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


Tehran last night at Enghelab Square. There's still little footage coming out of Iran. The couple of people who know Iranians in this thread, what have they reported?
 
Hope it’s sooner rather than later tbh. The Ayatollah has already massacred 12,000 people in only a few days. If Trump jerks off till Friday it could be in excess of 6-figures by then if things get worse.

I wonder how much the Houthi's shipping lane interference influenced China's overall decision here.
None at all, the chinese are one of the few ships the houthis avoid and just let them pass through the bab el mandeb. As they consider the chinese provides them with military assets. (yes the chinese also partners with Israel but they don't care because they get to play with guns)
 
Its 10 minutes to midnight in Tehran now. If any action happens, we will see it at 5:30-7:30 EST which would be 2 to 3am for them. I expect power outages if the first strikes take down comms and power. I don't expect anything until tomorrow tbh.

NO TRUMP DON'T BOMB THEM OR MCAIN WILL HAVE A BRIEF SECOND OF HAPPINESS IN HELL!

In all seriousness I hope to god he can somehow stop those planned hangings.

I get it's not recent, but just because the Houthi's are instructed to avoid certain types of ships doesn't mean they aren't gonna hit them, intentionally or not.
 
@RandomTwitterGuy - your wrong about europe being a fortress outside the vizegrad nations which are still poorer you don't have any real military or industiral might beyond France and Poland at this point.
You have a housing situation that's pretty bleak and all the coping of "were whiter than you mutt" doesn't take into account in countires like Germany, the UK, and Belgium you have hate speech laws which criminalize speech. You have industries that got shipped to china or Africa and most of your populaces are disarmed and not really in any democratic position to respond to become and The EU is a laughing stock on the world's stage. Again if the EU collapsed tomorrow the world would move on. It would be less exciting than when the ussr collapsed.
 
Democrats were trying to get Trump into a war with Persia in his first term. But after they saw what happened with Maduro I think they are shitting their pants at the prospect of Trump successfully getting a regime change in Persia. China’s allies are collapsing. If Iran falls they’ll have:

1. Russia, mired by a war and historically unfavorable to helping China unless absolutely necessary
2. Mongolia, an undeveloped country with little value
3. North Korea, a reliable ally but essentially just a proxy of the CCP
4. Cuba, an increasingly sick old man of the Caribbean
5. Laos, probably the most poor country outside of Africa
6. Vietnam, unreliable and increasingly favorable to the West
7. Brazil / South Africa, allies in economy only, will not back them up in any military capacity

Mongolia and Vietnam hate China my dude. Vietnam is a borderline ally of the US and Australia at this point.

Vietnam is the opposite of a Chinese ally. It's to the point where they're looking towards America and going "sure you committed atrocities against us but you're decent tourists and have a huge military and China tried to push our shit in and will try again in the future". I wouldn't be surprised if we ally with Vietnam by the end of the decade.
 
Yeah, Vietnam recently bought (and locally produces via a license) modified Galil Ace rifles for their standard issue rifle for their military in 7.62x39mm.

I do not know how the article strengthens your point or counters mine.
The article already says it's a misunderstanding and explains why, and whatever damage done was minimal instead of their usual sinking, hijacking, looting and kidnapping crews.

heck the chinese literally choose to cross the red sea carrying high value goods like electric cars MULTIPLE times without worry as if it's just another tuesday for them.

Vietnam is the living embodiment of the Corneliu Zelea Codreanu quote "If I had but one bullet and were faced by both an enemy and a traitor, I would let the traitor have it"

We might have fucked their shit up for eighteen years but we didn't backstab them like the Chicoms.
 
While we wait for Happenings, some mil sperging.
This is the Sabalan, a modified and modernized M47 Patton. Yes, that Patton, the one that was obsolete by the 1960's.

But that isn't even the craziest thing they've done, here's the Tiam:

It's a Sabalan with a modified Type 59/T-55 tank turret. Yes, this is real. And don't worry, the Air Force gets its own Frankenplanes, like what they've done to keep the F-5 airframe usable:

The Saeqeh, which is built off the Azarakhsh, a literal piece by piece copy of the F-5. Iran is like Cuba, but instead of old cars, it's old equipment. And we all know about the F-14s, but they still use old style Hueys, CH-53's, and God knows how much else.
 
Or maybe they did and I missed it.
Given what happened the last time the anti shah retards were given a voice, yeah lol. Its a good idea to not give fuckwits like them attention since that's probably why they did that,to get attention to their shitty movement.
Iranian diaspora
Tbf that's what oppressing a nation full of SLIGHTLY inbred ( thanks islam) people does to your populace. They all grow to despise Islam even if you ignore irans complicated relationship with it.

moderate interpretations
It bears reminding that islam CANNOT be moderate because its inherently a shitty religion that was held together by the sword and the ulema constantly fucking around with the definitions.
my mom grew up in Iran watching Bolek and Lolek (polish cartoon) and Kurosawa films.
Credit where credits due, i have seen a fair few cool Iranian films and honestly weren't for the islamic government. I feel they would've had a super interesting movie scene as compared to the rest of the region barring Israel ( tbf has anyone watched an Israeli film worth a damn?). alot of autistic iranians i have talked to on telegram seem to be very cultured when it comes to media. Whether if it's film, vidya, music or books.
There is a reason lots of Iranians in the west have a similar reputation to Asians of being in prestigious careers like medicine, engineering, and law.
There's a shocking amount in programming too. though the sanctions mean that getting a job is an utter nightmare to say the least esp since most companies aren't gonna risk getting assfucked for hiring iranian programmers ( and that's not getting into the risk of some of those guys being iranian glowies trying to steal sensitive info from companies to ransom or sell to China)
non-mainstream interpretations of the religion and lifestyle
Repeating myself but Maybe during the era of the arab Renaissance and all the pan arab autism stuff islam could've been wiped out for good but heres an another problem;islam effectively assfucked the middle eastern populace to the point that for some people, islam is literally more important than their own nation, people or their own FUCKING FAMILY ( reminder there's a hadith where muhammad outright stated that he should be loved more than their own families because otherwise, lol, get beheaded munafiq). i have seen imam's suggest that you should disown your own flesh and blood if they don't pray to a dead pedophile 5 times a day. And that's without getting into the views over apostates ( iran is unique in that unlike other islamic nations, alot of them straight up don't give a shit if you follow islam or not and i won't be surprised that once the regime falls, the people will be more blatant with being ex muslim and such). However I have heard that supposedly north Africa has been having their own non Islamic nationalism awakening and the iran ordeal could signify some serious change in the mid east as mentioned beforehand.

while inbreeding is another factor behind the shittyness of the mid east. It is possible that through societal changes and policies that encourage fucking someone that isn't your own family member and pushing both sexes to meet each other so that they can find someone they want to date/marry. They can sort their inbreeding problem.

If everything goes well ( which is a big :optimistic: thanks to islam considering what i wrote as western flith so enforcing that without heavily kneecaping the ulema/mullahs is a nightmare to say the least) then in a few centuries we could see a mid east with a 20 or even a 10% inbreeding rate.

but it led a huge portion to have more moderate interpretations and opinions.
Shia'ism despite how insane it is does seem less dogmatic compared to sunnism ( mainly due to the fact that unlike sunnism there isn't that whole thing with being de facto forced to live your life according to a dead pedophile warlord as opposed to the shia being sperglords over Ali). Though even the iranian diaspora in the gulf ( powerlevel but unfortunately, im one of many iranians born in the UAE so as a result of my family being around arabs,they are pretty islamic and thus sorta view the western iranians as degenerates that dress like whores and are swine eaters. However because UAE is pretty liberal compared to most of its peers in the region. You can find many western style iranians living in dubai. so its not all bleak with the iranian diaspora in the gulf and recent events has made my mom cheer and say that the citizenry doesn't want religion anymore and they're sick of it being shoved down their throats).
 
Iranians abroad are not like that. They’re almost all actual refugees and they’d probably go back to Iran if it were safe.
If my ability to read farsi wasn't hilariously shit, i would fucking book it for iran once the regime is raped for good. There's really nowhere like iran sometimes doods:(. Atleast that means i no longer have to deal with seeing pajeets 24/7.

Fr though, seeing all the support for iranians on this site does give my autistic heart the feels. Even among the ardent sandnigger haters too (not that its their fault because frankly, Muslims fucking suck to be around with). We mightve hated each others guts 1500 years ago but we should let that remain in the annals of history. No more brother wars! ( though it does make for good historical autism bantz so maybe fuck you roman boyloving cunts!)
