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

I have no idea how someone as infamously impatient as Trump can continue to let these dipshits piss around and waste everyone's time like this (referring to both Iran and Pakistan).

Political kabuki and the stock market, its the only thing keeping Trump afloat right now in the US. Other metrics are failing for the US economy and if gas prices or inflation peak during weekdays, its more politically costly.

That post is probably gpt.

What brown wishcasting is this? New power my ass. How many Qatari dollars go to University of Chicago?

Qatar? More like Chinese here. Hell, maybe it's even outright Iranian money. But more likely it's the usual leftist cope & seethe about america akschually being weak and gay while it's enemies are secret superpowers.

Maybe he's really bored of the Iran thing and wants to get on with Cuba and Greenland?

All the plan trusters I see on YouTube ate convinced this whole altercation is really putting China's nuts in a vice. Its been my personal cope, too. If we suspend killing browns, the longer everything is still in the air the more slant eyes will kill themselves because their economy collapses. I can't know if it's true, but that doesn't matter in my heart.

compare russian losses in the first two months of Ukraine to US losses in these 2 months of Iran and you'll realise how retarded this comparison is.

It isn't about losses. Firstly, USA doesn't have a ground invasion. Second, this isn't about losses. To study an enemy you study heat blooms, transport routes to comprehend their supply lines, to see for vulnerabilities and how equipment is used. Want to stop a nuke in Germany? Hit their heavy water supply.

Only a chimp would think you'd learn from war only observing losses of men. Russia lost more than anyone. It was equipment and supplies that got them to stem the tide.

If you want to win a war against an enemy in this century, you might want to know how many drones or missiles it takes to overload an interceptor battery, you might want to know how many interceptor missiles a country can produce at any given moment and how long they take to get to the devices. You might want to know how many water drones coupled with air drones it takes to overwhelm a carrier force or single destroyer.

Future wars will be driven by the used of explosive laden land moving, air moving, space moving and water moving drones. Ask yourself, if a country like China can produce most of the worlds goods, and can pump out 35 Million cars alone in a single year, do you not think that they are thinking if they switch to a war machine the calculation becomes how many drones can we pump out in a year if they were needed to go to war if need be, and if so, how fast, how explosive and how they will be effective in the real unknown.

China is testing new equipment for submarine detection and would think with some certainty that Trump would no doubt move submarines into the region - good, so what they will do is observe and find patterns or observational deviances that allude to a change in properties that indicate the presence of an unknown and can be inferred to be a submarine, ergo, you develop a technical means of detection without having to lure the submarines yourself; you just have to know where they are likely to go first. Thanks to the removal of cargo ships from the blockade, observation now becomes uncluttered and the data is much clearer and not hidden.

You now also have extensive knowledge on the potential "supply lines" of oil in a future war and know exactly where to hit on land and in the ocean the routes to entirely shut down transportation of oil and LNG to every country on Earth if supply line positions change.

Wars like Russia's and the United States answer those missing pieces for our enemy. Before you play a chess player it behooves you to watch how they have played others to learn their tactics. China is learning.

It isn't about losses.

and yet you talk about armies being depleted

Remember how a Russian military is being depleted by Ukraine? And now perhaps Iran may turn into a depletion pit for the USA.

So are you shifting the goalpost, or just retarded?

 

[ghastlyretard]

I am unaware. Has Iran ever come out and explicitly taken credit/responsibility for directing or funding Hezbollah, the Houthis, etc.? Because why would anyone give a fuck about a different conflict?

 

[Lapsus of the bepsus]

no you see the correct course of action for america is to let its self proclaimed greatest enemy research nukes and terrorize everyone in the region because if we try to intervene then china might be watching, and we cant have that, thats the worst thing that could possibly happen to us. god forbid we bomb the shit out of them for a month, thats a clear sign of american weakness and a clear loss for trump and the american military, meanwhile china is still watching. scary shit

 

[ghastlyretard]

china is still watching

It's too late, we already lost to China. Alex Jones's dad told me about the human animal hybrids they have been creating, and I have it on good authority there are already over a billion shit flinging monkey-human hybrids occupying India. I've heard rumor of ape-human hybrids infiltrating the US and stabbing white women on buses too, but I live in an area where we'd put that of shit to bed so I can't speak to that one.

Hez and Lebanon are getting destroyed and theres nothing Iran can do to stop it.
Theres desperation reeking to include them in a Iran deal because its on of the few ways their can preserve their proxies in close to Israel. Understandably Israel knows that you should kill your enemy, and not listen to Europes moralfagging about winning a war because thats bad and mean to their voting block terrorists.

I am unaware. Has Iran ever come out and explicitly taken credit/responsibility for directing or funding Hezbollah, the Houthis, etc.? Because why would anyone give a fuck about a different conflict?

Both are Shia, the Houthis and Hez so they use that as an excuse.

Iran and it's leaders, as well as the leadership of their proxies, have regularly put out this image of the "axis of resistance" being unified as a singular entity even if they have independent leaderships. Even in the recent ceasefire negotiations when insisting Hezbollah be included in the agreement Ghailibaf was stating "t they operate as "one body" in both war and ceasefire negotiations."

Hezbollah leadership has gone even further and just said the quiet part out loud after being sanctioned by the US in 2016

"We do not have any business projects or investments via banks, so this action will not affect us," Nasrallah said. "We are open about the fact that Hezbollah's budget, its income, its expenses, everything it eats and drinks, its weapons and rockets, come from the Islamic Republic of Iran...As long as Iran has money, we will have money."

If we suspend killing browns, the longer everything is still in the air the more slant eyes will kill themselves because their economy collapses. I can't know if it's true, but that doesn't matter in my heart.

It's become clear that everything Trump has been doing foreign policy-wise is designed to contain China to prevent a war over Taiwan and to bring back American manufacturing.

The bigger issue is when they can no longer export their oil. Oil infrastructure cannot be shut down. If you shut it down it takes ages to turn it back on. So the better thing to do is to sell it as fast as possible and keep the process open. If the Iranians are unable to bring their oil to market then it backs up and if it backs up and fills the reserves then they have to shut down production. If they shut down production their entire economy (or what's left of it) shuts down too. Iran has no exports. Oil is the driving engine of the economy. This is why the blockade is so important.

The blockade has revealed that sanctions are an ineffective tool used by people too "civilized" to use military force (i.e. Europeans and wannabe-Europeans (a.ka. Democrats)). All the sanctions against Iran and Russia did was give China access to below market-priced resources to undercut Western manufacturers. The Iranian regime remained rich despite years of sanctions, but their economy is on the verge of collapse after only a few weeks of being blockaded.

Not sure if it's been posted yet but:

US Navy Secretary Phelan fired​

Surely a sign that things are going according to plan?

Even on Reddit they are saying that the guy pretty much did nothing and they are afraid that he is getting replaced by a Vietnamese Nazi, according to their posts.

Not that I take that as a gospel but it's a bit telling.

Pape is a fat has-been using ChatGPT to write his retarded tweets.

Pape is a rabid democrat and a professor who is mad the world doesn’t listen to him and buy his “just pay them off” counterterror strategy. he does not need money, he’s a tasteless dopey midwesterner.

The IRGC Navy has released footage of seizing the ‘MSC FRANCESCA’ and ‘EPAMINONDAS’ container ships in the Strait of Hormuz earlier today


The Iranian Parliament has prepared a draft law on new regulations for passage through the Strait of Hormuz

It includes the following:

– The payment of tolls in Rials prior to granting passage rights.

– Inclusion of the name ‘Persian Gulf’ in all contracts.

– Payment of compensation (in addition to tolls) by ships affiliated with nations that took part in the war against Iran.

Passage through the Strait is permanently PROHIBITED for:

1. Ships associated with Israel.

2. Countries that sanction Iran or act as accomplices in blocking Iranian assets.

3. Military vessels of hostile nations, including the United States.

"Overnight, U.S. forces carried out a maritime interdiction and right-of-visit boarding of the sanctioned stateless vessel M/T Majestic X transporting oil from Iran, in the Indian Ocean within the INDOPACOM area of responsibility.

We will continue global maritime enforcement to disrupt illicit networks and interdict vessels providing material support to Iran, wherever they operate.

International waters cannot be used as a shield by sanctioned actors. The Department of War will continue to deny illicit actors and their vessels freedom of maneuver in the maritime domain." - U.S. Department of War.

Dozens of U.S. refueling aircraft are still stationed at Israel's Ben Gurion Airport.


Senior officials in Iran are avoiding direct contact with Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei out of concern that Israel could track their movements and target him, NYT reports.

Despite being seriously wounded, officials say Khamenei remains mentally alert and engaged. He has undergone multiple surgeries on his leg and hand, is expected to receive a prosthetic, and suffered severe burns to his face that have made speaking difficult, with further procedures likely needed.

President Masoud Pezeshkian, who is also a heart surgeon, and the minister of health have personally been involved in Mojtaba's care.

Because of security concerns and concerns of appearing weak, he has not made any public appearances or recordings, and communication with him is handled through handwritten messages passed via trusted couriers.

The IRGC missile operators started painting the missiles in blue as well, in reaction to Iranian boys who wanted blue missiles (as opposed to pink missiles). No word on when they will paint a missile in tranny colors.

 

[Burnt Fish]

Surely a sign that things are going according to plan?

from the article you linked

"The sources, who spoke on condition of anonymity, said Phelan was dismissed in part because he was moving too slow to implement reforms to ⁠speed shipbuilding and because he had fallen out with key Pentagon leadership."

If this were a concern over the situation in Iran surely those sources would have mentioned it and not only specifically cited shipbuilding reforms right?

Or are we going to argue that a goldman sachs investor getting replaced with a 30 year navy veteran (Hung Cao) is a bad thing for a military position? I'd argue this is a good shift in the current context.

 

[ThisIsGonnaBeGood]

Wow, what a genius idea. Truly, no one other than Pakistan could have thought up such a proposal.
