Iran Announces Switch from Defense to Offense vs the US

Iran will shift to a "fully offensive" military posture against the US because Dummkopf Trumpf ruled out extending a temporary ceasefire agreement with Tehran. Oil tanker traffic through the strategic Strait of Hormuz has ground to a halt and the US Treasury is going bankrupt. The 26 February illegal war that the US launched against Iran on behalf of Israel has been depleting US strategic ammunition stores, high-tech drones, and demoralizing the US armed forces, all while "Trumpf Diarrhrea Syndrome" menaces the American public. These are all weaknesses the Iranian High Command sees and will take full advantage of, along with rising gas prices, food recalls, and a population being terrorized by ICE before the US midterm elections on Tuesday 3 Nov 2026.

Operation AIPAC FURY is costing the US billions and billions of dollars. Thanks Bibi and Miriam!

Data on Iran's military: Iran is a top 20 military power

The Persians, whose civilization goes back 5,000 years and gave the world chess, world class wrestlers, delicious cuisine, exotic musical syncopations, and the concept "zig-zag" -- supported militarily by China and Russia -- are going to punish Dummkopf Trumpf mightily for his intergalactic folly and manifest incompetence.

From the cited article ...

... Iran will shift to a "fully offensive" military posture because efforts to negotiate a permanent end to the war with the U.S. have stalled, a senior Iranian official told Reuters on Monday, as Washington ruled out extending a temporary ceasefire agreement.

Outward progress towards peace talks and a resumption of oil tanker traffic through the strategic Strait of Hormuz has ground to a halt, threatening to extend the conflict that the U.S. and Israel launched with attacks on Iran on February 28. ...

So, Iran is now saying publicly something that Pres Trump has taught them...

The Iranian control of the Strait of Hormuz may be a more potent force to face the world than Iran possessing a nuclear bomb.

Yeah for Pres Trump!
