Israel-Iran war
Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited.

Commentary by Russian military journalist Boris Rozhin:

[ColonelCassad] Iran was able to respond more or less to Israel's attack yesterday during the night, after it restored the chain of command and air defense. The 4-wave missile strikes were large-scale and quite effective, including spectacular hits on targets in the center of Tel Aviv, including the Israeli Defense Ministry.

But this is only the beginning. Israel began new strikes overnight, which are still ongoing. Attempts are underway to destroy Iranian nuclear facilities, air defense facilities, and other military targets. The Fordow facility has not been seriously damaged at the moment. The Natanz facility has received superficial damage, but the underground complex itself has survived, although it is stated that it needs to be decontaminated due to a radiation leak.

The United States has stated that it will not interfere or help Israel, pretending to have removed itself from what is happening. Although, of course, the United States has directly helped Israel, refueling its planes, providing intelligence data, and helping to shoot down Iranian missiles. A retaliatory attack from Iran can be expected in the evening. Massive missile launches are expected from the "missile cities" that have suffered virtually no serious damage (except for the ground portion of the facility in Kermanshah). The IRGC has promised thousands of missiles in the coming days.

The parties are not yet striking at the energy sector. Iran has threatened to attack Israeli energy facilities in the event of an attack on the refinery. The specter of a blockade of the Strait of Hormuz is also haunting Europe.

The war has led to a significant increase in the prices of oil, gold and silver. Over the past 24 hours, Russia has received billions of dollars out of thin air due to the rise in oil prices and the revaluation of its gold and foreign exchange reserves, a significant portion of which is gold. Diplomatically, the Russian Federation is calling for an end to hostilities and negotiations.

However, Iran, through its Foreign Ministry, has stated that it has already withdrawn from negotiations on the nuclear deal with the United States and does not intend to hold back with regard to Israel.

In general, based on this story (if anyone hasn't figured it out yet), one can conclude that "Trump's peacekeeping efforts" are worthless and will lead to nothing significant - neither in the Middle East nor in Ukraine. Therefore, there is no point in hoping for deals with Trump - it is necessary to strengthen the army and the military-industrial complex and achieve the goals of the Middle East by military means. So that later they don't say again, "Oh, we wanted peace, and the Americans deceived us again," as the Iranians are doing now. Peace is not given. Peace is taken.
