US launches fresh strikes as Iran closes Strait of Hormuz | BBC News
Video Overview & Insights
The US launched a fresh wave of strikes in response to Iranian forces hitting a ship passing through the Strait of Hormuz.
Mentioned in our holy book that, The earth (Dharitri maa) will be so hurt, sorrow, painful and destroyed by the human being but not plants and animals. So, if this beautiful nature can be made by the human being then they also can destroy this beautiful nature by their eggo or their ugly thinking of power attitude brain only. So, come down and think peace at least for the earth only which is only in our soler system or leave in our gallexy only. We are not a GOD. We are a kind of a microscopic dust only in comparison with this soller system and the earth.
In response to the American strikes, Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) said the waterway was closed until further notice and launched attacks on US bases and allies in the region.
Now United States knows what happens when they elect a new york city conman and reality TV actor for president who then staff his administration with more reality TV actors.
The IRGC said it had hit a US base in Jordan, while the United Arab Emirates, Qatar, Kuwait and Bahrain all responded to missiles and drones from Iran.
The escalation has been done from both sides. It is vital for Iranian side to keep the control over straits for their leverage so they will keep insinuating until they reach the agreement in their favour. While it's said it shouldn't be forgotten that Iranian took control of Hormuz after it was attacked in February otherwise there was no control whatsoever. 😊
It comes after incidents earlier this week in which three commercial tankers were attacked, prompting an exchange of strikes between the US and Iran.
The US is the real liar

Who is not to be trusted here - Iran or the US, with regards to the ceasefire agreement?
@EmmanuelAguwa-lf7zuUSA & Iran show restraint. Negotiate, find solutions & prove we are civilized.
@Kingsley264Terorist attack?
@HobicerdasofficialWhy does Iran still have the military ability to fight? Because Trump lets it happen!!!!!!
@papajon376Why is this taking so long?
@papajon376Funny thing is the gulf nations just sat idly and watch it all burn down. Sad. They dont care why should we.
@Starlight-jmjSo Iran has control of the straights? I find this hard to believe, do they want to see heaven?
@papajon376One thing is for sure: thousands of miles away from their own soil the US is not keeping the peace over there.
@nomeansno2335Fresh like the fresh prince of bel air? The wording of these propaganda tools be it BBC or the german State television will be studied by future historians. Despicable.

@richardmarsden5610Even though Trump used all the bombs the US has, Iran still won't be defeated. You idiots have no idea how big Iran is, with its terrains, and how smart they are (even the women are highly educated). Put it this way, all the bombs, every single bomb the US has, could only destroy A LOT LESS than 0.1% of Iran, and moreover the US is too powerless to destroy their deep and massive tunnel networks. The only way would be to use nukes, but then that'd be the ultimate hypocrisy!

@user-iw2ip2ru6gLooking at the comments here it appears that it’s too late for Labours brownshirts and the BBC. The cat is out of the bag and people have already woken up to the truth. They can ban alternative news or lock millions up for recieving information but soon the people will cancel the bent media outlets and the draconian politicians. Maybe then they will be held accountable and justice will prevail.
@ANDYROBINSONFOLKExecutive Summary.
Sustained aerial operations by United States and Israeli forces have successfully degraded Iran’s surface-level military framework, yet the core of its strategic deterrent remains intact within deeply buried underground networks.
To transition this campaign from containment to total military neutralisation and subsequent regime collapse, a multi-phased operation utilising specialised heavy ordnance is required.
Executing this final phase will necessitate a projected timeline of three to six months of high-intensity operations, focusing heavily on bypassing granite fortifications and severing decentralised command links.
Assessment of Iran’s Remaining Military Capability.
Sustained United States and Israeli air strikes have significantly degraded Iran’s visible military infrastructure.
Commercial satellite imagery and intelligence assessments indicate extensive damage to coastal radar installations, elements of the country’s nuclear infrastructure, and the Khojir missile complex.
Flattened aircraft hangars, cratered runways at Bushehr, and heavily damaged dockyards demonstrate the scale of the campaign.
However, while Iran’s conventional surface infrastructure has suffered considerable losses, its decentralised military command structure remains operational.
Much of the country’s surviving strategic capability has transitioned to heavily fortified underground missile complexes and concealed drone storage facilities.
From these subterranean sites, decentralised Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) units continue to coordinate retaliatory operations, launching ballistic missiles and long-range drones across the Persian Gulf.
Buried deep beneath the Zagros Mountains, Iran’s extensive underground “missile cities” remain the cornerstone of its strategic deterrent. Designed to withstand conventional precision-guided air strikes, these tunnel complexes are believed to contain hardened command centres, blast-resistant assembly halls, independent power and ventilation systems, protected ammunition stores, and concealed launch exits.
This infrastructure enables missile crews to transport, fuel, prepare and launch ballistic missiles before rapidly withdrawing underground, greatly reducing their exposure to follow-up attacks. Iran has similarly dispersed its unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) capability across numerous hidden launch sites.
Mobile launch platforms disguised as civilian freight vehicles, together with hardened shelters and concealed launch ramps, allow drones to be deployed with minimal warning, significantly complicating enemy surveillance and pre-emptive targeting.
By contrast, Iran’s surface naval infrastructure has borne the brunt of the air campaign. Major naval installations, including the principal IRGC Navy base at Bandar Abbas and the strategically important port of Jask, have sustained severe damage to deep-water berths, command facilities, maintenance depots and dry docks. Despite these losses, Iran’s maritime doctrine has adapted rather than collapsed.
The IRGC continues to rely on asymmetric naval warfare, employing missile-armed fast attack craft, explosive drone boats and midget submarines operating from concealed positions within natural coastal caves, mangrove estuaries, small fishing harbours and commercial ports along the Persian Gulf and the Strait of Hormuz.
Current Western intelligence assessments suggest that around half of Iran’s ballistic missile launch capability and UAV force may remain operational within its extensive underground tunnel network despite weeks of sustained aerial bombardment.
These hardened facilities are believed to house solid-fuelled Fateh-110 and Zolfaghar missiles, together with longer-range Emad and Shahab-3 systems, preserving Iran’s ability to threaten regional military installations, shipping lanes and critical energy infrastructure throughout the Gulf.
While Iran’s conventional military infrastructure has undoubtedly been weakened, its underground missile network ensures that it retains a credible retaliatory capability. The conflict has therefore shifted from destroying visible military assets to locating and neutralising deeply buried facilities that remain among the most difficult targets in modern warfare.
To achieve total neutralisation of Iran's deeply buried infrastructure and precipitate a collapse of the current regime, military strategists outline a multi-phased campaign. This final phase requires specialised weaponry, sustained high-intensity operations, and a clear timeline.
Required Specialised Weaponry.
Neutralising the underground "missile cities" buried hundreds of metres inside the Zagros Mountains requires a specialised arsenal, as standard precision-guided munitions are ineffective against deep granite fortifications:
GBU-57A/B Massive Ordnance Penetrator (MOP): This 30,000-pound GPS-guided bomb is the primary weapon required for this task. Unlike the MOAB (Massive Ordnance Air Blast), which explodes on the surface to clear large areas, the MOP is specifically designed to penetrate up to 60 metres (200 feet) of reinforced concrete or rock before detonating. B-2 Spirit and B-21 Raider stealth bombers would need to drop dozens of these systematically on known tunnel entrances, ventilation shafts, and subterranean junctions.
GBU-28 and GBU-72 Penetrators: These 5,000-pound bunker busters would be deployed in "kinetic chaining" operations, where multiple aircraft strike the exact same GPS coordinate repeatedly to drill through deeper rock layers.
The Role of the MOAB (GBU-43/B): While the MOAB lacks the penetration capability to destroy the tunnels themselves, deploying a limited number (e.g., 5 to 10) outside primary mountain egress points would be highly effective.
The immense thermobaric overpressure wave would instantly collapse tunnel entrances, destroy external radar arrays, and asphyxiate personnel inside the immediate ventilation networks.
Next Strategic Steps.
Locating Deep Vent Shafts: Intensive electronic intelligence (ELINT) and thermal imaging must identify the secondary ventilation and power generation shafts of the underground complexes. Sealing these shafts renders the tunnels uninhabitable.
Decapitation Strikes on the Asymmetric Command Structure:
Simultaneously, targeting the subterranean bunkers of the IRGC command structure in Tehran is required to shatter coordination between regional provinces.
Total Maritime and Cyber Blockade:
Combined forces must enforce a complete naval embargo to prevent the smuggling of components for fast-attack craft, while deploying offensive cyber warfare to disable local communications and power grids.
Campaign Timeline to Force Regime Collapse.
Strategic analysts estimate that executing this final, intensive phase would require 3 to 6 months of continuous operations.
While the physical destruction of the underground complexes could be achieved within 4 to 8 weeks of sustained heavy bombing, triggering a complete political regime collapse takes longer.
The subsequent 2 to 4 months would involve exhausting the decentralised internal security forces, cutting off regional supply lines, and creating the structural vacuums necessary to permanently destabilise the central government's control over the provinces.
Global Maritime and Economic Implications.
A prolonged 3-to-6-month campaign introduces severe disruptions to international energy corridors, specifically the Strait of Hormuz.
Given that approximately 20% of the world's petroleum passes through this chokepoint, a sustained total maritime blockade would inevitably trigger global oil price spikes and supply volatility.
While the IRGC's major surface fleets are neutralised, their reliance on asymmetric mine-laying operations and mobile shore-to-ship missiles within hidden coastal coves means that shipping lanes would remain high-risk zones.
International maritime insurers would likely suspend coverage for commercial vessels entering the Persian Gulf during the active bombardment windows, forcing global trade networks to reroute logistics around the Cape of Good Hope, adding significant time and cost to international supply chains.

@arthuralejandro5412Kurdistan can't carve out territory out of turkey,syria or Iraq.Now,its more clearer that Iran will be the unwilling donor.😂😢😢😢😅😅😅
@arthuralejandro5412The IRGC is obliged to give a tough and decisive response to the aggressors
@Benjamin-hg018Is very stupid actions from both sides, no logic only primitive aggression, and this is ruling adults who supposed be a good example for youth, there is no solutions through war and aggression but only diplomacy dialogue and mindfulness! May people in power be blessed with humanity compassion wisdom love and care🙏
