U.S. Starts Iranian Air Strikes Again! An Extensive Update Of The War With Iran! THE TRUTH!

James Kaufman, World News Report Today. I am a bit under the weather and will get some help with this article so I can be fresh for the live which will follow this extensive update. US starts Iranian air strikes again. An extensive update of the war in Iran. U.S. forces struck Iranian air defense systems early on Nov. 7, hours after Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps claimed it had shot down another American drone over Qeshm Island in the Strait of Hormuz. President Donald Trump told reporters Saturday that the strikes were minor and that U.S. forces knocked out an Iranian anti-aircraft device. In about 15 minutes, maybe five. Washington has not confirmed the loss of any drone. Trump also said talks through mediators were continuing. We are talking to Iran. We have been, he said. Well, we all know that is not the truth, and I presently am waiting for Trump to order a further retreat and claim victory, even though no victory was ever even close. According to Iranian state media, Iran is doing well in the war. However, no outside source has confirmed the IRGC's claims of drone shoot-downs and tanker damage. We do know it happened because the air defense systems they took down were right in the straits on Qeshm Island. The IRGC said it shot down two MQ-1 drones over Qeshm on November 4 and November 6, counting them as its 15th and 16th of the war. It also claimed to have downed an MQ-9 Reaper over the strait on November 4. As of that date, it put its combined total at 68 MQ-1 and MQ-9 drones since the war began, and I fully believe them over our government, unfortunately. The IRGC also said naval mines destroyed four tankers on November 4 alone, as I reported to you. This happened when ships leaving the Persian Gulf took a route Iran has declared prohibited. Also, as I already reported, Iran said that it had seized two vessels, And that two more tankers struck mines on November 6th, as I also reported. CBS News reported, No confirmation of any of these incidents from maritime officials. U.S. Central Command, CENTCOM, which says U.S. forces cleared the main shipping lanes of mines, which of course has turned out to be another lie, and the IRGC early claimed this was completely false. Most of the ship that burned up hid mines. Only two or three were directly attacked out of the 10 ships on fire last week. On November 5, the UK Maritime Trade Operations Centre, which reports attacks on commercial shipping, said a tanker had been hit by two unidentified projectiles about 50 nautical miles north of Madinat-as-Shamal, Qatar. The United States is enforcing a naval blockade of Iranian ports and oil terminals with more than 10,000 personnel. CENTCOM commander admiral Brad Cooper said on October 30th that Iran had exported no oil since the blockade was reimposed in mid-July and that IRGC naval forces were absent from the strait. I didn't see the IRGC out there at all, he said. Iran's navy is all at the bottom of the sea. Well, they set afire 10 ships last week and took over two others, so I guess the admiral is incorrect to put it nicely. During an October 25 visit to the strait, Cooper said, This visit underscores our strong commitment to continued freedom of navigation through the Strait of Hormuz. CENTCOM said U.S. forces had helped Gulf partners export more than 1.5 billion barrels of crude oil since summer, and supported the passage of more than 3,000 commercial vessels through the strait over the previous six months, which is hard to do when you have retreated into the Arabian Sea. So they'd put their toe into the water meaning the strait for a few hours and actually sent a ship into the strait of Hormuz. Another victory for the US. Well not really as the main portion of the blockade ships and forces has retreated outside of the Persian Gulf completely again into the Arabian Sea. Iran has continued buying military goods despite the blockade. A Reuters investigation found that Iran had imported at least $2 billion in military equipment, explosives, and heavy trucks since January 2025 through a network of more than 5,000 entities. On November 4, the State Department sanctioned two individuals and one entity based in Belarus, Russia, and Nigeria for their roles in Iran's efforts to obtain shoulder-fired air defense missiles Iran is also seeking more weapons from Russia. On November 5, the Financial Times reported that Russia had agreed to supply Iran with 90 helicopter-mounted launchers for precision-guided missiles. According to United24 Media, the launchers are APUL models designed for Mi-28 attack helicopters. Each carries two Ataka missiles, which Russia has used against Ukraine since 2022. Russian defense industry documents obtained by the Ukrainian group Dallas Analytics show a 2024-2025 production schedule listing China and a customer coded K-10 as foreign buyers. A source told the Financial Times that K-10 is the designation Russia's state arms agency uses for Iran. On November 5, Vladimir Putin received Ali Rezaei Secretary of Iran's Supreme National Security Council at the Kremlin, the two discussed a gas pipeline from Russia to Iran. Although Iran holds the world's second-largest natural gas reserves, it is turning to Russia for supplies as war damage and underinvestment threaten to deepen its energy crisis. Iran International reported that Rezaei had been sent to Moscow to seek S-400 air defenses. Iran also faces accusations of directing the Houthis in Yemen. The Houthis seized Yemen's western Red Sea coast and the Bab al-Mandab area in September. And Saudi Arabia has accused Iran of encouraging the escalation. The Houthi rebels have been giving Saudi Arabia hell now for months, including destroying its largest international airport. On November 3, Yemeni Interior Minister Major General Ibrahim Houthi, supposed one of the good guys, said 21 foreign experts. Fourteen from the IRGC and seven from Hezbollah were helping the Houthis plan and direct military operations from Hodeidah, Sana'a, Sa'dah, Hajjah, Amran and Koka. He said their specialties included ballistic missiles, drones, electronic warfare, selecting commercial ships as targets, explosive-laden boats, autonomous submarines and mine-laying. Their work, he said. Threatened shipping in the Bab al-Mandab Strait and the Red Sea. Al Jazeera's report does not describe evidence supporting the claims. Hezbollah's media relations office denied the accusations on November 4. The following day, Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Esmaeil Bagheri strongly rejected claims about the presence of Iranian military advisers in Yemen. He was also responding to EU foreign policy chief Kaja Kallas, who had accused Tehran of interfering there. On November 4, Tehran marked 13 Aban, the anniversary of the 1979 US embassy takeover, with rallies at more than 900 locations, including a march in Tehran from Palestine Square toward the former US embassy. Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei said a change in Washington's political leadership following the U.S. midterm elections would not alter U.S. policy toward Iran. He warned that Iran would respond on a much broader scale to any new U.S. attacks. They have also indicated that they possess missiles with much longer ranges that Western governments have believed and said they could strike anywhere on the planet. You may recall their precision strikes on Diego Garcia, when no one believed they had that capability. So no surrendering, unless it is going to be Trump claiming a false victory and just escalation. What a mess Trump's ego has gotten us into this time. The only solution I can come up with which would not be dismissed by the rest of the globe is numerous tactical nuclear missiles. Bottom line, the US cuts bait and leaves or this goes on forever kinda like Vietnam. Please make sure to give us a thumbs up and please share. God bless you all.
