US forces will be targeted if they advance in the Strait of Hormuz, Hezbollah-affiliated Al-Mayadeen reported, citing a high-ranking Iranian source.
“The Strait of Hormuz is entirely under Iranian control, and this is a very clear message from the armed forces to the Americans,” the source said.
“The message to the American aggressors is: Advance, and you will be targeted,” the source added.
In addition, the Iranians are using the term “asymmetric operations” to warn us about what will happen if the conflict escalates…
Ali-Akbar Ahmadian, a member of Iran’s Defense Council, warned that any US action targeting shipping or energy would be met with the Islamic Republic’s “asymmetric operations.”
What do they mean by that?
Do the Iranians have weapons that they have not used yet and that we do not know about?
What we do know is that the Iranians just attacked a very important oil facility.
The Fujairah oil terminal is the endpoint of the Habshan–Fujairah oil pipeline. It is the only Hormuz bypass in the entire UAE…
This pipeline was built specifically so the UAE could export oil without
transiting the Strait of Hormuz. Iran is not just hitting a coalition partner.
They are targeting the infrastructure that lets oil flow without Hormuz. The only other major Hormuz bypass is Saudi Arabia's East-West pipeline to Yanbu, which was attacked in April and lost approximately
700,000 barrels per day of throughput.
Iran's message is clear. If they cannot export through Hormuz, nobody
bypasses it either.
The Iranians knew exactly what they were doing when they struck that facility.
They want all UAE oil to have to travel through the Strait of Hormuz.
UAE officials are furious, and we are being told that they intend to strike back…
A senior UAE official told Israel the country did not intend to remain silent about the attacks, Israel’s Channel 12 reported.
“The Iranian regime has begun attacking us – we will strike back,” the official said, according to Channel 12.
We have sold dozens of highly advanced fighter jets to the UAE over the years.
I wouldn’t be surprised if they launch an attack without even waiting for the U.S. to join them.
As for President Trump, it appears that he may be getting ready to make a big move too.
On Monday, he told reporters that if Iran insists on trying to interfere with Project Freedom, they will get “blown off the face of the Earth”…
President Trump told Fox News reporter Trey Yingst on Monday that if Iran targets U.S. ships in the Strait of Hormuz during Project Freedom, they will be “blown off the face of the Earth,” according to Yingst.
A clip of Yingst delivering a report on his phone conversation with the president on Fox News was shared by an official White House social media account.
Of course once the U.S. resumes bombing Iran, the Israelis will too.
In fact, one Israeli official just admitted that the IDF is prepared to start conducting strikes in Iran again “immediately”…
Israel is ready to resume attacks on Iran “immediately”, an Israeli official has warned.
Speaking on News 14, an anonymous official said: “We’re ready to resume fighting in Iran immediately; we’re waiting for the green light from the Americans.”
Israel’s military is closely monitoring the developments in the Gulf and remains on high alert, according to a military official who spoke on the condition of anonymity in line with military guidelines.
Meanwhile, the ceasefire in Lebanon has completely broken down and the IDF is hitting Hezbollah quite hard…
Israel Defense Forces (IDF) said Monday that troops uncovered explosive devices and anti-tank missiles at a Hezbollah weapons facility, as operations continued against the group’s infrastructure.
“IDF troops inside a Hezbollah weapons storage facility prior to its dismantling, where dozens of explosive devices and anti-tank missiles were located,” the IDF said in a post shared on X.
“In addition, several weapons storage facilities were dismantled, and about 15 Hezbollah infrastructure sites were struck,” the force said.
We are also witnessing a stunning deterioration in our relations with China.
According to Newsweek, companies in China have been ordered “to defy U.S. sanctions over refineries linked to Iranian oil”…
Beijing has ordered Chinese companies to defy U.S. sanctions over refineries linked to Iranian oil, in a challenge to U.S. efforts to extract further concessions from Iran in negotiations for a lasting ceasefire.
The unprecedented move sets the stage for a potential showdown just days before President Donald Trump’s highly anticipated state visit to Beijing.
China has regularly condemned unilateral sanctions by the U.S. and others, criticizing them as a form of “long-arm jurisdiction” used to enforce domestic laws extraterritorially. However, the Ministry of Commerce’s Saturday announcement marked the first time Beijing has explicitly directed its firms to defy such measures.
This is a really big move by China, and it puts the communist Chinese government on a direct collision course with the Trump administration.
If Iran uses anti-ship missiles provided by China to sink U.S. warships, that could lead to war between the United States and China.
