The Iranian navy, which has been destroyed eight times, closed the Strait of Hormuz again, because the United States for the seventh time won the war that wasn’t a war, so the United States can open the Strait of Hormuz that was open before the not war. The not war that started to get the uranium that was completely obliterated, so that the Iranians can’t build the nuclear bomb that they weren’t building for the not war that the United States started. Then the United States which has nuclear weapons threatening to use nuclear weapons to prevent Iran from having nuclear weapons because having nuclear weapons is dangerous. If the United States saw what the United States is doing in the United States, the United States would invade the United States to liberate the United States from the tyranny of the United States.

🚨 BREAKING : Pakistan Makes Historic Decision for Iran! 🚨 Pakistan Rewrites the Regional Trade Map! In a major strategic move, Pakistan has officially allowed Iran to conduct trade with third countries through its territory. The Ministry of Commerce has issued the "Transit Order 2026" notification, which has been enforced immediately. Now, any third country can export goods to Iran using Pakistan’s land routes. The federal government has also introduced major amendments to the Import and Export Control Act 1950** to facilitate this transit trade. Key Routes Included: - Gwadar - Port Qasim - Ormara - Pasni - Gwad - Taftan - Quetta - Khuzdar All goods transportation will strictly follow the Customs Act 1969 and FBR regulations. Pakistan is now set to become the Trade Gateway of the Region!

@justavet @stengel Strictly speaking they were 9 days away, considering the timezone.

@stengel Gosh, your stupid. Iranians enriched to 60%, they never reducef their stockpile, they refused and evaded Inspections and the Straits were never in question. They were 10 days away from weapons grade. I could go on but this is too stupid.

You know what would be amazing if Vance and his team can negotiate an agreement where Iran doesn't enrich above 3.67% (far below weapons grade); gets rid of 98% of its stockpile of enriched uranium; has weekly inspections by the IAEA; keeps the straits open without charging anyone; and commits to all of this for at least ten years. Oh, yeah, that was the Obama Iran deal.

@KVSATYAMURTY @RnaudBertrand @BDUTT Are you ok, Doctor?

@RnaudBertrand @BDUTT PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP IS THE ELECTED REPRESENTATIVE OF THE PEOPLE OF USA 🇺🇸 THAT IS WHY HE HOLDS PRESS CONFERENCES ADDRESSES THE NATION AND CARES FOR EVEN A SINGLE PILOT SHOT DOWN IN IRAN 🇮🇷! ON THE CONTRARY MORTABA KHAMEINI IS IN HIDING &IS NOW ASKING RUSSIA 🇷🇺 TO FIGHT WAR?!

So, if I got that right, here's the narrative: - A US F-15E fighter jet got shot down over Iran, despite Trump saying 2 days beforehand in his nationwide address that Iran has "no anti-aircraft equipment. Their radar is 100% annihilated." (apnews.com/article/donald…) - The plane's weapons systems officer - a "highly respected Colonel," according to Trump - ejected from the plane and got "seriously wounded" (still according to Trump: @realDonaldTrump/116351956955900185" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">truthsocial.com/@realDonaldTru…) - He still managed to "hike up a 7,000-foot [2.1km] mountain ridgeline and hide in a crevice" in the Zagros Mountains, despite his wounds (time.com/article/2026/0…) - U.S. MQ-9 Reaper drones started killing all "Iranian military-aged males believed to be a threat who got within three kilometers of [the American's location]" (x.com/ByChrisGordon/…) - To retrieve him the U.S. managed to seize an "abandoned airport," 200 miles deep inside Iran, near Isfahan (bbc.com/news/articles/…), which happens to be where Iran's largest atomic scientific center is located (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isfahan_N…) - They landed two MC-130 military transport planes in that airport (theaviationist.com/2026/04/05/u-s…) in an operation involving "hundreds of special forces troops and military personnel" (time.com/article/2026/0…) - Both MC-130 planes got "stuck in the sand" and the U.S. destroyed them themselves "to prevent them from falling into Iranian hands" (theaviationist.com/2026/04/05/u-s…) - They deployed "three new aircraft to extract all the U.S. personnel" on the ground (theaviationist.com/2026/04/05/u-s…) - There are videos circulating online of "heavy clashes" with presumably Iranian missiles raining down in Kohgiluyeh County, in the Zagros Mountains during that night (x.com/Afshin_Ismaeli…) - Iran sent pictures of the aftermath at the "abandoned airport" and it's a sight of utter destruction, with US plane and MH-6 helicopter parts scattered all over the ground, still smoking (turkiyetoday.com/region/wreckag…). Iran claims they are the ones who in fact destroyed all the aircraft. - Meanwhile a second U.S. plane, an A-10 Warthog, also crashed on Friday near the Strait of Hormuz according to two U.S. officials speaking to the NYT (#47863db0-d61e-51bf-b7e1-6c4a9dc988e7" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">nytimes.com/live/2026/04/0…). In that instance too the lone pilot was apparently "safely rescued." - In all this, after the multiple planes and helicopters destroyed or shot down, the documented heavy clashes, the "hundreds of special forces troops and military personnel" operating deep inside Iran, not a single US soldier was reported killed "or even wounded" (according to Trump: @realDonaldTrump/116350133044957842" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">truthsocial.com/@realDonaldTru…). - And the 'highly respected Colonel' this was all for? No name. No photo. No interview. Nobody has spoken to him nor knows who he is. So to sum up: anti-aircraft equipment that supposedly didn't exist shot down an F-15 (and, apparently, an A-10 Warthog the same day). A seriously wounded man climbed a 2.1km mountain. The US seized an airfield 200 miles inside a country it's at war with, next to one of its most strategic nuclear sites, and deployed hundreds of troops all apparently unimpeded. Lost two planes to "sand" and destroyed their own helicopters. Videos show heavy clashes, missiles raining down - but not a single person got "even wounded". And the man at the center of it all? Nobody knows who he is, completely anonymous, zero pictures, but Trump says he is "SAFE and SOUND." And so is the rescued A-10 Warthog pilot, who also remains anonymous. Trump concludes this all proves the US has "achieved overwhelming Air Dominance and Superiority over the Iranian skies" (@realDonaldTrump/116350133044957842" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">truthsocial.com/@realDonaldTru…), despite the whole episode only happening because Iran shot his planes out of the sky. Basically, the only thing that's "overwhelming" here is the audacity of the storytelling...

@kanbar @RezaNasri1 Person w that flag talking about international law. Suddenly a hot topic for y’all for some reason but not when you were sowing

Arab states that permanently host U.S. military bases have, as a matter of black-letter international law, forsaken their sovereignty and no longer qualify as fully sovereign states. They therefore cannot invoke the rights and protections reserved exclusively to states that actually meet the legal definition of sovereignty, and they have no say about Iran's right to defend itself against US aggression. The Montevideo Convention on the Rights and Duties of States (1933), Art. 1, defines statehood by four cumulative requirements, the decisive fourth being “the capacity to enter into relations with other States.” This capacity requires exclusive and independent authority over territory and external affairs, without subordination to any other power (Island of Palmas arbitration, 1928; Lotus case, PCIJ 1927). Numerous Arab states — including Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Bahrain, Kuwait, UAE, Jordan, and others — host permanent U.S. military bases and facilities under Status of Forces Agreements. These agreements grant American forces extraterritorial immunity, exclusive operational command, and control over large areas of sovereign territory. Local courts cannot prosecute U.S. personnel, local legislatures cannot inspect bases, and host governments cannot unilaterally order eviction without risking severe economic or military retaliation. CIA operational centers embedded within or alongside these bases conduct intelligence, surveillance, rendition, and lethal activities beyond effective Arab oversight. A state that cannot control who bears arms on its soil, who conducts intelligence operations, or who decides when foreign forces depart has, by definition, surrendered the exclusivity of authority required by Montevideo. It is no longer exercising the functions of a state “to the exclusion of any other State.” It has become, in legal terms, a semi-sovereign protectorate, leased territory, or a modern vassal in all but name. Arab states hosting permanent U.S. military bases have voluntarily (or under duress) forsaken the fourth Montevideo criterion. They therefore fail the legal definition of fully sovereign states and cannot invoke the full protections of sovereign equality (UN Charter Art. 2(1)) or non-intervention (Art. 2(7)) against the very power whose bases and intelligence apparatus they host. The Arab world must confront this stark legal reality: symbols of statehood such as flags, UN membership, and national anthems confer no genuine sovereignty when the fundamental attributes of independence have been surrendered — least of all the standing to object when Iran exercises its inherent right of self-defense against American aggression emanating from bases on Arab soil.

@jacobs_and12334 @MohanadElbalal So Afghanistan was an aberration ?

@MohanadElbalal They also did it before the advent of the VTOL. What the IRGC wants doesn’t really matter. 53’s and Ospreys will carry Marines to their doorsteps- uncontested. And they roll deep. The US always fights AW, and we always dominate; nothing novel, overhyped strategy.

They did it before the advent of asymmetric warfare emerged as a viable long term war strategy. The IRGC isn’t going to meet the US Marines for one big battle at the Persian Gate. Also neither Turks or the Romans managed to conquer Persia. And Greece is being double counted by stating both Macedonia and Greece. Not to mention that Macedonia was being led by possibly the Greatest General of all time meanwhile the US has Pete Hegseth.

@EmpirePodUK So using Mao as a visual shorthand for modern China is like using Churchill as a stand-in for modern Britain, no?

This is how the Chinese really feel about India...😬
