I thought the IRGC navy was at the bottom of the sea? How did they rebuild so fast?

BREAKING: Iran's IRGC has just launched an anti-ship cruise missile from Sirik toward the Strait of Hormuz per initial reports, with the likely target being an oil tanker sent by the US that switched off its AIS an hour ago while passing through the US-backed southern route.

This comes as Trump simultaneously claims just minutes ago "there's a deal on Hormuz and there will be a deal on denuclearization" with "new Iran negotiations to begin Monday afternoon."

In the most optimistic of worlds, even if Ghalibaf and/or Araghchi were trustworthy counterparts and actually came to the negotiating table willing and able to make a deal, it's clear the IRGC wouldn't abide by whatever is agreed to anyway so a "deal" will always be pointless and not worth the paper it's printed on.

A significant oil spill in the gulf would likely put a bunch of desalination plants offline.

It sounds crazy but the maybe poor as frick Muslims that have been under sanctions for most of their lives don’t really care to make a deal and are happy blowing shite up

Who could have seen that coming?

That would be very optimistic, as both Ghalibaf and Araghchi are IRGC loyalists. They try to paint themselves as moderates for international appeal, but they are either current or former IRGC members and tow that org's political lines.

This has been going on every week for several months now. Every bleepin Sunday they say a big beautiful deal is almost done, and by Tuesday the bombs are flying again. This is truly the most retarded shite I have ever seen.

It’s either as you say it is (which I tend to strongly believe) or it’s calculated and by design.

I'm not part of the cult, but I'm not willing to say it is a "complete and utter failure", either.

Trump certainly fallen well short of his original goals:

Brief war (6 weeks)
Regime change
Permanent elimination of the nuclear threat

He's flailing about looking for a way out.

The media kills me....

The irgc navy has launched a cruise missile towards a tanker.....

Reality: Some fella in a piroque launched a bottle rocket that fizzled out in the water far from any vessel.

Question:

If iran has "closed the strait" what are they shooting at, cause there is nothing there correct? Or are they full of shite and anyone can search the net and see vessels are indeed going through the strait......though not to or from iran. So whose arse is closed down again???

Trump’s failure is listening more to Kushner than Bradley Cooper.

I think what happened is that Iran has proven being able to continue to launch accurate missiles. The neighboring countries have been told if the usa destroys our electrical grid and bridges we (Iran) will do the same to you. Mutual destruction because we can’t solve the missile issue

They have a very funny way of showing that they don't want to expand regional tension.

REPORT: Iran has reportedly rejected the latest U.S. proposal on the Strait of Hormuz, insisting the waterway will not fully reopen until the war ends, according to Al Mayadeen citing an Iranian source.

The source also claimed Washington accepted the continued closure of the southern shipping lane. The report has not been independently verified.


Rejected our proposal, what a shocking development.
