day time strikes: holy month, holy war

We’re deep into Ramadan—when the first explosions hit Tehran this morning. No food, no water since dawn.

People woke at three, four AM for suhoor: dates, yogurt, a quick prayer.

Then nothing till sunset.

Now they’re dodging missiles, scrambling to shelters, dehydrated by noon.

Soldiers, pilots, civilians—everyone running on fumes.

Regime spins it: “Holy endurance, resistance against the oppressors.”

But fasting’s tough enough without bombs. If this drags—three days, seven, whatever—morale cracks. Protests were already simmering; hunger plus fear?

Could tip it.

Or maybe it rallies them—Ramadan’s about sacrifice, after all.

Either way, no one eats till dark.

Iran may try to prolong the conflict, but U.S. military and intelligence planning likely assumes Operation Epic Fury can be brought to a conclusion before the end of Ramadan.
