Iran Crisis & the 2026 War between Iran and the United States, Gulf States, and Israel - Please focus on news and coverage, not argumentation.

odds are they still have a handful and those are real threats

Of course, but i'm skeptical that someone violated law by leaking that.

Welcome back! I'm glad you escaped the glowniggers and PMF after your mission to finally infiltrate the Tomb of Gilgamesh and end Jewish control of the stargate was compromised by Gabe Hoffman

War is profitable. For the corrupt and well informed. Dance; we’re all paying for it.

Oh no who will save us from these traders helping to bring down the price of oil. This is an outrage.

MES:

Speed boats with a DShK on the bow and a couple of dudes with RPGs aren't "fast attack boats" and if that's a navy then the drunk rednecks on the lake this summer is an armada. We've been splashing boats like these in the Caribbean and the Pacific coast of Central America for the past six months, they're only a threat to tankers and freighters.

they are TRUE fast attack craft with mounted anti ship weapons


here is a better visualization showing the multiple kinds


I think THIS is more what you were referring to and while they do have those baston whalers with a heavy machine gun up front thats not what they mean when they show craft kicking up a wake like that in "open" ocean. those are large engines


founda better picture of the boats likely used, you can see the large mounted anti ship weapons on the side


also found a picture where they are used as mobile launch platforms for medium sized drones

Somali pirates will stop all vessels entering the Red Sea!

Except that area is controlled by Somaliland, a state recognized by Israel. In other news I have banned anyone from parking on the street three houses down from me.

Ukraine is so broke they're issuing Luger pistols now apparently:

Look at how they massacred my boy.

We are moving assets to do so presently and reloading for the next wave of IRGC blind flailing.

[Snekposter]

This feels like a fucking pre-Kai arc

Shit's taking too damn long

Not a fan of the episode-long charge-up sequences as they squat, clench their asscheeks, and yell in pain from how constipated they are?

No, Trump doesn't wnat to spoil the grandre of Bridge and Power Plant Day.

I think we should reserve an Orchastra for it

He should hire the London Philharmonic to play in the background as he does his grand announcement.

Right now, in a shithole far, far away from us...

You're talking about the same suicidal nation where martyrdom means victory. The IRGC will make AI generated dabbing memes when their nukes launch against the Zionist Entity, and they will continue to spam dabbing memes when they get Samson'd in return.

I can't wait for the AI-generated video of their nuclear strike where a Soyuz detonates over Mos Eisley with a ridiculous Looney Tunes sign next to it thanks to them telling the prompt "Wretched hive of scum and villainy that is Tel Aviv".

Let's not forget that the blockade is only one part of the equation. The US Treasury can fuck a country up if they really want to, and they're currently in the process of freezing every single dark money account the regime has, so they can't spend the cash they've already stored.

To quote one Niccolo Machiavelli: "Three things are necessary to wage war: money, money, and yet more money."

What do they need USD for? Why do you think they're taking their toll payments in Yuan? Nobody will need USD when this is over. Sanction away! As the world laughs.

Uncle Sam's annual tax revenue is roughly on par with the entire GDP of Germany.

I'd say I'm sorry to disappoint your dreams of Total Dollar Death, but that would be a lie.

Wait, so did the pajeet tanker that got shot up ('i'm number 2 on your list!!') think it had permission to go because it got scammed?

Fortunately thanks to all these radio communications being in the open even journalists were able to get their hands on them:

So they're stuck with what, passing messages from person to person like Chinese Whispers?

Yes, but you forgot to mention some of the guys passing messages around work for Mossad.

its more complicated than "people wont need usd" its a fundamental attack on why USD is valuable to begin with

quick history/economics lesson

ok 1971, nixon FULLY takes us off the gold standard

Source

ruh ruh, no the dollar isent backed by anything, how do we keep people beliving in the dollar into the future?

enter 1974 and the Petrodollar

Kissinger went to Riyadh and secured a deal where all gulf states would PROMISE to forever only sell their oil ins USDD, not pound sterling, not euros, not yuan, USD only

Source

in no small way this is what has allowed us to have a completely fiat money system, while having no heavy industry yet still controlling the world financial system, we made the gulf countrys promise to make the US currency the only way nations can get vital oil

What did they gulf states get in return? We promised to protect them from any attacks

and as we all know we are kinda fucking up our end of the bargain

 

[teriyakiburns]

All of this fleecing and insider trading is worth it because people want to see gamified videos from Centcom of cool explosions and the demonstration of the US military's newest toys.

OPEC

OPEC has relatively little power to control prices these days, thanks to the shale boom completely throwing the old calculus out of the window, alongside non-OPEC nations increasing production. With Venezuela effectively becoming a US vassal, OPEC's price-controlling power is even more diminished.

Pakistan needs to just bow out at this point for the sake of their own Izzat.

Loss of face demands they double down.

Whatever happens, they have got the Maxim Gun, and the Russians don't.

For fuck's sake just start bombing them again already Donny, I know you want the PR "win" of a diplomatic solution but negotiating with muslims is a lose-lose scenario. Bloodfeast hungers and he must be sated.

Why the fuck aren't they?

Trump won't let them, he's such a freaking jerk!

 

[StudMccool]

No bullshit this is the first trump tweet I unironically dont understand


truly, what did he mean by any of this?

>dosent want is closed
>want it open
>they only say they want it closed
>but people begged me to open it
>but if I do that no deal

WAT

 

[IAmNotAlpharius]

Please try seizing an American ship, I am begging you. Nothing would make Trump spergrage out harder than seizing an American ship. He would make Genghis Khan's Persia campaign look humane and diplomatic in comparison.

Seeing the IRCG being retards makes it clear that Temujin burning it all down was 100% justified. Their izzat led them to be retarded when he just wanted to trade and secure his western flank.

Have a photo from 1978 of a tugboat crew laying a Mark 6 mine of WW1 design vintage by the highly technically advanced means of just rolling it over the side on some rails.

You crazy nigger. Those things are death traps based on a North Korean design. Even Iranians don't deserve to die in one of those claustrophobic steel coffins. Midget subs were of dubious military value even in WW2, with today's ASW technology it's just a temporarily floating suicide booth. The ghost of John Philip Holland is laughing in Irish at those toys.

John Philip Holland, inventor of the first modern submarine. And a friend.

That's not a navy. This is a navy:

Pro tip: actual warships are not made of fiberglass

Those fast attack craft aren't fast enough to escape an F-35 or an F/A-18E/F, and if they ever had a dream in which they fired on a US Navy vessel, they better wake up and apologize before they get turned into a greasy brown stain on the surface of Hormuz.
