All the cards are currently in Iran’s hands. Iran can prolong this war for as long as it wants.
It has more than 100,000 drones and over 10,000 ballistic missiles. In addition, it has large-scale production capacity, allowing it to produce more than 400 drones every day and between 100 and 400 ballistic missiles each month.
With such production capability, Iran could potentially sustain the war for a long time, exhausting the United States and Israel and forcing them to surrender.

In his first address, Iran’s new Supreme Leader, Mojtaba Khamenei, declared:
— All US military bases in the region must immediately close or face attack. “it is clear that America’s claim of providing security is a lie.”
— The Strait of Hormuz will stay closed
— Other fronts will be opened “where the enemy has little experience and is highly vulnerable” if the war continues.
— Iran will take reparations or take from Epstien coalition assets equal value or destroy them to an equal extent.

THURSDAY UPDATES: Iran’s New Supreme Leader Injured, Tankers Hit Near Iraq, IEA’s Record Oil Release Fails as Brent Surges Toward $100Iran has confirmed that newly appointed Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei was wounded in the US-Israeli strikes that killed his father — though Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Esmail Baghaei told Italy’s Corriere Della Sera on Thursday that he is “injured but fine.” The injury may explain why Khamenei has not appeared publicly or on video since assuming the top post.
In his first public statement to the nation, Khamenei expressed gratitude to “our brave fighters” and vowed to “demand compensation from the enemy,” warning that if the US and Israel refuse, Iran would “seize as much of their assets as we deem appropriate” — and if that proves impossible, “we will destroy the same amount of their assets.” He urged neighboring countries to close US bases on their soil and clarify their position regarding what he called aggressors against Iran.
Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian has separately laid out three conditions to end the conflict: recognition of Iran’s “legitimate rights,” payment of war reparations, and firm international guarantees against future aggression.
Energy Markets in Freefall
All 34 IEA member states agreed Wednesday to a record 400-million-barrel emergency reserve release — the largest in the agency’s history. It hasn’t worked. Oil prices surged roughly 9% in the past 24 hours, with Brent crude hovering just above $100 per barrel.
At least two tankers were struck near Iraq’s Umm Qasr port early Thursday. The port of Salalah in Oman continued to burn overnight. Saudi Arabia and Bahrain both reported strikes on oil facilities. Oman evacuated vessels from Mina Al Fahal as a precaution. Western banks have begun closing Middle East branches after Iran threatened financial institutions following strikes on Tehran’s state-owned Bank Sepah, which handles military and IRGC payrolls.
Civilian Casualties & Strike Patterns
US-Israeli strikes have killed at least 1,300 people and injured over 12,000 across 13 days of operations, per Iranian officials. In Tehran, 1,300 homes have been damaged. The majority of strikes over the past two days have been concentrated on eastern Tehran, where more military units are based — though officials say the bulk of attacks continue to hit civilian areas rather than military sites. Industrial zones in Parand and across eastern, southern, and western Tehran have also been targeted.
A Pentagon probe into the strike on a primary school in Minab — which killed 168 children — reportedly concluded that “outdated US targeting data on a nearby IRGC facility likely caused the attack.”
Regional & Global Dimension
The IDF intensified strikes in Lebanon following Hezbollah coordination with Iran’s IRGC, hitting a Beirut refugee camp. The total death toll in Lebanon now exceeds 634.
The FBI has warned California authorities of a potential Iranian drone strike from an unidentified vessel off the West Coast. Governor Gavin Newsom responded on X: “while we are not aware of any imminent threats at this time, we remain prepared for any emergency.”
Russia’s Rosatom is not withdrawing from the Bushehr Nuclear Power Plant. CEO Alexey Likhachev confirmed more than 450 Rosatom employees remain on-site and are “in relative safety,” calling the project a continued priority.
Donald Trump claimed Iran has been “virtually destroyed” but said he does not intend to end the campaign early, insisting the Strait of Hormuz remains “in great shape.“

IRAN JUST REVEALED IT HAS RUSSIA'S MOST TERRIFYING UNDERWATER WEAPON → AND THERE IS NO DEFENSE AGAINST IT The IRGC commander just went on camera and said it.
"We have underwater missiles that travel at 100 meters per second. Only two countries in the world have them — Russia, the manufacturer, and us."
He's talking about the VA-111 Shkval.
Process that.
THE WEAPON:
→ A supercavitating torpedo — it creates a GAS BUBBLE around itself underwater
→ Travels at 360 km/h — FOUR TIMES faster than any conventional torpedo
→ At that speed, no ship on Earth can react in time
→ No countermeasure exists. None. ZERO.
→ From launch to impact on a carrier: under 30 seconds at close range
THE PROBLEM:
→ The US Navy's entire Hormuz strategy depends on surface ships
→ Aircraft carriers, destroyers, cruisers — all sitting on the water
→ The Shkval was designed for ONE purpose: killing ships that think they're untouchable
→ Iran has been hiding these in underground "Vessel Cities" — tunnel networks packed with attack boats, cruise missiles, and thousands of mines
One Shkval = one destroyer GONE No evasion possible at 360 km/h — the ship is dead before sonar finishes processing Iran doesn't need to CLOSE Hormuz — they just need every captain to know what's underneath them Insurance rates on tankers just became INFINITE
Iran is actively MINING Hormuz right now — UK just confirmed it Oil spiked 10% to $96/barrel TODAY The US is refusing to send naval escorts — and NOW you know why The IEA is preparing the LARGEST emergency oil release in historyThey're showing you oil prices and diplomatic statements.
They're NOT showing you what's sitting in those underwater tunnels pointed at every ship in the Persian Gulf.
You don't reveal your most classified weapon on live television for no reason.
→ You reveal it when you want EVERY navy in the world to know the cost of entering your waters.
→ And that only happens when you've already decided the Strait belongs to you.
This is the most dangerous naval standoff since the Cuban Missile Crisis.
Prepare accordingly.
Most people won't see this. RT to change that.

The use of Chinese satellites is proving to be a game changer for Iran this time.
Last year, during the 12-day conflict, Iran relied on GPS, and its missiles did not have very high accuracy. But this time, Iran is using Chinese satellite navigation systems, which has significantly improved the accuracy of its missiles and drones, possibly to about one meter or even less. As a result, they are striking targets more precisely.
Earlier, the United States and Israel could jam or spoof GPS signals, but with a different satellite system, countering it becomes much more difficult even impossible for adversaries.
