[Breaking: Iran Warns Kuwaiti Port Tankers and Crew: Evacuate Immediately!] Iran has just issued an emergency warning, ordering crew members aboard tankers near Kuwait and Bahrain to evacuate "immediately from their vessels," regardless of whether they are docked or anchored at sea. Otherwise, they "will be targeted."
This is a serious and explicit warning following the U.S. bombing of Iranian tankers, less than 48 hours later.
The statement accuses Kuwait and Bahrain of harboring U.S. military forces and being complicit in American military operations: Given the atrocities committed by America's terrorist military, which has attacked multiple Iranian tankers, Iran hereby issues a warning to all tanker crews within the ports of Kuwait and Bahrain—these ports are hosts to these terrorists and accomplices in their crimes! Evacuate immediately, or become a target of attack!
Naval Commander of the Revolutionary Guards, Azimi, said: “We will turn the seas into hell for our enemies.”
Iran has suffered greatly in its economic warfare campaign against Bessent, even facing restrictions on its own gasoline supply.
Abundant, low-cost gasoline had long been considered an unquestionable entitlement by Iranians—now that too is severely compromised.
The hardships may be endured by the Revolutionary Guards, but ordinary Iranians may not be able to withstand them.
When the time comes, it will test how many Iranians can tolerate hardship out of patriotism—because every limit has its breaking point.
The U.S. military’s unprecedented destruction of three so-called “shadow fleet” vessels over the weekend far exceeded Iran’s tolerance threshold. This was a strategic strike at the root of Iran’s economy, leaving Iran with no choice but to respond.
Iran’s retaliation will be doubled, and it will also play a game with oil prices—deliberately driving prices up to provoke dissatisfaction among American voters, thereby forcing Trump out of his comfort zone.
Iran clearly understands that this is a battle for survival; retreat means becoming Venezuela, retreat means becoming Iraq.
In a do-or-die situation, Iran will hold nothing back. The U.S. aircraft carrier group would be wise to keep its distance from Iran.
This warning directed at Kuwait and Bahrain is Iran’s public signal, following attacks on tankers, that immediate retaliation is imminent.
It implies that within the next few hours, numerous tankers may face attacks.
Fasten your seatbelts.
As I write, the strikes have already begun...
