Well, this isn't the year 1425, calling for outside sponsors and/or your loving subjects to fight to put you back on your rightful throne is not exactly considered normal behavior anymore. But I doubt he'd say no to running for election if/once a non-theocratic transitional government is in place, he's likely got the money & the backers (he's hugely popular with the generally well-off Iranian diaspora, after all) to win and it doesn't look like there are many well-known civil democratic leaders in Iran who can seriously compete with him. And if he gets the post-Mullah presidency or prime minister's office or whatever, well, who knows where he can go from there - but backward to becoming Shah would surely be a possibility, regardless of what he says for public consumption now.

It wouldn't even be the first time this sort of thing happened, post-Communist Bulgaria once made their former king PM. Although he ended up not restoring his throne in that case, who knows with Reza Pahlavi.

CONGRESS SEEKS TO LIMIT TRUMP’S POWER ON IRAN STRIKES
"Rep. Thomas Massie has introduced a bill requiring Trump to get congressional approval before launching attacks on Iran.The bill directs Trump to “terminate” any unauthorized military action.A matching Senate measure was also introduced yesterday.Though a Trump veto is likely, supporters say it raises pressure on the administration from anti-war voices in Congress."

News piece. It says that Trump still wants the strikes to continue for now.

Has Massie ever done a single thing that’s helpful? Being a libertarian doesn’t mean sitting there like a bump on a log twiddling your thumbs all day when you get into a seat of power.

He is so talented he can determine the sex of the pilot before he destroys airplanes. He spares only the female women girl pilots (they captured a female jew pilot by the way) (she is a woman).

This youtube video is retarded and he does not know what he is talking about. You do not win a war by sitting in a tunnel. You win by winning.
There is no need to go into these tunnels when there are still people in them. You seal the exists and kill them when they come out like rats.

ISRAELI INTELLIGENCE SHOWED IRAN IS WORKING ON A TRIGGER USEFUL FOR A NUCLEAR BOMB - WSJ.

**WSJ:
> Before launching its attack on Iran last week, Israel provided the U.S. with intelligence it deemed alarming: Tehran was conducting renewed research useful for a nuclear weapon, including on an explosive triggering system.
>
> But U.S. officials briefed by the Israelis weren’t convinced that the information pointed to a decision by Tehran to build a bomb, according to a senior intelligence official, another U.S. official and two congressional aides familiar with the discussions. **

You said it was neutral. Jewish people cannot be neutral when Israel is involved. They have an inherent conflict of interests which prevents them from being truly neutral.

But if you want another explanation. ChatGPT and other LLMs scrape for information off of the internet. Mostly Western news sites when we're talking about specific events. These articles include the narrative pushed by Israel. Even if the site is actually neutral, they still include them. AI is uncritical of its training data. It cannot read between the lines, speculate, or recognize lies or contradictions in its training data. It is purely input and output. That is why deferring your thinking to LLM is Indian behavior. It's retarded.

You'll be surprised how antisemitic I've gotten ChatGPT to be at times. You have to lead the discussions in a certain way and build to a point, but it's been based on more than a few occasions. Honestly, any LLM will give based takes depending on how long you use it, what you feed into it, et cetera. Of course, this comes with its own issues, so tread carefully, and for God's sake, never use them as confessionals.

First publication: Israel estimates that Iranians have about 1800 ballistic missiles.
Click to expand...
But how many TELs/launcher trucks to actually fire them?

The launcher needed to lob a fucking MRBM into near-space and have it come down almost a thousand miles away is much larger than the sort of trucks you can hide anti-ship missiles, SAMs and even now FPV drones in.
We're talking a special-built 18-wheeler style rig made to both carry and raise-up a huge missile, and withstand the blast from launch.

I imagine these aren't as easy to hide and their stockpiles aren't as "deep" as the missiles themselves.
