How are the Houthis getting funded and equipped for these attacks?
Crypto payments,China, black market etc. They were also flying in IRGC support to them for a while. It's one of the reasons we sanctioned all of their air travel and made it very difficult for them to run even their civilian airline services.

Honestly what are they going to do. This isn’t going to change until there are boots on the ground in Yemen
Should be the KSA's boots on the ground. But everyone knows how that will end, with them getting rocked. That said, they are getting a taste of what it's like when your "allies" don't have your back. That Mecca alliance isn't worth the paper it was written on.
They are going to beg us even more to get involved. We should tell them to get fricked after some of the BS they pulled during the conflict with Iran.

The "Mecca" pact is about to get it's real test now. The KSA is about to find out how serious Pakistan and Turkey are about mutual defense, now that the IRGC's lackeys have killed a bunch of civilians in SA.

The Islamic Republic’s own forces are speaking out about hunger, missing equipment and a war they fear they cannot survive.
In a video posted today, a man wearing an Iranian Army uniform appeals directly to IRGC commander Ahmad Vahidi. He says soldiers are starving, lack proper gear and are living in hellish conditions. His message is blunt: come and see what they face, then sign a deal before another war begins.
His face is blurred, so his identity cannot be confirmed from the video. His plea comes as the IRGC is also under severe pressure, including repeated attacks on its forces in Sistan and Baluchestan. The strain is no longer confined to one branch of the military or one front.
The regime has long favoured the IRGC with money, power and access while the regular army receives less. Now economic collapse and prolonged conflict are putting pressure on both. Vahidi boasts of military strength, while a man in uniform is asking whether soldiers have enough food and equipment to fight.
The Islamic Republic keeps threatening a wider war as the forces expected to fight it describe desperate conditions.

IRGC looks to be a little paranoid.... Testing what is essentially low altitude flak. At least it sounds like fireworks. Hell with all the fakery and propaganda from the IRGC, it might just be fireworks. :lol:

Looks like the IRGC is trying to force Trump to do something before the midterms.

IRGC is claiming they will soon "block" the southern route in the SOH. I think the USN will have something to say about that....

According to an IRGC statement published by Iranian state media outlet Fars News, the IRGC will soon block the southern route through the Strait of Hormuz.
The route has reportedly been used by commercial vessels to transport oil out of the Middle East under U.S. military escort.

Is it weird to anyone else that we all just assume the supreme leader exists? Seems like this should be a primary talking point of this whole thing until he shows something that indicates he exists.
Oh he has been dead for quite a while now. The only "Supreme" Leader in Iran right now is Ahmed Vahidi. He is just using Motjaba as a face to hide behind because no one is actually going to contest it.

Looks like as the noose tightens, Vahidi is consolidating power.

An impeachment motion against Iran’s foreign minister, Abbas Araghchi, has been filed in the parliament’s system.
The trigger was Abbas Araghchi’s contacts in New York with US officials, including envoy Steve Witkoff, on the sidelines of the UN General Assembly. Tehran MP Amirhossein Sabeti, who filed the motion, says that meeting was not authorized by the Supreme Leader and fell outside Iran’s policy framework.
It now needs to be sent to the leadership.

U.S. OFFICIALS: IRAN PLANNED MULTI-PRONGED ATTACK ON RAF FAIRFORD
Senior U.S. officials say the Iranian plot targeting RAF Fairford was a complex, multi-pronged operation designed to damage American aircraft and kill U.S. personnel stationed at the base.
According to the report, investigators believe Iran may have drawn inspiration from Ukraine’s Operation Spiderweb, the June 1, 2025 drone operation that smuggled drones deep inside Russia and struck strategic bomber bases.
The new details come after the U.S. rapidly withdrew its bombers from Fairford over the Iranian-linked threat. President Trump has confirmed that the aircraft were moved because of the threat, while British authorities continue investigating possible Iranian state involvement. (Reuters)

US. Secretary of State Marco Rubio has reportedly just held a phone call with Prime Minister Netanyahu, the State Department confirmed.
The call comes just hours after reports that Washington lifted restrictions on Israeli operations in Iraqi airspace, potentially clearing the way for Israel to strike Iran-backed militias operating in Iraq.
It also follows a high-level Trump administration meeting at Camp David focused on Iran and Yemen, attended by Rubio, Vice President JD Vance, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, CIA Director John Ratcliffe, Joint Chiefs Chairman Gen. Dan Caine and Middle East envoy Steve Witkoff.
The State Department has not yet revealed what Rubio and Netanyahu discussed, and no official connection between the call and the Iraqi airspace reports has been confirmed.
