There is little news and things are fairly quiet, which is typical for a Saturday. US ships are getting closer to the Iranian coast. Other ships are said to be avoiding a certain area in the straits of Hormuz. UK ships are also converging on Iran. I expect an offensive attack on Iran within 2-3 days. These things take time to plan and arrange. They may do an initial attack/rescue mission, then wait for a response from Iran. Once the retaliation takes place then the allies will hit Iran with full force. If they were smart they would do a full attack first and not wait.

Articles are being written about what will need to be done, meaning they believe that the US will need to use bunker busting nukes to destroy all facilities where nukes and materials are stored. And also knock out all missiles before they can launch them at Israel and other locations. In addition to that they are saying they will need to knock out the Iranian navy. There was also a statement made on a blog that Iran has more missiles than France, Germany UK and Israel combined. There were statements like that made about Iraq, but it didn't matter since we chipped away at those stockpiles and weapons before they could ever use them. If there are any major missile attacks from Iran it is because the west allowed it to happen. That is the sad truth. There are researchers saying that the Iranian subs don't have missile launching capabilities. I am not sure that is true, but I hope so.

Russia sent over 6,000 troops to the Ossetia area on the Georgian border. Hostilities have been on going there. The situation is tense in Ukraine, with casualties on both sides and shelling taking place. Ukrainian tanks have sent to the eastern border. Turkey is continuing their attacks inside Syria and the fighting and shelling is very heavy. Israel made an attack against Iranian forces 100 miles inside Iraq recently. There was also a rumor that Israel flew one of those special US stealth fighter jets all the way to Tehran and circled the city. The Iranian leadership was in a panic and the military never saw it on their radar. Trump announced yesterday that Iran is running out of money and have started to withdraw their proxy troops out of Syria and Lebanon. He also said that the value of Iranian money is going down and that the people are starting to suffer and the economy is close to collapsing. There were also extensive protests in Iran against the Mullahs and government. It seems that the insurgents are active inside Iran to help get rid of the current government once the military attack from the allies takes place. There is talk of navy seals taking some of those Iranian islands near the straits of Hormuz.
