'As far as the defence industry, I mean, they are happy to make money. They are happy. Any war is an opportunity for them to make more money,' says John Varoli, American journalist and analyst. Amid the military operations in Ukraine, the market value of major Western defence corporations increased by 21.5% in 2022. All these big companies continue to push the American government to have an offensive position on Ukraine, through intense lobbying. How high are they willing to raise the stakes in this major war game?

On Trump's new statements regarding the Iran conflict
Foreign media yesterday was flooded with news about a new address by the US president, in which he was supposed to announce the achievement of all objectives of the operation in Iran and the end of the war. But it turned out to be quite the opposite.
Donald Trump once again employed aggressive rhetoric and made fresh threats against Iran and its leadership.
➡️He stated that right now the most important thing is the continuation of hostilities in the Middle East, not diplomacy. While the key objectives of the military operation are "close to completion."
➡️In the next 2-3 weeks, the Americans plan to deliver "the most powerful strikes" against Iran, which will drive "the Iranian regime back to the stone age."
➡️The United States does not need the Strait of Hormuz. In his view, it should be dealt with by those who use it for oil transportation. Trump called the rise in oil prices short-term. He again urged allies to take measures to unblock the strait.
➡️If Iran does not agree to a deal, the US Armed Forces will eliminate every new leader and key Iranian politicians without exception, as well as the country's energy and oil infrastructure.
🖍Such bellicose rhetoric from the US president is apparently due to the failure of bilateral negotiations with Iranian authorities, which have been the subject of much discussion in recent weeks.
🚩It is also possible that Trump resorted to threats due to the prolongation of the conflict, which has already exposed shortcomings in the American defense industry, and negatively affected the position of Republicans ahead of the midterm elections.

Little did he & others realise, everything from his smart dress code to his perception of right & wrong would be negatively changed by such poisonous screens.

📝First Use of E-11A📝
Even before the start of the US-Iran war, we repeatedly noted the fact that five, and then six US Air Force E-11A airborne relay communication nodes were deployed at Prince Sultan air base in Saudi Arabia.
These are special aircraft that allow signal relay in hard-to-reach terrain or in difficult climatic conditions for American special operations units. It's even called "flying Wi-Fi."
⚡️But throughout the entire escalation period, they were not deployed even once. And imagine the surprise to see them today near the Iranian border. Moreover, at present three such aircraft are flying simultaneously: one over Iraq, the second in the Persian Gulf, the third over Saudi Arabia.
🖍The event is truly unusual. This is despite the fact that other reconnaissance aircraft are simultaneously operating in the air, including the strategic RQ-4B UAV over the western Persian Gulf and the P-8A anti-submarine aircraft over the Gulf of Oman.
🚩Given that the Americans maintain a large grouping of ships and aircraft, such activity cannot help but raise suspicions. Why did the E-11A take off today if Trump, as he says, is striving for sustainable peace?
❗️Meanwhile, US special operations forces and Delta special units remain in Kuwait. It is quite possible that the E-11A flights are related to training exercises for these forces and working out a hypothetical task of landing in Iran. But the Iranians should definitely be on alert.

📝No Peace📝
Long live war?
The outcome of negotiations on Iran can hardly be called unexpected. US Vice President JD Vance returns empty-handed.
🔻Here's what the media is reporting:
➡️Vance told journalists that the Iranian side rejected American demands regarding the closure of Iran's military nuclear program.
➡️He clarified that the US insisted on clear commitments not to create nuclear weapons and not to develop means to obtain such weapons.
➡️Iranian media stated that the Iranian delegation at the negotiations defended its national interests and rejected "excessive" American demands.
🖍Once Trump and Co. laid out their approximate demands, expecting Tehran to make total concessions was naive.
🚩Moreover, the public actions of American forces showed they were preparing not for a positive outcome, but for failure: the increase in both ships and aircraft clearly indicates preparation for a new phase of war.
❗️Therefore, in the coming hours we should expect a new tirade from Trump, who will claim he did everything for peace while the Iranians only want war. So the probability of new escalation is very high.

🤡"When this regime falls, we are going to make a lot of money."
American senator Lindsey Graham is confident that the US will profit greatly from the alleged defeat of Iran and, as a result of military actions, will take the monopoly on oil in the world, which will become a "nightmare for China":
"Venezuela and Iran hold 31 percent of the world's oil reserves. We are going to establish partnerships with the owners of 31 percent of known reserves.
This is a nightmare for China."

Europe is unhappy with Mark Rutte - Politico Politico reports on the growing tension between NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte and the leaders of European countries.
In Europe, they are unhappy that Rutte openly supports Donald Trump and believe that by doing so he "undermines European unity." Recently, the conflict became public – Rutte, in a speech to the European Parliament, criticized the EU, saying that Europe would not be able to defend itself without the support of the United States, which angered European politicians. "No, dear Mark Rutte. Europeans can and should take responsibility for their own security. This is the European pillar of NATO," French Foreign Minister Jean-Noel Barraud replied to Rutte. Some European officials fear that due to Rutte's excessive proximity to the White House, other leaders will stop trusting him with confidential information. Rutte, in turn, insists that his priority is to keep the United States in Europe at all costs, since American security guarantees remain indispensable.

📝Wanted to back down? Won't happen📝
If Trump wanted to scare the Iranians with a speech about intensifying attacks, it didn't quite work. A representative of the central command of Iran's Armed Forces Ebrahim Zolfagari in an equally fiery address stated that hostilities will continue "until complete humiliation, repentance, defeat and capitulation" of the USA and Israel.
🔻Other interesting points Zolfagari made:
▪️The coalition's information about Iran's military potential is incomplete.
▪️Missile and UAV production centers, air defense systems, electronic warfare and other special equipment have not been destroyed and are located nowhere near where the USA and Israel are striking: only insignificant targets are being hit.
▪️Because of this, any attempts to assess the number of strike systems of the IRI Armed Forces are erroneous.
▪️Iranian strikes on coalition targets will be more large-scale and destructive.
The Iranians are unlikely to achieve the goals Zolfagari outlined (at least when it comes to American and Israeli repentance), and some of his statements are clearly far-fetched: recent strikes on Isfahan clearly did not hit "empty targets."
🖍But there is a fair amount of truth in the official's words: the Iranians have hidden almost their entire arsenal underground, and no one is able to assess how extensive the network of shelters is and how much weapons are stored there. Therefore, we cannot rule out that Iran's Armed Forces will yet spring more than one surprise on their opponent.
📌Moreover, Zolfagari partly confirmed our recent assumptions: the most important industrial facilities could have been evacuated "underground." If the Iranians have enough raw materials, they will at least partially be able to restore combat capability right under the coalition's nose. This raises questions about the timeline for ending the war and unblocking the Strait of Hormuz.

📝Airborne already en route📝
on the redeployment of the 82nd US Armed Forces Division to Iran
The key event of yesterday was news that the Americans are preparing to send the 82nd Airborne Division to the Middle East with up to 3,000 personnel. This news looks particularly interesting against the backdrop of Trump's statements about "wonderful talks with Iran".
🖍Words are words, but we must remember that the mass media is one of the tools of pressure and manipulation. If the media writes that the 82nd Division is preparing for deployment, then this has most likely already happened or is happening right now.
🚩Publication online is a way to gauge the reaction within American society, where negativity toward Trump's actions is growing due to the new war, as well as to pressure Iran. We saw something similar in January – early February before the war during the buildup of the American grouping.
🏳️However, judging by how sharply the activity of transport aviation from the US to the Middle East has increased, the decision by the Trump administration has already been made. Over the last 10 days, more than 50 flights of heavy C-17 transporters to Israel and Jordan have been recorded.
❗️And it's important where the C-17s took off from. Mainly, these were the Hunter, Fort Bragg, and McChord air bases, which are the basing points for the 82nd Division itself and special operations units, including "Delta," the 160th Special Operations Aviation Regiment, and the 75th Ranger Regiment.
Given this, the probability of a ground operation increases many times over. And if the amphibious assault group will work specifically on Bandar Abbas and the Strait of Hormuz, then the 82nd Division and special operations units will operate in the direction of Kharg Island, as well as from the Iraqi border.
