President Trump on Iran: "If I had my choice, what would I like to do, take the oil. Because it's there for the taking. There's not a thing they can do about it. Unfortunately, the American people would like to see us to come home. If it were up to me, I'd take the oil. I'd keep the oil. I would make plenty of money."

"...Ukraine is thousands of miles away from us . . . But we helped them. Now we’ll see if they help us. Because I’ve long said that we’ll be there for them but they won’t be there for us. And I’m not sure that they’d be there."
logic is skewd...u chose to invade iran which is 1000's of miles away from US, ukraine didnt choose to get invaded.
war of choice, sort ur own mess out

In an exclusive interview with the FT, the US president appealed to allies to help open up the Strait of Hormuz, sending a blunt message to European nations to join his war effort.

🚨 NEW: Trump says the U.S. struck Iran because, if he “didn’t hit them first,” Tehran would have “taken over the Middle East” and attacked Israel.
Speaking to reporters today, President Trump said Iran was planning to “take over the Middle East” with its “thousands of missiles” and “try and destroy Israel” — two of the three justifications he cited for launching the U.S.-Israeli regime change war against Iran on February 28.
Trump also claimed Iran was pursuing nuclear weapons, saying Iranian negotiators had effectively told Washington: “We want to continue to build nuclear weapons.”
Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi posted on X in the days before the first U.S. strike that Iran will “under no circumstances ever develop a nuclear weapon,” a position also confirmed by Oman’s foreign minister, who was mediating the talks.
Since coming to power in the 1979 revolution, Iran’s regime has not initiated a war against another state, but it has supported armed groups resisting Israel’s occupation and expansion.

💢 “Black rain” and “nuclear winter” effect reported in Tehran after Israeli strikes on oil facilities
▪️ Israeli strikes on oil depots around Tehran have released massive quantities of toxic hydrocarbons, sulfur dioxide, and nitrogen oxides. Mixed with rainwater, these chemicals are causing highly acidic precipitation that can cause skin burns and severe lung damage upon contact, according to Iranian authorities.
▪️ Dense plumes of black smoke from the Shahran and other refineries have blotted out the sun, plunging parts of the city into darkness and creating a "nuclear winter" effect, NYT reported. Authorities warned that these noxious fumes cause acute respiratory distress and eye irritation.
▪️ Oil-saturated rainwater has blanketed the city, leaving rooftops, balconies, and streets covered in a thick, murky black liquid and oily soot. This contamination poses a long-term risk of heavy metals like nickel and vanadium leaching into the soil and local water systems.
▪️ Environmental groups warn the pollution threatens migratory birds crossing the Persian Gulf. The "black rain" and smoke plumes can cause internal organ damage and destroy the insulating properties of bird feathers, leading to hypothermia and death.
The Iranian Red Crescent Society warned of the dangers of the rain, advising residents to protect themselves and to cover exposed food from oily soot particles. Officials said the rain is highly corrosive and could potentially damage civilian structures.

🚫 Rumors are circulating on social media of a U.S. fighter jet shot down over Basra. These are baseless and NOT TRUE.

My mate who runs a business and has accounts with them says he has been locked out for several days now. People cannot withdraw their money from UAE banks. The UAE is trying to prevent a bank run which would collapse the system. The UAE banking system is the most leveraged in the world and relies heavily on foreign funding. Dubai will no longer bworld's financial hub.

IRAN SITREP: Messaging
The disciplined communications strategy coming out of the Pentagon right now is unlike anything I have seen in my decades of watching this institution, and I have seen a lot (especially leaks).
@SecWar Hegseth and General Dan Caine are operating at a level this country desperately needed. They have established unified command, a clear message, zero leaks, zero backstabbing, and zero globalist interference. These are warfighters leading warfighters, and it shows.
Personally, credit has to go to the great communications team led by @SeanParnellUSA & @SeanParnellASW
The orchestration to remain on message with the @POTUS and the WH team has been essential to save lives and to ensure the American people hear the truth. @PressSec
Agree with this war or not, this is what right looks like when you put the right people in the right seats at the right moment in history.
Make no mistake, this is a moment in history. What @SecWar and CJCS Caine are building is a full restoration of warrior culture and America First national defense and national security.
When a nation remembers who it is and finds the courage to defend it, nothing in this world can stop it.
God bless our warriors.

@Partisangirl tap water is drinkable in major cities due to uae desal infrastructure - boil it first if it is a concern
English

‼️The UAE will run out of water.🫧
People are already panic buying water, the smart ones at least.
Tap water isn’t drinkable.
Bottled water has to be shipped in.
The airways are closed.
The sea (Hormuz) is closed.
Nothing is coming in.
It’s the desert.
Temperatures can rise up to 130 degrees Fahrenheit (55 degrees Celsius) with 100% humidity.
The government has instructed people not to panic buy, which means they know they will run out of water.
I speak from personal experience when I lived in the UAE as a child, and war broke out in the region, everyone panic bought water, and there was non left for the rest of us.
Who thought it was a good idea to stick 9 million foreigners in the desert? The same people who invented the "UAE" in the first place. Nature was always going to reclaim that place.

why were they pretending to negotiate then
