Tucker Carlson on Iran:
Last night in Qatar and Saudi Arabia, authorities arrested Mossad agents planning on committing bombings in those countries. Now, that’s weird. It doesn’t make any sense.
Why would the Israelis be committing bombings in two Gulf countries which are also being attacked by Iran? Aren’t they on the same side? No.
Israel wants to hurt Iran and Qatar and UAE and Saudi and Bahrain and Oman and Kuwait. And they’ve succeeded.
Day 3: Iran reduces launches, but shoots down drones and aircraft
US-Israel forced Iran to cut back launches on the third day of the war. Last night, heavy attacks hit Iranian bunkers; several may have lost launchers, had exits blocked, or suffered silo damage.
This is expected: Israeli and American drones with SAR sensors and MX pods detect thermal signatures and smoke patterns over vast areas, map them, and then bomb likely hideouts.
Over time, this damages entrances, buries silos, and reduces launch capacity until sites are cleared and air patrols prevent drone activity, if Iran retains that capability.
On day three, missiles fell on Israel during the day and some at night, but in noticeably fewer numbers than before. It seems Iran chose to concentrate more force on attacks against US bases, which were bombed for three days, totaling 6 American military deaths.
Iran also shot down 3 drones with video confirmation and 3 F-15Es, which CENTCOM denied. However, the rear hit evidence, all pilots surviving, and ongoing combat in the area make me believe these were shootdowns. I have no concern for official versions in any war; I ignore them and raise evidence when available. When none exists, I stick to doubt.
Iran lost two more ships today, unarmed ones, bringing verified losses to 8. However, only 2 were modern; some may have been left in port. After all, who leaves useful ships in port during war?
The United States is also sending 14 more tanker aircraft to support attacks. I suspect these are naval aviation assets, as the carrier is approaching the coast.
On day three, Iran continued bombing not just bases but also hotels where American military personnel have been sheltered.
A drone strike on a hotel in Bahrain injured two U.S. Defense Department employees, according to a State Department cable reviewed by The Washington Post.
Iranian media also accused US-Israel of striking more than 100 civilian barges at the port of Jask in Hormozgan province with incendiary munitions, causing significant damage.
Beyond soaring oil and gas prices due to the war, airlines and insurers now face the first major strategic capitalist sector with billion-dollar losses and cascading contagion, at risk of collapse before major shipping and oil companies.
If US-Israel can sustain the reduction in Iranian missile launches, it will be easier to handle drones, which, due to simpler logistics, should be launched in greater numbers.
The war is intensifying and risks spiraling out of control, which isn't bad for everyone.
According to journalist Tucker Carlson, Qatar and Saudi Arabia arrested Mossad agents planning to plant bombs in those countries to drag them into war with Iran. This ties to Iran's denial of responsibility for attacks on Gulf oil and gas sectors.
As I reported days ago, the situation will grow increasingly alarming until US-Israel do everything to pull Gulf countries in, and ultimately bring Europeans into the conflict. https://x.com/pati_marins64/status/2028640013626286445?s=20
