The war pitting the US and Israel against Iran has reached its 21st day. The Foreign Ministries of Russia and China have issued a blunt ultimatum to Washington and Tel Aviv, and a clear message to the West: "End your adventure in Iran, which is failing." Furthermore, the Chinese Foreign Ministry expressed shock over Israeli statements authorizing the IDF to assassinate any Iranian official without additional permission.
Simultaneously, US President Donald Trump claimed he could "finish" Iran in "two seconds," a heavy implication regarding the use of nuclear weapons. This raises a critical question: if, as the West claims, 18,000 missiles have been fired at Iran and the country is dismantled, why is President Trump resorting to "two-second" threats? It is increasingly clear that the American and Israeli military operation is faltering, contrary to Western propaganda. It has emerged that Trump fired Vice Admiral Kacher for warning that the mission would fail. Despite Trump’s claims that he will not send Marines, the USS Boxer, an amphibious assault ship, is reportedly capable of transporting 2,500 commandos to the region. Meanwhile, Iranians have achieved the unthinkable: they are the first country to shoot down an F-35—with rumors of a second hit—while nearly leveling the secret Nevatim military base in Israel.
Russian Foreign Ministry: US and Israel must abandon military adventure against Iran
The Russian Foreign Ministry issued a powerful statement calling on the US and Israel to immediately cease their military operations against Iran. Russia emphasized that this should be the first step toward creating conditions for peaceful coexistence in the Persian Gulf region. "We emphasize that the first step on this path must be the immediate abandonment by the US and Israel of their military adventure," the ministry stated. Russia remains a firm supporter of good neighborliness and security between friendly Arab nations and Iran. This statement comes amid the escalation that began on February 28, involving massive strikes and an Iranian blockade of the Strait of Hormuz.
China: Shocked by Netanyahu’s ‘assassination plans’
China declared it is "shocked" by reports that Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu has authorized the IDF to kill any Iranian official without further clearance. "The assassination of Iranian leaders and attacks on civilian targets are by no means acceptable," a spokesperson for the Chinese Foreign Ministry stated.
Trump: US could end military operation against Iran in two seconds
US President Trump stated that it would be possible to terminate the military operation against Iran "in two seconds," implying the use of nuclear weapons. He made this statement during a joint press conference with the Prime Minister of Japan, a country the US reminded observers it had targeted with two atomic bombs. According to the American President, the US refrains from such action only due to the prudence of its leadership. He further claimed that in Iran, "everything that could be destroyed has been destroyed." Trump previously stated he did not intend to send troops for a ground operation, though he noted that if he did, he would not reveal it.
NBC: US accelerates deployment of 2,200 Marines to Middle East via USS Boxer
The US military is accelerating deployment plans to the Middle East due to the operation against Iran, according to NBC. "The United States is speeding up the deployment of thousands of additional sailors and Marines to the Middle East." According to the network, 2,200 Marines will depart for the region from San Diego in the coming days, ahead of schedule. Reportedly, the troops will deploy on the USS Boxer, an amphibious assault ship that, alongside two other vessels, could host several thousand personnel.
Shock revelation: Trump fired Vice Admiral Kacher over failure warnings
US intelligence officials and the Director of the Joint Staff warned the administration that the military campaign in Iran was doomed to failure, according to the outlet Steigan. "US intelligence prepared a classified assessment shortly before the start of US and Israeli operations against Iran. They concluded that even a large-scale military attack was unlikely to topple the Islamic Republic or its state system. However, for some reason, this report was ignored," Steigan claims. The outlet further reports that the White House ignored senior military hierarchy. "Just two days before the war began, Trump fired Vice Admiral Frederick William Kacher, who led the Joint Staff. Kacher reportedly tried to dissuade Trump from attacking Iran due to risks, ammunition shortages, and potential casualties. As the top operational officer, Kacher was best positioned to provide the President with much-needed perspective."
IRGC: Carriers Gerald R. Ford and Abraham Lincoln 'fled' – Why do you fear the Strait of Hormuz?
The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps issued a major announcement regarding the USS Gerald R. Ford. The sudden departure of the US aircraft carrier from the battlefield and the failure to provide support to "exhausted and defeated" American soldiers in West Asia "proved the futility of the material power of the arrogant." The mission of this ship, accompanied by extensive Western propaganda, and its questionable departure at the height of the war, cannot hide the "desperate and humiliating" state of the warmongers. "What a military giant! It faces a crisis when a fire breaks out in its laundry room and is forced to flee." The ship's course change toward a US base to avoid the Bab al-Mandab Strait has raised global questions: Why would a $13 billion warship fear speedboats worth a few thousand dollars? A similar precarious situation has arisen for the USS Abraham Lincoln in the Indian Ocean. The IRGC challenged the "lying American president" to order his ships into the Sea of Oman and the Red Sea, stating: "The soldiers of Islam are waiting, impatient to 'caress' the American ship deep in the battlefield... The fate of Saddam Hussein awaits Trump and the criminal Netanyahu."
Iranians dismantle Israel with six missile types: Qadr, Khorramshahr, and Zulfiqar
Using six types of missiles—Qadr, Khorramshahr, Khyber-Shakan, Qiyam, and Zulfiqar—as well as destructive drones, the Iranians are striking Israel. In a statement, the IRGC emphasized that the "criminal cabinet of the Zionist regime," in an attempt to escape internal crises and the Epstein scandals, has entered a "already defeated and cowardly war" with Iran, creating miserable conditions in shelters and a life of constant sirens for residents.
Iranian missiles rain down on secret Nevatim base; 'terrible' destruction reported
Iran’s latest attack on the strategic Nevatim military base has highlighted the regime's inability to defend against such strikes. Observers ask: How can a regime that cannot protect its strategic military base from Iranian missiles protect its other interests?
