Hormuz Strait: U.S. Soldiers and Dogs Not Allowed
Trump made a phone call to Netanyahu, lasting over 30 minutes, discussing the possibility of resuming hostilities with Iran. According to reports, Trump briefly briefed Netanyahu on his recent diplomatic visits.
Shortly afterward, the President posted on his authentic social platform: “Time is rapidly running out—Iran’s government had better make a decision quickly, or there won’t be anything left of them (they better get moving, FAST, or there won’t be anything left of them).”
Iranians have erected signs along the shores of the Hormuz Strait, written in both English and Persian: “U.S. Soldiers and Dogs Not Allowed.” This has become the latest viral hotspot. (Figures 1 & 2, sourced from Iran’s state-run Press TV social media account)
The latest abnormal development is that all civilian passenger flights have disappeared from airspace above Iran and Iraq.
Two U.S. Air Force refueling aircraft are flying above Iraq, but their position signals have also been turned off. (Figures 3 & 4)
Reports indicate that Trump is expected to convene his national security team in the Situation Room on Tuesday to discuss military options. Axios reported that he met with Vance, Rubio, Witkoff, and CIA Director Ratcliffe on Saturday to discuss Iran strategy.
U.S. media report that preparations for a large-scale attack on Iran are complete. The strike plan includes targeting oil terminals on Kharg Island, operations against nuclear facilities, and attacks on military infrastructure.
Meanwhile, Iranian President Pezeshkian shared an image post stating: “The Abarkuh Cypress Tree, one of Asia’s oldest surviving living organisms, has stood rooted on land known as Iran for at least 4,500 years.” (Figure 5)
