🇺🇸⚠️ The US State Department has issued a Worldwide Caution alert, advising Americans everywhere to exercise increased caution.
Key line: "Groups supportive of Iran may target US interests overseas or locations associated with the United States and/or Americans throughout the world."
The government that put Americans in danger is now warning Americans about the danger it created. Go team go!
CSIS: Operation Epic Fury cost $11.3 billion in its first 6 days. By Day 12, the estimated total reached $16.5 billion. The war is now burning through approximately $500 million per day.
The biggest single cost: munitions. 319 Tomahawk missiles, 786 JASSMs, 414 HARM missiles, 158 THAAD interceptors and 83 SM-3s fired in the first six days alone. THAAD deliveries are zero in FY2026 and production doesn't resume until April 2027.
Equipment losses confirmed so far: 3 F-15s, 1 KC-135, 11 Reaper drones, 1 THAAD radar — $1.7 billion in hardware.
The Pentagon has already asked Congress for over $200 billion to finance the war. These estimates don't include Israel resupply, higher fuel costs across the DoD, or future veterans' benefits.
The $11.3 billion figure the DoD shared with Congress excludes the military buildup before the war even started.

🇮🇷❌🇺🇸In the name of God, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful
Whoever transgresses against you, transgress against him in the same manner as he transgressed against you
The lying and terrorist President of the United States, killer of children, claims that the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps intends to target water desalination plants in the region and disturb the people of the regional countries. Firstly, this is an aggressive army against the American people who started the war by killing children and sacrificing 180 children in elementary schools, and so far have targeted five water infrastructure facilities, including a water desalination plant on Qeshm Island, and the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps has not done any of these actions yet. Secondly, this is a terrorist President of the United States, killer of children, who threatened to attack Iran's power plants, and naturally, attacks on electricity will disrupt many humanitarian services such as hospitals, emergency centers, water networks, and desalination plants, which is an inhumane act.
What we have done is declare our decision that if there is an attack on power plants, Iran will respond with retaliatory action targeting the power plants of the occupying regime and power plants in regional countries that supply US bases with electricity, as well as economic, industrial, and energy infrastructure that Americans have shares in. Do not doubt that we will do this. You have targeted our hospitals and we did not do it, you have targeted our emergency centers and we did not do it, you have targeted our schools and we did not do it, but if you strike electricity, we will strike electricity. We are determined to respond to every threat at the same level that creates deterrence balance, and we will do it. America does not know our capabilities and will see them on the battlefield.
And victory is only from God Almighty
🇺🇸⚔️🇮🇷 U.S. troops are increasingly uneasy about Donald Trump’s Iran strategy as the conflict enters its fourth week. - HuffPost
Interviews with active-duty personnel and reservists point to rising stress, low morale, and doubts about the mission. Some troops are reportedly considering leaving the military, while requests for conscientious objector status have surged.
A military official treating evacuated personnel said defenses are inadequate and Iranian missile and drone strikes are already taking a toll. At least 13 U.S. troops have been killed and over 200 wounded. The official warned a ground invasion would be “an absolute disaster,” adding there is no clear plan.
Frustration is turning political. Some troops say openly they do not want to “die for Israel” or be used as leverage in a wider U.S.-Israeli campaign. Others point to the lack of a clear objective and poor planning.
Support groups report a spike in outreach from service members looking for ways to refuse deployment.
The February strike on a school in Minab killed more than 170 civilians, many of them children — a breaking point for some troops. Combined with growing skepticism toward U.S. policy in the Middle East, especially among younger troops, this is fueling resistance.
While there is no mass exodus, morale issues and internal dissent could undermine the campaign and signal deeper shifts inside the U.S. military.

🇮🇳: 🇮🇷 | There are reports of a massive wave of donations from Iran supporters in India, led by Kashmir, which has been at the forefront of contributions totaling millions of dollars. Across other states, cities, and villages, people are pouring whatever they can to support Iran, saying it is only a portion of their burning hearts, yet they act upon the guidance of Imam Khamenei. A report from a correspondent confirms that in the village of Hardoi, Uttar Pradesh, families in Gauri Khalsa village have donated bronze dowries, heirlooms, and jewelry inherited from their mothers for Iran’s cause. There are reports of hundreds of thousands of rupees being transferred to the Iranian embassy from across the country, with contributions coming from people of all religions, alongside Shia movements. Record donations include selling jewelry, land plots, bikes, mobile phones, and other valuable items.
IOF announces a new wave of “extensive strikes” targeting Iranian state infrastructure in Tehran.

My personal opinion:
Even Western warmongers in Europe, through their imperial conquests from before to after the industrial revolution, have learnt that every non-combatant you kill creates 10 more combatants because nothing steels resolve against invaders like murdered innocents.
Which is why England, bastards as they were and are, are famous for their speaking three-sides out of their mouths and pitting brother against brother, not genociding every land they touch.
Even Americans, as heedless to lessons of history as they have been, were forced to learn that lesson in the Gulf wars since the 1990s, and their own generals have written about that.
It is only Israel, and their puppet strings on Americans, who learnt of that fact, and decided that means they must turn every war into genocide instead. He who lives by the sword dies by the sword, and they will only draw the fate they think they should enact on every other people back onto themselves.
Know and be aware: If Iran’s power plants are targeted, the response will not only be at the same level but far beyond. As observed today, all information and precise coordinates of key water and electricity infrastructure in the occupied territories are fully stored in Iran’s target bank. The slightest aggression against Iran’s vital facilities will mean the beginning of a devastating reaction that will turn all these vital infrastructures to ashes. Iran is ready to respond with unimaginable power to any threat or hostile action and impose an irreparable cost on the enemy. Make no mistake; the era of appeasement is over, and any action against Iran will mark the beginning of the collapse of the enemy’s vital infrastructures.

🏁🇮🇶 According to our source from NAYA, there is a push for negotiations, through intermediaries, between the Iraqi Resistance and NATO regarding troop presence in Baghdad. The request reportedly comes from NATO.
We reported a few days ago that NATO is “adjusting” its mission in Iraq.
The current situation appears to be as follows: there are no US troops at Victoria Base, while around 60 US troops remain at the Embassy.
US and German troops previously stationed in Baghdad have relocated to Erbil.
The Iraqi Resistance is demanding that the remaining NATO troops withdraw from Victoria Base and Union III base in the Green Zone.
There are also Spanish and Danish troops in southern Iraq operating radar systems, along with Danish and British troops elsewhere, who are being asked to withdraw. NATO is reportedly requesting a one-day ceasefire on strikes targeting Victoria Base to facilitate some of these withdrawals.
Spanish forces are reportedly already withdrawing 99 soldiers, and Romanian troops are also pulling out. We posted a video the other day showing Polish soldiers returning home. There are even around 10 Estonian soldiers currently in Iraq.
Decolonization in real time.
🇱🇧⚔️🇮🇱Israeli media: With the approval of censorship:
A short while ago, an operational incident occurred as a result of an explosion in an area where Israeli army forces are operating in southern Lebanon. A number of soldiers were injured to varying degrees, and they were evacuated to receive medical treatment in the hospital. The incident is under investigation.

📢 Official Statement by Handala Group in Response to Threats from the US and Its Allies
To the awakened nations and all free people of the world,
The seizure of our domains, propaganda bombardment, threats of assassination, and even the looming shadow of aerial bombardment are nothing more than the latest desperate attempts by the United States and its allies to silence the voice of Handala. The US Department of Justice and its security agencies, through issuing threatening statements and carrying out acts of censorship and intimidation, believe they can extinguish the flame of truth. But they are oblivious to the fact that Handala is not merely a website or a name; Handala is a deep-rooted idea and a global outcry echoing in the hearts of all the free.
Those who fear the exposure of their crimes and scandals resort to every possible weapon, from cyber and legal threats to physical elimination and bombing. But history has shown that neither bullets, nor bombs, nor assassinations have ever been able to stand against the will of nations and the voice of truth.
We declare: Handala has emerged from the fire of terror and bombardment, each time stronger and more steadfast. No threat, whether in cyberspace or on the real battlefield, can shake our resolve; on the contrary, every threat makes us more alert, more united, and more determined.
We warn the enemies of truth: no wall, no bomb, and no act of terror can stop the free flow of information and the exposure of the crimes of Zionism and its supporters. The voice of Handala will never be silenced, for the voice of freedom and justice cannot be extinguished by threats, censorship, or bombardment.
We believe in our path; We are the voice of the voiceless; We are Handala; And we will stand firm until victory.

🇺🇸🇮🇱🇮🇷The most modern American nuclear aircraft carrier, the USS Gerald R. Ford, has docked at the Souda base (Crete Island) for damage assessment.
After nearly 300 days at sea, an sewage 'apocalypse'" and a fire in the laundry, the ship is set for repairs lasting 12 to 14 months, and its deck-based squadron is now only capable of defending the Eastern Mediterranean region against Iranian missiles and drones.

🇪🇸It is reported that Spanish soldiers participating in the NATO mission in Iraq have left the country and are returning to it via Turkey. This is allegedly due to the fact that Spain is scaling back its already not very large presence in the Middle East.

🇮🇷🇺🇸| Iran has published satellite images of its missile/drone impacts on US assets in the region, specifically in UAE.
• Fuel storage pumping station at the port of Fujairah seems to be damaged.
• Iran destroyed an AN/FPS-117 early-warning radar site in northeastern Saudi Arabia, near Rafha / Al-Qaysumah.
• Iran also struck the backup data center of the US army in Rahbah & Abu Dhabi, UAE.
• Iran also struck the US military fuel supply lines in the Asaluyeh refinery, UAE.
• Satellite images also show hits on fuel storage tanks & pumping stations at the Asaluyeh refinery, in the UAE

🇮🇱🇺🇸 So many things to unpack in this one post.
First… immediately blame US systems, but conveniently skip that early on, Iran took out a lot of Epstein Coalition eyes in the radar strikes—and, of course, ignore the fact that Israel is clearly rationing air defense missiles.
Makes you wonder why the 12-day war… lasted exactly 12 days.
Only $1 million for This bad ass? These jokers are delusional if they think they can get a chadly dude like Seyed Mohammad Marandi for silly green paper.

Oh shit it’s coming from inside the laptop.
Iran's Khatim al-Anbiya headquarters spokesman announces that if the United States bombs Iranian energy infrastructure, Iran will respond by:
➡️ Completely closing the Strait of Hormuz to all traffic; a change to the current policy of only restricting it to countries Iran is at war with
➡️ Targeting the energy infrastructure of Israel and Arab countries that host American bases
➡️ Targeting information technology centers of Israel
➡️ Targeting property belonging to American companies in the Middle East
from HB news mega (post body, might copy+paste for week 13's mega):
spoiler
short summary here, longish summary in spoiler tags below: Western standoff munition stockpiles now substantially depleted, therefore Western aircraft activity directly over Iran increasing (as is footage of attempted and actual hits against them) as the US attempts to transition more to using bombs dropped directly onto targets, Iran is increasingly in the driver's seat and controlling the conflict, world economy is fucked and yet could still get much worse very soon, if you require a car to live (especially if it's not electric) and cannot work from home then you have my sincere condolences
spoiler longish summary here While I've seen several estimates on the current stockpiles of US and Zionist missiles and interceptors - somewhere in the realm of a third depleted, perhaps even up to half - it seems like we're reaching the point at which the US does not want to commit even more standoff munitions and is trying their luck against the Iranian air defense network directly.
We have already seen footage of Iran attempting to shoot down, and sometimes actually striking Western fifth generation planes like the F-35, and more footage along those lines is appearing for other plane models (with one side claiming that they evaded interception and the other claiming they hit it, etc etc, propaganda is everywhere, you know the drill). How much the US is willing to test their planes against Iranian air defense is a matter of debate. Strictly speaking, a few fighter jets and bombers shot down would be no catastrophic loss in the grand scheme of things, as the US has hundreds. However, the narrative of such a thing would be quite bad for the US - "You're telling me an OBLITERATED Iranian military can shoot down some of our most advanced equipment?? What are we gonna do against China?!" - and given Trump's deranged jingoistic rhetoric aimed to buoy markets, it's clear that he cares very deeply about narratives. Additionally, with Chinese exports of several critical metals to the US banned, the prospect of replacing these aircraft (and indeed the standoff munitions and the interceptors and the ground radars etc) is looking questionable.
All the while, Iran continues its strikes across the Middle East. Missile and drone strikes are reportedly on the uptick again, demonstrating that Iranian military capabilities have by no means been "destroyed" as Western propaganda claim, though it's impossible to sure there was ever a significant downtick due to Western censorship and outright fabrications. People around the world are gradually realizing the magnitude of the economic disaster that is occurring and may yet occur. Refineries and factories which deal with oil and gas directly are starting to slow down or stop production, and those who make products downstream of those are starting to follow them like dominoes. Outrage at gas station prices is rising, and many countries are considering limiting civilian driving and implementing work-from-home policies akin to the coronavirus pandemic. And now, threats are being made by Trump against both Kharg Island (where most Iranian oil is shipped from) and the Iranian electrical grid - which is highly decentralized and would require a prolonged bombing campaign to completely take out -and the promised Iranian reprisal would be apocalyptic to the Middle East. It would make oil prices rise to previously unfathomable heights as oil infrastructure turned off and remained off for months, perhaps years, and set in motion one of the world's greatest humanitarian catastrophes as the desalination necessary for tens of millions of people is shut down. It would also not be a symmetrical problem, as Iran does not rely on desalination for its water supply.

🇹🇷🇶🇦| 1 Turkish military officer & 2 Turkish technicians died in the Qatari helicopter crash.
The American political class believes everyone is secretly as cowardly as they are.
That deep down, every people will eventually choose comfort over honor, safety over sovereignty, appetite over principle.
Iran is the recurring proof that this assumption is false.
That is why they cannot leave it alone.
It is not just a geopolitical rival.
It is a metaphysical insult to their anthropology.
It proves that human beings can still be organized by faith, memory, sacrifice, and destiny.
Trump cannot understand any of this because he cannot even understand silence unless it is flattering him.

🇮🇷 Spokesperson for Iran’s Khatam al‑Anbiya Central Headquarters warns:
Following previous warnings, any attack on Iran’s fuel or energy infrastructure will trigger strikes on all U.S. and Israeli energy, IT, and desalination facilities in the region.
He's old enough at this point, it could genuinely be his mind going, causing so much flip flopping. OTOH, him having spent his life used to calling shots and people listening, it may be breaking his brain a bit that he is currently holding one of the most powerful positions in history and Iran is not only not doing what he demands, they're actively destroying components of what makes that position powerful in the first place with no end in sight. He is getting humiliated on a large scale and for someone like him whose life revolves around ego, it's gotta hurt; that is, if he's still coherent enough mentally to comprehend it properly.
Though this is also assuming any sort of accuracy to the information he's getting. He could be insulated from some of the reports and reacting to whatever he hears from advisors or Fox News without any kind of comprehensive picture given to him on what's going on.
Whatever the cause, the character of it looks very tantrum-like.

The Warmongers Will Never Admit They Were Wrong And Will Never Learn From Their Mistakes
Trump’s former national security advisor John Bolton has a tweet that’s got me absolutely fuming right now.
“In 2018–2019, I made the case for regime change in Iran as often as I could. Voices in Trump’s orbit often cited Iran’s capacity to close the Strait of Hormuz as a reason against regime change. Trump has been fully aware this is a possibility, and yet did not prepare,” Bolton posted.
Can you believe this shit? Dude’s like “Hey, Trump should have known this war would be hard because people tried to warn him not to listen to me!”
Motherfucker THIS WAS YOUR WAR. You were THE “bomb Iran” guy! You made it your entire personality for DECADES. Over the years I’ve used your name God knows how many times whenever I needed an example of a Beltway swamp monster who’s got a throbbing hard-on for war with Iran. Now you’ve finally got it and it’s going exactly as badly as everyone said it would, and you’re like “Yeah well he should’ve known better, people tried to warn him about the Strait of Hormuz”? Fuck you.
These professional warmongers never, ever learn from their errors. Many years after the Iraq invasion turned out to be a disaster, John Bolton was still out there telling the media he believed it was a “resounding success,” conceding only “mistakes that were made subsequently” to the ousting of Saddam Hussein.
They never admit they were wrong. They never admit that their war was a bad idea. They only ever acknowledge that it didn’t happen in exactly the way they imagined it happening in their minds. They live in this fantasy world where all their war agendas would unfold beautifully so long as they could personally control every molecule of matter involved in how it happens, completely ignoring that this is impossible and any war is always going to have an unfathomable number of moving parts you can’t control.
In their eyes the wars are never wrong, they’re only ever executed incorrectly. US military interventionism can never fail, it can only be failed.
Bolton doesn’t even seem to have any idea what Trump could have done differently to stop Iran from closing the Strait of Hormuz. I listened to an NPR interview the other day where he slammed Trump for not having “done the planning in advance” to prevent the Iranian blockade, but he never at any time outlined what Trump could have done to accomplish this. He just said there was “a huge hole in the planning” and that “they apparently didn’t take as seriously as they should have the potential to mine the Strait of Hormuz,” without ever saying what they could have done.
He doesn’t know. He himself, Mister Iran War, had no plan for how to carry out this war without disastrous consequences for the US and its allies. He’s spent his entire blood-soaked career pushing for a war he never had any idea how to actually carry out.
These are the kinds of minds they have spearheading the US empire’s wars.
All the worst people are getting exactly what they want, and it turns out they don’t even want it, like Elon Musk tweeting “Whoever said ‘money can’t buy happiness’ really knew what they were talking about” last month. They’re getting everything they asked for and it’s making everyone miserable, and it’s not even making THEM happy.
The imperial status quo elevates the worst among us. The least wise. The least insightful. The least compassionate. The least deserving. The least qualified.
We need drastic revolutionary change, and we need it now.
Another great piece by Caitlin Johnston.
