Ayatollah Khamenei vows to stand his ground as Iran unrest intensifies

[bk19xsa]

The next 24–48 hours could be very crucial for the Middle East.

India and Australia have asked their citizens to leave Iran immediately, while Russia is evacuating its citizens from Israel and has closed its embassy there.The US has carried out a massive military deployment in the Middle East – platforms like P8, Poseidon, MQ-9 Reaper drones and C-17 Globemaster aircraft have been deployed at US air bases in the region.

Some unverified sources also claim that the Delta Force, which was involved in capturing Maduro, has been stationed on the Iraq border.These developments are not normal and indicate that in the next 24–48 hours we may see a coordinated US–Israel–led strike on Iran.

If that happens, Russia may also enter the conflict, as US–Russia tensions are already very high.Recently, the US seized a sanctioned Russian oil tanker, after which Russia has threatened the US with a possible naval missile attack.

Therefore, the coming 24-48 hours are very important.

ALERT | IRAN–PAKISTAN BORDER! Something unusual is happening quietly along the Iran–Pakistan frontier. Over the last 12 hours, several US aerial refueling tankers (KC-135 & KC-10) have been circling deep inside Pakistani airspace, while a US RC-135 Rivet Joint spy aircraft flew long surveillance tracks parallel to Iran’s most sensitive routes.

This isn’t normal training traffic. Tankers don’t loiter unless combat or long-range missions are being supported. Rivet Joint aircraft don’t hug borders unless they’re listening, mapping, and collecting electronic signals.

The big question: Is this a live mapping of Iran’s nuclear logistics, military movements, and command networks

The Balochistan corridor may now be a quiet backdoor, perfect terrain for covert access, plausible deniability, and shadow movement.

This looks less like routine surveillance and more like preparation. No announcements. No headlines. Just pieces being moved silently

I'll be surprised if US goes ahead with this operation so explicitly unless they have deemed it the right time to give it the green light.

The CIA/Mossad and other intelligence agencies working on this are usually quite measured and calculative and will only do this if some important objectives are met or already have been.

Oh well, even best of intelligence gets surpassed only by arrogance.

Tehran has warned neighbours hosting U.S. troops that it would hit American bases if Washington strikes, a senior Iranian official told Reuters on Wednesday, as Iran seeks to deter Donald Trump's threats to intervene on behalf of protesters

Three diplomats said some personnel had been advised to leave the main U.S. air base in the region, although there were no immediate signs of a large-scale evacuation of troops as took place in the hours before an Iranian missile attack last year.

Trump has repeatedly threatened to intervene in support of protesters in Iran, where a rights group said 2,600 people have been killed in a crackdown on one of the biggest ever waves of protest against clerical rule.

According to an Israeli assessment, Trump has decided to intervene, although the scope and timing of this action remains unclear, an Israeli official said.

The three diplomats told Reuters that some personnel had been advised to leave the U.S. military's Al Udeid Air Base in Qatar by Wednesday evening.

One of the diplomats described the move as a "posture change" rather than an "ordered evacuation". There was no sign of a large-scale movement of troops off the base to a nearby soccer stadium and shopping mall, as took place last year in the hours before Iran targeted the base with missiles in retaliation for U.S. airstrikes on Iranian nuclear targets.

The U.S. embassy in Doha had no immediate comment and Qatar's foreign ministry did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
Iranian authorities have accused the United States and Israel of fomenting the unrest, carried out by people it calls terrorists.

IRAN ASKS REGIONAL STATES TO PREVENT A U.S. ATTACK
Trump has been openly threatening to intervene in Iran for days, though without giving specifics.

In an interview with CBS News on Tuesday, Trump vowed "very strong action" if Iran executes protesters. "If they hang them, you're going to see some things," he said. He also urged Iranians on Tuesday to keep protesting and take over institutions, declaring "help is on the way".

The Iranian official, a senior figure speaking on condition of anonymity, said Tehran had asked U.S. allies in the region to "prevent Washington from attacking Iran".

Chinese policymakers’ push to diversify beyond the U.S. paid off as exports to non-U.S. markets boomed.

"Tehran has told regional countries, from Saudi Arabia and UAE to Turkey, that U.S. bases in those countries will be attacked" if the U.S. targets Iran, the official said.

The official added that direct contacts between Iran's Foreign Minister Abbas Araqchi and U.S. Special Envoy Steve Witkoff had been suspended.
The United States has forces across the region including the forward headquarters of its Central Command at Al Udeid in Qatar and the headquarters of the U.S. Navy's Fifth Fleet in Bahrain.

WESTERN OFFICIAL: CRACKDOWN HAS RESTORED SOME CALM

The flow of information from inside Iran has been hampered by an internet blackout.

U.S.-based HRANA rights group said it had so far verified the deaths of 2,403 protesters and 147 government-affiliated individuals. An Iranian official told Reuters on Tuesday that about 2,000 people had been killed.

You realize that Indian government has great relationship with Iran regime right? It has been that way under Congress or BJP.

In fact same with Isarael-Palestine, India is diverse country, we saw a lot of protests for Gaza and a lot of support for Israel as well. That’s how a diverse democracy works.

It’s not to be confused with government policy.

Funny you talk about “Hindutva” government, wait till your fuse gets blown away when USA sends troops to Iran, wanna take a guess who will be supporting that?

Friendship and loyalty to their master Israel are two different things

 

[Local.Dada]

Don't let your fuse get blown here so take control of your Hindudva fanatic emotions. I do recall Iran sending ballistic missles and making a pancake out of that genocidal terrorist state capital. Iran is not Palestine and any misadventure to Iran ll be retaliated brutally.

A democracy where you elect a known charged criminal Gujrat butcher terorrist as a PM? and where your government officials constantly give statements on rolling over minorities with bulldozer and all the human rights decades long abuse in IOK where hundreds of thousands have been massacred for their rights?

And are you referring to a democracy where they constantly tweet about being in bed with Terorirst state of Israel... Doesn't Modi constantly go on about "our Fraands in ijraeli fighting terrorism.. " when their terorrist leaders are actually wanted by International Criminal Court for genocide and war crimes.

Spare us the cheering for democracies killing millions and destroying nations. And democratic countries kneeling to war mongering genocidal regime democracies is not a democracy, but a loyal leashed pet which supports barbarism, occupation, illegal invasions, resources theft etc etc

Too many useless words and rhetoric. As I said remove words like Hindutva, Zionist, RSS, Modi or offensive slurs you guys have 0 articulation or skills.

Islamic country Iran is getting screwed with protests and aggression by USA, many Islamic countries are keeping silent due to sectarian conflict with Iran, Pak potentially will provide the territory if America launches an attack and all you can think of is abba dabba and spend usless time repeating the same thing.

Stay away from topics out of your depth.

 

[globetrotter]

I thought Iran is a economically strong nation at par with Saudi Arabia, Qatar.... but Iran's currency collapsed means another Muslim nations on the verge of bankruptcy.

This is why I said it before no where in the world no new Muslim nation formed. World should not support it

Islamic countries have been getting screwed since WW1, nothing new.

Except UAE, no other country in the region want Iran to be bombed.

Hindutva, Zionist, RSS and Modi has political implication in the region as a geopolitics, so no need to get bent out of shape for highlighting as such.

Check the history, any Muslim nation acted against Quran and favored barbaric against its citizen and other religion had faced trouble and bankruptcy.... Iraq, Syria, Libya, Pakistan, Bangladesh now iran

by giving bases to USA? Yeah right? Stick to the usual rhetoric.

Erfan Soltani, 26, is first to face death penalty for joining anti-regime demonstrations.

Desperate relatives of condemned Iranian plead with Trump to intervene

Erfan Soltani, 26, believed to be the first protester in the latest Iranian uprising to be given the death sentence, is expected to be hanged today.

www.dailymail.co.uk

Don’t these idiot mullahs realise that executing protesters will make the situation worse. The guy is a shopkeeper probably protesting about the inflation. Make an example of those who have committed violence but not ordinary protesters. Heavy handedness never works. It’s one of the reasons Iran is in a mess in the first place.

I wonder how long that "great relationship" will last if the Indian govt support reflects the bloothirsty support for israel which it's citizens show on social media sites like this one? I doubt the Iranians really believe any relationship with India is genuine if the posts on PP are anything to go by.

What someone says on SM doesn’t really matter in the larger context or determine foregin/ economic policy. Indian govt voted in favor of Palestine on many occasions including under the current govt. is that how you think things work? Social media emotions? Well that explains a lot.

International relations are never genuine. There are no permanent friends or enemies.

India will support whoever comes to power in Iran. It is not India's business to root for or against one there.

Because Iran already knows Asim Munir is already in the good books of Trump. Pakistan even nominated Trump for Nobel Peace prize. If a war breaks out, USA will surely use Pak airbases to launch their attack. The same old story like what happened in Afghanistan. Pay Pakistan and they will do whatever a super power asks.

 

[Champ_Pal]

China is awfully quiet on this Iran situation. China is supposed to be Iran's friend. Clearly shows China is no where near US when it comes to military strength. China can only bully its weak neighbors.

One thing is clear. China will never take Taiwan as long as US remains as the only super power.

 

[Patriot]

Why on earth would the US use Pakistani airbases to attack Iran when they already have existing bases in Qatar, UAE, Kuwait as well as the headquarters of their entire 5th naval fleet in Bahrain, all a short distance away just across the narrow Persian Gulf? The cost and other practicalities don’t make it feasible to use Pakistan as no US equipment is available there and would have to be first transported.

Stop making dumb hints at Pakistan being used to attack Iran.

Not exactly. Pakistan’s strong ties with Saudi Arabia, USA and other Arab countries automatically positions it against Iran’s geopolitical agenda, lets not forget Iran is hated for being a Shia country, only close ties they have ever had are with lebanon and syria that too during bashar al assad time. its only been recent that pakistani's have been bigging up iran for their Palestinian stance when the rest of Arab world failed to do so.

Speaking from my geopolitical perspective, this won't bode well for Pakistan...this will crack up Pak-China ties, engulf Pakistan with hostile neighbors all around besides a sulking China

Pakistan is caught in the middle, so staying neutral is the safest option. On one side it has Saudi Arabia, the USA, and several Arab states, and on the other side it has China and Iran.

They are evacuating personnel from some of these bases, notably Qatar, based on some sources.

I don’t think Pakistan will do that, it sounds like nothing more than rumours. Imran Riaz, Shahbaz Gill, and other anti-Pakistan voices were saying the same thing during the Iran–Israel clash, and nothing of that sort happened then either.

Your govt should be empathizing and talking to Iran regime, not to Qatar at this time as a direct neighbor. Your post itself answered why Qatar is significant.

It’s funny that most people (not you, I think you are one of the sane ones) throw any foolish conspiracy like Hindutva+ Zionist and throw dumb statements like Muslims have been “genocided” in India etc but don’t look around and have basic awareness to see what’s happening next to you.

I refuse to believe it’s your field Marshalls expertise in minerals that impressed uncle Donald. On top of that I also think Trump will cash out his cards soon and what other better situation. It looks pretty plausible and more logical than all the arguments I am hearing above . Stop playing naive

The news is reporting that “some” personnel is being evacuated from Qatar. I would imagine non-combatants are. This gives rise to the question why and one reason could be because they might launch from Qatar. However, this is all speculation and we won’t know the details until the US actually does something. But if it was going to be using Pakistan, we would already know due to equipment transport and movement, which is difficult to hide. Also, if the attack is imminent as Trump suggests it is, then Pakistan is not a feasible launch pad due to the time it will take in establishing presence there.
