Commentary by Russian military journalist Boris Rozhin
[ColonelCassad] 1. CENTCOM confirmed that the US attacked Iran again overnight, carrying out several strikes in southern Iran. Iran confirmed strikes on a telecommunications tower near Sirik.
| The town, not the island. |
2. The day before yesterday, the US already attacked Iran, which resulted in strikes on its facilities in Bahrain. Bahrain issued a hypocritical protest, as if it were unaware that its territory was being used to attack Iran. Iran "took note" of these protests, and further strikes on Bahraini territory are quite likely.
3. In the Strait of Hormuz itself, attacks continue on ships that ignore IRGC warnings and Iranian corridors in the strait, which are permitted to transit with the consent of Iran. Over the past three days, two vessels have been damaged in the strait for ignoring regulations.
4. Iran is expected to attack US-linked targets in the next 24 hours. Kurdish terrorists in Iraqi Kurdistan were traditionally targeted overnight. The Iraqi government, as usual, is playing dumb and doing nothing, despite having little power to influence anything.
5. The US systematically and consistently violates most of the provisions of the Islamabad Agreement, making the fate of "permanent peace in the Middle East" somewhat predictable.
The situation with Lebanon is just the icing on the cake. Israel has no intention of withdrawing from the occupied territories of southern Lebanon, meaning the war there will continue.

Iran to launch new strikes on US bases
Expectedly, but nonetheless.
The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps announced strikes on American bases in the region in the coming days, as well as on vessels violating Iran's established regime for passage through the Strait of Hormuz. US blind shots at Sirik won't solve the problem of our complete control over the Strait of Hormuz. But our strikes against violators will remind other vessels what safe passage looks like.
American bases in the region are a separate matter. In the coming days, they will experience the full extent of hell.
THE SPIRIT OF ISLAMABAD.
The most likely locations for strikes are US bases in Bahrain, Kuwait, and Iraq. The UAE and Saudi Arabia are slightly less likely. I also expect a couple of tankers and bulk carriers to be set ablaze in the Strait of Hormuz and the Gulf of Oman in the coming days.
In a nighttime response, the IRGC clarified that eight American facilities in Kuwait and Bahrain associated with the US Air Force and Navy had been hit. Plus, a characteristically official statement from Iran. One of the tools of US dominance, in addition to military aggression and economic pressure, is information warfare based on deception and manipulation. The American side demonstrates a high degree of skill in distorting reality, presenting falsehood as truth, and justifying its own crimes.
The criminal clown of the US president has suffered serious blows from the Iranian people. We do not attach importance to these incoherent statements and understand that he has not abandoned his intention to commit crimes against the Iranian people. (c) Head of the Iranian Judiciary
The enemy has focused significant efforts on attempts to influence our cultural infrastructure. We do not accept a situation in which the population faces economic hardship. As we can see, Iran has no illusions about the US. P.S. As the Iranians joke, Lebanese President Aoun condemned Iran's strikes on Kuwait and Bahrain, but never mustered the courage to condemn Israel's strikes on his own country. A pathetic puppet. Some say he'll end up in trouble.
PS2. The photo shows a house in Bahrain hit by a Patriot missile attempting to shoot down an Iranian missile targeting a US base. I recognize the signature of the "air defense titans."
