US officials outline 4 “final blow” options against Iran:

Invade or blockade Kharg Island, Iran’s main oil hub.

Invade Larak Island, which helps Iran control the Strait of Hormuz.

Seize Abu Musa and two smaller islands near the Strait’s entrance, claimed by both Iran and the UAE.

Block or seize ships exporting Iranian oil from the eastern Strait.

Some officials say these moves could give more leverage to Trump.

👉personal note: a surprise option five the port chababar port/another location.

The Chief of Staff warned in the cabinet last night: The IDF is going to collapse into itself. I am raising 10 red flags.
​He added: The IDF needs a Draft Law, a Reservist Law, and a Mandatory Service Extension Law right now. The reservists will not hold up.

​The Chief of Staff said these dramatic words in front of the Prime Minister, the heads of the security establishment, and the ministers. As of this moment, no response has been issued on behalf of the IDF.

🇮🇷 More than one million fighters have been organized for ground combat with the United States

A military informed source told Tasnim News Agency:

With the spread of speculation about the possibility of a historic American folly to enter ground combat on the southern front of Iran, a wave of enthusiasm has arisen among Iranian ground fighters to create a historic hell for the Americans on Iranian soil.

He noted: In addition to organizing more than one million people for ground combat, in recent days a huge volume of requests from Iranian youth has poured into the Basij, IRGC, and Army centers to also participate in this combat.

This informed military source continued: The United States wants to open the strait through suicide and self-sacrifice; no problem. We are ready for both them to carry out their suicide strategy and for the strait to remain closed.

🇮🇷⚡️🇺🇸🇮🇱 An Iranian security and political source for Al-Mayadeen:

An Iranian political-security source told Al Mayadeen that the overall framing of current developments, particularly Trump’s five-day deadline, amounts to a new form of deception accompanied by a shift in tactics.

According to the source, on the eighteenth day of the war, US War Secretary Pete Hegseth and Israeli Chief of Staff Eyal Zamir pushed for what was described as a “major strike” against Iran as a way out of the ongoing stalemate. Trump reportedly adopted this idea and signaled it by threatening Iran’s energy infrastructure and central power stations.

However, after receiving a firm Iranian response, warning of immediate retaliation against all energy sources in countries hosting or supporting US aggression, Trump backed down. This, the source said, heightened concerns among the far-right in "Israel", who viewed the move as a betrayal and feared Trump might abruptly end the war while declaring a symbolic US victory.

The source added that there are indications Vice President J.D. Vance’s team and CIA Director John Ratcliffe are working to sideline Benjamin Netanyahu from Trump’s inner decision-making circle. At the same time, Secretary of State Marco Rubio is reportedly coordinating closely with Netanyahu, with both sides strongly advocating for what they call a final, decisive military strike as the only path to ending the war in victory.

From the outset, the source noted, the CIA has pushed for decisions based on realistic assessments and verified intelligence about Iran’s internal situation, rather than assumptions or wishful thinking.

The source stressed that the Islamic Republic remains determined, under all scenarios, to ensure that Washington understands this must be its last war against Iran and to prevent Trump from claiming any form of victory. Given the possibility of deception or sudden moves by adversaries, Iran is focusing on preparing for a comprehensive, large-scale confrontation while continuously studying all potential war scenarios to contain any unexpected escalation or surprise attack.
