Iran warns US forces of attacks if they attempt to enter Strait of Hormuz

“We will maintain and manage the security of the Strait of Hormuz with all our might and we announce to all commercial ships and tankers to refrain from any action to transit without the coordination of the armed forces stationed in the Strait of Hormuz so that their security is not jeopardised,” the military said.

“We warn that any foreign armed force, especially the aggressive US army, will be attacked if they attempt to approach and enter the Strait of Hormuz.”

Trump says shooting won‘t ‚deter‘ him from winning Iran war

„It‘s not going to deter me from winning the war in Iran. I don‘t know if that had anything to do with it, I really don‘t think so, based on what we know,“ Trump told reporters in a briefing at the White House after the shocking security incident.

Trump had earlier said, however, that „you never know“ if it could be linked to the Iran war, and said…

US seeks Iran’s surrender; Iranians don’t submit to force: Pezeshkian

Netanyahu Corruption Trial Testimony Delayed Due to ‚Security and Political Reasons‘

US-Iran ceasefire clouded by confusion: Analyst

“Not only is it contentious in itself, what remains even more contentious is the fact that no one seems to agree about what everyone agreed about, or didn’t agree about,” Pinfold told Al Jazeera.

“We don’t know what Iran agreed to, we don’t know what both sides think they agreed to,” he added, noting the further complication that various parties which were either attacked or involved in the fighting were not represented.

Lack of unified document complicates US-Iran negotiations

Iran says they have 10 points. The US says it has 15 points. The problem here is a dilemma that there is no single document that anyone can refer to for what both sides are going to discuss.

Tabu hinter „Verschwörungstheorie“: Hierarchie und Befehlskette

(May 2, 2017)

Beispiel 3:

Präsident A will sein „Einflussgebiet“ („Area of Influence“) vergrößern. Er hat sich zum Sturz der Hierarchie des nicht kontrollierten Staates bzw Gebietes Evil entschieden. Warum, wie, auf wessen Drängen auch immer spielt keine Rolle mehr, sobald die Entscheidung gefallen ist. Denn dann steht nicht nur seine Macht über die gesamte eigene Hierarchie, sowie aller eingegliederten und untergeordneten Hierarchien auf dem Spiel, sondern wiederum deren Macht, letztlich diese selbst. Daher muss Evil im Zweifel auch erobert werden, wenn der Sturz von dessen Hierarchie nicht gelingt.

(…)

Bleibt die Eroberung von Evil stecken bzw reicht die Zahl der organisierten und geführten Söldner und Milizen nicht aus, werden neue aufgestellt und alles beginnt von vorne. Die Hierarchie aller eingesetzten Proxy-Truppen endet dabei immer bei A, bzw dessen Untergebenen bei X1 und Z1. Die Proxy-Truppen können wahlweise kombiniert werden, untereinander überlaufen, sich neue Namen geben, eigene Territorien mit blumigen Namen gründen, etc, solange alle der Eroberung von Evil, oder alternativen Planmodellen dienen, wie der Zerschlagung von Evil, und / oder übergeordneten längerfristigen strategischen Zielen, wie der Zersetzung oder Zerschlagung noch vorhandener demokratischer Strukturen oder ganzer Staaten im eigenen Einflussbereich, z.B. durch die Erzeugung gewaltig-heiliger Intelligenz- und Erleuchtungswellen durch „mehr Atlantik“.

Eventuelle geostrategisch vermeintlich oder tatsächlich konkurrierende Hierarchien werden gekauft und ruhiggestellt, z.B. indem man ihnen das eigene Konzept zur Transformation des Herrschaftsbereiches andreht. Man versteht sich. Man will doch nicht streiten. Wo doch alle profitieren, von der Lage.

Eine Verschwörung hat nicht stattgefunden. Es sind einfach alle vernünftig.

Israel Thought It Could Spur Rebellion Inside Iran. That Hasn’t Happened.

Within days of the war’s beginning, said David Barnea, the Mossad chief, his service would likely be able to galvanize the Iranian opposition — igniting riots and other acts of rebellion that could even lead to the collapse of Iran’s government. Mr. Barnea also presented the proposal to senior Trump administration officials during a visit to Washington in mid-January.

Mr. Netanyahu adopted the plan.

Why has Iran’s air defence network failed so badly?

(March 3, 2026)

Iranian air defence sites have been subjected to aggressive electromagnetic spectrum operations but in tandem, its defences have also been targeted kinetically.

(…)

For long-range defence, Iran has developed the Bavar-373 which has comparable capabilities to the Russian S-300. For short range air defence, the country has reverse engineered the Chinese HQ-7 as the Ya Zahr, and in 2021 the Zoubin system was unveiled.

Besides these copy cat systems, the country also leans on ageing Russian air defences, most notably the S-300PMU-2 battery.

Money Out of Thin Air: The Secret Truth About How Banks Create New Money

(July 7, 2025)

Here’s what really happens when you get a loan from a bank:

– The bank doesn’t go into a vault and hand you someone else’s cash.
– The bank creates new money right then and there, by typing numbers into your account.

That’s right: Most of the money in our economy didn’t exist until someone took out a loan!

‘Good progress’ in Iran-US talks, but ‘more difficult’ days ahead

(February 17, 2026)

Oman’s foreign minister, Badr Albusaidi, who has been mediating between Tehran and Washington, echoed that assessment. “Today’s indirect negotiations between the Islamic Republic of Iran and the United States of America in Geneva concluded with good progress towards identifying common goals and relevant technical issues,” he wrote on X.

A U.S. official also acknowledged movement in the talks, telling Axios that the negotiations “made progress,” but added that “there are still a lot of details to discuss.”

U.S. and Iran Make ‘Good Progress’ in Geneva Talks, Foreign Minister Says

(February 17, 2026)

Indirect talks between American and Iranian officials in Switzerland ended on Tuesday with an agreement on a “set of guiding principles,” according to Iran’s foreign minister, who said both sides had agreed to exchange drafts on a potential deal.

The foreign minister, Abbas Araghchi, was as positive as he was vague, providing little clarity on what had been discussed or when the next round of discussions might be held.

Magnetic effect on CO 2 solubility in seawater: A possible link between geomagnetic field variations and climate

(August 2008)

Correlations between geomagnetic-field and climate parameters have been suggested repeatedly, but possible links are controversially discussed. Here we test if weak (Earth-strength) magnetic fields can affect climatically relevant properties of seawater. We found the solubility of air in seawater to be by 15% lower under reduced magneticfield (20 mT) compared to normal field conditions (50 mT). The magnetic-field effect on CO2 solubility is twice as large, from which we surmise that geomagnetic field variations modulate the carbon exchange between atmosphere and ocean. A 1% reduction in magnetic dipole moment may release up to ten times more CO2 from the surface ocean than is emitted by subaerial volcanism.

Ocean Tides and Magnetic Fields

(December 30, 2016)

Earth’s magnetic field is built up from many contributing sources ranging from the planet’s core to the magnetosphere in space. Untangling and identifying the different sources allows geomagnetic scientists to gather information about the individual processes that combine to create the full field.

One contributor is the ocean. But how do the tides affect Earth’s magnetic field? Seawater is an electrical conductor, and therefore interacts with the magnetic field. As the tides cycle around the ocean basins, the ocean water essentially tries to pull the geomagnetic field lines along. Because the salty water is a good, but not great, conductor, the interaction is relatively weak. The strongest component is from the regular lunar tide that happens about twice per day (actually 12.42 hours).

“They had a very good meeting with a very high representative Iran, of Iran, and we’ll see how it all turns out,” Trump told a gathering of reporters aboard Air Force One, noting that the country could not be permitted to have nuclear weapons under any deal.

U.S.-Iran nuclear talks back on after Arab leaders lobby White House

Plans for U.S.-Iran nuclear talks on Friday are back on, after several Middle Eastern leaders urgently lobbied the Trump administration on Wednesday afternoon not to follow through on threats to walk away, two U.S. officials told Axios.

The talks will be held in Oman, as Iran insisted, despite the U.S. initially rejecting changes to the original plan to meet in Istanbul.
