Iran Crisis & the 2026 War between Iran and the United States, Gulf States, and Israel - Please focus on news and coverage, not argumentation.
Oh boy I can't wait to find out this was just Pakistan attempting jugaad (Islamic Content edition) diplomacy again and telling Trump the IRGC have decided to stop being retarded roaches while turning and telling the IRGC that the walls are closing in and Trump is going to give them the Obama deal again, please redeem habibi saar.
Pakistan needs to fucking glassed hard. Trump is a retard for listening to them, the reason it dropped is because there's less fear in the markets now that we know ships aren't going to be fired upon, but hey we're dealing with a literal death cult that wants to fucking nuke us so don't take anything up to chance. Trump should have let the Jeets nuke eachother the world would have been better off.
I'm starting to think Trump is trying to end this as soon as possible by chickening but has the paradox of trying to do so without looking weak to his supporters and the people at home, so tries to do slowly. The regime however, senses this, and is trying to humilhate him as much as possible while it happens to boost their "honor" and be seen among the international leftist useful idiots as the leadership that made the U.S and Trump specifically look pathetic, even if the costs are severe for the Iranian people.
That's a very interesting point I hadn't realized, it's blatantly obvious to everyone here that nobody cares about the MSM anymore but i guess it's not fully public knowledge. I wonder if that's also why a lot of europeans genuinely think we're on the brink of a revolution against a fascist dictatorship. The msm sure wants it to seem that way.
I remember there were reports of confusion within china's leadership because the CCP's strategy since like 2016 was to let civil unrest destroy us all and they figured it would happen any day now. If in china the news was calling for the death of the leader, and people were talking about killing each other on social media they know their civilization would fall apart in a matter of months because it's rigid. US culture is designed to bend and adjust to bullshit in a way I guess they can't comprehend. Half of the country seething about the president is tuesday here.
To the entire rest of the world, the chaotic American social/media landscape is proof that we’re near collapse because they literally cannot conceptualize the idea of a nation where speech and press aren’t under strict state control. To them, the fact that people and the press can loudly and openly criticize the government (as retarded as those criticisms may be sometimes) is evidence that the government has lost the reins of power, because that’s the lived reality of their own shithole countries.
America is a country that values individualism and self-determation. Our faggot journos don’t need to be oppressed by an authoritarian government - their continued spiral into irrelevancy is the work of their own hands alone.

THE GLORIOUS FIGHTERS OF THE UMMAH AND THE AYATOLLAH! everyone. no wonder female fighters being paraded around is considered a massively bad omen lol.
Let's give them the benefit of the doubt and say it WAS a false flag.
Wouldn't the point of a false flag be retaliatory action in framing it as a violation of the ceasefire and turning it back into a hot war? Did we get cold feet? Perhaps this false flag was a calculated attack on their IZZAT, of greater value to the superpowered Iranians than their lives or logic.
After this move Trump looks really weak and retarded.
Iran was able to stall and buy time with Pakistan throughout April, Trump announces Project Freedom, the Iranians can't fire back or do anything, so they just restart the same stalling tactics, again. Tempt Trump with a 'deal' and he will spend weeks wasting time on it.
I get the fear of losses, but this is it. This is the showdown we have been preparing for decades.

I agree with @Onepumpplumpchump and that OSInt account that he seems bizarrely fixated on keeping things as quiet as possible for his Xi meeting.
I don't know what concessions he thinks he's gonna get out of it by keeping things at a low simmer that he wouldn't get by just getting this shit over with, but that's just me.
How? Our blockade is still on, and it’s not like they’re gaining any oil capacity or China’s getting any more imports. I think it’s worth waiting a couple days for more information before declaring this a success or a failure, especially, and I know I sound like a broken record, it’s temporary. Whatever Pakistan’s trying to set up could fall through tomorrow and it could be back on. Neither you, or me, or any of the Twitter OSINT accounts know what’s going on.

Faggoty half measures due to being a pussy about geopolitics (in this case, winding down Project Freedom, not finally using the USS Boxer et al.) & delusional optimism (all the babbling about having already done regime change, now insisting that the Iranians are 1000% done but also backing down from Project Freedom days after announcing it and after they not only are still attacking ships that try to cross but also literally just sperged at the UAE) were the keys to losing Vietnam. The former meant constantly giving North Vietnam breathing room because to do anything that could really buckbreak them (like sending ground troops north of the 17th parallel) was supposed to cause WW3 or wouldn't have enough popular support for it at home or whatever, and the latter was what made Tet such a 'moral' victory for the commies by letting them prove that in fact Lol BJ, Westmoreland, etc. had underestimated them & were either lying/clueless about the situation on the ground, thereby nuking public support for the war at home in spite of them getting raped mostly to death on the battlefield.
Tl;dr stop being a fag and just tell the Pakis to eat shit, kill Vahidi & take the Persian Gulf islands already, Donarudo-kun. Seems you clearly aren't going to convince anyone the Strait is open, the Iranian navy is truly dead and that they can move their ships out of the Gulf in significant numbers until there's an American flag waving over Qeshm, Larak, etc. and what little is left of Vahidi's corpse is being lowered into the ground, so make it happen. I also don't understand what if any leverage is to be gained with China at that summit next week(?) from holding back, if anything I would think that raping Iran to death before the meeting would be more likely to put Xi in a mood to make concessions.
I wish to be proven wrong, but it fitting with a desire to chicken out, he is desperately tring to find the easy way out and falling for false promises, by Pakistani diplomats, an outcome deliberately calculated considering the ties between them and the regime for maximum "humilhation"
To play the devil's advocate, it's an open secret that UAE for the longest time has been a hub of money laundering. They weren't laundering money from JUST islamic terror organizations. They were laundering money from criminal organizations, people wanting to dodge taxes in the west and etc. The UAE wasn't doing this because they wanted a global caliphate. They did this because they wanted to further their own pockets and use said organizations involvement as blackmail. Though to add, there is a limit as to how much the UAE is willing to look the other way when it comes to money laundering and Iran's proxies+hezbollah were a big nono. Hell there was several instances in which the government caught several business owners who were laundering money for hezbollah and were arrested. Not to mention the wave of deportations of iranians that happened back in 2014-2015.
UAE deals with almost exclusively Islamic and Islamic-related organizations due to their banking system being "Halal". I would do an effort post on precisely how fucked up 'islamic banking' is but I don't have a solid grasp on the totality of how fucked up it is, just how fucked up it is in specific cases re: loans and particularly mortgages.
They also have a large base of Islamic International Money Movers i forget the name of.
But to your point, yes. Some of the business is dealing with not Islamic terrorists but Arab Organized Crime, and also moving money for those who do business with Islamic terrorists and Arab Organized Crime.
But Cyprus is still #1 in laundering and hiding illicit money.
The "moderate" guy who is allegedly screaming at the IRGC every other day now agrees that America is a big bully whose demands are impossible to meet.
Those demands being "You can't have a nuke, and you can't use the Strait as a toll booth." Wyświetl załącznik 8961605 Source | Archive
"I will not confirm that the US-alligned Space Bear forces left their moon base 3 days and will commence an orbital drop onto Iran in the coming hours. But I will also not deny it."
Iranian Air Defense systems are operating over the city of Marivan, Kurdistan Province of Iran. Cool your jets, it's either a weapons test or some 2ndLt got scared.
Reminds me of when all the former Biden apparatchiks got in Zelenskis ear after Trump got reelected and assured him that Trump was king TACO and he just had to stand his ground and be firm and not yield an inch and Trump would give him what he wanted. Then we ended up with the complete shitshow during their meeting and he had to go back to the drawing board to figure out how to deal with Trump because it turns out listening to the people Trump defeated twice giving you reddit-coded advice on how to theoretically beat him is not the best idea.
Zelensky is well known to be difficult to deal with, several Euro diplomats have been quoted complaining about him being a bullheaded son of bitch. He gets invited to speak at NATO and uses his speech to tell them they aren't doing enough.
So it was wild watching him run into Trump. The fact that he'd been breifed by Biden's team is news to me but would track with why the fuck he ever got it in his head he could treatTrump like he was a eurocuck PM.
I am going to tl;dr this as hard as I can.
Internal combustion engines are incredibly inefficient, especially compared to central power generation. If you have a population that moves in ranges permitted by electric cars, it costs significantly less energy to have everyone in electric cars.
City traffic, there is absolutely no comparison on efficiency.
Of course this neglects the minute you have people exceeding electric ranges, the whole system collapses. This is why electrics cannot completely supplant gasoline vehicles. there are additional other issues, like hazardous waste in crashes, but I'm talking solely energy efficiency.
The other issue, especially for Turdworld countries, is making sure you an electric grid robust enough to provide charging for all those shiny new electric vehicles.
that is, moving to electrics even if you are shifting the generation to other imported fuels, helps alleviate the issue if the grid is able to actually handle the extra load. I want to highlight and emphasize that last part, especially with the lol that is the California power grid and how hard they push electric cars when they can't even keep the lights on, nor stop from burning down half the state.

The government news agency ISNA has reported that the price of the dollar in the open market today has been recorded at 181,100 tomans. This is considered the highest recorded price of the dollar, and Iran's national currency has recorded its lowest value in history. The dollar has grown by 120 percent over ten months and has more than doubled. That's 1.8 million rials to one American Dollar. This is what winning looks like, ZOG slaves!
I want to say when I was there, the "unofficial" rate on the ground was something like 1M Rials to 1USD. or 1EUR. I do not recall.
For something interesting, though, different US currency has different values. There are two types. "White money" and "green money" Older US bills ("green money") have more value at the 'unofficial' rate than the newer ones.
Do I remember the difference in value? Nope. But it's interesting to think about.
I agree with @Onepumpplumpchump and that OSInt account that he seems bizarrely fixated on keeping things as quiet as possible for his Xi meeting.
I don't know what concessions he thinks he's gonna get out of it by keeping things at a low simmer that he wouldn't get by just getting this shit over with, but that's just me.
Trump also doesn't want to hit Iran while their FM is in Beijing:
Iran’s Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi has arrived in Beijing, China, for talks with his Chinese counterpart.

Ive read that Russian currency exchanges will only accept CRISP, old or new $100 bills, I can't recall which but they had be basically starched and ironed for the exchange to accept them. Maybe it has to do with tracking or something. Idk, but I just remember they were really anal about which bills they would accept.
Imagine giving a shit about what Abbas Aragachi is doing in China. I sincerely hope Trump isn't trying to rope China into helping him open the Strait, or be involved in the peace plan.
