🚨 WAR IN THE GULF: US Launches Massive 3rd Wave of Airstrikes Against Iran
The Middle East is teetering on the edge of full-scale war. Early Sunday morning, the United States launched a massive, coordinated third wave of airstrikes against Iran, hammering over 140 military sites across the country's southern coast. Utilizing both carrier-based and land-based fighter jets, CENTCOM targeted missile launch sites, naval infrastructure, storage facilities, and deep-range radar stations in a direct bid to degrade the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps' (IRGC) maritime strike capabilities.
This brings the total number of American strikes to over 300 targets this week alone. The flashpoint? A Sierra Leone-flagged commercial tanker was aggressively fired upon and set ablaze by the IRGC for attempting to pass through the Strait of Hormuz without Tehran's permission. In response to the US retaliation, Iran has hit back by striking American bases in Kuwait and Jordan and claiming the downing of a US MQ-9 Reaper drone over the Persian Gulf.
As the IRGC declares the Strait of Hormuz—the world’s most critical oil chokepoint—"completely closed," the diplomatic clock is ticking. Intense mediation efforts led by Oman are underway in Muscat, trying to broker an emergency transit corridor before global oil markets fracture.
This military escalation unfolds under a shadow of dark intelligence. Newly shared Israeli intelligence reports expose a specific, active Iranian plot to assassinate President Donald Trump, drawing a furious response on Truth Social where Trump warned that 1,000 missiles are "locked and loaded" to completely decimate the regime if they move forward. Watch this video for a full strategic breakdown of the collapsing ceasefire, the structural targets hit by US jets, and what happens next.
