The Axis of Resistance is not defeated... instead, we are watching as not only is Iran landing successful missile attacks in Israel and causing significant damage, but so is Hezbollah. In fact, Hezbollah carried out a record 85 operations against Israel in a single day, on Wednesday, with a combination of drone, rocket, artillery, missile and guided anti-tank missile attacks.

Veteran Journalist Dr. Marwa Osman noted that the Lebanese people are united against both Israel, and the US-backed government in Beirut enabling Israeli war crimes against Lebanese civilians. She emphasized that President Trump's demands for a ceasefire and plans for a ground invasion are signs of desperation, as the U.S. struggles to handle the War of Choice it waged against the Resistance.

The Pentagon has ordered around 2,000 soldiers from the U.S. Army’s 82nd Airborne Division to begin moving to the Middle East, as an estimated 4,500 Marines are already en route, amid soaring tensions surrounding a potential U.S. attempt at a ground invasion of Iran.

Laith Marouf, a journalist and executive director of Free Palestine TV, noted that a ground invasion would be a “suicide mission” for American troops, and that if there was an easy way to invade Iran… it would have been done by now.

Instead, the U.S. is looking at a number of bad options, and even the seizure of Kharg Island would be short-lived, as Iran’s gains continue all around and they they include airspace dominance over West Asia.

The global economy is starting to panic, as the war in Iran is not only a military war, but an economic war... and everything from Iran's restrictions on the Strait of Hormuz, to the various attacks on energy infrastructure across West Asia, as the U.S. and Israel have continued to escalate the conflict, has put the world's supply of oil, gas, fertilizer, etc. in a dire position.

Prof. Richard Wolff, an American Economist and founder of Democracy at Work, noted that the Petrodollar as we know it is OVER with the War in Iran, because the Gulf states are learning the hard way that they can no longer rely on the U.S.

He also predicted it will be the start of a major shift away from reliance on oil and gas, and towards new partnerships, as countries like Russia and China continue to stand with Iran, and U.S. allies from Europe to Asia, feel the pain of this war.

Who better to tell the story of Palestine than a Palestinian? In his new book "Before the Flood: a Gaza Family Memoir," Dr. Ramzy Baroud, editor of the Palestine Chronicle, tells the story of the survival of three generations of the al-Badrasawi family as they are removed from their home in Beit Daras during the Nakba, forced into a refugee camp in Gaza.

Baroud noted that it was important to him to reframe the way Palestinians are viewed, and to highlight the path of resistance under decades of occupation, as the Palestinian people continue to fight back... inspiring the entire Axis of Resistance across the region to resist colonial oppression from the West.

Reports say the Pentagon is preparing to deploy a brigade combat team of around 3,000 soldiers from the U.S. Army’s 82nd Airborne Division to the Middle East “to support operations against Iran.” This, as thousands of U.S. Marines are already en route, and set to arrive at Central Command on Friday, which just happens to be Trump’s latest deadline for Iran to open the Strait of Hormuz.

But Iran is NOT backing down, as it launched the 79th wave of attacks in its strategic response to the U.S. and Israel’s war of aggression on Tuesday, with targets that included the Rafael weapons industries in Haifa, Israeli Aerospace Industries near Ben Gurion Airport, and refueling aircraft at the airport.

Iran’s foreign minister says “there’s no dialogue between Tehran and Washington,” after President Trump declared that he was postponing his own deadline for U.S. Military strikes on Iranian power plants, claiming the two countries were engaged in “productive” talks.

However, Trump’s statement notably comes on a Monday morning, as he is desperately trying to lower oil prices, keep the stock market from crashing, and to walk back his own threats after Iran refused to back down on its promise to retaliate with escalated strikes and the complete closure of the Strait of Hormuz.

Veteran War Correspondent Elijah Magnier noted that for Iran, this is an existential war, therefore “there is no room for bluffing,” which is why they have retaliated exactly as they said they would.

He also pointed out that the U.S. and Israel have run out of military targets, which is why they’re threatening civilian infrastructure, as the Trump Admin struggles to figure out how to handle an adversary who is willing to fight back.

Reports from Iran are warning that “the entire region will go dark,” if President Trump follows through on his threat to target Iranian power plants, if the Strait of Hormuz is not fully opened by Monday.

Dr. Foad Izadi, an author and associate professor in the Department of American Studies at the University of Tehran, noted that after decades of restraint, Iran is now pursuing a policy of “an eye for an eye,” and if the U.S. attacks its decentralized power grid, then Iran will target electricity infrastructure linked to the U.S. and Israel across the region.

Reports say President Trump is considering deploying thousands of U.S. Troops to the Middle East, with air and naval forces to target the Strait of Hormuz, and ground forces to attempt to seize Iran's Kharg Island. This, as the Trump Admin requests $200 BILLION in funding for the war they just launched.

Brian Berletic, a geopolitical analyst and Host of The New Atlas, noted that the war in Iran has been decades in the making and was never meant to just be a four-day operation.

He pointed out that the U.S. has its eye on its biggest competition: China. And because Washington knows it can’t compete with Beijing economically or militarily, it is looking for ways to cut off the resources China imports from the Middle East, starting with a maritime blockade on oil traffic.

Iran has retaliated with a series of strikes on Israel's largest oil refinery in Haifa, and on energy infrastructure in Qatar, Saudi Arabia and Kuwait, after Israel attacked the South Pars Gas Field.

Independent Journalist Robert Inlakesh noted that the Israeli escalation is a reminder that one of the Zionists' goals in this war is to cause massive damage to infrastructure in the Gulf states, in the hopes that it will take years to repair and make them easier to control—thus playing into the hands of the 'Greater Israel' project.

Israel just sent both tensions and energy prices soaring, with attacks on South Pars, the world’s largest natural gas field, which is operated by Iran and Qatar. Tehran has announced it will retaliate against Gulf and Israeli oil infrastructure, and it has issued warnings to residents near gas fields and refineries in Saudi Arabia, the UAE, and Qatar.

Lieutenant Colonel Ibrahim Zolfaghari, spokesperson for Iran’s Khatam al-Anbiya Central Headquarters, has issued a warning to those responsible for the attacks, saying: “You attacked our infrastructure and energy in the south. Your infrastructure, energy, and gas facilities will burn to ashes at the first opportunity.”

Laith Marouf, a journalist and executive director of Free Palestine TV, noted that these strikes by Israel will have an impact, not just on Iran and Qatar, but on the global economy as it’s yet another attack on the world’s supply of oil and natural gas, and another escalation in this illegal war of aggression against Iran.
