🇺🇸🇮🇷 The US just struck Iranian territory tonight. The whole ceasefire theater keeps getting exposed. Manipulating markets and no offramp are the reality.

Explosions tore across Qeshm Island and the coast at Bandar Abbas as American forces hammered what they called launch sites. Air defenses lit up the night sky over western Tehran in response, while an unidentified object was tracked and engaged in the darkness above Sirik right at the mouth of the Strait of Hormuz.

But according to Iranian reporting, Washington fired the first shot, attacking an Iranian oil tanker moving through waters the empire has tried but failed to illegally choke off.

The IRGC answered the way a sovereign power defends itself: missiles slammed into American warships in the Strait. Only after taking those hits did the U.S. escalate again with direct strikes on Iranian soil.

This is how the empire keeps restarting the very war it claims it wants to end. One illegal blockade which is a porous farce, one tanker hit, one act of aggression after another and all while pretending Iran is the problem.

Tehran of course didn’t flinch. It responded with speed and force, then stood its ground when the counter punch came.

The owners of the Gulf have made it crystal clear for years: these waters belong to them, not to distant fleets trying to redraw the map with illegal wars of aggression that only serve Israeli interests.

Natural consequences don’t negotiate with blockades or ceasefire theater. They answer with resolve and Iran has plenty of both.
