Iranian Wedding Rice: I Malaysia has received permission to pass through the Strait of Hormuz. But what I am reading today reminds me that I do love Iranian wedding rice. There is a great Halal restaurant in Dallas where Dr. Yusuf Ziya Kavakci and I used to meet which had the best rice and fresh salads and meat selections. For the rest of us: Strategic Iranian Wedding Rice (English translation in next post) امروز بیش از هر زمان دیگر بحث حمله زمینی آمریکا و اسرائیل به ایران مطرح است. این اتفاق بعد از شکست طرح های مخلتف آمریکا در زمینه فشار با تهاجم هوایی و ایجاد آشوب در داخل، آنها برای مجبور کردن ایران به پذیرش آتش بس سراغ طرح حمله زمینی رفته اند. برای اینکار نیاز به تجمع گسترده نظامی نیروها در سطح سپاه است است. با توجه به افزایش تحرکات نظامی آمریکا جهت آغاز فرایند حمله زمینی می‌توانیم فرض کنیم آنها این کریدور را ایجاد کرده اند باید ببینیم مسیر حرکت نیروهای آمریکایی در این کریدور از کجا به کجا است. اگر ایالات متحده موفق شده باشد که یک کریدور تدارکاتی ا...

FIRMS: Outbreak of Fire at Camp Arifjan Our systems are complex: https://firms.modaps.eosdis.nasa.gov/ Here is the image; unsure of the nature of the blaze. Other "smallish" news today. Iran is cleaning up around the edges of the PKK in Iraq. Kharg Island has coastal mines to prevent a land invasion, and multi-level defense decisions and logistics are involved in protecting the island. The real estate is not for sale - no differently than Iran is not up for grabs. Rumors of explosions on U.S. bases in UAE - but unconfirmed. I have seen the video of the F-18 Hornet which was hit and sustained damage, but there is no confirmation that a jet crashed into the Indian Ocean today. And for that matter, I cannot confirm the video was geo-spatially correct. It seems a partial truth with the spin of a greater lie.
Negotiating with Ourselves Oopsie! It was an incredibly bad idea when we decided to kill the Grand Ayatollah. We really screwed the pooch with that decision. So let's take a look at the grandstanding and chatter this morning: https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-15677073/Iran-fires-missiles-American-military-bases-Gulf-says-US-negotiating-live-updates.html Grandstanding: Statement by the spokesperson of the Martyr Soleimani Command of the Iranian Armed Forces, addressed to Washington. (His image is also posted with communications issued by the "Office of the Seal of the Prophet"): (Note: I just added the image now - (12:46) - in case there is a level of interest. "Do not call your defeat an agreement. Neither will your investments in the region return, nor will the previous energy and oil prices be seen again." Spokesperson for Parliament's National Security Committee: "Iran still has much to do with the enemy, and the Iranian missiles ...
The Pentagon's Persecution of a Free Press Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth has Kingsley Wilson as his official Pentagon Press Muppet. The woman is no journalist. And she always comes across as a Muppet from Sesame Street. But she definitely has the seashell clutched to her ear. And we will not hear her utter a word which is not rote regurgitation of that which she has been told to say. This is not journalism. It is propaganda. President Trump promised the American people the most transparent government in the history of our nation. But as professional journalists continue to labor under the Pentagon's deliberate persecution of the press corps, it seems a reasonable belief that this manner of doing business has the full backing of the Oval Office. https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/pentagon-will-remove-media-offices-judge-reinstates-new-york-press-cre-rcna264836 In my own career, it has been a necessity to engage the...
Discussions from the Iranian Side of the House What is floating about in the ether today. Take it as a conversation; not a solid strategic consideration. Yesterday at least 20 very long EAM messages from HFGCS, a subsidiary of US Strategic Command, were sent to military bases around the world. Shortly thereafter, several messages from the Russian Navy surfaced. Today is completely silent. This morning, I also said that there is a high probability that in the next few days, there will be a large-scale attack by the United States to achieve a media victory; This attack may be an air attack with Niro's heliborne helicopter or a large-scale attack with long-range missiles and MRR RNEP attack. Although today, a sudden and widespread storm occurred in the Persian Gulf, due to which large areas of flight were prohibited and the sea was unsafe. It is possible that the attack will be launched at the end of this storm, as in the Normandy operation, similar weather conditions were chosen in ...
President Trump I just looked at the official White House site and skipped through a few of the thirty-eight pages in the gallery with images of... Trump... Trump... pa rum pum pum pum. "A newborn king to see, pa rum pum pum pum." Abroad, a doctrine of peace through strength has secured alliances, ended eight wars, and positioned America as an indispensable force for global stability. As these achievements compound, we have unmistakably entered a Golden Age of American greatness, promising even greater opportunity and security. Actually, I am not fond of rum. But pass me two fingers of Brandy as we discuss the narrative above which is on the main page. First of all, nobody should shoot the finger at Jack Reacher. That hulking man is going to toss you around like a puppy in front of the sons of the Republic. I am certainly whimpering at this point in time. We gave Iran the finger and they are offering back a clenched fist. It will remain cl...
