I made a x.com post earlier on 13th of January 2026, that saying “US-Israel backed forces will conduct unprecedented attack in Iran” while the Iranian officials confirmed that the protests are under control. They admitted they killed 2,000 officially while some sources suggest its 12,000 or more. They planned to execute first protestor by public hanging on 14th of January 2026. All hopes were fading as US President said he will put 25% extra tariffs on countries who trade with Iran. Further he said Iranians reached him and asked for negotiation. He is preparing a meeting. But, my view was President Trump was preparing for massive attack against Iran’s regime to collapse in scale that no one will estimate. So, I made that tweet despite the situation. So, I am composing this article after 6 hours since then. Just received a Truth Social message from Donald Trump that asking Iranians to hang tight and help is on the way. And PM Netanyahu has called a special midnight security cabinet meeting tonight.
This is the background that I am writing this. However, this war simulation has been done days ago and I had planned to write this today despite the fading hopes of collapsing Iranian mullah regime. Because I see this as imminent classic attack profile from WH despite media reports.
Probably Israel and US will conduct a joint attack without using Saudi, Qatari, Oman or Kuwait lands. It will be a massive one that neutralize all threats at once. Many people are skeptical of what US can do right now due to certain challenges. But, similar challengers were there at Venezuela and yet it was a great success. This attack will be a totally different that last June 2025 bunker buster attack by B2 Sprite bombers to Iran or Venezuela attack. And this attack will be a massive one that no one ever predicted. It’s all about the time and not about the result. Trump is buying time to make a successful attack that no need for second round.
