HAPPENING NOW 🚨 The U.S. has just launched a... devastating attack on Tehran. ​This is a direct response to Iran’s missiles hitting a U.S. military base in Jordan that killed two American soldiers, with another missing. This video has been shared by Trump advisor Dan Scavino. U.S. strikes on Iran Regime infrastructure over the past 7 days have plunged Iran into an existential crisis by systematically severing the Regime’s economic and military supply arteries, according to a new report by the Telegraph. U.S. strikes have obliterated critical bridge, railroad, and transportation networks connecting the strategic port city of Bandar Abbas to the rest of Iran. This port city of 500,000 people handles about half or Iran’s international trade. More importantly, Iran’s primary naval headquarters is now trapped in the city. This naval HQ is crucial to the IRGC’s ability to terrorize commercial ships in the Strait of Hormuz . . . and is being hit three times a day by U.S. air strikes. By turning this Regime military hub into rubble and severing Bandar Abbas from the mainland, the U.S. both chokes off Iran’s economic lifeblood and prevents Iran from terrorizing commercial ships in the Strait of Hormuz. Meanwhile, devastating air strikes by the USA have methodically destroyed Iran’s critical transport infrastructure, including the logistical spine of the Hormozgan Province. The strategic Shahid Mirzayi Tunnel (Glogah) is now collapsed. Two crucial bridges lying just beyond the valley were obliterated. USA firepower has destroyed the Minab exit intersection bridge and entirely destroyed the crucial River Shur bridge along the primary Bandar-Abbas–Sirjan transit route. As a result, the Strait of Hormuz coastline is now completely severed from Iran's interior supply lines. The Regime can still get a few random missiles off. But that's about it. Iran’s mountainous topography provides a formidable natural defense for the Iran Regime, allowing it to hide its weapons systems and hide themselves. But because escape and supply routes are few, this same mountain terrain also creates a box, a trap for the Regime because once the supply and escape routes are destroyed, the Regime is effectively in a prison of its own creation — a kill box. We then just starve them economically — where nothing gets in or out of the country until the Regime collapses and gets the Gaddafi treatment.show more

🚨 BREAKING NEWS: U.S. Forces have begun strikes against... Iran in retaliation for Iran's attacks against civilian, commercial shipping. The video below shows explosions at Iranian military and infrastructure sites near the Port of Shahid Haqqani in Bandar Abbas, Southern Iran. U.S. CENTCOM: "U.S. Central Command forces have begun launching a series of powerful strikes against Iran to impose heavy costs for targeting and attacking commercial shipping crewed by innocent civilians in an international waterway. The U.S. strikes are in response to Iranian attacks on three commercial vessels that were transiting the Strait of Hormuz. Iran’s demonstrated aggression was unwarranted, dangerous, and a clear violation of the ceasefire." 📷 OSINTdefendershow more

🔥🚨 BREAKING — The U.S. military has conducted strikes... against Iranian drones and destroyed a drone-launching unit after Iran fired at a U.S. Navy ship. Iran also reportedly fired at a commercial vessel in the Strait of Hormuz. Explosions were reported in Bandar Abbas, according to Axios. Officials told Reuters the action was taken to protect U.S. forces and maritime traffic in the critical waterway. These are described as defensive measures in response to direct Iranian aggressionshow more

BREAKING: Iran named a warship after the general who... spent his career threatening to close the Strait of Hormuz. The US just lit it on fire in the Strait of Hormuz. The IRIS Shahid Sayyad Shirazi, a Soleimani-class corvette, is burning at Bandar Abbas right now. Footage is out. The smoke is visible from the port. Bandar Abbas is not a random target. It is Iran’s primary naval base. It sits directly at the mouth of the strait that carries 20% of the world’s oil. This is not a ship that was sunk in the Indian Ocean four thousand miles away. This is Iran’s naval guardian, on fire, at the gate it was built to defend. A week ago, Admiral Brad Cooper said the US had destroyed 17 Iranian ships. Then the IRIS Dena went down near Sri Lanka. Now a corvette is burning at the crown jewel of Iran’s entire naval posture. Here is what the Strait of Hormuz looks like right now. 85% reduction in maritime traffic. Iran threatening closure. The vessel specifically designed to enforce that threat is on fire at the base that commands the chokepoint. Iran cannot close the Strait. Iran cannot defend the Strait. Iran cannot patrol the Strait. The force built to do all three is being systematically destroyed at its own piers. Every tanker captain, every shipping insurer, every energy desk pricing this conflict as a 4-to-5-week regional event needs to look at that footage and ask a different question. Not when does the war end. When does the traffic come back. Those are not the same question. And only one of them is priced.show more

BREAKING: President Trump Just Went Inside the Situation Room... Trump has unleashed the full might of the U.S. military on Iran. The Navy is enforcing a full blockade and the military is carrying out massive air strikes. The U.S. military destroyed one oil tanker that tried to get to Iran’s Kharg Island. President Trump is monitoring the air strikes from the Situation Room.show more

🚨🇺🇸🇮🇷Reports from across Iran describe another day of widespread... strikes hammering IRGC, police, and military sites. In Isfahan, IRGC headquarters, police command centers, and Basij facilities were all hit. Far to the south, Bushehr took heavy bombardment targeting air and naval bases along with multiple military complexes. Qom’s Safaiyeh district was also hit early in the morning, while in Bandar Abbas, residents say missiles have been slamming into military sites on the western edge of the city since dawn. In both Tehran and Tabriz, witnesses say regime forces have begun occupying schools and universities as improvised bases, a sign of how rattled and stretched the system has become as strikes roll across the country. Iran’s security apparatus is taking hits from every direction, and the regime is now digging in anywhere it can. Source: Open Source Intelshow more

‼️‼️🇺🇸🇮🇷 U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) has reportedly maintained a... sustained air campaign, with strikes hitting locations across southern Iran, including Qeshm Island and Hormozgan Province. The Strait of Hormuz remains a central flashpoint. The U.S. is currently enforcing a naval blockade, leading to increased tensions and the rerouting of commercial shipping away from the Persian Gulf due to the high risk of kinetic engagement. Recent strikes have targeted vital nodes across southern Iran, including Qeshm Island, Bandar Abbas, Chabahar, Iranshahr, and Bandar-e Khamir. The situation remains highly volatile as the Iranian leadership threatens to retaliate against regional infrastructure should the U.S. continue its aerial campaign. See the latest updates with us: Visionershow more

🚨 BREAKING: DRONE PRODUCTION FACILITY HIT IN IRAN Reports... indicate that a drone manufacturing unit linked to the Iranian regime has been targeted in Isfahan during ongoing U.S. and Israeli air operations. Isfahan is a critical hub for Iran’s military industry, housing facilities tied to missile systems, airbases, and drone production used by the regime and its regional proxies. The strike comes amid a broader campaign aimed at degrading Iran’s military infrastructure — particularly its drone and missile capabilities, which have been used to threaten Israel, U.S. forces, and Gulf states. In recent years, Iranian-designed drones such as the Shahed series have become a central weapon in Tehran’s strategy across multiple conflicts. If confirmed, this latest strike would mark another significant blow to the regime’s ability to produce and deploy these systems. The battle over Iran’s military infrastructure is clearly intensifying.show more

The U.S. is currently launching airstrikes on Southern Iran,... namely the cities of Qeshm, Sirik and Bandar Abbas in breach of the ceasefire, confirmed by U.S. Central Command, which in a statement claimed the strikes were in retaliation for alleged Iranian targeting of three commercial vessels attempting to pass through the Strait of Hormuz. It is worth noting that reports surfaced this week that the Trump administration had guaranteed a 7-day 'pause' in attacks in light of the funeral of the late Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei, whom Israel assassinated in coordination with the U.S earlier this year.show more

🔴 Public Protests in Khomam, Gilan Province Residents of... the city of Khomam, in Iran’s northern Gilan Province, took to the streets in protest against repeated and prolonged cuts to water, electricity, and gas supplies. This is yet another example in a growing wave of public unrest across Iran, reflecting the regime’s utter failure to provide even the most basic services to its citizens. The Islamic Republic is a terrorist, corrupt, and incompetent regime. It is not the solution to Iran’s crises — it is the source of them. This regime must go.show more

Iran: The U.S. has made a serious mistake. The... response will be sharp and disproportionate. Iran's Response will be HUGE from what I am reading NEW footage of the U.S. attack on Shahid Haqqani Port in Bandar Abbas, Iran.

Quick recap of today’s sequence of events: via Brodie... K. - Analyze & Educate “Summary: Resumption of Iranian strikes - Yesterday, UKMTO reported that a vessel off the coast of the UAE was struck by a projectile. Subsequently, the government of the UAE released a statement saying thag the targeted vessel was an ANDOC national tanker and condemned the Iranian strikes. - Early Morning: Likely in reaction to the declaration of the U.S.-led Project Freedom, the IRGC-N announced the creation of a new control area in the Strait of Hormuz and threatened to strike violating parties. - Iran claimed to have targeted and struck an unspecified U.S. destroyer that was in the Strait of Hormuz. CENTCOM subsequently denied that a vessel was struck, but stopped short of clarifying whether or not any vessels were targeted. -Mid-morning: Iran resumed ballistic missile and drone strikes against the UAE, targeting the UAE’s primary oil and gas export location of Fujairah. - In response to the Iranian uptempo in strikes and offensive action the U.S. struck 6-7 Iranian fast-craft operating in the locality of the Strait of Hormuz. - Iran continued strikes against the UAE. At the time of writing, per the UAE Ministry of Defense, since the resumption of Iranian strikes, Iran has launched 4 UAVs, 12 ballistic missiles, and 3 cruise missiles at the UAE. 3 Indian nationals have been moderately injured as a result. - Gulf nations, including Kuwait, Qatar, and Saudi Arabia, have condemned Iran’s actions.”show more

💢 NEW: Iran’s IRGC claimed it struck the U.S.-operated... Prince Hassan Air Base in Jordan with several ballistic missiles, destroying a command-and-control center and hangars housing MQ-9 drones. In a statement carried by Fars, the IRGC accused Washington of pressuring Oman and encouraging several vessels to use what Iran described as an unauthorized route through the southern Strait of Hormuz. It said the Iranian navy stopped the ships with a “decisive response.” The IRGC said the U.S. then launched airstrikes on Iranian coastal bases and communications towers along the country’s southern coast. Iran responded by targeting U.S. military facilities across the Gulf, beginning with key infrastructure at Prince Hassan Air Base.show more

🚨 STRAIT OF HORMUZ FLASHPOINT Reports are emerging that... U.S. forces have struck several Iranian vessels near the port of Bandar Lengeh in southern Iran within the past few hours. Bandar Lengeh sits directly along the Strait of Hormuz — one of the most strategically critical waterways on Earth, through which a large share of the world’s oil supply passes. If confirmed, the incident would mark another major escalation in the maritime battle now unfolding across the Gulf. The Strait of Hormuz has already been under severe pressure, with shipping disruptions and attacks on vessels raising fears for global energy markets. When military strikes begin targeting ships in this corridor, the consequences can ripple far beyond the region. The world’s most important energy chokepoint is now at the center of the conflict.show more

🚨 U.S. STRIKES IRAN’S UNDERGROUND MISSILE SITES IN HORMUZ... ESCALATION U.S. forces have directly hit underground Iranian missile installations along the Strait of Hormuz using 5,000-lb GBU-72 bunker-buster bombs, according to CENTCOM. These weren’t symbolic strikes. They targeted hardened anti-ship cruise missile positions — the very systems threatening global shipping and energy supply. This is a clear message: The U.S. is prepared to neutralise threats at their source — even deep underground. The Strait of Hormuz carries roughly 20% of the world’s oil. Any disruption sends shockwaves through: Energy markets Global trade Every household relying on fuel and supply chains And while the United States is taking decisive action to secure one of the most critical choke points on Earth… Where are its allies? Once again, Washington is doing the heavy lifting — confronting a direct threat to global stability — while much of the Western alliance hesitates on the sidelines. This isn’t just a strike. It’s a demonstration of capability, intent, and leadership. The question now is how Iran responds… And whether the rest of the world finally steps up — or continues to watch from a distanceshow more

🚨 MAJOR STRIKE IN IRAN Reports say the armored... corps base in Ahvaz, Iran has been destroyed. This base is where Iran’s tanks and armored units are stationed and coordinated in the southwest of the country.

Here's what you missed over the weekend in the... ongoing conflict in Iran. Get caught up below👇 🚨 OPERATIONAL UPDATE: ISRAEL U.S. WAR WITH THE ISLAMIC REPUBLIC - Reporting Window: 3/27 - 3/30 *⃣ Israel sustained a wide strike campaign inside Tehran, targeting missile production, air defense systems, and core regime infrastructure in the capital. *⃣ The IAEA confirmed Iran’s Khondab heavy water facility at Arak is no longer operational after Israeli strikes, marking one of the clearest verified hits to nuclear-linked infrastructure. *⃣ Iran continued missile attacks into Israel, including impacts near the Neot Hovav industrial zone that caused fires and industrial disruption without mass casualties. *⃣ The Houthis in Yemen officially entered the war, launching ballistic missiles and drones toward Israel and signaling continued attacks. *⃣ The Gulf front intensified, with damage to infrastructure in Kuwait and sustained pressure tied to the Strait of Hormuz and regional energy systems. *⃣ The United States is now weighing escalation options tied to Iran’s enriched uranium stockpile while maintaining a public posture of diplomacy. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ ✈️ STRATEGIC AIR CAMPAIGN OVER IRAN Israel’s campaign seems to have shifted from targeting regime objectives and symbols, like Basij headquarters, to industrial and military complex infrastructure. This is likely due to a prioritization to degrade the long term capabilities of the regime should the conflict end before regime change objectives can be achieved. Sustained strikes across Tehran, combined with the confirmed disabling of the Arak heavy water facility, show a shift toward dismantling Iran’s military and nuclear backbone. This is now a campaign against production, command, and regeneration capacity. Power disruptions and secondary infrastructure damage across Tehran reinforce that this is expanding beyond military sites into the broader ecosystem that sustains the regime’s ability to fight. This is not a temporary degradation effort. It is structural. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 🚀 IRANIAN ATTACKS ON ISRAEL Iran is still firing. But the pattern has changed. Missile attacks continue across Israel, including impacts in the south and repeated alerts across multiple regions. The strike near Neot Hovav fits the current model: disruption, not mass casualties. Launch tempo is down significantly from earlier phases, but the capability remains intact. What matters now is not volume. It’s persistence. Iran can still impose pressure. It just can’t dominate the battlefield in any meaningful way. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 🟥 YEMEN FRONT: HOUTHIS ENTER THE WAR The Houthis officially joined the war on March 28, launching ballistic missiles toward Israel for the first time in this conflict and signaling continued operations going forward. Since then additional drone launches toward Israel have been reported and intercepted. The group has framed its attacks as part of a unified “resistance front” alongside Iran, Hezbollah, and Iraqi militias. This matters for three reasons: 1. Range and geography - Yemen is over 2,000 km away. These are long-range strikes that stretch Israel’s defensive envelope. 2. Multi-front pressure - Israel is now dealing with Iran (direct), Hezbollah (north), Houthis (south / long-range). That is a true multi-front war. 3. Escalation pathway - The Houthis are not limited to Israel. They sit on the Bab al-Mandeb Strait, one of the most critical shipping chokepoints in the world. If they escalate there, it links directly with Hormuz. This could even further choke critical shipping lanes in the global economy. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 🌍 GULF / HORMUZ / ENERGY WAR Iran is now fully leaning into economic warfare. Confirmed damage to infrastructure in Kuwait, combined with continued disruption around Hormuz, shows a deliberate strategy: expand the cost of the war beyond Israel. This is not incidental escalation. It is strategic leverage. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 🇺🇸 POLITICAL / STRATEGIC DEVELOPMENTS The United States is now the pivot. The public posture is diplomacy and de-escalation messaging. The operational reality is that troop deployments are increasing, escalation planning is underway, and uranium-targeting scenarios are under consideration. At the same time, Iran is not signaling compromise. It is mobilizing, expanding proxy activity, and behaving like a regime preparing for a longer war and signaling it can outwait it's adversaries. That gap is now one of the most important dynamics in the conflict. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 📌 WHAT MATTERS MOST RIGHT NOW ➡️ Israel is systematically dismantling Iran’s military and nuclear-supporting infrastructure, with Tehran now a primary focus. ➡️ Iran still has strike capability, but its attacks are increasingly intermittent but now beginning to be supplemented by proxy fronts in Lebanon and Yemen. ➡️ The Gulf and global energy system are a growing target for the IRGC's war trajectory. ➡️ The United States is positioned between diplomacy and escalation, with the ability to decisively shift the war if it acts. Bottom line, this is no longer just Israel vs Iran. It is now: Iran, Hezbollah, Houthis VS the US, Israel, Gulf States, and the global economy.show more

🚨OPERATIONAL UPDATE: ISRAEL U.S. WAR WITH THE ISLAMIC REPUBLIC... - Reporting Window: 3/14 to 3/16 • The war widened further into the Gulf economy, with drone incidents near Dubai Airport, disruption at Fujairah energy infrastructure (also in the UAE), and continued pressure around the Strait of Hormuz • Israel continued deep strike waves inside Iran while expanding ground operations against Hezbollah in southern Lebanon • Iran continued missile salvos toward Israel while activating proxy pressure fronts across Iraq • The U.S. began pushing for a multinational Hormuz security coalition while calibrating escalation to avoid a global oil shock The last 48 hours showed that the war is no longer just about missile exchanges between Israel and Iran. It is increasingly a contest over the regional system itself: energy flows, maritime routes, proxy networks, and command infrastructure. While Israel continues to degrade Iran’s military capabilities, Iran is trying to widen the battlefield economically and geographically. 📽️VIDEO 1: U.S. strikes on Iran’s Kharg Island oil export hub. 📽️VIDEO 2: Smoke rising from oil infrastructure in Fujairah after drone debris caused a fire. *⃣ GULF FRONT: THE ECONOMIC WAR DEEPENED This remained the most strategically important development. Following earlier strikes around Kharg Island and threats to the Strait of Hormuz, pressure on Gulf infrastructure continued. Drone incidents and debris related fires disrupted operations near Fujairah’s energy infrastructure, one of the world’s largest bunkering hubs in the UAE. Shortly afterward, a drone related incident near Dubai International Airport ignited a fuel tank and temporarily disrupted flight operations before authorities contained the fire and resumed traffic. These incidents show the war repeatedly touching civilian energy and logistics infrastructure in the UAE, not just military facilities. Even limited disruptions matter in this region. The Strait of Hormuz handles roughly 20 percent of global oil supply, and repeated incidents have pushed oil prices above $100 during the week. Iran does not need to fully close Hormuz to achieve strategic leverage. Persistent disruption alone can force insurance spikes, rerouting of shipping, and higher global energy prices. *⃣ KHARG ISLAND: IRAN’S ECONOMIC JUGULAR IS NOW UNDER DIRECT PRESSURE One of the most consequential developments in the war involves Kharg Island, Iran’s primary oil export terminal. Historically, roughly 85 to 90 percent of Iran’s crude exports pass through Kharg, making it the single most important node in the country’s energy economy. Recent U.S. strikes targeted military infrastructure associated with IRGC naval operations near the island, particularly facilities linked to mine laying capability and coastal missile systems. These strikes appear connected to Washington’s warning that Iran must not deploy naval mines in the Strait of Hormuz. There are also scattered reports of secondary explosions and possible infrastructure damage near the port, though there is no credible confirmation that the export terminal itself has been destroyed. That distinction is important. Destroying Kharg outright would cripple Iran’s oil exports overnight and likely trigger a massive oil price spike. Instead, the current targeting pattern appears designed to threaten Iran’s economic lifeline without fully collapsing it, maintaining pressure while avoiding the most extreme global economic consequences. *⃣ IRAN: STRIKES INSIDE THE CORE CONTINUED Inside Iran, Israeli strike activity remained intense. Over the last 48 hours, strikes targeted command infrastructure, missile launch systems, air defense networks, and military production sites across Tehran and other strategic locations. The campaign also hit Mehrabad Airport, where Israeli officials reported destroying aircraft associated with Iran’s leadership. Across central and western Iran, the strike map remains broad. Tehran, Karaj, and several other military zones have continued to appear in overnight strike reporting. This suggests the campaign is still focused on systematically degrading Iran’s military capacity, particularly missile infrastructure and command networks. Rather than shifting toward a narrow endgame phase, the strikes indicate a continued effort to keep Iran’s launch capabilities suppressed. *⃣ LEBANON: THE NORTHERN FRONT IS EXPANDING The Lebanon front also escalated further. Israeli forces expanded ground operations in southern Lebanon and reportedly encircled Khiyam, pushing westward toward the Litani River. This represents a larger ground posture than earlier border operations and indicates Israel is attempting to shape the battlefield against Hezbollah rather than simply retaliating against rocket launches. At the same time, Hezbollah continued firing rockets and drones toward northern Israel, maintaining pressure on the northern front even after suffering extensive infrastructure losses earlier in the war. Israel has continued heavy strikes on Hezbollah infrastructure in Lebanon, including operational sites and logistical facilities tied to the group’s missile network. The northern theater now appears to be entering a phase of attrition and positional pressure, rather than the limited cross border exchanges that characterized earlier weeks. *⃣ IRAQ: PROXY PRESSURE ON THE UNITED STATES CONTINUES Iran aligned militias continued attacks on U.S. positions across Iraq. Over the past several days these groups have launched drones and rockets against American bases and diplomatic infrastructure, including a missile strike on the helipad area of the U.S. embassy compound in Baghdad. These attacks serve two purposes: ➡️First, they impose direct costs on U.S. operations in the region. ➡️Second, they force the United States to divert resources toward base defense and interception missions. Even when damage is limited, the attacks expand the battlefield and complicate the operational environment for U.S. forces. *⃣ IRANIAN MISSILE ATTACKS CONTINUE Iran continued launching missiles toward Israel during this period. Several salvos targeted southern Israel and the Negev region, triggering repeated air raid alerts. Despite continued launches, the overall military impact of these attacks appears limited. Israeli air defense systems including Iron Dome, David’s Sling, and U.S. systems such as THAAD have maintained high interception rates. Iran is still able to launch missiles and drones, but the sustained strikes on launchers, command centers, and production facilities appear to be reducing the scale of its barrages compared to the opening days of the war. *⃣ WASHINGTON: TRUMP SIGNALS A LONGER STRATEGIC GAME The political messaging from Washington over the past 48 hours has also clarified the broader strategic direction. Publicly, Trump has suggested the war could end soon and that most major Iranian targets have already been struck. Operationally, however, the signals point toward preparation for a longer campaign. Washington has begun pushing for a multinational coalition to secure the Strait of Hormuz, urging countries that depend on Gulf energy flows to participate in maritime security operations. At the same time, the United States has been careful not to push escalation to the point of triggering a global energy shock. This balancing act helps explain why certain targets, such as Kharg Island’s export terminal, have been threatened but not completely destroyed. The strategic posture appears to be: ➡️sustain pressure on Iran’s military capability ➡️protect global energy flows ➡️avoid triggering a catastrophic oil price spike Israel’s priorities are somewhat different. Israel is focused primarily on maximizing military degradation of Iran and Hezbollah, even if that increases regional escalation risks. The dynamic between Washington’s economic caution and Israel’s military pressure is likely to shape the next phase of the conflict. *⃣ WHAT CHANGED IN THE LAST 48 HOURS Three developments stand out: ➡️First, the Gulf economic front is becoming central to the war. Drone incidents near Dubai and Fujairah show that the conflict is now directly touching regional infrastructure and global energy flows. ➡️Second, Israel continues to widen the battlefield rather than narrow it. Deep strikes inside Iran and expanded operations in Lebanon suggest the campaign is still in a degradation phase. ➡️Third, the United States is beginning to shift toward coalition management of the conflict, particularly around Hormuz, while trying to prevent the war from triggering a global energy crisis. In short, the war is evolving from a direct military confrontation into a broader struggle over regional stability, energy flows, and long term strategic balance in the Middle East.show more
