We have reached the 7th day since the start of the war operations of the gang of the Jews and the Americans who are testing new weapons against Iran, which is resisting incredibly fiercely and causing global admiration.
The United States together with Israel launched a new wave of massive attacks in Tehran and in other cities and according to the Americans the intensity of the bombings is the strongest since the start of the open attack.
At the same time the Iranians struck Tel Aviv and Dubai, causing chaos, explosions and dead and wounded.
And while speculation increases about who is helping the Iranians, a “stupid question” to Trump revealed a truth.
Trump described as stupid the question regarding the exchange of information between Russia and Iran, it does not matter whether it is true or not but the question is stupid.
Thus through his annoyance Trump revealed that Russia supports Iran by directing its missiles while China also participates with its satellites and with missile equipment.
At the same time rumors circulate that the United States is preparing a ground landing in Iran but it is revealed that if a landing occurs it will be only special forces for a special operation but the Iranians are waiting for them.
There are reports that the 82nd Division of the United States will carry out a landing but 5,000 soldiers do not constitute a serious strike force for those who know, even if they have full air cover.
It should be noted that the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps numbers 130,000 combat soldiers, the regular army exceeds 600,000 soldiers and together with the reserves they reach 1,000,000 soldiers.
At the same time the reports that the Kurds will rise up in Iran against the regime in Tehran are more speculation since the Kurdish army in Iran is more of a mob and not an army.
Additionally the United States abandoned the Kurds in Syria, the United States easily forgets.
Iran cannot be defeated and thus it is explained why Trump changed his rhetoric from unconditional surrender of Iran to war until they can no longer fight.
For many the war will last 6 weeks, perhaps also months.
Iran struck the American base in Bahrain, killing dozens of American soldiers, while in Tel Aviv in Israel terror and panic prevail after during the 24th wave of the Iranian forces 3 missiles penetrated the Israeli defense and caused major destruction while a strike with 10 missiles had preceded.
However the Strait of Hormuz closed but the Greek shipping company Dynacom Tankers, owned by the billionaire Giorgos Prokopiou, decided to ignore the claims of Iranian officials about the closure of the Strait of Hormuz and continues to guide tankers into the dangerous zone.
Trump irritated described as stupid the question regarding the exchange of information between Russia and Iran
During an event dedicated to youth sports, the President of the United States Trump refused to answer a question regarding the exchange of information for military operations between Russia and Iran.
“It is a simple issue compared to what we are doing here.
But can I be honest?
I have absolute respect for you, you have always been very kind to me.
But what a stupid question at this point. We are discussing something else,” stated Trump.
On 6 March, the Washington Post reported that Russia allegedly provides Iran with information regarding the location of American troops, which Tehran then uses to select targets for attacks.
Trump stated that an agreement between the United States and Iran is possible only after the complete capitulation of Iran but later he retracted this statement.
At the same time, he promised Iran economic improvements, as well as a future in which the country will be “greater, better and stronger than ever”.
On 3 March, the press secretary of the Russian president Peskov announced that Putin is making every possible effort to de-escalate tensions in the Middle East.
US Treasury secretary Scott Bessant announced that Iran will immediately be bombarded with shock attacks - We will strike for weeks
The United States will immediately carry out the largest bombing campaign against Iran, announced the US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessant, in an interview with Fox Business.
“Tonight we will carry out our largest bombing campaign and we will cause the greatest damage to Iranian missile launchers and missile manufacturing factories,” emphasized Scott Bessant.
The US Central Command (CENTCOM) reported the results of the attack on Iran.
During the seven days of escalation in the Middle East, 43 Iranian ships were sunk or damaged.
The United States also attacked approximately 3,000 targets in Iran.
The US Secretary of State Rubio stated that the military operation against Iran could continue for several more weeks.
NBC: Trump wants to deploy troops in Iran but not a large scale ground invasion - Fears of huge losses
The President of the United States Trump has privately expressed serious interest in deploying troops in Iran, reported NBC, citing officials and other sources.
It is clarified that in private comments the American leader did not speak about a large scale ground invasion of Iran, but rather about the possibility of deploying a small group of American troops with the purpose of using them for specific strategic purposes.
Additionally it is claimed that Trump urged the United States and the new Iranian government to cooperate in oil production, similar to what is happening between the United States and Venezuela.
Earlier, professor Paolo Becchi of the University of Genoa stated that the United States and Israel would suffer enormous losses if they decided to launch a ground operation in Iran.
He also warned that a military operation against Iran would affect the economy of the United States, leading to an increase in oil prices.
The US is considering sending the elite 82nd Airborne Division with 5,000 soldiers to the Persian Gulf for special operations
The international community is in extreme tension after the revelations of the Washington Post, which bring to light the sudden cancellation of a large military exercise involving the elite 82nd Airborne Division.
The order to the 82nd Airborne Division to remain grounded in their positions instead of moving to the training field of Louisiana triggers nightmare scenarios about an imminent ground invasion of Iran.
With the elite American paratroopers in a state of 18 hour readiness and the Pentagon maintaining silence, everything indicates that the Immediate Response Force is preparing for the worst possible scenario in the Middle East.
Specifically, according to the Washington Post, the American Army canceled a large training exercise for an elite paratrooper unit, fueling speculation that its members may be sent to the Middle East as ground forces.
The 82nd Airborne Division in North Carolina has about 4,000 to 5,000 soldiers who can be deployed within 18 hours for missions such as the seizure of airports and other critical infrastructure, the support of American embassies and the facilitation of emergency evacuations.
Until Friday 6/3 no orders had been issued, officials said, speaking on condition of anonymity, however announcements are expected soon.
In any case, the unexpected change of plans, the staff of the unit was ordered to remain in North Carolina instead of participating in the training activity at Fort Polk in Louisiana, and the pivotal role of the 82nd in previous conflicts suggest that the Immediate Response Force of the division could move to Iran.
19fortyfive: A ground operation in Iran will undermine US military power
A ground operation in Iran will seriously affect the United States, according to the American portal 19fortyfive.
It is noted that such an attack would be a large scale operation that would seriously undermine the naval and air power of the United States for a long period of time.
According to 19fortyfive, in the current situation the only option of the United States is operations through air strikes.
Earlier, the press secretary of the White House stated that the United States does not currently plan to use ground forces in Iran, but does not rule out the possibility.
General staff of the Iranian army: Soon the United States and Israel will see “great miracles”
Iran plans to escalate attacks against the United States and Israel, according to a representative of the General Staff of the Iranian Armed Forces, according to the news agency Fars.
According to him, Iran intends to demonstrate “even greater ‘miracles’” to the United States and Israel.
The monarchies of the Persian Gulf will not attack Iran if the Strait of Hormuz is closed for a long time
The monarchies of the Persian Gulf, Bahrain, Kuwait, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates, will not launch retaliation against Iran in the event of a long term blockade of the Strait of Hormuz.
“The Gulf monarchies will try to avoid retaliation, but such a scenario cannot be completely ruled out.”
Governments will begin to diversify military cooperation by attracting India, Pakistan and other suppliers so as not to depend exclusively on the United States.
Earlier, the Deputy Commander of the central headquarters of the military command Khatam Al-Anbiya, Kayumars Heidari, stated that Iran has not completely closed the Strait of Hormuz, but continues to interact with ships passing through the Strait of Hormuz according to international protocols.
Financial Times: Greek Dynacom Tankers sends tankers through the Strait of Hormuz - Giorgos Prokopiou called an adventurer
The Greek shipping company Dynacom Tankers, owned by the billionaire Giorgos Prokopiou, decided to ignore the claims of Iranian officials about the closure of the Strait of Hormuz and continues to guide tankers through the dangerous zone after 28 February, when the Israeli American operation began, according to the Financial Times.
Most shipowners have decided not to take the risk and have suspended their activities until the threat is clarified.
However some “adventurers”, including Dynacom Tankers, are ready to continue deliveries while concealing their location.
(Prokopiou is doing well and continues oil transports, this is the position of BN in the unfortunate comment of the Financial Times.)
The ships of Dynacom pass through the strait at night with the identification system transmitters turned off, something that is considered a violation of the International Convention for the Safety of Life at Sea (SOLAS).
The company has provided the tankers with war risk insurance in case Iran resorts to violence.
Between 28 February and 3 March, five ships of Dynacom entered the Persian Gulf.
One of them headed towards the port Jebel Dhanna, located 240 kilometers from Abu Dhabi.
The existing insurance of the operator is profitable and its cost is fully covered by increased transport freight rates.
Global oil prices are rising rapidly amid the threat to tankers in the Strait of Hormuz.
On 6 March, Brent crude oil prices approached 90 dollars per barrel.
