 IRAN WAR: 26/03/2026

Mr. Trump’s Doctrine: “maximum pressure, followed by diplomacy.” But it seems not working on IRAN! This Card is played before, and known!!000 Does Mr. Trump has any other card??

GCC Secretary-General al-Budaiwi states that Iran’s actions, including the attacks and closing the Strait of Hormuz, has “overcome all red lines”.

“They closed the Strait of Hormuz and imposed fees for passing through it, which is an aggression and a violation of the United Nations agreement on the law of the sea. Also, some vessels have been kidnapped or attacked.

“International navigation has also been harmed. The GCC countries are the economic lung of the world, producing 16 billion barrels of crude oil, which is 22 percent of the total world production. These countries export 27 percent to the world.”

The Iranian parliament is preparing a draft law that would mandate the collection of tolls and duties from ships and tankers transiting the Strait of Hormuz, treating the waterway like a standard transit corridor. It is reported that Iran is charging 2 MM USD per vessel per TRIP.

The Times reported last night that the British Navy will lead the “Hormuz Coalition” to reopen the straits. Britain will also deploy mine‑clearing capabilities alongside the United States and France.

Head of Iran’s Revolutionary Guard (Navy), Alireza Tangsiri, has been killed in an Israeli operation, according to Israel’s defense minister. He commanded the closure of the Strait of Hormuz, and was targeted in a strike overnight, and got eliminated.

According to The New York Times, Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman has urged Trump to press on with the war against Iran, calling it a “historic opportunity” to reshape the Middle East. In a series of conversations over the past week, Prince pushed for accelerating military actions—including strikes on energy infrastructure and possible ground operations—arguing that only regime change could eliminate the “long-term threat” to the Gulf.

If IRAN is got rid off the present corrosive Islamist Regime—Gulf will be rid of the darkest spot.

The list of conditions for peace, set by IRAN,  implies three things:

The Revolutionary Guards have consolidated power within the fractured regime and they are just as hardliners as their predecessors.

They believe they are winning.

There will be no agreement with USA.

A U.S. official reportedly called the demands “ridiculous and unrealistic.” A fifth grader would not agree.

ISRAEL HAS PREPARED A HIT LIST:

Bagher Ghalibaf ;Ali Larijani; G. Mohseni Ejei.

IRAN’s hit list are USA’s top 10 Multinational companies, and their Heads in GULF.

Amidst exchange of talks of ceasefire mediated by Pakistan, (Ishaq Dar@MIshaqDar50) IRAN is bombed by Israel and USA, and Hezbollah is firing missiles on Israel. Israel is putting boots to march on Lebanon. IRAN is firing Missiles on Israel, and Drones on G-Countries!

The atmosphere is smelling blood & death in Middle-East, but all are tired!

The war may eventually stop with no winner, but all losers; some more, some less! And without achieving the result Mr. TRUMP  aspired for!! Threat to the ‘LION OF THE DESERT’ will remain same.

Today’s 18.00 Hr. information: The Iranian government rejected President Trump’s proposal to end the war. In the 15-point proposal, the U.S. offered sanctions relief in exchange for Iran ending its nuclear program. Iran vowed to continue fighting until a list of its own conditions are met.

Trump is prepared to “unleash hell” if Tehran does not make a deal, the White House press secretary said yesterday. Meanwhile, Israel has accelerated strikes to hit key targets before a potential end to the war, unnamed Israeli officials told the New York Times.

USA should have given support to Mr. Trump to close this war at his terms!

MY TAKE: To balance HORMUZ control by IRAN, USA must take KHARG ISLAND. That will bring equilibrium for negotiation. Otherwise—it will be a sell out! Remember—IRAN can fight only about a week more!
