On the 12th day of the Yankee imperialist war of aggression on Iran, the US and Israel continues their attempts at subjugating Iran to the will of Yankee imperialism. Bombardments of Iran and Lebanon continue, while Iran keeps defending itself. Iran has now launched the 41st wave of “Operation True Promise 4”, targeting what it describes as “US-Israeli positions in the region.”, while still keeping ship traffic through the strait of Hormuz blocked.
Parts from US missiles were recovered from the rubble of the Shajareh Tayyebeh Elementary School that was struck last week, cementing the proof that it was in fact a Yankee imperialist missile responsible for the massacre of the so far 175 people murdered.
Two foreign tankers carrying Iraqi fuel were struck by projectiles in Iraqi territorial waters, causing the crew to evacuate, this comes on top of an attack on a port in Oman, one of the last ports where crude oil was being exported from in the Middle East.
This, compounded with the additional targeting of energy infrastructure throughout the region, has caused the prize of oil to surge by 9% in just one day, again reaching over 100 USD per barrel. Despite efforts from the International Energy Agency (IEA) to release oil reserves in an attempt to stabilize the supply and the rise in prices with the release of 400 million barrels of oil, the oil price remains on a steady climb.
Chief strategy officer of Energy Pathways at Carlyle Group claims that “there is no policy response that can stop this ascent in crude — none.” adding that supply lines have been disrupted that will impact the global markets for months to come regarding oil, gas, fertilizer and by extension crop yields and so forth on a global scale, stating further that “the maximum amount of oil that can flow out of the reserves is 2 million barrels per day, so the 400 million barrels released by the IEA could take 200 days to flow out.” putting into perspective how the release is essentially just a proverbial “drop in the bucket” on a global scale.
Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) have announced that they are considering letting through ships of any country that expels US and Israeli ambassadors from its territory.
Iran’s army announced that it launched drone and missile attacks over the past hours targeting several strategic Israeli military and security sites, including an impact on the control tower of the Palmachim airport near Tel Aviv, a deployment site for air defense systems such as “David’s Sling” and Hermes 900 UAV’s, and also used for satellite launches and missile testing.

Kuwait International Airport was targeted by drones, causing material damage. An Italian military base in Iraqi Kurdistan was also targeted by an airstrike.
In Lebanon, Israeli strikes have so far murdered 687 people, including 98 children, with strikes hitting Qasraba in the Bekaa Valley and the Qantara bridge in Wadi al-Hujair in southern Lebanon.
IRGC announced a joint operation with Hezbollah for the 40th wave of “Operation True Promise 4”.They statethat the “operation involved launching Qadr, Emad, Kheibar-Shekan, and Fattah missiles at over 50 targets in Tel Aviv, occupied Al-Quds, and Haifa, as well as US bases in the region, including Al-Azraq Air Base [In Jordan] and Al-Kharj Air Base [Saudi Arabia].”
