Luftangriffe – Hafen Shahid Haghani. Bandar Abbas, Iran. 7. Juli 2026

Lots of reports on social media of heavy explosions and the sounds of jets (maybe missiles?) above the city. Edit: Also now reports of strikes at Qeshm Island and in cities all over Iran as far north as Tabriz.

Something like 12-15 US refueling tankers are circling above the gulf too.

Edit 2: Tonight in South Lebanon as well. Videos and people on social media are saying heavy airstrikes, artillery fire, flares, and ground fighting being reported in the Ali al-Taher heights. In the direction of Nabatieh there’s apparently heavy fighting in the hills tonight.

It’s wild how I always hear about this stuff first from this sub. I even knew this was probably going to happen today and was checking headlines throughout the day, still, heard it here first.

This is in accordance to clause 15 of the peace agreement, small tit for tat skirmishes are still allowed as silly banter to let off some pent up frustrations

And yet this will do nothing to re-open the Strait.

Trump is finding out the hard way that short of [a massive ground invasion ](https://pbs.twimg.com/media/HDSVNTQXsAA3Xwy?format=png&name=large)requiring a minimum of several hundred thousand troops to fight in an environment that would make Afghanistan look a picnic, there is no military solution to this conflict. He will have to make serious and genuine concessions to Iran or the Strait will remain closed. The fact that he murdered the entire old guard “moderate” leadership make things even more difficult for him.

The JCPOA came to be in the first place because the US leadership at the time concluded that there was no viable military solution to the Iran issue, so they opted for the least terrible alternative possible. Today the military reality of the Gulf situation has not changed, but thanks to the current administration, the JCPOA is but toilet paper now and Iran will not agree to return to the status quo. The only realistic solution is a political settlement a lot less favorable to the US than the JCPOA was, which includes Iran’s ownership of the Strait.

It did not have to be this way, but the US electorate, US Supreme court and US congress through apathy, ineptitude and sheer negligence, allowed this shit show to happen, so now they will have to deal with the consequences.

This is America’s “Suez Canal” moment.

Traffic is way calmer there with bombs going off in the background than most Atlanta traffic basically always.
