Pouria Zeraati: The Strait of Hormuz belongs...

Trump: The Strait of Hormuz belongs to the US Army and America. 'The US Navy is enforcing one of the most effective and impenetrable blockades in history. No one has ever seen a blockade like this, where not even a single ship can get through. If a ship has oil, they’ll strike its cabin or target its rudder. If it doesn’t have oil, we’ll sink it outright. Right now, the oil shipments [with America’s help] passing through Hormuz have almost returned to their highest historical levels. In other words, the Strait of Hormuz belongs to the US Navy and belongs to the United States of America. And that’s exactly how it should be.' Shame on you, you trembling fool!

Pouria Zeraati: Signs of escalating tensions...

Important/ Signs of escalating tensions in the near future [likely after the US elections]: Bibi Netanyahu, in a meeting with Mohammed bin Zayed in the UAE, shared fresh intelligence from Israel's intelligence services with bin Zayed, indicating that the Islamic Republic is once again expanding its nuclear program; including new construction at the Kolang Mountain site. Netanyahu stated in this session that Israel's assessment is that the Islamic Republic may "in the coming weeks" launch an attack. CNN has confirmed that a senior Saudi security official was also present in the meeting.

Pouria Zeraati: He even screwed up...

He even screwed up Iraqchi's figure himself :)) Trump: 'Axios just published a report claiming that Trump offered the Islamic Republic a reduction in sanctions and the release of frozen funds. This is absolutely not true. I didn't offer them anything! The Axios report, like most of their reports, is a fabricated story published just to satisfy their "Trump Derangement Syndrome." They need to retract this fake report immediately!'

Pouria Zeraati: The Yemeni Leadership Council...

Important/ The Yemeni Leadership Council [backed by Saudi Arabia] announced that the Houthis are using Islamic Republic air defense systems that have been converted into cruise missiles, and warned that these weapons pose a serious threat to civilian aircraft in the southern Red Sea. The military spokesperson for this council stated that IRGC experts in Yemen assisted in modifying these weapons. These missiles are launched from Hodeidah and can remain airborne for up to 25 minutes. The thermal guidance system of these missiles can target "any heat source" and makes no distinction between military and civilian targets; therefore, it may also endanger commercial flights, UN aircraft, and humanitarian operations.

Pouria Zeraati: The Islamic Republic is desperately...

Important/ The Islamic Republic is desperately trying to restart the negotiations. The regime's bootlickers have started leaking to Reuters and the like that the regime wants to reach an agreement and is even willing to reopen the Strait. On the other side, Trump is determined not to lift the sanctions and blockade until he gets what he wants from the IRGC. In the meantime, the role of the Europeans (France and Britain) and China is crucial; they're set to meet Trump this week and act as intermediaries. Israel, of course, is busy cooking up its own plans for the Achunds and has a long-term strategy—unless Trump wants to return to operations sooner and seek help from here. Sensitive days are ahead...

Pouria Zeraati: A Note...

A Note/ Contrary to the regime leaders' perception and given Trump's character, the Republicans' poor performance in the midterm elections actually increases the likelihood of the U.S. returning to operations against them. Trump is intensely furious about the Islamic Republic's recent actions in Yemen and the Strait of Hormuz, and when he has nothing left to lose, he will become even more determined against the mullahs. The Washington Post has reported that Trump has privately acknowledged in conversations that some of his decisions, including the war with the Islamic Republic, may have played a role in creating the tough political conditions the Republicans are now facing. Trump's advisors have recently been much more straightforward with him about the unfavorable polls, and Trump himself is showing greater attention to them, as they indicate that support for him and the Republican Party has declined.

Pouria Zeraati: A note...

A note/ The news of upgrading Israel-Morocco diplomatic relations to ambassadorial level and opening embassies gains importance in these circumstances where Arabs and Israel are becoming more united against the regime. Today in reports, Kuwait will soon join the Abraham Accords too. Operations against the Houthis showed that Saudi Arabia sooner or later has no better option than this. The next round will be a war between an Israeli-Arab-American [and even European] coalition and the remnants of the I.R. ...
