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

Anyone that is okay with Iran charging tolls to use the Strait is a complete retard.

If it was a nation like Italy or Chile, sure, we can negotiate some sort of tolling arrangement. This is Iran we are talking about.
 
Pakistan deserves all the shit they're getting and more for tricking Trump into believing this smug piece of shit could ever be negotiated with.

Faggot Pakis love to dicksuck the Iranian regime because they have a massive inferiority complex to it. They want to be a "badass" theocracy that stands up to Israel and the US, but they're a joke of a country that is actively held hostage by it's own military and constantly gets humiliated by a nation of people who eat cow shit. Of course, Iran is none of the things Pakis believe it to be, and that they admire another idiotic failed state says a lot about mujeets as a people.

Iran repeatedly makes pie in the sky proposals that in no way show any good-faith efforts. You have to kill them all unfortunately.
I say unfortunately because its going to be a pain in the ass to reduce the IRGC into street thugs and take out everyone capable of technical ability.
 
Can some summarize imported things happened today and yesterday?
F-15 WSO still missing.
Trump reminded everyone of that 48-hour energy infrastructure deadline. Israel is 100% on-board and just waiting for the green light.
Iran said Iraq is allowed to use the Strait, even though they already had permission from all previous information. Likely just Iran trying to convince Trump to postpone the power strikes again.
America told Israel that talks with Iran had completely collapsed (i.e., they were never in good faith to begin with).
Israel and America struck an Iranian petrochemical plant and one of their Iraqi militias.
Trump posted a clip of multiple IRGC commanders getting smoked from a couple of days ago.

Charge a toll for what? It's not a canal that they are maintaining, it's a natural formation, and Iran only borders one side of it anyway, the other side is attached to Oman or whatever.
This is extortion, regardless of which country is imposing it.
 
The following is from Middle East Spectator, do not assume it's 100% accurate.

Conflicting reports, there are now reports of American helicopters flying in the area of Sateh, between Shahrekord and Dehdaz, along with the firing of flares to locate the pilot.

MES claims the pilot has been located.

Local sources report that during the ongoing search operation for the missing pilot, United States fighter jets attacked an unidentified group (IRGC or local Basij forces) that were attempting to approach the probable location of the pilot and bombed the group's position. The bombing location is the southern side of "Black Mountain" located in Kohgiluyeh and Boyer-Ahmad Province.

IRGC units have been bombed by the USAF in the area.
 
WSJ, so take it with a massive grain of salt, but it looks like Trump's admin has completely run out of patience.
Wouldn't be surprised if the UAE and SA were included in that group, urging him that everything in the country can be considered a dual-use target.

Any excuse to bomb Arab goatfuckers is a valid one.
 
Lmao based I hope some footage comes out.
It's the middle of the night there in bumfuck nowhere Iran so don't expect anything better than the black video of the sound of Blackhawks flying I posted. Hopefully CENTCOM posts the rescue footage.

MES posted this. Again, do not assume it is 100% accurate.

Clashes between Basijis (Iranian paramilitary & armed civilians) and American special forces. There are several martyrs according to the Governor of Kohgiluyeh-Boyer Ahmad Province. Clashes taking places somewhere in the circle.
END OF IRANIAN PROPAGNDA

PJs are in the area attempting to rescue the pilot. Heavy clashes are on going.

I just feel like putting the option out there since I have seen it mentioned: I don't think patience has anything to do with it. Trump is extremely impatient, but it's irrelevant to the thought process here.

The behind the scenes reality is that he (and Israel, obviously) is not looking for a peace deal. The conflict kicked off with them pretending they were just to surprise attack them instead. Nothing has changed.

But it's rhetorically useful to pretend he's seeking peace and the Iranians aren't cooperating. That gives them more "justification" for the phase that's starting now of attacking lots of critical civilian infrastructure.

Since when in the past 5 decades have Iranians truly been negotiating in good faith with America? The war is a massive fucking drag for everything else he wants to accomplish. Trump is one of the more ambitious presidents we’ve had, the most ambitious since Reagan. By your own imputed description he wants the cheapest off ramp possible if we grant that he’s impatient and also even slightly rational, the latter of which is undeniable. The Iranians aren’t providing a viable way out for an Islamic Republic, they’re interested in going down with the ship and attempting to test if strategic bombing can collapse the reversion to this new breed of piracy they’re testing out.
 
the irgc are persians not arab. the arabs are the ones we're trying to rally into a mutiny.
They're both arab and persion and other groups. Their uniting feature is being extremely, fanatically shia muslim, in opposition to the now mostly secularised or non-muslim majority of the country.
 



Scenes from southern Israel amid the Iranian missile attack. The IDF says an Iranian ballistic missile struck an "open area" in southern Israel "according to protocol." No injuries have been reported.

You're not understanding my point here and any judgment of the Iranians is besides that point anyways. My position is that the goal of Netanyahu and Trump from day one is, as Hegseth said, to "bomb them into the stone age". There's a small chance they could've got a popular uprising and regime change, but it was always remote and it didn't happen.

Their goal, therefore, is just to absolutely demolish everything in the country. The military capabilities first and foremost, of course, but beyond that, even the civilian infrastructure that is important for rebuilding anything military related, as well as just generally keeping the country functional and with a growing economy. They want them, again, in the stone age.

So, to go back to the previous post, I'm saying that the Trump admin is, whatever you think of Iran, not operating in "good faith". Assume Iran isn't either, it changes nothing. But attacking civilian infrastructure is bad optics. However, consider the logic for nuking Japan civilians: "Well, they just weren't negotiating or surrendering. We had no other choice!". Same idea.
