UPDATE – US AND ISRAEL ATTACK IRAN – June 07, 2026

The war over Iran is no longer a regional exchange of fire. While Washington speaks of negotiations, U.S. bases in the Gulf come under attack, a Lebanon ceasefire collapses before it can take hold, and frozen Iranian billions are being claimed both as the price of peace and as a reconstruction fund for Gulf allies.

UPDATE – US AND ISRAEL ATTACK IRAN – June 03, 2026

Between May 31 and June 3, the confrontation between the United States, Israel, and Iran entered a new phase of operational routine: U.S. blockade enforcement in the Gulf, Iranian retaliation against Kuwait and Bahrain, renewed CENTCOM strikes on Qeshm Island, and negotiations whose real status remains deeply contradictory.

Energy Secretary Wright says Iran is "weeks" from weapons-grade uranium - his own CIA says months. Saudi Arabia and the UAE have been secretly fighting all along. And Iran is formalizing control of the Strait of Hormuz as a permanent institutional reality - regardless of how the war ends.
