On February 28, Israel, backed by the United States, launched a large-scale air campaign against Iran. Within hours, the Persian Gulf was pulled into open conflict. States that had tried to remain neutral — Qatar, United Arab Emirates, Bahrain, and Oman — found themselves directly affected. The risk of escalation is increasing by the day, and new participants could still be drawn in.
The strategic stakes are enormous. The Gulf contains some of the world’s largest oil and gas reserves, and even limited instability here immediately shakes global markets. Traders expect energy prices to surge, shipping costs to rise, and inflationary pressure to spread far beyond the region.
Washington deployed additional aircraft, air defenses, and naval forces, creating a concentration of power comparable to Operation Desert Storm, though without a ground invasion. The opening wave of strikes targeted command centers, radar systems, air defenses, and airfields. The aim was to paralyze Iran’s military leadership and secure immediate control of the skies.
Among the targets was Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei, his compound was heavily bombed. Several senior commanders were reportedly killed in coordinated attacks as well. Strategic bombers struck underground nuclear and missile facilities, attempting to cripple Iran’s long-term capabilities.
However, the anticipated political collapse never materialized. Despite heavy losses at the top, Iran’s system adapted quickly. Successors were appointed, command channels were restored, and military units continued to function. What looked like a decapitation strike instead revealed a state structure that had prepared for exactly this scenario.
Iran’s response unfolded gradually but decisively. Waves of missiles and drones targeted American and allied bases across the region, hitting facilities in the countries of the Gulf. Ports, logistics hubs, and airfields suffered damage, while several strikes landed close to civilian districts, underscoring that the conflict had no clear front line.
Tehran’s most powerful lever remains economic pressure. The Strait of Hormuz carries a significant share of global oil exports, and even a partial disruption threatens worldwide shortages. Tankers have already come under attack, insurance rates are climbing, and shipping traffic is slowing.
For Washington, the objective is to force Iran back to negotiations and halt its nuclear and missile programs. For Tehran, success simply means endurance and the ability to impose costs on its adversaries. The broader consequences extend to China, which depends on Iranian oil, and Russia, which could profit from rising energy prices.
What began as a regional confrontation is rapidly becoming a global turning point. The outcome will not only decide Iran’s future but may also reshape the balance of power for years to come.

operation epstine is in full swing. destroying iranian police stations. expectation of israeli installed insurgent operations attempts expected by analysts. if iran survives the next 60 days intact, the global geopolitical shift will be epic
when ww2 began it was not called ww2. just like operation epstine is not called ww3 yet. the us is currently in how many international conflicts? i do not think even the us military complex knows this number. too many compartments
they have to fire another missile into pentagon, for to hide this misscalculation.
exactly to plan to collapse the whole economy to implement the wef great reset.
as a reminder :
1/ all the allies of the usa in east asia can now see with great accuracy how the us cares about and protect his allies other than israel.
2/ as a consequence of 1/ and depleting stocks of ad and other missiles, the usa can kiss its dreams of containing china goodbye.
iran turned out to be antifragile.
cue the jizz swallowing and anal penetration comments.. 3.. 2…
anglo anuz penetrated by muslims for 50 years
after we swallow persian jizz for a few weeks my lgbt americunt military will return to usa transgender dystopia for hillbilly sodomy lessons
using americunt anuz has been hebrew hobby for a century—now your colon filled with somali jizz
it was started by free masons had a cheap bridge for sale in north america. genocide was included, with small letters.
the strait of hormuz is already closed. iran has only used cheap and slow drones on those ships already hit. plenty of the conventional antiship missiles and the hypersonic antiship missiles are still in reserve. suicide sea drones, sea mines and torpedoes will soon enter the fray. oil and gas will hit all time highs in a couple of weeks. yemen is also getting ready to interdict marine traffic.
ballistic missiles still to come from north korea.
in your dreams .
mine also 🥰
sink the carriers. its very effective for to produce body bags from nazis.
sadly, yet again, iran appears to have no visible political agenda. least of all doing anything for the peoples of gaza and lebanon whom it abandoned immediately their wars began.
they’re entire navies gond down now they’re replacement leaders are said by imternet sources to all be dead now too . the hezbollah leaders reported to have been killed also.
america now is erasing their missile bases and then will send troops in to clean up .englands prime minister has agreed to send support services.
the uae and saudis gave the oil and they’re backing trump since itans been bombing their oil depots too .
so hate to burst your bubbles but your not going to take america down because its home to millions of moslems who love living there just like in canada and australia and they outnumber those wanting mullahs by about a 1000 to 1 imo allegedly they like current islam.
‘imo’ ‘allegedly’.
you are really substandard, and always have been. keep the cope flowing homer. 🙁
the joo trolls specialise in retarded semi literate obscene gibberish.
englands prime minister should have hanged long before you proved how bad snipers you have. in your dreams any troops from “us” will land in iran 😂 the quislings in the pretend countrys are exactly as the quisling in norway, but for the tradition, behead them. they should behead any “american” nazi on iranian soil, cia. and do not forget to sink the carriers.
and ? how often do you change clown 🤡 ? red nosed, or blue nosed, nothing change. the only solution to “us” are a final one. the missiles from iran are still arriving. the only ones missing, are a bunch of sarmat-2 from russia, if they work. mr putin should lend out his suitcase, for my kitchen experiments series.
they kill nazis, who have navigate to the wrong continent. well, the continent they come from, are also wrong for them. the only good nazi, are a dead nazi.
p.r.china isn’t affected, they have stabile flow from iran.
when my husband bibi says bend over i accept all hebrew peniz in my anuz
all americunt dream of sweeping floors at new york hebrew bagel factory
my dumb peasants like pay more for gas —they elect me cause i am a fart
the dumb peasants try to please the ill smelling, by shoot women in the face. for sure, the american dream have come true 😂 if you cant become a billionaire, you can at least shoot women in the face. empty the dustbin.
the radio silence in some very specific outlets and the high pizza index is very telling. something big is coming.
another 6 amerikunts on their way home from kuwait in body bags.
target the carriers ! sink them ! 5000 body bags are only a little reminder of the mass murder in the hospitals. free the world from 5000 nazis, only following orders.
200 murdered little girls cry out for vengeance. send the amerikunt vermin home in body bags. make them pay for ukraine and all their mayhem over the past 70 years.
it is since 1492, but the christians had not invented coincidence back then, they was to occupied by genocide. this with christianity are a bad joke, the only thing that happen, was that psychopaths get millions of serfs. the colony are created by the britts, and inherited by “us”, as the genocide in north america. they made it more effective, and nowadays only vote for murderers.
as a dumb crude vulgar americunt that has scrubbed jew toilets for shekelstein janitorial services past 41 yrs i am now qualified to lick somali peniz in minnesota
have you then not advance to the level of shoot women in the face, for the free and the brave ?
the nazi lebensraum rats, and they which spread “democracy” by trick movies and mass murder in the hospitals, are targeted over the whole mediterranean. faked ethnicity for mossad mass murderers do not help against missiles, and holiness by christian cannibals also useless. fire a missile on the pension stealing cannibals in stockholm also, for good measure. north korea, russia and china should put the mad “us” dog down, if not “multipolar” means mass murder in the hospitals.
americunt anuz on fire filled w spicy somali jizz
since inferior americunt failure vs iran—-gas up 20%…oil nearly the same–russian coal up 6%….russian palladium platinum up also…lemur brain americunts tantrum as 🇷🇺 liberates 3 more towns in ukraine past 24 hrs
hopefully, the shoot down of 3 “us” fighter jets in kuwait, was a result of override of the “friend or fo” function. hospital murders are a enemy to all of humanity. wipe out “us” their nuclear program are a danger to humanity 😂 that is, hollywoods trick movie unit are a danger to humanity, at least since the import of nazi germanys propaganda ministerium.
a suspicion, that iranian electronic warfare has helped to return the fighter jets to earth are visible on internet. either that, or some kind soul have mixter little patriotism into the patriots 😂 i see a video about a girl, sabotage a whole workshop floor with german tanks, by links from her bicycle chain 🥰
anglo amerikuntian empire of jew ass kissing burglary is going down in flames
i hope it dous because i want to liberate ourselves from these kike bastards who conspired to destroy iran syria iraq russia and ukraine. these kikes arent hiding it they are in a comitee free iran here the same kikes that run the israeli censor that pushes their narrative and punishes people who speak the truth about what they are doing. because antisemitism is speaking the truth about jews and what they are doing. alot of people are protesting against the war
i heard tel aviv is burning but cant find much on it
uk gas prices have doubled since saturday. this is just the beginning. early days yet.
i drive my motorcycle exactly 10 liters last summer, 200 km 😂 do not care about gas prices, but why do not this irritating parasite starmer hang ? and kill the mass murder of the jews in “us”, get your self better snipers. humans thoughts seems to be a product for sale, including newtons laws, and the will to suicide by poison. understand to what dept humanity have sunk.
the jooz seem to be getting smoked in tel aviv.. no air defence at all.
probably the effect of honour the victims of nazi germany by genocide.
shia uprising in bahrain against their quisling rulers. tel aviv being carpet bombed. looks really bad. people are rising up, but not like chumpo wanted. huge demonstrations in iran demanding revenge against the jewsa and the jooz.
jewsa embassy in pakistan under attack and being trashed. chumpo has just stirred up a hornet’s nest.
the system with kapos, used in the fake pandemic, do not work any more. its humilating to be used in that way. my theory are that the majority was kapos in the witch burnings. humanity destroyed by monsters. prices for hotel room up high in dubai after the attack, the swedish girl i read about, had to sleep in the handicap toilet 😂 its like the hotel are run by donald duck 😂 have sleep in the toilet in gbg botanic garden one night.
they should continue now, until the colony with fake ethnicity, and all “us” bases are out of the middle east. russia and china do a very cheap picture, are a multipolar world the same as genocide of the jews, and lebensraum for the nazis in asia, take what they want ?
iran will strike against europe, if they join the aggressor. good ! kill the nazi regimes, sending trick movies for to attack other religions than christianity, and mass murdering in the hospitals. they are also very keen on stealing pensions. based on my experience of farmers, i think that some of the killed in care homes, at the start of the fake pandemic, was killed by pillows. after that, they advanced to poison.
