Israel's position is that Western Iraq outpost is just the frontier of Greater Israel.

I really like this strategy of confiscating and/or blowing up the engine rooms of Iranian ships. Think how much Iran must have spent on a ship full of missile fuel, and we just take it under the ancient doctrine of "it's ours now." We seized a couple of their tankers full of hundreds of millions of dollars worth of oil and are sending them to the US where they will presumably be powering our cars.

And there's really not a whole lot Iran can do about it except get mad.

If the Quds force commander is in Iraq, he should be droned.

If we keep letting the Mullahs and the IRGC to drag things out, I fear this is exactly what is going to happen. I would not be surprised that is actually what those religious zealots want. That is, knowing their time is up, they are willing to burn everything down that they can and letting those wells shut down is a final "screw you" to the world on their way out.

At least that is how it appears to be playing out to me right now anyway. The Iranian people won't have shite to work with once we end the Islamic Republic.


I think the Mullahs are watching CNN, BBC, Bloomberg, Reuters,etc. and see people complaining about rising gas prices and airlines warning about shortages of aviation fuel and helium shortages and so forth and so on and they believe Trump will eventually go TACO. Every day without massive air strikes just reenforces that belief.
There just is no alternative-it;s time for bridges and power plant day.

Bahrain’s ministry of foreign affairs has released a statement warning against further Iranian interference within the country and against its other Gulf neighbors. Per the release, Iran has used various measures, including the employment of espionage cells with links to the Iranian Revolutionary Guards Corps and Lebanese Hezbollah, to subvert Bahrain’s sovereignty.

Direct message to Iran in the statement:

His Excellency the Minister called on the Islamic Republic of Iran to comply fully with its obligations under international law and the resolutions of international legitimacy, and to completely cease its aggressive and provocative acts and sinful interventions against the Kingdom of Bahrain and the countries of the region, including the use of terrorist proxies and militias, targeting maritime navigation and threatening vital corridors, foremost of which is the Strait of Hormuz, as these illegal practices represent a direct threat to the security of international navigation, energy supply chains, food security, global trade, and their negative repercussions on the global economy and regional and international peace and security.

It’s been rather quiet on the Iran front. Weren’t they supposed to respond by last night?

Yeah, another deadline came and went and Iran is laughing at us. They’ll play the long game and laugh as oil stays above $90 for the next 6 months and very likely much longer.

A PAK (Kurdistan Freedom Party) commander who previously threatened Iranians with arson and beheading is now openly selling Starlink terminals allegedly intended for Iranian protesters.

President Trump repeatedly claimed that weapons and Starlink terminals sent to support protesters during the January 2026 uprising were diverted through Iraqi Kurdish networks and never fully reached the Iranian people.

Now videos and screenshots circulating online appear to support those claims.

Many Iranians are accusing Kurdish separatist networks of intercepting and profiteering from aid that was meant to help protesters bypass the Islamic Republic’s historic internet blackout during a crackdown in which over 45,000 unarmed Iranian protesters were slaughtered.

PAK commander Ebrahim Oveysi is now being accused of openly selling those Starlink terminals online instead of helping distribute them to protesters inside Iran.

There are also growing fears that some of these sales could be traps linked to networks with past ties to the IRGC or Iranian intelligence services.

Yeah, this crap is getting old. They (Trump), have to know we don't care/want to hear from them. Whatever it is won't be real anyway. Bomb these delusional losers and make them pay for all their actions now and throughout the years. They don't care about us, society, their own people, the environment, and maybe even themselves. You can't negotiate with stupid!

They believe in the virtue of fighting a no win scenario and paying the ultimate price for their faith. We’re going to have to eradicate them to win.

We can totally do that but it has a real cost that I’m not sure we can afford and I’m not talking about buying the arms necessary to do it either. I’m talking about our international prestige. Our ability to operate on the global stage.

With each passing day more and more people are voicing their disapproval. IDK what Trump’s plan is but he needs to figure it out and implement it SOON.
