Tensions with Iran are at a “boiling point,” and US President Donald Trump is closer than ever to approving a significant strike, though no final decision has been made, N12 reported Saturday, citing an Israeli official.

The official said Israel had raised its alert level and was unsure whether Trump wanted it involved from the outset.

According to the report, intelligence presented to Trump included a limited, targeted strike on energy facilities that could significantly affect the Iranian public without triggering a broader rise in global energy prices.

Trump is about to issue the final orders for the massive attack on Iran, per Israeli Channel 13.

Israel has raised its military to maximum alert status this weekend as the US prepares to strike Iran, with Israeli officials saying tensions at their peak and the situation "on the brink of exploding," per Israeli Channel 12.

The U.S. military's top commander in Europe has directly warned the Pentagon he lacks the naval forces to keep defending Israel from Iranian missile attacks, according to The Washington Post, as Tehran warns it has prepared coordinated hypersonic missile strikes and drone swarms against Israel if the conflict escalates, per Gen. Alexus Grynkewich to WaPo.

The destroyers are equipped with SM-3 and SM-6 anti-ballistic missile interceptors, the main ship-based interceptors used against Iranian ballistic missiles aimed at Israel, and have been stretched by operations daily in the Mediterranean, Red Sea, and around Iran with major ammunition shortages and maintenance issues piling up due to the Iran war tempo.

This comes after Iran's ballistic missile attacks have already drained the Arab Dome from Patriot interceptors causing Trump's earlier halt on major escalation.

Without another destroyer in the eastern Mediterranean, Gen. Alexus Grynkewich warned he may have to prioritize defending the U.S. homeland over Israel.

Meanwhile, the U.S. Embassy in Jerusalem is urging Americans across the Middle East to consider leaving, warning of flight cancellations, airspace closures, and major travel disruptions as fears of a wider regional war intensify.

Confirmed sources are confirming that Iran has reduced the highly secure and secret base of the US intelligence agency CIA in Kuwait to ashes with a missile attack, in which at least fifty highly qualified CIA personnel have been burned to ashes. Since this attack, the US has stopped the attacks and is again seeking negotiations.

The United States has still not recovered from its surprise and confusion as to how Iran so successfully targeted a base that American officials themselves were unaware of.

An Israeli journalist has written that America is being badly beaten in the Middle East. Its strongest bases are being successfully withdrawn, and America is failing miserably to stop it. The bravery of the Iranians, the discipline of their forces, and the underground weapons stockpiles spread throughout Iran make Iran invincible.

Even Israel and the United States are unable to send troops into Iran together because both are convinced that if they do so, Iran will annihilate them.

Amidst the plans of US/Israel escalating war with Iran, Tehran has prepared a comprehensive plan to completely destroy the Middle East's energy infrastructure, a synchronized decapitation of the world's oil and gas supply, if the U.S. or Israel launches new strikes, per Tasnim News.

The target list includes:

· Saudi Arabia: Ghawar oil field (5%+ of world supply), Abqaiq & Khurais (7M+ bpd)

· UAE: Zakum field & Ruways refinery (1M+ bpd)

· Qatar: North Field & Ras Laffan (20% of global LNG trade)

· Kuwait: Burgan field (2M bpd)

· Bahrain: Sitrah refinery & Al-Mihaj

· Israel: Leviathan & Tamar gas fields

A senior Iranian security official said: "We have prepared a comprehensive plan to respond to any potential American recklessness" — recalling that during the 40-day war, Iran bombed Qatar's most important gas refinery, and Trump apologized on Truth Social.

The U.S. State Department has also sent out a security alert to diplomatic personnel across the gulf states, stating that ‘significant escalation’ with Iran could be expected in the near future.

The alert was issued to all U.S. missions and diplomatic staff in the following countries of the region:

UAE

 Qatar

 Oman

Iraq

Jordan

 Israel

 Kuwait

 Saudi Arabia

 Bahrain

 Egypt

Consequently, American citizens across the Gulf region have been asked to consider vacating the middle east.

US, Israel planing Human Sacrifices with over 5900km land blockade Against Iran

The US and Israel are discussing a full +5900km land blockade of Iran, with the plan requiring cooperation from Iran's 7 neighboring countries Iraq, Turkey, Pakistan, Afghanistan, Turkmenistan, Armenia, Azerbaijan to close border crossings, per Telegraph.

This confirms what a US official said yesterday, that Trump is "exasperated" and there was "not a real strategy for how long or what they should do," as many of these countries would not agree to this, given the fact that they are not in favour of working with Israel and the US.

Retired 3-star Lt General Sean MacFarland of the US Army calls a land blockade "almost impossible," adding the US is viewing Pakistan and Iraq as "weak links" despite Iraq's Iran-aligned resistance groups, with all 7 border countries facing their own economic consequences and threat of Iranian retaliatory strikes if they cooperate.

Trump believes he has "reached the end of the road" with his current Hormuz strategy and bombing campaign, with Trump and Netanyahu having discussed 3 options this Tuesday: reaching a deal, continuing the naval blockade, or resuming strikes.

Tehran has never for once come out to face both Washington and Tel Aviv in any conventional warfare but asymptomatic with precision ballistic missiles barrages, land blockade against Iran will only end up as one of the greatest human sacrifice of all time in the face of hypersonic missiles.

Ukraine's attack on Iranian vessel will not go unanswered — Iranian Foreign Minister Araghchi tells Russian FM Lavrov

Iranian FM 

Following the Ukraine's attack on Iranian commercial vessel in the Caspian Sea, Tehran has saut it will not go unattended to.

Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi in a telephone conversation with his Russian counterpart Sergei Lavrov described the strike as a “blatant UN Charter violation," asserting it was carried out at Israel’s urging in an effort to pull Europe deeper into the middle east conflict.

Earlier, Ukrainian forces targeted an Iranian commercial ship in the Caspian Sea, resulting in one fatality and multiple injuries.

Araghchi on his X post lashes out at Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy calling him the “freeloader in Kyiv” as he accuses Ukraine of carrying out a deadly attack on an Iranian commercial vessel and warns that it “cannot go unanswered.”

Iranian FM said he had made it  clear during phone calls with European Union foreign policy chief Kaja Kallas and Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov that “what the freeloader in Kyiv did cannot go unanswered.”

An Iranian military sources are suggesting IRGC may soon directly strike Ukraine interests or supply Russia with short-range ballistic missiles, in response to Kyiv's drone attack on an Iranian vessel in the Caspian Sea that killed a sailor, per Iranian outlets.

Having formally notified Russia and the EU. The IRGC is reportedly considering a retaliatory ballistic missile strike against a strategic target in Kyiv, with the Khorramshahr-4 missile capable of reaching Ukraine.

The source suggests Iran could also escalate by sending short-range ballistic missiles to Russia. The conflict is expanding — and Tehran is weighing its options.

US risks draining military strength in prolonged Iran war - expert

Escalating the Iran conflict would drain US military resources, push up oil prices, and fuel inflation at home, former Iranian diplomat Abdolreza Bani-Ali tells Sputnik.


He warns “a large-scale war could last for years,” weakening Washington’s position compared to Russia and China and deepening political pressure on the administration in light of the upcoming midterm elections.



💬 "Also, the US' regional allies among the Persian Gulf countries are not supporters of a protracted war," Abdolreza Bani-Ali concludes.



Jianwei Han, an associate professor at the Middle East Studies Institute of Shanghai International Studies University, believes Iran has shown extraordinary resilience against U.S. military pressure, and that the current confrontation marks a watershed moment reshaping the Middle East's strategic landscape.



The U.S. has reportedly informed Israel that it plans to escalate attacks on Iran in the coming days. The Middle East conflict may be entering an even more dangerous phase.

The next phase of the war may be imminent. Israel has reportedly entered its highest state of military readiness after being notified by Washington that the United States is preparing a major expansion of operations against Iran, according to Kan.



The report says U.S. plans could include the first deployment of heavy bombers in the conflict, with Pickaxe Mountain among the suspected targets. At the same time, dozens of KC-135 and KC-46 aerial refueling aircraft are reportedly being repositioned across Israel and the region to support sustained long-range strike missions.


In response, Israeli Chief of Staff Lt. Gen. Eyal Zamir has convened an emergency meeting of the entire General Staff at the Kirya in Tel Aviv, with discussions focused on air-defense readiness and preparations for the possibility of a large-scale, multi-front missile response from Iran.

U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio said Iran is not interested in talking to the U.S. either directly or indirectly and that the U.S. has been trying to reach out to them for negotiations.

"On the day Iran was supposed to issue the statement, they targeted and struck a vessel."

"The agreement with Iran included reopening the Strait of Hormuz and ensuring freedom of navigation. Iran was supposed to issue a statement to that effect a week and a half ago."

"Agreements are based on compliance. We reached an agreement with Iran, then they violated it, and it is no longer in effect."

Both Donald Trump during the NATO submit in Turkey and Iranian leaders declared the Islamabad agreement dead as escalations surged in the strait of Hormuz.

The U.S. has been surging forces, medics and weaponry to the Middle East to give President Trump more muscular military options as he considers expanding the conflict against Iran, according to people familiar with the matter.

Wednesday, US Central Command (CENTCOM) said US forces completed another round of strikes against Iran on Wednesday, marking the 12th consecutive night of attacks.

CENTCOM said the operation targeted Iranian maritime capabilities, missile and drone storage facilities, coastal surveillance sites, and air defense assets, adding that the strikes were intended to further degrade Iran’s ability to threaten civilian shipping.



John Bolton: Nearly five months after launching US-Israeli strikes against Iran, Donald Trump seems to have lost his way. We still don’t know what his objectives are. One thing is certain: he is panicked about America’s November election, and what voters will say about the Iran war.


The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) confirmed that "an explosion occurred on an oil tanker, and two tankers that were attempting to pass through the southern passage of the mine-filled Strait of Hormuz were forced to retreat due to U.S. provocation. Any vessel that is deceived by the United States and intends to pass through the Strait of Hormuz without coordinating with us will be subjected to incidents."

According to the Press TV, three US-backed oil tankers attempted to pass through the mined route south of the Strait of Hormuz. After one of the tankers exploded and caught fire, the other two quickly turned around and retreated.


Iran's army warned on Thursday that it could adopt new military strategies if the United States continued attacking infrastructure and coastal areas in the country's south, saying its retaliatory operations were entering a new phase.


Army spokesperson Mohammad Akraminia said the armed forces were carrying out retaliatory strikes after what he described as a US violation of an understanding between the two sides.


"If they insist on continuing their hostile actions against our country's southern regions, we will certainly adopt new measures," Akraminia told the Defence Press news agency. "New scenarios have been anticipated and worked on, and we will definitely act in a new way to deter the enemy from continuing the war."


He said Iran had other strategies that would be disclosed "at the appropriate time" and that its air force and air defences were better prepared after using a ceasefire period to improve combat readiness.


Akraminia also said Iran considered a ground assault possible and had prepared for different scenarios.

"If the enemy resorts to aggression by land, its vulnerability will certainly be far greater than in air or long-range attacks," he said, adding that ground operations would give Iranian forces more opportunities to inflict casualties.

Already, Iranian forces destroyed US military bases in the Gulf region in Iraq, Syria, Bahrain, Kuwait, UAE, Jordan inflicting multiple casualties against United States. Certainly no where in the middle east is safe for the American forces and weapons.

With Britain granting US access to use her military base for operation against Iran or even including and preparing to join the war alongside with the US and Israel, wining or loosing the war against Tehran will not save UK from becoming a target of the Islamic Republic retaliations.



For the Iranian nuclear program that has been the bone of contention and wars, Washington gave Saudi Arabia go ahead for the civilian nuclear program and Uranium enrichment.

Tehran is prepared to respond if necessary - Iran’s parliament speaker dismisses Trump threats

The Iranian parliament speaker who is also the head negotiator Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf has dismisses the US threats, saying Tehran is prepared to respond if necessary.

The Tehran’s delegation walked out of the talks with the US in Switzerland in protest against threats made by US President Donald Trump, Iran’s state-affiliated Tasnim news agency reports, citing a source close to the Iranian negotiating team.

American President Donald Trump has threatened the Iranian officials in Switzerland that they won’t make it back to Iran if they close the Strait of Hormuz while Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu bombs Lebanon.

According to Fox News, Trump says he spoke with Iranian officials and told them, "You close the Strait of Hormuz and you won't have a country." He also told them, "You won't even make it back to your fucking country."

Despite this claim Iran has closed the Strait of Hormu adding that the ceasefire agreement must be respected by both the US and State of Israel.

Ghalibaf has said the US should be careful with its statements, warning that Iran’s armed forces are "ready to respond".

Tehran dismissed claims that an agreement has been reached with the United States on reducing its enriched uranium stockpile, insisting that nuclear issues are not part of the current round of talks and will not be discussed until Washington fulfills key obligations under the memorandum of understanding. 

Iran's Fars reported that Tehran insisted that implementation of commitments related to Lebanon, sanctions relief, maritime restrictions, and frozen Iranian assets must come first. 

Iranian officials also stated that IAEA Director Rafael Grossi has no role in the ongoing negotiations.

Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian said on Sunday that $6 billion frozen assets in Qatar will be returned to Tehran as part of a preliminary deal between Iran and the US. “With the start of the negotiations from today, the $6 billion we have in Qatar will also be unfrozen and returned to our country,” Pezeshkian said in statements carried by the state broadcaster IRIB.

Trump warned Iran of new powerful strikes over the situation in Lebanon. "Iran must immediately stop their highly paid proxies in Lebanon from causing trouble"

Iranian State TV reveales the reasons for the failure of the talks with the U.S

 

The negotiations between the US delegations and Iranian delegations failed to achieve anything meaningful after a 21hrs of negotiations.

Iranian Foreign Minister Seyed Abbas Araghchi as reportes by Iranian TV revealed the reasons behind the failure of the two sides to achieve any agreeable understanding in Islamabad, Pakistan.

Details:

- The U.S. tried to achieve at the negotiating table what it could not achieve through war

- The Americans demanded that Iran hand over enriched uranium and open the Strait of Hormuz without recognizing Iran’s sovereignty over it

- Iran has decided to defend its national interests by military means.

"We are disappointed with how US behaved. Netanyahu's call to Vance during the meeting shifted the focus from US-Iran negotiations to Israel's interests. The U.S. tried to achieve at the negotiating table what it could not achieve through war. We came here with good faith, the press conference by Vance before he left Pakistan was unnecessary, we are committed & prepared to safeguard our nation's interest and sovereignty"- Iran FM Seyed Abbas Araghchi.

The success of the negotiations depends on avoiding excessive and illegal demands and recognising Iran’s legitimate rights, the Iranian Foreign Ministry affirmed.

The US/Iran talks to end the war in Islamabad went through sharp swings and continued into the early hours of this morning, a Pakistani official told the Washington Post.

According to some reports from social media, US President Donald Trump has proposed a naval blockade against Iran following failed negotiations in Islamabad between the U.S. and Iran.

Trump suggested the U.S. could respond to Iran’s control over the Strait of Hormuz by imposing its own blockade.

 The U.S. Navy could potentially assert control over maritime traffic in the strait, effectively restricting movement along this critical global oil route.

 The proposal comes amid broader warnings from Trump after the collapse of talks, while Pakistan continues mediation efforts and urges both sides to maintain the ceasefire despite rising tensions around the Strait of Hormuz.

According to credible source, Iran will only allow about 10 ships per day through Strait of Hormuz for fees up to $2 million . 

Tehran plans to permit no more than a dozen vessels to pass through the Strait of Hormuz, with fees potentially as high as $2 million per supertanker, US media reported

Shipowners from several countries are said to be negotiating with the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) for permission to transit the strategic waterway

The limited number of ships allowed to cross will have to follow specially designated routes and obtain the necessary permits

Earlier, Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi confirmed the Strait of Hormuz would be reopened following a two-week ceasefire announcement on Wednesday night

Tehran claims victory over Washington, Tel Aviv as Iran Prepares a retaliatory strikes against Israel over ceasefire violation

A statement by the Prime Minister of Pakistan reads: With the greatest humility, I am pleased to announce that the Islamic Republic of Iran and the United States of America, along with their allies, have agreed to an immediate ceasefire everywhere including Lebanon and elsewhere, EFFECTIVE IMMEDIATELY. 

I warmly welcome the sagacious gesture and extend deepest gratitude to the leadership of both the countries and invite their delegations to Islamabad on Friday, 10th April 2026, to further negotiate for a conclusive agreement to settle all disputes. 

Both parties have displayed remarkable wisdom and understanding and have remained constructively engaged in furthering the cause of peace and stability. We earnestly hope, that the ‘Islamabad Talks’ succeed in achieving sustainable peace and wish to share more good news in coming days!

US Vice President JD Vance warned the truce between Washington and Tehran remained "fragile" on Wednesday as several Gulf nations endured fresh attacks just hours after the rivals agreed a two-week ceasefire.

Al Jazeera reports that: Israeli air attacks have hit several dense commercial and residential areas in central Beirut without warning, hours after a ceasefire was announced in the US-Israeli war on Iran.

The Lebanese Ministry of Health tells Al Jazeera that at least 87 people have been killed and more than 700 others wounded in Israel’s attacks on Lebanon, according to an initial toll.

Pakistan's Prime Minister issues a statement regarding violations of the US-Iran ceasefire agreement:

"Violations of ceasefire have been reported at few places across the conflict zone which undermine the spirit of peace process. I earnestly and sincerely urge all parties to exercise restraint and respect the ceasefire for two weeks, as agreed upon, so that diplomacy can take a lead role towards peaceful settlement of the conflict."

The ceasefire is on the verge of collapse, Iran is preparing to exclude Israel from the negotiation process due to the massive attack on Lebanon

Iran closes the Strait of Hormuz, which was partially open for around 10 minutes this morning, until further notice due to Israel’s attack on Lebanon – Fars

A source also tells Tasnim that Iran is preparing a retaliatory response to the Israeli attacks on Lebanon today, and that if ceasefire violations ‘persist’, Iran will cancel the 2-week agreement and not attend the planned talks in Islamabad.

US President Donald Trump announced that the United States will work closely with Iran.

He said tariff and sanctions relief are being discussed, and that many of the 15 points have already been agreed upon.

He also stated that there will be no uranium enrichment, and that the US working with Iran will remove deeply buried nuclear material under satellite surveillance.

French President Emmanuel Macron has welcomed the ceasefire between Iran and the US but warned the situation in Lebanon remains critical and urged that Lebanon be included in the deal, Reuters reports.

My U.S. government sources confirm that Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf and JD Vance are expected to meet in Islamabad, Pakistan tomorrow.

Trump administration officials believe this could be a historic meeting, as the Islamic regime may potentially become a key Middle Eastern ally of the United States. 

They say Ghalibaf is someone they trust to work with and believe he could help position Iran as a key U.S. ally!

Israel, which wasn’t formally part of the Iran negotiations, wasn’t happy that it got word that a deal was finalized at a late stage and wasn’t consulted, according to mediators and a person familiar with the matter.

Iranian security official noted the continuous violation of the ceasefire and may take appropriate measure.

“Following the continued violation of the temporary ceasefire by Israel against Lebanon, Iran is in the process of summarizing to carry out deterrent operations against Israeli military positions.”

AFP reports: Iran's Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi raised "ceasefire violations" by Israel with Pakistani mediators on Wednesday, an Iranian ministry statement said, as reports citing senior officials warned that Tehran could pull out of the truce over attacks on Lebanon.

Iran will withdraw from the US ceasefire agreement if Israel continues to violate it by attacking Lebanon. 

Iranian parliament on Israeli aggression against Lebanon on national security said:  "All plans to open the Strait of Hormuz must be stopped immediately until Lebanon is included in the ceasefire. Either there will be a ceasefire on all fronts, or there will be no ceasefire anywhere.

Lebanon is not part of the ceasefire agreement between the United States and Iran, Axios reported on Wednesday, citing White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt.

While US and Israel claimed victory, Iran also claimed victory.

Tehran Stated that Iran’s Central Headquarters of Khatam al-Anbiya said Iranian armed forces gained the upper hand over the #US and "Israel" after 40 days of operations, forcing the United States and "Israel" to surrender.

It asserted that coordinated defensive and offensive operations shifted the balance in #Tehran’s favor, as the armed forces acted under directives from martyr Sayyed Ali Khamenei, where "swift and overwhelming" strikes on US and Israeli targets were launched from the very first day, inflicting heavy losses and exposing their"weakness".

The statement added, "With no trust in the American and Israeli enemies, we in the armed forces are monitoring all their movements in the region, and if they commit any new mistake, we will confront them more destructively and lethally than before."

#Iran also emphasized its control over the strategically vital Strait of Hormuz, asserting that it is managed "through our own initiative and smart command."

Iran strikes the Dimona reactor in response to the attack on Natanz, Death tolls more than 40

 

Profile Picture 

An Iranian ballistic missile reportedly hit Dimona in southern Israel. Most notably, the missiles appear to have penetrated advanced U.S. and Israeli air defense systems protecting the nuclear facility, with at least two interception systems reportedly bypassed in the operation. 

The International Atomic Energy Agency confirmed the incident but also indicates that no abnormal radiation levels have been detected.

"The IAEA is aware of reports of an incident in the city of Dimona, Israel, involving a missile impact and has not received any indication of damage to the nuclear research center Negev."

"Information from regional States indicates that no abnormal radiation levels have been detected."

"Closely monitoring the situation, Director General @RafaelMGrossi stressed that "maximum military restraint should be observed, in particular in the vicinity of nuclear facilities".

Iranian Revolutionary Guard Spokesperson : in a statement confirming the strikes said, "We could have struck the Dimona nuclear plant if we wanted to. This was a warning shot. If our nuclear facilities are attacked again, Dimona will be destroyed."

Israeli foreign ministry in a statement said the Iranian regime devastated Arad and Dimona by deliberately striking civilians with missiles. Over 100 people were injured, including children. A blatant war crime. Pure terrorism."

More than forty has been confirmed killed in the incident.

According to the reports by Times Of Israel: "Over 100 people were injured by Iranian strikes in the southern cities of Dimona and Arad on Saturday, 11 of them seriously, medics said, after Israeli air defenses failed to intercept at least two ballistic missiles."

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said the strike a very difficult evening in the campaign for the country's future.

Netanyahu said Israel is determined to continue the war against Iran despite the devastated strikes ravaging the country by Iran's ballistic missiles.

Israel’s Home Front Command has closed schools and banned gatherings of over 50 in the south until Tuesday after Iranian missile strikes on Dimona, Kan reports. 

 The mayor of Arad in southern Israel says that about 150 families were evacuated from the neighbourhood that was hit by the Iranian missile attack.

Israel announces 'new wave of strikes' as conflict escalates 

There was a report of '3 or 4 heavy bombs' heard near Mount Damavand & Pardis, Tehran province

In another response to Trump's further threats, Iran warns it will target US and Israel‑linked energy and IT infrastructure, along with desalination plants in the region if its power plants are hit, following Trump’s threat to strike Iranian plants over the Strait of Hormuz.

American President Donald Trump had said if Iran doesn’t FULLY OPEN, WITHOUT THREAT, the Strait of Hormuz, within 48 HOURS from this exact point in time, the United States of America will hit and obliterate their various POWER PLANTS, STARTING WITH THE BIGGEST ONE FIRST…” 

Meanwhile, Iran has denied targeting the UK’s military base on Diego Garcia, with a senior official telling Al Jazeera it was not behind the missile attack.

 The base is being used by the US for “defensive operations” in its war with Iran. The war against Iran by US and Israel have been variously condemned as an unprovoked aggression against Tehran.

US will regrets miscalculation: Iran is ready for a long war, unlike Washington - Supreme National Security Council Secretary Ali Larijani

 A Senior Iranian official, Ali Larijani has said Iran has prepared for a long war and is acting only in self-defense in the current conflict with the United States and Israel.

In a post on his X page, secretary of Iran’s Supreme National Security Council said Iran did not start the war and that its armed forces had engaged only in defensive action. He said Iran would defend itself “regardless of the costs” and would make its enemies regret what he called a miscalculation.

Prof Mirandi of Tehran University was also reportedly said that Iran has been preparing for this since the Iraq invasion of 2003.

They knew that they would be next sometime in the future

Hence, Iran may never involved in any ceasefire against the United States and Israel as a retaliations for all the Iranian leaders killed including the Supreme Leader of the Islamic Republic Ayatollah.

US Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth on Monday said the conflict with Iran “is not Iraq” and would not become an endless war, describing current operations as limited and focused on eliminating specific military threats.

“This is not endless,” Hegseth said at a news conference, adding that the mission was “clear, devastating and decisive” and aimed at destroying Iran’s offensive missile capabilities, missile production and naval assets so that it will “never have nuclear weapons.”

Will Iran stop the retaliatory attacks for any negotiations with the US and Israeli? 

Iranian Gen. Jabbar has said the Americans have relocated the majority of their aircraft to Cyprus; we will launch so many missiles at Cyprus that they will be forced to flee from there as well.

According to a report by Al Jazeera, US Air Force General Dan Caine, chairman of the joint chiefs of staff, says the joint US-Israeli attacks on Iran is "not a single overnight mission... We expect to take additional losses."

The vessel was hit by Iranian drone or missile fire on Monday, according to the Reuters and other outlets that cited the maritime security firm Vanguard Tech. There was no immediate comment from US authorities.

IRGC in a statement on Monday said: We’ve just started using the 2nd generation missiles today. In the upcoming days, you’ll witness the 3rd, 4th, 5th & 6th generation missiles if needed. 

Gen. Jabbari: To date, we have launched approximately 3,000 first- and second-generation missiles and approximately 10,000 drones

In the coming days, we will certainly deploy third- and fourth-generation missiles.

While there has not been any official confirmation from Tehran.  Source says the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) is insisting on the swift appointment of the next leader of the Islamic Republic after Ali Khamenei's death, sources with knowledge of the matter told Iran International.

Iranian state media, citing the Red Crescent, on Saturday evening said at least 201 people had been killed and more than 700 injured. Iran retaliated by firing missiles and drones toward Israel and U.S. military bases in the region.

According to the Fox news report, a senior Israeli security official says 40 Iranian security and regime figures were killed in Israel’s opening strike on Tehran.

The U.S. government agrees with the Israeli assessment that Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei is dead, a senior U.S. defense official tells reporters.

United States President Donald Trump told newsmen, “we feel certain” that Iran's Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei is dead. “We feel that is a correct story.”

Fox News also quoted a US official as saying the United States believes Khamenei and five to 10 top Iranian leaders were killed in an initial Israeli strike.

According to Iran military monitor, Imam Khamenei said "Iran has never fired the first shot in any confrontation, not even against the United States. However, it has delivered its retaliatory blows with force."

United Nations secretary general Antonio Guterres said lasting peace can only come through peaceful dialogue.

I condemn the military escalation in the Middle East today.

The strikes by the US & Israel against Iran & the subsequent attacks by Iran undermine international security.

These actions carry the risk of igniting a chain of events that no one can control in the most volatile region of the world.

Lasting peace can only be achieved through peaceful means, including genuine dialogue and negotiations.

The @UN Charter provides the foundation for the maintenance of international peace & security.

 Guterres told an emergency meeting of the U.N. Security Council on the U.S. and Israeli airstrikes that "everything must be done to prevent a further escalation."

Guterres stated that he was 'not in a position' to confirm Ali Khamenei's death, and that he deeply regretted the 'squandered' opportunity for diplomacy.

Official Message From The IRGC. 

The third and fourth waves have begun with more advanced missiles than the operation true promise 3. 

The IRGC Public issued a statement stating: The third and fourth waves of the Operation True promise 4 have been launched continuously against the extensive military and security targets of the United States and the Zionist regime, with more advanced missiles than the operation true promise 3 and in a more precise and ferocious manner.

The Israeli army naval base in Haifa Port, the regime's warship anchorage in Haifa, the Ramat David air base, the regime's Ministry of War in the Hakeryat area, the Beit Shams military-industrial complex, and the Ishtod military industries center are among the targets during the third and fourth waves.

Russian Foreign Ministry calls US and Israeli attack on Iran an 'IRRESPONSIBLE MOVE'

 The Foreign Ministry of Russia Federation has called US and Israeli attack on Iran an 'IRRESPONSIBLE MOVE'

The ministry described the US and Israeli bombing of Iran as a premeditated and unprovoked act of armed aggression

According to the statement, the responsibility for the negative consequences of this man-made crisis lies entirely with the US and Israel. The motives behind the US and Israeli attacks on Iran have nothing to do with the preservation of non-proliferation

"The US and Israel cannot fail to understand that their actions in escalating the situation in the Middle East push the region towards acquiring new weapons."

Moscow expresses concern over the serial nature of destabilizing US strikes on the international legal foundations of the global order.

Russia demands the immediate return of the situation around Iran to a diplomatic resolution.

Moscow is ready to assist in finding peaceful solutions in the Middle East based on international law and mutual respect. The statement said.

U.S, Israeli joint military strikes against Iran have been met with immediate retaliatory strikes on US military bases in the middle east including the headquarters in Bahrain.

Escalation: Iran’s Navy Commander Alireza Tangsiri Warns Trump to Move His Armada out of the Persian Gulf or Face Consequences:

 

Iranian Navy Commander Alireza Tangsiri has Warned the United States President Donald Trump to Move His Armada out of the Persian Gulf or Face Consequences.

According to him: “The Persian Gulf belongs to Iran and its neighbors. America must get out of our region — or face the consequences.”

According to a social media report by the Iran military, the conflict has officially escalated as reports confirm that one American fighter jet has been shot down. This development marks a serious turning point, raising fears of wider military confrontation and increased global tensions as the situation continues to unfold rapidly.It won't be a walk in the park for Trump forces

According to Muhammad Zavad Zarif, Donald Trump' wants to wage an illegitimate and unjust war against Iran. " And we have good reasons to defend ourselves."

And we will defend our Patriots until death. He said.

If Trump thinks he can carry out a quick operation and then tweet two hours later that it’s over, there is no such thing at all. Without a doubt, the war would include the entire region, from the Zionist regime to countries where the U.S. has bases.

If the enemy takes a foolish step, we will respond immediately, that is the directive given to us. In the past, it was necessary to conduct situation assessments, but now the instructions have already been issued in advance.

Plans have been formulated, and for every different scenario on the enemy’s side, we will have an appropriate and proportional response.

In the 12-day war, we learned that delay and giving the enemy an opportunity are absolutely unjustified, and an immediate response is required.

Aircraft carriers are very vulnerable to missiles.

In an another report, a retired U.S. military officer  was reported to have revealed that a U.S. aircraft carrier had to make a sudden, extreme maneuver to dodge a missile from Yemen, it is so intense that an F-18 fighter jet fell into the sea during the incident.

The F-18 fighter Jet fall from the carrier in to the sea and they have loose it.

This is the kind of situation the U.S. Navy is escape from Yemen.

Automatically this is defeat and end of their carrier if Iranian army launch their ICBMS on it. 

Definitely, IRAN will sink this carrier in an all out war.

The primary targets will be Israel and all US military bases across the Middle East region.

“A limited military strike is an illusion

Ali Shamkhani who is an Adviser to Imam Khamenei in the Defense Council said any military action by America, from any origin and at any level, is considered the beginning of a war, and its response will be immediate, comprehensive, and unprecedented, targeting the aggressor, the heart of Tel Aviv, and all supporters of the aggressor.”

Any military action on our part - from any source and at any level - will be considered the beginning of war, and our response will be immediate, comprehensive and unprecedented, targeting the heart of Tel Aviv and those who support the aggressor.

Iran’s mission to the United Nations just sent a strong warning to the United States.

In their warning issue, they reminded the U.S. of the cost of past military interventions, saying that the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq drained US over $7 trillion and resulted in the deaths of more than 7,000 American troops.

At the same time, Iran says it is still open to talks...  but only on the basis of mutual respect and shared interests.

However, the Iranian gov. Emphasize that If IRAN  is pushed to the last corner, it will defend itself and respond in a way the U.S. has “NEVER EXPERIENCED BEFORE.”

Imminent war preceded by maneuvers: IRAN to Conduct Maritime Maneuvers with CHINA and RUSSIA in Coming Days to signal US and allies!!

Iranian Navy is planning to conduct joint military exercises with China and Russia in the Sea of Oman also known as the Gulf of Oman and the Indian Ocean in the coming days.

The world holds its breath as Iran prepares to close the global oil lifeline amid unprecedented U.S. readiness.

Iran has warned ships at sea that it plans to conduct live-fire naval exercises in the Strait of Hormuz, potentially disrupting traffic through one of the world’s key oil routes.

According to a notice sent to mariners on Thursday, the “naval live-fire drills” are scheduled for Sunday and Monday. About 20% of global oil shipments pass through the strait, raising concerns about possible disruptions.

The warning comes as the United States conducts a multi-day air force exercise in The Middle West amid ongoing tensions with Iran.

The U.S. Central Command said the drills aim to demonstrate the ability to deploy and sustain air power across the region, a day after the USS Abraham Lincoln aircraft carrier arrived in The Middle West.

The Saudi defense minister had arrived the US together with the head of Israeli intelligence hoped to coordinate the attacks against Iran.

MBS recently called President Pezeshkian, and Saudi Arabia has conveyed messages from the Iranian leadership to the US. The militarization of the Strait of Hormuz has greatly alarmed the countries of the region.

The U.S. Secretary of War stated  that America is fully prepared to execute any decision the President makes regarding Iran.

Nuclear Power: Iran used ‘less than 5%’ of its military capability in 12-day war with Israel – IRGC general

 Iran remains a regional power in the middle east, not israel, the assault on Tel Noff Airbase, home to Israel’s nuclear capable jets; the Rafael Defence facilities, where the Iron Dome, comprising major missile systems, is made; the Weisman Centre, which is the hub of its chip production centre; and the Soroka Hospital, contributed significantly to Israel’s eagerness in agreeing to a ceasefire.

Netayahu's Misadventures Against Iran, Israelis Still Calculating Losses

Israel entered the 12-day exchange convinced it could absorb costs; the ledger now shows a nation bleeding cash, talent, and confidence. 

Direct military outlays hit $5 B in the first week, then ballooned to $725 M every 24 hours, $593 M on offensive strikes that failed to silence Iran, $132 M on frantic mobilisation and missile intercepts that still let 400 warheads through. 

Iron Dome batteries alone inhaled $10 M to $200 M per day while Iranian salvos sailed past them and erased $1.47 B in civilian property, triggering 38 700 damage claims, 11 000 evacuations, and 30 condemned high-rise skeletons across Tel Aviv’s financial spine.

The Weizmann Institute, Israel’s prestige export, lies in shards, 45 labs gone and $500 M in biomedical IP incinerated, pulling decades of grant pipelines and pharma partnerships off the table overnight.

Intel’s Kiryat Gat fabs froze mid-wafer, choking a supply chain that feeds 64% of Israel’s exports and 1/5 of its GDP; the high-tech sector now runs on skeleton crews because 300 000 reservists were yanked from R&D floors and data centers to guard empty runways at Tel Nof. Commercial flights halted twice at Ben Gurion, insurers jacked premiums, and foreign airlines rerouted around a country that once sold itself as the region’s safe hub.

Capital is already in flight. More than 80 000 Israelis emigrated in 2024, the largest outflow since 1948, pushing the two-year total above 500 000 and forcing Netanyahu’s cabinet to slap a travel ban on Jewish dual nationals to stem the leak. Investor confidence cratered: venture funds paused term sheets, construction sites stand idle, and mega-projects wait on credit that no longer clears. 

The finance ministry, staring at a deficit set to shove public debt past 75 % of GDP, begged for an extra $857 M in defence cash while slicing $200 M from hospitals and schools.

Analysts peg Israel’s aggregate loss between $11.5 B and $17.8 B, up to 3.3 % of GDP, before counting long-tail hits from halted exports, cancelled IPOs, and sovereign-risk downgrades. 

Iran, still sitting on its uranium stockpile, spent a fraction of that yet forced the self-styled “Start-Up Nation” into a liquidity scramble, an insurance panic, and a brain-drain spiral. 

Tel Aviv promised deterrence;

 Tehran handed it a balance sheet in red ink and the visible stamp of strategic humiliation.
