Dear followers, Due to the sensitivity of ongoing events, I will shift from real-time updates on the #IranWar to deeper analytical commentary on major developments. Thank you for your continued support. @PacGeopolitics

This is day 27 of the war, and the #IRGC announced the execution of wave 83 of Operation True Promise 4. What was supposed to be a decapitation strike causing a regime operation to last 3 days is now far beyond expectations. #Trump is baffled that the war he started will not end

The fight in southern Lebanon with #Hezbollah, which #Israel said had been bombed backwards, is continuing fiercely with full force. There is a Merkava massacre going on. Hezbollah is reportedly destroying nearly 100 tanks, including 21 tanks in the last 24 hours alone.

Why would the Trump delay strikes on Iranian energy plants by another 10 days, to an April 6 deadline? #Iran has warned that hotels in the Middle East hosting US forces could be considered “legitimate” targets. The pause may allow time to reposition military personnel. #IranWar

The senior spokesman for Iran’s Armed Forces says, asserting that the American military structure in West Asia has "collapsed in the shortest possible time." #IranWar‌

Lavrov: The difference between Ukraine and Iran is that Tehran adhered to its international commitments while Kyiv reneged on everything it could possibly violate. #IranWar‌ #UkraineWar

#Trump claimed that Iran begged him to delay the strike on energy plan for another 10 days as talks are ongoing?? #Iran says all Trump rhetoric are lies just to steady the market swing. The lame media is not telling the truth either of American and Israeli loses. #IranWar‌

Key developments in the Middle East conflict: 1) #Trump extends energy plant strike deadline on Iran to 6 April. 2) Israel’s Chief of Staff warns of military strain. 3) Iranian missiles in free-fall over Israel while A2/AD over #Iran strengthening. #IranWar‌

From 48 hours, to 5 days and now to 10 days, #Trump extends time to strike Iranian energy plants due to ongoing "talks". Funny but real, #Iran is setting a powerful existential deterrence. #IranWar‌

'HEZBOLLAH WON' — RAGING ISRAEL MAYOR BREAKS NETANYAHU'S INFO BLOCKADE WITH INSANE REVELATION: * '1st time city in country simply DISAPPEARS' * 2/3 of residents already FLED * 'If fix roads 8am by 10am new crater' * 'No one restoring ANYTHING' * 'NO PROTECTION AT ALL'

Even though the commander of the Iranian Navy was killed today at Bandar Abbas, the Strait of Hormuz will not be opened to the US–Israel. It only brings in the next hard-core commander to take charge. US boots on the ground would be fatal. #IranWar‌ #StraitOfHormuz

The demands put forward by #Trump to #Iran are not American, they are Netanyahu's demands. What war is America really fighting? #IranWar‌

WORLD TRADE ORGANIZATION DIRECTOR GENERAL: "THE WORLD ORDER AND MULTILATERAL SYSTEM WE USED TO KNOW HAS IRREVOCABLY CHANGED. WE WILL NOT GET IT BACK"

How do you “open” the Strait of Hormuz when it has already remained open before and during the war? The goalposts of this war will continue to shift as the war of attrition becomes more devastating in the days to come. #IranWar

The way #Iran and #Hezbollah are fighting suggests long-term preparation for a decisive confrontation. This creates a strategic dilemma #Israel may have underestimated. By contrast, the #Houthis appear to have prepared mainly for the Gaza front, and little beyond that. #IranWar

The hawkish Lindsey Graham was among those calling for Iran to be obliterated and for immediate regime change. He should now be on the media discussing a war exit strategy. Otherwise, the comfort of the situation room is beginning to look increasingly stressed. #IranWar

We were made to believe the following American war machines were untouchable: Aircraft carriers Fighter jets (F-16, F-18, F-35, drones) US bases US radars CIA/Mossad intelligence Bunker busters Media narratives The #IranWar has shattered that perception of supremacy.

If #Israel at the UNSC is now speaking about humanity, then #Iran has finally made them sound human. When the world was witnessing gruesome images of Gazan men, women, and children being torn apart, it felt like we were speaking to idols. Glad they are now talking like humans.

Australia joined Fiji to abstain on the UNGA resolution on slavery reparations, which only highlights the history of the girmitya and black birding, and the reluctance to address the inter-generational human costs of colonial slavery

Just walked out of a House Armed Services briefing on Iran. Let me repeat: I will not support troops on the ground in Iran, even more so after this briefing.

Iran has taken the gloves off. Trump gave Iran a 5-day extension on bombing their power plants. Netanyahu didn’t get the memo, last night he attacked 2 of Iran’s power facilities. Now, Kuwait is in total darkness. ISREAL lost their Haifa power plant and oil storage facilities. In less than a month, Trump not only lost the war but also all the military bases, radars, ships, planes, the Strait of Hormuz, NATO allies, GGC partners, Americans’ real estate investments in Dubai, US banks, data centers, and oil companies’ assets, as well as America’s trust, prestige, reputation, status and global dominance with the Petrodollar. We committed war crimes killing 160 elementary-aged school girls. Then we fired a second Tomahawk missile at the school when parents and teachers responded to help. We lost our ability to sell US bonds. We shown that we can’t protect the Gulf States so, they will probably divest from US IT companies who were helping us in the AI race with China. We removed the sanctions on Russia and Iran. Russia is punishing Europe with exorbitant prices. We’ve caused a historic global energy crisis and possibly a worldwide recession. But Netanyahu has lost THE STATE OF ISRAEL. It is quickly becoming uninhabitable. Those leaving will never return. No water, sewer, power, jobs, bunkers, shelters, missile defense systems, airport, fuel, or food. Bibi has warrants in over 120 countries for war crimes for his attempted genocide in GAZA. It’s amazing how fast the world has turned upside down.
