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

Oh, I'm sorry. It actually makes perfect logical sense to desperately attack friendly third party Muslim nations's civilian infrastructure in retaliation for the US and Israel striking you. Surely that will cause chaos in the region and not just cause everyone to resent you. It worked out so well strategically for them too, didn't it? Just like all of Iran's "strategies". We happen to know it especially pissed off the UAE in particular and look at the news that just dropped. Saudi Arabia didn't especially take kindly to it, either.

Venezuela could have completely prevented what happened if only they started shooting missiles at Colombia and Brazil, what were they thinking?

Go suck BRIC elsewhere, retard. You were probably fully on board with the same inbred line of reasoning that came up with the plan in the first place.

What reason is there for attacking the civillian infrastructure of these middle eastern nations? Hitting US or Israeli military installations I can understand, it's a war, but please enlighten me on what possibly gave Iran a reason to do that? Because any positive gain you could possibly see is outweighed by the fact that these nations are gonna get pissed at Iran for fucking with them and quite understandably want nothing to do with them.
EDIT: damnit i'm a nigger and i got sniped by the post above me lmao

None of those countries are friendly with Iran, they're friendly with the US/Israel. They host military bases for us for fucks sake, so I'm not sure where you got the idea that they see Iranians as allies.

And they weren't attacking them until we started dropping bombs on them, including bombing of their civilian infrastructure (and schools lol oopsie). But we're all shocked pikachu that they respond in kind to our "gulf allies"? Our gulf allies which have been funding ISIS and al-Qaeda for decades, by the way.

Do none of you retards understand cause and effect? We started the shit, do you really expect no response? Or are they only supposed to respond in a way that is easy for us to counter? What sense does that make?

The real reason Iran attacked its neighbors is that it has only limited missiles that can reach Israel and none at all that can reach the US. So it could either strike out wildly at the targets it could hit or simply absorb strategic bombing from the US for a month while doing nothing and show the whole world it was toothless.

The head of the National Saffron Council, complaining about the international internet outage, says: These restrictions have dealt a heavy blow to exporters; because the lack of internet has caused many exporters to be unable to communicate with international customers or send their goods on time.
Mohsen Ehtesham emphasizes: This situation has created a new opportunity for foreign competitors like Afghanistan, and they register and offer Iranian saffron in the global market under their own name.
Ehtesham says: Unfortunately, exporters recently, following the internet outage, did not have direct contact with international customers, they couldn't even talk to them or be sure whether the goods had reached them or not. This issue not only limited exports but also reduced the position of Iranian saffron in the global market.
Exactly two months have passed since the unprecedented internet outage in Iran, and depriving Iranians of this citizenship right has caused serious and, in some cases, irreparable damage to the livelihood, economy, and the mental and emotional well-being of the people.

Iran has been relying on cash crops like saffron and pistachios to bring in foreign currency but now they can't sell them due to no internet and a blockade.

The rift that had previously begun within the principlist movement turned into a media battle that continues to this day with the republication of a note on Tasnim News Agency.

Tasnim News Agency, affiliated with the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, published on April 25, 2026, in the "Other Media News" section an article titled "People's Empowerment in the Streets / What Lies Behind Negotiations with the U.S.?"; a note emphasizing that negotiations with the U.S. should not be seen as the ultimate solution and that "the power of the people in the streets" can be Iran's main backing in the talks.

Part of this note stated, "...some raise demands resembling a magic bean, from lifting all sanctions to a general ceasefire across the entire resistance front..."

These two conditions, referred to as the "magic bean" in the note republished by Tasnim, were among the demands of Mojtaba Khamenei, the third leader of the Islamic Republic, for ending the war.

The note "People's Empowerment in the Streets / What Lies Behind Negotiations with the U.S.?" was republished shortly after by Mashregh website, close to the principlists. However, after protests escalated, both media outlets removed the note.

Afterwards, Rajanews accused Tasnim of indirectly preparing the media ground for a return to negotiations with the U.S. and accused the agency of distancing itself from the previous positions of the so-called "Resistance Front."

In response, Tasnim published a note titled "Points About a Magical Lie Against Tasnim," stating that the discussed article was only published in the media republishing section, was not the official stance of the agency, and was removed hours later due to misunderstandings.
Tasnim also, without directly naming Rajanews, referred to "a small group" that, according to this media, is trying to undermine Tasnim's positions and create division within the principlist movement through "psychological operations."

In another note titled "Rajai's Way or Kashmiri's Method?" addressed to Rajanews, Tasnim wrote: "Hypocrisy, political games, sowing discord, and completing the enemy's puzzle, if not Kashmiri's method, are at least not Rajai's way! The name of Martyr Rajai is linked with sincerity, piety, love of Islam, respect for the grand religious authorities, and national unity."

Another part of this note said: "If Kashmiri's method, which was assassination of individuals, is reprehensible and condemnable; character assassination is no less than physical assassination; for God said the honor of a believer is higher than even the Kaaba."

Rajanews is a website close to the Stability Front, run by Meysam Nili Ahmadabadi, a former member of the Stability Front's central council.
@VahidHeadline
Tasnim News Agency, affiliated with the IRGC, criticized Rajanews, a supporter of Saeed Jalili, reporting that in recent weeks "suspicious movements to undermine unity in Iran" have taken shape, serious traces of "infiltration and suspicious activities" have been seen, and "recently some have even been arrested in this regard."

This IRGC-affiliated media described the "Rajanews" site, supporter of Saeed Jalili, as an "organized and suspicious movement" that has resorted to "sowing discord" and is completing Trump's project.
Rajanews, owned by Meysam Nili, brother-in-law of Ebrahim Raisi, is currently very close to the Stability Front.
Rajanews also responded to this Tasnim article by stating it will file a complaint against this IRGC-affiliated media.

My fucking sides. "DO NONE OF YOU REEEE-TARDS UNDERSTAND CAUSE AND EFFECT" he screams with tears in his eyes, while arguing for targeting civilian infrastructure of uninvolved third party Muslim nations. Surely this is a great outcome for Iran, considering the UAE is now leaving OPEC, Qatar has expelled Hamas, and if the rumors are to be believed Saudi Arabia has made a lot of interesting offers behind the scenes and are taking an extremely staunch anti-Iranian stance. Could things have perhaps gone differently had they not launched as many missiles at Qatar as they did at Israel? On top of that their strikes were limp noodle nonsense desperate flailing that were just going to piss people off rather than having any impact whatsoever.

Maybe they could, I dunno, target those military bases you mentioned instead of civilian infrastructure? Maybe they would have more sympathy and solidarity from neighboring countries to maintain the status quo or support in ending the conflict rather than sperging out at them and blowing up hotels? Just a thought, Groyperboy.

You don't understand the civilian infrastructure got in the way, and besides it isn't the Iranian government's fault that their gunners are trained to aim at civilian infrastructure and even if it was it only happened because of the US and Israel, all they had to do was not start the war by decapitating Iranian leadership.

Israel sent the United Arab Emirates an Iron Dome air defense system with troops to operate it early in the war with Iran, two Israeli officials and one U.S. official tell Axios.

Still can't believe Iran caused this.

it's understood that there is a reason for everything, but the obvious thing here is that their reasoning was wrong.

"when the great satan and little satan strike, inshallah, we will turn every neighbor into a determined enemy" was not their reasoning. they reasoned that there would be a revolution and uprising against isreal and US. this was a delusional conclusion on the part of the iranians. it demonstrates how out of touch and simply unintelligent the iranian leadership class is.

if you say, 'well they were mosaiced, what can you do about rogue missileers', that drives the point home that they are not a real nation with a real military, they are merely terrorists with, until recently, vast wealth, as a result of their corruption. until recently as a result of the united states.

the logic of the islamic revolution and iranian strategy is deeply flawed and originates from a culture of magical thinking, narrowmindedness, and their cruel religious ambitions.

i don't know why you would present it otherwise

The cause and effect should be obvious to literally anyone. It's like when you were a kid in school and people goad on the "special" kid. Eventually, he goes into a tard rage and attacks everything in his path. The middle east is basically an elementary school classroom in this way.

Yes, I understand the reason the IRGC is cutting off its nose to spite its face. It thinks it can dig in its heels in a who can be retarded longer contest with Trump, that it can win such a contest. It thinks winning this contest will result in a fait accompli for the GCC where they will have to accept the Shiite Islamic revolution holding mastery over them. This reason is foolish because 1) it can't win who a can be retarded longer contest with Trump, and 2) the fait accompli is a fake and gay dream even if it could. The GCC are much richer than Iran and are now more determined than ever to never be buttboys to a bunch of Shiites in Tehran
 
Iran chants Death to (Most powerful and belligerent military nation on Earth and their main ally within local region) for decades.
Iran funds terrorism against (Most powerful and belligerent military nation on Earth and their main ally within local region) for decades.
Iran gets attacked by (Most powerful and belligerent military nation on Earth and their main ally within local region).
-Chain of cause and effect begins here-

Listen, if you decide to be enemies with stronger people who like to fight, it might cause your to be in a fight as an effect, and you are a retard.
 
I'm bored with muh school. Obviously the US and Israel hit over 17,000 non-school targets to cover their real aim, to bomb 1 school. They thought it was a good plan, but non-sheeple (((noticed))) anyway!

They struck countries that help them handle their money and spent shittons lobbying on their behalf to the west. It's simply not a rational or strategically sound response. The strait and the attacks on energy infrastructure have a legible rationale to them. Spinning around lobbing missiles at shopping malls and airports like a boss from ikaruga is fucking retarded and ruins the tightly controlled deterrence strategy they should have run.

The IRGC leadership and the Ayatollah still think it's the 80s and that jihadism is seen as cool and hip when that shit is seen as lame and cringe by most muslims in the Gulf under the age of 40. They've seen what happens when you kill yourself attacking The Great Satan and getting your country fucked for decades after isn't a great outcome. They've also become far more Westernized thanks to smartphones and widespread internet access so they've seen how the West lives and want to emulate that. I fully believe that the Ayatollah and the IRGC higher ups thought that they could start a reverse Arab Spring by attacking everyone around them and shocked that didn't happen. Now we're seeing Gulf countries working with the Zionist Entity and an expansion of the Abraham Accord.

Or Iran was tricked by agents of the (((Zionist Entity))) who are secretly controlling the Ayatollah to go full tard mode to unite the Middle East and make them accept that (((Israel))) is a legitimate state.
