The Hour of Resistance: From Dead Order to Final Independence

I.

If there is one thing that is valuable in the language of Donald Trump, it is its nakedness. Trump does not hide behind euphemisms or beat diplomatically around the bush. The threat of sending an aircraft carrier to take Cuba once the job is done in Iran is not campaign-trail hyperbole or another element of his chaotic negotiating style or a joke of imperial after-dinner conversation. It is the literal confession of a policy that was never anything other than preparation for the final assault.

For decades, broad sectors took part in an anachronistic debate between reform or no reform, between tactical concessions and gestures of good faith, between the hope for reasonable negotiations and calculations of how much we would need to concede to calm the beast’s rhetoric. At the stroke of a pen, Trump has destroyed any faith in all these imaginary scenarios and — we have to give it to him — helps us clear the smoke of that ridiculous charade. Everyone who in the last months naively believed that some kind of reasonable negotiation was possible has been hung out to dry. Trump was never interested in negotiating; only in stalling for time. His brutal language has saved us the trouble of hermeneutics. There’s no need now to read between the lines: now we can read the deck of a warship.

The less time we waste trying to decipher Trump’s frenzied back-and-forth, trying to draw a line between his rhetoric and our own capacity for dialogue, or obsessively debating over what concessions we can make to change the enemy’s policy towards Cuba, the less time we gift them. They’ve already made up their minds. Today, the only possible and realistic scenario is to prepare, assuming complete responsibility and wasting no time, for total asymmetric war.

Cuba has made every possible effort to avoid war. But the silence of the guns cannot mean sinking into the mire of shame.

II.

The nakedness of the empire’s language reveals something even deeper and more definitive. The issue is not that today’s president scorns the international order. The fact is that the order which supposedly guaranteed basic security conditions for the world’s countries and peoples is dead. There are some, even within our own ranks, who insist on taking the vital signs for a corpse that has long been rotting.

Cuba is a BRICS member, a signatory to the great majority of the agreements that place it within the global framework of the United Nations. For decades, it has extended selfless humanitarian aid to the Global South that makes it a moral creditor to any order that could call itself civilized. And yet the announcement of an aircraft carrier sent to take Havana provokes no urgent meetings of the Security Council, no preventative sanctions, not even the credible threat of multilateral diplomatic isolation. It provokes silence. It provokes miserable calculations by countries who believe themselves safe. It provokes, in the best-case scenario, middle-of-the-road statements that no one fears and no one will obey.

We should go further still. Trump’s actions do not decree the death of the system: they lay bare the shamelessness of how it actually works. What is dead is not the system but the precarious harmony between its strongest links. Along with the same old disposable lives, the classic hegemon has sacrificed the supporting acts of the system and the scaffolding known as the “international order,” which now stand in the way of its global offensive against competitors who are no longer external to capitalism but emerge from its own cultural, rational and ideological framework. As long as the opposing side was perceived as “antisystemic” — even if that opposition was more imagined than real, as eventually happened with the USSR — the system needed checks, balances, a backdrop for its hegemony. Today, when the challenge comes in openly inter-capitalist terms from countries that have undermined the Bretton Woods agreement through which Washington emerged unchallenged across the world, that order has become an obstacle. The same thing has happened to the international order has happened to classical liberalism: when the elasticity of the state was no longer able to absorb the energy of popular struggles and demands, capital birthed the Washington Consensus and the neoliberal recomposition of Latin America’s dictatorships. The monster sacrifices the now-inadequate framework of its own creation.

So let’s not waste time trying for a reaction from a dead order. From now on, let all our efforts go towards building a new order at the point of a gun— an order where the guarantee of security will be not a piece of paper in Geneva but the assurance that we will defend every inch of land, and that this defense will be the founding act of an insurgent international legal order, born out of the guns of dignity and not the empire’s affidavit’s or the delusional weekly jokes of a possessed man. Yet it is not insanity that defines Trump, but a capitalist order that endowed itself with the staggering, delusional architecture it needed to maintain itself at any price.

III.

No one should expect any state to ride to our rescue. Bitter reality has confirmed that Russia’s energy aid was a temporary reprieve, negotiated in advance with the empire itself. There is no political bloc today with the real will and structural capacity to disobey Washington and modify the architecture of exception imposed on Cuba. This is the naked fact of our tactical isolation, and accepting it is not defeatism: it is the first act of our real strategy.

But there is one fact that the US, Trump, and their select group of fascists in power are attempting to ignore, with the arrogance of those who illiterate in anything that isn’t kilotons or nuclear warheads: the enormous lesson given by Iran and the Axis of Resistance, by the forces mobilized in Iraq, by the Yemenis who humiliated Saudi logistics, by Hezbollah, resisting the persistent attacks of Israeli troops in southern Lebanon, even amidst (nobody laugh at the twisting of events) a “ceasefire” that, as always, was honored only by the victims. These peoples have no aircraft carriers, no Security Council to protect them, no geopolitical bloc to save them. They have a doctrine: a genuine and authentic pedagogy of resistance that the empire has never learned to decipher.

Imperialism can capitalize on “surgical strikes,” assassinate generals, destroy infrastructure, administer the spectacle of its air power. But there is one variable that escapes all its algorithms: resistance by attrition. Prolonged asymmetric war bleeds budgets, shatters domestic consensus, devours parliamentary majorities and transforms every tactical victory into a political defeat.

Resistance is no doubt costlier in lives. It is also infinitely more effective in political terms than surrendering in order to cling to a kind of life that, without sovereignty, can no longer be called life, or lacks the basic guarantees to call itself life. Choosing resistance is not an act of suicidal heroism: it is the rational calculation of those who understand that life under occupation is a prolonged death and that the only currency the empire respects is the unacceptable costs that a people are prepared to assume and inflict upon it. We didn’t get this far in our story by virtue of being poets: time and again, the hard way and the harder way, they’ve forced us to write in blood in order to be able to dream, to have a country, a flag, a people, “land, water, air… fire.”*

IV.

The executive order recently signed by Trump is the material expression of the new state of things. This is not another turn of the screw for the blockade: it is the written formalization of a total state of exception on Cuba. Any gesture to the island, even of solidarity or humanitarian aid, is strictly forbidden under its terms.

They are trying to precipitate internal collapse through strangulation, without uncomfortable witnesses, without aid workers, without food, without medicine. It is war by other means, codified in the language of a decree. 

To justify this, the empire maintains the never-ending game of a double narrative that must be urgently and precisely dismantled. On one hand, “Cuba is on the edge of collapse,” is “next,” is a “failed state” that needs only one last push. On the other, Cuba is such “an unusual and extraordinary threat to the national security of the United States” that an aircraft carrier is sent our way.

What is going on? If we’re a threat capable of inflicting such titanic damage, how is it that we’re on the verge of collapse? If we’re on the verge of collapse, why do they need a state of total exception and deployment of their naval power?

The answer is simple: neither statement is true. They are interchangeable pieces in a propaganda machine designed to justify the unjustifiable. As for us… what are we to do? Become specialists in devious, surreptitious rhetoric?

Everything has come to the surface. Those who prefer not to see shouldn’t expect a cure for their long sightedness in the shape of an aircraft carrier a hundred yards from Cuba’s coasts.

But let us seriously consider, for a moment, the logic of the enemy. If Cuba, this past May Day, was able to compel 500,000 to march to the US embassy in Havana in the midst of this crisis, if it was able to force more than 6 million Cubans to sign a declaration against the policies of the empire, then we’re dealing with a regime whose powers of coercion are superhuman, able to mobilize human will on a scale that not even the empire itself can match. If that power is real, they should think twice before attacking. How could they hope to deal with a country with that kind of control over its population?

But if, on the other hand, these marches and these signatures were not the product of coercion; if they sprang from a genuine desire to defend Cuba against all threats; if they were the free expression of a nation that does not need to be forced to defend what it holds dear, then the enemy should think it over even more. Because what stands before them is neither a failed state nor a population that will welcome them with flowers, but a united people ready to resist at any cost and by any means.

In either case, the conclusion is the same: invading Cuba would be the costliest and most drawn-out mistake in the history of the US empire.

In the words of our late Francisco Marínez Heredia, “Let the Americans try it— whether they have a maniac for a president or not. We don’t care either way. Whether he’s a nice guy or a maniac; it’s all the same to us.”

V.

We didn’t get to this point by some spontaneous process. The attack on the Twin Towers served as the pretext for establishing a permanent state of exception within the United States through the Patriot Act, shattering the pact that capitalism supposedly upholds—the promise not to intrude on people’s private lives. That state of exception was then extended to the rest of the world through the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq: any legal framework ceased to matter. The internal needs of a world order defined and circumscribed by Washington became all that mattered.

Trump is no anomaly, no accident. He is the product of the return of the unfinished neoconservative project.

But let nobody be fooled: we would never have gotten to this point without Gaza. It was there, in live-streamed genocide, that the new global state of exception was inaugurated. The international community accepted the perpetration of a genocide against expendable lives— lives that could be ended without legal or political consequences.

We failed to understand as it was happening that international law was not being violated in Gaza. A new order was being established; one in which barbarism is public, consensual, and televised. And it is that order under which an aircraft carrier is now menacing Cuba.

Iran today is what the Soviet Army was in its own time: the only power with the real will to not back down and to shift the current correlation of forces against imperialism. But the burning question in Our America is another: where is Latin America’s Axis of Resistance? Urgent action is needed to establish it, and state logic will be of little use here. That logic produces only calls to dialogue, to respect an international order that now lies dead, and appeals to a multilateralism that reeked of death even before it was born.

Without realizing it, Trump has given us the historic opportunity to unleash the definitive struggle for the independence of our peoples and close the tragic chapter of our history that is the US empire. What he brandishes as a death threat, we take as the long-awaited opportunity to complete our unfinished independence.

We need no one’s permission to defend ourselves. We make no appeal to an order that no longer exists. We ask for no protection from institutions that sanctioned genocide. We say to the empire, with the serenity of those who have things at stake far more sacred than investment permits, that every aircraft carrier deployed, every base used, every drone launched, every supply ship, will be met with a response in times, places, and ways of our own choosing.

To the people of the United States, we say: there is still time to prevent yourselves from being dragged into a confrontation hatched in comfortable DC sitting rooms by the same people who turn their backs on the serious social ills that afflict you as a people. You will know the minute you enter this confrontation, but you will not be able to say when you will emerge from it, nor at what cost. To the peoples of Latin America and the Caribbean, we say: the time has come to make your choice.

There can be no neutrality now. It will be organized resistance or cowardly complicity. Final independence or permanent subjugation.

We have made our choice.

LOL, #Trump links #AbrahamAccords to any #Iran deal.

This is the Trump deal that #China scuttled by arranging a secret rapprochement between Iran and #SaudiArabia at #Israel's expense just 7 months before Iran's #AxisOfResistance (including #Hamas, #Hezbollah, and #Houthi) coordinated on, starting with the surprise rocket attacks and later, bombing from #Lebanon and #RedSea shipping disruptions from #Yemen.

Didn't #Xi tell Trump about this in their recent meeting in China?

Recent Actions by Hezbollah in Lebanon Against the Invading Zionist Entity

The Islamic Resistance is committed to defending its land and people, especially as the “israeli” enemy exceeds boundaries with its criminality, and this is the minimum duty to curb it and prevent it from pursuing its dangerous goals against Lebanon as a state, people, and resistance.

The Breakdown of Zionist Deterrence: Hezbollah’s Wired Drones Shatter the Illusions of a “Buffer Zone” and American Blackmail

Lebanon today stands on a simmering tin roof, simmering with field and political developments whose gravity surpasses the contexts of the conventional wars the region has witnessed over the past decades. What is happening in southern Lebanon and the capital, Beirut, is not merely a violation of fragile truce agreements, but rather a stark manifestation of the clash of wills between two projects: the resistance project, which is consolidating the equation of comprehensive deterrence, and the “Zionist-American hegemony” project, which is desperately trying to restore a military prestige that has been dragged through the mud of field defeats since the beginning of this year. A careful reading of the field situation reveals that the Zionist enemy, with direct political and military cover from the Trump administration in Washington, is racing against time to impose a new geographical reality under the name of a “buffer zone.” This is colliding with a strategic wall of defense built by the resistance through unprecedented technological and combat tools that have turned the balance of power upside down.

The truce announced on April 17th was in reality nothing more than a “warrior’s respite,” which the enemy attempted to exploit to catch its breath and reposition its exhausted forces. However, the facts on the ground prove that this truce was stillborn. The resistance, with its profound understanding of the enemy’s treacherous intentions, did not succumb to the empty diplomatic promises peddled by Washington. Instead, it continued to develop its defensive and offensive systems to match the magnitude of the existential threat. Today, with the death toll exceeding 2,650 and more than 85 southern towns transformed into disaster zones by the Zionist “scorched earth” policy, talk of a diplomatic settlement without breaking American arrogance is mere political rhetoric, devoid of any value in the balance of power, especially after the resistance demonstrated its ability to reach deep into the heart of the Zionist entity and target its vital infrastructure with pinpoint accuracy.

The Deception of the Truce and the Exposure of Intentions

The escalating Zionist violations since the beginning of this week are irrefutable proof that the temporary entity understands only the language of force. Today, Saturday, enemy aircraft launched more than fifty airstrikes targeting the strategic triangle of terror in Haboush, Kafr Dajjal, and Shukin. These raids were not random, but rather part of a failed Zionist attempt to sever the logistical supply lines of the resistance and destroy the drone launch sites that have inflicted terror and displacement on the settlers in the north. The targeting of civilians and residential areas today, which resulted in the martyrdom of eight people, reflects the state of military frustration experienced by the occupation leaders after their inability to achieve any tangible ground advances or secure the return of settlers to their settlements. This confirms that the “truce” was nothing more than a political cover for a new round of systematic aggression.

On the other hand, field intelligence reports indicate that the resistance has successfully turned this “deception” into a strategic trap for the enemy, luring elite Zionist brigades into pre-prepared killing zones in the central and eastern sectors. Digital data indicates that the enemy lost over 40 military vehicles, including Merkava tanks and armored personnel carriers, during April alone, despite Zionist claims of fire superiority along the front lines. This ongoing attrition has driven Netanyahu’s government to escalate its aerial bombardment as a substitute for its ground inability, attempting to compensate for its military failures by pressuring the environment that supports the resistance. This policy has historically proven ineffective in the face of the steadfast will of the Lebanese people, who refuse to be broken by the American-backed war machine.

This Zionist escalation coincides with suspicious movements by the occupation army along the border. Satellite imagery has revealed attempts to construct complex engineering fortifications extending up to 12 kilometers beyond the Blue Line. These movements clearly aim to seize Lebanese territory and establish a geographical reality that serves Zionist security at the expense of Lebanese sovereignty. The resistance leadership is well aware of this and responds with targeted operations against enemy bulldozers and engineering vehicles as soon as they approach sovereign points. The current battle is not merely an exchange of fire; it is an existential struggle to secure the homeland’s borders and protect it from the expansionist ambitions fueled by the unlimited American support for the usurping Zionist entity.

Wireless Drones and the Erosion of Deterrence

At the heart of this raging confrontation, a technological surprise emerged that shook the foundations of the Zionist security establishment: the unprecedented deployment of fiber-optic drones in combat by the resistance during May. This advanced technology has completely neutralized the effectiveness of the electronic jamming systems and frequency warfare that the enemy and the United States boast about. These drones rely on an extremely fine silk wire that transmits commands, data, and images with high quality, without the need for radio waves that can be intercepted. This qualitative shift has rendered Zionist air defenses, including the Iron Dome and David’s Sling, mere cardboard cutouts against swarms of drones that strike their military targets with surgical precision, resulting in a complete paralysis of the enemy’s early warning and surveillance systems at forward positions.

Military media cameras have documented sophisticated operations in which Zionist command and control centers deep within the Galilee were destroyed using these drones. This resulted in the deaths and injuries of dozens of enemy officers and soldiers, without radar systems being able to detect the drones’ trajectories or launch sites. Field reports indicate that more than 120 successful drone attacks have been carried out since the beginning of last month, directly targeting intelligence stations in the Shebaa Farms and the radar site on Mount Hermon. This has blinded the enemy’s technological capabilities and left its ground forces in a state of confusion and constant anxiety. This technological superiority of the resistance is not merely a military achievement; it is a formal declaration of the end of the era of “absolute air and technological superiority” for the Zionist entity.

Hamas:

Wednesday, 08/04/2026

Hezbollah:

We confirm that the blood of the martyrs and the wounded will not go in vain, and that today’s massacres, like all brutal attacks and crimes, confirm our natural and legal right to resist the occupation and respond to its aggression, and will increase our determination to resist and confront in order to curb the enemy, defend our people and our homeland, and protect our security in the face of ongoing aggression.

Georges Abdallah Declares Support For Iranian Position in War

Georges Abdallah spoke in Beirut today during the launch of a national call for comprehensive resistance. His full statement is published below:

Our region is suffering from a comprehensive imperialist zionist attack. All of our nation’s entities are exposed to destruction. What happened in Syria and what will happen elsewhere lies in wait for us all.

Either we submit to the process of Somalization and accept its priorities or we confront it. Lebanon possesses all the qualities of steadfastness. Its fedayeen possess all the solid will and the necessary concepts for the success of the resistance process.

It is now time for our parties to rise to this level. This attack, which has failed miserably as is clearly evident before us. If we were to choose, we would have chosen no other than this resistance.

Let it be clear to everyone that the fundamental matter is if Iran were to lose today, history will sweep us all away. Either we stand on our feet and look to the future, and look toward Egypt restoring its position, and Turkey restoring its position, and Pakistan restoring its position side by side with Iran, and a comprehensive defeat for all imperialist allies mandates in our world, and consequently, we will create the new world.

Hezbollah announces Khaybar 2 operation amid heavy rocket fire

The Islamic Resistance in Lebanon announced the launch of Khaybar 2 operations, signifying a new phase of escalation as part of the battle against the zionist occupation.

The operations are being carried out as part of Operation Devoured Straw to defend Lebanon and its people, in retaliation for the zionist aggression that has targeted a vast area of Lebanese villages and cities, including Beirut.

The eight coordinated operations focused on the occupied city of Haifa and its surrounding areas, with Hezbollah fighters striking the Stella Maris base, a strategic naval monitoring and surveillance base along the northern coast, with a salvo of rockets at 8:00 pm local time.

At the same time, the movement announced it targeted the Nasherim base southeast of Haifa with rocket fire and swarms of suicide drones.

Hezbollah also said it struck infrastructure linked to the zionist military in the Krayot area, north of Haifa, using additional rocket barrages.

In a fourth statement on the Khaybar 2 operations, the movement announced it also targeted Tefen Base (east of Akka) at 20:00, using rockets and suicide drones.

Separately, the Islamic Resistance said it fired four rocket salvos at four zionist settlements,  Shlomi, Shomera, Zar’it, and Nahariya.

What the zionist media is saying

In a related development, zionist Channel 12 reported that the Israeli military told settlers it had not detected any Hezbollah movement, indicating an imminent rocket attack, and therefore did not issue warnings.

Earlier,  reports stated that renewed rocket fire from Lebanon emerged, with sirens sounding in Nahariya, Akka, Haifa, and surrounding areas.

At the same time, waves of attack drones reportedly entered occupied Palestine’s airspace following the rocket barrages, triggering sirens across multiple settlements in the Upper al-Jalil.

Channel 12 said rocket fire from Lebanon toward the north had been “continuous,” reporting more than 40 rockets and drones launched toward the region.

Israel Hayom described around 20 minutes of uninterrupted rocket fire directed at Haifa and northern areas.

On its part, Channel 11  quoted former zionist military and intelligence officials as saying the Lebanese front represents a uniquely complex and layered battlefield compared with other arenas.

Hezbollah launched Khaybar 1

On March 17, Hezbollah announced the launch of Khaybar 1 operations. At the time, zionist media reported non-stop sirens across the occupied north of Palestine, as well as continuous rocket launches from South Lebanon.

The Resistance also emphasized that these strikes targeted military objectives only, unlike zionist attacks, which target civilians, stressing that the operations are meant to deter zionist aggression and prevent further escalation against Lebanon.

Resistance Organizations Continue to Denounce Zionist Execution Law

The Democratic Front for the Liberation of Palestine condemns, in the strongest terms, the “israeli” Knesset’s approval of the law to execute Palestinian prisoners in the occupation’s prisons, by a majority of 62 votes to 48. This step constitutes a dangerous qualitative escalation in the occupation’s policies and is a clear expression of its accelerating slide toward fascism and racist legislation.

This criminal law is considered a flagrant violation of all rules of international humanitarian law and reaffirms once again that the occupation state is nothing but a regime based on organized oppression and terrorism. It hides behind slogans of “democracy” and “rule of law” in a misleading attempt to improve its image before the world, while in reality, it practices the ugliest forms of systematic killing and ethnic cleansing against our Palestinian people.

The Front believes that the approval of this law comes in the context of an open war waged by the occupation government against our people, targeting the Palestinian human being in their life, dignity, and rights. This bloody approach will not succeed in breaking the will of our people or deterring them from continuing their legitimate struggle in all its forms; rather, it will make them more steadfast and attached to their fixed national rights, foremost among them freedom, independence, and self-determination.

The Front calls on the international community—governments, parliaments, political forces, and human rights organizations—to assume its legal and moral responsibilities, to break out of the state of silence and complicity, by condemning this racist law clearly and explicitly, and by taking practical steps to isolate the occupation government and hold it accountable for its crimes before international forums and courts.

The Front also demands the provision of immediate international protection for Palestinian prisoners in the occupation’s prisons, the guaranteeing of their full rights in accordance with the Geneva Conventions and international humanitarian law, and working to stop the policies of torture, medical neglect, and slow killing to which they are subjected daily.

Our Palestinian people, who have offered and continue to offer immense sacrifices, will remain loyal to their cause and firmer than all attempts at oppression and extermination, and will continue their struggle until achieving their full and undiminished national rights.

Palestinian Islamic Jihad:
—
In a dangerous escalation that represents a violation of all human, moral, and international norms and charters, the Knesset of the “israeli” entity approved this evening a law authorizing the application of the death penalty against Palestinian prisoners. This reflects the thirst for bloodshed among the entity’s leaders, the use of the parliamentary framework to pass extermination under the eyes of the entire world, and the transformation of prisons into arenas for political liquidation.

Passing this unjust and unfair law reveals that the legal and judicial system in the entity is nothing but a tool for political revenge aimed at misleading public opinion, no less brutal than the crimes committed by the occupation army in the field.

This decision constitutes a flagrant breach of the Geneva Conventions, particularly the Fourth Convention regarding territories under occupation. It also fundamentally contradicts the principle of prohibiting torture and cruel treatment, and rises to the level of crimes that warrant prosecution before international courts.

In the face of this escalation, the continued international and Arab silence constitutes blatant complicity, which requires a firm stance from international and humanitarian institutions, primarily the International Court of Justice and the UN commission of inquiry, to classify this law as a crime against humanity and work to pursue the entity’s leaders in all international forums.

The approval of this law will not achieve security for the occupation state, but will rather increase the region’s volatility and create a new reality in defense of the prisoners and to safeguard their lives.

We call on our people to escalate the confrontation with the occupation everywhere to strike down this law and save the lives of our prisoners.

Monday, 30 March 2026

This aggressive decision issued by an artificial, barbaric, and savage entity, which does not recognize any international law and does not adhere to any ethical standards, is a dangerous attempt to institutionalize execution, legitimize intentional killing, and create a false legal cover for a crime that already exists—one that this zionist enemy has practiced for decades against Palestinian prisoners through brutal torture, intentional medical negligence, and all forms of abuse, criminality, and inhumanity.

This entity has reached this level of insolence, arrogance, and criminality due to the shameful international silence and failure regarding all its perpetrations and massacres against children, women, civilians, and journalists, and its targeting of hospitals, schools, and shelters in Palestine, Lebanon, Yemen, and Iran. The international community’s continued policy of overlooking and complacency regarding those zionist crimes and its blatant violations of international and humanitarian laws will only lead to encouraging it to further persist in its crimes and complete the genocide against the Palestinian people.

Hezbollah, as it expresses its full and steadfast solidarity with the heroic Palestinian prisoners and the resisting people of Palestine, calls upon the international community with all its institutions, from the United Nations and the Human Rights Council to the International Committee of the Red Cross, to take urgent and immediate action to shoulder their legal, humanitarian, and moral responsibilities, work to stop this dangerous criminal descent, and secure the necessary protection for Palestinian prisoners unjustly imprisoned in the prisons of the terrorist occupation.

Collapsing Empire: The Resistance Disarms Zionist Regime

As the criminal Zionist-American war on Iran enters its second month, the conflict has proven so ruinous for the aggressors that dire alarm is being widely sounded. Embarrassing failure to subdue the Islamic Republic from the air has raised the prospect of a US ground operation of some kind, widely perceived as a suicide mission. Washington has also burned through over 850 Tomahawk missiles and 1,000 air-defense interceptors, at a rate the Pentagon finds “alarming”. In the process, “Israel” is rapidly approaching total disarmament.

On March 24th, elite British state-connected ‘think tank’ RUSI published a withering post mortem of the war’s first 16 days. An in-house “ledger tool” tracking the “intense consumption of advanced munitions” by the US and Zionist entity calculates 11,294 fires over this period, which cost a total of approximately $26 billion to produce. Resultantly, US – and thus Israeli – inventories of long-range interceptions and precision strike weapons “are nearing exhaustion.” And it will perhaps cost double that staggering amount to replenish what has been lost.

The Resistance shows no signs of slowing its onslaught, with every indication Tehran’s munitions production continues apace in wartime. Even the Western media has acknowledged Iran’s drone and missile arsenal costs a fraction to produce of the past and future outlay involved in shooting them down. Per RUSI, the war on Iran has exposed a “critical vulnerability” at the core of the Empire’s warfighting capabilities: a “strategically ruinous cost-exchange ratio that the West’s industrial capacity is not prepared to sustain.”

Over a dozen different munitions were fired by the US and “Israel” over the conflict’s first 16 days, “at a rate that appears to be unsustainable.” Now, Tehran’s relentless barrage “continues to drain the coalition’s most critical assets” – RUSI calculates missile and drone attacks have averaged 33 and 94 strikes daily, on average. By contrast, the organisation’s analysis shows “the magazine abyss” for Washington and Tel Aviv is “coming soon”. Moreover, Rheinmetall’s CEO has cautioned the Empire’s global munitions stockpiles are “empty or nearly empty.”

The Zionist-American war on Iran has thus become “a contest of endurance,” in which “the decisive advantage shifts to the actor that can sustain its defensive economy and replenish its most critical assets.” Based on current battle trends, the Islamic Republic firmly holds that advantage, and will continue to do so. The US could be mere weeks away from running out of ground-attack missiles – including much-vaunted ATACMS – and THAAD interceptors. RUSI similarly forecasts “Israel’s” Arrow interceptors will “likely” be “completely expended” come April.

On top of enormous expense, even at pre-war production levels, it would take years to replace what was spent in just over two weeks against Iran. As this journalist documented on March 24th, Tehran’s closure of the Strait of Hormuz has thrown the Empire’s already shattered defence industrial base into total disarray. Commodities and components central to constructing and maintaining digital and electronic systems, and precision-guided munitions, which hitherto transited the Strait daily in abundance, are now scarcer and ever-rising in cost.

‘Constant Alert’

Iran has not only overwhelmed and disarmed the Zionist entity and imperial targets throughout West Asia via systematic, staggered blitzes of drones and missiles. Crippling at least 12 US and allied radars and satellite terminals throughout the region has dented interception rates far further, while increasing the number of munitions necessary to shoot down the latest barrage blasted from Tehran – often unsuccessfully. Up to 11 Patriot interceptors can be fired at an Iranian missile, and up to eight at a single drone.

As a March 26th report by highly influential Zionist ‘think tank’ JINSA observes, “Iran’s attacks have imposed mounting costs on every component of the defensive architecture.” The Islamic Republic entered the conflict “with a deliberate plan to degrade US and [allied] capabilities by attacking each element of their air defense architectures.” In the process, “some of the most capable and expensive sensors” in Washington’s global inventory have been destroyed, with little chance of near-term repair.

These sensors in many cases explicitly provide the Zionist entity with an “early warning” system, tearing a gaping and ever-widening hole in Tel Aviv’s detection and warning network. As such, Iranian drone swarms – “frequently drawing on Russian tactical innovations from the Ukraine war” – are routinely proving “far harder to detect and defeat” than missiles, hitting twice the number of targets with pinpoint accuracy. Some US sensor systems simply cannot detect low-altitude Shahed volleys – including those specifically designed to counter drones.

It is not just Shaheds that have wreaked havoc. The entire Resistance is increasingly deploying fiber-optic guided drones “immune to electronic warfare jamming,” and first-person-view drones “for precision strikes against point targets,” JINSA reports. Other Iranian drones are equipped with jet engines, making them significantly faster than Shaheds, and interception even more problematic. As the conflict evolves too, Tehran has increasingly relied on ballistic missiles carrying cluster warheads, which release up to 80 submunitions at high altitude that scatter across areas spanning several miles.

JINSA assesses over half of the total Iranian missiles fired during this conflict to date carried cluster warheads, compared with three known uses during the calamitous 12 Day War. “Even a successful intercept does not guarantee the bomblets are stopped” – if interceptors fail to strike these missiles before they reenter the Earth’s atmosphere, they still disperse submunitions in the air, or release them upon impact. These attacks don’t deliberately target Israeli civilians, but nonetheless make daily life miserable for the settler colony’s population:

“Smaller, more frequent Iranian salvos keep civilian populations under constant alert…[This] shortens the time between attacks while reducing overall lethality, trading mass effect for persistence to wear down daily life. Warheads with cluster munitions amplify these disruptions by increasing the chance that submunitions or debris fall in populated areas…”Israel’s” decision not to fire against all incoming ballistic missiles carrying cluster munitions also suggests a need to ration interceptors.”

‘Highly Capable’

However, the Resistance is predominantly concerned with fulfilling its “deliberate plan to degrade” US and Israeli defensive capabilities, to drive the former out of West Asia permanently and make the region safe for Palestine’s final liberation. On this score, JINSA notes the “devastating effects” of Iran’s drones and missile barrages on previously invulnerable targets. For example, the Pentagon estimates a single Resistance strike on the US Navy Fifth Fleet headquarters in Bahrain cost approximately $200 million.

It’s one of over a dozen US bases in the Gulf to sustain “significant damage.” Fighter jets have been destroyed, American soldiers injured and killed in sizeable numbers, and survivors sent scurrying to local hotels. Iran has resolved to target these makeshift, remote bases. Local air defense batteries are thoroughly preoccupied with “sufficiently defending” devastated US military installations, “to create the conditions for additional assets and repair teams to flow into theater.”

When they will arrive, how long they will take to restore what has been lost, and whether doing so will be remotely safe, remains to be seen. Meanwhile, “Iranian fire against shipping in the Gulf has proven even harder to stop than attacks on land targets.” Over half of known Resistance projectiles fired at vessels in the Gulf and Strait of Hormuz have hit their targets. With Gulf governments having depleted almost their entire interceptor stocks since February 28th, what comes next could be catastrophic:

“Most Gulf bases, ports, and cities sit only a short distance from Iranian launch areas, which reduces the time defenders have to detect, track, and engage incoming threats. Iranian ballistic mis- siles launched toward Kuwait, Bahrain, Qatar, or the UAE can reach their targets within three to 10 minutes, a fraction of the already short 12 – 15 minutes that ballistic missiles take to reach Israel.”

To say the least, from the Empire’s perspective, none of this should be happening. The Zionist-American war on Iran was intended to be a one-sided aerial gangbeating lasting only a few days, which would culminate with the Islamic Republic’s collapse, or at least total capitulation. There was seemingly no sense in Washington, Tel Aviv, or other imperial centres of power that Tehran could fight back at all, let alone bring America’s military machine to its knees.

Yet, the inevitable upshot of kickstarting a major conflict with the Resistance was entirely predictable, and indeed widely predicted. None other than JINSA released an assessment in September 2024 warning how Iran had developed a “large and highly capable missile and drone force,” designed to render US bases in West Asia “unuseable” and “overwhelm” air defences. JINSA acknowledged this capacity posed a dire threat to the Zionist entity – but argued “Israel” simply required enhanced missile interceptors to counter the menace.

That appraisal was authored by former CENTCOM commander Frank McKenzie, who oversaw the Empire’s disastrous retreat from Afghanistan. On March 20th, he openly boasted how the war on Iran was unfolding according to a strategy drawn up by CENTCOM over “many years”, and “my fingerprints are on this war plan.” McKenzie’s failure to take known threats seriously, and delusional belief in the ultimate invincibility – and inexhaustibility – of US and Israeli air defences, surely accounts for the conflict rebounding so spectacularly against the aggressors.

JINSA’s latest report is likewise rife with fantastical optimism. It argues Iran can be defeated by the Empire pressuring its vassals to move their US-supplied air defences to the Gulf, forming a coalition with “partners” in Europe and West Asia “to escort shipping through the Strait of Hormuz,” and other hallucinatory plots. In a bitter irony, on March 5th, the report’s author cheered how “Iran’s missile firepower has almost run out.” Will the Zionist entity’s very real disarmament even be noticed by imperial strategists?

Structures of the Imperialist Assault on Iran

After the martyrdom of Hajj Qassem Soleimani in 2020, an Iranian cleric made a tongue in cheek remark that Iranians would need to kill Spongebob in order to achieve an equal revenge for the brutal murder of one of the main architects of the entire Axis of Resistance’s military capabilities. The comment, now in the light of the assassination of Seyyed Ali Khamenei, rings true beyond its memetic qualities. The leaders in Iran are statesmen, religious leaders, and scholars, the stature of which do not exist in the United States; Ali Larijani, for example, had written four books on the philosophy of Immanuel Kant. All of these leaders, who have refused the safety of bunkers and special treatment, suffer the same fate as their people.

The skies over Tehran were black with poisonous fumes from the joint American-Zionist attacks on Iran’s oil facilities, signaling that the imperialists have entered a qualitatively new stage in their brutality. If the bombing murder of more than 150 little girls in Minab was not enough to whet their appetite for destruction, the gassing of an entire city certainly makes sense by their logic. No longer are we hearing refrains of ‘save Iranian women’ or ‘regime change’; the only refrain that remains is ‘exterminate the brutes’. Yet, for anyone with clear vision and a mind which is not colonized and owned by Zionist television media, it is clear that Iran–despite the catastrophic loss of civilian life–have military capabilities which were vastly underestimated by the imperialists, and has carefully selected their targets in order to inflict the most damage to imperialist interests in West Asia. Americans don’t have heroes, all that’s left are brands, the image of toughness and worse yet they wear their strategic interests on their sleeve. Because the Iranians understand this, they know exactly which brands to tarnish and which strategic interests to hit with their advanced missile arsenal. This essay does not seek to be the most updated or real-time analysis, because in such a fast-paced war that would be a Herculean task, but rather this essay seeks to understand how Iran has been able to build deterrence, maintain its structure of alliances, and to provide an antidote for any defeatist thought which lingers.

While the American, Zionist-owned news media tries to tell us that Iran is sending missiles willy-nilly into the Gulf states and Occupied Palestine, the reality is much more clear for those with eyes to see it. Even supposedly left-of-center outlets like Mehdi Hassan’s “Zeteo” news agency entertain analysis which uncritically talks of Iran sending missiles to the Gulf states, without mentioning that they are US military installations which are hit. European Union foreign policy chief Kaja Kallas, among others in the West, has expressed ‘solidarity’ with the Gulf monarchies. In a joint European Union – Gulf Cooperation Council (EU-GCC) statement, Iran’s attacks are seen as ‘unjustifiable’:

“The Ministers strongly condemned the unjustifiable Iranian attacks against the GCC countries which threaten regional and global security and called on Iran to cease immediately its attacks…”

As early as 400 BCE, Sun Tzu put what the Iranians are currently doing into words: “…what is of supreme importance in war is to attack the enemy’s strategy”. The GCC countries are the backbone of petrodollar recycling schemes where US dollars used to buy oil are recycled back into the US economy in the form of government bonds and investment in military and tech companies which then allows the Federal Reserve to continue printing away our purchasing power at home. What’s more, these sclerotic monarchies are also the rear guard for the Zionist colony; in the politico-military realm, they host American military bases and economically the Abraham accords have facilitated large volumes of trade between the GCC and the Zionist colony. Socioculturally, cities like Dubai serve as an ideological mirage which allows the average stone-faced blue light victim in America to view it as a haven of hotels, casinos, complete with lurid orientalist fantasies about the women ‘available’ there. This aura of safety, insulation from the supposed ‘savagery’ of the rest of West Asia, and bubble of Western consumption habits is all but gone due to the Iranian precision missile strikes. Of vital importance to the entire imperialist strategy, as I have mentioned in previous articles, is the tech economy, particularly data centers. So when we see the Iranians hit two Amazon Web Services data centers in the Gulf, it is not an attack on civilian infrastructure, rather it is an attack on a nerve center of the entire imperialist economy and network infrastructure. As for the Iranian missiles hitting the Zionist colony, these too have destroyed the facade of “Israeli” invincibility and the entire Zionist security doctrine. Military bases, radar stations, air and naval bases, command and control centers, as well as economic interests such as the Tel Aviv diamond district have been hit with Qadr, Khoramshahr, and Khaibar Shekan missiles. So when Kallas and other American lackeys declare their ‘solidarity’ with the GCC countries and “Israel”, it is because they know that the Iranian strategy is effective, and is actually hitting targets which form an integral part of the imperialist architecture of control in West Asia.

What of the response in the American government? Contradictions continue to become antagonistic in the MAGA camp, with former Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene criticizing the war as ‘Israel’s war’ and even citing the bombing of the Minab school girls. The ‘Israel’s war’ narrative has rhetorical benefits but it totally misses the woods for the trees in the sense that the genocide in Gaza has exposed to the whole world that “Israel” and the USA are one large settler colonial homunculus where the US is clearly the senior partner. In the case of MTG and other conservatives, blaming “Israel” fits into the great replacement and other conspiratorial lines of thought. Per usual, the Democrats are totally flaccid, and represent one wing of a bipartisan policy which calls for more wars, and more de-development of the global south. Their latest protest is that Trump ‘does not have a plan’ for the war. While this is certainly something to consider, the hyperfixation on the subjective character of Donald Trump without a structural critique of how he came to power has achieved nothing for the Democratic Party. The refrain of “orange man bad” is the extent of their politics, and for all their whining, they are leading the global working class like lambs to the slaughter.

By way of a conclusion, the importance of naming the structures which shape this war cannot be overstated. Iran has been under siege for 47 years for a number of reasons. Firstly, the Islamic Revolution of 1979 did not shy away from allying itself with the revolutionaries of the global south, such as those in the DPRK, Burkina Faso, Nicaragua, Cuba, Grenada, and most importantly, Palestine. Relatedly, Iran’s pledge to support Palestinian resistance until liberation has been and continues to be a thorn in the side of imperialist designs for West Asia. To this end, after the western backed Iraqi invasion, Iran has forged a path of self-sufficiency. This self-sufficiency has led them to become a major industrial power and a center of accumulation capable of challenging Zionism and imperialism.

Through this independent path, the entire Axis of Resistance has been forged as a force which is capable of liberating the region, as we see through more than 60 waves of attacks on the imperialist infrastructure in 23 days at the time of writing. While “Israel” is pushed further into a corner, and the U.S. is desperate for any shred of legitimacy or signal of success, the Arab-Iranian region is once again plunged into a war where the outcomes are limited. Victory for the U.S. and the Zionists means a totally de-developed Iran, split into rump states incapable of resistance. Victory for Iran is deterrence, and the ability to return to the negotiation table with bigger demands such as the reduction of western military installations in the region. Until then, the fronts in Lebanon, Iran, and Palestine are opened, and working people suffer the greatest costs.

Resistance Forces Launch Massive Assault on Imperialist Forces

The Islamic Resistance in Lebanon – Hezbollah carried out multiple operations early on Tuesday, targeting zionist occupation forces, military positions, and settlements inside Lebanese territory and northern occupied Palestine.

The operations are being carried out as part of Operation Devoured Straw to defend Lebanon and its people, in retaliation for zionist attacks that have targeted numerous Lebanese villages and cities, including the Southern Suburb of Beirut.

On Tuesday, March 17, the Resistance announced seven key operations targeting zionist forces and armored vehicles in southern Lebanon and near the Lebanese-Palestinian border.

Israeli gatherings targeted

• At 12:30 am, an assembly point of zionist soldiers at al-Assi site opposite Mays al-Jabal was targeted with a rocket salvo.
• At 12:45 am, fighters targeted an zionist assembly point in Jdeidet Mays al-Jabal with a rocket salvo.
• At 12:45 am, a separate assembly point of zionist soldiers south of the border town of Maroun al-Ras was struck with a rocket salvo.
• At 1:45 am, an assembly point of zionist soldiers in Hamams Hill south of al-Khiam was targeted with rocket fire.
• At 3:00 am, in the settlement of Misgav Am, an assembly point of zionist soldiers was targeted with a rocket salvo.
• At 5:30 am, Islamic Resistance fighters targeted a gathering of zionist soldiers in Khirbet al-Manara, across from the border town of Houla, with a rocket salvo.
• At 7:15 am, Hezbollah fighters targeted an zionist army position, where occupation soldiers were hiding inside a tent in the border town of Maroun al-Ras, using an attack drone.
• At 1:00 pm, the Resistance targeted an occupation troop gathering near the Khiam municipal building with a rocket salvo.
• At 3:15 pm, Islamic Resistance fighters targeted a gathering of zionist soldiers and military vehicles in Jabal Warda in the border town of Markaba with artillery shells.

Guided missile strikes on tanks

• At 1:45 am, a Merkava tank in the Taybeh project area was targeted with a guided missile. As zionist forces rushed to withdraw casualties under a thick smoke cover, Resistance fighters targeted the area with artillery shells and a rocket salvo.
• At 2:00 am, a second Merkava tank in the Taybeh project area was struck with a guided missile, bringing the number of tanks hit since last night to 5.

Illegal settlements pummeled

In response to the forced displacement of the Lebanese people from their homes and towns across the South, Bekaa, and Beirut’s southern suburb, the Islamic Resistance issued evacuation warnings to northern settlements, ordering their settlers to retreat 5 kilometers from the Palestinian-Lebanese border. The settlements of Kiryat Shmona and Nahariya have also been declared as war zones, coming under direct Resistance fire.

• At 8:30 am, Hezbollah targeted the illegal settlement of Nahariya with a rocket salvo.

Operations under Khaybar 1

On Tuesday, the Islamic Resistance in Lebanon announced the launch of Khaybar 1 operations, signifying a new phase of escalation as part of the battle against the occupation. The launch was marked by simultaneous operations consisting of dozens of rockets targeting illegal settlements and key Israeli military sites.

Zionist media reported non-stop sirens across the occupied north, as well as continuous rocket launches from South Lebanon.

• At 8:30 pm, Islamic Resistance fighters launched large rocket barrages at the illegal settlements of Kiryat Shmona, Metula, Malikiya, Dishon, Avivim, Kfar Blum, Ramot Naftali, Zar’it, Shtula, Even Menachem, and Beit Hillel.
• At 8:30 pm, Resistance fighters targeted Meron Air Operations and Monitoring Base north of “Israel” with a rocket salvo.
• Again at 8:30 pm, Resistance fighters targeted Giva’ drone control base east of Safed with a rocket salvo.
• At 8:30 pm, Islamic Resistance fighters targeted the Northern Command headquarters (Dado Base) and Ein Zaytim base, north of Safad, with a rocket salvo.
• At 8:30 pm, in their fifth simultaneous operation, Islamic Resistance fighters targeted Amid Base north of Lake Tiberias and Shimson Base west of the lake with rocket salvos.
• At 8:30 pm, Resistance fighters targeted the air defense system in Ma’alot-Tarshiha with a rocket salvo.
• Five minutes later, at 8:35 pm, Islamic Resistance fighters targeted the settlements of Shomera, Shtula, and Zar’it with artillery shells.
• At 8:30 pm, Islamic Resistance fighters targeted a zionist troop gathering in Khirbet al-Manara, across from Houla, with a rocket salvo.

Iran launches wave 61 of True Promise 4 to avenge Larijani

Iran’s Islamic Revolution Guard Corps (IRGC) announced wave 61 of Operation True Promise 4, launching a large-scale missile attack targeting more than 100 military and security sites in the occupied territories.

According to the IRGC, the new wave focused on Tel Aviv, described as a central hub of the zionist military and security activity. The attack reportedly included advanced missile systems such as Khorramshahr-4 (multiple-warhead missile), Qadr missiles, Emad missiles, and Kheybarshkan missiles.

The statement detailed that the operation was carried out under the slogan “O Abu Abdullah Al-Hussein,” and in retaliation for the killing of Security Chief Ali Larijani and his companions in a US-zionist aggression on the country overnight.

According to the statement, the targets were successfully struck due to what it described as a collapse in the entities multi-layered air defense systems, allowing missiles to reach strategic locations.

Sirens and explosions across Tel Aviv

Early Wednesday morning, air raid sirens blared across Tel Aviv and the central occupied territories following the detection of a new wave of missiles launched from Iran. Zionist Channel 12 reported dozens of consecutive explosions echoing through the Gush Dan area.

Zionist media confirmed that Iranian cluster missiles landed in several locations, including Holon, causing fires and damaging multiple vehicles.

A warehouse in the Mishmar HaShfa settlement was also destroyed, and debris from the missile salvo caused significant material damage.

Strikes cause widespread casualties and damage

The IRGC stated that the targets were successfully struck due to what it described as a collapse in Israel’s multi-layered air defense systems, allowing missiles to reach strategic locations.

The attack reportedly caused:

• Power outages across parts of Tel Aviv
• Disruptions to emergency and response operations
• Initial estimates of more than 230 dead and wounded

Ramat Gan and surrounding areas hit

Zionist media reported that two settlers were killed in Ramat Gan, south of Tel Aviv, while cluster missiles struck 15 locations across the area, causing widespread destruction and panic.

Significant damage was reported at the Sedor train station, and a building in central Tel Aviv collapsed due to the missile impact. Several injuries were recorded from falling debris.

The latest wave follows the 60th wave of True Promise 4, which was launched to avenge the martyrdom of the head of the Basij Mostazafan Organization,  General Gholamreza Soleimani, following a US-zionist aggression.

The IRGC announced that the wave was conducted as a hybrid operation, targeting US bases across the region and in the occupied Palestinian territories. In addition to US bases, the wave targeted a zionist air logistics and supply center in Ashdod and the Rafael arms complex using Emad and Qadr missile systems.

Iraqi and Syria Resistance forces launch attacks

The Iraqi Islamic Resistance announced the execution of 47 operations using drones and missiles in their attacks.

These attacks spanned across the Gulf with a concentration targeting the US embassy in the Green Zone in Iraq.

The Syrian Resistance launched missiles towards the zionist entity. Jund al-Karrar, a newly announced Syrian Resistance front, began a new operation series in support of Iran and in response to the aggression, launching the new missile “Qudoos” at Shamir settlement in the occupied Syrian Golan. The strike was successful.

“Time for a Global Axis of Resistance”

by Tariq Marzbaan & Nora Hoppe in Al Mayadeen English

“The centuries-old racist-colonialist essence of Western imperialism – amplified over recent postmodern decades by the ruthless ambitions of the Anglo-American-Zionist alliance – has degenerated into total lawlessness and barbarism. It has become a blind and unfettered force of inconceivable savagery, forming the foundation of what we call the Axis of Barbarism”

Iran Has Captured American Soldiers

Iran’s top security official Ali Larijani said he had received reports that several American soldiers had been taken prisoner during the ongoing war, accusing Washington of attempting to conceal the incident.

In a message posted on the social media platform X, Larijani wrote:

“It has been reported to me that several American soldiers have been taken prisoner. But the Americans claim that they have been killed in action.”

He added:

“Despite their futile efforts, the truth is not something they can hide for too long.”

Larijani suggested that the United States may be attempting to obscure the circumstances of the alleged captures by reporting American troops as killed in action.

“They promote a misleading narrative claiming that five or six American soldiers have been killed,” he said, adding that the number of reported deaths could later be increased under different explanations.

The United States quickly rejected the claim.

A spokesperson for US Central Command (CENTCOM) told Al-Jazeera that the Iranian allegations about captured American soldiers were false.

The exchange comes as the conflict between Iran and the United States continues to intensify following the launch of joint US-Zionist airstrikes on Iran on February 28, triggering waves of retaliatory attacks across the region.

Iranian Leadership Response

Larijani also issued broader remarks about the war, saying the United States had failed to achieve its strategic objectives in launching the military campaign against Iran.

In an interview broadcast by Iranian television, he said Washington’s strategy had been based on the assumption that the conflict could be concluded quickly.

“The Americans wanted to end the war in a short period of time,” Larijani said, adding that Iran had prevented this outcome.

According to Larijani, one of the goals of the campaign had been to create internal instability in Iran and ultimately divide the country.

He said the United States and the zionist entity had also hoped that targeting Iran’s leadership would cause the political system to collapse.

Larijani argued that these efforts had failed, pointing to what he described as unity among the Iranian public during the conflict.

He warned that the killing of Iran’s Supreme Leader, Ali Khamenei, during the war would carry consequences and said Tehran would continue to respond.

Larijani also said Iran had maintained adequate domestic supplies of fuel and essential goods despite the conflict, adding that the government had worked to stabilize conditions across the country.

IRGC Military Operations

For its part, Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) said its forces have carried out extensive military operations during the first week of the war.

IRGC spokesperson Ali Mohammad Naeini told reporters that Iranian forces had launched hundreds of missiles and thousands of drones as part of retaliatory operations.

According to the IRGC, approximately 600 missiles have been fired since the start of the war, including ballistic missiles and cruise missiles using both liquid and solid fuel systems.

Iranian forces also conducted around 2,600 drone attacks during the same period, Naeini said.

He added that the operations targeted more than 200 locations and facilities connected to US and Israeli forces.

Among the systems reportedly struck were advanced radar installations linked to the US-operated THAAD missile defense network deployed in the region.

Naeini said Iranian attacks had destroyed seven advanced radar systems and disrupted part of what he described as the “American security umbrella.”

The IRGC spokesperson said the scale of Iranian firepower during the first three days of the conflict was comparable to the level of operations seen during a previous 12-day war.

Ongoing Retaliation

Iranian officials say the country is prepared for a prolonged confrontation.

Naeini stated that Iran’s armed forces are ready to sustain a large-scale war for up to six months at the current operational tempo.

“There is no reason for concern,” he said, adding that Iran’s military remained fully prepared and capable.

He said the country’s missile and drone capabilities remained intact and that operations would continue against US and Israeli targets.

Separately, Iranian officials said missile strikes had been launched against Israeli infrastructure during the latest phases of the confrontation.

Iranian media reported that missiles fired during the latest wave of operations struck strategic targets, including the Haifa oil refinery.

Iran said the attack was carried out using Khaibar-type missiles as part of the ongoing operation known as “True Promise 4.”

Iranian officials said the strike came in response to earlier US-Israeli attacks on Iranian energy infrastructure, including the Tehran oil refinery.

The exchanges underline the rapidly expanding scope of the war, which has drawn in multiple actors across the region and intensified fears of a prolonged regional conflict.
