PM Starmer is spineless. PM Starmer pandering to Muslim vote, blocked AMERICA from using all it's military bases to attack Iran. Pretended it was from the advice of Attorney General Lord Hermer who warned that supporting unilateral offensive action could breach international law and make the UK a "co-belligerent. Iran attacked the RAF base in Cyprus , so he retracted partly. Iran then closed the Str if Hormuz. Lloyd's the largest marine insurer hiked their rates, then pulled out. Trump asked the US IDFC to undertake the risks and pledged support via escorts through the straits using Navy Warships . With that Lloyd's of London riskee using over 500 oil tankers who transit the straits. Common sense, once business went away it would nevér come back. Starmer then allowed the use of UK and offshore bases for launching those " unilateral offensive actions that may breach international law". Sheepishly he said UK will not engage in any offensive actions. |
BreakingNews21:I take it that your last sentence is from an informed point of view, correct me if I'm wrong. |
cococandy:I get headaches reading such drivel. So now Trump is the one leaking to Putin ,then to Iran where the military assets are in Middle East , so that Iran can attack them. SMH . No words. Trump is a puppet of Putin? 6 |
Obama broke the law in sending Iran $1.7B . He sent the money in cash , the Iranians posted photos of the cash on pallets. To hide the sources the currency was in Euros , dollars etc. US courts had entered judgement against Iran wrt to compensation of American victims of Iran terrorist plots and https://www.tabletmag.com/sections/news/articles/the-obama-administrations-1-7-billion-iranian-deception Article demands that the methods used to arrive at the amount should be declassified like the Epstein files. |

Mille:I was thinking they would say they will stop attacking Muslim nations. Osama bin laden was helped by CIA while in Afghanistan. When he saw American troops on Saudi soil they became his enemies. |
23jerryking:It's a case of poor planning. 1. Iran was hoping to mobilize these oil rich nations to prevail upon America to stop the attacks.. Trump has a personal vendetta to grind against them , they have been plotting to assassinate him in revenge of killing Solemani and again of bombing them in 2025.They have been loudly saying so 2. Weak strategy. Iran thought by having thousands of missiles and drones some of which will creep through air defences would put them in a position where fighting them is costly. They know American and Israel general population would protest against the war if body bags start piling up 3. Naval Warfare . They thought that a fleet of fast attack boats would overwhelm US warships and carriers , if they downed one the Americans would protest. They were hit from far by tomahawks,most of their naval vessels have been sunk. 40 plus so far. 4. The left sides with Islamists against the conservatives. Far left paid protesters are joining Muslims in protests. 5. Poor PR. By showmanship of their strengths they thought Israel and America would think twice before attacking them. They have been releasing videos if their missiles, boats , drones etc in an attempt to intimidate any adversary. |
raumdeuter:The Trump doctrine is to remove the influence of Russia and China from the western hemisphere. China loaned Venezuela money , in return the were getting oil at a huge discount. Right now they are getting the oil from Venezuela, mostly refined in America at market rates. (If I was Trump I'd pocket the difference in my personal accounts, so thank the Lord I'm not Trump 🙂🙂). |

seunny4lif:That will make Russia support Iran covertly. But how? Will they fly on supplies or ship them? |
[quote author=lanre316 post=138688484]This is good news if true. Any links to support these claims? [/quote I get from Facebook and X . .I have established independently from centcom and Dept of War on the numbers |

📊 THE NUMBERS ARE IN: Iran’s Retaliatory Power is Collapsing 📉🚀 As Operation Epic Fury enters its eighth day, the data tells a clear story: the Iranian regime is running out of options—and ammunition. Since the coalition began dismantling the IRGC’s launch infrastructure on February 28, the "torrent" of missiles and drones has slowed to a trickle. The 8-Day Decline 📉💥 The stats released by CENTCOM and the IDF show a massive drop in the regime's ability to project force across the Middle East. 🚀 Ballistic Missile Launches: • Day 1: 350 (The Opening Salvo) • Day 2: 175 • Day 3: 120 • Day 4: 50 • Day 5: 40 • Day 6: 32 • Day 7: 28 • Day 8: 15 (A 95% decrease from Day 1) 🛸 Drone Swarm Deployments: • Day 1: 294 • Day 2: 541 (The "Desperation Wave" ![]() • Day 3: 200 • Day 4: 85 • Day 5: 45 • Day 6: 38 • Day 7: 30 • Day 8: 12 (A 96% decrease from the peak) Why the Sudden Drop? 🛡️🎯 This isn't just a lack of will; it’s a lack of hardware. U.S. and Israeli officials have confirmed that the mission has successfully transitioned through its primary phases: 👉 Phase 1: Decapitation. The strike that eliminated Ali Khamenei on Day 1 paralyzed the central command. 👉 Phase 2: Air Superiority. Over 80% of Iran’s air defense systems have been destroyed, allowing B-2 bombers and fighter jets to hunt mobile launchers with impunity. 👉 Phase 3: Launcher Liquidation. The IDF reports that over 300 ballistic missile launchers (out of an estimated 450) have been rendered inoperable. "The Industrial Base is Next" 🦅🦁⚓ CENTCOM Commander Admiral Brad Cooper stated late Thursday that the coalition is now moving to "raze or level Iran's ballistic missile industrial base." The goal isn't just to stop the current fire; it's to ensure the regime can never rebuild its arsenal. • 2,000+ Targets Hit: From Tehran to the Sistan and Baluchistan Province, the coalition is systematic. • No More Safe Zones: With "localized air superiority" established, the U.S. is now striking progressively deeper into the Iranian interior. • Unconditional Surrender: President Trump has made it clear: no deals until the regime's military threat is totally neutralized. + A squadron of B-1BS landed in UK. + USS Ford Carrier Group entered the Red Sea to support the Iran operation l. |
happney65:Trump is creating vacancies in Iran instead?

ijebosb:You are always screaming racism because you think the white man liked you. How many times have you been a victim? |
WriteerNg:Azerbaijan have always wanted to unite the Azeris in Iran with their homeland They will gladly annex a part of Iran. The Kurds also would live to unite the Kurds in Iran with Kurdistan Iran if the regime survives might be carved up. The religious zealots can have their own province. |
Y WriterrNg:Iran is no different from the Somali pirates.

UAE to freeze Iranian assets. Russia caught giving Iran targeting data, anyway America has been helping Ukrainian army. According to Washington Post. Iran have not confirmed their new Supreme leader, doing so puts him on an immediate target list. Rubio to be sent to Cuba, they want to negotiate. If all goes well that will involve them cutting off ties to Russia and China. Reza Pahlavi has accepted to be Irans transitional leader. Iranians all over the world are chanting his name , he promised to be just a figurehead, the voters will elect their leaders. Iran bunkers have been heavily bombed,entrances sealed by IDF abd USAF burying their hypersonics, ballistics and drones underground while the bunker buster bombs finish them off. The deafening sound from secondary explosions is being heard at the International Space Station🙂🙂🙂 Writerrng, USAF has been using stealthy B2 and B-1Bs. The B-52 is yet to make an impact. Cheaper dumb bombs to wipe out barracks. |
WriteerNg:Is this the same farm.. A mobile launcher hidden in the hay shed can be seen clearly.. You have too much propaganda.
|
WriterrNg:Have they run out. Hold your horses, the big boys ( bombers are about to enter the scene .. |
WriterrNg:Tell me.. awhat percentage of missiles and drones are being intercepted. A few will definitely slip through and cause damage. |
WriterrNg:There is no difference between Iran regime and kidnappers. No different from Hamas holding hostages and demanding concessions in return for hostages. Iran is holding the world hostage , so that their demands can be met. They are like those Somali pirates who were hijacking ships for ransom,because they know sane govts priorities include safety of their citizens. Noone will negotiate with them. They surrender and get safe exit The Police Commander who led suppressions of the riots is hiding in a hospital basement. |
Mikasaobi:Iran has been showing off their mosquito attack fast boats . Thousands of them would swarm warships and a few would be able to shoot some anti ship missiles m Their submarines would also lurk underneath and torpedo American warship. They had hidden anti ship missiles on the mountainous regions which would be fired at US warships and aircraft carriers. The didn't know what hit them. Tomahawks fired from hundreds of miles away hit the docked warships . F-35 and other fighter jets dropped JDAMs on them . Their navy was literally wiped out before it could fire . Over 34 vessels so far. I give it to Iranians when it comes to innovation. They can manufacture pretty much anything. |
[quote author=WriteerNg post=138682581]Botragelad Tonididdy Basilico..... is this Gaza or where? should surrender immediately. Read this.

Obedience40:Trump said that once a launch is detected , within 4 minutes the launch platform are being taken out Highly likely if there was a fighter jet within the vicinity, I think the statement is meant to scare the crew launching the missiles. The big bombers are yet to do their runs yet, in Iraq there were fully loaded B-52S and B1-B bomber jets flying around waiting for to be sent a target. The latter were preferred owing to their supersonic speeds and they carry more bombs |

The Trump files. Long read. https://x.com/kevinnbass/status/2029768957226291227 These documents show a man who was part of an early social world he did not yet completely understand, who called a predator "terrific" before anyone knew what that predator was, who sent a crude birthday card before there was any reason not to, whose property was used as a hunting ground without his knowledge or permission -- and who, when the investigation came, banned the predator from his club, picked up the phone for the victim's attorney, and was cleared by every investigative body that looked. 40 documents. Every quote verbatim. Every citation verifiable. 57Kb doc here.. https://drive.google.com/file/u/0/d/1HhFLNr0AUlKcdDZS-OOKlKJaLMms8lGj/view?usp=sharing&pli=1 Bayelsaowei obrigardo feedthenation.
