Was There A Winner Last Night?

I’m getting a bit of a late start today—we stayed up later than usual and slept in to make up for it.

It appears that the US - Israeli attack on Iran is over, for the time being. Overall, the clear winner so far appears to be Russia and the BRICS movement in general, with Iran prominently included. In a sense, more than I expected, I seem to have been over the target yesterday when discussing Doug Macgregor’s gaming out of WW3. That’s not to say that Mac may not turn out to be on the money for the long term, but for now the caveats I mentioned—mostly having to do with factors that Mac mentioned but didn’t stress—appear to have heavily influenced the US - Israeli attack. Recall that those factors had to do with clear Russian warnings—actually, threats accompanying those warnings—and the prospect of a serious Iranian response that likely would be unstoppable. I cited the docs leak as evidence that the Pentagon wants no part of a direct conflict.

Thus, Russia wins and increases in prestige in global terms, and the BRICS group wins by association. In fact, the multiple reconciliations we’ve seen in the last week that are associated with the BRICS summit in Kazan—that’s in Russia, but the Eurasian symbolism of the chosen site is clear—make BRICS an even bigger winner than expected. We saw China and India coming to some sort of reconciliation regarding their decades long border spats—that’s huge, going forward, because India has always been key to the Anglo-Zionist strategy for surrounding, isolating, and subjugating China. We also saw Saudi Arabia and Iran agreeing to conduct joint naval exercises in the Persian Gulf—again, huge for any Anglo-Zionist prospect of isolating Iran and the flow of energy to India and China.

Lastly, but very from from least, Turkiye made its formal application to join BRICS. Mac has, all along, stressed the key role that Turkiye will most likely play in the region in coming days. Turkiye and Iran have been conducting high level meetings on a regular basis in recent months, including defense related talks. In that regard, Turkiye’s close Turkic partner Azerbaijan—which has had, at times, an antagonist relationship with Iran, hosting Israeli and MI6 presences—has also reconciled with Iran and Russia, seeking BRICS membership. These developments bode ill for Anglo-Zionist terror proxies in the region.

And, of course, Iran is, so far, a very big winner. It has, to an important degree, broken out of the Anglo-Zionist isolation strategy—accepted, now, as an important global partner in the BRICS movement. More than that, Iran’s standing as a major regional leader has been recognized by Arab countries. During the past several weeks Iran’s foreign minister has prominently visited major Arab nations, including Egypt. Today, Saudi Arabia, Oman, Qatar, and the UAE are all loudly condemning both the Anglo-Zionist attack on Iran last night as well as the Anglo-Zionist genocide against Palestinians.

All the above leaves Anglo-Zionist strategery in tatters, little more than a week before a very major US election. Deep State players—divided among themselves—will be pondering the future. The rise of Iran in the region—thanks to its ties to Russia and its own deft diplomacy—combined with the recognition of a complete NATO collapse in Ukraine will force reconsideration. Americans may not be thinking in those terms—yet. That day may be coming. In the meantime, with the Houthi blockade as effective as ever, with the limits to Israel’s power appearing to be limited to genocide aimed at weak populations, Israel’s future hangs in the balance. Worldwide revulsion at the Jewish supremacy movement is growing, as many commentators (Mearsheimer, et alii) have been explaining.

None of that means that the road ahead is smooth. The Anglo-Zionist Empire combine will be feeling desperate, and that’s a dangerous state of affairs. Nevertheless, the very real threat that a regional war could escalate into a nuclear war—given Resistance resolve—appears to have been the key factor in facing down the Empire, for now.

With those considerations, we turn to comments regarding last night’s attempted Israeli strike on Iran. Overall, it appears to have been largely ineffective—to the extent that Russian advice to Iran to declare victory and continue the war of attrition may carry the day. But the situation remains fluid. We can be sure it will develop.

Via MenchOsint:

The Israeli army says it has completed its overnight airstrikes against Iranian military sites in response to Iran’s attacks on Israel in recent months.

The name of the operation is dubbed by the military “Days of Repentance.”

I was wrong, this was an Israeli FPV drones (quadcopter) attack aimed at the Air Defenses bases being thwarted.

This may suggest that Anglo-Zionist terrorist proxies within Iran conducted these drone attacks, as also occurred back in April.

Iranian National Air Defense Headquarters, Statement:

—

"Despite previous warnings from officials of the Islamic Republic to the criminal and illegal Zionist regime to refrain from any adventurous actions, this fake regime launched a provocative attack early this morning, targeting military centers in the provinces of Tehran, Khuzestan, and Ilam.

The country’s integrated air defense system successfully intercepted and countered this aggressive action, resulting in limited damage to some areas. The extent of the incident is currently under investigation.

In this regard, we urge the public to maintain solidarity and calm and to follow news regarding these events through national media, disregarding rumors spread by enemy media."

It seems like Israel has conducted a limited attack on Iran tonight and is placing all its efforts on the media to make it look like it was a massive attack (see Al-Arabiya, Sky News ....)

Iran can ignore the attack, or legitimately destroy military targets in Israel in response.

*

Two Iranian Air Defense Force soldiers were martyred overnight while defending the country against Israel's attack.

Meaning probably an Air Defense system was hit.

Iran have no choice but to retaliate, and i believe it will do so in the next 48h.

*

Yesterday the US have reportedly used its Fighter jets to support Israel by jamming Iranian defense systems & monitoring Air Force/Air Defenses for them.

*

Qatar, Saudi Arabia, the UAE & Oman condemn Israeli attack on Iran.

*

Remains of Israeli air-launched ballistic missiles in Iraq (Silver/Blue Sparrow type) Reports say no Israeli fighter jet entered Iranian airspace, and this seems to confirm it.

Algeria also strongly condemns the Israeli occupation army agression on Iran, & expresses its solidarity with their Iranian brothers.

Algeria is a powerful player in both North Africa as well as in the Sahel region. It has close relations with Russia and receives military aid.

Turkey condemns Israel's attack on Iran in the strongest terms, emphasizes putting an end to Israeli terror in the region is now an historic task.

Israel killed Iranian Air defense operators in Iran

=> Iran has now the right to kill Air Defense operators in Israel, even the [American] ones that arrived recently 

Looks like the israeli attack was a very calculated move ...

JUST IN:  The Israeli army threatens Iran again, after the failed attack:

"If the regime in Iran makes the mistake and starts a new round of escalation - we will be obliged to respond."

He speaks in English because he appeals to the American tax payers who fund and arm Israel.

Megatron @Megatron_ron

Practically every politician in the USA, most likely under the orders of the Israeli lobby, wrote that they stand with Israel in the brutal genocide, massacre of children, destruction and burning of patients alive in hospitals.

BREAKING:

 The most vital target that Israel has managed to hit last night is one air defence system.

The Army of the Islamic Republic of Iran announced the death of two soldiers with its Air Defense Forces, who were killed as a result of an Israeli missile attack last night.
