Description: 

Reports say Washington is warning its vassal states in the Persian Gulf that an attack on Iran is coming from the U.S. and Israel, following next weeks Mid-Term U.S. Elections, and that it will be a “short, intense” round of war. This, as the U.S. sends a Patriot missile system to Israel, for a sorry attempt at protection from Iran’s retaliation.

Former U.S. Diplomat and Geopolitical Analyst, Jim Jatras, noted that even if the U.S. uses the ‘Mother of All Bombs’ or Israel carries out a nuclear strike, there is no indication that it will be enough to severely disable Iran’s military capabilities. And both the region and the global economy will be devastated by Iran’s retaliation.

Description:
Ukraine is being credited in the West for carrying out its largest drone attack yet, as the Russian Defense Ministry announced it shot down over 1,600 drones going into the final day of Russian parliamentary elections. Russia is now retaliating, carrying out new waves of strikes across Ukraine.

Former U.S. Diplomat and Geopolitical Analyst, Jim Jatras, noted that Russia needs to decide what its “end game” looks like in both Ukraine, and in its relationship with NATO. He also said that while Moscow may be trying to carry out this war slowly, a quick victory would be the biggest warning to Europe and the U.S. to LEAVE RUSSIA ALONE.

Description:
The U.S. continues its pivot AWAY from Asia, as the last U.S. aircraft carrier has left the Pacific, on its way to the Middle East, and as President Trump announced plans to “substantially reduce” U.S. involvement in joint military exercises with South Korea.

Carl Zha, a geopolitical analyst and Host of the Silk & Steel Podcast, noted that the U.S. war on Iran has exposed the myth that the U.S. would protect its vassal states around the world, and it has also reminded the world why China has reshaped its energy strategy with a focus on renewable, electric vehicles, building up its strategic petroleum reserves, etc.

 
China was prepared for this day to come, and it will survive this war. We can’t say the same for the U.S.

Description:
Iran’s IRGC reported that missile attacks on the Muwaffaq al Salti Air Base in Jordan destroyed three U.S. F-35 fighter jets, and damaged three others. They say the attack also killed several U.S. officers and technicians who were on site.

Of course, Central Command was quick to claim the reports were false, and U.S. air defenses shot down all incoming missiles. They did the same earlier this month before they admitted that Iranian attacks killed multiple U.S. soldiers, and left more than 100 injured. 

Veteran Lebanese Journalist Dr. Marwa Osman noted that we are entering “a catastrophic phase” of the war, as the Trump Admin’s frustration with the resilience of the Iranian people, pushes Iran to escalate its strategic response. The impact of this war is already being felt across the region and by the global economy, as the Axis of Resistance prepares for its next round of attacks…

Description:
Oil prices continue to rise for a second straight week, as President Trump vowed more strikes against Iran after at least two American soldiers were killed by retaliatory Iranian strikes on U.S. Military bases in Jordan. This, as U.S. strategic petroleum reserves hits their lowest levels since 1983.

Prof. Richard Wolff, an American Economist and founder of Democracy at Work, noted that while the Trump Admin has relied on the U.S. emergency reserves to steady the oil market thus far, time is running out and the U.S. economy is in a “VERY DANGEROUS” place, as the war against Iran continues, the Strait of Hormuz remains closed, and all signs point to further escalation…
