Israel announces strikes on Iran (video)​

2022-09-14
Israel announced that it had received carte blanche from the United States for strikes against Iran.

According to Israeli Prime Minister Yair Lapid, the Israeli side received from the United States the right to complete freedom of action against Iran. In fact, we are talking about the announcement of direct hostilities against Iran. Moreover, which is very remarkable, Israel will almost certainly be ready to start hostilities against the Islamic Republic if Tehran aggravates against Azerbaijan, which is one of the few allies of Israel, since the Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps has already been seen transferring military equipment towards the border with Azerbaijan.

It is known that Israel was actively negotiating with the United States to obtain support in the event of the outbreak of hostilities against Iran, and, probably, the corresponding negotiations for Israel ended positively.

At the moment, the situation on the border of Armenia, Azerbaijan and Iran remains extremely tense - Azerbaijan, after a short truce, resumed strikes on the territory of Armenia, while Iranian drones were seen 20 kilometers from the border with Azerbaijan. According to the Ministry of Defense of the Republic of Armenia, the situation on the border with Azerbaijan is extremely acute.

All I hear about are the Mahsa Amini protests in Iran. I haven't heard of this terrorist attack on mainstream news yet to which Putin already sent his condolences:

“It is difficult to imagine a more cynical crime than the murder of civilians, including children and women, in a religious shrine. Once again, we have seen that terrorism violates not only laws, but also the norms of human morality.

I would like to confirm Russia’s readiness to further expand antiterrorist cooperation with our Iranian partners.”

The President of Russia asked to convey words of sympathy and support to the victims’ families, as well as wishes of a speedy recovery to all those injured.

Over a Dozen Dead, Scores Injured After Armed Group Opens Fire Near Mausoleum in Iran​

Oct. 27, 2022

The Shah Cheragh funerary monument and mosque in Shiraz, southern Iran is one of the holiest sites in the Shia Islamic faith, becoming a major pilgrimage site in the 14th century.

A gunman or gunmen opened fire at the Shah Cheragh mausoleum and mosque complex in Shiraz on Wednesday, killing at least 15 people, including at least one woman and two children, and injuring 45 others.

Local media have issued conflicting reports on the number of attackers involved, with the attack reportedly perpetrated by between one and three individuals. Two suspects are said to have been detained, with a third feared to have escaped.

Footage emerged on social media showing security cam footage of an attacker entering the mosque facility.

Senior Fars Province official Esmail Mohebi-Pour said terrorists opened fire on parishioners as they were gathered for evening prayers.
Sources told the Nour News Agency that the suspected terrorists are not Iranian nationals. Sputnik Persian reported that Daesh (ISIS)* has claimed responsibility for the carnage.

The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps' Quds Force, an elite military formation responsible for Iranian military operations abroad, proved instrumental in pushing back Daesh's self-proclaimed 'caliphate' between 2014 and 2017, helping to organize Shia self-defense militias in Iraq, and to coordinate Syrian and Hezbollah forces during operations alongside Russia against the terrorists in the Arab Republic. The operations of the Quds Force and its allies helped save the lives of hundreds of thousands of Sunnis, Shia and Christians in Iraq and Syria.

President Ebrahim Raisi expressed his condolences to victims, their families, and all Iranians in the wake of Wednesday's attack, characterizing it as "another crime added to the list of atrocities committed by the enemies of the Islamic Revolution" and calling for national unity.

"Experience shows that Iran's enemies avenge their desperation, casting the stone of violence and terror to create a split in the close-knit ranks of the Iranian nation to stop the country's progress," Raisi said.

The president emphasized that Wednesday's "evil" act would not go unanswered, and that "the security and law enforcement agencies, having identified all aspects of this crime, will give a crushing and instructive response to the paymasters and commanders behind this terrorist attack."

Raisi later took to Telegram and continued to express sympathy for the victims and scorn for those responsible for the attack.

"I offer my condolences to the families of the victims and all the people of Iran amid the martyrdom of a group of pilgrims to the shrine, the Shah Cheragh mausoleum, in a terrorist attack... This evil will definitely not go unanswered... The security forces... will give a crushing and a cautionary response to the leaders of this attack," Raisi said on Telegram.

Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Nasser Kanaani tweeted Wednesday night that the holy site at Shah Cheragh had been "drowned in blood," and slammed the "false defenders of human rights" attempting to overthrow the government, suggesting that "behind their apparently humanitarian statements and false claims, they sought precisely these kinds of scenes of violence and bloodshed for the people of Iran. For them, the ends justify the means."

House Speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf accused the social forces which have caused unrest across much of Iran over the past month of "laying the groundwork for the enemy's plots," culminating in Wednesday's terror attack. Interior Minister Ahmad Vahidi similarly criticized protesters, saying that terrorists took advantage of the atmosphere of social unrest in the country to act.

Iranian security forces have been stretched thin by over a month of protests following the September 15 death of Mahsa Amini, a 22-year-old woman who fell into a coma and died in hospital several days after being detained by Iran's morality for allegedly wearing her headscarf improperly. Western media and Iranian opposition forces immediately alleged that Amini died from injuries sustained from beatings by police. However, authorities later released CCTV footage showing that the young woman did not appear to face any forms of physical abuse while in custody. Tehran has blamed its arch-enemy Israel and the United States for fomenting the unrest in a bid to overthrow the government.

The Amini protests began a day after Iran signed a memorandum to join the Shanghai Cooperation Organization, a Eurasian political, economic and security bloc whose other members include China, Russia and India.

Iran attacked an American Boeing P-8A Posedon anti-submarine aircraft over the Gulf of Oman
An American Boeing P-8A Poseidon aircraft was attacked by the Iranian military over the Gulf of Oman.

When an American military patrol reconnaissance aircraft Boeing P-8A Poseidon tried to approach the borders of Iran in the Gulf of Oman, the latter was attacked by units of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps. It is known that the plane was not damaged, however, the board was at a low altitude and, probably, for this reason, it was able to survive.

According to the Iranian media, the American military patrol aircraft Boeing P-8A Poseidon tried to conduct reconnaissance near the borders of Iran, however, the crew of the latter did not take into account information that the Iranian military is conducting military exercises. As a result of an attempt to conduct reconnaissance, an American Boeing P-8A Poseidon aircraft crossed the trajectory of the Karar drone and ended up in the opening fire zone. It is known that the shooting was conducted simultaneously on a training drone and on an American aircraft.

It is known that Iran warned in a timely manner that it intended to conduct military exercises in this part of the Gulf of Oman, however, the American military board ignored it, as a result of which it was almost shot down.

Less and less it turns out the world hegemon to hegemonize
The Iranian fleet "Zolfakar" blocked the American helicopter carrier, threatening to shoot down all helicopters and sink the ship
The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) of Iran reported a naval incident with the United States in the Strait of Hormuz. This happened shortly after the United States sent more than 3,000 marines to the Persian Gulf in order to protect commercial tankers from possible acts of piracy by Iran.

According to representatives of the IRGC, their boats during the patrol found an American helicopter carrier in the waters of the strait, from which several helicopters took off. In response, Iran sent additional forces to the ship, including drones, which filmed the US aircraft and the Zolfakar flotilla.

When Iranian forces surrounded the American helicopter carrier, the IRGC command demanded that the ship's crew immediately return the helicopters that took off back to the deck. In the face of the threat of the use of air defense against these helicopters, the American ship immediately complied with the demands of the Iranians.

This incident highlights the utter impotence of the United States in this region.

Cooperation is what Russia has always sought.
Iran approves 20-year cooperation agreement with Russia
Iran's Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei has approved a new 20-year comprehensive cooperation agreement between Iran and Russia. This document, replacing the previous agreement, significantly expands the scope and duration of mutual relations between the two countries, surpassing it in scale.

According to the new agreement, Russia receives the primary right to extract minerals in the Iranian part of the Caspian Sea, including the huge Chalus deposit. Russia has also been granted production rights in large Iranian oil and gas fields in Khorramshahr and nearby Ilam provinces.

In addition, the treaty establishes economic advantages for Russia, including the official setting of prices for industrial goods traded between the countries and the conditions for the export of Iranian goods to Russia. It is noted that the income from exports to Russia will be stored in the form of a loan in the Central Bank of Russia.

The document also covers issues of infrastructure development in Iran, including the modernization of ports where Russia plans to carry out reconstruction.

This agreement will significantly change the political and economic landscape of the Middle East, Southern Europe and Asia. Iran will have an expanded military and political reach, giving it more leverage in the region. Thus, Iran will become a super-regional power, which will significantly change the balance of power in the region.

There is also a Sky News report going around, being quoted all over X and Telegram, with the phrase: "As early as tonight, Joe Biden will authorise US military action in the Middle East." Also, "It is likely to be one of the most consequential decisions of his presidency", with the implication that it will be big.

I checked out the report and it doesn't really say how or where it got this information. We'll see. The good thing about predictions in the very near future is that we don't have to wait much to see if they happen or not. :-D

Welp, it is Biden and a whole bunch of war mongering republicans, it has been made very clear in the past that all this seeming division in the US disappears the minute someone launches a war.

Of note, was Tucker Carlson reacting to Lindsay Graham and John Cornyn calling for hitting Iran, by calling them "F**king Lunatics", on point!!
