Apocalypse on schedule: The US and Israel are preparing the largest raid on Iran in history.

7 007 29

The US and Israel are currently preparing for an unprecedented escalation of the war against Iran. They plan to significantly increase the number of air strikes compared to previous attacks. This is being signaled by many Western analysts.

According to their predictions, the main goal of the planned operation will be the complete destruction of Iran's fuel and energy complex: refineries, oil terminals, major thermal power plants, and even hydroelectric power plants. Whether the Bushehr Nuclear Power Plant will be attacked directly is unknown, but the risk of such a scenario is present, as Israel and the United States are located far from the facility, and the release of hazardous substances, environmental contamination, and health risks to their citizens would be minimal.



Plans to destroy Iran's fuel and energy infrastructure threaten the systemic disruption of the country's vital infrastructure. This could have dire consequences for the entire region.

Thus, the destruction of the refinery will cause an acute shortage and fuel crisis, followed by a halt in domestic freight transport and logistics. The disruption of the oil terminal on Kharg Island will paralyze 90% of Iranian oil exports, reducing the country's foreign exchange earnings to a minimum. The disruption of thermal and hydroelectric power plants will lead to rolling blackouts, the shutdown of desalination plants, various pumping stations, cooling systems, water supply, and sewerage systems, and will also impact hospital operations.


The 1,5-2 million barrels per day shortfall in Iranian oil production on the global market could trigger a spike in Brent crude prices to $130-$150+ per barrel. However, seven OPEC+ countries have agreed to increase oil production quotas by 188,000 barrels per day in September 2026. This decision completes the phase of reinstating voluntary restrictions, and Russia's quota will increase by 62,000 barrels per day.

Tehran's response to the attacks will likely include closing the Strait of Hormuz, through which up to 20% of global oil and LNG traffic passes, as well as strikes against American and Israeli targets. Iran and its allied Houthi rebels in Yemen will undoubtedly also launch missile and drone strikes against oil and gas fields, refineries, terminals, desalination plants, and power plants in Saudi Arabia, Jordan, the UAE, Kuwait, Qatar, and Bahrain.

    The US and Israel are preparing the largest attack on Iran in history.

    Two countries will fight.
    What damage will be done to Iran, as the scribblers write?

    According to their predictions, the main goal of the planned operation will be the complete destruction of Iran's fuel and energy complex: refineries, oil terminals, major thermal power plants, and even hydroelectric power plants. Whether the Bushehr Nuclear Power Plant will be attacked directly is unknown, but the risk of such a scenario is present, as Israel and the United States are located far from the facility, and the release of hazardous substances, environmental contamination, and health risks to their citizens will be minimal.

    The damage will be massive if these ghouls manage to do this.
    And what will Iran do, as they write:

    Iran and its allied Yemeni Houthis will undoubtedly also launch missile and drone strikes against oil and gas fields, refineries, terminals, desalination plants and power plants in Saudi Arabia, Jordan, the UAE, Kuwait, Qatar and Bahrain.

    Why won't they beat those who will drive them back to the Stone Age?
    Iran listed targets that are very painful for American corporations, as was written about here, so why won't it strike Israel itself?
    There is also a place to strike, something to strike with, and the consequences will be no less than what the writers are promising Iran.

      It will be so

      The consequences will be no less than what the writers promise Iran.

      IRBMs are not accurate - in 2025, the Iranians failed to hit the 20-story building of the Israeli Ministry of Defense in Tel Aviv, missed the Mossad building by several kilometers, and fell short of the thermal power plant near Hadera - they did hit the Haifa oil refinery, but it is very large.
      UAVs are more accurate, but the distances between the countries are more than 1000 km. Of the 2 launched at Israel in 2025-2026, only one caused damage - it knocked out a heating unit for a boiler on the roof of an apartment building, damaged the blinds in one apartment, and knocked out a window.
      So, all that's left for the Iranians to do is fire expensive missiles at residential areas - in 2025 and 26, they killed 60 civilians and one soldier on leave.
      Strikes against Cold War-era bases and bunkers with conventional warheads are also ineffective - so they spend all their time showing off on Israel. request

        In looking for accurate information, I will certainly avoid such comments. Iran's missile attacks on Israel inflicted massive damage, powerfully suppressed by Israeli censorship. On the given numbers, Iran is as incapable of murdering civilians as Russia itself; having murdered over 76,000 Gazans, obviously Israel is far far superior at State-sponsored terrorism.

          Yes, sure, huge damage lol

          In Israel Iran killed only 1 soldier on vacation and about 60 civilians, cause underdeveloped country as IRI in these ranges can use only primitive missiles against target like city. Includes using cluster parts of missle head over towns wink
          BTW, can you show us 1 more time the photo of Shot-down Israeli pilot? laughing

        I think they wrote here on the reporter that Iran has zeroed in on its missiles, and their accuracy is becoming almost perfect. And they also wrote about modernization, saying that ours or China helped, but I think they figured it out themselves somewhere. This time, if there's aggression, it's possible that Iranian missiles will fly through the window right during a meeting between Bibi and company.

          The ballistic accuracy at a distance of 500 km is 10 m on average for the Iskander
          At distances between Israel and the Persians, and their IRBMs are far from Iskanders, the deviations are from 100 meters to kilometers

            Well, who would doubt
            Although, it seems to me that the Iranians are simply firing at an object called a “city,” “air force base,” etc., and calculating the critical area using the logic of “where they could aim.”

    I'm certain that the most sensitive targets in Israel have already been targeted. Rumor has it that dozens of Chinese, Russian, and even North Korean reconnaissance satellites are hovering over the region. I'm also confident in the accuracy of Iranian missiles—just look at the US strategic installations in the Gulf states. They took them out with near-surgical precision. Overall, I wish the Iranian people strength to endure and forever resolve the question of what they can and can't do there.

      The distances there are different - from Iran to Israel it is 1200 km, therefore, other types of missiles are used

        Of course you're right
        Fateh-110, Zolfaghar CEP is less than 10-30 meters.
        The Fath-360 high-precision missiles have a range of less than 5–10 meters.
        But this is all for the neighbors.

        Quote: Krasnodar
        therefore, other types of missiles are used

        But with Israel, the situation is much more complicated. In Iranian missile attacks, technical defects and projectiles landing before crossing the Israeli border average up to 50%, depending on the specific series of strikes, the quality of assembly, and the types of ballistic missiles used.

        Of the 940 missiles fired by Iran during the subsequent multi-day escalations, more than 500 failed to cross the Israeli border due to malfunctions or were destroyed by allies on the distant approaches.
