Iran & Yemen: after 13 days of bombings, we’ve seen absolutely no progress…

Saudi Arabia, in coordination with the US, carried out strikes inside Iraq against armed groups with ties to Iran, after Riyadh accused the Iraqi groups of attacking its oil facilities.

Iran retains formidable control over the Strait of Hormuz, with shipping traffic reduced to almost nothing after 13 days of bombing and a settlement remains out of reach because neither side yet sees the conflict as ripe for diplomacy, according to Trita Parsi, executive vice president of the Quincy Institute for Responsible Statecraft.

“After 13 days of bombings, we’ve seen absolutely no progress in the sense that ships will actually be going through the strait, or that the Iranians are losing control over it.”

Iran War Updates

Kuwait’s Foreign Ministry has condemned the strike on oil infrastructure in the Eastern province of Saudi Arabia as “blatant aggression” and a “flagrant violation” of the country’s sovereignty.

Iran has rejected a proposal from Oman for their joint oversight of the Strait of Hormuz. Instead, Iran made a proposal of its own as both sides continue to pore over the terms of what a final agreement could look like.

Bahrain’s Foreign Ministry has condemned the strikes on oil infrastructure in Saudi Arabia as “a dangerous escalation that threatens regional security and stability”.

Saudi Arabia’s defense ministry announced on Monday that it intercepted multiple drones targeting eastern oil facilities that were launched by Iran-controlled Shiite militia forces in Iraq.

“These terrorist attempts were launched from Iraqi territory and executed by Iranian-affiliated terrorist militias,” the Saudi defense ministry said.

The Saudi statement did not specify exactly how many drones were launched or if any damage was inflicted on the ground when they were intercepted.

Iran launched a missile strike on US forces in the Middle East on Tuesday in what US Central Command described as a “attempted surprise attack.”

All of the missiles were intercepted, CENTCOM says.

This comes after President Trump called off the nearly two-week-long bombing campaign against Iran to continue negotiations on Friday.

“At 5:45 p.m. ET today, Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps forces launched multiple ballistic missiles from Iran in an attempted surprise attack on U.S. forces based in the Middle East. All Iranian missiles were successfully intercepted. U.S. forces remain vigilant and at a high state of readiness,” US Central Command announced in a statement.

Yet in the middle of an active conflict, Democrats are making “Stop This Illegal War” their rallying cry while American forces remain in danger. Continue reading Iran Launches Strikes at US Base in “Attempted Surprise Attack”

Climate Racket: The Cult Just Won’t Quit

Perhaps we should ‘decarbonise’ the warming loons.

One Year After The ICJ’s Climate Ruling, The Cult Just Won’t Quit

The climate crazy — it’s still with us.

One year ago, the International Court of Justice in The Hague declared that all nations are obligated to protect the sky from greenhouse gas emissions. It’s unfortunate, but climate zealotry stubbornly hangs on. [some emphasis, links added]

The global warming cabal, which is less concerned with climate than abolishing capitalism and advancing their cult, has been showing cracks in recent years.

A little more than a year ago, we noted that “our friend Steven Hayward,” a university professor and incisive thinker, had written “a compelling essay … about ‘The Nadir of the Climate Change Movement.’”

We also chronicled in “Climate Alarm On The Run” parts I and II about the Washington Post decision to cut its climate “reporting” team down to “five lonely reporters” and the elimination of the National Public Radio climate desk, which is “what happens when ‘journalists’ keep reporting about a dead horse.”

“Eventually,” we said, “the public realizes the horse has perished, and there’s nothing left to talk about. Or that there was no horse to begin with.” Continue reading Climate Racket: The Cult Just Won’t Quit

The Mullahs Fear Women Most

Why Iran’s Female Resistance Will Defeat Tyranny

For forty-seven years, Iran’s ruling mullahs have pursued a relentless campaign to subjugate half their own population. Ever since Ayatollah Khomeini hijacked the 1979 revolution, misogyny has served as one of the cornerstones of the Islamic Republic. Every law, every decree and every instrument of repression has sought to reduce women to obedient subjects, stripped of equality, dignity and freedom.

Yet the clerical regime has committed one fatal miscalculation. Its greatest victims have become its greatest adversaries. Today, Iranian women lead the struggle for democratic change. Their courage has shaken one of the world’s most brutal dictatorships, exposing the moral bankruptcy of a regime whose survival depends upon fear, violence and systematic discrimination. From the very beginning, the mullahs understood that controlling women meant controlling society. The compulsory hijab became far more than a dress code. It evolved into a political weapon, a daily reminder that every woman’s body, voice and future belonged to the state rather than herself.

Iran: ‘Former Supreme Leader Ordered Us to Negotiate’

Houthis and Saudi Arabia exchange fire as US-Iran war intensifies

The Kuwaiti Ministry of Foreign Affairs has expressed its “condemnation and strong denunciation” of the Houthi attacks against ships in the Red Sea.

Saudi Arabia launches strikes on Yemen’s Houthi-held city of Hodeidah in the latest escalation during the regional war between the United States and Iran.
President Donald Trump says dialogue between Washington and Tehran continues and a threatened “massive” attack may be unnecessary, although the US remains “locked and loaded”.
Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi says Tehran does not fear threats or succumb to pressure.
Iranian army spokesman Mohammad Akraminia has claimed that “almost all” US military infrastructure in Iraq’s Erbil has been destroyed during recent attacks by the IRGC, he told Iranian state television, as reported by Anadolu Agency.
The Houthis have condemned those attacks and claimed air defences “intercepted enemy aircraft”.
The IRGC naval forces stopped four vessels in the Strait of Hormuz over the past 24 hours after firing warning shots, Iranian state television has reported.

A public rift has emerged between Iran’s government and state television over how to portray the state of war and negotiations with the United States, as mediators try to nudge both countries towards diplomacy.

Former Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei publicly said there would be no negotiations with Washington – but privately had given his approval.

“We went to the dear leader, explained the situation, and asked him what to do since he had said the ‘no war, no peace’ conditions are bad for the country,” the president said. “He ordered us to go negotiate. We started the talks based on his order.”

‘Military action alone’ won’t change Iran’s perspective

Iran has “no perfect choices or even good ones”, according to Michael Mulroy, former US deputy assistant secretary of defence for the Middle East and a CIA paramilitary operations officer.

However, if Iran can sell energy, then the US is “not going to be able to isolate them to the point where they change their perspective on a new agreement that’s more conducive to the United States”, he told Al Jazeera.

“So I think we need to build an international coalition to identify how we’re doing this: sanctions, secondary sanctions, freezing assets, the IRGC’s global infrastructure – all these things need to happen”, he said, adding “they probably won’t happen fast enough for the White House’s perspective, but they do need to happen because it’s clear that just military action alone is not changing that perspective”.

“From the US perspective, it needs several things to happen for this not to be considered a strategic failure; they need the Strait of Hormuz to be open, completely open and they need a new nuclear agreement that guarantees Iran doesn’t get a nuclear weapon, and we’re pretty far from that.”

Iran War: Trump sez US is “locked and loaded”

Speaking with reporters in the Oval Office, Trump confirmed that “We are talking to them.”

“I think they’re getting more and more serious as the days go by, for maybe the obvious reason, but we are talking to them right now,” the president continued.

“I think they are being by far the most serious that we’ve seen. But that doesn’t mean we get there,” Trump added.

The 13th consecutive night of strikes rained down on Iran early Friday, with the U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) reporting that they targeted “military command centers, drone facilities, communications networks, and maritime capabilities.”

The latest round of attacks came as Trump said he was weighing a “massive attack bigger than anything before,” while Tehran rejected another ceasefire proposal, Breitbart News reported.
