More Attacks Back and Forth on Day 2 of 3-Day Alert

(20 July 2026) It is now 10 pm MST July 20, or, 4 AM GMT, July 21. We have been watching events centered on Iran and its regime, waiting for escalation of what looks to be the Second Signpost.

The Strait of Hormuz has been closed for 142 days. The global storage of oil of 1.2 billion barrels has been mostly emptied.

An alert was posted on this site two days ago that we may be hours or days away from the Second Signpost breaking wide open.

We saw Iran put the US on notice two days ago, about retaliation for the US destroying any Iranian power plants and/or continuing its attacks regardless saying,

“If the Americans continue the war in the next two or three days, we will enter a phase of full-scale offensive and destruction.”

So we are now on day 2 of the “two or three days.” This Newsmax article reports that the US and Iran continue attack each other on this tenth day of the US starting attacks again.

The US is attacking positions it hopes will hobble Iran’s ability to attack ships in the Strait. Iran is attacking US bases, having hit a base way over in Jordan that killed 3 US soldiers.

Conclusion

Tomorrow will be three days of the “next two or three days.” Either Iran makes good on its threat or does not.

If it follows through, the Second Signpost begins at that time and is no longer delayed. If it does not, we stand down and wait to see if the Second Signpost comes along some other day.

As always, keep watch.
