LordAdam16: i think the major issue is that iran is deeply infiltrated so high-level elements of all power bases have to be in central tehran
before mid-level moles wreck the government
i thought admiral tsangiri was even in one of these facilities but he was in a residential building in bandar abbas obviously trying to coordinate all the requests for passage, the politics, and stuff
it is the espionage problem that makes them take all of these unnecessary risks you have to be on ground yourself running and supervising things because you can't even trust reports when you go underground
-Lord
That's unfortunate. Iran has been doing decently but you can't keep morale up when important generals are dying. The good news is that they're like ancient Japanese warlords. Death is next to nothing to them unlike the pedos attacking them
basilico: I've been grieving for over 10 years for Iranian's who have been subjected to Sharia law by an unelected supreme leader. Can you imagine , you walk your dog , they shoot it charge you for the bullet Can you imagine , Basiji militias patrol the streets arresting women who are not wearing a headbang.
I grieve for those Iranians, who happen to be the majority in the country but have been ruthlessly murdered by Khomeini and Khamenei. If you have a ❤️ heart, say a prayer for them too.
I can't believe this is what I have been missing. I will never block this handle again
BIG: In a leaked cabinet recording, Israeli Chief of Staff Eyal Zamir warned that the IDF is nearing a breaking point after prolonged conflict.
“I am raising ten red flags,” Zamir told ministers, stressing the urgent need for new laws on conscription, reserves, and extended service.
“The reserves will not be able to hold out under these dramatic circumstances,” he added, warning that “it won’t be long before the IDF is no longer fit for even routine security missions.”
basilico: *Cross posted* I said I'm probably more well informed than many of Iranian supporters. Dr Mordecai Khadar, an Israel professor and military intelligence expert .
He explains Iran plan was to use over 20 groups surrounding Israel to overwhelm it's defences by 2023.Funded ,trained and directed the terrorist groups Hamas, Islamic jihad Hezbollah, Houthis, Iraqi militias etc to overwhelm Israel iron dome and arrow defences in one day . The groups would also invade the north and kill thousands while taking hostages . Then Iran would follow up with ballistic missiles to blow up their grid, water supply , fuel storage, airports. Iran had figured out Israel would run out of defences in 2 days. But firstly, Iran needed the atomic bomb as a deterrent to Israel or America. Iran had instructed their terrorists to wait for the order to launch the final coordinated attacks and invasion of Israel.
Unfortunately Israel and Arab nations signing on to Abraham Accords didn't go well with Sinwar. He feared if the Saudi latched on to the accords,followed by the other Sunni nations, noone would ever remember the poor,water deprived obese starving struggling Palestinians in the worlds largest open air prison. So he launched Oct 7 without explicit blessings , hoping the other militia and Iran would immediately join to annihilate Israel.
He didn't wait for the order from Iran. In other words Hamas got greedy and jumped the gun. He called the operation Al Aqsa flood. Al Aqsa is Jerusalem, Jihadist hordes would flood the Jewish capital and finish off what their Arab brothers had failed to do since 1948.
Iran's plan would have made them the heroes of all the Muslim nations. obedience4, foolishboy419
This explains why I can never support the suicidal genocidal Ayatollahs.
If it was Obama who is attacking and destroying Iran today his worshippers would be full of praise. The dictionaries would have to invent new superlatives for him. Personally I would also support him fully with no reservations. The real Obama religion cult worshippers like to accuse their opposites of being what they really are . Fullstop.
BREAKING: US President Donald Trump says Iran gave him a “very big present” related to oil and gas, worth “a tremendous amount of money,” but offered no details and said the move has given him new faith in Tehran’s leaders.
Israeli soldiers torture a one-year-old child in Gaza, including burning his leg with a cigarette and inserting a nail into his leg, according to a report, to pressure his father to make confessions
SonOfWords: Iran is losing but Trump is the one looking for an off-ramp and fiddling with the idea of a ceasefire to the point the Iranian foreign affairs minister has already been approached with a proposal, albeit an egocentric one ?
Iran is losing but Israel is already wailing to the UN to intervene, claiming persia is committing war crimes?
See peak fuuuling na!
Allow him to continue running his mouth. It is entertaining to read
SonOfWords: Israel themselves just reported that about 4,292 persons have been injured since this war began.
That they're now releasing that figure means either the casualties have become too heavy for media censorship to contain or the genocidal warts are setting the ground for their next sinister moves.
But the sheer scale of destruction in Arad from last night's attack now compels me to ask, what kind of missile exactly did the persians drop in Israel last night ??
Same thing I have been asking myself since yesterday. An interceptor exoloded near it but it had no effect whatsoever.
a time to be alive. The most powerful military in the Middle East and the world's peerless superpowerpower need other countries to help take down a 100% defeated foe. Trump must be cursing Netanyahu every day and night for leading him into this mess.
An American nurse based in Germany tells AF Post that the casualties (wounded and deceased) coming into Germany from the Middle East are "far higher" than what is being reported.
While we cannot confirm death rates, it has been reported that there are hundreds of wounded, with potentially hundreds more slipping under the radar as part of the newscycle, not necessarily because the US is "hiding" the numbers.
the missile went directly for it and erased the building from the skyline
military helos are on the dimona tarmac evacuating the wounded
-Lord
The Iranians weren't bluffing when they said they had not started using their best missiles. The mf punched through an interceptor and still managed to cause mass casualties.
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.
- No missile program (5 years) - Zero uranium enrichment - Nuclear sites dismantled - Outside monitoring of centrifuges - Missile capped at 1000 - No proxy funding
think that's because of the 1936 montreaux convention though the great powers at the time signed the agreement acknowledging turkey's right to manage the dardanelles and bosphorus also helps i think that turkey controls both sides of the straits
also have to add that the littoral states of the strait of malacca did establish a Cooperative Mechanism fund to accept voluntary contributions for safety and environmental projects at the strait
iran has been really, unusually fair to the planet keeping it open while suffering decades of sanctions they're saints trying to abide by international law when their assailants don't
-Lord
Exactly. Iran and Russia— the so called evil dictatorships operate by the book so much that they are held to a higher moral standard than USA and Israel. I have seen this even among neutral analysts. You hear nothing about the daily raids in the West Bank or the starvation of Cuba but let one journalist die in Moscow and Russia would be slandered for the next 2 years.
Appleyard: 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.
LordAdam16: it'd be like south africa charging a toll to pass through the southern ocean or malaysia/indonesia charging a toll to pass through the straits of malacca
it is unprecedented to do so in peacetime
legally speaking, iran has not closed off the strait of hormuz it has only instituted a monitoring regime to preserve security as part of self-defense during a war
that will be the justification used to mine the strait if it comes to that we are under attack and we mined it to prevent naval assets from using it just so happens that civilian vessels are also affected
you kinda have the same sh*t in the bosphorus straits turkey can close it off when it comes under attack but doesn't charge a toll to use in peacetime
-Lord
Fair point, though I think Turkey still charges ships for passage.
23jerryking: Sorry bro if I may ask, is Central Iran located outside Iran? Cause I recall your comments "no Israel or American plane can operate in Iranian airspace"
What they're saying is that the jet was struck from central Iran. A long-range SAM can shoot a jet from many hundred kilometers away.
I also never said they cannot operate in Iranian airspace. I said they were lying about having air superiority over Iran. As at the last time I made that comment, their jets had still not breached Iranian airspace.
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.
The beautiful part is that Iran said it has no oil to sell to other international players.
What I'm trying to understand is why Iran waited for this war to happen before closing the strait. Other countries charge for such passages but they chose to allow ships to be sailing at zero cost. They should have closed the strait when they decided to reinstate those sanctions.
