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

Islam is such a mental disease that even Communism is less damaging long term.
Communism always falls under the weight of its own failures. Islam is much more durable because it expects people to just accept the system based purely on faith. Once you trick the population into believing in delusion and fairy tales of a pedophile warlord it becomes very difficult to make them turn against their oppressors.
 
Sometime in the next 96 hours Trump will say blah blah blah deadline for the ayatollahs to stop killing protesters/deadline for the ayatollahs to gtfo blah blah blah blah, they will of course say fuck off, the kino will start Friday night into Saturday local time
 
Whatever happens now I just hope the communists don't seize power.

AFAIK this actually is even less likely than the Shah coming back and restoring an absolute monarchy. The original Iranian commies, Tudeh, were completely & utterly buckbroken by the Islamists after the latter outmaneuvered them for power in the aftermath of Mohammad Reza's deposition and are now totally irrelevant. Not only do their remaining party members now live in exile, but they don't even exist as a factor on the ground atm unlike the Iranian monarchists, who at least have long managed to keep some supporters in the streets. There might be plenty of footage of crowds chanting Javid Shah, but I doubt you'll find anyone chanting the Iranian equivalent of 'Workers of the world, unite' in these protests, I certainly haven't.

The second group of commies, the MEK/NCRI (who ironically use the imperial flag even as they denounce the Pahlavis), similarly have no support in Iran proper because they directly fought with Saddam during the Iran-Iraq War and are thus overwhelmingly viewed as traitors. Pahlavi, despite having lived in America for most of his life & supported the Israelis in their own war with Iran last summer, evidently does not share in such opprobrium - I guess the Iranian people hate Israel & 'Murica a lot less than they hate Iraq (must help that Saddam, frankly, waged that much longer war with far greater brutality & incompetence in equal measure compared to Israel in the recent 12-Day War).

The third group of commies are, of course, the Kurdish separatists already discussed previously, who have no interest in ruling Iran in the first place.
 
If Pahlavi doesn't want to be the Shah for some reason I know just the Iranian guy for the job.

The centuries of inbreeding decreasing their IQs sure as shit doesn't help either.
 
While the exiled Shah is a Muslim, he believes in secularization.
Weak sauce. Islam is corrosive to any civilization. Its a complete ideological system that focuses very much on how civil society should be organized. Its very different from other religions like Buddhism and Christianity in its autistic focus towards how society needs to be run. Its not helped by the fact that it is fucking terrible at it too. The only successful Islamic civilizations were the ones that cannibalized former Greek and Roman societies. But after a few hundred years all the built up infrastructure, knowledge, and most important of all Dhimmi civil servants dissappear and all that's left is a failing state trying to run things according to the brain scorched ideas of a pedophile warlord and bandit

Its why Persia was able to be a great civilization for 2,000 years and the moment they became Muslim it's been an irrelevant shithole ever since.
 
Iran has good geography (if you ignore the recent water problems), amazing scientists, engineers and no demographic problems. It can easily compete against jeets in terms of economy.

Yet look where they are now.

The moment ayatollah and IRGC are ACK-ed, Iran can only improve.
 
Isn’t it kinda weird how all of Americas enemies started dying after we partially cracked down on USAID? I know it’s not the only factor but it’s kinda funny in a fucked up way.
There have been US heavy lift aircraft flying from US Bases to the region in a steady Convoy all night. Switching off Transponders as they cross the Atlantic. They're getting setup for something.
It’s crazy how much has happened this year and it’s not even half way through January yet.
man if he really does that it would be unbelievably based

if he returns and gets killed, it would be the most kino martyrs death the world has seen in a very long time, and it would add a huge amount of prestige and legitimacy to the pahlavi dynasty and their future claim to the throne of iran.

if he returns and lives, he would be in a great position to assume leadership over the uprising. the heir of mohammed reza shah returning to iran to challenge the heir of ruhollah khomeini, it't absolute kino.
He needs to man up. He’s got the perfect opportunity as long as he doesn’t fuck up.
Even if Trump does not accept this is already peak Aloging.
it’d be hilarious to think of the seething
 
I can't say for right now, but I do know that historically the Artesh (military) has long hated the IRGC. While they barely get ammunition and other vital supplies, the Guard Corps gets the newest tech and best treatment. The army is still rolling with upgraded Pattons and Chieftains as the latest Tigr's went to the IRGC, and the Air Force made do with F-14's and F-5's while the GC got SU-25's. If there was any time for that long-held resentment to come out, it would be now.
Well its because the artesh couldn't/can't be trusted. It's similar to the NKVD and the Red Army. However, it is important to remember that in Iran, there is mandatory conscription, but these soliders aren't given access to anything "super critical" (secured com networks and the like). But one has to remember the goals of each group. The Artesh is set up to protect the nation from invasion from Iraq or the USA or the USSR or whoever, while the IRGC is set up to protect and EXPORT the revolution. There are whole neighborhoods in Tehran, for example, that are under the control and protection of the IRGC, where they check your id on the way in and out (ask me how I know).

The Iranians are not the arabs nor are they indians. When the ayatoolah and the IRGC get ACK-ed they will realistically pivot back towards Israel as they see the whole Palestine/Israeli bullshit as Arab crap that they don't need to bother themselves with (and historically Jews and Persians have been close since Cyrus the Great). With Persia back in power, watch as the importance of the Arabs wanes once again. Seriously, what does KSA bring to the table that Iran can't do better? The only major Gulf nation that isn't fucked is the UAE, and that's because they learned that if they want to succeed, they need to stop being arab shieks and start being businessmen. Iran's water issues can easily be solved with Israeli tech and Iranian improvements/manpower. My question is what will happen to Iraq after the IRGC and the ayatollah get "craned".

Actually they didn't learn, the British in the 1960s forced out all the sheikhs and replaced them with buisnessmen before they fucked off in '71

Iraq, Lebanon, Yemen, Afghanistan, Tajikistan* and all other shitholes Hezbollah and Houthis are involved in, to be honest

*- Tajikistan doesn't have a problem with violent mudslime monkeys, it has issues, one being more and more dependent on China (and Russia), other is that it is two countries in one state - one are Sunni retards in the Western half and Shia Ismaili Pamiris in the eastern half that are being discriminated and constantly fucked over by the turkroach rapebaby in charge called Enomali Rahmon. Why am I telling this? Because Tajikistan used to be an integral part of the Persian Empire, to this day they speak Persian, it's the only post-Soviet state in the Central Asia that isn't Turkic. Post-Islamist Iran should get interested in it, especially the second half.
