⚔Trump on Iran:

I’ll be meeting the families of the heroes who are coming home from Iran—coming home in a different way than they thought they would.


Why meet with the families and not the heroes themselves?

⚔Trump on cartels:

Many of the cartels have developed sophisticated military operations — highly sophisticated in some cases.

They say they’re more powerful than the military in the country. We can’t have that.

They’re cancer.

Appleyard:
The same China that is one of thw reasons you're attacking Iran in a bid to curtail and stifle it's economic and military acceleration ---you want to start buying oil from you.

Clown.
The audacity and arrogance atimes shocks me sometimes. I wonder how China and India, to an extent, see it. On one hand, you are actively scuttling a major supplier of oil to China and have even stopped another one from supplying the same China. Now, all of a sudden, you want the same China to stop buying Russian crude and buy yours.

Honestly, if not for the economic rise of China, many naive people, including myself, would not have noticed the ugly hypocrisy of the US-led West. It is nauseating to see.

⚔Trump to South American leaders:

Some of you are in danger, hard to believe.

We’ll use missiles if you want us to use a missile. Pew!

They’re extremely accurate — right into the living room. That’s the end of that cartel person.

Now we know why Iran bombarded Bahrain more than the others.

Bahrain is being used as a launch pad to target Iran.

⚔Iraqi Kurds are trying to stay neutral in the Iran war, resisting pressure from both Iran and Iranian Kurdish militants who want to launch attacks from Iraqi territory.

Kurdish officials fear they cannot defend against Iranian drones:

ā€œ200 Shahed drones could cause a lot of damage here. We have no air defense systems.ā€

Iraqi Kurds say U.S. goals are unclear, especially on regime change:

ā€œIs it full regime change, or just a change in personnel?ā€

Kurdish leaders believe regime change without U.S. troops is unlikely:

ā€œThere cannot be regime change without boots on the ground.ā€

Kurdish forces have blocked Iranian Kurdish militias from launching attacks into Iran so far.

Kurdish leaders also fear being abandoned by the U.S. if the war ends.

"We have trust issues from the past and we don't want to get involved. Who is going to defend us if the Iranian regime ends up surviving this?", the source said.

Alamkiir:
This is exactly what they did in Serbia, they can’t hit military targets so they lash out at civilians.

Also every province in Iran has underground cities for military infrastructure. The only way the USA can hit them is using dropping heavy bombs from bombers.

It’s obvious now after a week they can’t send the bombers in until they suppress the enemy air defence( SEAD). SEAD is achieved by destroying radar and air defence systems. They destroyed in the 12 days war with sabotage groups, but now they’re having difficulty doing it with subsonic missiles from jets and ships.

Russia helped Iran with their over the horizon radar, this has a large footprint but they’ve not been able to destroy it. Unfortunately in wartime air defence systems are prioritised for military and essential infrastructure, so civilians are more vulnerable. We also have leaks too.

I remember the delusional 🤔 saying before the war Iran should switch off their radar or it’ll be destroyed . The dude is so radioactive I get sick when I think of quoting him.

Russia and Iran use hypersonic missiles to destroy radar and air defence systems, this is modern warfare. Russia sends in a small drone which is difficult to detect for reconnaissance. When they detect an air defence, hypersonic missiles will destroy immediately. The USA doesn’t have any so they send big drones and shoot subsonic missiles which Iranian defence systems can handle.

Centcom is saying they destroyed thousands of targets. Tell us the military targets and explain how the civilian targets are associated with the military. Russian military briefing in SMO gives us these details.

⚔IRGC Navy’s drone unit says it launched a large-scale drone attack at dawn on Al Dhafra Air Base in UAE.

According to IRGC sources, the strike targeted key U.S. facilities at the base, including the air warfare center, satellite communications systems, early-warning radars, and fire-control radars.

iran just hit the uae again a few minutes ago
so nothing has changed




some are saying pezeshkian statement was about azerbaijan and turkey
and my response is he should have picked up the phone and called aliyev personally to reiterate the pledge not to attack anyone who doesn't assist the hegemony
or forget aliyev and speak directly to erdogan
erdogan has helped immensely with the kurdish threat so he should be calling him

there is no excuse for that error

thankfully, iran has demonstrated their capacity for doublespeak in this war
like when the iranian un mission said and i quote
the strait of hormuz is not closed. it is just not open right now.
also everyone knows pezeshkian is a gaffe machine

⚔Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian:

They will take their dream to the grave if they think we will surrender unconditionally.
Re: Russia-Ukraine War: World News, Weapons & Battlefield Discussions - Live by Ghostagain: 4:51pm On Mar 07
For all we know, the guy might be a CIA or mossad agent. That would explain why he wasn't targeted by Israel or the USA.

⚔The IRGC announced that it targeted the U.S.-owned, Marshall Islands–flagged chemical/oil tanker LOUIS P (IMO 9749336) with a kamikaze drone while the vessel was anchored at the Saudi port of Jubail in the Persian Gulf.

The ship departed Shuwaikh, Kuwait, on February 24, 2026, and arrived at Al Jubail, Saudi Arabia, on February 28, 2026.

The vessel is commercially managed by the U.S.-based company Alterna Capital Partners LLC and owned by Sterling Ocean Chemical Tks II.

do you know khamenei refused to accept his resignation letter last year

pezeshkian immunity is that the hardliners do not want to piss off the reformists
for instance, the grandson of khomeini (the first supreme leader) is a reformist

everyone is managing him

Iran really do learn from the 12-day war, thanks to that experience they were able cub internal sabotage, they also did well on hiding their lunchers and air defence equipment
