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

I think they left it behind on purpose. I would do that.

I wouldn’t be shocked if the boxers were left there as a meme

Does look out of place, can't see them carrying this as mission critical equipment.

The heroism and daring of our finest, and what they have achieved over the weekend, will live on for eternity. every man ever born with the capacity for greatness in them will as little boys watch the movies hollywood will make about it, and wish that they could have been there, death or glory for their fallen brother. Happy easter.

p.s also we just pulled up the moon

But seriously, that photo looks fake as fuck. Don't they wear camouflage underwear?
If they don't they really should, because imagine you lose your fucking flight suit when you land, what color underwear should you wear? OH I KNOW, FUCKING STAR SPANGLED UNDERWEAR!
Ridiculous...

No, that's one I guarantee isn't fake. SOF guys will unironically buy shit like American flag boxers because they think having it is both patriotic and hilarious as fuck.

President Trump told ABC News that the Iran War should be over in days, not weeks.
It should be wrapped up in days because no sane group of people could stand the punishment that's going to rain down on them if it's not.

I appreciate his candor, but "sane" is the operative word here.

Lame how I'm gonna have to wait until so late in the day to see the kino, but I understand him wanting to wait until markets close.

 

[Mr. Racewar1488]

Taking a thirdie on a vehicle tour through the boneyard should do the same thing. The scope of the US military is nearly unfathomable. From a technological standpoint, we could maintain this level of losses, well, forever. There is nothing Iran can do militarily to make America stop.

Literally miles of aircraft. The Boneyard isn't like the Russians ones where they leave aircraft to rot and get over grown with weeds. The aircraft are shrinkwrapped and preserved until they're either needed or slated for salvage. We've already replaced the KC-135s they damaged with ones that were sent here awhile ago. There's also E-3s sitting there so we can replace the one Iran destroyed on the tarmac.


Iranian Parliament Speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf:

Your reckless moves are dragging the United States into a living HELL for every single family, and our whole region is going to burn because you insist on following Netanyahu’s commands.

Make no mistake: You won’t gain anything through war crimes.

The only real solution is respecting the rights of the Iranian people and ending this dangerous game.

First MES got arrested and now Mediterranean Man is under investigation by the FBI:

Because I actually have to write a serious post about it, this is it.

Recently, as I watching Beastars, the Final Season, part two, I get an email from Google saying, hey, you were under investigation by the FBI, we could not actually you tell about it because there was a gag order but now its lifted so now we can tell you.

I thought this has to be a scam email, so I ask for a subpoena and they actually give it to me, its four pages and I was such a very naughty boy that a Federal Grand Jury wanted to know everything about me.

How I got myself on an FBI watchlist, me, Med Man, Cairo Denizen and Telegram shitposter, before "Based Hitler1488Rapist" or "MaoRules69" is actually beyond me, I think the Feds realized I was more of a threat than some larpers on the internet.

I was curious as to why the FBI wanted to know literally everything about me, and by everything I mean everything, every single SMS, every text, every email, every website i have ever been to, all my addresses, all my financial information, etc etc

Did the FBI want my secret stash of Sisi goon? Did an FBI agent read my books and wanted to ban me from ever visiting the United States because they think I am an actual war criminal?

Honestly, I have no idea, even after reading the 4 pages of this subpoena I do not even know what I was suspected of.

Attached is 1 page of the four where the Federal Grand Jury was bullying the Custodian of records of Google to show up to court about case so and so at this exact date so he can give them all my dirty laundry.

Worst case scenario is what, I get banned from visiting the United States? Why would I ever want to go to America besides maybe three or four states? half of it is a shithole anyway.

Now, I am not mad, seriously, so what if the FBI has access to all my google search history and my financial information and my name and addresses and whatever? am I a threat to the US with my 13 dollars and a peanut in my wallet? Oooo, Scary, what are they going to do, ban me from ever going to America? Oooo Noo, I am never eating GoySlop OG from MacDonalds, my ggggggggggoooooooodddd, this is so sad.

They think I am funding terrorism, with what? love and kisses? beats me, but yes, this is it.

20:38 Defenses in the east of Tehran were activated

20:38 The sound of an explosion can be heard in Tehran, Tehran-Pars and it is close.

President Trump told ABC News that the Iran War should be over in days, not weeks.

Again, while I appreciate the optimism, shit like this is why I wish Trump would quit acting like a fucking carnival barker, because the only realistic way I see this happening is if he tells the Israelis, "they clearly won't stop being a bunch of greasy crabs, go ahead and take out the rest of their leadership while we nuke their military posts." The last 48 hours is the most aggressive we've seen this operation being conducted in several days now. Without a pretty dramatic shift in tactics and logistics, I just don't know how you get from here to there with that kind of relatively short timeline.

Just to clarify, time now is 20:55 Tehran time so this is basically real-time reporting.

Some observations from my end, forgive the wall of text, most has probably been posted before but I find it useful to get my thoughts out of my head and into writing.

• To rebuild what we've lost in the war would probably take 3-5 years (stockpiles of ammo, missiles, etc., air/seacraft would take longer obviously), assuming we actually wanted to and Congress funds it, otherwise it could take longer
• For Iran to rebuild, or to generate enough excess GDP to purchase what we destroyed, will probably take at least10 years
  • There are various factors that could exacerbate this--if we hit more critical infrastructure such as electrical grids or desalination plants (add +5-10 years if that happens...)
  • If the people we've assassinated were at the forefront of their fields and were actually useful in their countries technological development
  • If a civil war or balkanization kicks off
• Point being, it'll probably take Iran 2-4x longer to rebuild than us, and in between that time we could just bomb their shit again
• I don't think Iran even has that long because they've fucked themselves on their water situation (pistachios, seriously?)
• Iran's ability to project outside of its borders has been neutralized completely, even before this it was obvious that their relationship with their proxies was tenuous at best
• There's a saying--a rising tide raises all boats, essentially meaning that the size of the pie is not fixed, that world economics is not a zero sum game
  • The reverse is also true, the pie can shrink, and the relative shrinking is something that people do not think of
  • In this case, the pie is guaranteed to shrink, if you remove 20% of the worlds energy input there is no other option than to shrink, at least temporarily
  • So, proportionally, who is going to shrink the most? Obviously it will be countries that rely on energy that transits the straight of Hormuz
  • So while the pie is going to shrink, America's share of the pie will probably go up as a %, so even if American GDP declines, it will be a much smaller % compared to other countries, this is extremely important to remember
  • The other part is that energy input per unit of GDP is not the same for every country, a 20% decline in energy input for America is not the same as a 20% decline for China/India/Iran/etc.
  • They are not as efficient as us so it hits them harder, see chart below
  • 
  • This also doesn't cover how a 20% decline in oil isn't just a magical energy input but affects an absolute fuck ton of end products (some that have been mentioned--fertilizer, plastic products, fuel for various types of vehicles, etc.), which can reduce GDP by much more than the energy input reduction
• Most of the countries I'm talking about are failing to move up the value added chain
  • Some people are aware of this concept due to the EU's retarded value-added tax (VAT)
  • The point is that some retard digging a hole is not adding much value to the economy, compared to say something like ASML designing literal physics bending machinery that make most of the high-end computer chips in the world
  • China has stalled in adding value to their products, they still can't build jet engines for example
  • They can build chips, but they cannot compete on the high end, or on $/flop yet, which is extremely important, it's why TSMC still reigns supreme and why China has to illegally import Nvidia GPUs
    • Seriously, everyone talking about China and technology always misses this, yes the state can dump hundreds of billions into a sector to boost it, but in the end if they can't compete on total cost then they aren't earning profit on it, and it's just a taxpayer sink hole
  • India is absolutely fucked in this regard, their complete failure to industrialize and trying to skip into services has doomed them
    • I hope a couple hundred million starve before the end of this century
• Point being, the world is moving more and more towards automation and technology, if your county can't compete in that regard, you should be prepared to keep falling behind, and unfortunately in an exponential way
• I know this is the thread for the Iran war, but I view this as part of a larger readjustment of Africa and the Middle East, there are multiple wars and proxy wars all around African and ME countries, especially the ones closest to waterway transits
  • ME countries are all waging proxy wars and eventually there will be a re-balancing across north/east Africa and ME, so far it's looking like the American/Israeli interests are winning out, but that remains to be seen
  • Iran is obviously going to play a much smaller role in all of this now
• Europe is gay and retarded, and can't/won't do shit, imagine an entire continent of huwhite peepo unable to open a fucking straight, it's sad that they get a single bullet point on this list
• Supply chains are like giant trains, you can't just turn them off and turn them back on
  • It can take literal years for some supply chains to get back to the rate that they were running at
  • I don't think it would be quite this bad as long as the straight is only closed for a month or two, but if it's closed for 6+ months you will have mass factory closures and re-opening them can only move at the slowest speed of any individual component of the supply chain
  • Thank optimizations and penny pinching Just in Time (JIT) manufacturing for this, the system has just worked so well that most companies only have extremely small buffers for their own system/hardware downtime (e.g. ~6 hours of component input buffers)

After writing all of this, are any countries outside of America even fucking trying? I swear modern politicians/leaders are so fucking gay, you could replace them with a Jim Henson muppet and get the same outcome. Europe and South/East Asia should be all over this shit but I don't see them doing anything other than sending some bureaucratic mumbo jumbo.

Anyway, apologies for the wall of text, helped me to wrangle some of my thoughts around this even if they seem disjointed.

 

[ThisIsGonnaBeGood]

When he realized Iran was playing Connect 4 while Trump was playing Dark Souls permadeath in 12 dimensions.

Wonder if he somehow got some inside information that Trump's not giving them any more extensions, and he knows he has no power to make the IRGC stop because his own retarded "asymmetric" war gaming means they no longer recognize a singular leader.

the only realistic way I see this happening is if he tells the Israelis, "they clearly won't stop being a bunch of greasy crabs, go ahead and take out the rest of their leadership while we nuke their military posts."

I mean, I wouldn't mind if that was the plan.

I don't think Iran even has that long because they've fucked themselves on their water situation (pistachios, seriously?)

It's worse than that, the IRGC built completely unneeded dams for essentially no reason but make work projects for their construction firms

https://mei.edu/publication/irgc-and-irans-water-mafia/

During the 1980-88 Iran-Iraq War, some commanders with a background in construction started an engineering corps within the IRGC and became active in building bridges, roads, and trenches for the Basij militia and the Guards fighting on the front lines. Following the signing of the cease-fire in 1988, the members of the IRGC corps of engineers found themselves with little to do until the passing of Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini and Akbar Hashemi Rafsanjani’s election as the new president. During the transition period and the start of Rafsanjani’s reconstruction drive, Iran’s new supreme leader, Ali Khamenei, ordered the creation of an IRGC construction firm, Khatam al-Anbiya. It was a win-win move. The government needed help carrying out its major construction projects, while the IRGC needed an objective and projects to keep war veterans occupied.

Sepasad became involved in major projects such as the Karkheh and Gotvand dams in Khuzestan Province, an area hit hard during the war and in dire need of assistance. It partnered with a prominent consulting firm close to the regime, Mahab Ghodss, and together they started lobbying members of Parliament to push the government to build more dams. Mahab Ghodss designed and oversaw the dams, while Sepasad served as the contractor. Gradually, these two powerful bodies became the core of what is now known as Iran’s “Water Mafia,” an entity that pushes for and wins projects, spreads the wealth among a small group of members, and does not tolerate any efforts to monitor or audit its activities. This is how the cost of building a dam like Gotvand can increase from $1.5 billion to $3.3 billion, and nobody even dares to ask where all the money has gone when the contractor did such a poor job.

He sounds like a guy coming down off of a hashish high and realizing he woke up in pool of his own piss because he was too wacked out to wake up and go to the bathroom.

You can't argue with low IQ brownoids and turdworldists because either they're not speaking in good faith or they're too stupid to be taken seriously.

They follow the teachings of the OG wigger: "Anything less than the best is a felony."

Because they can't do anything. Don't know about the slant eyes. But EU Governments on a good day have approvals in the low 20%. The average debt to GDP is 88%. The average economic growth for last year was 1.4%, the inflation was 2.2%. The EU is broke, politically incompetent, shrinking economically. In 20 years the EU has gone from number 2 in the world to fighting China for the number 3 spot, and losing. EU has chosen decline and decline has gotten so ingrained the status quo is not doing nothing, it's making something worse. AfD and the likes are not arguing for a better Germany or insert EU nation but to go back 20 years into the past when things were less shit.
