⚡Iran's Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei:

• For me sitting in the place where two great leaders, Imam Khomeini and the martyr Khamenei once sat is difficult.

• We will not forget avenging the blood of the martyrs.

• We thwarted attempts to divide the country.

• We believe in friendship with neighbors, and we target only military bases, and we will necessarily continue to do so.

• We will, in any case, obtain compensation from the enemy.

If they refuse, we will take from their assets to the extent we deem appropriate; and if that is not possible, we will destroy an equivalent amount of their property.

Saudi Arabia too weak.

U no go believe say dem dey on the opposite end of the Strait of Hormuz.

Yet dem no fit cough. Only Iran dey call the shots.
Satan Arabia cannot physically unblock the strait from their opposite side because the strait narrow course for larger ships only runs directly across Iranian maritime control lines.

The only thing Saudi can do is to circumvent the blockade by directly exporting oil (5-7 bpd) through the red sea. Unfortunately, that cannot replace the 17-21 millions bpd that usually goes through the strait. Moreover, the Houthis are waiting for them on the other side of the sea. A simple call from Tehran would instantly set the pipelines on 🔥.

So, in all angles, Iran had them by the balls. cool

I was really surprised by this because it proves that Iran's first stage layered defenses did a good job, and all the enemy's calculus about Iran's AD size, the ones destroyed and available are way, way wrong. Iran truly prepared for a long haul.

After absorbing the initial massive strikes from the hegemon and its pet project, wasting a larger proportion of their ammos, it make sense to now bring up the real defense systems that would make it easier for Tehran to curtail the enemy's strikes. Also, this entails Iran is preparing for something massive---something that could trigger huge repercussions or so.

We haven't seen the last of this war yet. There is more surprises to come.

na the mending wen iran dey give usrael nai dey give them mind to drop these nuggets in public

the us is now caught in a catch-22
any punitive action against the gulf during this war is good for iran
so the gulf can say and do whatever they like, and they have to swallow the insult

-Lord
The mending really drove some sense into them.It has become obvious to some of them that, Iran isn't just the only endgame for the enemy. For the US, Tehran might be, but for the genocidal vipers, the entire Middle East is the ultimate price---use one stone to kill ten birds. That's why they've tried to drag the Gulf states into the fray by carrying out false flag ops. So far, things haven't yielded fruits.

This is the moment Iran need to step onore on the firing pedal. Beat the genocidal vipers to a pub. Get as much tears as you can get from their geopolitical eyes. Now that the US is in no position to defend Israel the way it should, hammer their strategic assets like mad until the yahooboy begs for a ceasefire. In fact, I want a situation where the IRGC should make it a matter of state policy and strategic interest to eliminate Netanyahoo, whether now or in peace time. Otherwise, this occultic man won't stop coming back for blood and destabilization of the region. His death will not only send shockwaves across the Baal worshipping Zionist and Evangelicals who thinks they can force Jesus to come against His will, it would also set a perfect deterrence against future assassination of heads of states by this occultic groups.

As for the US, remember we said it here that a big disgrace awaits them. Well, we have seen it today. This war has not only exposed the delusion that underlines their global primacy over the years, it further exposed the weakness that comes with US military overextension and the danger it poses to host nations. I'm confident that, when this war wraps up, some of the ME states will rethink their commitment to US security cooperation and partnership. While some might not do away with it altogether, aligning with other peer powers especially from a rival club, would become almost impossible to resist. This is where BRICS, the SCO led by China and Russia comes in to play. This war is a blessing to this groups. The US have dealt itself a strategic geopolitical defeat, the consequences of which would be felt later on after this current show of disgrace draws to a sadistic but face-saving close.

What are you afraid of?


[quote author=WriterrNg post=138714448]⚡Trump said ships waiting at the Strait of Hormuz should “show some guts” and move through the waterway despite tensions with Iran.

They've started setting the grounds for their retreat.

Next they'll tell us Iran has reached out for a ceasefire and negotiations.

Then they'll shamelessly claim to have met all objectives and therefore won the war, all while pulling their troops and assets from the burning regions.

Then Trump will start tweeting seventeen times a day, singing about the superiority and greatness of America and its military force, in a bid to placate and further brainwash his citizens, most of which will certainly be convinced, because those obese sacs of hamburgers are too lazy to think for themselves anyway😂.

Next, the orange paedo will start looking for the next country to bully to bolster the depleted resources of the comatose empire.

The $200 benchmark is the end goal.

Not only will it allow key axis members (Iran and Russia) to rake in the best amount, it would weaken the west leverage over how and in what terms this war should end.

Meanwhile, expect protests in western cities soon. It has already started against Netanyahoo in Israel. Israelis are now protesting against him and the war he brought upon them.

You see....

When the US came out with the news this week that Russia is actively helping Iran with coordinates and Intel used in targeting the he US military and infrastructure in the ongoing war, it was because of this. The amount of casualties they were receiving was too high and they had to come out in frustration to accuse the Russians for being the cause.

Also, accusing the Russians for these mass casualties is another way of covering their own failures of underestimating the Iranian response and escalation capabilities, and also their overconfidence in assuming they'd from start to finish have the war under their control.

This reality is what would eventually bring down the Trump's administration. I trust insiders for the Dems to come out with the real figures a month or two before the midterms.

Trump has dug his political grave.

My brother, its baffled me that it was Trump of all people that fell for this nonsense war.

The US war think-tanks has gamed the Iranian. War scenario multiple times, and on each occasion, the result turned out to be the same: Iran can't be defeated without unprecedented cost and damage to the US war machine and economy.

Now, what changed? Why Trump? Is he really ready to risk it all just to have it on record I'm the man who defeated Iran? I'm still finding it hard to understand the rationale behind this war, aside the Zionist diabolic scheme and the China containment policy that is also backfiring in all indices.

⚡Adm. Brad Cooper, head of CENTCOM, said Iran’s missile launches have dropped about 90 percent since the first day of fighting, and drone launches are down 83 percent.

But Iran still retains a significant arsenal. U.S. officials told Congress in classified briefings that Iran may still have about 50 percent of its missile program intact, along with even more of its drones.
I hope you ain't misleading Trump further you're just being ignorant.

The volume of strikes has dropped because Iran no longer need to waste drones and missiles in salvos since the US and Israel has used up majority of their interceptors against the initial salvos during the early stages.

Hence, what 10 to 20 missiles could have done, one or two are now getting the job done.

Keep underestimating Iran to your peril.

Persia tie wrapper, come use belt hold am for this war.

Moreover, the draw down on volumes of strikes also has to do with the fact that other potential state actors like the European slaves could enter the fray alongside the twin terrorist brothers. Hence, Tehran need to be calculative and reserve the better part of their Arsenals for further escalation.

If that front opens today, well, it would be a match made in heaven for Tehran because, the useless Europeans would run out of munitions faster than the US has done; their pet project Ukraine and their grandmaster Russia has ensured that scenario over the years.

Putin would love nothing more than. Such an opportunity to hit hard at Britain, France, in the cover of Tehran for all the crimes they've committed against the motherland via Ukraine.
