- 🇺🇸/🇮🇷 Iran has reportedly activated its "dead hand" doctrine, with Iranian officials now believing that a joint US-Israeli attack is imminent, and they have ordered the country's armed forces to directly activate the decentralized "mosaic defense," with commanders of US political economic reports receiving extensive wartime political economic reports, Fars News.

The activation transforms the Iranian military into 31 independent regional commands, designed to ensure devastating retaliatory strikes even if the head of the Central Command is overrun in the first wave of attacks. Tehran gives preliminary powers to field commanders to open fire without waiting for orders from above.

It comes as Trump says the United States is "not negotiating" and "something will happen soon," Washington orders the complete evacuation of its embassy staff from the Gulf, and the Revolutionary Guard claims it hit seven ships in one night. The region is now on the brink of all-out war.
