You'd think they would learn, but nope. '

Its like being the 200th Philistine that David killed. He looks at his friend and says, while climbing over a hill of his dead comrades, "Bet he hasn't seen this move!"

Oof. Guess he didn’t see that coming.

Keep up the pressure Mr President. They’ll buckle.

We should cut off all oil and gas to Europe

I guess you better call the White House and tell them this because it appears he has done the exact opposite.

The U.S. Treasury Department issued a temporary license on March 12 to allow countries to purchase Russian oil currently stranded at sea . . . providing Moscow with an additional 6 billion euros ($6.9 billion) in revenue.

Let's see, I bet with that $6.9 billion the Russians can afford to keep making those suicide drones they've been supplying to Iran to go along with the targeting data they provide.

The U.S. is literally paying for the weapons being used against our own military.

Sounds like a traditional thing… If the last 80 years hasn’t made your statement abundantly obvious to anyone.. Well, that’s just being obtuse.

They turned down Biden’s request to do this in the Red Sea too.

This has nothing to do with Trump… it has everything to do with the fact the Australian Navy is woefully unprepared to defend itself against China and can’t afford to dispatch a single ship for any reason not planned far in advance.

The last bit of our internet is bleeding out, so I am writing this here while I can still force this VPN connection through to the free world.

If I die, I will do so with a smile, knowing the enemies of my people and my country died with me. And I want the world to know, no matter what the circumstances, any innocent civilian blood spilled in this war is entirely on the hands of the terrorist Islamic regime occupying Iran.

I want the world to know that to us, this is a rescue mission, not a war. I want you to be our voice until Iran is free.

The regime is doing everything it can to blindfold us and the world by jamming satellite feeds and strangling the internet.

Please remember, no matter how many of us die, the regime is to blame. But if you cannot accept that sentiment, how about this:

They slaughtered over 36,000 Iranians in 8 to 12 hours spread over two nights in January alone, and they haven't stopped killing us.

You want the reality of the last two weeks of this war? Nearly 5,000 people have died. Over 4,400 of them are the regime's own military, IRGC, Basij, and government personnel getting systematically eradicated.

And the innocent civilians? Around 480 have been killed.
Why did they die? Because this cowardly terrorist syndicate intentionally embeds its military bases right next to our elementary schools and residential blocks. They use our children and our families as literal human shields while their commanders scurry into the dark.

Why do you think the regime actively cuts its own citizens off from information during a war, when information means life and ignorance means death? They are not doing it for our safety. They are plunging us into a digital blackout to hide their own collapsing ranks, and to ensure we cannot coordinate the uprising that will finish them.

And look around why don't they have any public air raid sirens or bomb shelters for us? Because for 47 years, they only poured our national wealth into building deep underground bunkers to protect their ballistic missiles and their clerics, leaving the Iranian people completely exposed on the surface to burn.

Not only have they been shooting people who take videos of military crash sites, but they have even executed at least one man right in the middle of this chaos. They are actively threatening the Iranian people on state media, telling us they will take revenge on all of us for this war and for the January uprising. They even mass-texted every single one of us that if we dare to come out again, they will commit a massacre that makes January look like nothing.

But guess what? None of us give a single damn about their threats.

The moment our time comes
the moment the call is given to us we will take to the streets to finish what we started and take our country back. I beg you to be our voice and support our leader, @PahlaviReza.

We wrote his name on the walls with our blood, and over 36K of our fallen heroes gave their lives asking for his return to the country and chanting his name.
Do not step on their blood by standing against him and the future freedom of Iran.

We know the way. We know where we want to go, and we know who can take us there. One nation, one flag, one leader for the transition to a secular, democratic Iran.

With all that said, I will try to keep my connection to the outside world alive for as long as possible to be the voice of my oppressed people.
Long live Iran

Reporter: Are there any diplomatic talks going on between the U.S. and Iran at all right now?

Trump: We’re talking to them. But I don’t think they’re ready — but they’re getting pretty close.

I don’t know that I want to make a deal because, you know what, first of all, nobody even knows who you’re dealing with because most of their leadership has been killed, as you know, right?

So I don’t even know that we want to make a deal. They want to make a deal badly — yes.

What does that look like?

The biggest thing following this is who takes charge afterwards, I may have missed it but I've no idea what the preferential outcome is.

Let's say they have an election, who's standing and what are their stances? Simply being anti IRGC does not guarantee good leadership

Australia has officially rejected Trump's request and will not send naval ships to help reopen the Strait of Hormuz.

The link I saw said it was the minister of infrastructure that told everyone no ships from Australia were coming.

Infrastructure? Do they not have a Secretary of War or equivalent? That's pretty embarrassing if you ask me.

Anyway, we'll be finishing this the exact way we knew we would...with just us and Israel.

Why work and toil and sweat and sacrifice to build Defense when you can maneuver to have some other country’s citizens work and toil and sweat and sacrifice to defend you?

Just go surfing, fish. Hang out, strong coffee in the morning and craft beer in the evening. In the legal profession, they have a term for creating reasonable doubt as a defense -SODDI.

Some Other Dude Did It. When Aussies are asked “how did Australia defend itself?”, their answer will be SODDI.

Shocker. He’s the very definition of limp waffler. How he hasn’t already been removed from office says a lot about the Brit’s these days.

No one said yes to trump.

Imo we should keep it closed to all of the ones who said no only while we finish the mission. Let china and all others through. to crush their energy while we reroute 100% of Venezuela's to us until it ends. If that is a viable option to keep ours low. Idk how that works

They have to be put in place

While my first reaction would be this, let them make their side deals...

Reduces the number of ships the US would have to insure through the strait.

Reduces the number of ships the US has to protect through the strait.

Plus, the new Iran leadership (when this one falls) will remember who stood with them and who made deals with murderers.

Last night, they took out every checkpoint they had set up under the bridges—under the Azadi Bridge and under the Azadi Freedom Bridge
Revolution Square, Molavi Street, all turned to smoke and went up in the air—they don't even have security under the bridges anymore
They obliterated their gathering on 17 Shahrivar Street too—God knows how many Basijis got turned to dust last night
Baharestan Square, they hit the areas around it, power got cut
Air defense has been firing uselessly for an hour now
The Oerlikon cannons they bought back in the Shah's time, stationed in Semnan's air defense, got taken out—all of them
Over 50 Oerlikon cannons stationed in Semnan were destroyed

We literally have our own Baghdad Bob in this thread. BTW Bob, the EU has been buying Russian oil ever since Joe Biden got us involved in a proxy war that literally served no US interests. Link us to all your posts railing about that.

And I'd guess that you didn't support China tariffs, which would have over time decreased our reliance on Chinese imports, That means that we are literally literally paying China money they use for weapons they supply to Iran. You're literally not very smart, Bob.
