Dramatic night as Saudi sources now claims Iranian intel ship Zagros (SIGINT) was sunk by U.S. forces at the same time the IDF conducts wide-ranging strikes in Gaza after Israel discovers Hamas was plotting another major Oct 7 style attack. Gaza ceasefire officially over, according to the Prime Minister’s office.

Reuters is also reporting ballistic missile movement at IRGC bases in Iran. There were also reports from Yemen (video) that several senior IRGC members were eliminated in US attacks on Houthi targets.

The Bible speaks of a time when Israel will be attacked in the future—- “ I will invade a land of unwalled villages; I will attack a peaceful and unsuspecting people—all of them living without walls and without gates and bars.” Ezekiel 38:11 Israel is the exact opposite of this now, it is walled and at war so something is going to happen to bring about a period of rest from its enemies and I’m wondering if Trump is the instrument through which this temporary peace will be brought about?

They were plotting another 10/7 attack… Apparently a lot more painful lessons need to be taught to these turd world savages. They were warned.

Had this been a drunken semi-retarded Kamala ‘presidency’, there would have been a word salad followed by Obama orchestrating a pallets of cash flown over to Iran.

And the reason the Saudis didn't do this a decade ago?

It's only 500 miles from Shia Sanaa to Sunni Mecca and don't think for a second that Iran doesn't intend to take advantage of that. So why are we acting the mercenary nation? To keep shipping lanes for oil to Europe open? Why aren't they paying for that?

Answers: To protect the reserve currency function of the dollar and to keep people with cash buying our bonds, cheap.

Hopefully the Houthis knock off their behavior since I really don’t want another Middle East War

I’ve read the Iranian Spy ship was providing targeting information to the Houthis, attempting to make their anti-ship missiles and drones much more accurate.

Everyone knows if the Red Sea cuts shut down, the cost of shipping good to the EU and UK becomes much more of an issue, instead of using the Suez Canal, cargo ships have to sail around South Africa to get to the EU and UK.

For all the howling about how the US is an unreliable partner, over the US position on the War in Ukraine, notice where the Navies of the UK, France, Germany and every other EU country are located, not in the battle to open up the Red Sea and Suez Canal, like usual who does it come down to keep the sealanes open around the world.

I doubt that the Houthis will

Just days ago they announced they’d be attack Israeli ships (IIRC)

Maybe they were planning on shooting more at Israel?

Well, they wanted war - apparently they got their wish

My point precisely. And look at who pays for it. It's ridiculous. One then has to ask why. That's my point about the dollar and our debts. After all, it wasn't until Saddam Hussein announced that he was going to trade for oil in Euros that Bush got serious about war in Iraq.

This is completely unconfirmed. Some moron named “Dr. Eli David” with a huge following on Twitter made this claim and a few others (3 U.S. carriers approach Iranian coast!) that got millions of views and then had to be debunked. He should really be suspended by Musk.

I see people using twitter saying there are Saudi reports. Where are the Saudi reports, even if in Farsi? Who are the people claiming this on X, and how reliable are they?

The longer this goes without any official statements by the US, Saudi, or Iranian government, the more this looks like the X.com rumor mill taking on a life of its own.

Besides, if the US wanted to really stick it to the Iranian Navy there are far better targets than the Zagros.
