Iran Crisis & the 2026 War between Iran and the United States, Gulf States, and Israel - Please focus on news and coverage, not argumentation.

Pic of the bridges the US took out leading to Bandar Abbas. There were 6 in total. I would surmise this looks like they are denying trade and military forces from entering the area. Iran will quickly repair them.

I can't get an archive because WSJ is gay, but this is the main takeaway.

Iran’s leaders have historically proved willing to impose enormous costs on the population rather than accept demands they see as threatening the regime’s survival.

“Iran is prepared to pay a very, very high cost, including the continued blockade by the American side, in order to retain and sustain this control over the Strait of Hormuz going forward,” said Ellie Geranmayeh, an Iran expert at the European Council on Foreign Relations. “In the Iranian mentality, it’s just about surviving another day, and then another day.”
Trump needs to grow a pair and take out leadership again, otherwise hes in for a long and painful war of attrition for both sides.


As Iran sees it, the current calculus is this: They can wait out Trump and fuck him over with the energy markets until he loses the midterms and goes away. It only takes one drone or missile hit to a cargo ship to bring trade to a grinding halt.

The IRGC knows that the only way for the US to secure their objective of preventing the nuclear weapon is to secure the uranium. Their assumption is that Trump won’t risk a long ground operation for fear of casulaties or hostages. So far they are correct.

The US is going to have to forcibly take the uranium from Iran or kill the entire IRGC if they want a decisive and quick victory. Theres no negotiating or deal with the IRGC. To do so is suicide for them, so they will dig in an remain stubborn until they are JDAMed or someone takes away their uranium.
 
Kuwait's Ministry of Electricity, Water and Renewable Energy said on Friday that one of the country's power generation and water desalination plants had been hit in an Iranian attack.
The ministry said the attack caused a fire and damaged facilities and several power generation units. It said firefighters had brought the blaze under control and technical teams were working to repair the damage and restore the affected units while monitoring the stability of the electricity grid.
The ministry urged citizens and residents to reduce electricity consumption during what it described as this exceptional period and said it would provide updates through its official channels.

Another tanker got hit today on July 17th. Goes to show you just how hard it is to secure this one stupid corridor. Time to go full MacArthur.
 
Don't know how true this is. The Guardian is reporting it
the guardian is a mouthpiece for anti western propaganda and they dont even bother to hide it anymore. if theyre saying iran fired at american jets, the truth is more likely to be that iran did indeed fire at that location but the jets havent been stored there for 3 months.
 
Lots of UKMTO reports today though some are like 2 days old.

This could be from Iran but I can't say.
UKMTO has received a report of an incident involving a merchant vessel and military
forces in the Arabian Gulf.
Reports indicate that the tanker was subject to interactions as part of ongoing
military activity in the region.
Authorities are aware and relevant investigations remain ongoing.
Vessels are advised to consider the latest maritime security information and
maintain awareness of the evolving operational environment.
 
That nigga is beyond buck broken. You'd think they bombed his family or something but he's just some thirdworldist Aussie faggot.
The cope is amazing. Also I love how he completely ignores Israel like they haven't been the ones literally killing leadership. Nigga Iran was 1,000% cooked when a nation the size on NJ and an economy the size of Arizona is out there rocking your shit with such ruthless and tactical efficiency that the only nation to match it is the USA.

Oh he's RAPED. Which is hilarious considering the only thing he had to do was turn off the tv . He's not a Jew or even some GCC national or has direct family there, he's a fucking larper so he has zero connection to the land. Like if he were an actual member of Hezbollah I would understand but like all non neo-liberal/neo-con/MAGA types he worships a dead gay empire. And to paraphrase Trump: I don't support loosers.
