Iran & the Middle East
A Review of Recent Iranian War-making Efforts in the Persian Gulf and Middle East
Destabilizing Activities in Middle East & Eastern Europe. Advanced Ballistic Missiles Program. Nuclear Weapons Program has Enriched Enough Weapons-Grade Uranium to Build 10 Nuclear Bombs (June 2025). Iran Supports Militias in Iraq, Syria, Gaza, Lebanon, Yemen. Alliance with Russia and China. Supplying Weapons to Russia for the Ukraine War. Selling Sanctioned Oil to China.
Since the 1980s, the nation of Iran has long been engaged in an "undeclared' shooting war with the United States and the British directly through official Iranian military forces and through third-party Iranian-backed military forces throughout the Middle East. Israel and other Western nations have also been a part of this reign of terror.
THE MAIN AREAS OF CONFLICT with Iran center on:
THE PERSIAN GULF: Their military threats against international shipping including the shooting at and ceasing of foreign vessels in international waters.
NUCLEAR WEAPONS DEVELOPMENT: Iran's continued development of nuclear weapons and ballistic missiles technology programs.
INTERNATIONAL TERRORISM: Since the Islamic Revolution in the late 1970s, Iran is known to be the largest developer of terrorism against opponents, Israel, 'the West,' including the United States who they call 'the Great Satan.' For decades, Iran has funded, supported, organized, and trained a variety of covert action groups (assassinations, kidnappings, spying, cyber hacking), militia groups (armies), para-military groups, and terrorist groups mostly in the Middle East and Europe.
SILENCING OF OPPONENTS - WORLDWIDE: This seems to be a common issue with authoritarian (non-democratic) nations, and it is no less a major problem with Iran. Russia has been know harass, use violence against, kidnap, and assassinate opponents worldwide - regardless of their nationality or where they are located.

Without Electricity... Can You Live Like It's 1880!?
THE MOST SERIOUS THREAT WE FACE IS...
The Power Grid being hacked/disabled if at war.
“If the grid went down for a long enough time…
90 percent of the U.S. population would die from starvation, lack of water, and social disruption. We are talking about total devastation.”
-- Ambassador Henry Cooper, Former Director of U.S. Strategic Defense
HOTSPOT: Iran & the Middle East
War with Iran!
Okay. Be Honest. How many of you knew this one was coming? Did this one catch you by surprise while our attention was diverted on Ukraine and China?
U.S. Troops in the Middle East continue to be attacked directly by Iran & Iranian-backed proxy forces.
Israel at War and under siege on all sides by Iranian-backed proxy forces.
The Nation of Iran continues to attack and seize oil tankers in international waters in the Persian Gulf and continues threatening U.S. & British Navy Ships.
International Shipping continues to be the target of attacks by Iranian-backed proxy forces in the Middle East.
Iran NOW (June 2025) Capable of Completing Nuclear Weapons. Iran already has developed advanced ballistic missiles that can reach Europe and has used them on U.S. Bases in the Middle East. The U.S. and Israel threatening military action to prevent them going nuclear.
U.S. Power Grid expected to be attacked in a first wave hacking attack by Iran if a full-scale war blows up.
THINGS ARE HEATING UP. For now, this should also be on everyone's radar because it could easily and quickly flash boil up into a full blown war.
