Comments: U.S./Trump are going back to sanctions and economical pressure after the war didn’t pan out as they hoped. Unfortunately, Iranians will pay the price. There seems to be no end to this madness!
Comments: TEHRAN, Iran (AP) — Tehran’s grocery stores are well-stocked, but many families can barely afford the basics. Unemployment is soaring and those with jobs are working more hours for money worth half as much as a year ago, putting food, medicine and everything else — except for heavily subsidized gasoline — further out of reach. “We have virtually given up on many things,” said Ahmad Karimi, 52, a taxi driver and father of two who has been working 15-hour days to make ends meet. “We’re cutting out fruit, we’re cutting out protein, we’ve given up leisure, we even work on weekends." Nearly six months into the war with the United States and Israel, the Iranian economy is taking a beating under the force of sanctions and a naval blockade that is making it extremely difficult for the country to export oil, its most valuable product. Whether this intensifying economic pressure will translate anytime soon into military or political concessions from Iran remains to be seen — but some experts are skeptical. Since the war began, Iran has been attacking oil-rich neighbors and U.S. bases in the region, and disrupting shipping in the Strait of Hormuz, its biggest strategic advantage. Iran is trying to use this retaliatory pressure — which is driving up energy prices globally — to bring the war to an end on the best terms possible. It is pressing for sanctions relief, and seeking enough control over the strait to demand payment from ships passing through to deliver energy and other goods.
Comments: all this turkey israel conflict is a smoke screen. turkiye is one of the best partners israel has.
Comments: agha zinsky I agree. The only solution is for Iran to be strong so others do not push it around. as much as i hate the mollahs, they have made iran strong and respected. pahlavi madarjendeh already has signed tajziye azarbaijan.

Comments: Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz issued a stark warning to Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan early Thursday, accusing him of dragging Turkey into "dangerous adventures in Syria" and warning the Turkish leader not to test Israel’s resolve. "Israel will not allow any actor to threaten its security," Katz wrote on X. "It would be better for Erdoğan to continue his detached-from-reality, fanciful rhetoric against Israel in the Turkish Grand National Assembly than to attempt to test Israel's determination to defend itself." The warning comes two days after Israel struck Syria’s Abu al-Duhur Airbase. The increasingly heated rhetoric has put Washington in the position of trying to contain tensions between Turkey, a NATO member, and Israel, Washington’s closest security partners in the Middle East. Israel said Syria was on the verge of breaching a security understanding by allowing Turkish troops to deploy there, while Ankara rejected Israel’s account. Syria said there were no plans for a permanent Turkish base or troop deployment, although Syrian Foreign Minister Asaad al-Shaibani acknowledged that Turkish military officers had visited the facility for training and exchanges of expertise. Turkey’s Defense Ministry said no Turkish military delegation was present at the base before or during the strike, Reuters reported. On Wednesday, Turkey called these allegations from Israel "untenable," arguing that they are "intended to legitimize Israel’s unlawful airstrikes targeting Syria’s sovereignty and territorial integrity. The imputations voiced stem from Netanyahu’s intent to pursue expansionist and destabilizing policies in the region ahead of the elections in Israel," Turkey's government said in a social media post.
Comments: Iran hasn’t had an independent system/country for at least 200 years, maybe more. It’s been either the west or the east (mostly west until recently). Reality is that Iran lost its power years ago and with it lost land. We can blame this or that but that is the reality most of us don’t like to admit. The question is not who to blame but look at ourselves and try to understand why we ended up needing one side or another to rely on. Reality is that most of the world fell into the same category. With US on one side and Soviet Union on the other side, most countries had to choose. After WW1 and WWII, independent became impossible. The only way to be able to survive was and still is to take sides. Soviet Union claps and now china is the side to look at. The best countries in the world are the ones who accepted this reality but did their best to help their country and the people. Countries are just an imaginary lines separating them from their neighbors. What matters the most is the wellbeing of the people. Of course it is crucial not to lose land but what is land without prosperous citizens? To judge a government one has to look at the people living there. With IRI, we might have kept the land but lost the people! This is the price countries pay if they don’t want to play the game. World is a replica of the people living in it. The strong WILL force the rest to obey, one way or another!
Comments: Trump's Economic D-Day Threat Over Iran Branded A 'Complete S**t Show'
Comments: The worst is the apologist today claiming there was nothing in Bahrain, no oil, no gas. Fucking Monarchists are the worse type people I have come across
Comments: What a MFing puppet government pahlavi was. 😡
Comments: Based on my own opinion, there are 3 groups of people when it comes to IRI. 1- Hardcore supporters: they benefit from the system financially or ideologically. 2- Hardcore haters: they want them gone at all costs. 3- the rest who in my opinion are the majority. They are not pro IRI by any means but understand war, more sanctions and destroying the country is not the best solution for average man and woman. Unfortunately, the 1st group (possibly about 15-20% of the population) are being supported and protected by the system. They can be as loud as they want and do and say whatever they want. The 2nd group are doing their best to fight the system but are working underground. They used to have the support of the majority of the 3rd group but for now, they have been pushed back and can’t do much! The 3rd group are mostly quiet. They are being attacked by 1st and 2nd group no matter what they do or say.
Comments: “ Not sure it is as simple as iri supporters vs iri haters” In the case of those i mentioned, they are IRI supporters. These are people who are coming out nightly asking for revenge for the “rahbar”! That is what I’ve been told by my family back home. These are not people who are supporting Iran and against war that has been imposed on them.

Comments: From the link Reza just posted:  این نقشه مربوط به سال ۱۳۴۱، بحرین را به‌عنوان بخشی از کشور شاهنشاهی ایران نشان می‌دهد؛ در همان نقشه، چاه‌های نفت، مراکز استخراج و پالایشگاه نفت هم دیده می‌شود. اما چند سال بعد، بحرین از ایران جدا شد. سؤال تاریخی همچنان پابرجاست: چرا حکومتی که خود را مدافع تمامیت ارضی ایران می‌دانست، در برابر جدایی بحرین ایستادگی نکرد؟ ممکن است درباره شرایط سیاسی و بین‌المللی آن دوران استدلال‌های مختلفی مطرح شود؛ اما از نگاه منتقدان محمدرضا پهلوی، این تصمیم یکی از تلخ‌ترین نمونه‌های عقب‌نشینی تاریخی در برابر فشارهای خارجی بود؛ تصمیمی که نتیجه‌اش از دست رفتن سرزمینی شد که در اسناد و نقشه‌های رسمی ایران، استان بحرین نامیده می‌شد. بحرین فقط یک جزیره نبود؛ بخشی از تاریخ و جغرافیای ایران بود. منبع: https://collections.lib.uwm.edu/digital/collection/agdm/id/36409/rec/28
Comments: Naghshe ostan Bahrain https://www.instagram.com/reel/DcP4UijMoEe/ What a fuckin idiotic thing to do, giving away our sovereign land to appease the British
Comments: Yes, we will have to see how things will turn out after the war. If IRI is able to permanently lift the sanctions and if that starts affecting the common people's economy, I suspect there wont be as many people against the government. Some will still remain where they are now. RPG supporters definitely will not move.
Comments: Not sure it is as simple as iri supporters vs iri haters n not sure everyone who carries a flag is an iri supporter. RPG fans like to present it that way. But they may be simply rallying around the flag for the country. I think there was a large portion who were in the middle not happy with the government. Many of these are now rallying around the flag because they are being bombed and iri is defending them.
Comments: Iran says effort to clean oil spill on Strait of Hormuz island boosted as more reaches shores Iran has bolstered efforts to clean up an oil spill along the shores of Qeshm Island in the Strait of Hormuz, according to environmental authorities cited by the country's semi-official ISNA news agency. Ahmad Reza Lahijan-Zadeh, deputy head of the Department of Environment for Marine and Wetland Affairs, said authorities had mobilized additional resources for the clean-up. He said while much of the oil had been dealt with in recent days, a new wave of the slick was just reaching the island's shores. Last week, the head of the environment agency, Shina Ansari, appeared to demand compensation for the oil spill, saying a foreign bulk carrier was likely the source. In a post on X, Ansari said the slick was "just one example of the widespread pollution that has destroyed the region's marine ecosystem over the past few decades." "Who is responsible for compensating for the damages inflicted — is it the energy-consuming countries that import from our region, or the aggressor parties that have turned this area into a playground for military operations?" she asked.
Comments: This war has emboldened the supporters of IRI and suppressed the opposition completely. Every night thousands of supporters gather in streets between 9PM till midnight waving flags and chanting slogans in support of IRI. The voices of others have been silenced due to fear and intimidation. This is of course not sustainable with the economical crisis but for now, it is helping IRI. Average citizen is suffering but has no outlet.
Comments: Check out the people in the stadiums. Before this war the stadiums were closed to people in fear of riots. In a bizarre way, Trump helped the Iranian government a ton.
