Iran-Israel war: images of the strikes on Tehran emerge, America in 'turmoil'
They were said to be on the brink. Now they've jumped. The Iran-Israel war is no longer a threat; it's a reality engulfing the Middle East. And like a slow-acting poison, the United States is being dragged into the vortex. This Thursday, March 12th, following unprecedented Israeli strikes on Tehran, a genuine state of American turmoil is playing out in Washington and across the region.
Tehran's wounds: raw testimony from inside the city
While official Iranian channels tried to reassure their audience, local reporters, operating in deep secrecy, captured images of the inferno. This footage, which reached us through informal channels, reveals residential areas in the east of the capital blown to bits by the blasts. Ambulance sirens wailed all night. You can see entire families clearing rubble with their bare hands, searching for survivors under a pallid glow. These images, shot in fear and secrecy, are the only truth that matters this morning: Tehran is a wounded city, and the regime is reeling.
What the satellites show: Israel's war machine delivered a massive blow
Analysis of satellite images, obtained from sources close to intelligence agencies, lifts the lid on the IDF's real target. We were told to expect retaliation; what we're seeing is a massive, surgical operation.
- Imam Khomeini International Airport: At least two runways are out of action. Perfectly round craters are visible, a tell-tale sign of precision strikes. The goal: to cripple all air links with the outside world.
- Bandar Abbas Naval Base: Three Iranian navy vessels, including a frigate, are ablaze or partially submerged. The port's air defences were silenced before they could even react.
- Air defences around Tehran: The Russian S-300 batteries, Tehran's pride and joy, are now just smoking wrecks. The strikes systematically targeted the "eyes" of Iran's defence network, paving the way for potential, deeper raids.
The message is clear: Israel can strike anywhere, anytime, and no one can stop it.
America in 'turmoil': Is Trump pulling the strings?
In Washington, it's a case of the cold sweats. The term American turmoil has never been more fitting. Donald Trump, who promised to extract the US from endless wars, now finds himself trapped. Did his Israeli allies (Benyamin Netanyahu at the forefront) act with his quiet approval? Neoconservatives are demanding a direct strike on Iranian oil facilities. The Pentagon, meanwhile, is watching the satellite images and seeing its own Gulf bases within range of Iranian missiles. The White House is paralysed: every hour that passes without a clear response further erodes American credibility, yet any military move could spark a regional powder keg.
Meanwhile, in Tehran, the mullahs are going for broke. The population is the one copping it. Oil prices are skyrocketing, global markets are in a spin, and we watch, helpless, as the old world goes up in flames. One thing's for sure: the Iran-Israel war has just entered an even more dangerous phase, and the shadow of the United States looms over every single spark.
