandum of Understanding by the United States. Tehran establishes the legal basis before the kinetic response.

[The Strike on Jordan] — Early Morning, July 14, 2026
Boom. The Iranian military launches a precision drone strike targeting a US hangar housing F-18 fighter jets and critical logistical assets at the Muaffaq Salti Air Base (Al-Azraq) in Jordan. A direct message that US bases in the region are sitting ducks.

[Clashes in the Gulf & Hormuz] — Late Afternoon, July 14, 2026
Iranian State TV and local agencies report heavy clashes and exchanges of gunfire in the Strait of Hormuz, the Gulf of Oman, and the eastern waters of Hormozgan and Sirik. The imperial navy tries to assert dominance; they are met with steel.

[Southern Iran on Guard] — Night of July 14, 2026
Sirik & Hengam Island: Air defenses activate around the Bushehr Nuclear Power Plant. Strikes successfully target a maritime border guard center in Sirik, with explosions heard as far as Hengam Island.

Chabahar & Bampur: Conflicting reports emerge as Fars News reports explosions in Sistan and Baluchestan, while Tasnim security officials quickly clarify: "No explosions in Chabahar." Iran's command remains calm, calculated, and securely in control.

[Trump’s Verbal Retreat] — Night of July 14, 2026
Staring at the economic abyss, Donald Trump retreats: "I ordered not to strike Iran's oil facilities to avoid impacting the global economy." Translation: We are terrified of $150-a-barrel oil. He weakly adds, "We may target it later if we have to."

[The Obsession with "Jabal al-Fas"] — Night of July 14, 2026
Terrified of Iran's deep-underground nuclear fortifications, Trump rants: "We are monitoring the Jabal al-Fas site... we have weapons that can reach great depths.".

[OVERNIGHT & MORNING ESCALATION: "ENERGY FOR ALL OR FOR NO ONE"] — Late Night July 14 – Morning July 15, 2026
Trump's desperate threats: Trump takes to Fox News, threatening to strike Iran's civilian power plants and bridges next week if Tehran does not capitulate. 

The Wave 3 Response (07:00 - 09:00, July 15): In a massive, coordinated joint missile and drone assault under "Operation Nasr 2", IRGC and regular forces strike back: 

Bahrain: IRGC targets the US Fifth Fleet Command-and-Control and logistics infrastructure. Air raid sirens wail across Bahrain. 

Kuwait: Direct cruise missile hits smash into the US military logistics center at Mina Abdullah and MQ-9 UAV platforms at Ali Al Salem Air Base
Jordan: Another wave of precision strikes targets US assets in Jordan. 

The Strategic Warning: The IRGC issues a chilling warning to global energy markets: as long as the US blockade remains, not a single drop of regional oil or gas will be exported. The Strait of Hormuz will remain sealed. 

The Bottom Line: Washington can bluster on television, but their bases are burning, their allies are crying to the UN, and their president is terrified of touching Iranian oil. The Persian Gulf remains Persian.

In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful
🔴 Statement..

{“O you who have believed, fight those adjacent to you of the disbelievers and let them find in you harshness. And know that Allah is with the righteous.”} [Surah At-Tawbah: 123]

We have closely followed the events of the meeting between the criminal American President and the Iraqi Prime Minister. During this session, the criminal spoke of his crime—the assassination of the two great leaders, Haj Qasem Soleimani and Haj Abu Mahdi al-Muhandis, at Baghdad Airport—questioning whether he had done the Prime Minister a favor by this act. The response from the latter was that he was
"weary of the past."

This scene compels us to expose the true reality of this visit and to declare our unwavering, fundamental principles:

First: This scene clearly demonstrates this criminal’s fear of the consequences of the crimes he committed against himself, and of their repercussions, especially within Iraq and by the proud, free Iraqi people.

Second: We wish to remind this official—who is new to politics and currently holds the title of Iraqi Prime Minister—that whoever evades the glorious past of his country severs his connection to his nation's roots. He whose past is a path of falsehood is unfit to lead the future.

Third: We have not forgotten, and we will never forget, our vengeance. The heavier this criminal’s crimes weigh upon him, the more resolute we become in seeking retribution—relying first upon the resistance fighters in Iraq, and second upon the sons of the Islamic nation (Ummah).

We pledge to our beloved father, and to the thousands of martyr leaders and innocents of this nation—foremost among them all, our leader and the guardian of the Muslims’ affairs, His Eminence the Martyr Leader, Sayyid Ali Khamenei, and his rightful successor, His Eminence Sayyid Mojtaba Khamenei—that even if we are unable to bear arms, we will drown this criminal and his lackeys in America, the region, and Iraq with our own blood.

Furthermore, it has become blatantly clear to everyone that this visit served two primary objectives:

1. Dismantling the Popular Mobilization Forces (PMF / Al-Hashd al-Sha'abi) as an ideological force that—by virtue of its formation, existence, and history—confronts the forces of arrogance (Ar-Stikbar) and their tools; this serves as a continuation of the path that began with the assassination of the PMF commander, Abu Mahdi al-Muhandis.

2. Seizing control of Iraq's oil wealth.
Accordingly, we assert that the rhetoric surrounding the necessity of dismantling the resistance and surrendering weapons under the banner of "restricting arms to the state" is an unacceptable American-Zionist narrative, regardless of who utters it.
We also stress the necessity of resisting and confronting the economic presence that seeks to plunder our wealth, just as we resist their military presence with all our might.
And the ultimate outcome is for the righteous.
