Iran/US Update
Israel military is on alert for the possibility of a US response to Iran
Syrian sources indicate that ‘sensitive’ Syrian military installations are on heightened alert in anticipation of strikes. One of which is the T4 airbase. Appears to consist of bases with high numbers of Iranian personnel.
Houthi have launched more uav/cruse missiles at Saudi airfields.
Congressional leaders have had several briefings on the situation today.
Iran released a map showing the flight path of the MQ-4C. Even their figure show it clearly in international airspace.
All of this seems to indicate that a US strike of some size is expected in the near future. Currently night time in the ME.
full moon unless cruise is determined ... imho
Go camping for a weekend . . . .
Iran/US
Catching up on the news that POTUS stopped a military strike minutes before it was set to pull the tigger because he felt the loss of life wasn’t proportional to the loss of equipment. The target was Iranian air defense equipment/locations. Well I was on target last week saying those were the probable targets and that POTUS was going to be proportional with this response. His last minute recall was a good move IMHO because it grants his diplomatic staff to build up the resolve of supporting Gulf nations and other allies. Also, additional sanctions are being imposed. Iran responds that the only way to prevent war is to lift the sanctions.
The cyber attack apparently had some degree of success but hard to gauge. This does open the gate for more aggressive Iranian cyberattacks on us.
Iran’s military threatens more drone shoot downs as well as threatening US naval vessels. This would be a death wish as the POTUS has made it very clear - that is a red line of death for iran.
US force build up continues with the Navy reporting the USS Boxer is enroute to the Gulf.
Hindu business on line is reporting that the Shipping Corporation of India oil tanker Desh Vishal has become the first Indian-flagged crude carried to allow the Indian Navy to board the ship for escorts throughout the Persian Gulf.
Current evaluation - US and Iran are evaluating last week’s activity. While Iran got a publicity bounce from the shootdown, the event has provided more fuel for other gulf nations to be ready to push back. POTUS has the big hammer and Iran still knows it and shouldn’t see the US restraint as weakness.
CW2 -
New one here. Oregon senators leave the session to prevent voting on a disasterous environmental bill. Oregon Gov Brown threatens and orders state troopers to capture and return them.
This could become the first kenetic action. These senators are from very red areas of the state and local patriots are ready to defend them. This would be round three of patriots rising up. The actions of the Oregon state police in the Malhur incident is still fresh on the minds of many patriots. As the saying goes - you can vote yourself socialism but you have to shoot your way out. Keep monitoring.
Turkey/Greece
Tensions rising between these two countries as Turkey is seen as intruding on Greek territorial waters. This may be serving to deflect Turkish attentions from Erodegen’s recent elections losses.
Israel
Still preparing for potential Hezbollah/Iranian supported attacks. Any attacks would likely be in response to US strikes as any strikes by Iran (or its proxies) at this level would cross the clearly stated red line the POTUS has laid out.
Leftist/Antifa
Well school’s out and antifa is becoming more aggressive. Doxxing campaigns on Tucker Carlson and threat to new Freshmen at UT Austin are just the beginning. Major socialist democrat lead urban areas may see increasing activity as the summer progresses.
Belgium
Terrorist arrested for plot against the US embassy. As the situation with Iran continues, I expect more of these type of plots to pop up.
