Monitoring the situation in Iran

Mate, the school was previously part of compound the IRGCN have their headquarters in.
Wow, the entire IRGCN has their headquarters in these buildings in this small town. The school is the building at the top middle.

Does this even remotely look like a major naval base? There are three parked cars, no trucks, no antennas, no dishes, no helicopter pad, no multi story buildings, no nothing.

Again this shit???


According to Al Jazeera (you can't get more persian/arab than that)

The importance of Minab and the targeted military square

To understand the motives for including Minab in the first US-Israeli targets, the city must be placed within its broader geostrategic context.

Minab is located in Hormozgan in southeastern Iran, a province of enormous military importance as it directly overlooks the Strait of Hormuz and Gulf waters, making it a key hub for the operations of Iran's Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) naval forces, NEDSA....
........
This contradiction leaves only two possibilities: Either the bombing of the school was the result of a grave intelligence failure caused by reliance on outdated databases that did not keep pace with successive changes in the complex's layout, or it was a deliberate strike based on a linkage that treats the school as part of the military system.
 
It's amazing how antisemites just out in the open now. Even though Qatar has literally bought the US and it's entire academia, apparently it's Israel who's controlling it.

Also in this thread: Iran was ready to create 11 nuclear bombs, they can also reach Europe, but OMG why did they had to bomb that school!!!! Let's just focus on that one mistake that'll be investigated, unlike what Iran is doing like specifically targeting civilians in Israel and it's surrounding neighbours.

thankfully there's the ignore button for stupid.

Don't forget the vicious murder of 20,000-40,000 of its own citizens for protesting. Seems they all forget about that. The public hanging of a 19-year-old star athlete with an opinion goes right out the window.

I feel some empathy for people of Iran but to be honest I don't care about them that much. We should all remember that it was them (or their fathers/grandfathers) that put this regime in power in 1979.

So isn't this what they wanted?

Inflated gas prices -> higher prices for everything (world wide). And we don't know how long this situation will be like that (or how high prices will go).

Everything already was super expensive before this war...

You know, people change, and make mistakes, and they shouldn't pay for the mistakes their elders did.

Rising prices also happened at the start of the Russia Ukraine war.

Usually people want to change their system to be better for them (even communism seemed like something much better than life under Tsar). They wanted something completely different, medieval theocracy based on sharia law.

And this is exactly what they got. Of course women didn't have any say in this...

The people were duped, they didn't know what they voted FOR, they knew what they voted against which was to overthrow the monarchy. You can read here how some in academia view it:
 
Not really.

They have had decades of better and more free supply and funding than North Korea who have ICBM nuclear weapons.
North Korea has tested nukes underground but reducing them to a size that can fit on an icbm snd survive re-entry is a much harder step.

But just having them is deterrent enough to stop us doing anything rash.
 
The U.S. needs to stick to their original timeframe for this war in Iran, or there's going to be a bloodbath in the midterms. When you consider that almost every sees the party majority flip to the opposite of the sitting administration's party, in addition to most mainstream news sources being left-leaning, allowing for long lasting mentions of the gas prices being this high, people are going to be voting against Trump more than ever this fall.
 
These people are religious fanatics. Air power can never win this alone. Get ready for another agonizing Middle East occupation and quagmire. I'm pissed about the way this whole thing has gone down. So much for "no more wars." :messenger_unamused:
There's no way we can hold the ground of a country larger than Eastern Europe.

Especially when the American people don't have the stomach for significant troop casualties.

People are so short minded, they will be voting for more of the same if they vote against the current party. They all spend like no tomorrow but at least the Republicans pretend they are fiscally sound. Prices will rise regardless of who is in office.

Bros, none of these things dispute that Israel is in control of US foreign policy. US politicians are made to publicly grovel and swear fealty to Tel Aviv before they are accepted into the mainstream. Also don't assume I'm not glad Iran's nuclear program is being taken care of just because I don't like the way the tail is wagging the dog. Trump has made his political career nagging at past administrations' failures over foreign policy and domestic inflation, ending Iran's nuke program alone does not adequately explain why he's willing to alienate his base and lose the midterms.
 
Gas prices and plane tickets. I fear when everything else catches up.
The real rear end kicker in these things is fertilizer exports considering that not everything is going to wealthy countries. This is additive with Ukraine going from a fertilizer exporter to importer. Its the old four horsemen problem, they always seem to come together.
 
I read reports this weekend that diplomats from Qatar, Turkey, and Oman were trying to get everyone talking and to get to a ceasefire, that's probably the 'talks' that are being mentioned.

Trump probably realized his 48-hour gambit wasn't going to work, and needed a face-saving off-ramp, so he used those efforts to cite on-going discussions. From Iran's perspective, they're hardly considered direct talks and are just Trump backing down.

Maybe the so called ultimatum was a bit to soon while one carrier left the AO and the two amphibious battle groups are still some days away.

How can you believe a IRGC-run propaganda machine? Admitting to talks signals weakness and projects being defeated.
I tend to agree, but Trump has also been unreliable. If we just went by his public statements, we obliterated Iran's nuclear capability last year, achieved our goals in this current war, and now our biggest enemy are democrats. But these can't be true!
