Iran is preparing a new list of targets inside Israel in case the conflict between the two countries resumes, Al-Jazeera reported on Saturday, citing an Iranian security source. According to the source, the new targets would be those that could not be repaired or rebuilt for years, and targeting them would “accelerate emigration from Israel.” The report comes after Iranian officials warned that any attack on Pickaxe Mountain, an underground fortified facility currently under construction, located near Iran’s Natanz nuclear complex, would trigger a heavy response, including strikes on Israel, even if the United States carried out the attack without Israeli help. US President Donald Trump previously warned that US forces will “be hitting that area very probably pretty soon,” as the site is suspected to host parts of Iran’s enriched uranium.
Iran claims attacks on US bases in Jordan, Iraq
Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) said in a statement on Friday its forces targeted a United States military base, including several fighter jets, in Jordan in the latest attacks, adding that many American soldiers were wounded and killed. The IRGC went on to claim that a US base, as well as a Patriot air defense system and a spy balloon, at Erbil Air Base in Iraq’s Kurdistan region, were “destroyed.” Furthermore, the IRGC insisted that the US administration is hiding the exact number of servicemen killed so far in the war against Iran.
NN: It is obvious that the drones are kicking the shit out of US bases. Planes are gone and only skeleton crews are manning what it left of any on the ground assets.
IRGC claims remaining Amazon facility destroyed
Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) claimed on Friday that it had destroyed the remaining building of Amazon’s data center. “In Wave 27 of Operation Nasr 2, and in continuation of their previous operation against the data center of the American company Amazon, which plays a primary role in gathering intelligence for the child-killing American army, the fighters of Islam targeted and destroyed the remaining building of this facility,” the IRGC statement on Telegram read. On Tuesday, the IRGC said it had struck Amazon data center infrastructure in Bahrain in retaliation for a US attack on Iran’s Darkhovin nuclear power plant. In March, Amazon confirmed that its data centers in Bahrain and the United Arab Emirates were damaged in Iranian drone attacks.
NN: This was the major hub for the middle east. Internet and communications. Its loss has degraded service even in Europe
Trump: US will use Iranian money to pay for ship damages
United States President Donald Trump announced that, “from this point forth,” Washington will be using Iranian money it “controls” to pay for all damages done to ships, cargo, or anything related. The frozen assets will cover the damages “until further notice,” Trump wrote on Truth Social. “These damages may be very substantial but, nevertheless, this is the fair and equitable thing to do,” he added.
NN: I feel a lot better knowing they will pay for the ships destroyed. Will they make up for the 2 billion barrels of oil they have held off the market?
Trump may approve ‘massive’ attack on Iran
US President Donald Trump told Axios on Thursday he was seriously thinking about resuming military actions against Iran that would be larger than the scope of the previous “Operation Epic Fury.”
“I am considering a massive attack. Bigger than ever before. I am close to making a decision. We are all set for it,”
Axios quoted him as saying. Trump said he was “close” to making a decision but stressed that no final call had been made. The outlet added that the military has not received new orders, citing two US officials. The Republican president went on to add that Israel would join the operation if requested, although he claimed the US doesn’t “need anybody.” He warned that Israeli participation could trigger Iranian retaliation, while repeating that Tehran wants to negotiate but is not yet prepared to reach an agreement.
NN: Reliable sources have confirmed a massive military build up is occurring in the Middle East. We are talking the biggest deployment yet. And if trump pushese the button we could zoom to $150 oil in a matter of days

US President Donald Trump previously warned that US forces will bomb an Iranian bridge or a power plant every time Iran strikes a ship in the Strait of Hormuz. West Texas Intermediate (WTI) for deliveries in September jumped 3.18% to sell for $89.59 per barrel at 3:38 am ET.

US said to inform Israel of plans to intensify Iran strikes
Washington has supposedly informed Israel of its plans to intensify attacks on Iran in the coming days, employing some heavy bombers not used since the conflict started, Israeli Kan News reported on Wednesday. The news outlet also reported that Israel raised an alert about the possibility of a confrontation with Iran in case of an escalation, following United States President Donald Trump’s previous threats. In addition, various media reports claimed that multiple US B-1 Lancer bombers were seen leaving the RAF Fairford air base in the UK last night, after Trump commented yesterday on the possibility of Iran relocating its nuclear centrifuges to Pickaxe Mountain, stating the US military will hit that area “pretty soon” and “very heavily.”
NN: Multiple B! bombers are in the ready Freddy position in Israel. The worlds biggest 30,000 pound bunker buster bombs are being bolted to the worlds biggest bombers. Target Iran’s Pickaxe nuclear mountain.
Shipping insider says ‘nothing going through’ Hormuz
Dimitris Maniatis, CEO of Greek maritime risk management firm Marisks, told CBS News on Wednesday that while the Strait of Hormuz route remains physically open, large international merchant vessels are effectively staying away. “There’s nothing physically obstructing the navigation of any vessel willing to transit the strait, and there are vessels that trade locally and are entirely unaffected by everything that’s going on; however, if we’re talking about large ocean-going, internationally-owned and operated merchant vessels, nothing is going through,” Maniatis said. The report also mentioned that commercial traffic through the Strait of Hormuz has fallen sharply as vessel operators avoid the key waterway amid ongoing Iranian attacks on ships, citing the Joint Maritime Information Center in Bahrain, which said crossings dropped to a three-week low.
NN: No ships = no oil. Demand out strips supplies = higher prices.
US completes another night of Iran strikes…… Iran claims strikes on US bases in Bahrain, Jordan
The United States Central Command (CENTCOM) said it carried out an 11th straight night of strikes against Iran. In a statement issued on social media, CENTCOM said the US targeted Iran’s military command centers, aircraft hangars, drone storage sites, maritime assets and logistics facilities. The command accused Iran of attacking more than 30 commercial ships in the Strait of Hormuz over the past three months. “The unwarranted attacks have endangered hundreds of innocent mariners and undermined freedom of navigation,” CENTCOM stated, claiming the waterway remains open “despite Iranian aggression.”
Iran claims strikes on US bases in Bahrain, Jordan
Iranian Armed Forces said in a statement on Wednesday that it had targeted United States military bases in Bahrain and Jordan in the latest attacks. “The army targeted the ‘housing and welfare buildings’ and ‘equipment warehouses’ of the terrorist US army at the Azraq base in Jordan with drones in the morning,” the military stated. It added that “large equipment warehouses and sheds” and “heavy aircraft maintenance and repair sheds” of the US forces at the Sheikh Isa Air Base in Bahrain were also hit earlier today. The new attacks on American military assets in the region came in response to the latest US strikes across Iran, which targeted military command centers, aircraft hangars, drone storage sites, maritime assets and logistics facilities.

UK: Hormuz threat level remains severe
The United Kingdom Maritime Trade Operations (UKMTO) Centre announced on Tuesday that, according to a briefing from the Joint Maritime Information Center (JMIC), the maritime security risk level in the Strait of Hormuz remains severe. Fourteen Iranian strikes since June 25 “have kept the threat level at SEVERE, with deliberate hostile action assessed as highly likely under current conditions,” according to the JMIC’s most recent advisory report. Additionally, IRGC-related “routing pressure,” “navigation interference,” and “mine-risks” were used to justify the hazard level for commercial traffic passing through Hormuz. On July 7, the agency raised the maritime security threat level in and around the waterway to “severe” following attacks on three commercial tankers, and it has remained like that ever since.
