We held off out of respect to China during a major state visit for them.

China only cares about Iran for what it means for their energy imports because they use a lot of energy and it is mostly imported.

Russia is probably more "allied" with Iran than China to be frank. We're about to bomb the shite out of Iran while Putin goes to see Xi.

The war is unpopular?


Yes. We’ve committed our soldiers to a months long campaign of which we’ve stopped almost completely.

We’re spending a shite ton of money, putting our soldiers lives at risk and have a blocked Strait only to show for it 3 months in.

Missiles and drones are still flying. Their people are trapped in their homes and scared as frick. He needs to finish this and fast.

Oh and I’m sure high gas prices are helping the cause. Trump is getting played for now the 4th time by the same regime he opted to replace.

After further updates have come out, the huge explosion in the Israel was not a controlled explosion. Improper storage of sodium perchlorate and nearby explosive material caused this explosion.

No reports of any so far. But that plant is toast and since it is tied to Israeli defense manufacturing, they are keeping a tight lid on things as of right now.

Have you forgotten about the ones who lost their lives? They were surely committed.

Beyond that, we have had pilots flying sorties while being shot at. Sailors on destroyers escorting commercial ships while having to fend off missiles and drones. And three carrier groups that are floating targets.

The latest from Al Jazeera on Sunday morning from their "live feed". I wish they would elaborate more.

quote:

Iran says it will soon reveal its plan to manage traffic ?through the Strait of ?Hormuz, including the charging of tolls.

US President Donald Trump has warned Iran it will have a “very bad time” if a peace deal is not reached soon, as Iranian Parliament Speaker Mohammed Bagher Ghalibaf declared that the world “stands at the cusp of a new order”.

Iran’s parliament speaker appointed special envoy to China

Iranian Consultative Assembly Speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf has been appointed special envoy to China, the state news agency Tasnim reports.

Since the outbreak of the war, Ghalibaf has emerged as one of the chief negotiators in talks with the US aimed at ending the conflict.

Anyone think if these crazy people in the middle east, any country, had nuclear weapons they wouldn't hesitate to use against the world anytime, anywhere?

Can you elaborate on your question a little?

Are you asking if the UAE would retaliate with nuclear weapons if they had any?

Our Space Force needs to get busy.

Time to put them out of the business of making war.

He said, "the middle east, any country". That is why I asked for elaboration.

It appears that Iran does not believe Trump’s repeated threats of resumed military action. And why would they? Strategically, we do not appear to be gaining ground.
