Comments: I suspect escalation is the most likely path going forward as US just green lighted transfer of 40,000 ton worth of dumb bombs to Israel
Comments: Its now confirmed Senior military commanders from the U.S., Israel and eight Arab countries secretly met in Germany last week to discuss the war with Iran and the broader regional security situation. Axios reports the meeting, organized by CENTCOM commander Adm. Brad Cooper, included the military chiefs of Israel, Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Bahrain, Kuwait, Qatar, Jordan and Egypt. It was the first such gathering since the U.S. and Israel went to war with Iran more than six months ago, and brought together Israeli and Arab military leaders from countries that in some cases still have no diplomatic relations. Cooper reportedly reassured the group that the U.S. will maintain its military presence in the region and briefed them on plans to expand protected shipping through the Strait of Hormuz. The meeting also comes as the Houthis escalate attacks on Saudi Arabia and threaten the Bab al-Mandab. Axios reports Israel, Saudi Arabia and CENTCOM are discussing possible Israeli ISR support for Saudi operations against the Houthis.
Comments: پشت ویترینِ «تمدن بزرگ»؛ حلبیآبادها و فقر مردم در زمان شاه وقتی از دوران پهلوی حرف میزنیم، خیلیها فقط کاخها، ماشینهای لوکس و جشنهای پرزرقوبرق را نشان میدهند؛ اما آن طرف این ویترین، بخش بزرگی از مردم زندگی خیلی متفاوتی داشتند. در سالهای قبل از انقلاب، حلبیآبادها و سکونتگاههای فقیرنشین در اطراف شهرهای بزرگ، مخصوصاً تهران، گسترش پیدا کرده بودند. خانوادههایی که از روستاها و شهرهای کوچک برای پیدا کردن کار به تهران آمده بودند، گاهی در خانههایی بسیار ساده و بدون امکانات اولیه زندگی میکردند. برای خیلی از خانوادههای کمدرآمد، سفره زندگی با گوشت و غذاهای متنوعی که امروز تصور میکنیم فاصله زیادی داشت. نان، پنیر، سبزی، سیبزمینی و غذاهای ساده بخش مهمی از سفره بسیاری از خانوادههای فقیر بود و بعضی غذاهای سنتی ساده، مثل آبگوشت و کشکجوش، غذای روزمره محسوب میشدند. مشکل فقط غذا نبود؛ آب، برق، گاز، فاضلاب، مدرسه و خدمات شهری هم برای همه به یک اندازه در دسترس نبود. در حاشیه شهرها، خانوادههایی بودند که از امکاناتی که در مناطق مرفهنشین وجود داشت، فاصله زیادی داشتند. در همان سالهایی که حکومت از «پیشرفت» و «تمدن بزرگ» حرف میزد، فاصله طبقاتی هم یکی از واقعیتهای تلخ جامعه بود؛ یک طرف کاخها و محلههای مرفه، طرف دیگر حاشیهنشینی و خانوادههایی که برای گذران سادهترین زندگی https://www.instagram.com/reel/DdRemOUSVO2/

Comments: Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi claimed Tuesday that Tehran will soon release details about American military casualties and equipment damage and while citing the Pentagon's inspector general report released Monday. “Fiction: Iran is defenseless,” Araghchi wrote in a post shared on X. “Fact: 100s of U.S. military sites blown to pieces; dozens of aircraft scorched. (Source: The Pentagon).” “That's just the tip of the iceberg. We'll reveal it all in due course,” Araghchi said. “For those who've sold lies about Iran, it won't be pretty,” he warned.
Comments: It is interesting how all these leaders around the world happen to be leading at the same time. Elected or not, they are very much alike.
Comments: Shahryar jAn, it is crazy how these insane people come together at the same time to ruin the world. Saudi arabia stood up a blockade trying to starve Yemen for ten years. Then together with US, egypt, and others they have bombed the Yemenis for almost the same amount of time. They were unsuccessful. Now, they are trying the same shit again. In return, AnsAr allah is hitting every city in Saudi arabia, including Mecca. The Saudis have so much to lose. All Yemenis have to lose is a long and a pair of dampAyi. They have not much to lose. WTF is Mammad arrah thinking? I think he is risking for SA to disappear for good.

Comments: Faramarz, You said it already; he is insane. These are not people who play with a full deck, if you know what I mean. People like MBS, Bibi, Trump suffer from variety of brain and human deficiency, which is why they make such decisions and bring the world near another World War.
Comments: So, in the last three days, Mammad Arreh has pleaded with Trump, Israel, Turkey, Pakistan, and Egypt (as far as I know-there may be more). I am now wondering about his sanity. All of these efforts are about help for destroying the Houthis. Has he not seen what Iran did to USA/Israel? Does he not realize that there is no defense against these missiles? That any escalation will mean the annihilation of SA's oil infrastructure which will then take a decade to reconstitute? What is he thinking? The move of talking to Tehran is the first sane move that I see.

Hello, note that Iranian Minister of Science, Research and Technology is expected to be in Riyadh today for a UNESCO event on Artificial Intelligence.
Comments: ✈️ Interesting flight .. Iranian Government Avro RJ85 (EP-IGF) just landed in Riyadh. Callsign IRAN06 ... which means it is most likely carrying Defense Minister, or Secretary of the Supreme National Security Council.
Comments: Oman's president did not trust Kushner and flew personally to Washington to Tell Trump that progress had been made and war could be avoided. As soon as they saw that an agreement was near, Netenyahu ordered Trump to attack Iran to stop the progress. Oman's President said the "Iran war was started to prevent peace not to enhance it." All of this is also at the end of the last video.
Comments: Thanks Zinsky. I very much liked the style of yesterday's game-as far as I could tell from the highlights.
Comments: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oMtQOx4-uIk Listen to Trump calling NVDIA CEO and he in turn put him on speaker phone! 😂😂😂 Trump says the only rail guard AI needs is a high IQ president. 😂😂😂 The whole video is good but Trump's bit starts at minute 2.
Comments: Faramarz, He is the coach. I like his style.
Comments: Iran war has resulted in 'strategic inventory shortfalls' of munitions: Pentagon Inspector General's report The Pentagon's Inspector General said in a report released Monday that the Pentagon acknowledged that the war in Iran has resulted in munitions shortfalls. The "munitions expenditure in [Operation Epic Fury] has resulted in strategic inventory shortfalls and revealed industrial base bottlenecks for munitions resupply," including the building of solid rocket motors, explosives and propellants, the report stated. The Defense Department is "working to streamline procurement processes and production lead times, and to stockpile critical materials, components, and selected munitions to respond rapidly to a contingency," the report stated. The information was provided by the Defense Department in written responses sent to the Inspector General on Aug. 26, according to the report. The Defense Department estimated the cost of the war to be $33.4 billion as of June 29, according to the report. The estimate included $7.4 billion of cumulative obligations, $22.3 billion for expended munitions and $3.7 billion in equipment losses, it said. U.S. Central Command reported that Iranian strikes "damaged and destroyed hundreds of buildings and structures" at U.S. bases in the Middle East, according to the report. U.S. diplomatic facilities in the region have also suffered $184 million in damage from Iranian strikes, the report said.
