Iran-U.S. war till 2029? Iran INCREASE missile production

 TRUMP & IRANIAN RETALIATION THREAT

Yesterday, THE WASHINGTON POST, reported, how the U.S. President, Donald Trump during last month's NATO meeting in Türkiye—cleverly bluffed everyone. To show he was departing, he boarded Air Force One. However, he secretly disembarked from the back and took another aircraft to London.

A few journalists and officials were on that second plane, but because of the officials' presence, the journalists remained under the illusion that Trump was still aboard Air Force One

Why was Trump so terrified? This was around the time of the funeral of Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh, in Tehran. 

At that funeral, there were intense calls for taking revenge on Trump, and posters reading 'Kill Trump' were prominently displayed. This deeply alarmed Trump and U.S. security agencies. They realised that Iran possesses the capability and strength to target and shoot down Air Force One. That is why he traveled in a decoy aircraft.

While these were reports circulating at the time, Trump himself has now publicly confirmed this story. 

He validated these accounts, stating that if an attack had occurred, his primary plane would have been targeted. He added, 'I only do what the security agencies advise me to do, as I constantly receive active threats'.

This confirms that Trump and U.S. agencies acknowledge Iran's capability—that Iran's missiles and drones have the reach and power to strike Air Force One in mid-air. This intelligence undoubtedly came from the CIA or other American security agencies.

IRAN'S 2029 WAR TIMELINE

According to Iranian calculations, the war with the U.S. could drag on until 2029. IRGC Senior Advisor General Naqdi stated: 'We have not yet reached our final objective'.

Iran's strategy is to adopt an attrition war designed to exhaust the American administration until the very end of Trump's presidential term. They warn that anyone attempting to strike Iran in the future will have to pay a massive price. 

Iran had previously warned that the Strait of Hormuz could remain closed until January 20th, 2029, tying the reopening directly to the fulfillment of their strategic demands. This situation could severely escalate U.S.-Iran tensions and raise global concerns over oil supplies

This blockade will inevitably disrupt global supply chains. Yesterday also, the Houthis attacked a Saudi commercial vessel in the Red Sea, resulting in the tragic deaths of several crew members, including Pakistani sailors. 

Attacks are occurring continuously across the region. Currently, the Strait of Hormuz remains closed. We now have a situation of total blockades: Iran's blockade in the Strait of Hormuz, America's blockade in the Sea of Oman, and the Houthis blockade against Saudi shipping in the Red Sea

DRONES v/s U.S. INTERCEPTOR

This web of blockades has become the daily reality for the Middle East and the GCC (Gulf Cooperation Council) nations. 

Interestingly, Iran has pointed out that America's missile reserves—whether Tomahawk cruise missiles or interceptors for their THAAD air defence systems—are rapidly depleting. After all, how many incoming targets can a system realistically intercept?

This depletion explains why the United States has deliberately scaled back its strikes. While they did strike a vessel yesterday, they are carefully rationing their missiles. If a wider war breaks out with Russia or China tomorrow, what will they deploy in the Indo-Pacific if all their reserves are exhausted here? This is putting massive pressure on Donald Trump.

Iran's leadership fully understands this vulnerability. General Naqdi, pointed out that 'while U.S. missile stocks are dwindling, Iran is rapidly accelerating its own production of missiles and drones'. 

He explicitly stated: 'Iran has produced more ballistic missiles than we have launched'.

General Naqdi added that Iran is actively supplying its surplus missiles and drones to the Houthis, Hezbollah, and Iraqi resistance forces.

He explained that Iran's massive drone production capacity is strategically designed to exhaust America's highly expensive interceptor missiles. The cost ratio is heavily in Iran's favour. 

General Naqdi concluded: 'Even if this war drags on for several years, our ballistic missiles will continue to land on our enemies'.

This reveals the immense confidence within Iran. Meanwhile, a deal between Iran and Oman is nearly complete. America's last remaining hope is that this deal succeeds, allowing Washington to declare that the Strait of Hormuz has been reopened

TRUMP CLAIMS STRAIT OF HORMUZ

Trump recently issued a bold statement, claiming: 'America has absolute control over the Strait of Hormuz, and we will maintain this control. Our naval blockade is being hailed as an "Iron Wall" that Iran cannot breach. Iran has no navy or air force to speak of. They cannot even pay their remaining soldiers. The IRGC is heavily weakened, and its personnel are deserting. Iran's leadership is completely unstable, they have no money, their economy is in shambles, and they only have fake news and 300% inflation. Iran is all talk and no action. The bully of the Middle East is no longer a bully.'

While Trump tries to project complete dominance over the Strait of Hormuz, the reality on the ground is very different. Just yesterday, Iran struck another vessel with a missile. Iran continues to target any ship that attempts to bypass Iranian-designated transit lanes in favour of U.S.-approved routes

Trump knows this reality very well. Even if U.S. forces hypothetically manage to capture key coastal positions or islands like Sirik Island, Kharg Island, Kish Island, or the port of Bandar Abbas, they still cannot secure control over the Strait of Hormuz.

We must remember history. When the U.S. launched Operation Earnest Will to escort commercial tankers with heavy warships, a South Korean vessel was being escorted. Iran launched a precise missile strike from Isfahan —hundreds of kilometres away—to demonstrate that even if the U.S. occupies the immediate coastline, Iran can easily strike targets from 200 to 300 kilometres deep within its territory.

The U.S. is fully aware of this strategic reality. That is why, despite Trump's aggressive public statements, Washington is quietly working through Oman, Qatar, and Pakistan to bring Iran to the negotiating table. They know a prolonged war will trigger severe economic constraints, driving up gasoline and fuel prices in America, which will bring immense political pressure on Donald J. Trump

MEDIATION IN PROCESS 

Meanwhile, Iran's negotiating terms remain firm. The Wall Street Journal recently published a highly revealing report showing how GCC nations—including Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Qatar, and Oman—are steadily losing faith in America's security guarantees. Despite heavy U.S. military presence, they feel Washington failed to protect them from Iran's persistent actions

Consequently, most of these Gulf states are now indicating that they are ready to accept Iran's de facto control over the Strait of Hormuz. They believe that paying a transit toll or fee to Iran is a far safer and cheaper alternative than risking another destructive war.

While they are not happy about accepting Iranian oversight on maritime transit, they view it as the 'least-damage' option. As one Gulf official noted: 'We have no choice. If a war breaks out, we will be the ones getting hit. America is thousands of miles away, while we are right here in the line of fire'. 

This shift is because a new conflict would directly threaten the critical oil and gas infrastructure of these Gulf nations. Iranian officials have made it clear that their control over the Strait of Hormuz is now irreversible and they will set the terms for regional trade and energy transit

Iran's position is highly confident. While the U.S. claimed this war would end in three days, we are now over four months into the conflict with no end in sight. When it does end, it will be on Iran's terms.

Furthermore, Iran is actively bypass-trading. They are negotiating with BRICS nations and exploring trade mechanisms using the Chinese Yuan instead of the expensive US Dollar. This shift directly challenges US global financial hegemony.

Even if Iran's domestic economy faces high inflation and their $300 billion in frozen assets  are not returned as reconstruction compensation, Iran plans to sustain its economy through Strait of Hormuz transit tolls. They are in no mood to back down.

The narrative Iran is actively building is that it harbors no enmity toward the American people. Its battle is strictly against the Zionist regime, Zionism, and specifically Trump and his administration. Consequently, Iran has made it crystal clear: they will not enter any compromise or agreement right now. They are prepared to fight for as long as Donald Trump remains in the presidency. They are ready to stretch this conflict over the long term
