By both sides.
Then get your info from the neutral even if it requires fighting the brainwashing that would peg it as "conspiracy theory".

BTW, do you know the conspiracy theory behind conspiracy theory?

I was blown away by Mike Huckleberry calling "settler violence" terrorism the other day so anything can happen at this point.

The brainwashing is falling apart and it has no future so expect the worst of the worst to happen regardless of how far fetched. Zionism has shown its ass and its desperate. They are going to use nukes but in order to do that its going to take an event that is blamed on Iran or Islam to pull off. Just hope you arent part of the lives sacrificed to do it.

IRGC says it attacked 10 ships, including two US vessels and eight oil tankers. US military says it destroyed five Iranian oil tankers. Can’t see this lowering the price of fuel.

Iran also said it had fired ballistic missiles at a base used by U.S. forces in Jordan. Attacks by both sides since the end of August have shattered a month of relative calm, with the U.S. and Iran hitting military, shipping and energy assets. Recent days have also seen an escalation in fighting between Saudi Arabia and the Houthis in Yemen, a second ⁠theatre of war that threatens global energy supplies from the Middle East.

In recent weeks Washington had boasted of increasing success guiding tankers through the strait, which carried a fifth of oil supplies before the war. But any such gradual reopening appears to have been set back by a resumption of fighting this month.

Iran producing ballistic missiles again, long after Operation Epic Fury ended: report
The U.S. was engaged in this conflict on two fronts: one, at the request of Israel, and one in right of self-defence.

Iran is making ballistic missiles, once again.


According to a report from the Wall Street Journal on Thursday, Tehran is manufacturing both liquid- and solid-fuel missiles, negating what the United States called a major accomplishment of Operation Epic Fury.

“As President Trump has said, the United States is watching Iran and has eyes on their every move,” a White House official told The New York Post.

The primary goal of Epic Fury was to “destroy Iranian offensive missiles, destroy Iranian missile production, destroy [Iran’s] navy and other security infrastructure,” and, finally, ensure that Iran “will never have nuclear weapons,” the U.S. State Department said back in April.

The U.S. was engaged in this conflict on two fronts: one, at the request of Israel, and one in right of self-defence. The operation was launched on Feb. 28 of this year and ended on May 5.

U.S. claims 85% of Iran’s defence flattened
The bombings struck at the heart of Iran’s leadership in the early days of the conflict when Ali Khamenei was killed on Feb. 28, triggering retaliatory missiles and thousands of drones from Iran across the Middle East.


Khamenei served as the second supreme leader of Iran from 1989 until his assassination.

The attacks have left enormous damage, thousands of people dead in Iran, Lebanon, Israel, and the Gulf Arab states, and millions of people displaced in the region.

Liquid missiles are fueled just before launching, while solid-fuel missiles can be stored for later use.

The U.S. government claims that 85% of Iran’s defence industrial base was flattened during the offensive, hereby destroying most of Iran’s ballistic missiles, launcher vehicles, and long-range attack drones.

Based on Thursday’s report, it appears some of Iran’s missile-making capability endured the bombings, with Tehran using leftover components instead of enacting a new supply line.

According to a Reuters/Ipsos poll, Americans are unhappy with the war, with 25% supporting it.

Trump is steadfast about his actions.

“I don’t believe in the word regret,” he told Fox News’ Laura Ingraham. “You can always question yourself a little bit. And a few people have asked me that. If I had it to do again, I’d do exactly as I did.”

Anthropic says Yemen fighters used AI to seek guided weapons
Anthropic said it had "identified a cell of threat actors based in northern Yemen running three weapons development programs."

Paris, France, Sept 11, 2026 (AFP) — A group in Yemen attempted to use Anthropic’s Claude chatbot to build guided rockets and missiles, the U.S. firm has revealed, as Iran-backed Houthi rebels are on the offensive in the country.


In a report published Thursday on how it had prevented illegal uses of Claude in several countries, Anthropic said it had “identified a cell of threat actors based in northern Yemen running three weapons development programs.”

Those were “a guided rocket that used a commodity phone-class flight computer with final-phase homing guidance; a multi-stage ballistic missile with a stated range goal above 2,000 kilometres; and a multi-variant missile… that included a hypersonic glide vehicle variant”.

The cell used Claude to develop guidance, navigation and control software for the airborne weapons that would have otherwise required a team of engineers.

“We do not have evidence the actors succeeded in fielding an operational device; but they did test-fire a guided rocket,” Anthropic said.


“This field test appears to have failed: within hours, the actors returned to Claude to work out why it failed.”

Anthropic said it had banned the relevant accounts as soon as it had detected the illegal activity.

While the company did not identify the actors in question, it is likely to involve the Houthis, who control much of northern Yemen, including the capital, Sanaa.

The revelation comes at a time when the Iran-backed militants have launched a wide-ranging offensive across the country towards the strategic Bab al-Mandeb strait, which connects Europe to Asia.

On Friday, the Houthis claimed control of a Red Sea island in the middle of the Bab al-Mandeb shipping lane, completing their push to control the area.

The Houthi capture of Yemen's Red Sea coastline is reshaping the balance of power in the Gulf, strengthening Iran's hand and confronting Saudi Arabia and its neighbours with a difficult choice: absorb mounting costs or seek accommodation with Tehran.
1789332346593.jpeg
By securing a position overlooking Bab el-Mandeb, one of the world's most important shipping arteries, the Iran-aligned group has opened a second pressure point, threatening the Saudi oil exports diverted from the Strait of Hormuz.
1789332381894.jpegThe calculation, according to regional officials and analysts, is straightforward: ‌by threatening Red Sea shipping while Iran chokes off Hormuz, Tehran and the Houthis can raise oil prices and fuel inflation while narrowing the region's prospects of relying on Washington to resolve the crisis.

Riyadh rerouted much of its crude through Red Sea ports since the war effectively closed the Strait on the opposite side of the Arabian Peninsula, but on Friday it closed the pipeline that carried the ⁠oil after it came under attack.

Trump's reported refusal to agree to a Saudi request for the U.S. to strike the Houthis, combined with mounting economic costs, is reinforcing a view in some Gulf capitals that negotiations with Tehran are no longer a choice but a necessity for self-preservation, regional sources told Reuters.

The Iranian backed Houthis, fighting the Saudi-backed, internationally recognised government, last week seized control of Yemen's Red Sea coast and the Bab al-Mandab Strait, which has become vital as the wider US-Iran war chokes the Strait of Hormuz.

The Bab al-Mandab waterway has become essential for Saudi oil exports, with Iran continuing to block the Hormuz strait as part of the Middle East war, but the Houthis have declared a maritime blockade on Riyadh.

The renewed fighting in Yemen comes as the wider regional war remains stalemated. On Monday, a proposed meeting between Gulf states and Iran over the future of Hormuz was postponed, with Tehran accusing Riyadh of using Yemen as a "pretext" to delay the talks.

The ‌upsurge of fighting ⁠in Yemen poses a dilemma for Washington, which is under pressure to aid its Saudi allies but anxious not to expand the costly war to a new theatre. Trump, who attended a golf tournament at one of his resorts in Ireland, said he expected the Iran war to end shortly after the elections in November, after which the price of oil would "drop like a rock"?

Cheap like borscht!

It's $11.10 ($2.92L X 3.79) for a US gallon in Metro Vancouver.

Friday I fly to Regina to sign a stack of cheques. Just shy of $20K more than last year.

G.W. Bush can proudly proclaim he lead the 2nd stupidest and most pointless war in US history.

Thank you Netanyahu and JKK.
