One thing that might indicate Iran is in a worse position than they say is turning the internet back on. Well, why do that? (other than to let news stories leak in about how this is damaging the west)

Well, one reason might be to dump crypto

See part of the powerplants threat has nothing to do with paralyzing them, generators and shit exist also, but iran uses a lot of that electricity mining bitcoin. And they have (had?) a lot of it. Well a few days after the internet went back on Bitcoin and other cryptos started to plummet.

That's a lot of cash on hand, so that's not great for starving them out BUT, IF I'm right (and I'm probably not, lol) and they're selling so much it's changing market values significantly, that means it's not a sell off it's like almost all of it, or a lot.

Could be other reasons though and you all know more about crypto than I do.
 
Currently, the tankies are angry at Persepolis, a movie based off of an autobiographical comic by Marjane Satrapi, an Iranian woman who lived through the Iranian Revolution. France's Channel 4 announced that they would be doing a special showing of Persepolis, which incited outrage from the fringe left:
Marjane Satrapi has died, known for her animated film “Persepolis” recounting her experience as an Iranian woman living in the regime and as a foreigner in the west.
Cause of death? Sadness, at least according to her close friends.
Article
Pro-Palestine tankies and their Muslim masters are going through a second round of chimpouts over Persepolis. RIP Marjane Satrapi and thank you for being so powerful that you were able to cause two of the most retarded groups on planet Earth to melt down even in death.

When you mourn your dead husband that you were married to for over 30 years, but this guy who wants to become the köçek of a manly Hamas fighter says you can't do that because he was a white Swede:

After Mickey Inouye (a Japanese-American Communist activist living in Hawaii – or should I say, a Japanese colonialist settler living on stolen Hawai'ian land who needs to go back to Japan. ニッポニーズ・ピッグ・ゴー・ホーム) temporarily locked down his account like any brave revolutionary would, he came back to post about how she's literally Iranian Zionist Hitler because she had Israeli friends and said that a democratic Iran means a more feeble Hamas (correct, because they're leeching off mullah welfare like their compatriots are leeching off welfare in Western countries and a democratic government would cut their benefits).

Despite demanding that others use their platform to advocate for Arab Wakanda and post on Xitter about it all day long like he does, Mickey himself does not appear to care about other people's favorite foreign conflicts. For example, he doesn't appear to care about Nagorno-Karabach. Why is that? Is Mickey a genocidal maniac who hates Armenians and supports Azerbaijan (an Israeli ally) ethnically cleansing the area of Armenians?

I got curious about this morally grandstanding faggot so I looked him up. He was interviewed for the University of Hawaiʻi Press for reasons unknown in 2020 (available through Sci-hub). Surprise, he used to be a shitlib who had no opinions of his own for most of his life but then Trump won the election and now he's a freethinker.

Iranian Zionist Hitler was so evil and powerful that she triggered the Iran war with her comic books.

Where's the lie? Tankies and their Muslim masters were either outright ignoring or mocking the Iran protests until the bombs started dropping and their second favorite Muslim pedophile Khamenei (the favorite one being Muhammad) got ACK'd.

@kennywithout
In short, Persepolis was a significant tool of Islamophobic propaganda.
You'd have to be in denial, Islamophobic, or both not to realize it.
@OINZOBOS
Spending her life trying to break free from patriarchal oppression only to die right after her old scumbag, lol. So taking off your veil doesn't make you any happier, huh? Glad to have contributed to the critique of her ugly, Islamophobic comic before she died.
@Hekapute_
October 7 for goys and French teachers

you can complain as much as you want, I'm not going to cry over the death of a person who contributed to hatred of Islam
@krlsefni55
A day of mourning for the French teachers who think they are saving young girls from religion.
@figue3barbarie
Thanks to her, the West felt the right to throw Tomahawks at a girls' school in Minab: 200 girls torn to pieces.
All this to die alone and depressed, at 56, alone.
Filthy allegory of Western emancipation which is paid for by throwing its own people under the bus.

One thing that might indicate Iran is in a worse position than they say
It's been obvious from how desperately they are trying to provoke Trump with endless shit talking and I'm not touching you games. They want him to affect the ceasefire so bad. Because then they can try to get the GCC to shit themselves again, and twist Trump's arm in response, again, like the GCC did to get the ceasefire in the first place. Iran can't make the GCC shit themselves again without larger, more frequent missile and drone attacks than they've been doing for the last two weeks. Iran wants Trump to be one to affect the ceasefire. And so far he's refused, and they're getting extremely frustrated about it. Because I'm still booze cruisin with the Golden Blockade and Israel is still bitchslapping Hezbollah and slowly boiling Hamas. And they can't change that without Trump agreeing. And he won't agree unless they sign his deal. And they won't sign his deal. They have nowhere to go to change the calculus with the ceasefire being unaffected. And if they affect it themselves first, the GCC will be pissed off enough they won't shit themselves immediately and will go along with Trump and Netanyajoo bitchslapping Iran again for X amount of time

Plus this is Iran's only chance. The GCC has set its course, within 12-24 months there will be a bunch of new pipelines heading to expanded port facilities on the Mediterranean, Red, and Arabian Seas. The strategic importance of Homoz Strait will be greatly reduced. They'll still have no choice but to export from Kharg through the Strait. Most of those tankers that used to go to the Gulf ports will go to Turkey, and Syria, and Israel, and Yanbu, and Fujairah. This works for crude and refined, and stuff like solidified sulfur that can be transported by truck or rail, but not for LNG. They'll probably end up building new LNG facilities on the Red and Arabian sea coasts too, but that will take longer. Homoz is the only leverage Iran has, and now that it's been used, everyone has decided they will never get to use it again. Or never get to use it and have it mean something again

And with the new BLS report, Trump feels less pressure to do anything. May jobs beat expectations by a lot, the revisions to March and April were positive, wage growth and wages in general are still beating inflation, the job growth isn't concentrated in a small number of sectors. The American economy now looks like it is getting stronker instead of weaker. MadStan is in shambles. Trump has no reason to rush

tldr Iran has no way to get a better deal with the ceasefire being unaffected, and if they don't get a deal now, they never will

Apparently, "You're not allowed to toll the Strait, and you're not allowed to have nukes" is too vague for these geniuses. Maybe if we included a line about "And we'll pay you tens of billions of dollars without you having to give us anything in return," they'd understand it.

its worth mentioning not one member of the press in this country has been shown what we are asking of Iran.
I'm seriously starting to wonder if someone in the admin is intentionally feeding Trump false information to keep him occupied. He didn't even seem to be aware of Israel's plans to strike Beirut until that NBC interviewer tipped him off.
We haven't gotten solid data on who exactly he's supposedly negotiating with for weeks. The PM and FM, who used to be the go-tos, have either gone silent or stuck to posting generic propaganda slop on Twitter.
I know Iranian media isn't to be trusted by its very nature, but this is just getting silly.
look who he hires into the positions he hands out; woefully unqualified. If you want proper info; hire qualified people; not your buddies with pockets.

I disagree. The US economy is soaring because of the AI bubble. If that pops, Trump is screwed. This can be rectified by boosting other industries so the correction isn't as severe as a crash, but the US economy is on more shakey ground that Im comfortable with. The jobs report is fueled by dying boomers, healthcare and hospitality jobs paying less than $60k, so while on paper that looks good, long term its a worrying sign. Consumer sentiment is still low. 90% of recent jobs go to foreigners. Now thats changing, but Trump needs to nuke the visa programs and punish offshoring of workers to India if he wants voter sentiment to improve.

I should add that these AI companies seeking IPOs will get obliterated if things go south. Its a large gamble that could get messy quickly if any of them fall behind, which is looking more likely by the day.
 
You are brown and I'm tired of not saying it
The US economy is soaring because of the AI bubble.
AI sector has lost 90,000 jobs this year. In May 70,000 leisure and hospitality jobs led the growth. Leisure and hospitality add jobs when people have money to spend. The experts try to obscure this by talking about Memorial Day being earlier distorting the numbers, but experts are retards. That is irrelevant to the basic fact that it doesn't matter whether the jobs are officially added in May or June, what matters is whether they are added or not. The reason AI is driving the economy is AI enterprises are spending on real goods and capital improvements and cutting out jeet employees. ie solid business decisions

Been hearing this for a decade
Consumer sentiment is still low.
Consumer sentiment is the brownest economic indicator ever devised
90% of recent jobs go to foreigners.
Since 2020. It was 100% until 2025

As always, the ceasefire is intact.

You're talking to someone who is mystified by IR cameras.
 

A group calling itself the Bahraini resistance set fire to a police station of the Al-Khalifa regime in Manama. Looks like Iran is starting to fuck around in Bahrain.

Nothing else about the supposed ceasefire airstrikes.
