Moon of Alabama, War On Iran: – New Clash Over Strait Passage – Lebanon’s Capitulation Ignites New Civil War
The last days there were two developments in Lebanon and Iran that will likely cause the war to reignite into a much larger conflagration.
Iran insists on having control over the Strait of Hormuz. But at least half of the passage way is under Oman’s jurisdiction.
Oman is, unlike Iran, a member of the UN Convention on the Law of the Sea and has as such a different view of the international law with regards to the Strait situation. Oman is also a (former) UK/U.S. dependent. Iran’s attempts to pull the traditionally neutral Oman onto its side of the conflict have failed…
..Iran’s response to the challenge was a (harmless) drone attack on a container ship under the flag of Singapore which had used the IMO organized convoy to slip out of the Persian Gulf on its own. As the head of IMO announced during a press conference:
I have been informed of an attack today in the Gulf of Oman on a vessel which passed through the Strait of Hormuz. This vessel did not transit under IMO’s evacuation framework. I have always reiterated that the safety of the seafarers remains paramount. Therefore, to ensure a coordinated approach and navigational safety, the evacuation plan will be paused until further clarity is obtained. …”
No one got hurt in the drone attack. There was only minor damage to the ship.
The U.S. however used the incident, in which it was formerly not involved, to escalate the situation. Several U.S. airplanes launched stand-off missile attacks on Iranian radar installations near Sirik, a port city in southern Iran, near Hormuz.
Last night Iran announced that it had hit back…
..While Iran, through the MoU, set the retreat of Israel from Lebanon as a condition for reopening the Strait of Hormuz, the Lebanese government, under the pressure of U.S. sanctions, insisted on finding its own solution by selling out to the U.S. and Israel.
Yesterday it signed a Tripartite Agreement with the U.S. and Israel which will allow Israel to keep control over south Lebanon including over some 60 townships which it had cleansed of their Shia population. The agreement commits the Lebanese government to disarm Hizbullah, which it can not do, while allowing Israel to stay indefinitely… It is even more than that. Israel’s clear intention here is to reignite a Lebanese civil war and may well succeed. https://www.moonofalabama.org/2026/06/war-on-iran-new-clash-over-strait-passage-lebanons-capitulation-ignites-new-civil-war.htmlWatch: Giant Explosion Rocks Lebanon As IDF Destroys Hezbollah’s Underground Drone Complex
In a move bound to test the limits of the fragile Washington-brokered regional ceasefire, Israel has unleashed massive ordinance on southern Lebanon, saying it has utterly destroyed a huge underground complex built and used by Hezbollah.
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Defense Minister Israel Katz have freshly announced that the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) completely demolished a massive Hezbollah underground fortress embedded deep beneath the southern Lebanese village of Majdal Zoun. The village itself was leveled, with the IDF having released footage showing an unusually strong explosion. https://www.zerohedge.com/geopolitical/watch-giant-explosion-rocks-lebanon-idf-destroys-hezbollahs-underground-drone-complexLebanon Could Become ‘Gaza Strip 2’ under New US-Backed Framework – Haaretz https://www.palestinechronicle.com/lebanon-could-become-gaza-strip-2-under-new-us-backed-framework-haaretz/
Iran Challenges US Doctrine of Low-Intensity Warfare
In 1989, Michael Klare and Peter Kornbluh edited a book titled Low-Intensity Warfare: How the USA Fights Wars Without Declaring Them.
They wrote that the official description of low-intensity warfare was deliberately broad and ambiguous, embracing drug interdiction in Bolivia, the occupation of Beirut, the invasion of Grenada, the airstrikes on Libya in 1986, as well as covert “special operations,” “special activities,” and “unconventional warfare.”
They concluded that low-intensity conflict was in fact “a strategic reorientation of the US military establishment, and renewed commitment to employ force in a global crusade against Third World revolutionary movements and governments.”
Today’s nominal but false ceasefires in Gaza, Lebanon and the Persian Gulf fit squarely within that doctrine. They allow the US and Israel to continue illegal uses of force while appearing to respond to international demands for negotiations and diplomacy.
But the US involvement in low-intensity conflict today is not limited to the Middle East. It also encompasses the proxy war on Russia centered in Ukraine; the savage, deadly siege of Cuba; US and western piracy on the high seas; the kidnapping of President Maduro of Venezuela and his wife; and economic and financial coercive measures or “sanctions” that impact about 40 countries.
Today’s low-intensity warfare also includes deploying US special operations forces in up to 140 countries. Since 2001, US special operations forces claim to have suffered 40% of all US military casualties, including many of the 8,492 American deaths in Iraq and Afghanistan.
Concentrating such a large share of US war casualties in such a small force – about 70,000 men and women at any one time – helps to give most American families the illusion of living in peace, even as the United States projects military force across the world and kills thousands, sometimes hundreds of thousands, of people abroad.
The doctrine of low-intensity warfare depends on a fundamental assumption: that the countries targeted by the United States and its allies will remain too weak, too isolated or too divided to effectively resist. But that assumption is increasingly being tested. https://www.nakedcapitalism.com/2026/06/iran-challenges-us-doctrine-of-low-intensity-warfare.htmlWest Bank settler violence poses “existential threat” to Palestinians, analyst says https://english.palinfo.com/news/2026/06/27/365681/

Obliterating Gaza’s Children: The Damning UN Report
From Gaza and beyond, Israeli authorities and security forces have deliberately targeted Palestinian children. It is in line with the new Obliteration Doctrine and the topic of a new UN report…
..The testimony of Dr. Feroze Sidhwa, a young American trauma and general surgeon who had volunteered in Palestine including the European Hospital in Khan Younis, was particularly compelling.
“I’ve seen violence and worked in conflict zones,” Sidhwa said. “But of the many things that stood out about working in a hospital in Gaza, one got to me: Nearly every day I was there, I saw a new young child who had been shot in the head or the chest, virtually all of whom went on to die.” https://scheerpost.com/2026/06/27/obliterating-gazas-children-the-damning-un-report/‘The Doctor Said: I Came to Torture You’: Gaza Detainees Describe Israeli Prison Abuse https://www.palestinechronicle.com/the-doctor-said-i-came-to-torture-you-gaza-detainees-describe-israeli-prison-abuse/
Caitlin Johnstone, They’re Still Pushing The Ethnic Cleansing Of Gaza
Israel is still pushing for the ethnic cleansing of Gaza. They keep trying different angles and rebranding it under different names, but the end goal has remained the same since October 2023: the removal of all Palestinians from the Gaza Strip.
From The Times of Israel:
“Israel is seeking to revive its moribund plan for the voluntary migration of Gazans out of the Strip, and has rebranded it in an effort to soften the blanket international opposition to it, Channel 13 news reports, citing unnamed Israeli officials.
“Security agencies have in recent days been told to abandon the “voluntary migration” title due to the global opposition, and it will from now on be officially referred to as a ‘plan for free movement,’ the report says. https://www.caitlinjohnst.one/p/theyre-still-pushing-the-ethnic-cleansingTrump’s Board of Peace plans to grant itself sweeping immunity, documents show

[Since LBJ] The US–Israel relationship has been regarded as one of the most durable strategic partnerships in modern international politics. Successive American administrations have provided Israel with extensive military, political, intelligence, diplomatic, and economic support, often shielding it from international criticism and blocking resolutions perceived as hostile to Israeli interests in global institutions.
However, recent developments suggest that the traditionally unquestioned nature of this alliance may be entering a new phase. Growing tensions between US President Donald Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, combined with Washington’s evolving approach toward Iran and regional diplomacy, have raised questions about the future of American support for Israel and the broader balance of power in the Middle East. https://www.globalresearch.ca/israel-greatest-fear-america-less-committed/5931365UAW Divests from Israel Bonds Over Gaza https://theanalysis.news/uaw-divests-from-israel-bonds-over-gaza/?cmid=3ea03ab7-70ce-4a88-a9a7-0977e5627ebd

Moon of Alabama, Ukraine Isn’t Winning
There is an ongoing Ukrainian propaganda campaign to depict the country as winning the conflict with Russia.
The campaign is accompanied by drone attacks on energy targets within Russia. While burning fuel tanks at this or that of many Russian refineries may look impressive the effects on Russia have so fare been mere nuances. Ongoing drone attacks on Crimea have led to inconveniences for the inhabitants of the island.
The Ukrainian campaign is supported by the Europeans who are trying to pull the U.S. back into the conflict. The U.S. however had never left. After the meeting between President Trump and President Putin in August 2025 in Anchorage there was talk about an agreement between the two presidents but no announcement of any specifics.
After the meeting Trump had called for Ukraine to leave the Donbas area to make peace with Russia. But he never applied any pressure to achieve that outcome. Meanwhile U.S. intelligence and weapon support for Ukraine continued.
For a while Russia had seemed to believe in the ‘sprit of Anchorage’ and had expressed hope for an end on the conflict along Trump’s proposal. That view has long since gone away.
Now U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio has officially dismissed any talk of an Anchorage agreement:
US Secretary of State Marco Rubio said that Russian President Vladimir Putin and his US counterpart Donald Trump failed to secure any final agreements on Ukraine settlement at their meeting in Anchorage.
“There was no agreement in Alaska. There was a proposal in Alaska, but there was no agreement in Alaska. If there had been an agreement, we would have had an end to the war,” Rubio told journalists in Manama, the capital of Bahrain, in the course of his state visit.
Now Rubio’s underling even declares that Ukraine is winning:
Speaking ahead of the Ukraine Recovery Conference in Gdańsk, US Deputy Secretary of State Jeremy Levin said the conflict has shifted in Kyiv’s favor, Mezha reported.
“As of now, we are in a position where Ukraine is winning the war at this moment” Levin said, adding that the situation on the battlefield has shifted in Kyiv’s favor, allowing Washington to speak about Ukraine’s success as a current reality instead of a distant goal…
..The facts on the ground are contradicting the view of Mr. Levin…
..The Ukrainian army is in its worst ever position. Morale is terrible, losses are high and the recruitment methods are getting more and more brutal.
The Ukrainian Commander in Chief General Syrski has long insisted on creating new ‘assault’ brigades instead of filling up the shrinking regular brigades which attempt to hold grounds.
A recent investigation by the Ukrainian outlet Babel reveals murder and torture in the recruit training camps of the 425th Assault Regiment Skala (Rock)…
..The newly recruited soldiers, snatched from the streets, are living in guarded tents. Going to the toilet is only allowed in groups and under the eyes of an armed soldier. Grounds around the training camp are mined. Torture is routine. People who try to flee will be shot and/or get brutalized to death.
Strana reports that the “Rock” is far from the only such unit.
The mass death of Ukrainian soldiers due to torture while in training is probably what the State Department considers as ‘winning’.
Russia has meanwhile initiated a new campaign against Ukrainian transport infrastructure and logistics. Targets are locomotives, truck depots, large post office warehouses (which run Ukraine’s military logistics), oil storage facilities and petrol stations of which more than 150 have been destroyed so far.
The slow squeeze continues. Ukraine isn’t winning. https://www.moonofalabama.org/2026/06/ukraine-isnt-winning.html ‘Problematic But Not Critical’: Putin Concedes Fuel Shortages After Ukraine Strikes, Plays It Cool
President Vladimir Putin made a rare admission over this past weekend, belatedly acknowledged Sunday that Russia is facing a “certain shortage” of fuel following weeks of ramped-up drone warfare coming out of Ukraine, which has chiefly targeted oil refineries and domestic supply facilities, including in the Moscow region.
“As for strikes against critical infrastructure in general, and energy infrastructure in particular, of course, these attacks on our infrastructure facilities create problems,” Putin said in the new interview published by the Kremlin. “That’s obvious.”
“Right now we’re observing a certain shortage, but it’s not critical,” he added. He also made wide-ranging public remarks at a major summit of the ruling ‘United Russia’ party. https://www.zerohedge.com/geopolitical/putin-concedes-fuel-shortages-after-ukraine-strikes-plays-it-cool-problematic-not Gilbert Doctorow, News X World: Putin admits Russian fuel crisis
The supposedly Ukrainian attacks on Russian refineries are in fact British, French, German attacks on Russia because the long-range drones used to reach deep into Russia are most likely imports from NATO and everything needed to realize their flights into Russia comes from NATO, by which I mean the military intelligence used to establish their flight paths and targeting. To counter this, Russia could, under international rules of war, blow to bits the drone factories and military coordination centers in the said NATO countries as its response to their direct participation in the war.
Let us be frank: the admission by President Putin that there is a serious fuel shortage as a result of destruction of refineries is inviting his own overthrow. Gasolene availability and pricing is a highly political issue in Russia just as it is in the USA and Western Europe. https://gilbertdoctorow.substack.com/p/news-x-world-putin-admits-russian Simplicius, ‘Mystery’ Valdai Meeting Between Putin and Lukashenko Stirs Speculation Amidst Zelensky’s Latest Threats
One of the most interesting updates surrounding the current Ukraine war escalations has been the ‘mysteriously’ abrupt visit of Belarusian president Lukashenko to Valdai yesterday for a meeting with Putin that has now spanned two days. The length and secrecy shrouding the meeting has caused various speculations, particularly given Belarus’s central focus recently amidst Zelensky’s major ongoing psyops meant to broaden the conflict and push Russia into a ceasefire Ukraine is in dire need of.
The meeting was reportedly unannounced and Kremlin spokesperson Peskov revealed that no official transcript or statements would be provided—which is certainly odd. “Officially” the agenda was said to include Union State matters, economic and trade agreements, etc. But the implication given the nature of the meeting is clearly that, instead, matters of grave military importance were discussed, which required Putin and Lukashenko’s direct face-to-face contact at Putin’s own private retreat...
..We can therefore only logically infer that this was a kind of emergency meeting where the two leaders ironed out a coordinated plan as to how their respective countries should proceed militarily should Zelensky continue his upward spiral of provocations…
..As previously seen, Zelensky has announced a new “campaign of terrors” lasting 40 days that is meant to be a kind of grandiose final arc to top the war. The ploy’s chief mechanic is obviously set to be a series of major escalations combined with an unprecedented information campaign to paint Russia as collapsing, and more importantly, Putin as being in the throes of an uprising. This is the age-old playbook used by Western intelligence agencies in Iran and elsewhere. https://simplicius76.substack.com/p/mystery-valdai-meeting-between-putin
Address to the Peoples of Europe ~ Putin
President Putin’s message to the German government and the German people:
‘We have no desire to attack you. Why would we? Those days are long behind us. Anyone who is thinking clearly can see that.
First:
Your national debt already stands at €2.5 trillion, and no serious economist seems to know how it will ever be repaid…
..Second:
Millions of migrants now live in your country, costing tens of billions of euros each year. Why should the Russian people bear any responsibility for that?
Third:
A sizeable portion of your population believes that riding bicycles and eating insects can change the climate. Perhaps such thinking could be corrected, but doing so would come at a cost.
Fourth:
Your education system was once admired around the world. Today, in many German classrooms, meaningful teaching has become difficult because German is no longer widely spoken.
Fifth:
Your infrastructure is crumbling, and you are struggling to keep up with the repairs.
Sixth:
Your railways were once a source of national pride and an example to the world. Today, your trains are notorious for delays and declining reliability
Seventh:
We no longer depend on your renowned engineers. The sanctions taught us how to manage without them. And if we ever need outside expertise, we can turn to China, where it is not only less expensive but often more competitive.
Eighth:
You lack the natural resources and energy reserves that would make your country strategically attractive to conquer. Why would we take on problems that otherwise would not concern us?
Realistically, even if you invited us in, surrendered, and waved white flags, we still would not come.’ https://michaelwalshwriter.com/2026/06/27/address-to-the-peoples-of-europe-putin/ Germany news: New heat record at 41.7 degrees Celsius – Trams in Leipzig are halted for the rest of the weekend as the searing heat melted asphalt and bitumen and rendered the tracks impassable https://www.dw.com/en/germany-news-new-heat-record-at-417-degrees-celsius/live-77733670

EU Commission HQ shuts down air conditioning for lower staffers, but keeps it on for most commissioners

The World Cup has triggered one of the most surprising global cultural awakenings in decades and almost no one saw it coming. The establishment media had been running negative propaganda for months, claiming that the event was going to be a disaster because it was being held in the US. The machine had already decided that the World Cup in 2026 was going to be sold as a disaster from start to finish.
Rumors were spinning that because Americans don’t care about “soccer” that the tournament would be mismanaged, that America was “racist”, the players would be treated poorly, and that the US is such a dangerous place it would deter travelers from going overseas to attend the games.
The anti-American sentiment being generating by western journalists is staggering. However, all it took was a few weeks and around 1.2 million foreign visitors per city coming to see the World Cup at the same time. Suddenly, Europeans have realized they’ve been lied to about everything.
The US hosted event is now being called one of the most successful in history. The propaganda spell has been broken. Europeans are going on social media to apologize for the hate their countrymen have been dumping on the US over the years. And, most importantly, they’ve discovered air conditioning.
Strangely, it’s not American gun rights that are sparking mass debate. Rather, it’s the air conditioning issue that’s causing the most friction with political leaders back in Europe, and the elites are not happy. https://www.zerohedge.com/geopolitical/did-world-cup-just-start-war-europe-over-air-conditioning US Boosts Venezuela Earthquake Aid To $300 Million As 50,000 Remain Missing – Aftershock rattles Caracas on Monday morning https://www.zerohedge.com/geopolitical/boots-ground-us-military-begins-humanitarian-operation-quake-ravaged-venezuela
Xenophobia is a human-species characteristic in hard times: A new wave of xenophobia is sweeping through South Africa, with migrants murdered, homes destroyed and thousands displaced.

During the Biden years, Kash Patel accused Jan. 6 provocateur Ray Epps of being a federal asset.
Referring to the fact that Epps was taken off the FBI’s Most Wanted list in early 2021, Patel said there was only two ways someone could get off that list—either they died or they’re working for the government. https://www.zerohedge.com/political/lawsuit-filed-records-jan-6-provocateur-ray-epps Kyle Young, As I Predicted, the Investigation into the Death of Charlie Kirk now Goes All The Way To The Top
Joe Kent, the former Director of the National Counterterrorism Center, attempted to look into the possibility of a “foreign nexus” (Israel) being involved with Charlies death. He was blocked by FBI Director Kash Patel from continuing that investigation.
Why?
Here’s the sequence of events –
On August 8, 2025 Charlie says he thinks Israel will kill him if he leaves the Israeli cause.
On September 8, 2025 he announces he is leaving the Israeli cause.
On September 9, 2025 he tells 3 people he thinks he is going to be killed.
On September 10, 2025 he is assassinated.
The FBI, the state of Utah and local authorities think none of this is worthy of investigation.
At no point did Charlie Kirk say he had any concerns about transfurry people. Transfurry people were not pulling funding from TPUSA. They were not posing an existential threat to Charlie Kirk. That threat was coming from Israel. It was Netanyahu that offered to take Charlie Kirk and TPUSA to the next level at a meeting in the Hamptons sponsored by Jewish billionaire Bill Ackman in early August of 2025. Charlie turned Netanyahu down. Transfurries had nothing to do with any of that.
So what does the FBI do? The FBI decides to ignore the obvious avenue of investigative pursuit and instead, dreams up a lame narrative that a lone, transfurry gunman named Tyler Robinson shot Charlie Kirk in the neck with his grandfathers .30-06 rifle...
..Like Thomas Mathew Crooks, who we are told shot Trump in the ear at Butler PA, Tyler Robinson was to be shot to death by authorities at his house in Saint George, Utah. End of story. Except, a number of things went wrong.
Tyler had a family friend in law enforcement who recommended to Tyler’s parents that the safest place for Tyler was in jail. So, he turned himself in. That may be the only reason why he is still alive today. We can be sure that was not part of the overall plan to silence Charlies growing influence about the dangers of being aligned with Israel, and prevent his potential run for the White House in a few years. https://secularheretic.substack.com/p/as-i-predicted-the-investigationKyle Young, A Compendium of Information about the Assassination of Charlie Kirk https://secularheretic.substack.com/p/a-compendium-of-information-about-78d

‘That’s going to push prices higher’: Oil expert warns of rising prices this summer
Jay Young, an oil operator and CEO of oil investment firm King Operating Corporation, explained on “The John Curley Show” on KIRO Newsradio how the U.S. is currently in the sweet spot for oil prices, but that he expects the price to go up as supply is not meeting demand.
“You want to keep prices between $65-$85, at that level. You don’t want to overproduce, because then prices just go down, and it’s just Armageddon in the oil and gas industry,” Young said. “You’re producing so much oil, but you’re not making any money. Why do we need $78 a barrel, and why is that a good price? Because then you could drill a $10 million well, and you can make $15 to $25 million off that.
“If prices go down too far, you’re not making as much money; it’s not worth it,” he continued. “That’s what I’m surprised about right now, that rig counts stayed steady. It hasn’t gone up a lot because, you know, we saw $100 oil, a little higher than that, and it’s staying around the $70-$80, but there are so many countries that are coming back in right now that everybody feels like that oil could go down.” https://mynorthwest.com/john-curley/oil-gas-prices-summer/4251768Hormuz Tanker Traffic Plunges After Fresh US-Iran Strikes https://www.zerohedge.com/energy/hormuz-tanker-traffic-plunges-after-fresh-us-iran-strikes

John Klar explains very modest goals, What President Trump’s Executive Order Boosting Regenerative Agriculture Gets Right
On June 25, President Trump issued an executive order broadly supporting regenerative agriculture. It’s a meaningful step in the right direction.
Most organic producers understand that, short of a purist agricultural system in which all farms are organic, large conventional farms must be incentivized to use fewer polluting methods where possible, which means implementing what can only be called “regenerative” practices.
U.S. agriculture has been pressured to adopt industrial methodology and rapid consolidation for decades, resulting in a system that depletes soils, water resources, and nutrients. Such methods include the production of a massive amount of genetically modified corn and soy every year, used in animal feed and fuel production. These crops are not transitioning to organic overnight, and rely on routine applications of pesticides and synthetic fertilizers.
The June 25 executive order does not aim to convert all U.S. farmland to organic production rapidly, but rather to reduce the amount of chemicals used in existing industrial systems. Following decades of federal subsidies and regulations that pressured farmers to invest in chemical applications, the Trump administration is implementing unprecedented steps to reverse that trend.
The EO also specifically calls for research into the potential adverse health impacts of cumulative chemical residue [Glyphosate] exposures, the development of less toxic alternative chemical products to replace current agricultural chemicals, and a long-overdue study of the impacts of glyphosate and other chemicals used as pre-harvest desiccants. This information can serve as the foundation for future reductions in chemical applications to Americans’ food and ethanol supplies. https://www.themahareport.com/p/what-president-trumps-executive-order Steve Kirsch, New Zealand vaccination records show 50% higher-than-expected all-cause mortality after vaccination; Health New Zealand refuses to investigate

Critical Atlantic current significantly more likely to collapse than thought
Scientists say finding is ‘very concerning’ as collapse would be catastrophic for Europe, Africa and the Americas
The research combined real-world ocean observations with the models to determine the most reliable, and this hugely reduced the spread of uncertainty. They found an estimated slowdown of 42% to 58% in 2100, a level almost certain to end in collapse.
The AMOC is a major part of the global climate system and brings sun-warmed tropical water to Europe and the Arctic, where it cools and sinks to form a deep return current. A collapse would shift the tropical rainfall belt on which many millions of people rely to grow their food, plunge western Europe into extreme cold winters and summer droughts, and add 50-100cm to already rising sea levels around the Atlantic.
Dr Valentin Portmann, at the Inria Centre de recherche Bordeaux Sud-Ouest in France and who led the new research, said: “We found that the AMOC is going to decline more than expected compared to the average of all climate models. This means we have an Amoc that is closer to a tipping point.”
Prof Stefan Rahmstorf, at the Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research in Germany, said: “This is an important and very concerning result. It shows that the ‘pessimistic’ models, which show a strong weakening of the AMOC by 2100, are, unfortunately, the realistic ones, in that they agree better with observational data.”
He added: “I now am increasingly worried that we may well pass that Amoc shutdown tipping point, where it becomes inevitable, in the middle of this century, which is quite close.” https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2026/apr/15/critical-atlantic-current-significantly-more-likely-to-collapse-than-thoughtJosh Mitteldorf asks the question on everybody’s mind: Was the human genome engineered by ETs?
