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. |
[quote author=WriteerNg post=138827329] wasting your time trying to convince the NVBs here on Netanyahoo. You catch person office dey post AI videos of the person several times, wetin you want take others do again. Just leave them make them live in their make belief world. Let's focus on Persia and Russia making more money during war time. |
LordAdam16:All our analysis and gamed out possible outcomes are being fulfilled. Persia will emerge the winner. |
Mikasaobi:Probably. A body double will keep the momentum going for the Zionist cult elites. Plus, they need to keep the morale, seeing Israel is fighting a ground operation on the hez front. The last thing foot soldiers need now is the death of the man who started all this. Eventually, it will come out. They can't keep it wrapped up for ever. |
WriteerNg:Like I said earlier, Israel will get its share of the retribution the same way the Gulf states have receive theirs since the IDF strike on the Iranian gas field. |
LordAdam16:The US now appears to be running out of stand-off munitions. They sent their F-35s into Iranian airspace and one of them was "damaged." This confirms that they're not even close to dominating Iranian airspace let alone roaming freely over it. Eyes go clear. |
LordAdam16:Mennn! While we might have rightly game Iran's ability and readiness to fight back hard, I must confess Persia has really really surprised me. It isn't just the resilience. It's the way they thought out the entire operation. We have always said, and has been proven right that, the strait is Iran's nuclear bomb option. Closing it early was insanely tactical. It did not only throw the enemy and its bases hosts off guard, the early closure has also helped maximize the effect and damage the closure was expected to create. This single tactical move put Tehran on the driving seat, leaving their enemies scrambling for leverages that aren't there, and checkmates no one is willing to support. Let's even forget about the initial series of wave strikes that has effectively, if not completely blinded the enemy across the Gulf. Don't mention how their missiles are now easily falling on their preys in Israel and beyond because much of the enemy's early warning systems has been taken out of action. Just focus only on Hormuz and the more you look at it, the more you'd come to appreciate the Persian grand strategy. ![]() The moment Persia closed the strait, it made the cost of starting this war needless, and exiting it too high for the enemy. Every escalation by the enemy accelerate the cost further, and reprisal escalations by Tehran triples the cost. This has not only bewildered the US, it has forced them to start losing some of their leverages. In their confusion to minimize the cost, Iran imposed via Hormuz, the US have unsanctioned Russian oil, and that's the first economic victory for the axis. It means Russia is no longer selling at a discount but in the current high price, thus more money for the Russian budget and for funding the SMO. But the cost remains high, and the solution by the enemy gets even crazier. The US is now planning on unsactioning Iranian oil----the same enemy they're currently fighting. Don't laugh yet. Currently, Iran has over 140 million barrels of oil sitting in floating storage/tankers anchored someahere along their coast. US sanctions over the years makes this difficult to sell. Removing sanctions, according to Bessent, would allow this oil to enter the global market and bring down the price. The oil will provide at least, two weeks of supply, and Bessent calls it a "leverage against the Iranians." How is that a leverage when in peace time you choke Iran from selling that oil but suddenly in war time you allow it to sell that oil? Besides, Persia will be selling at or above $100 per barrel and in currency of their choice, meaning more money for Tehran and less value for the USD. Another victory for the axis. ![]() Hormuz is the real KO blow. It isn't just going to determine how this war will end, it ensure that it will end on Iranian terms. The hegemon loses again. ![]() |
SonOfWords:Omo. It's like Fuji house of commotion. They're so confused and objectively deficient that they can't even think of a sane way to edit the war without looking humiliated. Every decision they have taken since the Tehran reprisals started hitting their marks have been to the advantage of their adversaries. On the flip side, I feel sorry for DT. He was duped into acting out in toto Elbridge Colby's strategy that seek to contain China in the indo Pacific, sidestep Russia in the attics, and position and maintains US supremacy in the western hemisphere. He never thought about the possible backlash these strategy holds for America itself. |
WriteerNg:You never see anything. Next time, you will think twice before choosing to dine with the devil. |
ariesbull:To buttress your point, a serving Russian lawmaker has confirmed that Bibi is dead. If the Russians are saying it, then the man is dead really because they're always in the known in real time. |
FoolishBoy419:@Foolishboi419, what we said earlier. They will by themselves remove the sanctions eventually. Eyes go clear. |
LordAdam16:This is going to be a long one for the Israel camp. The Russians are now making sure of that. ![]() The president of Tajikistan has published a video showing a large column of 110 trucks heading to Iran. The trucks will pass through Turkmenistan and Uzbekistan, both of which have also sent trucks, all in the name of "humanitarian aids." ![]() Well, we all know that much of what is inside those trucks isn't humanitarian. Putin is making sure that, this golden opportunity to make a kill off the high oil price (Russian Urea is now selling at $108) does not pass unexploited. Na better market Trump don buy so. |
FoolishBoy419:That's the iranian end goal. Those who put the sanctions will have to remove them as a precondition for the war to end or Persia will force their hands to remove them via the economic front with solid guarantees that such atrocious acts will not repeat themselves in the future. The disruption in energy has now shifted to energy destruction. Iran is matching escalation with escalation. The Israeli strike on iranian gas field reveals the desperation and strategic failure behind this war. It appears that Israel took advantage of Iran's promise to retaliate against any attack on its gas and energy industries, and would spread the attack all over the region. So, the genocidal vipers decided to attack the gas fields because an Iranian retaliation might force the Gulf countries to join the war directly, something Tel Aviv (and the US) wish to happen. But, this strategy is a very weak one. In fact, it is now clear that, the US and Israel has lost the war objectively, and they're simply acting out of d desperation. Why? 1. The Gulf states are in no position to enter the war----US security arrangements over the years that prioritize Israel's security above the rest made sure of that by under equipping those states. They lack the weapons, the logistics, and the will to wage or attrit a war against a highly advanced peer like Iran. 2. Even if they wanted to, the chances of their people turning against them is now higher than ever. This ongoing war is fast becoming a uniting force among Shia and sunni Muslims. A regional spike in the conflict will only increase the chants of death to the Big Satan (America) and death to the small Satan (Israel). 3. Iraq gets much of its gas for electricity from Iran, and they'd be hit the hardest in this ongoing tit-for-tat energy restrictions. It is delusion to think Iraq at this time would take up arms against Iran. Turkey also gets 15% of its gas for electricity from Iran, and there is no way they'd join up against Iran. Qatar has instead condemn the Israeli attack on the iranian gas field. It has also condemned the iranian reprisal attacks that include its gas field, but, that is where it ends. No one is taking up arms. 3. Moreover, Iranian response attacks on Haifa and Israeli gas stations are also in the menu, and with very little to no interceptors left to stop them, the genocidal state would also receive its share of the damage and suffering as well. Hence, the above points renders the Israeli strategy a weak, poorly thought out, and desperate attempt to project "accomplishment." The included policy of assassinations that takes out pragmatists like Larijani will only make the IRGC stronger, produce more hardliners, and by the time this war ends, everything Israel wishes Iran not to be is what they'd become. Iran will objectively emerge the winner. |
FoolishBoy419:Our NVBs were victims of western propaganda. They were duped into believing Iran is done and dusted. What they're witnessing is unbelievable. Iran has missiles that can last for the entire year. In fact, if there is anyone that doesn't want this war to end now is Iran. They're not just making huge sums of money from oil sales as the war rages on, it gives them a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to take their pound of flesh against their enemy, reassert their sovereign and economic rights and position themselves as a key player in the region and global politics devoid of any suffocating conditions and restrictions. |
WriteerNg:And make sure that from now onward, any ship from unfriendly countries that must pass through the strait should pay a passage fee. |
Truthfulone1:Western war propaganda doesn’t change, whoever a conflict is fought with: Russia ‘running out of ballistic missiles’ – Telegraph, Oct 28 2022 Iran is ‘running out of missiles’ – Telegraph, Mar 4 2026 Professed success is promoted by doing a countdown towards victory: IDF destroyed 1/3 of Iran’s missile launchers after Tel Aviv strikes – Jewish Chronicle, Jun 16 2025 More than half of Iran’s missile launchers have been destroyed – Jewish Chronicle, Jun 20 2025 The recent war follows the scheme of ever rising enemy losses: Around Half of Iran’s Ballistic Missile Launchers Destroyed in Strikes, Israel Says – WSJ, Mar 1 Israel says destroyed around 300 Iranian missile launchers – DPA, Mar 5 2026 IDF estimates over 60% of Iran’s missile launchers taken out – Israel Hayom, Mar 6 2026 Despite Saturday spike in missile sirens, IDF affirms 75% of Iranian missile launchers destroyed – Jerusalem Post, Mar 7 2026 Israel Says 80% of Iran’s Missile Launchers Destroyed, Israelis Could Soon Resume Normal Life As Operation Continues – Yeshiva World, Mar 10 2026 At some point however delusion creeps in: ![]() IDF says destroyed 70% of Iran’s missile launchers as war progresses ‘beyond expectations’ – YnetNews, Mar 15 2026 Majority of IRGC missile launchers destroyed, Israel to return to routine soon, official say – Jerusalem Post, Mar 10 2026 US ‘cannot locate Iran’s missile launchers’ – Telegraph, Mar 11 2026 Iran’s Missile Launcher Arsenal Holds Steady Despite Strikes – Bloomberg, Mar 12 2026 People start to ask questions: US says it has destroyed Iran missile capacity: How is Iran still shooting? – AlJazeerah, Mar 16, 2026 After Trump’s original plans did not survive contact with the enemy, the media are preparing the public for an escalation towards a ground war: Entering War’s Third Week, Trump Faces Stark Choices (archived) – NY Times As the conflict with Iran expands and intensifies, President Trump’s options — to fight on, or to move toward declaring victory and pulling back — both carry deeply problematic consequences. Oil Industry Warns Trump Administration Fuel Crunch Will Likely Worsen (archived) – WSJ The Iran war may be about to escalate – Gulf states could join the conflict (archived) – Economist Trump is trapped by the logic of war Boots on the ground might become inevitable – Unherd Trump demands ‘about 7′ countries join coalition to police Iran’s Strait of Hormuz – Politico Donald Trump warns Nato faces ‘very bad future’ if allies fail to help US in Iran (archived) – FT White House Tries to Build Coalition on Iran to Address Energy Crisis (archived) – W Copied from MOA. As you can see from the above, western propaganda is atypical. They are now at the stage of grief and stark reality that explains their flaws, how badly they miscalculated Iran, and the defeat staring them on the face. Now, they have one of two options: Throw in the towel or escalate further to WW3 (use nuke on Iran). |
