Mining it wouldn't make a lot of sense anyway considering they still wanted ships they approved of to be able to get through. If Kharg had been taken out, then they might have wanted to mine it if they could, because they would no longer need it passable.

His comments read like a capitulation with a brave face put on it, but I guess we'll see. It doesn't really matter which ships are allowed through, so long as the oil gets out.

Yes. The Islamist government of Iran is absolutely psychotic. They would eventually use one on Israel, the US, or any one of the multiple Arabic nations that don't like them.

Fair enough.

They totally would.

This war is being battled out between US, Israel and Iran. Yet Iran was flinging missiles in every direction against all sorts of countries. And not just US bases there, but just randomly shooting them and hitting civilian spots.

Just imagine if they had a slew of nukes.

People in the West don't have a theory of mind for backwards radical fundamentalists, it seems, no matter how many times they blow themselves up or gladly turn their entire country into a crater just to kill a handful of civilians.

Of course they would use nukes.

Yup.

It's the kind of place that doesnt admit defeat. Too proud. They would rather go down with the ship (no pun intended -->). As another example, trying t blow up oil tanker ships with drones and a new one..... explosive boats.

Six vessels attacked amid reports of Iranian drone boats, sea mines

Iraq reportedly suspends oil terminal operations after two tankers hit by explosive-laden boats in Iraqi waters.

I mean it's highly unlikely they would. But a 1:10000 chance of them using a nuke destroying a city with millions of people in it and then the retaliatory nuclear strikes that would remove Iran from the map and the literal and figurative fallout from that is too high a risk. Which would all make sense if the enriched uranium wasn't apparently still sat in a bunker in Iran (or in a bunker buried under a mountain).

They likely would've flinged one out as soon as the had one made.

For them, ignorance is bliss and being blissfully ignorant of facts is the M.O.
Most of the time you cannot even convince them with facts because they are actually hateful while using niceties to pretend otherwise.
If in the United States, we live among too many fucking liars. To sum it up.

Where are the Iranian freedom fighters in all this? Were the riots just a mirage? You'd think the common folk would take the opportunity to force regime change especially since they now have the big guns backing them. If they do not capitalize on this chance they are cowards.

~40,000 protesters were gunned down and ~200,000 more were maimed last month. It has had a demoralizing effect; the bravest protesters are dead. People are staying home and waiting it out, not wanting to get caught in the crossfire either.

The regime's ability to combat the USA-Israeli forces has been largely sorted out, as have multiple rounds of leadership, but most of the thugs on the ground are still intact. We don't yet know what will be done on that front.

The UK has created this view where they've normalized primitive Pakistani religious views as being standard doctrine.

I was in Morocco on a private stay with a Moroccan family, and this young British Pakistani tourist couple who was also on it kept harassing the local Moroccans over their religious practices. Muslims in their own country getting harassed by these British Pakistani wackos.

I like to nuance the issue as there being both a problem with Islam's religious doctrine as well as a problem with Pakistani culture, so Pakistani Muslims are just giving it a double dose of fucked up.

This is my concern. There was never any doubt the US could take their military capability out, but without boots on the ground, the thugs and co can just hide it out.

I struggle to understand why the English are humiliating themselves a little more each day. To go from such courageous resistance to this… what a decline. Even in France, you don't see this level of submission, and that's saying something, given how rotten things are there too.

So your '3-day Special Military Operation' was a reference to Ukraine? Or Iran? Because I don't remember a timeframe like that being given for Iran.

You don't believe Iran's offensive missile capability has been severely degraded?
