I was talking to some Americans on one of their blogs, and I said the same that this is the best chance for Reza Pehlavi if he wants to prove to the world that he is capable of leading the Iranian "revolution", yet he is so hesitant and not willing to lead from front.

The Americans replied to me that he is like Hamid Karzai of Afghanistan, i.e. he wants the Iranian throne presented to him in a platter and just like Karzai, he is just a puppet. Which also shows that Americans really don't care about him much because he is just a tool for their agenda.

Lebanese are facing a humanitarian crisis and an economic crisis. Their military is no match for Israel.

Then they should die while defending . If they can't even do that give free hand to hezbullah.

—️// Iran's Ministry of Defense Spokesman: 'We have prepared for a very long war, and therefore it would be foolish to use our most effective weapons in the very beginning. The enemy has a limited stockpile and everyone is aware of this fact.'

Yeah, it's clear that they are trying a different approach this time than June.

In June first days it was a intensive attack over Israel.
This time is less against Israel, and more against GCC economic targets.
Only they know why.

I dont understand the excuse of enemy limited stockpile.

The enemy air defenses stockpile is not spend if Iran dont launch anything.

He is being very undiplomatic saying these silly things as an official of the GoP. Someone should highlight that to the appropriate handles. His personal preferences cannot be the GoP policy.

Yes, this behavior will have serious diplomatic consequences if and if Reza Pehlavi comes to power. Khwaja Asif should keep his personal thoughts to himself and should not engage in such abusive rhetoric.

Fuk piss drinkin indians. I am disappointed Iranians a not been able to recognise these muslim hating pagens. Hopefully they learned by Indian leader actions. Perhaps Iranians should talk to Kashmiris

Everyone starts understanding at some point.

Key takeaways

• A Marshall Islands-flagged oil tanker, the MKD VYOM, was struck by an Iranian uncrewed surface vessel (USV) in a deadly attack near Muscat, Oman, resulting in one crew member's death.

A Marshall Islands-flagged oil tanker became the first ship to be struck by an Iranian uncrewed surface vessel (USV) during this conflict, the Ambrey maritime security firm told us. As we have frequently reported, USVs have been widely used by Ukraine against Russia and, in the Middle East, by the Iranian-backed Houthi rebels against commercial shipping.

You can catch up with our latest coverage of Operation Epic Fury, the joint U.S.-Israel attack on Iran in our rolling coverage here.

The ship, the MKD VYOM, was initially thought to have been struck by a projectile on March 1, in a deadly attack about 50 nautical miles north of Muscat, Oman. However, the United Kingdom Marine Trade Operations (UKMTO) organization, which is managed by the Royal Navy in the United Kingdom, gave an updated assessment of the incident Monday morning.



“UKMTO has received confirmation that the vessel was attacked by an Uncrewed Surface Vehicle (USV), and that the crew has been evacuated to shore,” the organization stated. “Authorities are investigating. Vessels are advised to transit with caution and report any suspicious activity to UKMTO.”

“The vessel suffered an explosion and subsequent fire after being struck by a suspected projectile while off the coast of Muscat, Oman on 1 March,” MKD VYOM‘s owner, V.Ships Asia said in a statement. “It is with great sadness that we confirm one crew member, who was in the engine room at the time of the incident, has died.”

While this is the first time Iran has used a USV to strike ships in the region, it should come as no surprise that it would deploy these weapons. Iran has steadily developed USVs and undersea vehicles capable of launching kamikaze attacks and added them to its arsenal. Iran, together with its Houthi allies in Yemen, has long been a pioneer in this space. As we have previously reported, the Houthis frequently used USVs in their campaign against Red Sea shipping.

The ongoing war in Ukraine has now fully demonstrated the very real threats these capabilities present to ships and coastal targets — even aircraft.



The MKD VYOM was one of at least four ships struck by Iran since the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps announced it was shutting down the Strait of Hormuz some 150 nautical miles to the northwest. That warning came after the U.S. and Israel started bombing Iranian targets on Feb. 28. We have previously examined in great detail what Iran could do to shut the Strait, a major chokepoint through which about 20% of the world’s crude oil passes.

“For your information, from now on…no ship of any type is…allowed to pass from the Strait of Hormuz.. From now on, the Strait of Hormuz is banned for all ships, the Strait of Hormuz is banned for all ships,” the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) said, via a radio transmission obtained by The War Zone.

The IRGC updated that warning on Monday, saying it was shutting the Strait and any ships attempting to pass through would be set on fire.

“The strait (of Hormuz) is closed. If anyone tries to pass, the heroes of the Revolutionary Guards and the regular navy will set those ships ablaze,” Ebrahim Jabari, a senior adviser to the Guards commander-in-chief, ⁠said in remarks carried by state media.

In addition to three other tankers hit in the Gulf of Oman, the U.S.flagged oil tanker STENA IMPERATIVE suffered at least two direct hits from a suspected Iranian projectile while in the Port of Bahrain on Monday, a maritime security official confirmed to The War Zone.



It is unclear at the moment if the ship was struck by a missile or a drone, the official added.

The issue with this is that their production facilities will also come under attacks/pressure.

Hope they have planned for such eventualities to keep their rate of harassing fire consistent and for a long time. Iran should start peeling back their attacks on the Gulf and focus on Israel.

They need to saturate the Israeli defenses. Currently, their expenditure on the GCC strikes is eating into what they could put on Israel.

This is specially relevant.
Michael also suggested It.
So China is helping.
