Iran Crisis & the 2026 War between Iran and the United States, Gulf States, and Israel - Please focus on news and coverage, not argumentation.

[3-2-1836]

Yup. I did get a phone call from my girl in the southwest. She's safe and alive. We only had aittle bit to talk. It's in and off with landline calls and some cell calls.

My friend from Tehran (she lives less than 10km from Khomeini tomb) also called me this morning, it was so weird getting a call from +98, the last time she called me was when Israel was bombing and Iran shut off the internet then.

What really pushed it over the edge was inflation and the economy collapsing. Fastest way to piss people off is when bread and milk cost $20, on top of that, you have to pay for water and rolling blackouts.

The Rial is worth 0 USD now. The economy of Iran has collapsed at this point in time when something like this happens its only a matter of time before everything else collapses. The strikes which I am guessing are going to happen in about 3-4 hours will push everything over the boiling point. If Trump is going to wait until Friday and does the strikes then its retarded. He needs to strike while the Iron is still hot.

I don't care about your opinion

Cry harder because I disagree with you while providing sources. It's utterly pathetic how you bitch about me because I don't follow the circlejerk.

The ironic thing about the whole water crisis is that the Iranians built far too many dams as an infrastructure project that ultimately led nowhere. Massive amount of money down the drain for nothing.

Trump isn't going to strike on a weekday and risk the markets freaking out when they're doing so well. The iron will still be hot on Friday and we need time to move assets to the Gulf. If the protests were faltering then Iran would have restored internet and allow incoming international phone calls.

I dunno if he can wait that long. He just canceled the upcoming meeting with the Mullahs so my money is on strikes today or tomorrow.

 

[Clyde Cash's Left Teste]

Aren't they going to start hanging the captured protesters tomorrow? If the protesters are able to get them free that would be something.

I don't know this channel. But it doesn't appear to be Pajeet slop or Falun Gong. Besides the thought of Regular Iranian Army Forces kissing Trumps picture on Camera and begging him to save them is far too fucking hilarious to fact check.

My report on i24NEWS: The dramatic discussion at Israel's security cabinet.

Israel's Security Cabinet convenes in Jerusalem at this hour, a discussion described by some as dramatic. Ministers are expected to discuss plans for a transition to an offensive against Iran, in coordination with the Americans. There's a clear caveat, however, this offensive option is on the table only in the event in which Israel is attacked.

Jerusalem continues to stress that all rests on President Trump, the Americans are the ones managing the situation. Such military involvement would take place only if necessary. Additional scenarios will also be examined.

If yesterday there were concerns that talks toward a renewed nuclear agreement could give the ayatollah regime time to recover, suppress the unrest, and preserve its terrorist activity in the region, President Trump’s clear remarks this evening are being seen as a distinct calming signal.

The prevailing sense is that this is an event on a historic scale, one that could reshape the Middle East and, as a consequence, the face of the entire world. Israel watches closely and prepares.


Detroit, Jan 13 (Reuters) - U.S. President Donald Trump, asked what he meant by a Social Media post saying "help is on its way" to protesters in Iran, told reporters on Tuesday that they would have to figure it out.

"You're going to have to figure that one out. I'm sorry," Trump said in response to a question. Trump traveled to Detroit to give a speech on the economy.

Iranian economic officials, traders tell Reuters they've turned against the regime and IRGC - a senior Iranian official said "No one knows how much of the oil money that the Guards get from selling Iran’s oil returns to the country ... they are too powerful to be questioned about it".

Here's my post with the video of the Artesh kissing the picture of Trump. If he's really Artesh or it's a Mossad psyop, who knows.

Trump: "It's a good idea for Americans to leave Iran."

Also Trump:

Yeah, we bombin them. Whenever he talks like this shit blows up eventually

Yeah I answered that call so fucking fast .

Saying that we will know in 24 hours implies that the Iranian government will be gone by then, I would imagine.

 

[Shovelbird]

It's exactly the opposite. He unified whole Turkey and suppressed the islamic militants and put the country among the top few in the world.
Pedrogan is the exact opposite and completely ruined economy already.

You misunderstood me. He was a visionary and skilled, but too soft to actually finalize his dreams. He didn't rip Islamist influence away completely and instead made a soft compromise.

Your words are good, but, what I wanted to say is Ataturk wasn't harsh enough for the coup de grace to tear the Anatolian Tribalism and Islamism.

The moment he died Ismet fucked up his reforms and rode on neutrality of WW2, actually helped "his own people" Kurds and settled many to the Western Turkey, and let them become mafioso.

What would it take to achieve that though? You would have to kill or capture the heads of several parts of the government, and find a way to destroy the Muslim kings army before they run wild as a response.

Me thinks that is unlikely.

What the over under on Mossad agents firing missles at Israel from Iran to provoke this?

I'm sure Israel has a plan for all of this. I would bet they know exactly which people they can (or already have) turn and will try to get things servicable in Iran as quickly as possible. They obviously want to appear as the saviors of Iran.

Either way I'm just reading between the lines. I don't know how else we would know exact casualty numbers without overthrowing the government.

In another twist to the regional Soap Opera, our old friend Ramzan Kadyrov, brutal thug of Chechnya looks to be dying again. But probably for real this time. The family is gathering with sharpened knives. So Putins little corner of Islamic Hell may suddenly set itself on fire again.

Also it looks like the Chinese have told the Ayatolla's to fuck off. Xi probably feels whatever comes after them will be better for China with regard to things like rare earth metals and oil.

Yeah. Covid made me realize that normies put up with a lot of retarded bullshit on the day to day as long as the paychecques and goodies keep flowing.

The burqas/hijabs and restrictions on dancing/fun are no different from the masks and lockdowns.

What really sets people off is when they’re staring down the reality of material hardship: inflation, job loss, shortages.

I can agree with your statement to a certain degree its not normal for Trump to strike on a weekday but I think it would be symbolic for Trump to strike the day before political hangings are taking place to ignite the protests even more. I feel it could either way but its retarded to wait when the time is right.
