LordAdam16:It's becoming comical, If not outright pathetic. You want war, you've got it. Fight and stop complaining. You knew you're a one-bomb state, but you went looking for trouble that could bring death to you. Enjoy the show while it last. |
WriteerNg:Trump has effectively made Iran the Middle East policeman, prosecutor and judge. Iran has not only lifted economic sanctions (however temporal) on axis members via the ME, it now dictates who sells, who buys, who lives in peace or in pieces. Persia to the moon. |
WriteerNg:Logically, picture and try decipher what this man is saying. In essence, "we have nukes already, but we're not even thinking about them." Surprises go surplus for this ongoing war. ![]() |
Lightangel65:You got the drift. |
Stoplying:Without air coverage, they will not last 48 hours. |
LordAdam16:I want India out of that setup. It's the weakling in the chain. |
WriteerNg:Remember in Jewish media reporting, injured means killed. ![]() |
LordAdam16:Who told you that nonsense? The dancing missile after dancing its way past the "irony doomed" interceptors fell on an open field, and it was the shout of joy by the genocidal scumbags occupying the building that led to them sustaining minor bruises. |
LordAdam16:Matching escalation madness with equal madness. Persia's fury on steroids. Iran ready for whatever. |
ariesbull:I have already moved on from that charade. You can't undead a dead man, not even with a body double. His son has been sitting Shiva (a Jewish tradition of mourning the dead) and has taken a sabbatical from his regular twitting habits on X shortly after Iran claimed it attacked the father's location. I don't care what anyone else has to say. All I know is that the thousands of innocent children murdered in cold blood in Gaza must, and is being avenged by Persia. US military primacy is being torn to shreds before a global audience. And the axis are winning handsomely on the economic frontiers. |
FoolishBoy419:Well, it is definitely a head-scratcher when you look at the timing. But, the more you look at it, the more sense it makes that they did not close it pre-war. For a long time, Iran did use the threat of closing Hormuz as its biggest "bargaining leverage." Keeping it open wasn't really about being generous or offering free passage; it allows Iran to stay connected to the global economy. As long as the strait stayed open, Iran could still try to sell its own oil and keep some diplomacy alive with countries like China and India. If they had closed the strait back when the sanctions were first reinstated, it likely would have provoked this war much sooner, which could have closed the window of preparation Iran badly needed. Closing a major global shipping lane is usually seen as an "act of war" by the rest of the world. By waiting until the actual fighting began on February 28, Iran was able to use the closure as a direct military and economic move rather than just a political protest. That patience is what has steered the war in its favour today. Now that the war is in full swing and the U.Sreal camp decided to hit their oil hubs, Iran is also making sure no one else can move oil through that area either. The strategy is all about "if we can’t sell ours, nobody can sell theirs as well," and that has sent global prices skyrocketing. It was a master plan by Persia. Now, they're not just getting the sanctions lifted, but also making a tonne of money from allowing passage through the strait---these would never have been possible pre-war. |
WriteerNg:The plane has been lost. Na why dem dey post this thing when no be news. ![]() |
Truthfulone1:Oya, its time for the Dimona retribution. |
Truthfulone1:Hezbollah busy deleting Israeli soldiers like flies. |
Hamxas:Majority of the videos they were posting were outright fake. Some were from old clips edited to look recent. They even copied and posted videos from game consoles to show their air supremacy and control over Iranian airspace. But, the fact remains they were never close to controlling the skies let alone flying freely over it. The few times they've tried saw their planes getting shot down. The F35 hit was the nail on the coffin of that narrative. |
Watcharena:Sorry, I will answer for a $2 million help fee. |
WriteerNg:That is, after the $2 million passsge fee has been paid for each tanker. Good bizness, Iran. ![]() |
Alamkiir:Iran has missiles that can reach US mainland. If after all these years of US warmongering and destructive postures against Iran the Iranian authorities hasn't develop such capability, then I have a rock to sell anyone in the doubt. When we told the NVBs here that there'd be lot of surprises for the US in this war, they thought we were just bragging. Targeting Diego Garcia is a message. I don't expect the NVBs here to understand what that means, but those grey haired generals in Pentagon got the message. From my golden, logical appleyard of sound geopolitical view and deductive reasoning, I put it to you once again that, Persia already has nukes. Time will vindicate my conclusions. |
LordAdam16:Omo. Our predictions and analysis just dey come to pass anyhow. ![]() Foolishboy419, they've started removing the sanctions by themselves while still receiving premium beating from Persia. ![]() The Gulf monarchs would be looking like morons right now. Russian oil sanctions lifted without Putin breaking a sweat. Iranian oil sanctions lifted without China breaking a sweat. The Europeans and the Gulf states learning that geopolitics is not a game of butter and cheese. Givi, Motorola, and Kharmenei extends their greetings from Paradise to agent Trumpilov of the 66th SVR Regiment in Warri port city of Kalinigrad. |
FoolishBoy419:That's an insult on the S-400. It was built to detect and destroy stealth flying objects. Turkey bought it because they saw and knew what happened to US stealth planes flying to and fro the Icirlik airbase and over Syria. It was primarily because of the S-400 that the US introduced CAATSA. They feared the proliferation of the system that could challenge America's air dominance. Well, here we are....Iran is taking out one of US most advanced and reliable air asset with less advanced but sophisticated ADs. Against the S-400, it would be an overkill. |
Procashtips:Its a distraction. Congress will not permit any ground invasion of Iran that includes hundreds of thousands of troops. The war is already getting unpopular, even among lawmakers that were staunch Trump supporters. The 5k troop is part of the US special forces and amphibious setup ordered recently to reinforce the US army and navy and highten its posture in the fight against Iran. Without air supremacy over Iran, the US cannot risk any ground operation deep inside Iran. Worst case scenario would be to confront the Iraqi militia that is making operational life difficult for the US in that part of the region. Don't forget they were the once that downed the KC135 aerial refueling tanker and damaged another over Iraqi airspace. If the US and Israel must use the Iraqi and Kuwaiti airspace and border areas unchallenged, then they must have to deal with the militia threat, and it appeared that is where things are headed. |
emmaodet:Nothing secret here. The Iraqi Shia militia has dealt with them savagely, targeting their locations almost three times a day. There seem to be some kind of understanding reached that gives those NATO countries that are not direct partners in the ongoing war to leave. Trump is the last person a typical European would risk his life for. I'm all his excesses, that Greenland gambit was the straw for the Europeans. Meanwhile, reports coming in indicates that some generals in Pentagon are planning to turn in their resignations following unhinged statements from Hegseth that said there are no rules of engagement blah blah, in the aftermath of the elementary school bombing that killed more than a hundred female students. Kent resignation is just the starting point. Every sane mind in the pdf maladministration will soon throw in the towel and abandon him to his peril . |
WriteerNg:All of them are abandoning the sinking ship now that time allows it. Uncle Sam will learn what it takes to fight alone. |
LordAdam16:That pilot will never go near the cursed F35 again. |
emmaodet:If they didn't risk sending the F35 in the first week, why send it now that Iran has rolled out some of its best AD systems? It only means one thing: Uncle Sam is fast running out of standoff strike munitions. Of course, the F35 is the greatest boondoggle of the 21st century. Most Russian radars can detect it hundreds of miles away. |
"The pilot is in a stable condition"--- says centom on the F35 incidence. Well, death is a stable condition, and actually the most stable condition there is. ![]() |
Mikasaobi:Everything will fall into place and the truh will finds it way up from the fog of deception. |
ariesbull:Our ancestors were too daft and religiously inclined to stand their ground. |
LordAdam16:That's the logical reason folks like us have concluded that Mileikowsky aka Bibi from Poland is dead. People that are alive don't generally go about making fake AI videos that they're alive. They just go about their normal business. Israel doesn't fool me. It took them 8 good years to admit Ariel Sharon was dead. What they're doing now with BIbi isn't different. That's the Zionist cult for you. There was a video of Bessent leaving a conference room to receive a call, when he returned, he looked visibly shaken. I'm still trying to get my hands on that video. Okay, let's call that speculation. The best evidence so far he is dead is the son. Prior to the Iranian alleged strike targeting Netanyahoo, he used to twit 30-50 times a day on Twitter. But, for the past 6 days, the boy has suddenly stopped twitting. He is probably sitting Shiva. That medical episode narrative is plausible, but the available dots when logically summed entails the child killer is now resting in pieces on Epstein Island. |
LordAdam16:I agree with you on Bessent. There was no way Iran was going to cut off China from that 140 million barrels. And it's not like the US is a position to direct where or whom the oil gets to. So, Bessent is daydreaming. What's more? Iran has already cemented China's position in this unfolding scheme. Every oil going through the strait as allowed by the IRGC is to be paid for on Chinese currency. And this policy is already in effect. The US is in no position to dictate the terms anymore. Iran holds the knife and the yam at the moment. All the US is doing now is just damage and narrative control. The reality speaks otherwise. Iran prepared for this pretty well. And with those huge column of "humanitarian aids" trucks going to them from Russia/China via Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan and Tajikistan, I trust them to hold the line and keep Hormuz under lock and key until the empire will finally say I've had enough and quit. |
dermmy:They will soon hit the streets by the time they start paying for extra costs of gas and eggs from their pockets. Americans hate that very much. Na the reason why Trump dey unsanctioned oil everywhere. |
Mikasaobi:The man is dead,.but they have to keep up the morale of their forces. IDF Jews are not built like Persians. The announced and confirmed death of the prime minister will send thousands of soldiers packing their boots and heading home to Europe where they came from. |
