Day 13: Iranian Missiles Still Flying + Energy Exports Stopping as Global Crisis Looms

- At day 13 despite claiming Iranian military command, political leadership, and launcher capacity has been destroyed, Iran averages 20 ballistic missile launches a day, exhausting US anti-missile munitions; - Iran is likely pacing itself for a long-term conflict lasting 6 months to even 1 year or more; - Even if the US "pauses" like it did last year, the war will continue because eliminating Iran is key to encircling Russia and ultimately containing China; - Beware of those blaming "Israel" for this war as Israel is merely an extension of US power in the region like Ukraine is vis-a-vis Russia in Eastern Europe; - Shifting blame to a US proxy allows the US to carry out extreme measures without taking responsibility for them up to and including the use of nuclear weapons and the destruction of the global economy; References: TOI - IDF estimates Iran now firing just 20 missiles a day at Israel, down from 90 last Saturday (Mar. 6, 2026): https://www.timesofisrael.com/liveblog_entry/idf-estimates-iran-now-firing-just-20-missiles-a-day-at-israel-down-from-90-last-saturday/ AJ - Iran fires missiles, drones at Gulf nations as ship hit in Strait of Hormuz (Mar. 11, 2026): https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2026/3/11/iran-fires-missiles-drones-at-gulf-nations-as-ship-hit-in-strait-of-hormuz NYT - U.S. STRATEGY PLAN CALLS FOR INSURING NO RIVALS DEVELOP (1992): https://www.nytimes.com/1992/03/08/world/us-strategy-plan-calls-for-insuring-no-rivals-develop.html US Naval War College Review - A Maritime Oil Blockade Against China (2018): https://digital-commons.usnwc.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?article=1735&context=nwc-review Where to Find My Work: Website: https://landdestroyer.blogspot.com/ Telegram: https://t.me/brianlovethailand Twitter: https://twitter.com/BrianJBerletic Rumble (YouTube alternative): https://rumble.com/c/c-1459863 How to Support my Work (and thank you!): Buy Me A Coffee: https://www.buymeacoffee.com/TheNewAtlas Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/landdestroyer PromptPay: 0851547235
