obinna58:This is EVERYTHING I've been saying. An Iran with NUKES changes NOTHING for Global Security. But it changes EVERYTHING for Iran's security. Iran will NEVER attack any country, including the GENOCIDAL ILLsrael, with said NUKES. However, it'll make it nearly IMPOSSIBLE for America to BULLY them. And the BELLIGRENCE of ILLsrael will be somewhat CURTAILED. Instead, people who knew NOTHING about Iran prior to the war insist that Iran would use the NUKES to vapourize ILLsrael and their neighbours When you ask for evidence? They'd point to attacks on Kuwait, UAE, Oman, etc. Attacks that did NOT happen until Iran was ILLEGALLY attacked. Attacks that are RESTRICTED to American BASES and American-ALLIED assets in the region. Another thing they'd point to is Iran's "violation" of International Laws by closing the Strait. This is a Strait that was OPEN to everyone prior to the PDFiles attacks on Iran. Iran has NEVER closed the Strait despite nearly 50 years of COMPREHENSIVE SANCTIONS. ISLAMOPHOBIC BOOOOOFFOONS will tell you that Iran is a TERRORIST Nation that should be BOMBED to ashes in the same breath that they used to tell you the war was launched to FREE Iranians. They are IRREDEEMABLY STEWPID. Putin has been fighting wars and ANNEXING lands for decades. He's been at LOGGERHEADS with both Europe and America for nearly as long. Yet he has NEVER launched a single Nuclear Weapon. Despite the fact that Western Media use him as a BENCHMARK for evil. Kim Jong Un too has NEVER launched a NUKE to attack anybody. Neither has Pakistan (a country that is 95% Muslim). As a matter of fact, neither has the BLOODTHIRSTY ILLsrael used a NUKE. And this is a country that is dishing out GENOCIDES like plates of rice at an owambe. Yet they want people to believe that the moment Iran gets their hands on NUKES, they'd start bombing everywhere. And MOWRUNS believe them. 17 Likes 4 Shares |

Procashtips:This may be true BUT people are getting tired of their approach. In fact, I read somewhere that some group of Chinese people believe that Xi is TOO WEAK in his approach to the West. Someone said China is NOWHERE near Russia, and this US, in terms of Military Power. That may be true. But as it stands now, there is NO war in which the US will prevail over China. Economic or Military warfare. The US can NO LONGER defeat China. And that is causing them to PANIC. What is left now is doing EVERYTHING to prevent China from being CAPABLE of DEFEATING them in terms of Military or Economic warfare. And that's going to be TOUGH. That is why the PDFile is spoiling for a fight with China right now BEFORE China's inevitable rise to UNCHALLENGEABLE DOMINANCE. A war right now would see US and NATO countries band together in a fight against China. Some Asian countries (maybe Japan and South Korea) may even fight alongside them. It's their ONLY chance to secure a victory. This is the first time in Modern Times that the West has to CONTEND with a True SUPERPOWER concentrated in the hands of a NON-WHITE country and now they are SCARED shitless. Because they KNOW how their own White superpowers have treated EVERYBODY else. They are AFRAID of getting a DOSE of their own medicine. They could STOMACH being dominated by Putin since he's a white man. But a DOMINANT China is alarming. Many people are saying China just needs their own iteration of the current PDFile in the White House for everywhere to BURN with Chinese fire.  11 Likes 3 Shares |

Namaster:You type a lot. Sadly, they contain absolutely zero sense, or let me say you have a diminutive understanding of global politics and the role that religion plays in the middle east. Iran will NOT directly attack those countries you are mentioning, everyone knows that. Hamas, Hezbollah and co are proxies of Iran. The preamble of Hamas constitution contains a provision to wipe out the state of Israel. Read that again. Iran passes on the nuclear weapon to Hamas and your guess is as good as mine. Secondly, in the belief of the shia doctrine, which Iran practices, the Mahdi, their foretold imam will not come until the israelites have been wiped off the face of the earth. We all know those who fight for their gods and don't leave things to nature to act itself out. 3 Likes |

US Navy Deploys 10,000 Troops to Crush Iranian Blockade in First 24 Hours The US military has slammed a powerful naval blockade on all ships entering or leaving Iranian ports, backed by 10,000 American sailors, Marines, and airmen along with a dozen warships and dozens of combat aircraft. In the opening day of the operation starting April 13, 2026, not a single vessel breached the line. Six merchant ships turned tail and headed back into Iranian ports after receiving clear orders from US forces. The blockade hits every nation equally—no favorites, no exceptions—for any traffic tied to Iranian ports in the Arabian Gulf and Gulf of Oman. At the same time, the US is keeping the Strait of Hormuz wide open for legitimate shipping to and from non-Iranian destinations, protecting global energy flows and freedom of navigation. This decisive move sends a strong message: America is serious about squeezing Iran’s regime while safeguarding vital international waterways. Sources: U.S. Central Command official statement Reuters reporting on CENTCOM announcement Original OSINT update from April 14, 2026 Iran ports . No activity. UAE is where Iran sales were channeled through . Iran losses expected to top up $400 million daily. 1 Like |

TASS (Russian state media) is raising concern over the appointment of Maj. Gen. Roman Gofman as the next Mossad chief. A Kremlin-linked analyst at RANEPA — the Russian Presidential Academy of National Economy and Public Administration — warned that Mossad may now “acquire a new dimension” of anti-Russia activity, citing Gofman’s Belarusian roots and what Moscow claims are deep operational ties between Mossad and Ukraine’s GUR intelligence directorate. The analyst further argued that under Gofman, Mossad is being transformed into what he called a “network agency” with full military capabilities — essentially, in his framing, a personal strike force for Netanyahu to eliminate adversaries.

US Plans for Handling Any Seized Iran-Linked Vessels During Blockade of Iranian Ports According to The Wall Street Journal, citing US officials: Any Iran-linked ships seized by the US military as part of the blockade of Iranian ports would be taken to temporary holding areas in the Arabian Sea or Indian Ocean while a permanent location is determined. The US continues to monitor and identify vessels for potential seizure. Meanwhile, multiple tankers reversed course near the Strait of Hormuz shortly after the operation began.

What connection do the Palestinians have to the Holocaust? It is true that a distinct Palestinian identity had not yet been formed at that time — contrary to claims made today. However, the Arabs who lived in the land of Israel, then called Palestine under the British Mandate, had a local leader named Haj Amin al-Husseini. Today, he is considered one of the symbols of the Palestinian struggle. He was extreme in his hatred and antisemitism and opposed Zionism at all costs. Among other things, he incited riots and pogroms against the Jewish community in the land of Israel and even in Arab countries. When the Nazi regime rose to power, he became a close ally of Adolf Hitler and collaborated with the Nazis. Al-Husseini supported the implementation of the Final Solution and called for its expansion to include Jews in Arab countries. He even helped establish a Muslim volunteer unit within the military wing of the SS. Today, more than 80 years later — on one hand, Palestinians are among the leading Holocaust deniers, including Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas, who wrote his doctoral dissertation on the subject. On the other hand, there is widespread admiration for Nazi ideology — in many homes in Gaza entered by IDF soldiers, copies of Mein Kampf in Arabic translation were reportedly found. Hamas are the new Nazis, and the atrocities committed on October 7 are the worst the Jewish people have experienced since the Holocaust. (Yoseph Haddad) 1 Like

IRAN’S CENTRAL BANK WARNS OF SEVERE ECONOMIC COLLAPSE Iran’s Central Bank has warned President Pezeshkian that inflation could reach 180%, an additional 2 million people could become unemployed, and full economic recovery could take more than 12 years — even assuming a return to pre-war conditions and without full reimposition of U.S. sanctions. The assessment highlights that decades of mismanagement, corruption, and sanctions had already left Iran’s economy deeply fragile before the recent conflict. War damage to factories, energy infrastructure, bridges, and railways has accelerated the crisis, with the rial continuing to weaken and prices rising sharply. Pezeshkian’s own associates reportedly fear that if Iran goes bankrupt, his government will be held responsible The regime prioritized weapons programs over economic stability. The bill is now due.

Embassy of Israel to the U.S.: The numbers tell a story - and it’s a painful one. 2025 saw the highest level of deadly violence against Jews in over 30 years, with attacks spanning three continents and lives lost in places that should have been safe. But beyond the statistics is something deeper: a growing fear, a sense that antisemitism is no longer shocking - but becoming normalized. On Yom HaShoah, we remember where hatred like this can lead and why we cannot afford to ignore it. 1 Like 1 Share
