USA-Israel-Iran war is on. Here are the key points of the war:
1. US long range B1-Lancer bombers with capacity to fly thousands of miles at supersonic speed have landed at RAF Fairford Base in Gloucester, signifying direct UK involvement in the US-ISRAEL war with Iran. Germany has also allowed the LR B1-lancers to land at their Ramstein Airbase. The B1-Lancer carries the heaviest payload of precision & non-precision munitions anywhere in the world.
2. UK Aircraft carrier HMS Dragon is prepping to sail to the Cyprus to “protect British Assets” & probably assist the US-ISRAEL war efforts against Iran. After days of dithering, the UK has finally signaled her willingness to participate in Ops Epic Fury (US) & Roaring Lion (Israel) against Iran.
3. Israel has opened a second Front of Op Roaring Lion in Southern Lebanon against Hezbollah, a terrorist organization allied to Iran. After days of precision strikes, IDF has deployed forces to hold GTI and ordered mass evacuation of civilians from a large territory in Southern Lebanon. Over 700,000 Lebanese have been displaced since the Ops began.
4. Australia has agreed to provide “defensive” assistance to Gulf Countries against strikes by Iran. This means that while Australia may not deploy Military Forces of Hardware to the ME, it will offer direct “stealth” (Intel & Technical) assistance to GCC countries.
5. Ukraine has agreed to assist GCC countries with equipment & technology to intercept Iranian Shaheed kamikaze drones. Ukraine has managed to intercept cheap Iranian UAVs acquired by Russia from Tehran with remarkable success. Kyiv insists on receiving Patriot SAMs in exchange.
6. Pakistan which has a Strategic Mutual Defence Agreement (SMDA) with Saudi Arabia is under intense pressure from the oil-rich Kingdom to declare which side it stands in the current conflict and to extend support against indiscriminate Iranian strikes. The Paki-Saudi SMDA expressly provides that an attack on any of the parties is an attack on both.
7. Iran has increased its tempo of asymmetrical & hybrid warfare. The IRGC have stated that this is now an energy war after Israel struck Iranian oil infrastructure. Leftist media; journalists, politicians & bloggers who can’t keep up with President Donald J. Trump have upped their misinformation campaign against Ops Epic Fury & Roaring Lion. Much of the propaganda against US-ISRAEL has been traced to Chinese blogs.
8. Iran’s 88-member Assembly of Experts for Leadership elected Mojtaba Hosseini Khamenei as the new Supreme Leader of Iran. The hardline Shia Hojjatoleslam Cleric who is backed by IRGCC and the murderous blood-thirsty Basij militia is bound to escalate conflict with US & ISRAEL. Already Israeli SigInt has intercepted Coms from his Chief of Staff ordering Houthis to strike Saudi Arabia’s energy infrastructure.
9. The average international prices of crude oil have dropped 10%+ after President Donald Trump threatened to hit Iran 20 times harder & ensure the country will never be rebuilt again if the regime blocks the Straits of Hormuz. This again raises the possibility of the use of Nukes in the ongoing conflict. Iranians seem to have understood the message, President Trump ain’t bluffing!
