War On Iran: “And then? What?”
Trump’s latest outburst, intended to cool the market, issued about an hour ago:
The United States of America is in serious discussions with A NEW, AND MORE REASONABLE, REGIME to end our Military Operations in Iran. Great progress has been made but, if for any reason a deal is not shortly reached, which it probably will be, and if the Hormuz Strait is not immediately “Open for Business,” we will conclude our lovely “stay” in Iran by blowing up and completely obliterating all of their Electric Generating Plants, Oil Wells and Kharg Island (and possibly all desalinization plants!), which we have purposefully not yet “touched.” This will be in retribution for our many soldiers, and others, that Iran has butchered and killed over the old Regime’s 47 year “Reign of Terror.” Thank you for your attention to this matter.
President DONALD J. TRUMP

From the latest War Update by Hamidreza Azizi:
Iranian planning is no longer centered on absorbing strikes but on shaping the battlefield in advance. A concept described as “preemptive destruction” is emerging, involving continuous targeting of U.S. bases, logistics hubs, and staging areas in countries such as Kuwait and Bahrain to disrupt any potential ground or heliborne operation before it can be executed.

“In the name of God, the most gracious, the most merciful
On the 50th anniversary of Earth Day: Our people are rooted in their land, and will remain steadfast, defending it by all means, until all their rights are taken away, and their aspirations for liberation and return are achieved.
The fiftieth anniversary of Eternal Earth Day this year comes after more than two years of a war of extermination, starvation, ethnic cleansing, and attempts at forced displacement to which our people in the Gaza Strip were subjected. Its dangerous repercussions continue to include all aspects of human life there, and in light of the fascist occupation government’s escalation of crimes of settlement, annexation, Judaization, and displacement in the West Bank and occupied Jerusalem, and the continued closure of the blessed Al-Aqsa Mosque, and its grave violations against prisoners, in aggression and crime. It reveals the nature of this Zionist enemy, which violates all international norms, conventions, and divine laws, and has become a real threat to the security and stability of the region and the world.
Our people commemorate this immortal memory, on the thirtieth of March of every year, to remember the spark that was ignited in the year 1976 AD by the masses of our people in the Triangle, Galilee, and Negev in our lands occupied in 1948 AD, in response to the policy of settlement encroachment, and in resistance to the occupation policy of displacement and deportation, so that this memory becomes a comprehensive national symbol for promoting unity, struggle, and resistance, and a landmark from which generations will be inspired by the spirit of sacrifice. The challenge and insistence on clinging to the land and confronting the aggression, until the occupation is defeated and removed from our land.
On the fiftieth anniversary of Earth Day, we have mercy on the souls of our righteous martyrs, we ask God Almighty to heal our wounded, we send a greeting of loyalty to our free prisoners, we salute our great, patient people stationed in the Gaza Strip, in the West Bank, in Jerusalem, in the occupied interior, in refugee camps and in the diaspora, and we send a message of pride and pride to all those stationed on the borders of the homeland and those standing on their land, and we pledge to them to continue the path Adhering to the constants and defending our land and our sanctities until they are liberated and return to them is achieved.
We confirm the following:
– The crimes of the Zionist enemy against our people, our land, and our Islamic and Christian sanctities will not be subject to a statute of limitations, nor will it establish a right or legitimacy for it, and at the same time it will not break the will of our people and discourage them from continuing the path of struggle, steadfastness, and adherence to rights and principles.
Enabling our people to cling to their land and live in it freely and independently, and to defend it by all means, is not a favor from anyone, but rather a legitimate right as guaranteed by international conventions to get rid of the most dangerous ongoing criminal occupation in the world.
The occupation plans, crimes of land theft, settlement encroachment, and the displacement of our people will not succeed in changing the facts of history and reality, and obliterating the features of the Palestinian land.
– We reiterate that we will not give up or give up an inch of the land of Palestine, and our people will remain steadfast, defending it by all means, until all their rights are taken away, and their aspirations for liberation and return are achieved.
– The city of Jerusalem and the blessed Al-Aqsa Mosque were and will remain the crown jewel of our blessed historical land, and the occupation will not have any sovereignty or legitimacy over any part of it, and we will protect and defend them, whatever the sacrifices.
– The return of refugees to their land from which they were forcibly displaced by the Zionist occupation is a right and duty, both individually and collectively, which no one has the right to give up or neglect, and we renew our categorical rejection of all settlement projects and alternative homelands.
– We renew our call for our Arab and Islamic nation to join hands and unite in confronting and thwarting all the colonial plans and goals of the Zionist entity that go beyond the borders of Palestine and threaten the security, stability and unity of our nation.
We call on the free people of the world to strengthen all forms of solidarity and support for our people’s just cause and legitimate struggle, to isolate the racist, fascist Zionist entity, to criminalize its terrorism and to prosecute its leaders, all the way to ending the occupation, empowering our people with freedom, independence and self-determination, and establishing the independent Palestinian state with Jerusalem as its capital.
Mercy for the martyrs, a speedy recovery for the wounded, and near freedom for the prisoners and detainees. It is a jihad of victory or martyrdom.
