Reports stating that Israel have launched an attack against Iran
Trump now insinuating that Iran received Tomahawk missiles from another country that uses them, either that or they stole them somehow.
US, UK, Japan and Australia are the only other countries that have them and the chances of them handing them around are practically zero. No doubt contracts are in place to prevent them being passed onto other states also.
So, who gave the order to attack the school, must of been someone, unless the pilot just went off on one and wanted to murder 160+ kids and teachers.
How can anyone believe a word the man says !
Oil prices dropping this morning. It seems the markets are running with Trumps near end scenario.
They'll need plenty body bags with them, no sane military mind would ever consider a ground force invasion of Iran, they failed in Afghanistan against a disjointed militia and farmers with 70s Russian weaponry, what could possibly makes them think Iran would be any better
Renewables whose inputs are refined and final product manufactured {using coal and slave labour} in that famous dictatorship called China that never ever threatened anyone with restrictions of supplies, all while pushing every single Europe producer to bankruptcy
/S
Again it shows the need to shift to renewable energy. Fossil fuels are largely held by countries that are unstable, and/or dictatorships.
There is exactly one pipeline which if blown up would set this country back to the Stone Age for the 6mths to a year it take to fix it and of course we neither have storage nor gas terminals thanks to the Green Party
All while all that wind and solar that was built has no gas as backup for their highly unreliable and random generation capacity is not able to run a stable grid, grid batteries are currently 10x the price of nuclear and only offering storage for short periods, not even generation
I'm surprised anyone is surprised. Its been extremely well flagged that Iran can easily close the Strait by just making it too dangerous for commercial vessels to pass through.
Iran not playing ball…
"Iran's Revolutionary Guards also responded to Trump that they would "determine the end of the war".
And Araghchi effectively ruled out talks with Washington, saying Tehran had "a very bitter experience of talking with Americans."
Like i said boiled brain soup, talking points that have been downloaded from the Internet.
This is our 3rd big energy shock in less than 10 years, fossil fuels are clearly not reliable but soup brained 'blame the eu' and 'marginal energy policy' nonsense is trotted out constantly.
You're probably also in favor of more LNG terminals, and opposed to grid scale batteries as well
Im surprised how successful Iran has been in closing the strait, especially since the US claims to have sunk the Iranian fleet. The truth is that the strait is so narrow that it can be closed with drones or artillery.
There's an interesting movement of Marine Corps kit which supports the boots on the ground theory... looking like a week or two with current momentum.
Following Iran's remarks last night a spokesman for the Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps " not a litre of oil will leave the middle east until the US and Israel stop bombing "
Sounds fair enough.
If you want to ignore the illegal deportation of tens of thousands of people to a black hole prison in another country, using children as bait, an intentionally crumbling education system, constant grifting and shifting billions in wealth from the poor to the wealthy....etc etc etc.
The list goes on. Just because thousands of protestors haven't been murdered in the US doesn't somehow make it a paragon of justice. They're just as bad, in their own way.
It seems that the US has been at war for 220 out of 247 years of its existence.
On this occasion the IRGC spokesperson was on the money when he described Trump’s most recent statements as “nonsense”. If the president thinks he can fool the markets with this garbage he’ll be put right PDQ.
Some ambiguity about whether the war will continue. He said yesterday the war was "complete" but later said "we haven't won enough" and warned Iran if it blocked the Hormuz Strait. He appeared not to know it was blocked. Trump has suggested using naval escorts for ships in the strait. CNN says the IGRC say they are waiting for the US ships.
Talk of the US might seize Karg Island, where 90% of Iranian crude is exported. That would make the US vulnerable to Iranian strikes though as its close to the Iranian coast.
Also, MeidasTouch channel on youtube (the most popular liberal US channel I think) says the US has lost 11 Reaper drones (which are expensive) in this conflict.
The drones cost $30 million each and the full system costs $100 million apparently. Reports the war is costing the US $1-2bn a day. Rumours Trump will seek $52bn from Congress to fund the war.
Karoline Leavitt refuses to rule out a draft. She was responding to Fox's Maria Bartiromo who said many mothers were worried their sons would be sent to war.
Do more of the first 3 maybe?
While they build a nuke. Then hit them with that.
Who knows.
But when taco goes back to playing golf and shouting about Greenland, Iran can plot and scheme their revenge.
Threats to oil and gas are the main weapon Iran has at this stage - they’re not going to give that up lightly - and if the shortage continues, to paraphrase Mr. Bush, Trump will hear from all of us soon.
You forgot the part where we should be grateful, especially China and the nations that rely heavily on the Strait of Hormuz.
Leader of the “free world” ladies and gentlemen. Threatening death fire and fury and that Iran will be hit so hard that they’ll never be able to be built back as a nation again. So he’s in essence threatening to exterminate them as a whole. So much for the protestors.
If Iran does anything that stops the flow of Oil within the Strait of Hormuz, they will be hit by the United States of America TWENTY TIMES HARDER than they have been hit thus far. Additionally, we will take out easily destroyable targets that will make it virtually impossible for Iran to ever be built back, as a Nation, again — Death, Fire, and Fury will reign upon them — But I hope, and pray, that it does not happen! This is a gift from the United States of America to China, and all of those Nations that heavily use the Hormuz Strait. Hopefully, it is a gesture that will be greatly appreciated.
Lebanese Maronite Catholic priest Father Pierre al-Rahi has been killed by Israeli tank fire in the village of Qlayaa in southern Lebanon, the Catholic news service OSV News is reporting.
According to OSV, al-Rahi, who was also known as Pierre el-Rai, had refused an Israeli order to flee Qlayaa, a Christian Maronite village in the Marjayoun district a few miles from the Israeli border. The town had been home to some 8,000 people before Israeli attacks began.
“Father Pierre al-Rahi was from my village, Dibeh, but he was the parish priest of Qlayaa in Marjayoun,” Lebanese Maronite Father Jean Younes, secretary general of the Assembly of Catholic Patriarchs and Bishops of Lebanon, told OSV News.
“Unfortunately, he passed away. God bless his soul,” Younes said.
They are already doing the first 3, so that can't be "going after them" in any new way. So what can they do that they are not already doing?
Everyone againtst the war is claiming that Iran has no nukes, and no intention to build them. Are you disagreeing with that? Do you think Iran in reality does have nukes?
Drones? Bombs? Support terrorists in Palestine and Lebanon?
Maybe just nuke them.
Loads of options.
How will they go after them?
Biden told the world he saw photos of beheaded babies.
Would be great if israel closed it's own torture center's.

Trump is so short-term in his thinking that he may be trying to buy a few days’ grace with that end to war ‘very soon’ remark. The markets will be unhappy if that’s the case.
I've seen video of morgues where there have been definitely more than 200 bodies. But let's believe Iran . Like Hamas, their word is gospel
It justs seems a symbolic victory at this stage. I'm sure they will just torture people in other premises now.
The time for revolution was perhaps a few months ago, when Trump did nothing.
Do you deny that Israel killed hundreds of people including civilians during the “ceasefire”?
What is the timeline for Hezbollah decommissioning?
Even non Shia want security guarantees from Israel as part of any decommissioning process. The country has been invaded and attacked by Israel ad nauseam.
