Operation Epic Fury Day 21 - Daily Geolocations Further footage emerges of strikes against naval assets across Iran over the past week, with detailed resolution thanks to @MT_Anderson's work of Bandar Abbas and Qeshm's naval port being released. Strikes against regime oppression centres continue, with many more uncovered. Iran's lashing out is very much backfiring on itself however, as their capabilities are now running at a very reduced level. Listening to the media though you'd think Iran are giving as much as they are getting, which is very much not the case. Please note that getting information out is still VERY difficult, and even US strikes that they do release often happened over a week ago, such was the case with Karaj Missile Production plant! Geolocations follow:

👀🇷🇺🇺🇸 The FBI is monitoring cyberattacks by hackers linked to Russian special services on the accounts of American officials, primarily in Signal. According to the FBI report, the campaign has already resulted in access to thousands of accounts.

Iran’s IRGC has issued an urgent warning to residents of Ras Al Khaimah in the UAE to evacuate via designated routes, saying the city may be targeted due to involvement in actions against Iranian islands

@ABC Sounds like something Israel should coordinate and pursue. They want to control the region right? Let this be their proof of concept, let’s see if they can do something themselves. They’re the ones who pushed for this in the first place…

President Trump told reporters that "it would be nice" if other countries assisted with military operations to clear the Strait of Hormuz, saying, "You need a lot of help in the sense that you need ships." abcnews.visitlink.me/_KJUxi

BREAKING: There is now very high-resolution and clear footage showing the latest version of the Khorramshahr missile—the Khorramshahr-4 intermediate-range ballistic missile of the IRGC Aerospace Force—being launched at Israel. Most of these are carrying cluster munitions and are being used to target civilians in cities. #OperationEpicFury #OperationLionsRoar

@Worldsource24 Debris from an interception or from a released booster. That is not the warhead

Footage showing an Iranian missile impacting the ground earlier this evening.

💢 Iran struck major energy infrastructure across the Gulf on Wednesday, Thursday in retaliation for U.S.-Israeli strikes on South Pars gas field, hitting sites tied to global oil and gas supply. Here’s a breakdown: 🔸Qatar — Ras Laffan LNG hub: The world’s largest natural gas export facility was hit, with at least one missile penetrating defenses and causing “extensive damage” and fires. A second wave of strikes Thursday caused further damage, QatarEnergy said. By Thursday morning, Qatar’s Interior Ministry said the fires had been extinguished. 🔸UAE — Habshan gas facility & Bab field: Iran targeted Habshan, a key processing hub that handles much of Abu Dhabi’s onshore gas output, and the nearby Bab oil fields, one of the UAE’s largest production areas. While missiles were intercepted, debris sparked fires and forced a shutdown at Habshan. The UAE called it a “dangerous escalation” threatening global energy security. 🔸Saudi Arabia — Riyadh refineries: Ballistic missiles targeted facilities supplying the capital’s fuel market, with capacity of about 130,000 barrels per day, according to the Wall Street Journal. Air defenses, Saudi Arabia claims, intercepted the strikes, and debris caused limited damage. But videos showed massive fires at the site. 🎥 VIDEO: Saudi Foreign Minister Prince Faisal bin Farhan confirmed two refineries were “attacked,” while not clarifying the extent of damage. Unconfirmed reports online also indicate fires near Yanbu, a key Red Sea oil refining and export hub that Saudi Arabia has been ramping up exports from to bypass the Strait of Hormuz.

BREAKING: In what appears to be a highly questionable and unnecessary move, the Israeli Air Force has destroyed five Iranian Navy warships in the Caspian Sea. These vessels were tasked with protecting Iran’s territorial waters against potential future threats, including from Russia. This raises serious questions about Israel’s strategic intentions. Rather than supporting meaningful change in Iran, such actions risk degrading the country’s defensive capabilities while leaving the current regime intact. Claims of supporting the Iranian people and pursuing regime change appear increasingly inconsistent with actions that weaken national military assets without targeting the regime’s core power structures. #OperationLionsRoar #OperationEpicFury

Oil is not the only thing being moved through the straight. It’s no even close to the most consequential product being “produced” and moved in the gulf. Helium is the bigger concern across the board, especially for the U.S. and western countries. The price of oil in the U.S. has stayed relatively low due to “artificial” price controlling. Time will tell the larger picture. Internal U.S. pricing is “okay” outside the U.S. is where there’s problems. Which is how we run all of our shit all over the world. It’s still a problem even if you view it as hurting out “enemies” more than us

Would Seizing Kharg Island End the War? Not Even Close A growing argument suggests that capturing Iran’s Kharg Island—the terminal through which roughly 90% of its oil exports flow—could bring the conflict to a swift end. It’s an appealing idea. It’s also dangerously simplistic. This view reflects a narrow, economic reading of the war while overlooking how Iran itself is likely to interpret and respond to such a move. First, the operation itself would not be easy. Kharg Island is defended, and even if seized, holding it would be an ongoing challenge. Iranian forces would almost certainly mount repeated attacks, turning the island into a contested and costly outpost rather than a decisive asset. Second, there is little reason to believe Iran would end the war after losing such a strategic site. On the contrary, the loss of territory would likely harden its resolve. Tehran has historically absorbed significant blows without capitulating—and there is no indication that this case would be different. Third, control of Kharg would not neutralize Iran’s most important lever: its ability to disrupt the Strait of Hormuz. Even without direct control over key nodes, Iran retains asymmetric tools that can threaten maritime traffic and global energy flows. Fourth, the likely Iranian response would not be passive. Instead, Tehran could escalate horizontally targeting energy infrastructure across the Gulf. Such a response would immediately drive oil prices upward and expand the conflict regionally. Finally, while Kharg is central, it is not Iran’s only option. Alternative, more limited export routes exist. They are less efficient and more vulnerable—but they are sufficient to prevent total economic paralysis. The idea that there is a “silver bullet” solution to this conflict reflects a recurring misunderstanding of Iran as a system—its resilience, its strategic culture, and its tolerance for prolonged confrontation. Seizing Kharg Island may be operationally feasible for the United States. But strategically, it is far more likely to complicate the war, intensify Iranian responses, and push any resolution further out of reach. #iran

That has nothing to do with what you said… lifting of sanctions “allowed” Russian tankers to go to India.. the tankers were destined to China and were rerouted to India.. has absolutely nothing with Indian tankers being stopped and told by the U.S. navy to go to India instead of China

@CIVINTL @citrinowicz x.com/tushar15/statu…

@JpbLiberty @citrinowicz Provide some sourcing and information for it. I can’t find anything and I do mean anything referring to what you’re talking about

@CIVINTL @citrinowicz Not those ones. The ones that were turned around before going through Malaca Straits. Ships carrying Iranian oil are under sanction & crews can be prosecuted. US has already interdicted in Indian Ocean. Captains do what USN tells them to.

@JpbLiberty @citrinowicz This is also not true.. the reason those tankers went to India is because they were Indian flagged tankers… it had nothing to do with US naval power sending them there… 😂 business-standard.com/india-news/isr… energy.economictimes.indiatimes.com/news/oil-and-g…

@CIVINTL @citrinowicz Iran’s oil that was shipping to China has now been redirected to India by US power. In war merchant ships do what those with naval power tell them to do.

@JpbLiberty @citrinowicz

@CIVINTL @citrinowicz All their pipes run there. There is no ‘elsewhere’.

This is not true Iran’s oil assets are spread out mostly along its Gulf coastline. Oil fields are concentrated in Iran’s northern region but stretch towards its interior. Multiple pipeline networks connect the various fields to refineries and output terminals. The most significant facilities are the Abadan refinery, located on the coast along the border with Iraq, the Kharg Island terminal in the center of Iran’s Gulf coastline, and the Bandar Abbas refinery and terminal, both located at the Strait of Hormuz. Of these, Kharg Island and the Bandar Abbas terminal are key to disabling Iran’s oil export industry. atlanticcouncil.org/blogs/energyso…
