@aj_geo_analysis Yeah until the worlds strongest military decides to go scorched earth campaign on you, don’t think they have a choice, this is not longer a negotiation, it’s extending an olive branch

@Makstyle No country would be willing to be ‘flexible’ when they adopt a security policy as critical national security policy or a critical infrastructure for their survival. This is what sovereignty is about.

💡What do #pistachios and #oil have in common? Both tell the same story about #Iran and #USA. 🧵 1/ The entire American pistachio industry was born from a single Iranian seed. When the Islamic Revolution came in 1979 and sanctions followed, Iran — the world’s pistachio producer for thousands of years — lost access to American markets overnight. California stepped in. By 2008, the USA had overtaken Iran as the world’s largest pistachio grower. Today the US produces 65% of global output. America built a billion-dollar industry on the back of Iranian sanctions — from a seed it borrowed from Tehran. 2/ Now watch the same script play out with oil. In March 2026, the US reached record LNG export levels — 64% of which went directly to Europe — precisely as #Iran and now American #StraitofHormuz blockade cut off Qatari LNG and Gulf crude to the continent. Trump is pairing the blockade with an explicit sales pitch — telling nations squeezed by the strait to buy American oil instead. The blockade is not just #military strategy. It is market capture. 3/ The pattern is not a coincidence. It is a doctrine. Sanction #Iran → disrupt its commodity exports → American producers fill the vacuum → Iran’s market share permanently contracts → the US economy benefits structurally long after the conflict ends. They did it with pistachios over 40 years. They are doing it with oil and #LNG in real time. 4/ The most honest line ever spoken about this came from a California pistachio farmer: “The US pistachio industry is generally very aware that its success has been due to sanctions against Iran.” Replace “pistachio” with “energy.” Replace “California farmer” with “Texas oil executive.” Same sentence. Different century. Identical logic. 5/ #Iran built the pistachio from a seed. #America borrowed the seed, sanctioned the farmer, and took the market. Iran built one of the world’s great oil reserves. America is now blockading the shipping lane and offering itself as the alternative supplier. What do pistachios and oil have in common? They are both proof that this conflict was never only about weapons. It was always about who controls what the world eats — and what the world runs on. #Hormuz #EnergyWar #Geopolitics #Commodities #IranWar #OilMarket #LNG #TradeWar

@Behzaddeklameh lol who’s side is she on? Didn’t she give an oath

یاسمین انصاری، عضو دموکرات کنگره، از استفاده پیت هگست از اصطلاح «خلیج عربی» انتقاد کرد و تأکید کرد: «خلیج‌فارس قرن‌هاست با همین نام شناخته می‌شود و ترامپ و هگست نمی‌توانند آن را تغییر دهند.» #Iran #IranIsraelWar #IranWar

@SudRadio @NathalieLoiseau I think we can find more reliable soldiers than the French that historically tuck tail and run, in all likelihood they have already surrendered to the enemy preemptively

#Iran #IranWar‌ We tried negotiating with them, we tried bombing them, next up we try an embargo before going back to bombing! How hardheaded can these retards be? If the world’s strongest military says you can’t have nuclear weapons, means you can’t have nuclear weapons, SMH

@birdyaccount1 lol had Israelis not had a strong military, Hamas would’ve gutted every Jew there, putting the great holocaust of WWII to shame. Some people only understand when you answer violence with violence!

Si l'on ajoute le nombre des victimes de Gaza, de Cisjordanie et du Liban, Israël aura exécuté plus de 85 000 personnes en 2024-2025... C'est 50 années d'exécutions cumulées en #ArabieSaoudite et en #Iran

@MehrabanAl53795 You mean from the billions that were released by Obama? Let’s see how many drones does that pay for?

They thought #sanctions would break Iranian. Instead, #Iran built hypersonic missiles and advanced drones from nothing. Threats don’t scare Iranians. They fuel Them. You can’t sanction a nation that grows stronger under pressure. #IranWar‌ #ısraelTerroristState #StraitofHormuz

@MajGenCyberCmd @judyannaggie @JimmyJoeYam @ZeroDarkKitty @P2Neus @MichaelJFell @RealTreyDurant A lot of broke Lebanese and Iranians(courtesy of their retarded governments) that will build these pipelines for $5 a day

Should've been done already years ago. #SaudiArabia and the #UAE are currently building pipelines to take control away from #iran. FYI REPOST @judyannaggie @JimmyJoeYam @zeroDarkKitty @P2Neus @MichaelJFell @RealTreyDurant

#Iran why allow a defeated nation have any say in negotiations? Total capitulation is the only option, should have hit the energy infrastructure, at least in Tehran, once the electricity, food and fresh water stops running, the people will turn on the regime themselves

#iran #IranWar‌ US Military only has roughly 2,200 fighter jets, and total of 13,000~ Military aircraft. After over a month of non stop bombardment if it’s military assets, Iran dam near declaring victory after downing 1 U.S. jets 🤡 Irans Military degraded by at least 90% 😬

@The_BeckhamNY Try taking your hijab off in Iran, and you’ll have your answer

1) Yes, Absolutely. 2) No. Not even close

@WHLeavitt But would they leave? U.S. is one of the few countries where they can act like this, burning the nations flag while plundering its resources, and they all start with welfare, funded by the tax payers if anyone forgot. Nothing wrong with welfare, but burning US flag is

Who else agrees that Islamists who won’t assimilate, chant “death to America,” or burn our flag should be deported immediately? A. Hell yes B. No

@Matt_Pinner Truth

What is it according to you?

@ShaykhSulaiman Well said, Arabs of the Gulf nations are obviously the brains of the Muslim world.

JUST IN: SAUDI FOREIGN MINISTER PRINCE FAISAL BIN FARHAN AL SAUD SLAMS IRAN: "I do not understand how they claim to defend Islamic causes while attacking Islamic countries. They are not attacking just one nation...Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, Kuwait, Qatar, the UAE, Oman, Lebanon, Jordan, Iraq, Türkiye...all are Islamic countries, and all have been targeted. Even before this war, what was Iran’s contribution to the Islamic world? They supported the Houthi militia in Yemen. They supported militias in Iraq...and now they are attacking Iraqi territory. They have interfered in Lebanon through Hezbollah, not only hijacking political decision-making but also carrying out destabilizing actions across the region, including in Saudi Arabia. One of the clearest examples is Iran and Hezbollah’s role in Syria. So where is this so-called support for the Muslim world when such actions are taking place? How can they claim to support Islamic causes while backing regimes that oppress their own people, assassinating political figures in Lebanon, and empowering militias that hinder development in Iraq? I do not see any real support for Islamic causes. These are merely slogans used as cover. In reality, these tools are used to serve Iranian interests..not the principles they claim to defend."

@WHLeavitt What’s ironic is extremism and terrorism spanning from these people religious beliefs is the reason for the security check in the first place, that’s rich coming from them trying to invoke their religious beliefs

Dems are outraged after a viral video surfaced showing Muslim women being required to uncover their faces before boarding a flight in the United States. Do you support banning burqas in the U.S.? A. Hell yes B. No

@MarioNawfal So why cant we just keep bombing then non stop for several years and embargo them and choke with hard tariff pressure on their trade partners? Beware of a starving citizen, even the most loyal will turn on their own regime with time

This is why Trump should end this war as soon as possible

@MbarkCherguia Deport obviously, maybe he can try that in the rice line of African UN World food program

Giant bodybuilder blocking the whole escalator like it's his gym set 😅 What would you do in this situation?

@anisem001 what, all out war? Iran's military is decimated, IDF estimating 2 weeks until just about every launcher is destroyed. Then IRCG will turn ON the internet and play victim, kind of like they taught Hamas to do. Once Basij is severely compromised, regime will fall, tik tok....

🚨 Iran ⚡️ Opinion #Iran #Israel The Catastrophe of the End The assassination of Ali Larijani is not a fleeting event... It's a strike at the heart of Iran's state intelligence.. This man was not an ordinary official... He was the mind that balanced between war and negotiation... between escalation and survival What does his assassination mean? The collapse of the last bridge to negotiation Handing over full decision-making to the military (IRGC) Iran's shift from “state calculations" to the logic of revenge Simply put: The door to politics has been shut... and the door to all-out war has been opened The most dangerous part: Israel didn't target a person... but the very key to managing the nuclear file itself And here the equation changes: There's no one left to delay the strike There's no one left to control the stockpile There's no one left to prevent targeting sensitive facilities The result: The region is truly entering the moment of striking the reactors Strategically: What happened is a clear declaration that: The war won't stop... it will only drag on and intensify Because when you kill (the man who could have signed)... You're choosing: An endless war instead of a painful agreement The terrifying conclusion: Israel didn't weaken Iran... It freed it from the constraints of reason... and unleashed its most dangerous version And what's coming isn't a new round... But a far more dangerous phase... where decisions are in the hands of those who don't negotiate... but seek revenge

@GoldenAgeUnfold Off the scale, 10 doesn’t cut it

Be honest:

@signalandshift @SpencerHakimian One caveat, they’re not fully resorting to that as it will without a doubt involve all the Gulf nations to attack Iran as they almost solely rely on the strait for export. If they were to lay a minefield, that’s the same as a full declaration of war on the Gulf

The Strait isn’t really “10 miles wide” The whole waterway (Strait of Hormuz) is about 21 miles wide, but the actual shipping lanes are tiny: One lane going in: ~2 miles wide One lane going out: ~2 miles wide Small buffer zone in the middle So in reality, all giant oil tankers must pass through a corridor only a few miles wide. Think of it like: A 6-lane highway squeezed into one narrow bridge. Iran has a massive geographic advantage Iran sits right next to the strait. That means it can attack from: - the coastline - islands - mountains - small boats - hidden missile trucks The shipping lanes are within range of missiles and drones fired from land. So the U.S. Navy is basically sailing into: Iran’s backyard shooting range. You don’t need to sink everything To “close” the strait, Iran only needs to do one of these things: - Hit one tanker - Lay a few sea mines - Damage a ship so it blocks the lane - Create enough risk that shipping companies refuse to go Even a single sunk ship could physically block the narrow route. And even without sinking anything, insurance companies will stop covering ships if the risk gets high. Once that happens, shipping stops anyway So closure doesn’t mean: “Nobody can pass.” It means: “Nobody wants to pass.” Mines are a nightmare Sea mines are cheap but extremely disruptive. One small boat could drop mines overnight. Finding and removing them takes weeks or months because every square mile has to be searched slowly with special ships. So: Mines cost thousands Clearing them costs millions Drone and missile swarms Modern warfare changed the math. Iran has: - thousands of drones - anti-ship missiles - fast attack boats Even if U.S. ships shoot down 90–95%, only one hit is needed to sink a tanker. Iran reportedly can produce thousands of drones per month, making swarm attacks possible. This is called “asymmetric warfare.” Cheap weapons vs expensive targets. The U.S. could reopen it ...but only with escalation The U.S. Navy could eventually force it open, but it might require: - escorting every tanker - destroying missile sites - bombing coastal bases - possibly invading parts of Iran Experts say naval power alone may not be enough without neutralizing threats on land. That risk a full regional war actually. Simple analogy Imagine: The U.S. Navy = a powerful police force Iran = someone throwing nails on a narrow road The police are stronger. But until the nails are cleared, nobody can drive on that road. Bottom line ... Iran cannot defeat the U.S. Navy. But yes with mines, drones, missiles, and geography, it can temporarily make the strait unusable, which is all it needs.

I have a serious question. Explain it to me like I’m 5. The U.S. Navy isn’t able to eliminate Iran’s ability to complete blockade a 10 mile wide strait? You’re telling me that anybody with access to a couple hundred unmanned drones and a few dozen sea mines can outmatch the entire US Navy?
