Attack on Iranian Gas field - Update

Guardian: Reports in its 12.59pm post the following, " US-Israeli strikes hit Iranian gas facility in Bushehr province - reports  "

Let's Get Real:

This is an escalation of the US - Iran War, US and Israel are going for the throat of Iran, also to the Countries that use the gas, this blog suggested that the UK and Europeans would pay price for snubbing Trump on the Strait of Hormuz and therefore an escalation, it is reported on BBC News that Iran has halted the Gas supply to Iraq.  Trump and Israel have to win in Iran.


Israel kills Iranian Intelligence Minister - Update

Sky News: Reports in its 10.19am post the following, " Iranian intelligence minister killed, Israel says "

Let's Get Real:

Thus Israel is keeping up the tempo, this is their chance to set the board for the Middle East for decades, and also to remove threats to Israel.  The Israeli armed forces should use this chance, while Trump is on board, POTUS is so erratic, he might declare victory tomorrow, with Tehran Regime still in place, and their access to its nuclear stockpile, so Israel should use this time wisley, eliminate who they must and be ready for a new Middle East at some point.

Ukraine will suffer because of Iran War - Update

BBC News: Reports the following " Ukraine faces missile shortage due to Middle East war, says  Zelensky  "

Let's Get Real:

The war in the Ukraine is the main war, it could lead to WW3 if it develops or if Russia wins.  The Europeans might pay a price for not supporting Trump over the Iran War.  The US might decided that Europe should carry the military load for the Ukraine as its attention and interest are in Iran.  There will be a price that the UK and Europe will pay for snubbing Trump over Iran and the Strait of Hormuz, can they carry the Ukraine and NATO?

The Future of the Strait of Hormuz- Update

Guardian:  Reports in its 7.35pm post the following, " Iranian official warns situation in strait of Hormuz 'won't return to its pre-war status'  " 

Let's Get Real:

This is an open threat from Tehran Regime, they know they have the West by the throat, if the Regime Survives they want to make sure there is not another attack from Trump and the US.  Thus an open THREAT to the West, deal with the Islamic Republic or get no oil and another oil crisis.

Israeli success in bombing Iran - Update

Sky News:  Reports in its 9.43am post the following " Iran's security chief killed in strike overnight, Israel says ..... Ali ⁠Larijani was killed in an overnight Israeli strike.

Let's Get Real:

Israel has been lucky with its kills of the Leadership in Iran, the Supreme Leader and hid son ( subjective analysts), and now Iran's security chief and others, it must keep it up, the EVIL REGIME has to be removed without the use of ground troops.  At some point the Tehran will have to surrender, they won't have any leaders left.

US does not need NATO for Iran War - Update

BBC News: Reports in its 3.45pm post the following?  "  WE DON'T NEED THE HELP OF ANYONE!': Trump criticises Nato allies 

Let's Get Real:

The NATO countries will pay  a price for this and importantly so will the Ukraine.  The Labour Government should remember Suez crisis of 1956, when President Eisenhower, Ike, pulled the carpet from under the UK,France and Israel after they invaded the Suez Canal, if Ike can do it, Trump can do it over Ukraine, and the whole of Europe will have to carry the load for the Ukraine.  It should be noted that Ike regretted move but he was in a Election for a 2nd term at the time.

Let's Get Real:

It will be interesting to see if European Nations will put their Navies at risk.  Starmer will need the US for the Ukraine, Kyiv needs US security guarantees with its fight with Russia, does Europe want to carry the whole load, Trump still has 3 years in office,  NATO needs the US.
