U.S. Secretary of State, Antony Blinken will reportedly continue with his Visit to Baghdad, Iraq tomorrow despite the Threats issued today by the Iranian-Backed “Kata'ib Hezbollah” who stated they would launch “Unprecedented Escalations” on U.S. Assets in the Country including the American Embassy and Green Zone in Baghdad if he still decides to Visit.

The U.S. Air Force has released Footage and Images of the 2 B-1B “Lancer” Long-Range Heavy Bombers with the 34th and 37th Bomb Squadrons of the 28th Bomb Wing being prepared and launching on Friday from Dyess Air Force Base in Texas for their over 24 Hour CONUS-to-CONUS Bombing Mission over Iraq and Syria, in Response to the Drone Attack on Northeastern Jordan last week by Iranian-Backed Groups which resulted in the Death of 3 American Solders.
Airmen from the 7th Munitions Conventional Maintenance Shop preparing several Mark 84 2,000lb Bombs to be Fitted with Joint-Direct Attack Munitions Kits (JDAM) creating GBU-31 Precision-Guided Munitions which will eventually be loaded into B-1B “Lancer”Heavy Bombers.
Footage and Images released earlier tonight by the U.K. Ministry of Defense, showing the launch of 4 Eurofighter Typhoon with the Royal Air Force equipped with “Paveway IV” Laser-Guided 500lbs Bombs from RAF Akrotiri on the Island of Cyprus, in order to link up with 2 Voyager KC2 Aerial-Refueling Tankers before their Strike Mission against the Houthi Terrorist Group in Western Yemen.
Hamas Supporters staged a Protest and/or Riot today at the Port of Oakland in California preventing the MV Cape Orlando a Roll-On/Roll-Off Ship with the U.S. National Defense Reserve Fleet from Departing, by Breaching the Gates of the Port and attempting to Climb the Ladder onto the Ship while also Blocking the Entrance to Berth 20 where the Ship was Moored; the Individuals stated they had learned from “Workers” that the Ship was heading to Tacoma, Washington to pick-up Military Aid for Israel and that they were going to prevent that.
But finally after nearly 6 Hours of Delays the NV Cape Orlando has Departed from the Port of Oakland, after the Individuals were Removed from the Ship and Arrested by the U.S. Coast Guard and other Federal Agencies.
Whoever the Worker was that told the Group about the Schedule of the Ship and its Cargo I guarantee you is about to have a Knock on their Door from a Three-Letter Agency in the near Future.
Interfering with the Deployment of a Naval Ship and/or a Ship which is carrying out Missions for the U.S. Department of Defense isn’t going to have a Light Punishment I can promise you that.
U.S. Intelligence Officials told CNN today that they currently believe Iran and Iranian-Backed Groups like Hezbollah are “Holding-Back” their Attacks against the United States and Israel in order to avoid a Major Regional War, which Iran knows would cause Devastation to its Military and Infrastructure.
I guess we are just going to Totally Ignore the almost 40 Attacks on U.S. Forces in Iraq and Syria by Iranian-Backed Forces over the last few weeks.
Iran and Hezbollah are clearly trying to get a Response out of both the United States and Israel, so the opinion that they are “Holding-Back” to avoid a War is Ridiculous and Laughable.
4 U.S. Air Force KC-135T and 2 KC-135R Aerial Refueling Tankers have Departed from Al-Udeid Air Force Base in Doha, Qatar heading West over Saudi Arabia with some appearing to now be Circling over the Country; that is a lot of Fuel in the Air.
2 KC-135Rs
The KC-135T/Rs appear to be with the 171st Air Refueling Squadron of the Michigan Air National Guard and the 203rd Air Refueling Squadron of the Hawaii Air National Guard; they are able to conduct In-Air Refueling of almost every single Aircraft in the U.S. Air Force and U.S. Navy including F-35s, F-18s, F-16s, F-15s, and even B-52 Strategic and B-2 Stealth Bombers.
