All eyes are on Tehran to see if they make good on their word.

UPDATE 10:40 AM EDT --

Iranian state media is reporting that the Supreme National Security Council has called an emergency session following Israel’s strike on Beirut’s Dahiyeh district.

QATAR Issues a 7 DAY NOTAM, READY FOR WAR

I assume this is in anticipation of an attack on Israel by Iran for striking Lebanon.

This could result in the U.S. hitting Iran from their Al Udeid Air Base in Qatar.

NOTAM:

This NOTAM is restricting all flights from today until June 14th. It will establish alternative flight routes through its airspace for aircraft departing from Doha and airports in Saudi. That's almost a whole week of suspended flights.

UPDATE 5:01 PM EDT --

Hostilities in the Israel/US - Iran Conflict are RESUMING!

About three hours ago, I departed my home in New Jersey and drove to my country home in northeast Pennsylvania. (It had nothing to do with the hostilities in the Middle East).

In the three hours it took me to drive from NJ to PA, the following developments took place:

3:16 PM EDT -- Iran has just restarted the war with Israel. Ballistic missile attack.

3:31 PM EDT -- Israeli airspace and all flights at Ben Gurion Airport have reportedly been halted. Multiple U.S. Air Force refueling aircraft are said to be taking off from Israel as the IDF prepares a major response.

3:32 PM EDT -- Iran fired 5 waves of missiles towards northern Israel. The 5th is on the way right now. Every barrage consists of about 3-5 ballistic missiles.

3:35 PM EDT -- Iran's IRGC says "this is the beginning of a full week of continuous strikes." "Waves of missiles and drones will continue to be launched around the clock for the next seven days until the enemy is deterred and ceases its crimes."

3:49 PM EDT --  Bomb shelters have been opened across the entire territory of Israel.

Tomorrow, all educational institutions across Israel will be closed.

Trump has been briefed on Iran’s missile attack on Israel. Israel is preparing for retaliatory actions. 


The situation has entered a critical phase. After Iran’s ballistic missile attack, Israel is taking comprehensive defensive measures while preparing a response.

The closure of schools and opening of shelters indicate that Israeli authorities expect further developments in the coming hours.

3:51 PM EDT -- According to Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), via the Fars New Agency: “Tonight's operation was merely a warning announcement, and if aggressions are repeated, the responses will be broader and will include all American-Zionist targets in the region.”

The IRGC cites their reason for tonight’s ballistic missile attack against Northern Israel as continued Israeli strikes against Lebanon and U.S. attacks against Iranian coasts and vessels in the Strait of Hormuz, the Sea of Oman, and the Indian Ocean.

4:00 PM EDT -- Turkish media "Anadolu Agency": Air raid sirens went off in Haifa and several other locations across northern Israel after Iran launched missiles. As interception attempts were underway, blasts were heard in both Nazareth and Haifa.

4:11 PM EDT -- Iraq has just shut its entire airspace. FAA NOTAM A0237/26 closes the Baghdad FIR effective 1940Z, citing "operational reasons," the standard wording for closing a flight region when it turns into a military risk zone. It came through within the hour of Iran starting to fire ballistic missiles at northern Israel.

4:15 PM EDT -- The Islamic Republic has again cut off internet to 90 million Iranians.

4:37 PM EDT -- The Israeli army says it will continue its operations "throughout Lebanon"

4:39 PM EDT -- Trump says, “The Iranian strikes didn’t hurt anybody. Hopefully Israel is not going to retaliate. If Bibi strikes them back it’s just gonna keep going like the last 47 years, or the last 3000 years.” "I’m going to call Bibi right now and tell him not to retaliate. Each of them had their fun. Israel had its strike and Iran had its strike. We don't need another one.”

5:02 PM EDT -- Iran is now threatening that if Israel responds, missiles will be launched immediately toward a list of targets inside Israel.

5:04 PM EDT -- All airports in western Tehran FIR are closed until 23:30 Tehran time on June 8th - NOTAM

5:29 PM EDT -- After the phone call with Trump, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is holding a joint meeting with senior defense officials.

UPDATE 6:29 PM EDT -- 

Details on the Trump/Netanyahu phone call earlier today "Netanyahu told Trump he intends to launch a major attack on Iran. Trump made clear the US will not participate if Israel goes ahead. America is out. 

The moment of truth has arrived.

UPDATE 9:38 PM EDT --  "NO DEAL"

Word is coming out of Iran claiming "TRUMP DEAL IS NO LONGER FEASIBLE."

An Iranian official REPORTEDLY says a deal with President Trump is “no longer feasible” at this stage. The official blamed Trump for the current escalation and warned that any new Israeli strike on Beirut would trigger immediate missile retaliation.

Iran also says it will no longer accept Washington’s position on Lebanon or frozen Iranian assets for reconstruction funds.

Iran also says they hold the U.S. directly responsible for the consequences of Israeli ceasefire violations and any escalation in the region - Mehr News

Hal Turner Analysis

If the latest report is accurate, and I have NO REASON to think it is not, then it seems to me the US and Israel will choose full scale war THIS COMING WEEK.

The crude oil situation seems as though it is going to get very much worse, very much faster. 

If full scale war breaks out - and I believe it will BY THIS THURSDAY -- Iran has made clear they will hit Oil and Fresh Water infrastructure in Persian Gulf Countries, and expand the war to closure of the Strait of Bab al-Mandab, which will cut-off access to the Red Sea and Suez Canal.

By hitting oil infrastructure, even if Iran ultimately loses the war, none of the Middle East nations will be able to produce and ship oil and other petro-chemicals.  It would take literally YEARS to get that infrastructure repaired and working again.

The world has already drawn-down its crude oil reserves.  It cannot continue to survive as if everything is OK, beyond the next 60 days.

When oil supplies reach "tank-bottom" the refineries are forced to shut down because the remaining oil cannot be pumped into the refineries; there's not enough weight in the tanks to push the thick oil into the pumps which feed the refineries.

When refineries shut down, no more gasoline or diesel fuel . . .  or even Bunker fuel which is what large, ocean-going ships utilize.   All commerce would be forced to stop.

When Diesel fuel runs out, all the trucks and trains stop.   No trucks means no way to pick up food from farms, bring it to processing plants.  No trucks to take it from processing plants to disribution centers.  No trucks to take it from distribution centers to Supermarkets.

Ergo, NO FOOD ON STORE SHELVES.

You folks had better stock-up now to try to survive.  If you wait until the rest of the general public starts realizing what's coming, you may go to the store and find it SOLD OUT.  That will mean you and your family have only what's already in your refrigerator and pantry to live on.

That's not much.   It won't last long.

I urge you to stock-up now, while you still can.  Starvation is a terrible way to die.
