US Military Staging.

​Naval Power: The US has concentrated its largest naval force in the region in decades. The USS Abraham Lincoln carrier strike group is operating in the Arabian Sea. The USS Gerald R. Ford—the world’s largest carrier—has entered the Mediterranean and is pushing toward the region. Once in position, the US will have 17 warships in the theater, including guided-missile destroyers and submarines.

​Air Power & Tankers: Dozens of advanced fighters (F-22s, F-35s, F-16s) have been repositioned. Crucially, roughly 30 to 40 KC-135 and KC-46 aerial refueling tankers have been moved to European and Middle Eastern transit hubs.

​The Strategic Read: The tanker ratio is the primary indicator of intent. It provides the logistical backbone required to launch and sustain a prolonged, multi-wave air campaign using bombers and fighters from bases safely outside the range of Iran's short-range ballistic missiles.
​The Diplomatic Track (Geneva)

​The Talks: Indirect nuclear negotiations between the US and Iran just wrapped up a second round in Geneva, mediated by Oman.

​The Status: Tehran claims an agreement on "general guiding principles" was reached, but independent analysts confirm no actual breakthrough has occurred. Defense and diplomatic experts currently rate the probability of a diplomatic resolution versus military conflict at 50-50.

​The Ultimatum: The White House has issued a 15-day deadline for a meaningful deal, explicitly threatening targeted strikes on Iran's nuclear facilities and air defenses if the talks collapse.
​Adversary Maneuvers & Intelligence

​Joint Naval Drills: Russia, China, and Iran are actively executing "Maritime Security Belt 2026" naval exercises in the Gulf of Oman and the Strait of Hormuz. Russian warships, including the corvette Stoikiy, are docked at Iran's Bandar Abbas naval base.

​Chinese Support: Beijing categorically opposes a US strike and has bolstered Tehran with cybersecurity and intelligence support. In late January, China also flew 16 military cargo planes into Iran, likely delivering technical or logistical aid. However, China's posture remains defensive; they are signaling political alignment, not preparing to enter a hot war on Iran's behalf.

​Iranian Posture: Iran is actively conducting live-fire missile drills near the Strait of Hormuz, has issued numerous airspace hazard warnings (NOTAMs) for drone and rocket tests, and maintains that any strike will trigger a regional war.

Right now, there is no confirmed US or Israeli attack on Iran, but the region is sitting in one of its most dangerous moments in years. The US and Israel have sharply escalated military pressure on Iran, while at the same time China and Russia are running joint naval exercises with Iran in the Strait of Hormuz. Diplomacy is still technically ongoing — but all sides are positioning as if conflict is a real possibility.

WHAT THE US & ISRAEL ARE DOING

The United States has significantly increased its military presence around the Gulf, moving aircraft carriers, fighter jets, and air-defence systems into the region. Israel has openly stated it is preparing strike options against Iranian targets if negotiations fail. Officials describe this as “pressure,” but it is a full war posture — not routine signalling.

WHAT IRAN IS DOING

Iran has responded with large-scale military drills, including missile tests and live-fire naval exercises. At points, it has temporarily restricted traffic through the Strait of Hormuz — one of the world’s most critical energy routes. Tehran says any attack on its territory will be met with retaliation, including against regional bases and shipping.

THE CHINA & RUSSIA FACTOR

At the same time, China and Russia have deployed warships to conduct joint naval exercises with Iran in and around the Strait of Hormuz. These drills aren’t massive invasion fleets, but they are a clear political message: Iran is not isolated, and any war risks wider global consequences. This is about deterrence, coordination, and signalling in a multipolar world.

WHY THIS MATTERS

This isn’t just another Middle East flare-up. You now have multiple nuclear-armed powers operating military forces in the same narrow waterways, during an active crisis. Even a “limited” strike could spiral through miscalculation, retaliation, or accidents at sea. That’s why this moment matters — not because war has started, but because all the pieces are on the board.Right now, there is no confirmed US or Israeli attack on Iran, but the region is sitting in one of its most dangerous moments in years.

We’re being told that quantum technology is “the future” — inevitable, neutral, unstoppable. What this manifesto makes clear is that this is a lie of omission. A growing number of quantum scientists are publicly warning that their work is being quietly folded into military systems, surveillance infrastructure, and geopolitical arms races. This isn’t sci-fi. It’s happening now, through funding structures, defence partnerships, and “dual-use” research that pretends it has no moral direction.
The authors of this manifesto are not anti-science. They are scientists. And they’re saying plainly: technology is not neutral. Who funds research shapes what gets built, who it serves, and who it harms. Quantum computing, sensing, navigation, and cryptography are already being developed for battlefield advantage, population control, and intelligence dominance — often under the cover of academic respectability.
What they’re asking for is both radical and reasonable: transparency about military funding in universities, open ethical debate within scientific communities, and a refusal to let public research become a subcontractor for war. This echoes earlier moments in history when scientists had to confront the consequences of their work — from nuclear weapons to mass surveillance — and decide whether silence was complicity.
This matters even if you’re not a physicist. These systems will shape borders, policing, warfare, and power for decades. The question isn’t whether quantum tech will exist — it’s who it will belong to, and whose lives it will be used against. This manifesto is a rare moment of resistance from inside the machine. It deserves to be read, shared, and taken seriously.

For seven years now, we have stood firm against fascism, hatred and bigotry — not just in words, but in actions. It hasn’t been easy. Speaking out comes with a cost. We’ve been threatened. We’ve been doxxed. We’ve received multiple death threats. We’ve endured years of abuse, intimidation and attempts to silence us (from both sides, sadly). But we are still here.

Because standing against racism, against hate, against authoritarianism is bigger than any one threat. It’s about protecting our communities. It’s about defending dignity. It’s about making it clear that bigotry has no home here. Through all of it, the support you have shown us has meant everything. The messages, the shares, the research and information you send. The solidarity in the comments. The quiet words of encouragement when things felt heavy. You have strengthened us more than you know.

Every share spreads truth. Every message builds a connection. Every act of solidarity reminds us that we are not alone in this fight. We want to say clearly and sincerely: thank you. Thank you for your loyalty. Thank you for your love. Thank you for standing shoulder to shoulder with us.

This work continues because of our steadfast anti-fascist community. Because of courage. Because of collective strength. No to racism. No to bigotry. No to hate. And always — solidarity and love.

Anarchy is the refusal to obey when obedience means helping someone steal land, life, or dignity. It’s feeding people without asking power for permission.
It’s saying no to conscription, eviction, occupation, and every badge that pretends abuse is law.

These acts aren’t symbolic. They’re the DNA of a world built on mutual aid, consent, and solidarity instead of domination 🗣️
