Iran's only leverage is gone for now. Oil will flow , I expect an oversupply the next two weeks to stabilize prices and probably a one months cushion. Neighbors will breathe easily knowing there are no attacks,flights will resume to the middle east in earnest.
IDF and America have satellites and drones high up observing what Iranians will be doing. Iran will most likely reinforce it's military personnel and assets to more hardened areas. The two week period should be for intense intelligence gathering , those primitives will definitely make blunders. |

DeepSight: + It's hard history. Research.
But the fact that you have that feeling tells about about your mindset.
That probably in your subconscious you associate invention, innovation and intellect with Caucasian only.
Its likely If you check my edit, Egyptian Copts were light years ahead of the desert Berbers, they had universities. |

Why do I have a feeling all these glorious inventions by Muslims are folk tales? I know that when Egypt fell to the marauding muslims they destroyed every book at University of Cairo. The caliphs burnt every book they could get in Persia if I'm right They have been accused of being retrogressive as far as early knowledge is concerned. Adding to my bucket list DeepSight: + Your double standards stand out. You are ready to attribute the printing press somehow to your religion, but wish to exclude the many developments in the Islamic world of antiquity from Islam.
My position is consistent - its not the religions, its simply the people evolving. When we speak of the golden age of Islam, we are simply referring to a period when Islamic empires and people flourished with great development that impacted the world.
We are not so thoughtless as to attribute the development specifically to something in Islam, the way you are eager to attribute all Western Science to Judeo-Christianity.
It is a fact of history that Islam had a golden age in the way I have described above. Anyone denying it is either unschooled or or simply in denial from religious extremism or bigotry.
I extract -
--------------
The Islamic Golden Age (roughly 8th to 14th century) was a powerhouse of intellectual activity. While Europe was in the Early Middle Ages, scholars in cities like Baghdad, Córdoba, and Cairo were synthesizing Greek, Indian, and Persian knowledge while making massive original breakthroughs. Here are the major subjects and innovations they contributed to the modern world:
1. Mathematics: The Language of Science: Perhaps the most visible legacy is in our numbers. Islamic mathematicians didn't just preserve math; they revolutionized how we calculate. Algebra: Muhammad ibn Musa al-Khwarizmi wrote The Compendious Book on Calculation by Completion and Balancing. The word "Algebra" comes from his term al-jabr. He treated algebra as a distinct discipline for the first time.
Arabic Numerals & Zero: While the symbols originated in India, Islamic scholars refined the decimal system and the concept of zero (0), then introduced them to the West.
Algorithms: The word "algorithm" is actually a Latinized corruption of al-Khwarizmi’s name.
Trigonometry: Scholars like al-Battani isolated functions like sine, cosine, and tangent, which were essential for both astronomy and navigation.
2. Medicine: Systematic Healing - The Islamic world moved medicine from folklore to a rigorous, empirical science. The Canon of Medicine: Written by Ibn Sina (Avicenna), this remained the standard medical textbook in Europe and the Middle East for over 600 years. Hospitals (Bimaristans): They created the first modern hospitals with separate wards for different diseases, pharmacies, and even "internships" for medical students.
Surgery: Al-Zahrawi (Albucasis) is often called the "father of surgery." He invented over 200 surgical instruments—including the scalpel, bone saw, and forceps—many of which have designs that remain recognizable today.
Circulation: Ibn al-Nafis was the first to correctly describe pulmonary circulation (how blood moves through the heart and lungs).
3. Physics and Optics - Before this era, people believed the eyes emitted rays to "see" objects. Islamic scientists corrected this. Ibn al-Haytham (Alhazen): Often called the first true scientist, he pioneered the scientific method, emphasizing repeatable experiments.
The Camera Obscura: Al-Haytham explained how light travels in straight lines and enters the eye, using the "dark room" (camera obscura) principle to prove it. This is the fundamental ancestor of the modern camera.
4. Chemistry (Alchemy): The word "Chemistry" comes from al-kimiya. Islamic scholars transitioned alchemy from a mystical pursuit of turning lead into gold into a practical science. Jabir ibn Hayyan (Geber): He introduced systematic laboratory methods and identified many common acids (like sulfuric and nitric acid). Distillation: He perfected the process of distillation, which led to the creation of perfumes, medicines, and refined oils.
5. Engineering and Navigation - Practicality was at the heart of many innovations, especially regarding water and travel. Crankshafts and Water Pumps: Al-Jazari, a brilliant engineer, designed intricate clocks, hand-washing automata, and the crankshaft—one of the most important mechanical inventions in human history.
6. Higher Education Universities: The University of al-Qarawiyyin in Fez, Morocco (founded by Fatima al-Fihri in 859 AD), is recognized by UNESCO and Guinness World Records as the oldest continuously operating, degree-granting university in the world. -- - - - - - -

benalvino3: Bayelsaowei notice how you are quiet that Iran sent women and children to risk their lives at a potential military target. You know why? Because they know the US and Israel try their best to to kill people. Would they try this with Hamas or ISIS? The Iranians are firing ballistic missiles at civilians across the middle east.
Hoping to get killed then blame Trump and Netanyahu, demanding war crimes charges against the duo. Savagery. |

benalvino3: I am sure they utter that word because of wokism Liberals desire Muslim vote. So they believe what those lying Muslims tell them while at the same time seeking that block of votes. Think it was your video where they seek to fragment the society into individual grievance groups that will perpetually vote for them, which is what the stealthy jihadists in the west want,they are weak and gaining ground through demographics presently. When they become sizeable like in UK they will start demanding Sharia law. |

benalvino3: Never trust any politician who utters this words "Islam is the religion of peace" Not necessarily so. A western leader thinks the word "Islam" means peace. Far from that. Islam word in Arabic means surrender submission. The word for peace in Arabic is salaam. That's why their greetings are " salaam alaikum ' which means 'peace be upon you' . Whenever Muslims refer to another they always add (pbuh) but in the special case of Muhammad they add 'SAWS' ( Sallallahu Alayhi Wa Salaam) literally may be the peace be upon him. See the word sallam for peace. So Islam word doesn't.mean peace. It means surrender to Allah. After you surrender ie convert to Islam then that's when peace will come. Islam being an expansionist ideology whose underlying ambition is global conquest of everyone and conversion to Islam explains that peace will come when everyone is a Muslim. When foolish westerners declare Islam is a religion of peace they are being sincere or insincere.Simcere if that's what the Muslims have told them what Islam means and insincere if they are just lying when they know it Granted Islam divides the world into two. Dar el harb and dar el salaam. Translated "house of peace" and "house of war" respectively. The house of war must be fought until they convert to Islam. That explains conquest starting from 624 AD todate where muslims gain the favour if Allah to make sure that all earth is for Allah,everyone must be a Muslim. How to achieve this depends on the strength of jihad ( holy war) which can be violent ISIS type or stealth,where when Muslims are weak they reproduce or do whatever it takes to gather strength to convert everyone. It's a 1400 year old command ,for eternity. When everyone is a Muslim that's when there will be peace. Examples of nations where everyone is a Muslim and there is peace abound. Top three are Somali Afghanistan and Yemen. I'll explain but not now in a later post why there's peace in those 100% Muslim nations . Addendum.. When the Muslim nations are ruled by a dictator be it a monarchy or Saddam/ Assad the society is sort of peaceful and develops. |

The strait of Hormuz has Iran on the upper side . UAE and Oman are on the lower side. Oman Coastal Route: On April 2, three Omani-controlled ships (two very large crude carriers and one LNG carrier) successfully transited using a newly recognized southern corridor. This route hugs the Omani coastline to bypass the IRGC-controlled northern channelsWhy should the Iran regime control the strait . Iran is effectively blocking other sovereign nation territory. dermmy: If Iranian targets are "free for all" they should go and open the strait of Hormuz then. They should blow up all the "free for all" targets from which Iran is using to attack ships in the strait.
Iranian targets are "free for all" yet the lπnatic would threaten NATO today, beg them tomorrow to come and bail him out of the mess. |

The niece of Qaseem Sulemani. While his IRGC and Basiji militias were jailing , killing and raping women in jail for being immodest , his niece was doing the exact opposite in America.

bayelsaowei: America isn’t ready for any female president.. America despite all its progressive achievements remains a misogynistic country.
That’s why it chose to settle for a known immoral/pdf/grifting/felon individual over a woman.
America isn’t ready for a female president. Democrats should never field a female candidate for now. There is nothing about being misogynist. The democrats fielded weak pathetic candidates . They forced voters to chose a black man to show they were not racist. Next they put up women hoping voters would not be seen as misogynist. |

Elizabeth Warren
@SenWarren · Follow Jeff Bezos has $222 billion.
If he paid my wealth tax this year, we could fund insulin in America for everyone who needs it plus free school lunch for every kid in Texas—and have plenty of money left over.
And Bezos would still have $215 billion dollars to spare. 12:30 AM · Apr 6, 2026
I find this reply thought provoking.
Cernovich @Cernovich · Follow These posts don’t land because of all of the fraud. If Democrats really wanted to fund insulin, or anything really, they’d demand DOGE audits of all federal programs.
Socialists are all about taking wealth from the rich and distributing it to the poor,later day socialists use that to buy votes. |

Uprightness100: Memri:
Kuwaiti Journalist Ahmed Jarallah:
-America Is Not Our Enemy, Iran Is -Iran Is Ruled by a “Sick Satan,” and the World Will Finish Him Off -The U.S. Entered the Conflict Because Iran Bragged It Would Destroy America and Israel
The war cannot be win without recognizing the religious component. Iran soldiers who die go to jannat directly. There is only one sure way of making to that Islamic heaven filled with houris (big breasted women who are virgins perpetually) And that is dying when waging battle Prophet would regale his fighters with promises of rewards if they died in battle . IDF I believe knows that, some in America might also know that. If they look at Iran as a lesser armed military, they won't win. It's critical that Israel and America should understand the impact of their religion in this war. That involves crushing their will to resist completely. When they were looking for the second airman, mosques were exhorting the locals to capture the American. Locals armed with rifles heeded that and started searching. |

I can listen to Candace without squirming or making my face look like shit. I can listen to Tucker Carlson, shake my head and say damn he's right.
They are still right wing leaning. They were once rabid bigots. But they've shown incredible moral courage. They have taken a line in the sand against the evil pedophilic rapist killer Zionists.
I'm changing once again, I don't think Kamala Harris has any hope. Until she ties back her hair, ditch the suit and make it her life's work to rid the US intelligence and political circles of the Zionist cocks, I'll hold her high once again.
The only hope is see now is AOC.
I thought Kamala was the female president the Simpsons showed us, but now I'm convinced it's AOC. Add Alex Jones , he is calling for the 25th amendment on Trump . That is, if you are in a position to understand anything, you should be sanitarium / lunatic asylum. |

Obrigardo: basilico, did you know the CIA was funding ISIS and Al-qaeda? You never read the epstein files you were actually pushing out, did you?
What is wrong with you people? CIA funded Taliban to beat back Russian invasion of Afghanistan. Osama bin laden joined Taliban and received weapons from the CIA. When the Gulf war started, he became furious about infidels in Saudi Arabia soil, so he started Al Qaeda. CIA funded ISIS. To be more precise Obama stated the Arab Uprising. He lied about funding jihadists claiming the free Syria army was moderate while in real sense it was ISIS just not in name. In summary Obama funded ISIS. |
