Infrastructure War! The Middle East Braces For What Is Coming Next As Both Sides Go Up The Escalation Ladder

 

Infrastructure War! The Middle East Braces For What Is Coming Next As Both Sides Go Up The Escalation Ladder

Targeting military assets isn’t going to wreck the global economy, but targeting key infrastructure could. The damage that has already been done to oil and natural gas infrastructure in the Middle East is going to take years to fully repair and rebuild. But so far the damage that has been done has been somewhat limited. If both sides decide to start conducting all-out attacks on oil and gas infrastructure, the world would be facing an unprecedented energy crisis with no end in sight. Unfortunately, it appears that such a scenario could potentially be ahead of us.

Crafting A False Narrative: The Accusation Of Israeli ‘Occupation’ Is Based On A Deceitful Premise

Propaganda is like a weed; it grows slowly and can become very invasive, to the point of choking the truth into oblivion. The main goal of propaganda is to promote and spread lies about any person, event, or topic to destroy their reputation and lead gullible people to commit words or actions against them. Josef Goebbels was Nazi Germany’s Minister of Propaganda. Nobody can forget the scope and reach of his campaigns. Propaganda is devious and patient like the proverbial “frog in the pot.” Israel is that proverbial frog, and it continues to be boiled in the pot of unfounded antisemitic and anti-zionist accusations.

US strikes hit Iran for seventh consecutive night

 The US military said it carried out the seventh night of strikes on Iran since President Donald Trump declared the temporary ceasefire agreement was "over".

In a statement shared on X, US Central Command (Centcom) wrote that its forces "hit surveillance sites, military logistics infrastructure, underground weapons storage, and maritime capabilities".

Iran claimed to have responded by targeting US allies in the region, including Kuwait – whose army said its air defences had been "confronting hostile missile and drone attacks" following "Iranian aggression". 

Jordan's military also said it had intercepted 10 Iranian missiles fired into its airspace overnight. No damage was reported.

Centcom said it had ended its strikes at 21:30 ET (02:30 BST) after several hours.

"U.S. forces employed fighter aircraft, aerial drones, and warships in addition to other assets," it said in its statement.

Iran's state-run Fars agency had said two oil tankers "exploded and caught fire while passing through a mined route south of the Strait of Hormuz". Later, Centcom posted on X: "Like most IRGC claims, this is false."

Second tanker in three months hijacked off Yemen by suspected Somali pirates

 Pirates have hijacked a tanker in the Gulf of Aden off the coast of Yemen, according to a UK maritime safety organisation (UKMTO) and Somali security officials.

The UKMTO said a "vessel was boarded by unauthorised personnel" as it sailed east, adding that other ships were "advised to transit with caution". Officials from Somalia's semi-autonomous Puntland region said the attackers were Somali.

This is the second hijacking of a vessel off the coast of Yemen since May, when the MT Eureka was seized near the port of Qana. Two other ships were boarded by pirates in the Indian Ocean in April. 

There have also been several unsuccessful attacks in a region where piracy appears to be making a comeback.

Until three years ago these kinds of incidents had almost disappeared in this area once notorious for hijackings, following a concerted security operation involving several navies.

"Obama Targets Hungary and Poland" by Raymond Ibrahim

 Obama Targets Hungary and Poland

Being Anti-Migration Is Now the Greatest Threat to “Democracy”...

BY Raymond Ibrahim

A curious video clip of former U.S. President Barack Hussein Obama has been making the rounds on social media. In it, he repeats the familiar refrain about the need to “strengthen democracy” and resist the advance of authoritarianism around the world.

Much of what he says sounds entirely reasonable. Indeed, at first glance, one might conclude that Obama genuinely understands some of the West’s gravest problems. At the outset, for example, he warns that freedom of the press is under assault and that legal systems are being weaponized:

I’ve become increasingly concerned about the rising wave of authoritarianism sweeping the globe. We’re seeing politicians target civil society, undermine freedom of the press, weaponize the justice system. And no one is being spared.

One might assume that he is referring to the erosion of free expression in parts of Western Europe, where citizens have been arrested, investigated, or prosecuted for criticizing Islam or mass migration.

One might assume that Obama is condemning the increasingly selective application of law by governments and supranational institutions—including Britain’s Labour government and the European Union—which are always more willing to suppress critics of immigration, Islam, globalism, or progressive ideology than those promoting officially approved narratives.

But Obama had something else in mind. After these general remarks, he singled out two—and only two—nations as the principal battlegrounds in the struggle for democracy: not North Korea, Iran, Afghanistan, China, Eritrea, or any of the dozens of regimes that are genuinely anti-democratic, but Hungary and Poland—“two countries on the leading edge of confronting autocracy,” in Obama’s own words.

The Iran-Backed ‘Decisive Campaign’ To Destroy Israel and the West

by Khaled Abu Toameh - https://www.gatestoneinstitute.org/22705/iran-hamas-campaign-to-destroy-israel

Many Western politicians, diplomats, academics and media commentators have argued that the Iran-backed Hamas terrorist group launched its October 7, 2023 invasion of Israel because of the Israeli “blockade” on the Gaza Strip, from the necessity by Israel to prevent Hamas from smuggling in weapons with the sole purpose of destroying its Jewish neighbor.

Others claimed that economic hardship and humanitarian conditions had driven Hamas to carry out the deadliest attack against Jews since the Holocaust. Some argued that Hamas had by then evolved into a pragmatic movement interested in governing the Gaza Strip and finally willing to coexist with Israel.

Recently disclosed documents handwritten by the late Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar have irrefutably demolished these claims.

The Robot Navy Has Arrived: America’s Sea Drone Strike Is Glimpse of Future War

By PNW Staff - https://www.prophecynewswatch.com/article.cfm?recent_news_id=10250#google_vignette

While headlines focused on the target of America’s recent strike against an Iranian port, military planners around the world were likely paying closer attention to something else entirely: the weapon that delivered it.

The United States didn’t simply attack a strategic facility. It publicly demonstrated that autonomous sea drones are no longer experimental concepts or futuristic prototypes. They have become operational weapons capable of striking valuable targets with precision while keeping human operators safely out of harm’s way.

If aerial drones transformed warfare over the past two decades, sea drones may be about to do the same for the world’s oceans.

The Rise Of Physical AI Changes Everything Artificial intelligence is no longer confined to screens. Humanoid robots are entering factories, classrooms, caregiving, and other deeply personal spaces while becoming more lifelike, adaptable, and persuasive. Physical AI promises remarkable benefits, but it also raises urgent questions about trust, identity, dependency, and what makes human beings unique when machines can work beside us, teach our children, and look us in the eye.

US launches new strikes as Iran says civilian infrastructure hit

 The US launched a wave of strikes against Iran for the sixth night in a row, its military said, as the two sides battled over control of the Strait of Hormuz.

US Central Command (Centcom) said the attacks were intended to "further degrade Iranian military capabilities", before saying it had boarded a vessel as part of its blockade of Iranian ports.

State media and provincial authorities reported that the US had hit civilian infrastructure, including bridges, a train station and an airport. BBC Verify has confirmed an attack on one bridge to the west of Bandar Abbas in Hormozgan province.

Iran's Revolutionary Guards (IRGC) says it has retaliated by striking US maritime surveillance radar sites in Oman as well as targets in Kuwait and Bahrain. They also claim to have attacked a US special operations command centre in Syria.

The IRGC said the surprise attack at al-Tanf in Syria, near the border with Jordan, was in retaliation for the killing of Iranian soldiers two days ago. Neither Syria nor the US have commented on the claim.

Later on Friday, Jordan's military said it shot down three Iranian missiles with no casualties or damage reported.
