BREAKING:

An Iranian projectile just struck a bulk carrier off the coast of Qatar.

The vessel was set on fire by the attack. Qatar helped Iran evade sanctions for years while also helping to push Tehran’s propaganda through Al Jazeera and yet Iran still attacked them

Almost all of Iraqs internal security and oppression of the people is being handled by foreign mercenaries out of Iraq. Some have worked with Iran loosely before some haven’t.

Telegraph

Pressure campaign might be working if the IRGC are to a man pushed be more front facing. Also they have to pay these mercenaries and money will run out

The plane was able to land safely is what I'm seeing from other posts on X.

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.


He's going to Chyna later this week. I doubt anything of significance happens until he returns home.

Would be amazing to have the strikes timed with the meeting with China. Imagine the bucktoothed aid rushing in, bowing to the ground furiously before whispering news of the resumed attack while trump is sitting
There with a massive smile on his face.

JUST IN: Reports from Iran indicate that Tehran has delivered its response to the U.S. proposal to Pakistani mediators.


Do any of us expect this response to be significantly different than any of their previous responses?

This is what I expect:

quote:

Iran gets to keep their nuclear dust and continue developing their nuclear program.

The existing regime remains in power.

They will charge tolls for transit through the strait and fees for undersea cables.

They get to keep their ballistic missiles and build new ones.

The US taxpayer pays to fix all the damage we've done.


So, a big "frick you!" to us.

I don't see any way this ends until the current regime is forced out.

Seems to me that the choice is simple enough. The Islamic Republic's agreement on anything is worthless and we either arm the uprising or put boots on the ground in some form or another.

Provide drones and Zoom training secession with Ukrainians looks the best to me.

From the article:

“The Islamic Republic of Iran sent today through Pakistani mediators its response to the latest text proposed by the United States to end the war,” the official IRNA news agency said, without offering details.

According to Iran’s proposal, the current phase of negotiations will focus exclusively on the cessation of hostilities in the region, a source familiar with the matter told IRNA.

Sources in both camps have told Reuters the latest peace efforts are aimed at a temporary memorandum of understanding to halt the war and allow traffic through the Strait of Hormuz while they discuss a fuller deal, which would have to address intractable disputes such as Iran’s nuclear program.

Seems like it should be a non-starter- if Iran isn't going to give in on their nuke program while we have the leverage of the blockade, they certainly aren't going to do it assuming we lift the blockade as part of a preliminary "deal."

Nothing in the latest response matters because even if some supposed “deal” is reached, as long as an IRGC member fires a rocket or threatens ships in the Strait, insurance companies will remain very hesitant to insure cargos and the oil market will remain constrained.
