WriterrNg:It has begun. Persia must inflict maximum pain on this round. |
Vic2023:It means they're dead. |
WriterrNg:All talk and bluster. In fact, Islamabad is more of an offramp for pedolf than it is a threat for Iran. If the pedolf doesn't grab this chance now and leave, he can as well kiss his career goodbye because the consequences of whatever happens hereafter would kill the Republicans in the midterms, then pave the way for the Dems to open investigation into his shady dealings that his inner circle has been profiting from since the war began. Whatever happens from tomorrow regarding the talks in Pakistan, Iran has established control over the Strait and that will not change. There is nothing surprising save use of nukes that the US has that it hasn't tried already. But, I can bet my balls, Iran has surprises that are yet to come. Pedolf will learn the hard way. American bases in the region will not be renegotiated away. Bases directly on the Persian Gulf are practically useless without military freight through the Strait, which will just not happen. The ones in Iraq are simply unmanageable without freight through Basra. So, when hostilities resume, Iran is in a stronger position. Persia is not that naive. As it negotiates, it is preparing for further aggression by the Epstein Zionist clan. The ongoing military buildup by the US only validates the belief in Tehran that the negotiations are not serious, but they played along to leverage the window it offers to regroup and replenish their ranks, which they have done handsomely. Let the firecrackers starts. Persia ready for whatever. This time, a huge surprise awaits the enemy. |
WriteerNg:Persia is patiently waiting. |
WriteerNg:Also reports of Chinese cargo planes flying in and out of Iran the past few days. Russian supplies are also coming through via the Caspian sea and Turk/Tajik border links. Round two is about to go down. |
WriteerNg:What else do you expect from a stooge. |
Well, to the NVBs here, it's official: on ships currently crossing the strait: Seyed Mahmood Nabavian, a senior member of the Iranian parliament: The crossing is done after paying the fees. When Netanyahoo (whether the AI version, dead or MIA one) bragged that he had remade the middle east, he has indeed, but not in Israel's favour. First off, it's time to stop pretending the Dow Jones is a scoreboard for war. Investors care about profit, not peace. During the two wasted decades in Afghanistan, defense stocks like Lockheed Martin soared while the actual mission was falling apart. A high stock market doesn't mean a country is winning a war; it just means the business of war is still making money,.and that is exactly what Trump and his Epstein cronies did with this war ---they made billions manipulating the markets. The state lost, the elites wins. Secondly, this wasn't your typical pitched battle in an open field. It was much more embarrassing than that. You had two nuclear-armed global powers with the best satellites and air forces in the world being held back and battered by a "small" heavily sanctioned country. When a nation with a fraction of the budget uses cheap drones and smart tactics to stop a billion-dollar military, it proves that high-tech doesn't always mean invincible. Let's not talk about "allies" because is actually a bit of a joke at this point. The U.S. supposedly leads NATO’s 32 countries and massive groups like the "Quad," but when it actually came time to fight this specific war, most of them stayed home. Even major European partners refused to join naval missions in the Red Sea because they didn't want to be dragged into the mess. A leader isn't a leader if no one follows them into the fire. For years, the U.S. treated the Middle East like its own backyard, keeping troops in places like Oman, Qatar, Bahrain, and Iraq. But that "protection" has failed. After just a few weeks of real heat with Iran, those bases are disappearing. We’ve seen troops leave Syria, and they are basically being kicked out of Iraq. Moving from twenty bases down to just two isn't a strategy; it’s a hasty exit because the host countries realized the U.S. couldn't actually protect them. So yes, Trump and Netanyahu "remade" the region, but they did it by breaking the old system. They’ve left Israel in a more dangerous spot than ever and destroyed American influence in the process. Instead of a region controlled by the West, we now see Arab nations looking toward China and Russia because they’ve realized the old "protection" was a hollow promise. Anyone still calling this a success is just trolling. Trying to spin a massive retreat as a win is insulting to anyone actually watching the facts. At some point, the cheerleading has to stop and people have to admit that the old era of control is simply over. |
WriteerNg:Na everybody the two weeks ceasefire go favour. Na Iran e go favour pass. |
WriteerNg:About time you grow some balls . But, you need to do the action than the talking. |
tonididdy:Get your facts right. Iran blockaded the strait. The US tried for long to get it opened but failed. Then it resorted to blockade the Iran blockade by blockading the strait from farther off up front. Unfortunately, the area the US claimed to have blockaded is wider and far larger than the narrow Strait itself that Iran has blockaded. As a result, some ships continue to sail through the US blocked area uninterrupted while they can't sail through the main strait without paying Iran the $2 million dollar fee. In other words, nobody is paying the US to get farther past the strait at length, and Iran got America to pressure Israel and force Lebanon to be part of the ceasefire by virtue of its side of the blockade, meaning the US bowed to Iranian terms, not the other way round. Moreover, the only thing giving the US that fake sense of blockade is the two weeks ceasefire. Once that elapse, the so-called centcom blockading ships will vanish like ghosts because they'd be easy picking for Iranian missiles and drones when hostilities resume. We hope peace starts from here. But whatever comes from here onward, Persia still holds the aces. The US has failed to achieve any of its objectives leading to this war. |
Namaster:I feel so ashamed and embarrassed for the US. During the war, they did not dare say blockade let alone enforcing one. But immediately the ceasefire started, they declared blockade like it's some kind of victory song by kids playing in the backyard. Well, watch as they'd all melt away like ice once the two weeks ceasefire expires. |
LordAdam16:Exactly. That's why I said he got mixed up with the wrong clan. |
chariisGRACE:Pedolf is possessed by a demon of madness and clownery. Iran that destroyed a US destroyer 600 miles away deep in the open sea will have an easy picking of those blockading ships. Na suicide mission be that. |
WriteerNg:And make the blockade even more blocksdier. Don Tsu. |
LordAdam16:Like I said the talks will go nowhere. Well played Vance, well played. But, we are just getting started. |
LordAdam16:It's a real pity he is picked to head the sacrificial lamb team attempting to manage what is almost no longer unmanageable. In recent times, I have been studying Trump and the evangelical movement in the US vis-a-vis their relationship with Zionism and Satan worship cloaked in Christian robe. Did you see the recent picture Trump posted on Truth Social depicting himself as a "saint healer" with a horned out demon above him? The person he purported to be healing looks like Epstein. What is happening to pedolf and satanyahu is not like but factually cult like. Vpotus has got himself mixed into the wrong crowd. He won't succeed because he is not in control of what terms to negotiate on. The Epstein clan does. They picked him on purpose to set him up for the fail and taint whatever good reputation he has left since he isn't a member The Epstein cult has already decided Trump won't be finishing his term and they're trying to get Vance out of the way and positioned their own anointed favorite. Don't forget they control both parties. This talks will not yield anything concrete if Trump doesn't take the off ramp on offer---declare victory and call it a day---escalation will resume immediately if he thinks or he is made to believe by his Epstein handlers that taking the off ramp would be too much a disgrace to bear. Thus, vpotus will have to come up with his own best laid plans. I don't know how he is going to do it but he must take control of the negotiation terms on offer from his side, push ahead what he knows is reasonably acceptable and best for the moment or die trying to keep his career undented while standing firm on his side maximalist terms. I am starting to believe Vance has come to the point where the best way out for him right now is to resign honorably before the whole ship sinks beneath him. |
FoolishBoy419:The Zelezombie way of defense. ![]() |
freshpzy1:It's post like this from shallow and narrow minded Christians like you that rubbishes the faith. You make it sound like God is a bias, selective God, which He is not. Ezekiel 18:4 (KJV) Behold, all souls are mine; as the soul of the father, so also the soul of the son is mine: the soul that sinneth, it shall die. Every nation has a place in God. The life of everyman is invaluable to God, whether the Palestinians, the Jews, the Greeks, the Spaniards, the French, the Africans, and what have you, all belong to and are treated equal by God. That God used A to bring light to B doesn't mean He treats A better than B or is B lesser than A. So, if you kill an innocent Palestinian because you feel you're obligated to as a chosen, you would be killed also as a murderer. For God is a God of justice. That is exactly what Israel is getting from Iran for its genocidal escapades. If nazi genocide of Jews was bad and was condemned, Israeli genocide of Palestinians is evil and should be condemned, not condoned out of a warp sense of religion. |
Vic2023:This is Israel at work. |
Well, this war has been one hell of an interesting ride. We did predict that there would be a lot of surprises and there were. We predicted before the war that Iran will put up a determine show; they not only did but also exceeded all expectations in so much that even the enemy was forced to admit their surprise. Lets not even talk about who lost or gain more from this conflict. Let's just focus on the current ceasefire agreement. Before you take Iran to the cleaners for accepting the ceasefire, remember war is stark reality that demands equally real and critical appraisal, and not a movie one can view and appraise on the basics of emotions. I believe the US this time will keep its side of the ceasefire bargain for obvious reasons: 1. Trump has become war-weary, and this is evident by the senseless and conflicting statements he puts out regularly. When the president of the US of A openly said, "Praise be to Allah," you know the bidenization of his brain is complete due to fatigue. 2. His tactics and strategies used in manipulating the markets and enforce artificial price control has become redundant, stale and ineffective as the market eventually starts to emit the real picture swayed by the market forces of supply and demand vis-a-vis the logistical and political bottlenecks that determine actual prices in real time. 3. American bodybags is on the rise and the speed at which they were losing equipments and assets is getting increasingly embarrassing. Above all, the cost of the war has started getting to ordinary Americans as evident by the recent protest that took place across the country. Had this war gone any further say by another two weeks, millions would hit the streets calling for his resignation or impeachment. Nothing drives Americans crazier than when they're forced to pay extra from their pockets for gas and eggs. 4. Plus you have the midterms fast approaching.. Against these backdrops, the US is more likely to keep to its part of the ceasefire than violate it with impunity. Moreover, this is the best opportunity for taco to escape the quagmire he got himself into. He will never get a better chance to quit and savage whatever reputation he has left of his political career. Notwithstanding, this ceasefire doesn't mean the war is over. Certainly not for Israel. The genocidal vipers have already issued an evacuation order for the whole of southern Lebanon. It's clear they're hell bent on achieving the greater Israel plan, which includes the whole of Southern Lebanon encompassing the Litani river. How Iran will respond to this remain to be seen. Israel will do anything humanly possible to kill the ceasefire. But, one thing is certain though: everyone needs this ceasefire. Iran needs it to reorganize their ranks By the way, China keeps sending more AD systems and materials for making new ones to Iran. Russia is doing the same via the humanitarian corridor. Iran can build only-God-knows-how-many drones and missiles in a week. Factor in the ones Russia and China can supply in two weeks. Uncle Sam can build maybe a dozen or two missiles in a month. Israel's capacity to build and rearm rapidly is closely knitted to the US own capacity as well. Meaning, if the genocidal vipers are looking for round two, it won’t be them that will start or finish stronger. From whatever angle you look at this, Persia holds the aces, and the odds favours it. |

LordAdam16:I really think they were testing the waters to see how Iran could potentially react in a real ground invasion scenario. That is, what countermeasures are in place by the Iranians, and how they can possibly overcome them. Well, like you said, the test results turns out to mirror the actual horror and hesitation harboured by most of the generals in Pentagon who simply refused to need Trump's order of a full fledged ground invasion. War secretary Hegseth should be looking like a fuul right now, after sacking those nyet generals. That said, I think the fiasco surrounding this daring move is a failed attempt to put special forces boots on the ground deep in Isfahan. The target being the enriched uranium stored deep beneath the ground. If that is the case as some analysts suggest, then I must say it's a stupid move except they were actively banking on something on the Iranian sides. It looks like they were relying on an insider whose role was supposed to facilitate the process but might as well be acting as a double mole unknown to themselves, and the result is the catastrophe we just witnessed. You can't convince me they made all that sacrifice and took such high risk just to save one airman. At least, not with several C-130s. It doesn't add up. Conclusion: it was a failed attempt to put boots on the ground. The fact that they are still moving into the region similar ground invasion assets validate that assertion and further entails they will try again, howbeit from another theatre/location. Persia must remain vigilant and watch out for smokescreen Ops. The good news though is that it is clearer the USrael team is running very low on long range munitions, which explains why they're sending more planes deep into enemy lines and recording many losses back to back. A lot more surprises awaits in this brouhaha. |

dvkot:Putting the lives of a dozen soldiers at risk just to save one is entertainment for you----but it's super st*pidity to logic. There was no way that pilot would have been killed had Iran got to him first. Worst case scenario, a parade before cameras, and that would have been it. He is more valuable alive for Iran than dead. But, I don't expect the Epstein class and their supporters to understand anyway. |
WriteerNg:Hmmmm Putin's dream of a Soviet type Navy is in full swing. |
Truthfulone1:The ground operation in earnest. Bodybags in the making. Trump's political career is over. |
LordAdam16:Well, on the flip side, this could also be a deliberate strategy by Iran to fool the Americans into thinking the ground troops scenario may not be as risky as they envisaged. |
same strait Iran firstly blocked is now of no importance.
