Updates: Vita vya USA-Israel vs Iran - Taarifa zangu za upande wa iran

President Pezeshkian's openness to de-escalation within our region-provided that our neighbors' airspace, territory, and waters are not used to attack the Iranian People-was almost immediately killed by President Trump’s misinterpretation of our capabilities, determination and intent. If Mr. Trump seeks escalation, it is precisely what our Powerful Armed Forces have long been prepared for, and what he will get. Responsibility for any intensification of Iran's exercise of self-defense will lie squarely with the U.S. Administration.

Mr. Trump's week-long misadventure has already cost the U.S. military $100 Billion, in addition to the lives of young soldiers. When markets reopen, that cost will balloon and directly be transferred to ordinary Americans at pumping stations.

Mr. Trump's own National Intelligence Council, representing input from the 18 intelligence agencies of the U.S., determined that war on Iran is destined to fail.

I also warned Mr. Trump's envoys that war will not improve their bargaining position. Were these warnings conveyed?

The American People voted to end involvement in costly quagmires in the Middle East. Instead, they have ended up with an Administration that Netanyahu, after decades of failed attempts, finally managed to dupe into fighting Israel's wars.

This is a war of choice pursued by a small cabal of 'Israel Firsters', and 'Israel First' always means 'America Last'.
 
🗣 Iranian crisis becomes embarrassment for US military that can’t protect anyone – MidEast analyst

🔊 Prior to the arrival of the United States, the Persian Gulf was essentially the domain of the British Empire which ended up handing over its holdings to the US to ensure that the latter would be at the forefront of any major war in the region, Middle East affairs analyst Mais Kurbanov tells Sputnik.

👉Currently, the US controls a network of military installations that don’t just serve as military garrisons – these are all elements of a system of control of the Gulf ‘gas station,” Kurbanov remarks.

🇮🇱 This defensive network was never meant to protect the Arab states of the Gulf – it’s real purpose was to protect Israel.

💬“This entire shield was created to keep Israel safe and to intercept missiles. They were more or less able to intercept them during the previous conflicts, before Iran started targeting their radars. And now they got nothing to intercept because Iran destroys the early warning system itself,” notes Kurbanov.

📍 The US is unwilling and unable to defend the Gulf states – it only cares about its own interests. And all of the Gulf states besides Iran are now vulnerable because they don’t have any air defense systems, he adds. The US focuses on protecting only its own assets in the region.

💬“The US has embarrassed itself in front of the entire world. Everybody now knows that the Americans are no protectors,” says Kurbanov. “They used to mock Russia when Ukraine scored some hits, acting as if they are invincible. Now Iran keeps pummeling them, and US ships have to flee two thousand kilometers into the ocean to escape Iranian missiles.”

🗣“It means the US has no meaningful air defense. Neither Israel’s Iron Dome nor the US’ vaunted Patriots can do anything. Consider this: such weapon system costs a billion dollars and an Iranian Shaheed, this dirt-cheap drone worth twenty thousand, just takes it out.”

🔊“All of the weapons the US peddled across the world – stealth aircraft, MQ-9 Reaper drones they were so proud of – turned out to be useless,” he points out.

Meanwhile, Iran keeps demonstrating the kind of new missiles that maybe two other leading world powers beside them possess.

💬“The US should just leave. There will be no negotiations with them and they know it,” argues Kurbanov.

Though the US does possess an extensive global network of military installations – several hundred facilities in dozens of different countries – even it cannot ensure an immediate stabilization of the situation. He points out that Russia and China haven’t yet become actively involved in the current crisis, and that without their involvement the US would be hard-pressed to deal with global issues.

📡 Iran is friend to its neighbors; aggressors will face harsh response: FM Araghchi

📌 Tehran, IRNA – Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi has announced the Islamic Republic considers neighboring countries its friends and warned that any aggressor would face a severe response.

In an interview with the Independent Arabia , Araghchi said that the current conflict was imposed on the region and stressed that Iran does not view its neighbors as enemies.

The Iranian minister said he remains in continuous contact with his Saudi counterpart.

Araghchi added that Saudi officials have assured Tehran they are fully committed to preventing their territory, waters, or airspace from being used against Iran. He expressed hope that Riyadh would remain committed to the rapprochement agreement reached in Beijing.

The Iranian diplomat blamed rising tensions on the US and Israeli criminal regimes, saying their actions had placed the entire region at risk. He also criticized the presence of US military bases in the region, arguing that they have brought nothing but insecurity.

Analysts note that the joint US-Israeli invasion, which began on February 28, 2026, following the martyrdom of Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei, disregarded ongoing indirect negotiations. In response, Iran launched precise retaliatory strikes against Israeli positions and US bases, citing its inherent right to self-defense under Article 51 of the UN Charter and warning that further escalation would invite a harsher reaction.
 
⚡️ Envoy warns London on any intervention in Trump's illegal war of aggression against Iran

📌 London, IRNA – Iran’s Ambassador to the UK has warned that Tehran expected London and others to be very delicate, very careful in their actions.

Speaking in an interview with BBC on Saturday night, Ali Mousavi stated the British government had said it was not involved in this aggression.

It was good that the UK was not involved with this aggression, adding he believed the British government had learned lessons from the 2003 invasion of Iraq, Mousavi was quoted as saying.

But if they intend to participate in an attack against Iran, there is no doubt that Iran will exercise its right to legitimate self-defense, he added.

Iran has a long history of relations at bilateral, regional, and international levels with friendly countries in the Persian Gulf region, he stated.

The US and the Israeli regime launched joint military aggression on Iran on February 28 some eight months after they attacked the country in June last year. Both attacks came as Tehran was in the midst of diplomatic talks with Washington over its peaceful nuclear program.

Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei was assassinated in a US-Israeli terrorist airstrike targeting his residence and office early on Saturday.
