Iran is gearing up for a long war of attrition against Israel and the US Submitted by Marco Carnelos on Fri, 03/06/2026 - 18:14 There are no more red lines for Tehran - just a slow, calculated strategy to exploit the blind spots of Washington and its allies A photo released by Iran’s Revolutionary Guard Corps in February 2026 shows a rocket being fired during a military exercise in the Strait of Hormuz (Sepah News/AFP) Off A massive Israeli strike last weekend, reportedly aided by US intelligence tracking, flattened the compound housing Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei and many of his closest aides. It was the opening salvo in the long-awaited US-Israeli war on Iran, even though the latter had just put forward a significant proposal during negotiations in Geneva.
