I check the Politics board of City-Data occasionally and it is full of doom and gloom with TDS running rampant over there.

He's even contacting CHINA

"We are partnering with our Gulf allies who are much more willing to share the bank accounts of members of the Iranian regime in their countries."

"We are reaching out to banks, including Chinese banks, to remind them that any Iranian goods and the purchases thereof are forbidden, and that the dollars would be sanctioned, and that we will press for secondary sanctions if there's a problem."

The regime is on the run

Commander of Iran's Khatam al-Anbiya Headquarters, Ali Abdollahi:

The Iranian Armed Forces will not allow any exports and imports to continue in the Persian Gulf, the Sea of ??Oman, and the Red Sea if the American blockade continues.

Notice that the negotiations have shifted from “How can we get Iran to cooperate with international law?” to “How can we get America to cooperate with international law?”

Trump has shifted the Overton Window.

If the U.S. continues with its naval blockade, this will be considered a violation of the ceasefire, and Iran will act with force to defend its national sovereignty and interests.







He gonna be dead soon.

Also looking forward to the IRGC spokeman to get turned into pink mist.

I'm predicting Iran won't actually do anything. Think they have already exhausted the majority of their capabilities

I think you are right. Seems like the US called their bluff on the strait and the paper tiger is now exposed.

Whoa that's crazy. Imagine being a Basij soldier at a checkpoint. You're literally a sitting duck. Hopefully this leads to more defections.


This is exactly what I described just days into the war. The ground game will not be tanks and artillery. It will be snipers. Take out the enemy parading around in uniforms by gunmen shooting them in public from windows and cars. They will not have an enemy to fight, but will be picked off one by one until they defect.

THE TRUTH ABOUT THE MINAB SCHOOL IS EXPOSED!

The Islamic Republic converted a school in Minab into a barracks, where over 120 schoolchildren were killed as human shields.

A brave citizen from Minab shared this video and photos after finally gaining internet access following 46 days of blackout. The regime built a guard tower and converted parts of Shajareh Tayyebeh School into a military position.

An IRGC Navy guard tower stands in the middle of the school courtyard. Does this look like a place of education or a military barracks?

The child-killing Islamic Republic regime is solely responsible for the slaughter of these children.

Will undercover Islamic Republic supporters now condemn this brazen use of human shields?

1. Good for Europe.

2. It’s Europe, they will have many meetings to talk about it and draw up plans but will never actually do anything.

Hopefully this will be the one time they follow through on something. Giving us every reason we need to say bye to NATO.

That is laughable. Without the US, I would bet that 1000 randomly picked rednecks from the south could defeat 1000 of their soldiers.

They probably dont have enough rifles to give each of their solders one. And certainly not 5-6 magazines.

The EU has spent the last 20 years spending on social programs and nothing on defense. They depended on the US for that.

Hopefully those days are numbered.

Looks like this could be a drone strike. If it had been a Hellfire, there wouldn't be that much left.

I'm sure it is possible to have someone in Omaha pilot an FPV drone in Iran given the right connections. A big drone could deliver a bunch of little drones and act as a mother ship. The Ukrainians have done that in various ways, but they have serious pressure of immediate motivation while our military is still battling bureacratic procedures.

Looking at the map, it would seem that the Iranian island at the top of the Straight would be a good place to take over and place defenses.
