Comments: As most of here expected, what people wanted/needed has nothing to do with what US/Israel are after. People were used and abused to give the west the excuse to go after their agenda. This will get uglier for the people. I’m not sure what % of people realizing it now but the pain is real and getting worse and the rewards will not come anytime soon.
Comments: A way for Trump to get out of this mess that he has created is to call in sick. :) Hospitalize himself for some illness. He has many. Then instruct Vance to take over and pull the troops back. A month later come back and say that he would not have done it. :) Trump lies all the time. So, this should not be a big stretch for him. Anything else is surely going to destroy both countries and the world economy along with his legacy.
Comments: This is a crucial point on Iran by Chas Freeman, the former US Assistant Secretary of Defense and, relevant to the topic, former US Ambassador to Saudi Arabia (also, incidentally, one of the very rare former senior US officials who's a genuinely thoughtful diplomat as opposed to a sociopathic neocon). What Freeman explains is that Iran's control of Hormuz, which Trump implicitly admitted is beyond the US's ability to contest (by saying in his speech it's not his problem to solve, that "others" should deal with it), will necessarily lead to a reshaping of the regional order in Iran's favor. As Freeman says, "the Gulf Arabs have no alternative but to negotiate with Iran because they cannot survive indefinitely with the Strait of Hormuz closed to their exports." Meanwhile, countries like China, India, Japan, and Turkey have already worked out transit agreements with Tehran - de-facto recognizing Iranian authority over the strait. In effect, Iranian control of Hormuz is now a fait accompli: they control the valve on the single largest concentration of hydrocarbon exports on earth. This is a long-term reality with immense implications. In fact it's such a massive long-term win for Iran that the way the war may ironically be remembered by history is Trump giving Tehran the ideal casus belli to seize control of Hormuz - something the world would have never accepted had they done it unprovoked.
Comments: Israel is about to hit iran railroad system n stations. Iran will most likely retaliate by hitting UAE n KSA harder. As well as Israel power plants. Oil will see $200 a barrel
Comments: Iran responded today by hitting KSA’s largest petrochemical production facility. Used simply 2 ballistic missiles not a single THAAD or anti missile was even fired. Saudis are the worst type of sycophants u can see the video at the link "After its petrochemical hub was attacked by the US and Israel, Iran responded by striking the Saudi industrial hub. Jubail is Saudi Arabia’s main industrial hub and operates with nearly 300 active industries. It produces about 7% of all petrochemicals in the world. SATORP and SASREF together refine 770,000 barrels per day. In addition, there are large-scale dedicated power stations and desalination plants. We are talking about a giant complex of fertilizers, steel, aluminum, and chemical products that suffered a violent Iranian attack today in retaliation for the strike on its own petrochemical complex. All of this is connected to the King Fahd Industrial Port, the main industrial port of the complex, with 34 berths and a confirmed annual capacity of 70 million tons. The attacks today on Iran and the Iranian attacks on Saudi Arabia will directly impact global inflation." https://x.com/pati_marins64/status/2041342188739514469

Comments: Trump says "they have no communication means and so they are communicating with us the old fashion way from 200 years ago. They send notes with children and we send notes back to them" ![[rofl]](https://cdn.websitetoolbox.com/images/boards/smilies/rofl.gif "Rofl - :lol:") This guy is out of his mind!

Comments: I like the Chris Hedges report. It is very credible and always have guests that are also very good. In this episode he talks to Trita Parsi whom I used to think is paid by IRI based on what (I now know) Shahollahis were saying. Now I see that it was just another smearing and character assassination tactics. He is highly educated and very well spoken. The only think that he does not do is that he does not blindly support Israel's agenda which is probably why Shaholahis targeted him. In this episode, e analyses the situation very well. https://youtu.be/dUyJubRB-ek
Comments: Unidentified, sophisticated drones flying over a handful of U.S. military bases could be a warning sign from China, Gordon Chang warned Monday, suggesting Beijing could target the American homeland if the U.S. becomes more involved in its conflict with Iran. "The important point here is that we have had, last month, over four of our important military bases, foreign drones. These drones were large, they were un-hackable, they obviously were not recreational, so some foreign power — probably China, maybe Russia — was operating drones over our critical air force bases," Chang said on "Mornings with Maria." "Really, right now, the United States needs to be able to defend its bases in the homeland because those drone flights were a warning to the United States of some sort," he continued. "China is supporting Russia in Ukraine, and China is supporting Russia in other matters as well… So they have a durable partnership, and anything that helps one of them is going to generally help the other, with the exception of the matter that you just raised," he said, referring to the tension between higher oil prices benefiting Russia while raising costs for China. "Generally speaking, the United States now faces a very powerful combination, and we shouldn’t be doing anything that fuels that combination," he added.
Comments: Here's the latest • Trump’s deadline looms: US President Donald Trump said Iran could be “taken out in one night,” which “might” be Tuesday — a deadline he set for Iran to reopen the Strait of Hormuz. He wouldn’t say whether the war is winding down, calling it a “critical period” that depends on Iran’s actions. • Attacks on infrastructure: Trump reiterated threats to hit all of Iran’s bridges and power plants, claiming the Iranian people would be “willing to suffer” if it eventually secured their freedom. Tehran warned the consequences of such attacks will stretch beyond the region. • Rejected ceasefire proposal: Trump earlier today called a proposal drafted by countries working to implement 45-day ceasefire a “significant step” but “not good enough.” Iran rejected the proposal and called for a permanent end to the war, according to Iranian state-run media.

Comments: Trump threatens to jail journalist to find source of second missing airman report
Comments: This is funny as hell: Trump claims US attempted to send guns to Iranian factionsUS President Donald Trump said Washington attempted to arm certain groups in Iran to fight back against the government. Trump made the comments while speaking to reporters at a White House Easter event but provided minimal details. He did not clarify a timeframe, including under which president the purported weapons transfers took place. "We sent guns, a lot of guns, they were supposed to go to the people so they could fight back against these thugs," Trump claimed while speaking to reporters. "You know what happened? The people that they sent them to kept them." He added: "So I'm very upset with a certain group of people, and they're going to pay a big price for that." Trump reiterated his belief that the Iranian people would "fight back" against the Islamic Republic authorities if they could obtain guns.
