Around and around we go. As much as Trump keeps repeating “deal” will not will one into existence. The next steps are obvious.


The only solution is going to be the removal of the current regime. Resume the bombing campaign and this time get arms to the Iranian people. They are online begging the outside world to help arm them so they can take down the regime from the inside.

Getting them armed with some communications for coordination would go a long way to help bring the Islamic Republic down. When we were drone striking Basij and IRGC stations non stop with Israel, is when the Iranian people should have been able to move on the regime with arms and comms.

Translated from Persian
I'm right here, one of this crowd, in this very scene from this horror movie.
When we were backing away next to this gas pump, someone grabbed the collar of my shirt from behind. In those few seconds before I turned around, I thought whoever had my collar must be a security agent, and I'd been caught, and...
When I turned, I saw a middle-aged woman in bad shape, with half-open eyes, who had grabbed my shirt collar for help.

The effects of tear gas and stress and nonstop running had pushed that woman to the brink of fainting.
She collapsed to the ground.

Me and another woman stayed by her side; with the water bottle I had in my hand, I splashed water on her face to bring her around.
The crowd passed by us one by one, the street getting emptier, and right in front of us, the wild hyenas of the tactical unit were standing there.
The woman who had stayed to help me got up and ran off when the last person from the crowd passed us, but the woman was still unconscious, and I didn't know what the hell to do.

To be honest and straightforward, in those few seconds, it crossed my mind a thousand times to get up and run myself. I was scared—no, the more accurate way to put it is that I was "terrified."
The street was empty, full of debris and smoke and fire, and the agents were 50 meters ahead.
I pulled a cigarette out of the pack, lit it, held the smoke under her nose, and... she came to.

We got up, joined another group of people coming from the street below, and I never saw her again.
I don't even remember what that woman looked like.
I don't even know if she's alive or dead.
But if you read this someday, you owe me a pack of cigarettes, because I left it on the ground.

Out there, in the hellscape of Iran, a lady owes a man a new pack of cigs. :lol:

URGENT: A promise of mass slaughter on live IRGC TV. ??

The Chief Justice of the Islamic Republic brazenly went on state television and shouted at President Trump:
“Who are you to tell us not to execute them?!”

He officially declared that the regime will completely ignore the international community and promised to carry out executions “swiftly and ruthlessly.”

The very men whose hands are dripping with the blood of 45,000 innocent Iranians are now promising a rapid wave of new hangings!

The world needs to see this. FINISH THE JOB! NO MORE TALKS!

SITUATION ROOM—After a two-hour Situation Room meeting, the White House says President Trump will only approve an Iran deal that “satisfies his red lines.”

A White House official emphasized:

“President Trump will only make a deal that is good for America and satisfies his red lines.”

“Iran can never possess a nuclear weapon.”


Well that turned out to be a whole lot of nothing news-wise, for today at least.

U.S. Navy Central Command has warned mariners and airmen that CENTCOM will be conducting military operations in the Strait of Hormuz, north of Oman's Musandam Peninsula located in the middle of the strait.

USNAVCENT has advised to mariners to collaborate with the United States when transiting the Strait of Hormuz. USNAVCENT has also announced that any vessel spotted engaging in, or supporting, mine-laying activities will be targeted by the United States.
Some of those regime hardliners are losing faith in their current gayatollah.

Mojtaba Khamenei’s authority is increasingly being challenged from within the Islamic Republic itself.

A sitting member of Iran’s parliament appears to have launched a direct theological attack on Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei, highlighting the growing challenges to his authority inside the regime.

Hamid Rasaee shared a passage referencing the story of Noah’s son - a figure rejected despite his family ties because he was deemed unworthy through his actions. The post emphasized that leadership and legitimacy come from faith and merit, not bloodline.

The message was widely interpreted as a thinly veiled attack on Mojtaba Khamenei and the dynastic nature of his succession.

The incident is notable because Mojtaba’s authority has faced growing public scrutiny since taking power.

Since succeeding his father, Mojtaba Khamenei has not appeared publicly even once, fueling growing questions about his leadership, legitimacy, and ability to govern, both inside and outside the Islamic Republic.

What was once whispered behind closed doors is increasingly being said in public. Even figures within the establishment now appear willing to openly challenge the legitimacy and qualifications of the new Supreme Leader.

He's saying that is in the "Deal" he is about to decide if he wishes to accept or not.


Radio said he had lifted it. Guess they read it wrong. It made no sense to me that he would remove the one chip we had against them at the moment. Thanks
He has lifted the blockade on the strait, which gives Iran exactly what they want in regards to the SOH. WTF....

You don't lift it until they give you what WE demand... What the hell Trump?

Unless you are planning on raining down the thunder on Iran and this is a move to get ships out of the way, I don't see why the hell you lift the blockade. That was your bargaining chip....
The whole process of buying used or classic vehicles is a PITA because we are the only state in the gulf south that requires notaries to get involved. The whole titling system in a nutshell along with the laws that created it suck.

Stay away from that engine. It has AFM and is a ticking time bomb with the crappy lifter design, unless the PO disabled all of that and had the lifters replaced. Even if you disable AFM, the actual design of the lifters themselves are prone to failure over time.

After U.S. forces reportedly struck IRGC targets in Bandar Abbas in response to attacks on American assets, the Islamic Republic escalated further by launching missiles and drones toward Kuwait, including near a U.S. air base.

U.S. forces also intercepted four IRGC suicide drones targeting a commercial vessel before striking another drone launch unit preparing additional attacks

Ships didn't want to pay the "Enviromental Fee" I reckon and that's why they got fired upon. Some shite is going to if not already get leveled on the Iranian coast soon.
