US/Israel conduct airstrikes on Iran again

That hypocritical imbecile has basically set Socialism here back decades. To think he was almost Prime Minister…

Maybe they have had a change of heart on the whole global empire, world dominance malarkey and are evacuating back to their own hemisphere.

I'm sure Mossad has some involvement but it is not the main instigator. Normal Iranian citizens are furious at their pathetic and brutal overlords who themselves live in luxury while letting the people suffer. And the Iranian people will win eventually and this backwards theocratic government of bitter resentful old men will be swept away like the relic it is

You just confirmed that the Iranian regime wants a closed society where it cannot communicate freely and openly, and you think this is a good thing?

You can buy starlink in a shop 5 minutes down the road, why is it 'illegal' in Iran?

Well, if its one Twitter it must be true, right?

Iran is a master of making itself appear a lot more powerful than it actually is.

But 6 months ago, IDF jets were flying over Tehran freely through its airspace without any repercussions. Yet, Twitter was full of apocalyptic visions for Israel, the IDF and the US… none of which came to pass. Why was that?

I think you need to stop consuming nonsense content online.

Reality?

It is not I who is making up fantasy armies and going deep into conspiracy theories about Mossad agents under the beds of every Iranian protestor.

But back to reality, did the IDF not give the Iranians an almighty going over?
Are the regime not murdering their own citizens?

Given you have made a lot over the death of civilians in Gaza, it's interesting to hear you be so blase about the death of Iranian civilians? You have made no comment on it in this thread.

It's not that bad banning Starlink. Apartheid, ethnic cleansing, crimes against humanity and forced starvation of millions of people is far worse than that isn't it ?

It's not that bad banning Starlink.

Yet you showed a video of Iran with captured Starlink equipment as if it was a win for your argument.

Objective facts aren't fondness and admiration.

The IDF did hand a crippling defeat to Iran. That's just an objective fact. There is no comparison whatsoever between the technology, equipment and power projection available to both sides.

If you were watching a lion fight a gazelle, you aren't "pro-lion", a "lionist", or expressing fondness for lions to correctly predict that the gazelle hasn't a chance and is going to get mauled.

On the other hand, making out that the gazelle has tricks up its sleeve, the lion is actually terrified of the gazelle, or whatever, would simply not be compatible with reality.

There is always a chance the gazelle will escape of course, but that's about the best "victory" it could achieve.

I can agree with some of what you say. Where i would disagree with you is that this is all controlled by Mossad and the CIA. I have little doubt they are taking advantage of it, but i think there is an organic angle to this whereby people are tired of the economic misery they are experiencing. I would agree a lot of that is caused by western sanctions. I don't buy that Iranians are going to embrace secular western democracy either- this is the typical propaganda we see utilised when the West is eyeing up regime change. Also i would agree with you that America don't really care about Iranian civilians, concern for human rights is very much dependent on geo political concerns. Which is why the Saudis were able to send troops to crush protests in Bahrain several years back without a word being said about it. That's just one of many examples. One last point, i dont think it's wise to deny reality when it comes to Iranian military capabilities, the reality is they talk a good game but their actual ability falls well short of the declarations they make. Unlike Markodaly i am not saying this because i am pro Israel- it should be clear i am not, i think it's just unwise to deny objective facts.

Oil down 4% on the news and airspace reopened in Iran. Great news that, hopefully they can get negotiations underway without getting bombed for once.
