I wonder why the Arab states haven’t built a pipeline. From UAE-Saudi Arabia-Oman is 400 miles. That would circumvent Iran.


Im a huge fan of pipelines.

But they are not easy to defend against motivated enemies.

Nothing is easy. But they present a very long and difficult challenge.

I believe Mexico struggles to protect pipelines from cartels.

Hard to protect miles of pipe. The attacker has the initiative on time, place and method.

Cartels siphon off of the Mexican pipelines.

Im not sure which would be worse. Blowing them up?
Or funding the enemy?

The US needs something similar IMO. Look at Israel - every person there women and men are on the ready with experience.

Dear Compatriots,

To ensure that Iran does not suffer a disruption in the administration of the country following the fall of the Islamic Republic, two important tasks have been underway simultaneously over the past months.

First, the development of a clear plan for governing the country within the framework of the "Iran Prosperity Project."

Second, the identification and selection of worthy women and men to participate in the "Transition System" and implement this plan.

In this process, many compatriots with valuable experiences and the expertise needed by our country have expressed their readiness to participate in the reconstruction of the nation and serve the homeland.

This process has been carried out within the framework of the committee for reviewing and selecting members of the Transition System, which is managed by Dr. Saeed Ghaseminejad. Within this framework, over the recent months, capable individuals inside and outside the country have been identified and evaluated for leading various sections of the Transition System.

The Transition System, under my guidance, will be ready to take the reins of governing the country immediately upon the fall of the Islamic Republic and, in the shortest possible time, establish order, security, freedom, and the foundations for prosperity and flourishing for Iran.

Long live Iran,
Reza Pahlavi

Last night, U.S. forces executed a large-scale precision strike on Kharg Island, Iran. The strike destroyed naval mine storage facilities, missile storage bunkers, and multiple other military sites. U.S. forces successfully struck more than 90 Iranian military targets on Kharg Island, while preserving the oil infrastructure.

We probably don't need all those people in law enforcement or armed forces. However, we could use young adults in mandatory public service on public works and social services.

Helping with controlled burns to avoid wildfires. Infrastructure projects. Emergency response work. You know, just all the little things in government where the taxpayers end up overpaying for the human resource because so much of it is contracted out which means you're paying someone(s) in the middle who is doing very little or basically nothing.

However, I think such an approach would help with that exact thing in the armed forces. Stop contracting out dining facilities. You're going to be carrying a larger force, so go back to soldiers feeding soldiers.

Ukraine and Iran are both facing occupation; Ukraine by foreign occupiers, and us by internal occupiers.

I and the President of Ukraine, Volodymyr Zelenskyy, along with our teams, have discussed how we can stand together and collaborate in the fight for freedom.

History is on our side; and light will ultimately triumph over darkness.

“Mojtaba Khamenei, you do not control the armed forces. You will be exterminated.”

A member of Iran’s armed forces says Mojtaba Khamenei does not control the military and claims the IRGC is the one truly running the show, describing Mojtaba as a lame-duck puppet installed by the regime.

He then threatens that Mojtaba and other regime officials will be “exterminated like rats” and proceeds to burn Mojtaba

BREAKING: The Israeli Air Force released two videos recorded by Hermes-900 and Heron TP armed drones. The footage shows the destruction of engineering equipment, including bulldozers used by IRGC Aerospace Force engineering units to clear the entrances of tunnels at their underground ballistic missile bases. By preventing them from opening these tunnels, the strikes aim to stop the IRGC from bringing more ballistic missiles out of these bases to launch at Israel and other countries.
