The climate in the Persian Gulf remains extremely tense and everything indicates that something is in the works... a new attack, a small operation «Epic Fury» (Epic Fury was the name of the massive US operation against Iran which nevertheless failed militarily)...
Trump, the American president, states that a new small operation «Epic Fury» is coming... and at the same time certain events... indicate that something is brewing
1) A suspicious incident involving an F-35 occurred near Iran
2) 4 KC-46 refueling aircraft appeared in Israel
3) High mobility also prevails in Jordan
4) Warplanes flew over Bandar Abbas in Iran.
5) Russian scientists have probably departed from Iran
6) Iran used an anti-ship cruise missile, provoking the reaction of American forces...
Iran maintains that if the US attacks, they will strike all military and civilian airports of the Persian Gulf states.
At the same time, reports indicate that Iran will destroy all telecommunications cables running under Hormuz, a development of global catastrophe... in fact, some say that if this happens, Bitcoin will crash from 81,000 dollars to 20,000 dollars.
Nevertheless, the Iranians state they are ready for shock retaliation; they appear to have prepared very well for a new American attack.
However, the tension has driven Brent crude surging to 117 dollars per barrel, and everyone is becoming increasingly pessimistic.
Meanwhile, given that Israel has elections on October 27 and Netanyahu is fighting for survival regarding parliamentary seats... he is provoking Iran into a pre-emptive strike to react amid elections or postpone the elections...
Iran: We are ready, Hormuz will not open until the US accepts all 7 terms of Iran
Iran will not reopen the Strait of Hormuz nor resume negotiations with the US until 7 conditions submitted through intermediaries are met, the Secretary of the Supreme National Security Council of Iran stated on October 22.
«We will not return to the diplomacy of the past, yet we do not abandon it entirely».
He added that Iran no longer trusts agreements based solely on political assurances and argued that continuous pressure from the United States would strengthen Iran, although this was not the preferred outcome.
Iran also warned that if the war continues, Iran will use new capabilities to target American assets across the region, including cables and artificial intelligence facilities.
However, he acknowledged that a prolonged blockade would hurt the Islamic Republic, stating that «anyone claiming otherwise was unrealistic».
Suspicious incident with F-35 in Iran, missile launcher hit, Explosions in Hormuz, KC-46 activity in Israel
An unexpected incident occurred involving an American F-35 near Iran.
Meanwhile, there are reports of an explosion in the Strait of Hormuz.
Fighter jets are flying over Bandar Abbas in Iran, while rumors intensify that Russian scientists have departed from Iran.
According to reports, after the launch of an anti-ship cruise missile, American forces conducted a strike against an anti-ship cruise missile launcher in the area near Bandar Abbas.
Field reports and observations from residents in the southern part of Iran indicate the movement and sequential flights of several fighter jets of the Iranian Army in the skies above Bandar Abbas.
Arab sources report explosions in the Strait of Hormuz.
The explosions are linked to the launch of anti-ship cruise missiles.
Concurrently, information points to the deployment of 4 American KC-46 refueling aircraft and roughly 12 F-35C fighter jets at Ovda air base in southern Israel.
A suspicious departure of American fighter jets from Jordan is also recorded.
Trump: Iran is finished, A «small epic fury» is on the way, we will strike
The rhetorical and communicative exaggerations of the US President against Iran show no signs of receding.
Addressing his supporters, he stated: «You have no idea how well things are going for us regarding Iran.
Iran is finished.
Iran is finished».
Trump also said that a «small epic fury» is headed toward Iran.
Trump also claimed: «Do not worry about Cuba.
On the way back from Iran, we will deal with Cuba as well».
Continuing his statements on Iran, Trump added: «Maybe we will carry out another «small epic fury» operation, or maybe they will agree to some deal».
«If they are smart, they will just say:»
«Let us get down to business and start negotiations.»
«But I doubt they will do it, maybe they are not smart enough».
Reuters: Iran plans the destruction of undersea communication cables in the Persian Gulf
Two senior Iranian officials told Reuters that Iran has prepared plans to attack undersea internet cables in the Persian Gulf, in case the United States or Israel launch a new attack.
Iran also intends to prevent the repair of these cables, thereby prolonging disruptions to internet services, the banking sector, and cloud computing services.
According to Fox News, if Iran strikes undersea internet cables, the price of Bitcoin could drop to 20,000 dollars.
What would happen if Iran destroyed the undersea internet cables in the Persian Gulf?
In total, the cables in the Persian Gulf carry approximately 80% of global internet traffic.
Consequently, their disruption could bring severe negative impacts to global internet networks, while the resulting damage would not be limited solely to the networks of Arab countries.
Haaretz: Netanyahu will frantically provoke Iran to launch a pre-emptive strike before the 27/10 elections
Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu has very few days left to attempt to postpone the elections on October 27, 2026, which he knows he will not win, reports Haaretz.
He would be very eager to start yet another war with Iran.
In recent days, all pieces of the puzzle came together and revealed the truth.
The frantic and relentless series of provocations by Netanyahu against Iran, sometimes repeated every hour, are designed to provoke Iran into a pre-emptive strike against Israel.
Such an attack would trigger war and allow Netanyahu to achieve his ultimate objective: to postpone his impending political demise.
This assessment, or suspicion, is also shared by certain leaders in the so-called «change camp» opposing Netanyahu, and according to Axios, American officials also share this view.
According to these sources, Israeli fighter jets flying over Syria and Iraq this week «looked as though Israel was hoping that the Iranians would shoot down these planes to justify retaliation against Tehran».
Yes, in Israel someone is risking the lives of pilots for political purposes.
Although the evidence is circumstantial, it is too revealing to ignore.
Netanyahu has threatened Iran in numerous interviews and speeches in recent weeks, warning it not to attack Israel, even though there are no indications that the Iranians are preparing to do so.
At the same time, foreign media outlets have faced a deluge of security intelligence leaks concerning impending military operations, training flights of the Israeli Air Force over Iraqi airspace, an attack allegedly planned for October 10 but canceled by the US president, and a secret meeting at Ovda air base in southern Israel between Netanyahu, the Israeli Defense Minister, and the US Secretary of Defense.
The term «miscalculation»
The term «miscalculation» has been repeated many times in recent weeks, but what was not understood was that Netanyahu, through his public statements and leaks to the media, is essentially baiting the Iranians into making such a miscalculation.
The Israeli prime minister hoped that the leaders of the Islamic Republic of Iran and the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, the IRGC, would act according to his plan.
But so far, that has not happened.
Iran will not fall into the trap of Israel
«The Iranians will not fall into this trap»
«But Netanyahu is more dangerous now than ever.
He is like a wounded animal fighting for survival and will do everything to survive, even if that means violating all security parameters to achieve his personal goals».
Until recently, leaders of the opposition to Netanyahu were not clear about his true intentions.
They believed that his relentless, aggressive rhetoric was aimed at diverting attention from his personal troubles: on the one hand, unlawful military draft evasion, and on the other hand, contentious revelations concerning the aide of Netanyahu.
This may have been one of the secondary objectives of Netanyahu, but his main goal was, and probably still is, to provoke the Iranians, who are already in a state of high alert and tension.
The goal is no longer merely «creating the conditions for the collapse» of the regime, but its overthrow.
Netanyahu had avoided explicitly declaring such an objective in previous rounds of the conflict.
Now, however, it has become a public «command» to the armed forces. Not a military secret, as one would expect, but a public, arrogant, provocative, and dangerous proclamation.
Israel will not attack on the eve of elections, If war breaks out, the shock to the planet will be extreme
The US can neither change the government, nor dismember Iran, nor bring it into a pro-Western orbit.
The outcome will be material destruction for Iran that could set the country back 40 years.
If war breaks out, a scorched earth will ultimately emerge in the region.
A war would not lead to regime change, to the collapse of the national unity of Iran, or to the fulfillment of the strategic goals of America.
A new war will signal a product of «ignorance of facts on the ground and decision-making based on emotional criteria», because if it occurred, the damage to energy, especially in Europe and the world, would be immense for years.
