Ten days have now passed in the Yankee imperialist war of aggression on Iran, and the US and its lackey Israel is still maintaining their blatant crimes in the region, continuing the bombardment of Iran, but also escalating the aggression on Lebanon, through Israeli strikes and operations.
Iran is defending itself, and have now launched wave 30 of “Operation True Promise 4”, striking among other targets a major oil refinery in Bahrain, and have warned that continued targeting of Iranian energy and civil infrastructure will result in retaliatory attacks on similar infrastructure in the region. A 7th casualty has been acknowledged by Yankee imperialism.
As of March 9, The Assembly of Experts have elected Mojtaba Khamenei as “Supreme Leader” following Ayatollah Ali Khamenei’s assassination. Mojtaba Khamenei is the son of the late Ayatolah Ali Khamenei and Iranian sources describe him as a religious scholar, war veteran, and longtime adviser within the leadership circle of the Islamic Republic.
Iran has struck an oil refinery in Bahrain, with reports from Bahraini authorities confirming that “a fire erupted after an Iranian attack on the Ma’ameer area.” The Ma’ameer industrial zone hosts the Bapco refinery, one of Bahrain’s most important energy facilities. This marks a shift into targeting not only military infrastructure, but also critical energy infrastructure in retaliatory strikes, reiterated in a statement from military officials in Iran.
After the strikes on an oil refinery in Tehran yesterday, reports are coming in of acid rain caused by massive quantities of released toxic hydrocarbons, sulfur dioxide, and nitrogen oxides. In contact with rain this can cause skin burns and severe lung damage.
A US missile attack on Iran failed, instead hitting a civilian area in Bahrain, leaving several injured.
Iran has launched its 30th wave in the “Operation True Promise 4”, firing a mix of Khorramshahr, Fattah and Khaibar missiles along with drones toward Israeli targets. According to Israeli media, the missile strikes resulted in two deaths and one injury across six locations in central Israel.
Israeli occupation forces fired white phosphorus munitions over residential areas in south Lebanon, risking indiscriminate harm to civilians, The Palestine Chronicle reports. This joins the long list of war-crimes committed by the genocidal State of Israel.
Al-Manar announced so far on Monday twelve operations in which Hezbollah’s combatants defended their land and fired rockets at Israeli targets in northern Israel, in response to the criminal Israeli aggression that targeted dozens of Lebanese cities and towns as well as the Beirut’s Dahiyeh.
Hezbollah writes in a statement: “After the Israeli landing in the town of Nabi Sheet failed two days ago, the enemy attempted once again to carry out an airborne insertion in the same area, only to find the vigilant eyes and ready weapons of the Mujahideen (resistance fighters) waiting.”
Local media reported that Hezbollah managed to down a helicopter, but Hezbollah made no mention of this in its statements.
The Iraqi militia group Saraya-Olyaeddam, which supports the resistance of Iran against the Yankee imperialist aggression, published a video of two UAVs launched toward US forces in Erbil, Iraq.
Oil prices continue to surge, as the main benchmark for oil prices rose by over 30% on Sunday, reaching a high of 119 USD per barrel at one point, with banks making predictions that the price per barrel could reach 150 USD by the end of the month.
