🇺🇸🇮🇷 CENTCOM just announced they lit up IRGC targets across Iran at 10pm Eastern (minutes ago).

Here’s the official version, cleaned of the usual self congratulation:

At precisely 10:00 PM Eastern on July 29, U.S. Central Command claimed a series of “precision strikes” against dozens of IRGC sites inside Iran — command nodes, missile and drone facilities, coastal radar, and naval assets. They say it was in response to Iranian ballistic missiles launched the previous day at U.S. forces in the region. All those missiles, they insist, were intercepted. More than 50,000 American troops remain on high alert across the Middle East.

The reality is simpler. Iran already told anyone paying attention that any further use of Gulf territory as a launchpad would be treated as participation. Kuwait has allowed itself to become one of those launchpads. If that continues, Kuwaiti soil may not remain sovereign for long. Tehran has the range, the inventory, and the political will to make that a reality. As for the current trajectory Kuwait may well soon find itself as Iranian territory.

Every new round of these strikes tightens the dual strait noose. Hormuz is already running on Iranian forbearance. Bab el-Mandeb is under Yemeni control. Now the Empire is daring the region into a wider fire while its own interceptor stocks and strategic petroleum reserve both run critically low.

Hello $150 oil. Iran will hit back. The only question is how many more “precision” nights the Empire thinks it can afford before the cost arrives at the pump and at the bases that still believe the fairytale they are safe.

A source close to Iran's Ghalibaf says Iran's ballistic missile wave and direct hit on the Muwaffaq Salti Air Base in Jordan tonight was a preemptive strike to neutralize the joint Trump-Netanyahu war plan being discussed at the White House today.

The source adds Iran deceived the US using the ongoing Iran-Oman talks, with the US having thought Oman mediation had reduced Iranian threat and not anticipating this attack.
