Israel exposed the IRGC’s Unit 4000 in April. Sources say the Quds Force renamed Unit 840 as Unit 600 in October. What’s confirmed, and what isn’t.
The original series predicted an IRGC cyber-sabotage campaign against the UAE’s Fujairah pipeline. What actually reshaped the Gulf was a Saudi-UAE rupture and the real closure of Hormuz.
Pre-war analysts predicted an IRGC coup was the most plausible way Iran’s regime could break. When Khamenei was killed, the mechanism that followed matched their prediction almost exactly — just triggered from outside, not from within.
When Khamenei was killed in the opening days of the 2026 war, formal power passed to his son within a week. Real power moved somewhere else — a wartime command structure that experts now call the actual ruler of Iran.
CommandEleven’s rewritten Garrison State series: how the IRGC filled the vacuum at the top of Iran’s wartime government, whether it was a coup, and what actually reshaped the Gulf.
Pakistan suspended trade with Iran at Taftan and Gabd-Rimdan, and a rumour of US warships followed. We separate the measure from the noise and score what our Makkah Pact dossier said about this lever.
Bessent promised Iran’s airlines grounded, its oil gone and Tehran at the table. Eight weeks on, we score each promise, and our own August calls, against the record.
Seized parts show the Houthis trying to build Iran’s Kheibar Shekan at home with Chinese components. What was found, what it changes, and what is unproven.
US strikes on Iran are paused until the midterms, but Hormuz attacks hit a record, the Houthis hit Saudi airports and Iran rebuilds. October’s status brief.
We scored 10 CommandEleven Intelligence calls on China’s role in the Iran war: 4 confirmed, 1 partial, 4 open, 1 not borne out, plus what we missed and corrected.
1,300 shipments, propellant ships, satellite imagery and a UN veto: CommandEleven Intelligence maps how China supplied Iran’s 2026 war while keeping deniability.
Iran’s gig-terror model from the 2026 Hatzola arson to RAF Fairford: how HAYI escalated in target but not capability, and what Fairford cannot yet show.
MacDill breach and RAF Fairford arrests, hours apart in Sept 2026: every 2026 incident at both bases tested against the Iran war’s rear-area campaign.
Five arrested beside RAF Fairford, Sept 2026: the pre-incident FPCON Delta posture, the HAYI proxy model, and why Iran is the leading, unproven suspect.
Three dossiers on the Iran war’s rear area: the averted RAF Fairford plot, the MacDill breach, and the gig-economy model behind Europe’s 2026 proxy attacks.
Jet-powered Geran-4/5 drones are a real threat. The viral ‘target maps’ are influence products. CommandEleven separates signal from signaling.
