@Meshal1243575 @EthanLevins2 Iran will starve without access to the straits. Iran relies for vast majority of its essential food imports (14 million tonnes of grain, and significant soybean) passing through the straits.

The Strait of Hormuz is an international chokepoint controlled by the US Navy — closing it would choke Iran far harder than it harms the world. The Houthis are nothing but weak Iranian proxies who haven’t closed anything since 2015. Trump is applying brilliant strategic pressure that redraws the global energy balance, while pessimists keep recycling failed scenarios from the history of losers.

Trump wants to close the Strait of Hormuz? Houthis will close the Gulf of Aden. The global economy is about to enter depression levels…

@Cyandeceres Wow, antisemitism has really taken hold of Spain. Maybe fascism didn't die out there.

En España quemamos muñecos. En Israel quemáis a niños en sus tiendas de campaña. Por eso España es un país civilizado y el ente sionista no lo es.

@RAF_Luton An A380 on a refuelling run? I don't think so.

@siaxares The time is now. Seize the opportunity and help overthrow this horrible, murderous regime.

Speaking as someone inside Iran who stayed connected through Starlink during the total blackout, I can sincerely affirm the real mood across the country right now: We are relieved the ceasefire negotiations collapsed. The spirit inside Iran and the genuine desires of the people stand totally against any truce or bargaining with this brutal regime — particularly figures like Ghalibaf, a murdering psychopath who has countless Iranian blood on his hands. Every form of engagement or compromise with the Islamic Republic is strongly opposed by ordinary Iranians. We are determined to complete the uprising we launched in January. Any support the international community — above all the United States — can offer is deeply appreciated. For nearly five decades we have suffered relentless torture, sexual violence, executions, degradation, and sorrow at the hands of this tyranny. The outside world has no real grasp of the extent of our pain. The Iranian public feels zero concern for Hezbollah, yet the regime is ready to endanger the entire nation for them. They have always prioritized their terrorist proxies over the well-being of their own citizens. We exhausted every peaceful option: huge street demonstrations, open resistance, attempts at gradual reform, dialogue — you name it. None succeeded. The regime’s consistent reply has been gunfire, nooses, and fresh waves of fear. With the talks now broken down, I’m writing this from inside Iran with mixed emotions of anxiety, hope and grief. Whatever unfolds from here, most Iranians will feel a sense of release. No price is too steep to get rid of this evil regime and the price of letting this nightmare drag on is far greater, and for many of us, even dying feels better than one more day under these monsters. This reflects the authentic voice of the majority of Iranians — a people who frequently lack internet access, global reach, or any platform to speak. When we lose internet access, the Iranian diaspora becomes our voice abroad. While the ceasefire talks dragged on, they took to the streets in protest, clearly showing the world that we reject any negotiation with this regime and want Crown Prince Reza Pahlavi to represent the Iranian people — because no one inside this regime ever can. As I have said before, the world will soon see why we declare: Anything for freedom. Anything to destroy this evil. #IranRevolution2026‌ #KingRezaPahlavi‌

Deport, deport, deport

@BenjaminPDixon @AntonioCunha79 Pure deflection....because you and I know that Hamas murdered thousands. Not self-defense, just Islam doing what Islam does.

@markbole6 @AntonioCunha79 You mean the Hamas funded by Benjamin Netanyahu's funneling of funds? The same October 7th Egyptian intelligence warned Netanyahu of in advance?

Palestine has the right to exist.

@BenjaminPDixon @AntonioCunha79 Was Hamas's attack on Oct 7th part of this human right?

@AntonioCunha79 Self defense is a human right

@BenjaminPDixon @JonSutz No, I blame Islamic colonists that violently seized control of the Levant and Norther Africa.

@JonSutz Blame the romans

@Stultiloquence @PortfolioRev @defense_civil25 Drafted?? Why, because the casualties are so high?

@PortfolioRev @defense_civil25 Exactly 100% Americans best prepare to be DRAFTED. 🤣

🚨Update: Iran just declared there will be NO MORE Talks! Negotiations are over!

@PortfolioRev @defense_civil25 It's a great look for America. They went to Pakistan looking for a deal. Iran thought they were dealing with people like Biden. Time is not on Iran's side as USA pounds their industrial base.

@defense_civil25 Not a good look for America, begging them so they can turn around and give us the finger (this is bad negotiations and weak tactics) This war just escalated 3x and Trumps legacy is slipping with it

@comuflauta Institutional neglect is not the problem. Lacking of discipline and no fathers are the problem.

En Estados Unidos se están enfrentando a un problema que dice mucho de su sistema. Miles de jóvenes, especialmente de barrios pobres, se están organizando en masa para “invadir” espacios públicos de la capital en lo que las autoridades llaman “teen takeovers”, como si reunirse en la calle fuera un delito. Y para el capitalismo americano, básicamente lo es. Washington D.C. vive bajo un toque de queda juvenil constante: actualmente es ilegal que grupos de más de 8 menores se reúnan en determinadas zonas a partir de las 8 de la tarde. ¿El origen del problema? Décadas de abandono institucional, privatización del espacio público y ausencia de ocio asequible en los barrios más pobres de la ciudad. El capitalismo ha construido estadios de béisbol de 900 millones de dólares en Navy Yard, pero no ha sido capaz de darle a sus jóvenes un parque donde estar sin que los detengan. ¿Y cuál es la respuesta de esos jóvenes? Ir en masa, durante un corto periodo de tiempo, a generar disturbios en las zonas más ricas de la ciudad.

If this is true, NYC has elected a anti-white racist.

@Akrites45 @DI313_ overrated tech? 😂😂 I'm sure the new mullah doesn't think so.

@DI313_ It didn’t work very well when they attempted the rescue of the downed F-15 airman…in fact 2 C-130s were downed during that operation…overrated tech.

🇮🇷 Iran is reported to have acquired the AN/AAQ-24 LAIRCM system, which is designed to protect large aircraft such as the C-130 from heat-seeking missiles. The spherical dome seen on aircraft like the MC-130J houses the LAIRCM turret. It detects incoming missiles and uses a laser to disrupt their seeker heads. The system is deployed on platforms including MC-130J, C-130, C-17, and CV-22.

@UnityInSA @fan_hongda USA has an obligation to stop Islamic terrorists and their sponsors from getting nuclear weapons. It should be the job of the UN, but they failed.

I don't even understand why the USA must dictate to Iran at all. If the USA is so worried about nuclear arms, why don't they call up a meeting with all 9 countries that have nuclear weapons and discuss with ALL 9 countries what should happen? The USA has not right to unilaterally dictate to any sovereign country in the world.

Even now I still don't understand why, with so many excellent diplomats in the #UnitedStates, these two businessmen with no diplomatic experience were sent to negotiate with #Iran.

@bullrungenius @mr_mayank "Capacity" might be the key here. They can pump oil in theory, but not necessarily ship it.

@mr_mayank Returning to 80% capacity under a naval blockade is mathematically impossible for any economy.

MASSIVE : 🇮🇷 Iran sent another shockwave to Trump & Netanyahu 🇺🇸 TRUMP — “We have completely destroyed Iran’s energy infrastructure” 🇮🇷 IRAN — All oil facilities to return to 80% capacity in 1-2 months, operations already resumed 🔥 This is a 5000 year old civilization that Trump is dealing with and he really thought he could shut them down with just a few bombs? 😄 No matter where you are from, you gotta respect this unreal COURAGE 🫡

@mr_mayank Trump didn't say the USA destroyed Iran’s energy infrastructure.

@turkishbilla @azizkavish Islamicists love Spain, that is true.

@azizkavish The World Thanks Spain for Saying No to War

At 2 pm 🇺🇸 Trump - I will cut off all trade and cooperation with Spain because of its refusal to support Israel. After 2 hours 😂 At 4 pm - 🇪🇦 Spanish Prime Minister arrived in China with a clear message to Trump, there is an alternative.
