Kuwait accuses Iran and its proxies of violating the ceasefire with drone strikes on “some vital Kuwaiti facilities Thursday night,” while Saudi Arabia confirms a recent attack damaged its key East-West oil pipeline.

Iran’s IRGC denies responsibility, claiming: “If these reports published by the media are true, without a doubt it is the work of the Zionist enemy or America,” despite ongoing proxy activity raising tensions ahead of US-Iran talks in Islamabad.

They may believe it is the best time they will get to make a push for Taiwan (diplomatically speaking). They likely view us as having our hands full and being overextended, and possibly that our munitions supply is dwindling (for lack of a better word).


Very possible but I believe they will think twice after seeing how quickly our military has decimated the defenses that they provided to Iran.

Along with the advances that have been shown briefly.

All of our military forces are not focused or stationed around Iran….

I read we have only used 10% of our hardware capability in the Iranian operation... so far.

If the Iranian population can get armed it becomes a war of attrition that the IRGC can't win.

*Text for the above post*

My friend Craig Bergman offers a brilliant take: Unless you live under a rock or are intentionally obtuse, let me explain things. There is no cease-fire.

The reason there is no cease-fire is Iran no longer has a functioning government.

Trump negotiated with one of the larger factions.

There are 24 factions

Not all of them want peace. Not all of them will even negotiate.

So what is Trump doing?

It should be completely obvious to anyone who is not intentionally not wanting to understand.

He is pitting the factions against each other with competing interests for money and power and safety.

And when one of them betrays the other, they will take care of the bad one.

If they don’t, then Trump will randomly target them again and blame them all as if they are one government. That will frustrate them greatly, causing them again to turn on each other because there is no longer any single central authority.

This is absolutely brilliant, but if you think it’s gonna mean peace, if you think the Strait is really going to be open, and if you think Iran has surrendered and decided to play nice, you are delusional.

If you think Trump wants to murder 90 million people you are beneath delusional: you are intentional.

So chill out and watch the show: it is a master class.

And yes, I’m not predicting it. I am telling you what is happening.

This is not a guess. This is not an informed opinion.

I am speaking fact. Watch it happen.

June 2025 is a prime example right?

Why hasn’t the US jumped back in this fight yet?


My guess is this is the planned 2nd phase. We announced that we had completed hitting our military targets. Now that we are out of the air the rest of the Middle Eastern countries are getting some. Then comes the 3rd stage, the civilian uprising.

Everything you read on here has to taken with a grain of salt. I check this thread for news, but how much of it is actually true.
