Iran military preparing to respond to any US moves: Tasnim

if an attack is carried out on May 25th, Arafat Day, because history shows that Israel regularly carries out attacks during Muslim holidays. and the following day, May 26th, is the big holiday of Eid-e-Ghorban in Iran, and it is followed by the three-day holiday of Eid al-Adha (May 27-29, 2026) so the whole next week is a holiday in Iran and evil will not miss this to cause the greatest evil.

Over the past 10 years (2016–2026), there have been many major military clashes that have affected Muslim holidays. Intense bombings, rocket attacks, and clashes at holy sites have been repeated almost annually during this period. Here is a chronological overview of the most significant events over the past decade:2021: Crisis in Jerusalem and escalation during Eid al-FitrWhat happened: Tensions began at the end of Ramadan due to the imminent forced eviction of Palestinian families from the Sheikh Jarrah neighborhood in 2021.Clashes at the mosque: Israeli security forces stormed the Al-Aqsa Mosque right during Ramadan prayers.Bombing during the holidays: The subsequent 11-day military conflict resulted in massive Israeli airstrikes on the Gaza Strip. These attacks continued throughout the Eid al-Fitr holiday (the end of Ramadan), resulting in dozens of civilian casualties as families celebrated the end of the fast. 2022 and 2023: Ramadan crackdowns Ramadan 2022: Israeli forces repeatedly entered the Al-Aqsa compound and dispersed worshippers with tear gas and rubber bullets. Clashes occurred almost every day of the holy month. Ramadan 2023: The scenario repeated itself – police raids on a mosque provoked rocket retaliation from Gaza and Lebanon, to which Israel responded with air strikes. 2024: War in Gaza and the thwarted holidays Context: Following the Hamas attack on October 7, 2023, Israel launched a massive military offensive. Eid al-Fitr 2024: Despite international pressure for a ceasefire, the Israeli army continued to bomb refugee camps and towns in Gaza even during the holidays. Instead of celebrating, people in Gaza buried their dead. 2025: Attacks during “Suhoor” and holidays Ramadan 2025: In March 2025, after the then fragile ceasefire was broken, Israel launched a series of intensive airstrikes on residential buildings and schools in Gaza. The attacks occurred around 2:00 a.m. – precisely when families were gathering to eat suhoor (the pre-dawn meal before the day-long fast). Eid al-Fitr 2025: Military operations in the Rafah and Khan Yunis areas did not stop even on the first days of the holiday, which resulted in further civilian casualties. 2026: Current situation and Al-Aqsa blockade Early 2026: At the very beginning of Ramadan (February 2026), Israeli airstrikes and artillery hit the Jabaliya refugee camp and Gaza City, leading to further casualties right during the first days of the fast. Eid al-Fitr 2026: During the recent Eid al-Fitr holiday, Israel imposed strict security measures and blocked thousands of Muslims from praying in Jerusalem, sparking new unrest.

In the end, no negotiation will succeed

I think if the US was going to re-escalate this weekend, it would have already started by now.

all kinds of signs there will be a holiday bombing spree. The SPX 7000 to 7500 could unwind in 10 days if there is a re-escalation.

Gulf leaders, including from Saudi Arabia, the UAE, and Qatar, requested that the US postpone planned military strikes on Iran. They requested the delay to allow crucial, final diplomatic negotiations to take place and to avoid a regional escalation during the sacred observance of Arafat Day and Eid al-Adha.


The specific background and context surrounding this diplomatic maneuvering include:
The Pause: US President Donald Trump confirmed he held off a planned attack on Iran scheduled for Tuesday after Gulf leaders formally asked to put it off for a few days so they could finalize an agreement.
The Significance of Arafat Day: The Day of Arafat is one of the most sacred days in Islam, marked by the Hajj pilgrimage where millions of Muslims congregate in Saudi Arabia. Gulf states stressed that launching military strikes during this highly sensitive period could trigger widespread unrest, endanger the lives of massive crowds concentrated near Mecca, and severely disrupt the pilgrimage.
Ongoing Conflict & Truce: The request occurred during a volatile period following earlier US-Israeli strikes on Iran and subsequent retaliatory strikes by Tehran on energy and military targets across the Gulf. Even with a fragile ceasefire brokered, intermittent tensions—including drone and missile exchanges—have kept the region on edge.
Deterrence Posture: Despite urging diplomatic solutions, Saudi Arabia's Cabinet simultaneously issued a stern warning that it would take all necessary measures to protect its security.


-> this weekend unlikely no escalagtion as it is arafat day (public holiday) for the Muslims.

Markets are closed and we can be realists again. I wonder how much oil was extracted from SPR this week to dump it so hard, using your headlines as excuse. It's nice that you all make money but at a cost of a taxpayer by the end of the day, so say goodbye to your reputation till the end of times

SPR level before the operation in Iran was 415M (which is low due to Biden's extraction from the level of 600-700M), last Wednesday SPR decreased to 374M (41 million barrels are taken out of 140 that Mr. Trump ordered to extract). 10 million barrels decreased in the last week, so extraction was accelerated. Very little time left to restart the war, or SPR will be depleted and there will be no reserve to balance the market and stabilize the oil price in case of war. Now or never!

War is over.

There will be no escalation till the hajj pilgrimage ends by this month end, in my opinion saudis would have passed this info to trump, they wont be able to handle the carnage it could lead to with all the influx of people going there at this moment of time

During Muslim's holy Hajj US will not going to re-escalate as per Soudi's request but it 100% confirm that no negotiation will succeed during next two days and I expecting a huge gap down on GOLD & SILVER price at market opening.

rofl

It's incredible the amount of manipulation that has been happening in recent months, when the market only moved based on high-impact negative news, but now they do whatever they want with it.

I'm fed up. This conversation never ends. We're all screwed.

Hantavirus is much more deadly now. Masks on!

Lol as if they have the ability to do anything lol
