Iran's IRGC claims they destroyed three F-35 jets, Donald Trump becomes agitated, lost his temper

In response to the attack on two residential homes on Qeshm Island, IRGC Aerospace Force fighters attacked the deployment ramp and maintenance hangar of the American enemy's F-35 fighter jets at Al-Azraq airbase in Jordan with several ballistic missiles.

Three F-35 aircraft were completely destroyed, significant damage was inflicted on three others, and several enemy officers along with technical and maintenance personnel were also killed. US Military denied it.

It also claimed to have struck the US Ali al-Salem airbase in Kuwait, destroying 2 drone hangars and a fuel tank serving military aircraft and helicopters.

IRGC confirmed that three members of Islamic forces were killed during US operation.

Tehran has consistently maintained that Iran neither request nor required ceasefire with the United States.

US President Donald Trump reportedly lost his temper during a security meeting, shouting and cursing out of frustration over the military options presented to him and the lack of progress toward a deal with Iran – NBC.

Iran may not send negotiators to Pakistan or Qatar, sources closed the Iranian Supreme leader said.

Citing a US official and people familiar with the matter, NBC News reported on Wednesday that Trump “exploded” during a recent meeting with his top national security officials “yelling expletives” to express his frustration over the lack of progress in the war.

The official said that despite public displays of satisfaction with how the military assault is going, neither the US president nor his aides are pleased with the status quo in the war.

Trump’s aides cannot agree on a path forward, the official added. “After all this time, there is no unity.”

Meanwhile, two other people familiar with the White House discussions said that Trump has become increasingly frustrated with Tehran-Washington negotiations.

“The president is exasperated,” a Trump ally who has spoken with Trump in recent weeks said.

“I don’t think he believed it was going to be this difficult to get the Iranians to agree to a deal. There was not a real strategy for how long or what they should do to get to the endpoint,” the Trump ally noted. “He did not intend this to be a long, drawn-out war.”

However, Iran intensifies diplomacy with other countries within and outside the Gulf region to deny United States of military use of their bases for aggression against Tehran.

Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi and Cypriot counterpart Constantinos Kombos held a phone call on Thursday to discuss bilateral relations and regional developments.

Araghchi stressed the need to prevent any misuse of foreign bases in Cyprus for acts of aggression against Iran, citing the UN General Assembly's Definition of Aggression (Resolution 3314), which classifies providing territory for aggression against a third state as an act of aggression itself .

The Cypriot FM reaffirmed his country's commitment to the UN Charter and international law, stating that Cyprus has secured assurances from the UK that its bases on the island will not be used against any country, including Iran .

Iran promised retaliatory attacks against any military base used to attack Tehran in any country. Bahrain, Kuwait, Oman, UAE, Qatar, Jordan are all witnessing Iranian ballistic missiles in the US military bases in their countries .

According to the Iran's foreign ministry,  Araghchi had also protested to his Bulgarian counterpart, Velislava Petrova-Chamova, over what Tehran described as Bulgaria's decision to allow the United States to station military aircraft at Bezmer Air Base in support of operations against Iran.

 Araghchi told Bulgarian FM that the reported decision was "condemnable, unacceptable and contrary to the traditional friendly relations between the two countries," and urged Sofia to reconsider it.

ESCALATIONS IN MIDDLE EAST: Tehran has no plans to send a delegation to Pakistan or Qatar for negotiations with US

US military launched an attack on an empty
 sports hall in the city of Farashband,
Fars Province, southern Iran.

Iran has no plans to send a delegation to Pakistan or Qatar for negotiations, Nour News, which is close to Iran’s Supreme National Security Council, reported on Thursday, citing an official.


The official denied that US-Iran talks would resume in Geneva, Doha or Islamabad.


“Recent US Treasury action complicated the relatively successful talks between Iran and Oman,” the official was quoted as saying.


Meanwhile, Pakistan’s Foreign Ministry said in Thursday US-Iran talks are ongoing to help restore stability, particularly in the Strait of Hormuz.

Islamabad urged both sides to resolve tensions through dialogue and diplomacy, reaffirming its support for a peaceful solution.

The comments come as regional tensions remain high after the US launched fresh strikes on Iranian-linked targets following attacks on American forces.


US military in the middle east launches new wave of strikes on Iran, the centcom hits residential building on Qeshm Island on Wednesday.

"U.S. forces began launching strikes against Iran at 8 p.m. ET today. The strikes are a powerful response to yesterday's attempted Iranian attacks on U.S. forces based in the Middle East." CENTCOM said in a statement.

CENTCOM confirms new strikes, calling it a "powerful response" to Iran's attempted attacks on US forces.


What was hit: Qeshm Island — residential area struck, search and rescue teams working to free 2 people trapped under rubble

Bushehr was also targeted. According to the report, US strikes caused a short power outage in Qeshm by damaging the grid.

Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guards threatened countries assisting the United States with a “harsh response” unless they changed their conduct, according to a statement issued on Thursday.


The IRGC said the Strait of Hormuz would remain closed as long as the US continued making threats and intervening in maritime movements in the region.


It said two oil tankers attempted to leave through what it called an unsafe route south of the strait on Wednesday night under the direction of US aircraft. Both vessels turned back after a major fire broke out aboard one of them, the IRGC said, without providing evidence.


IRGC-affiliated Fars News reported on Thursday that a Qatari LNG carrier passed through the Strait of Hormuz with Iran’s permission, the first such shipment in three weeks.


The vessel transmitted tracking data and used a route designated by Iran, passing without incident and continuing toward international waters, the report said.

As CENTCOM is firing HIMARS missiles from Kuwait to targets in Iran. In response, more Iranians are demanding the full destruction of the Kuwaiti regime for its ongoing aggression and slaughter of Iranians just as it helped Saddam do in the 1980s. According to a report from an Iranian official.

According to AFP report citing Kuwait’s military source, an Iranian strike hit a Chinese firm’s building in northern Kuwait Thursday morning, killing a worker.

A report also has it that following the failure of US air defenses to intercept Iranian missiles, air navigation data shows that German and French military aircraft have headed to US bases in Jordan to assist American forces in intercepting Iranian attacks. This is a clear message of NATO allies readiness to directly involve to help the US in the war against Iran as Britain has already offered it's airbase assets for operations against Tehran.

The US Army has awarded Lockheed Martin a contract worth up to $58.6bn to produce PAC-3 Patriot Missile Segment Enhancement interceptors, marking one of the largest munitions contracts in recent years, reports Reuters. The US has been in shortage of interceptors and weapons. Hence clamouring for ceasefire.

Citing three sources familiar with recent Pentagon data and a new report by outside analysts, CNN reports that the US military's weapons stockpiles, including its inventory of crucial air defense missiles, remain severely depleted following a major flare up of the war with Iran in recent weeks.

America says it is closely watching for any attempts by Russia or China to send weapons to Iran.

This comes amid ongoing U.S.-Iran tensions and recent public warnings from President Trump against such transfers.


Israel has said the US is preparing for something "bigger than anything we have seen before" in the war on Iran, a senior Israeli security official tells Channel 15.


The official adds the US is preparing for a large-scale unprecedented operation against Iran, not just a single isolated response, with Israeli defense circles saying the US is approaching a major counter-response.


However, on the Strait of Hormuz debacles, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu outlined a long-term vision in which the Strait of Hormuz would lose much of its strategic importance by redirecting regional energy exports through alternative pipeline networks.


According to this concept, energy could be transported from the Gulf to the Red Sea, then across Israel to Mediterranean ports, creating a new export corridor that reduces reliance on Hormuz as a global chokepoint.


Supporters of this view argue that such infrastructure would transform Israel from being primarily a strategic ally into an indispensable energy transit hub. They contend that once major oil and gas flows depend on this route, protecting Israel would become increasingly tied to broader economic and energy security interests.


The argument also draws parallels with recent U.S. defense initiatives, suggesting that deeper integration through defense manufacturing, intelligence cooperation, and critical infrastructure creates relationships that are progressively more difficult to reverse. In this interpretation, the combination of military, intelligence, and energy ties strengthens the long-term strategic partnership by making disengagement increasingly costly.

China sends a large number of missiles to Iran As Trump Promises full response to Iran's ballistic missiles attack against US military base in Jordan

 

China sends a large number of missiles to Iran, according to a report by China Times on X claiming that China supports Iran under all circumstances.

Other source indicated that up to 16 Chinese military cargo planes landed in Iran in just 56 hours, marking the largest transfer ever recorded in such a short timeframe.

China states that the United States is the biggest source of chaos in the world and the greatest threat to international stability and peace.

Reuters reveals that Iran will soon secure its inaugural consignment of up to 400 China-manufactured shoulder-launched surface-to-air missiles, backed by a multi-million-dollar bilateral arms deal.

This Chinese supplies of weapons are suggesting of a planned coalition campaigns by American and NATO allies against Iran including a possible ground invasion.

Following the Iran's ballistic missiles operation targeting the US military base in Jordan, President Donald Trump told the reporters on Wednesday that the US will respond with full force.

US will “beat the fucking shit out of” Iran

“We’ll be hitting them hard,” Trump said

 Trump described Iran-backed militias in Iraq as a “cancer on the world”

The U.S. is also sanctioning Persian Gulf Marine Insurance Company and Hormuz Safe, two Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps linked entities extorting ships in the Strait of Hormuz. The U.S. will continue intensify pressure on Iran for threatening and attacking commercial vessels in the Strait.

U.S. intelligence has reportedly assessed that Iran’s latest attack on American positions in Jordan was intended to draw Washington back into a limited, low-intensity conflict rather than launch a surprise escalation.

The assessment suggests Tehran was seeking to recreate the pattern of controlled exchanges seen in recent weeks instead of triggering a broader regional war.

U.S. officials reportedly believe the attack was calibrated to provoke a measured American response while avoiding a full-scale confrontation.

Video: Heated argument erupted inside Kuwait’s Parliament over Kuwaiti land, airspace, and waters used in US military operations against Iran

There was heated dispute erupted inside Kuwait’s Parliament over allegations that Kuwaiti land, airspace, and waters were used in U.S. operations against Iran.

 

Aside Kuwait, Jordan citizens are also coming to terms with others in the Gulf region that Hosting US bases endangers the country's security!  That the region will be better off by having the region take responsibility for its own security

"Hundreds of Jordanian political, legal and other figures signed an open petition last week calling for the withdrawal of U.S. forces from Jordan in a rare public challenge to the government."

“We maintain that their presence exposes Jordan to security, political, and economic risks and instabilities that serve no national interest and increases the likelihood of our country being dragged into a regional conflict to which it is not a party,” the petition said.

Houthis considering imposing transit fees on commercial ships passing through Bab el-Mandeb Strait

Yemen's Houthis are seriously considering imposing transit fees on commercial ships passing through the Bab el-Mandeb Strait, with Chinese vessels expected to be exempt, according to Reuters.

The proposal reportedly follows discussions with Iranian officials and comes days after the Houthis announced a naval blockade targeting Saudi Arabia.

Intelligence suggests the Houthis are formalizing control over Bab el-Mandeb — creating a permanent toll system modeled on Iran's Hormuz framework, with fees potentially paid in stablecoins or Chinese Yuan.

Trump: No deal, no mercy as Iran's Ballistic Missiles Hit American Military Base in Jordan

United States President Donald Trump has again declared that if there is no deal with Iran, there will be no mercy with Tehran.

Iran has ended it's retaliatory break and resumes ballistic missiles strikes against US military base in Jordan.

Trump warns Iran that if negotiations fail, America's next targets will be bridges and power plants. The pressure campaign is no longer about words—it's about overwhelming leverage.

The world is now watching Tehran's next move

Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) launched multiple ballistic missiles toward US forces in the Middle East on Tuesday in what US Central Command described as an attempted surprise attack, adding that all missiles were intercepted.


“At 5:45 p.m. ET today, Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps forces launched multiple ballistic missiles from Iran in an attempted surprise attack on U.S. forces based in the Middle East. All Iranian missiles were successfully intercepted. U.S. forces remain vigilant and at a high state of readiness,” CENTCOM posted on X.


Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) said it targeted a US air base and Central Command center in Jordan with ballistic missiles on Tuesday, according to IRGC-affiliated Fars News.


IRGC's Aerospace Force launched several ballistic missiles at the facilities in response to what it described as US actions against Iran, the report said.


"As long as threats against the Islamic Republic of Iran continue and the illegal and hostile actions of US forces against our interests persist, resistance will continue. The threats by US officials and illegal interventions against our interests must stop,” IRGC said.

Iran attacks on the Muwaffaq Salti Airbase in Jordan, with local media footage showing direct impacts.

CENTCOM claims all missiles were intercepted — but social media video shows smoke rising from alleged impact sites.


Though no US strikes in recent days, Iran has not agreed to any ceasefire since the US withdrew from talks. Iran says it retains the right to target US assets in the region.


It is believed that Iran resumed attacks against the US as the CENTCOM and Saudi Arabia are in the joint coalition strikes against the Tehran backed militias in Iraq.

CENTCOM and the Saudi Armed Forces conducted precision strikes in eastern Iraq, targeting what they described as "Iran-aligned terrorists" directed by the IRGC.

US and Saudi fighter aircrafts targeted logistics and weapons sites, CENTCOM announced. According to the CENTCOM, there have been over 30 drone attacks against the US forces in the last 72 hours.
