News & views related to the war on Iran …

Comments

Militarywatchmagazine has a new article confirms that, yes, Iran will be getting Russian military aircraft (and when they get them they will have trained pilots to fly them).

The Russian Komsomolsk-on-Amur Aviation Plant has completed the production of 20 Su-35 fighter aircraft ordered by the Iranian Air Force … It is possible that Su-35s will begin to arrive in Iran in 2026, with some sources reporting that damage to infrastructure at Hamadan Air Base is a primary factor preventing the aircraft from being moved to Iran. Engineering units are reported to currently be working on the reconstruction.

And l2 used Su-30SM2 fighter aircraft will be delivered second hand from mid-2027. With 2030 being a date attached to any Su-57s. // Overall mil-watch is fairly impressed.
 
I have not read enough to understand Iran’s networking plans. e.g. Chinese radar with Russian aircraft. Nor do I have even a guess why Iran did not buy Chinese military aircraft instead of Russian. Like their ally Pakistan is.

What a horrible, Westernised website al Jazeerah is. 
According to Al Jazeerah:
‘But Lebanon’s President said on Friday that the framework deal with Israel “does not legitimise the continued Israeli occupation of Lebanon”, but instead empowers the Lebanese army to extend its authority across the country’s territory’
 
In what parallel , fantasy dimension do Al Jazeerans abide?

“I don’t think people realise what we’re witnessing right now. Perhaps those behind their phone screens who are not in Tehran may never understand, but the atmosphere here is crazy.

People are coming to Tehran from all over the world; from Russia, Brazil, Norway, Germany, … to attend the farewell ceremony for Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, the martyred leader of Iran.

Many from Tehran have made their homes available to visitors and many are on the streets with their own money giving people services such as free tea, food, … many are volunteering.

Million, and I truly say MILLIONS are coming in and out the Prayer hall to pay their respects to the martyred leader.

The surrounding areas OUTSIDE the prayer hall were PACKED and filled with people this morning during the prayers, thankfully with no incidents.

A family member of mine is among the volunteers inside the prayer hall helping who’s been sleeping there since friday and has not left the area.

Many people (that I personally know as well) who never attended a public march, decided to attend this one for the love of their leader.

The magnitude of this event is beyond any words honestly.”

“After a thousand days of extermination war… Ismail Al-Thawabta, Director General of the Government Media Office in Gaza:

▪️The occupation bombed the Al-Mawasi area 241 times, despite claiming that it was a safe area, and dropped more than 232 thousand tons of explosives on the Gaza Strip.

▪️The occupation erased more than 2,000 families from the civil registry, while thousands of people remain missing under the rubble of homes.

▪️More than 21,500 children and 12,000 women were martyred, including 1,022 infants under the age of one year, and 520 children who were born and martyred during the war.

▪️ The occupation killed 1,700 health personnel, 262 journalists, 145 civil defense personnel, 194 municipal employees, and 2,800 policemen.

▪️The occupation destroyed and put 38 hospitals and 46 health centers out of service, leading to a major collapse in the health system.

▪️More than 20,000 male and female students, 830 teachers, and 194 academics were martyred during the war.

▪️ The occupation prevented 22,000 wounded and sick people from traveling for treatment outside the Gaza Strip, including 5,200 children in need of urgent medical evacuation.

▪️The occupation stole more than 2,700 bodies after exhuming the graves, while 529 martyrs were buried in mass graves inside Gaza hospitals.”

Democrats and #joe prepared the path for MAGA and #Don2
 

In late February 2025, the U.S. Defense Security Cooperation Agency sent an official notification to Congress regarding a new deal with Israel. The agreement includes massive bulldozers manufactured by Caterpillar known in Hebrew as Dubi or “Teddy Bear.” Some of these machines are to be specially armored or modified for remote, driverless use, similar to the “Panda” version developed by the Israeli military and introduced into service in 2018.
 
Valued at approximately $300 million, the deal was not presented as “war materiel” but as “engineering equipment,” which eased its passage under U.S. arms export laws. The U.S. State Department even designated it as an “emergency case,” thereby exempting it from the usual congressional review process and clearing the way for Israel to receive the equipment by 2027 without political barriers.

Iran’s funeral diplomacy: The Quran verses that ranked allies, rivals and sent Saudi Arabia a message

 
When the Saudi delegation stepped forward to pay respects at the coffin of the late Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei in Tehran’s Grand Mosalla, the Quran recitation that followed did not go unnoticed.
The verse was Al Imran 3:13, the passage describing the Battle of Badr, where a vastly outnumbered and poorly equipped Muslim force routed a much larger army “by the will of God”. It was a clear reference to what many are increasingly calling Iran’s victory over the US and Israel in their war on the country.
 

Looking for a full county by country list – saw it quoted as a tweet on a video, but not on X so cannot find.

Middle East Eye:
 
Israel expects the US-led “Board of Peace” to conclude within the next two to three months that Hamas has violated the agreement by refusing to disarm. Such a ruling could pave the way for Israel to renew raids in parts of Gaza outside their current control, raising the prospect of renewed fighting, the report said.
 
Channel 12 also quoted a political source as saying the board’s director-general, Nikolay Mladenov, had considered declaring Hamas in breach of the agreement two months ago but postponed the move at the request of mediators.

⚡Windward: IRGC Vessels Divert 6 Ships from the Omani Route in the Strait of Hormuz. 
 
Windward reported that since yesterday, 2 ships have changed course from the so-called “Omani corridor” to the route towards Iran, and 4 ships have returned to the Persian Gulf.  
 
Yesterday, Bloomberg reported that 8 ships intended to pass through the route supported by the United States, but suddenly changed course, with some using the Iranian route; this was also confirmed by satellite images. 
 
Now, Windward says that these course changes coincide with the presence of IRGC patrol boats, and the IRGC Navy issues radio warnings to ships that use a route other than the safe Iranian route.

Other than IDF air strikes and tank fire……the CAT D9 Armored Bulldozer is the most destructive weapon in the IDF inventory of mass murder equipment.
 
The D9’s, manufactured in East Peoria, Il have been used to destroy whole apartment blocks in Gaza and the West Bank and whole villages in South Lebanon.  They are used to dig mass graves to hide the remains of civilians murdered by the IDF, they were even used to bury the remains of paramedics and firefighters murdered during an IDF ambush of emergency personnel.
 
The D9’s are now the preferred weapon of destruction of Gaza and Lebanese roads, water, and sewer systems, and they were even photographed destroying a civilian solar power system in South Lebanon.  They are now an instrument of death and war criminality.

For all the Americans brave talk of having “opened the Strait”, as far as I can determine, so far, flows through the Strait have averaged – at best – about one-third of the pre-war normal. (And even that is counting a lot of Iranian oil that is going to China.) That would mean that every three days, the ‘energy cliff’ gets two days closer. So, even with the Strait ‘open’ we’re probably only two weeks from tank bottoms somewhere crucial. Until the Strait is well and truly open, all the MOU has done is delay the inevitable by a few weeks. Am I missing something here?

Re Russian aircrafts vs Chinese. 
 
I can only speculate that the reason will be manufacturing rights. Iran will be insisting on being able to produce all necessary parts for sustaining the fleet based on its pass experience with sanctions crippling its war efforts. The Russians are very good at granting rights to foreign buyers. 
 
I suspect the Chinese J17 rights already belong to Pakistan. Plus this a/c is too small for Iran’s purposes.

Iran is getting badly needed cash to rebuild.  China is getting oil to help SE Asia not go under.  US and Iran are gearing up for round 3.  At the same time, the US is provoking Russia into striking back at NATO.
 
Conjecture:  the US has decided that US / Europe / Israel vs Russia / Iran is the best strategy moving forward.  The US and Europe continue to decline, so things will just get worse for both if nothing is done.
 
Personally, I think we will get creamed.  But Americans believe that Russia is losing to “Ukraine”, as if massive amounts of US and European aid has not been delivered over the years.  And Americans also believe that once the US puts it mind to it, Iran will be a piece of cake.

“is hamas disarming right now, except for small arms ?”

No. Under the ceasefire agreement discussion of disarmament and governance was to take place after a first phase of end to hostilities and entry of food, both of which have not occurred. Instead the ‘Board of Peace’ was created, sidelining Hamas and now inventing that Hamas had agreed to disarm, presumably as pretext for an attempt to take full control of Gaza, that is the territory beyond ‘yellow line’, by force.

@37 Ornot

“disarmament and governance was to take place after a first phase of end to hostilities and entry of food, both of which have not occurred”

Note, attacks by “Israel” have been continuous on Hamas governed Gaza, although less than before the ceasefire. Food and other goods have only partially been allowed in, much less than what was agreed under the ceasefire arrangement. Those have been used as a tool of punishment (denial of entry when tensions were raised, i.e. regarding regional events) , as well as at times being chanelled to black market to undermine Hamas. For example, at one point those due to receive and distribute goods officially were simply bombed as they waited for arrival of goods.

Currently discussions exist on form of future administration, but disarmament is not on the table as far as Hamas is concerned (at least so far).

Let it be known:
1/ Trump and his poodles plan to send troops in Lebanon to fight Hezbollah (repeating Reagan’s mistake of the 1980’s)
Trump’s Plan to Send Troops to Disarm Hezbollahhttps://anotherdayintheempire.substack.com/p/trumps-plan-to-send-troops-to-disarm
I wish him and his French lackeys the same that happened to the 250 US soldiers who died there in 1983.
2/ The same poodles, UK and France pretend o have made a ‘deal’ with Oman to patrol the Hormuz Strait( on the Oman side ) to ‘facilitate the traffic’. LOL ! Iran has already warned them to stay away and that the IRGC will use force if need be.
Of course, this is an attempt to help their boss Trump to keep the blockade on behalf of their jewish masters. (I would love to see few Brits & frog ships at the bottom of the sea).
3/ The MoU goes nowhere since Lebanon is still under israeli occupation and bombed everyday with the help of the traitor Aoun puppet regime and a total absence of retaliation from Hezbollah.
So, either Iran has decided to sit on article 1 of the MoU, or has abandoned Lebanon or is being screwed again by the zionist states of amerdica.
The fact is, Iran got nothing except the ‘right’ to sell its own petrol: the US army and navy are still there, more to come, the Hormuz is open and yet the price of oil is still artificially kept high in the west (because this is the real agenda), Lebanon is under invasion and Hezbollah defeated again.
It’s not a MoU but a FoU…
Of course, while they try to distract us with their rigged world cup (as genuine as a match of wrestling, but morons care only about bread and circus), the genocides in Gaza, the West Bank, Lebanon and the invasion of Syria continue:

The UK RN can not even patrol the English Channel much less the Straits of Hormusz…………only 5 operational frigates, and all attack subs in the dock for repairs…..forced to send out RFA supply ships on patrol….its two CV carriers unable to leave port without US escort due to the severe RN shortage of combat ships…..
 
The RN is a sad joke……..and no threat at this point…..ignore them…..

🙂 Where do we place the stopwatch count on the MoU(E) talks? Are we at least over a week into these negotiations? And do we pause that counter for Ayatollah Khameini’s funeral? I ask because I still suspect these “negotiations” will take longer than the actual 60 days of ceasefire and oil flow this MoU(E) is supposed to be about.
 
😉 No, I don’t have any snackbar stakes bet upon it. I’m just curious.

I think it suits both sides to play for time.
 
I suspect Iran will be ready for round two sooner than the US. Trump probably wants to wait until after the mid-terms, Bibi probably wants to attack before the Entity’s elections take place.
 
60 days seems optimistic.

I believe we can all safely assume the MoU talks, just like the Alaska Spirit was all just a play for time by the Yankees. No doubt there were many skeptics on both the Russian and Iranian sides who played along for their own reasons.
 
Those reasons I suspect is for the global audiences and not domestic. Both Russia and Iran have abided by UN conventions in the entire time.
 
Alistair Crooke has explained in detail both for both on Daniel Davis’ Deep Dive a couple a days ago.
 
With Hormuz firmly under Iranian control again and Russia’s unrelenting push to liberate the entire Donbas and now within artillery distance to Sumy , I suspect things will get hot sooner rather than later.
 
Other hot spot to watch for is Yemen. Ansar Allah have moved against the Saudi backed forces and threaten to strike Saudi targets.

Mario Nawfal is the subject of multiple serious fraud allegations, including accusations of orchestrating a $7 million rug pull involving the ROSS meme coin, embezzlement, and operating fraudulent investment schemes.  As of mid-2026, he faces reported investigations by the FBI and SEC following complaints from former employees and investors regarding financial misconduct and tax evasion. Despite Nawfal’s claims of an “impeccable record,” multiple sources describe him as a “high-risk actor” with ties to offshore entities in Panama and Belize, raising significant anti-money laundering (AML) concerns for potential business partners.”

In his favor is that he was invited to China when the Judge and Larry Johnson were invited there……trust but verify….too soon to tell his social/economic/political/illegal trajectory, eh?  One also has to say that he is working hard at being relevant.

Jermy states that the absence of strategic thinking by the EU led to defeats in Iraq, Afghanistan, Lybia, Syria and Ukraine. What he does not want to admit is that the cause of their absence of thinking is greed and corruption. Focused only on making money and see their children have a good carreer.

The reason why I question Brian Berletic’s analysis about Iran being a stepping stone  on the way to attacking China , is not because I don’t think USUKIS isn’t mad enough to attack Iran for this reason.
 
It is Manifest Destiny inc.’s stated objective to reach control all the way to the Pacific.
 
The reason why USUKIS have made this decision to make the Entirety of the Asian Continent its target, in spite of being unable to defeat step one,  Hamas , is because of USUKIS relationship with Saudi Arabia and Political Islam.
 
USUKIS have neither the means nor ambition to fight their way to the Pacific. 
But the scholars of the Qur’an, who understand that in the half century after Islam was founded,  had spread Islam both East and West , by sheer good governance.
 
People were so disgusted by Christian Politics of Greed and Murder, that they were attracted to the Justice and respect of Islam.
 
USUKIS is under the false impression that Political Islam will fight as mercenaries across Asia to the Pacific if incentivised by weapons and dosh.
 
Political Islam is keenly aware of its Islamic duty to spread Islam across the entire Asian Continent.  
Exactly like the Fukup called to MoU, both sides are keeping alive their own script, in spite of their intentions being completely, mutually incompatible because You cannot win hearts and minds by Crusading Shock and Awe. 
 
Period/Full stop.
 
USUKIS has been duped into thinking that it has an ally in Islam that it hasn’t got.
Political Islam has bern duped similar but opposite.
Trump is gobsmacked by the crowds atvSaytedcAli Khamenei’s funeral , because he sees the Power of Islam,  even Shi’a Islam,  and realises hasn’t got it . Any of it.

Israel’s defence minister has claimed that his country assassinated Khamenei for allegedly leading a “plan to destroy” Israel and again threatened to “eliminate” any Iranian leader who tries to promote such actions, according to Israel’s Channel 13. 
 
Israel Katz made the comments in response to the ongoing funeral procession in Tehran, the Israeli broadcaster reported. 
 
Katz added that Israel remains prepared to defend itself at any time and against any threat. 
 
Earlier, Katz said Khamenei’s son and successor, Mojtaba, was “marked for death”, spurring an angry protest from Tehran. Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said Trump “has committed the US to muzzling its pets in Tel Aviv”, adding, “Any threat against our people and leadership will receive an immediate, powerful response.”

Warning : this is just an hypothesis.
I was just thinking about the oil prices. What if the markets were right after all ?
They might not be manipulated by DJT after all… maybe they are anticipating the dramatic consequences of US wars of choice and anticipate a broader crisis. An economic crisis with liquidity and valuation problems with an availability of resources as a cherry ontop will make 1929 looks like a petty problem…
With an oil demand that crumble, there might be enough oil with the actual quantities available after all.

I dont know why you believed that US/UK/Israel believed something about the Muslims. The thing is Britain rearranged the area both geographically and ideologically/in terms of what brand of Islam.
 
Little there now, is what it would have been, if the area had evolved undisturbed byt the imperialists. Thus knowing how much they had changed things the British might have projected something as a result of their own manipulations.
 
Britains scholars were involved in the planning, 
And Britain had their sights on recruiting the muslims in the 18th century already,

Impressive image of today’s funeral procession along Azadi Street. Wife said if Trump were to die in office massive parties would ensue. Only his fellow criminals/grifters would mourn his passing.

Trump fans need not fear; Infantino would declare that Trump’s death was suspended till he did the same thing again.

Thanks to social media I found out that when Margaret Thatcher died there were massive street parties celebrating.
Music, dancing, balloons, face-painting, the works.
 
Meanwhile, the legacy media was assuring us that England was in deep, deep mourning, choking back tears as they tried to keep a stiff upper lip and carry on.
 
Ha!
