US/Israel conduct airstrikes on Iran again

Are you calling them anti-semantic?

Trump has no good options now.

The Iranians have gone from controlling a couple of percent of world global oil supply to controlling 20% of it.

Without an amphibious invasion to take Kharg and controll the strait that is going to continue.

He needs to get the enriched uranium also. Without getting that and if it dispersed to proxies and combined with drone technology the west but in particular Israel along with the gulf states are in very serious peril from dirty bombs. Jihadis and nuclear bomb grade material is a really bad combination

The Americans now have less strategic control than they had 2 months ago and in particular 9 months ago.

There's a reason dealing with Iran hasn't lead to a previous war in every American administration since Reagan, but in particular since Iran's nuclear ambitions were obvious since 2000/2002 or so. What we are seeing play out here isn't a surprise to anyone involve in war gaming this over the last few decades either in Iran or USA.

If Trump goes for peace now, Iran isn't going to just open up the Straits without getting something in return. Israel signing up to IAEA inspection might be a carrot but that'll be some sell.

As things stand Trump is politically dead if this continues as it fractures his base. Inflation will do the rest with swing voters.

Iran way Iran comes out of this in a better place.

The only alternative is a full ground invasion which Trump or nobody elses wants.

If IRGC or any Iranian proxies start driving trucks into American malls or shooting up a football game then that will happen anyway.

I'm not sure any of this is bad for the regime leadership. It's a death cult and martyrdom is the only guarantee/short circuit to paradise so taking out lads isn't going to lead to an issue with replacements.

Trump's thinking this would go like Venezuela was a major miscalculation

Escalation in Middle East possible in coming days, Polish PM says

‌There are reasons to believe ‌that there ​could be an escalation in ​the ‌conflict in the Middle ​East in the coming days, according to Polish ​Prime ⁠Minister Donald Tusk.

"I ‌have reasons to believe, also ‌based on information we've received from our allies, ⁠that stabilisation ​is unlikely in ​the coming days," he told reporters.

"On the ⁠contrary, a new ⁠escalation may ​occur."

The criminals in the WH haven’t a clue what they’re doing.

I think Brent peaked at $117, it's now at $110. I feel the market is finally seeing through Trump. That and if Trump tries to take Kharg island, even if successful, they won't be able to ship the oil out through the strait. Meaning less oil on the market. Bunch of headless chickens in the WH playing checkers while Iran are playing chess.

Best to fill up the tank this weekend.

Those dotards are going to try take one of the islands.

So what will he announce just after Wall Street's closing bell today? Usually it's something very negative which causes turmoil, but the markets are already melting down as I type, so it might have to be something very positive to keep the DOW out of official correction territory.

If so it's as likely then that any such announcement will come with enough time before the bell for insiders to sell into the bounce, which means he'll be back with another threatening deadline Sunday evening.

Yep short of a miracle it will definitely escalate now, we up to 65% for US forces to “enter Iran by end of April” on polymarket

Trumps self described aim (hope) when starting this stupid war was a Venezuela style quick toppling of regime without destroying Iran, that obviously failed and put Iranian regime hilariously enough in a better position

But

That better position is dependent on the sanctions continued to be lifted and the country and especially its power and energy infrastructure NOT being bombed to the stoneage, which is precisely what Trump threatened and i suspect will do, and he would have both Saudis and Israel egging him on because having Iran turned into a bigger Syria / Afghanistan is fine by them especially if everyone too busy fighting each other in a civil war, hard to run a country and continue threatening everyone without electricity and water and Trump has no issues committing war crimes

So in short things will get worse for Iran, much much worse, especially as Saudis are exporting and earning 3-4x more than Iran whose oil infrastructure could be captured or destroyed at any time, while other Gulf states slowly wake up to the conclusion that Iran has to go as otherwise they don’t have a future as states

Its really hard to imagine a more cowardly form of warfare that uses airborne explosives controlled from a safe distance to demolish housing blocks and wipe out all those living inside…

I have to believe that someday Israel/ USA / Russia will be made to pay for their seemingly unending bombing sprees -

All 3 countries are absolutely vile and deserve major comeuppance, but unfortunately the world usually doesn't work like that and it's the innocent who suffer

A horrific amount of destruction to civilian infrastructure in under a month. Surely a few sanctions must be on the way for the 2 global pariahs and it's enablers, who have also been complicit in a live streamed mass extermination campaign on a city of 2 million Palestinians over the last 30 months with just a shrug of the shoulders.

More than 92,000 civilian units have been damaged across the country due to US-Israeli attacks, according to the Iranian Red Crescent.

The damage to 92,662 civilian units includes 71,356 residential units, 20,399 commercial units, 290 health facilities, and 600 schools.

The war has additionally damaged 17 Red Crescent centres, 46 ambulances and three relief helicopters, the organisation said.

Irans primary crime seems to be it's refusal to be a mere puppet state to western energy interests, like all the GCC.

Right?

IMHO Iran should immediately handover 20% of its country to nuclear powers, deNazify, hold elections, and reduce their military to nothing while denouncing Islam

Am I doing this right? /s

🤣
