President Trump on Sunday addressed the nation, announcing the progress of the strikes on Iran, which have killed dozens of top Iranian leaders and the Supreme Leader of Iran.

During his address, Trump described Operation Epic Fury as “one of the largest, most complex, most overwhelming military offenses the world has ever seen,” noting that “combat operations continue at this time in full force, and they will continue until all of our objectives are achieved.”

“Combat operations continue at this time in full force, and they will continue until all of our objectives are achieved. We have very strong objectives. They could have done something two weeks ago, but they just couldn’t get there,” Trump said.

4 US service members have been killed in action and several more have been wounded in Operation Epic Fury.

Bottlenecked ships anchored outside Straight of Hormuz.

Ships travel the seas using the Automatic Identification System (AIS). It’s a satellite tracking system that uses transponders to continuously broadcast a ship’s location, type, length, and so on. Currently, over 210 tankers and container ships are anchored outside the Strait of Hormuz.

Through this waterway choke point (Hormuz) flows 20% of the global oil, along with large volumes of LNG (Liquefied natural gas). The Strait is only 21 miles wide at its narrowest point. But the shipping lane width, in either direction, is only 2 miles. Those two lanes are separated by a 2-mile buffer zone.

Massive AIS signal interference has been observed around the Strait of Hormuz and the Persian Gulf. This appears to come mostly from the Iranian coastal cities of Assaluyeh and Bandar Abbas. The images below show the ship AIS signals before the attacks (Feb 27th) and the signal interference created after the attacks (Feb. 28th).

Maritime intelligence organization KPLER processes over 1.2 billion of these AIS signals daily. KPLER stated, “This current AIS disruption can cause vessel positions to cluster unnaturally in a single area and skew the distribution of maritime traffic. This complicates situational awareness around key terminals and transit lanes”.

Vessels affected by AIS interference may be broadcasting a position that is miles from their actual position, sometimes even inland. They may appear “on water” but in the wrong location, which is harder to identify at first glance. The distortions can also create false port calls and misrepresent loadings and unloading at the terminals.

Reuters reported that several tanker owners and trading houses suspended crude oil, fuel, and LNG through the Strait of Hormuz after the U.S. and Israel attacked Iran.

Tehran said it had closed navigation, trading sources said on Saturday.”Our ships will stay put for several days,” one top executive at a major trading desk said. Satellite images from tanker trackers showed vessels backed up next to big ports, such as Fujairah in the United Arab Emirates, and not moving through Hormuz.

Multiple vessels in the area have received VHF transmission from Iran’s Revolutionary Guards that “no ship is allowed to pass the Strait of Hormuz”, an official with the EU naval mission Aspides told Reuters.

The British Navy said Iran’s orders were not legally binding and advised vessels to transit with caution. Vessel traffic through the Strait of Hormuz has not completely stopped, but disruptions are building rapidly, shipbroker Poten & Partners said in a note to clients.

Lloyd’s List, the newspaper devoted to shipping news, said: “In a notice issued by US Navy Central Command in the early hours of Saturday morning, ships were warned against navigating within this area, if possible.”

The tanker association INTERTANKO said the U.S. Navy had warned against navigation in the area – the whole of the Gulf, Gulf of Oman, North Arabian Sea, and the Strait of Hormuz – saying it could not guarantee the safety of shipping. Lloyd’s also said merchant ships should navigate no closer than 30 nautical miles from a naval vessel, the statement explained.

The naval advisory, which has subsequently been distributed by flag states and security firms globally, recommends that “aircraft and ships keep clear of the designated area”.

Jamming and spoofing of satellite navigation systems is likely, according to multiple advisories issued by regional naval operations and industry security sources.

Ayatollah Arafi was appointed Iran’s temporary leader after Ayatollah Khamenei was killed on Saturday. – Iranian news

On Saturday, after weeks of failed negotiations, the US and Israel unleashed ‘Operation Epic Fury’ on the wicked Iranian regime. The successful military strike took out the top officials of the Iranian regime, including:

• Ali Khamenei (Supreme Leader).
• Ali Shamkhani (Defense Council Secretary / senior advisor).
• Mohammad Pakpour (IRGC commander).
• Aziz Nasirzadeh (Defense Minister).
• Abdolrahim Mousavi (Chief of General Staff / Armed Forces Chief of Staff).

There are reports that the coordinated hit took out 40 top level officials from the radical Islamic regime.

Three Americans were killed in retalitory strikes by Iran, five more are in serious condition.

Iran quickly installed Ayatollah Arafi as their new Islamic ruler. And Arafi is already shooting off his mouth.

Arafi was appointed today to Iran’s 3-member interim leadership council alongside the president and chief justice.

The rumblings that Arafi was killed in a strike have not been confirmed.

In 2019 Arafi led the crowd chanting, “Death to America, Death to England!”

The acting Supreme Leader of Iran is now Ayatollah Alireza Arafi.

Here's him in 2019 leading the crowd chanting “Death to America, Death to England, Death to the hypocrites and the infidels, Death to Israel.”
