Like a movie, but real! Who was the agent on the scene who survived the attack and then documented it?
Israeli sources have revealed that a Mossad agent documented the body of Iranian leader Ali Khamenei at the scene and sent the footage directly to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. Sources emphasized that the documentation was not obtained through social media or media channels, but was sent directly by the agent to Prime Minister Netanyahu.
🇺🇸🇮🇱 Ex-CIA officer John Kiriakou says there's about 10,000 documents of JFK's assassination that Trump will never release because every single one points directly at Israel.
🇹🇷🇺🇦 Ukraine in their terror mission have struck a Turkish-owned oil tanker in the Black Sea, 15 miles from the Bosphorus.
The tanker was transporting oil from Russia to Istanbul before coming under attack. A distress call was sent out by the vessel. All 27 crew members are Turkish nationals.
Bet the Turks are really happy now, allowing the Ukrainians to operate drones in their waters.
Russia has begun delivering attack drones and support supplies to Iran in a phased effort to bolster Tehran’s war capabilities, according to Western intelligence cited by the Financial Times.
— Seize or blockade Kharg Island (Iran’s main oil export hub). — Invade or take control of Larak Island (key to controlling the Strait of Hormuz). — Capture Abu Musa and nearby islands (a strategic gateway to the strait). — Blockade or seize Iranian oil tankers in the region. — Launch massive airstrikes on nuclear/energy facilities. — (More extreme option) Conduct ground operations inside Iran to seize nuclear materials.
TRUMP HAS 3 OPTIONS LEFT IN THE IRAN WAR. ALL 3 ARE CATASTROPHIC.
After 4 weeks of strikes, Iran just said to every American soldier:
"Come closer."
They've trained 20 years for this.
⚠️ OPTION 1: SEND GROUND TROOPS → 4,500 Marines mobilizing now → Iran has "designated kill zones" mapped for 20+ years → IRGC's stated goal: CAPTURE US soldiers alive for leverage → 13 US bases already uninhabitable
⚠️ OPTION 2: KEEP BOMBING → Week 4. Iran still counterattacking. → Oil above $100/barrel. Stocks down 4 weeks straight. → Iran decentralized governance BEFORE the war — bombing hits nothing critical → NATO allies refusing to join
⚠️ OPTION 3: NEGOTIATE → Iran rejected the US 15-point peace proposal → White House says Iran "defeated" — Iran just made 13 bases uninhabitable → Any deal Iran accepts = nuclear program survives → Walking back = 4 weeks of war for nothing
Iran just warned: if the US launches a ground attack, they could shut down key oil routes - Bab al-Mandab and the Strait of Hormuz.
Bab al-Mandab connects the Red Sea to global shipping lanes. Around 12% of global oil flows through it.
You’re looking at ~25 million barrels per day at risk. That’s nearly 25% of global supply. If this escalates, oil spikes fast. Shipping gets disrupted. Inflation pressure comes back.
