@Tom530934028641 @LiuFeng_Dao @CryptoDailyNot I guess you could start a war and take it back... oh, wait....

@LiuFeng_Dao @CryptoDailyNot Iran has no legal right to block Hormuz, let alone Red Sea. Unless you suggest force is enough to justify? Then we’re all fucked and America will control it all

THE LAST 24 HOURS OF THE IRAN WAR CHANGED EVERYTHING. HERE IS THE TIMELINE. This is not what you're being told. 24 hours ago, Hegseth stood in the White House Cabinet room. He said: "Never in history has a country been defeated as Iran has. We wiped it off the face of the earth." THAT SAME DAY: Iran launched its 80th wave of missile strikes against Israel and US bases. Iran's IRGC announced ALL American military bases in the Middle East have been "ELIMINATED" and they are hunting the remaining US troops. Iran released video claiming they shot down a US F-18 fighter jet near Chabahar. CENTCOM denied both claims. But released no footage. Iran announced the Strait of Hormuz will never be the same. 20+ ships have ALREADY paid the "Tehran Toll Booth" for safe passage. Iran's parliament is drafting a LAW to make the Hormuz toll system permanent. Iran then threatened to block the Bab el-Mandeb Strait — the entrance to the Red Sea. That's 12% of all global seaborne oil. On top of the 20% that already flows through the Hormuz they now control. Here's what nobody is telling you: The US spent months bombing Iran. Iran responded by becoming the landlord of the world's most important shipping lanes. That's not a defeat. That's a business model. Bookmark this. Come back in 5 days.

@Russ09M @LiuFeng_Dao Nobody needs USD now so those banking systems are irrelevant. Chinese/Russian banking systems are the future now. Congratulations on your stunning victory.

@LiuFeng_Dao All their financial systems have been frozen. They’re not collecting anything. You’re banking on a massive turnaround for Iran that’s not happening .

@rodcoffman @thesiriusreport You gleaned all of that from a single PR picture they released exactly for that reason.

@thesiriusreport Your news is dated, B-52's are now flying over dropping actual bombs GBU-31 JDAMs not shooting stand off missiles. About 10 tons of explosives per drop.

Whenever the US ventures into Iranian airspace, Iran either shoots down US aircraft, rapidly chases them out of the airspace or causes them serious damage. The idea that the US controls Iranian airspace is yet more utter bullshit. They rarely enter it.

@gocyclones7 @MyLordBebo The entire world is desperate to give it to them. More than they've ever seen before. Congrats I guess.

@MyLordBebo Iran is desperate for money

🇮🇷 The green circle is where the ships have to pass through and pay $2 million (likely in Chinese currency?) Today the flow of traffic has begun. Iran is cashing in.

@GeromanAT @Dmg_Cntrl Titanium plumbing. Corrosion-proof in seawater - add $100 million to the price tag. Titanium plumbing. Requires a clean-room to weld. SLIGHTEST damage means dead stop, full tow to port. These ships were designed for ZERO damage. Don't believe me look it up.

@Dmg_Cntrl Amphibious landing impossible (look at the map) - air drop is suicide because no supplies... Idiotic mission that won't happen.

A tiny island, whose main characteristic is its ability to combust, likely covered with mines and within throwing distance of the opposing force's mainland. Doesn't fill you with confidence.

@mCasual1 @mark_slapinski I'll check back again in a couple weeks. I already know how this movie ends. Can't wait to see you reaction.

You should read about the Ukraine proxy-war, 80% of hundreds of thousands of dead innocents by Drones, and try to imagine 1, 10 or 100 2024-issue military drones shoot each human head in a stadium in Tel Aviv or New Jersey ( remember the 3 weeks of drones violating US airspace? Could it be why the US and the whole dang Pentagon decided to disarm Iran in March 2026? everyday Russia, China, the US build i think thousands of modern military drones. The Ground Wars changed forever ... Ukrainians and all country leaders know this, but no leader including Trump will tell you ... you'd freak out.

@mCasual1 @mark_slapinski It is the point. You keep saying Iran started this but just acknowledged that you know that to be a lie. Enjoy the wilderness.

@SF202017 @mark_slapinski what you wrote is BESIDE the point i know about the Shah, Mossadek i know decades of terrorism by the Theocratic Iran dictators and what they did to their citizens. but if you want to impede the desarmement of murderous tyrans ... well that's your etenal shame

@ZZvonimiro76162 @squatsons The only reaon US bases exists in the region is to provide the illusion that we can protect those places. You just shattered that illusion. Leaders who allow those bases to remain won't be rulers very long with an independent Iran about to emerge as a prosperous Islam-oil state

@SF202017 @squatsons That depends, just surviving but agreeing to leave the US bases in the MIDEAST, reopen Hormuz, and/or restrictions on missile/nuclear program would also be a loss. The regime only wins this if it kicks the US out of the MIDEast, in short.

an Iranian ballistic missile struck Dimona, southern Israel. Interceptors failed to hit the warhead before impact.

@mCasual1 @mark_slapinski History began before 1979. You should read some of it. The modern war in Iran began in 1953. Britain started it but the US had to take credit. Good doc named Coup 53 about it.

@SF202017 @mark_slapinski it's the continuation of the war the Ayattolahs have been waging for decades ... you there SF you can google all the terrorism they spread over the middle east. But you're ok if they remain armed with drones and missiles you dont care about victims

@ZZvonimiro76162 @squatsons Iran only has to survive to win. That's a slight advantage.

@SF202017 @squatsons Dude, if believing Iran is winning this makes you sleep better at night, fine.

@John_Rossomando @cirnosad Iran improves designs they are given from Russia just as Russia improves designs given to it by Iran (Shaheeds for example)

@cirnosad The Russians or Chinese engineered it for them. They sure as heck didn't do that on their own. They're a client state.

Iranian ballistic missile warhead in-flight at hypersonic speeds landing on its target in Israel, at a distance of 1,400km from launch and with a precision less than 5 meters. Absolutely insanely amazing engineering happening here. Iranians are geniuses, God bless/protect them.

@Juan_Ostrovsky @ILRedAlert It's a warning that another attack on Natantz means a big problem at Dimona. They showed you what they can do. Your move I guess.

@SF202017 @ILRedAlert It's not a warning because the Iranian are doing the same and only thing they can do: kill civilians

Iranian state television claims its forces targeted Israel’s Dimona nuclear facility in response to the reported attack on Natanz, framing the action as a warning to its adversaries.

@Juan_Ostrovsky @ILRedAlert That's what "warning" means. And as if you monsters give a shit about killing children...

@ILRedAlert No, they didn't, they targeted the city, far from the nuclear facility, and possibly killed a child

@ZZvonimiro76162 @squatsons The difference is everyone knows the US is capable of this. We were lied to about those dumb cave people currently kicking your ass.

@squatsons Kremlin dogs will show you every recorded Iranian strike on Israel, but they will never show you this footage- it shows the power imbalance AND how Iranians are cheering the bombings. x.com/Vahid/status/2…

@mCasual1 @mark_slapinski How's your war going now a week later?

@SF202017 @mark_slapinski well if you humiliatingly apologize i'm willing to let it slide, so, on yer knees and make it sound atoned

@people_wee @squatsons @mishtal @PKurzin Does any country tell their enemies the truth about their military capabilities?

@squatsons @mishtal @PKurzin Iran consistently claimed they had no missiles with that kind of range...

Iran just fired missiles at Diego Garcia - 2,361 miles from Tehran. They were not supposed to have this range. Surprise, surprise, Iran lied! Tehran to London 2750 miles Tehran to Paris 2610 miles Tehran to Berlin 2200 miles So yeah, tell me again how Iran is not a threat

@squatsons @mishtal @PKurzin Sure they can. It's the new justification for the war. The dead-enders are eating it up too.

@mishtal @PKurzin Oh because they didn’t use them until we attacked. You can’t be that stupid.

@EyerotGaming @squatsons @mrhostyle Iran has hit every US base in the region and destroyed almost all of our radar capabilities. Those were some pretty lucky shots I guess.

@squatsons @mrhostyle If Iran could have hit those things, they'd already have done it. Currently they are just lobbing highly inaccurate missiles into Israel and hoping for the best.

Let’s see whether Iran is actually able to hit these oil and gas sites

@EyerotGaming @squatsons You don't even know the definition of "decimated".

No, that isn't what is occuring. Iran has been utterly decimated. They do not have the ability to really do more than lob missiles into Israel or the Gulf states at this point. Accuracy is not a thing Iran has an option for anymore (to the extent they ever did). If the US and Israel were intentionally not targeting Iranian energy facilities, they were doing that because they didn't want to leave Iran's main infrastructure a crumbling wreck for the next government. If you wanted to make a good argument here, you might say that this is a sign the US and Israel see little chance the regime change piece of this war is likely to happen. That could be a reasonable conclusion.

Israeli strikes have hit the largest Iranian gas processing plant in Asaluyeh. South Pars accounts for about 75% of Iran's natural gas production and it is estimated that about 80% of the country's power grid runs on natural gas. This is a major escalation that will have dramatic consequences on the global economy.

@CindyCoops @BobbyCass88 @AmbJohnBolton Are you high? Trump will be forced to surrender or be removed.

@BobbyCass88 @AmbJohnBolton It's obviously working.

In 2018-2019, I made the case for regime change in Iran as often as I could. Voices in Trump’s orbit often cited Iran’s capacity to close the Strait of Hormuz as a reason against regime change. Trump has been fully aware this is a possibility, and yet did not prepare.
