Guaranteed stagflation imo because it’s from the cost push
Man, if only people had realized the benefits of remote working like, idk, 5ish years ago. Unfortunately there wasn’t any kind of major crisis that could have popularized it. What a shame.
B-But who would sit in traffic for two hours commuting to and from an office that nobody wanted to work in in the first place??? We can’t destroy such a beautiful, cultural work environment like this!
amazing. of course, they’re still going to reject any kind of energy that doesn’t come out of the ground. the one good kind of energy that comes out of the ground too.
🚨Tasnim: Iranian naval forces attacked several American warships using drones after the US attack
🔹️The Iranian ship that was attacked by American forces was coming from China to Iran.
🇦🇪⚡️🇺🇸 Prominent UAE commentator: It is time to think about closing the American bases as they are a burden and not a strategic asset
https://t.me/DDGeopolitics/182385
Lmao sounds like copium. ‘We can defend ourselves so close the bases USA, please so we don’t get bombed anymore, please just close the bases already’. However, I don’t care what these zio slaves say as long as they really go through the shedding of US bases.
Less cope and more spin. This is effectively advocating for US removal on a pretense that saves face.
🇺🇸⚔🇮🇷 Video of the USS Spruance firing its 127mm Mk 45 naval gun at the engine room of Iranian merchant vessel M/V Touska after the ship attempted to breach a US-imposed naval blockade in the Gulf of Oman.
I saw a post saying that they had actually turned around and were returning to Iran when the usa fired on them.
Just like their Israeli counterparts, only ever capable of using force against the undefended.
Is this not an act of war against Iran? Is this not a ceasefire violation?
Yes, this is a ceasefire violation.
I hope somebody on board the disabled ship understood the barbarian’s language well enough to vacate the engine room.
🚨 Aref: Security of the Strait of Hormuz is not free
🔹️It is not possible to limit Iran’s oil exports and expect free security for others; the choice is clear: either a free oil market for all, or the risk of significant costs for everyone
🔹️The stability of global fuel prices depends on the guaranteed and sustainable end of economic and military pressure against Iran and its allies.
🇮🇷 Trading advice from Iranian Parliament Speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf.
More than 1,000 homes in Tel Aviv have been left uninhabitable by the recent war with Iran, the city’s mayor said Saturday, Anadolu reports.
Oh, I hope they pump those numbers up!
Don’t worry, when Al-Aqsa flood subsides the Palestinians will fix them up and live in them.
Not enough

🇮🇷 Tasnim News: Iran prepared for possible resumption of war
Monitoring of US movements in recent days points to several notable shifts:
- Repositioning of certain US warships.
- An unprecedented airlift for equipment transfers.
- Multiple heavy C-5 and C-17 aircraft involved in weapons transport.
- Amphibious island-seizure drills in Bahrain and rapid coastal assault exercises.
- Extensive US reconnaissance drone flights over Iranian islands.
- Repositioning of certain US air defense systems in the region.
Iran is simultaneously considering two scenarios and has prepared for both.
➡Scenario 1: The US buildup is psychological pressure aimed at extracting concessions at the negotiating table. Washington threatens on one hand while constantly amplifying talk of negotiations in the media on the other. Iran has put forward its proposals based on realism and the fundamental rights of the Iranian nation — it is the US that must abandon its excessive demands. As past pressure and threats have had no effect on Iran’s negotiating position, this time will be no different.
➡Scenario 2: The talk of negotiations is cover for a surprise military strike targeting Iranian islands. The US has extensive experience using negotiations as a deception tool — twice in the past year it attacked Iran while publicly claiming talks were progressing.
Iran is fully prepared this time and considers the war scenario more likely than continued negotiations. Based on preparations carried out over the past two weeks, Iran is ready to deliver a memorable hellish opening to any renewed conflict with the US and Israel.
Analysis of Iran’s positioning also indicates that if war resumes and infrastructure is again targeted, Iran will fully abandon the restraints it observed in the first round regarding Bab al-Mandab, Aramco, Yanbu, and Fujairah.
Someone explain why Iran doesn’t just send cluster munitions at the staging areas and the exercise locations and break the ceasefire on their own terms?
The strategy of Iran is to wait for the US to make the mistake and attack. This has helped to form dissent within the West(France is the most recent case of that dissent of doing deals with Iran to allow their oil tankers to pass) and show to the rest of the world a simple message: “We followed the rules, we negotiated and we did everything that we could. The warmonger is not us but the USA”.
It is a simple message but it has helped solidify the position from Iran while putting pressure in the International system ruled by the West.
While I get that, if Iran gets overwhelmed by the next wave of attacks…
Iran won’t lose and it won’t be overwhelmed. Reality is that the Zionist Entity and their slaves in the Gulf were overwhelmed by Iran’s attacks.
The US military isn’t something to be trifled with. They gained a lot of intelligence in the last month. They’d be backing off if there wasn’t a genuine threat that they could bring to the region. They’re not going to be able to occupy Iran by any means, but the damage they could inflict is considerable. They’re clearly boiling the frog on the blockage. Unless Iran sinks an aircraft carrier in the first few waves, I fear that Iran will suffer incredible losses once the ceasefire breaks, since the entire point of the ceasefire has clearly been to advance the imperialist position without resistance
Iran has grown stronger with every US aggression and they have gain as much intelligence as you suggest the arrogant yankees did.
There are a lot of people with expectations of what Iran must and must not do. However, I tell you that Iran is the one in the front seat and they are aware of the information that we have been able to uncover. I trust that they will choose the decisions that will lead them to victory as proven so far.
I hope that people stop underestimating Iran’s capabilities to resist. Just like Qalibaf said:
We will undoubtedly be superior on the battlefield, and that’s why Trump is calling for a ceasefire. They expected to distract us from our western borders and said they had provided weapons, but no matter what they did, they didn’t succeed.
They tried to provoke internal chaos but failed. They decided to launch a ground attack but didn’t succeed.
Trump called on NATO to participate in opening the Strait of Hormuz, but no one responded. It’s clear that we are the victors in the war.
First off Iran doesn't use Cluster munitions.
Cluster munitions are like one step down from Chemical weapons in the horrific weapons list. The western propaganda machine is calling Iran’s missiles “cluster munitions” in order to prime people for usa dropping real cluster bombs on Iranian cities.
Cluster munitions are anti-personnel weapons where each bomblet is meant to kill or maim a single person and each munition carries hundreds or thousands of bomblets. Iran’s multi warhead missiles are MIRVs. Each of the warheads are targeted and they have a warhead that is designed to destroy equipment or infrastructure not cause mass casualties.
This is an important battle in the propaganda war and we cannot cede any ground here.
Iran can’t destroy usa they can only force them to retreat. Iran can’t blow up the white house, they cant destroy the us military industrial system. Nothing Iran can do will stop usa unless usa wants to stop.
Iran can only win by not losing and right now and their hospitals aren’t being blown up. They are fighting a defensive war so if they can they would prefer not to fight and not to have their cities and infrastructure bombed.
If usa is trying to bluff in order to force concessions Iran does better by not attacking but being firm on its demands on the small chance that usa backs down because it has a rare moment of sanity and realizes it needs to conserve its hardware.
The nearby staging areas have been destroyed so the ones usa is using are at a long range. Iran has fewer long range missiles. If usa is going to start the war up again it will be at an increased intensity and Iran needs to manage its resources carefully. If they do plan on striking them it would be best to wait until they are as full as they will get to maximize the effect of the strike. Usa will break the ceasefire when it has everything in place.
If a mass casualty event happens on a base in a 3rd country the news can spin that as “Iranian aggression”. If it happens after usa breaks a ceasefire (or even better on Iranian soil) it is 100% Trump’s fault and the families of the dead will be angry at him, not braying for more war.

Hope this trend grows stronger among US vassals and dogs.
From Brian Berletic:
First Principles: Why the US Will Continue War with Iran
The US’ primary goal is global primacy.
Attacking Iran is driven by a desire to isolate Russia and China further by eliminating a partner and fully controlling an economically vital region of the world.
Part of this isolation specifically for China involves cutting off energy exports from Iran to China.
The US can also use its own war of aggression against Iran to implement a defacto blockade on all or much of the energy leaving the entire Middle East to China and also many of China’s largest and most important trade partners.
A collapse in consumer demand means a collapse in demand for Chinese production the US has been complaining about and desperately trying to target for years.
The US is also using this opportunity to normalize a global blockade of all Iranian ships just as it has the “shadow fleet.”
This has always been expanding toward a general, global blockade.
Everything is aimed at a more direct and serious confrontation with both Russia (whom the US is still waging proxy war/covert war on) and China.
Because of this fundamental reality, no “peace” of any kind was EVER possible with Iran unless Iran and its allies could physically impose it on the US which at this point is still not realistic or possible.
So the war will inevitably continue and only the excuses of why it will continue remain to be crafted and presented.

Good thing Iran knows all of this, and are actively preparing for the inevitable next round. And Russia and China will not stand idly by, however much they downplay their roles publicly.
🇺🇸🇨🇳The US Navy will inspect ships heading to China as part of the fight against the supply of Iranian oil, - US Permanent Representative to the UN Walts

Brian Berletic spot on again.
As context:
I’ve warned people for years about the US preparing blockades worldwide - all ultimately aimed at China - coupled with the US’ desperate attempt to “decouple” or “derisk” supply chains from China knowing full well they would attempt to isolate and cut off China in this manner.
It is now taking place in front of us.
Blockades are an act of war. China has prepared for decades for this eventuality and will not be caught by surprise or without options.
🇺🇸⚔🇮🇷 BREAKING! Trump took to social media to personally announce that the USS Spruance fired on and disabled the Iranian-flagged cargo vessel Touska in the Gulf of Oman after it allegedly attempted to pass through Washington’s naval blockade.

Isis and IDF have the same face in one context, attacking on churches and statues of Jesus Christ had previously occurred at the hands of ISIS in the Iraqi city of Mosul when the group overran the city in 2014. 🏛️✝️🇮🇶
Is the bottom photo real? It looks weirdly clean for something that is meant to be messy.
I’d bet AI. Dude is prepping for a swing but there’s already debris flying off from an impact a split second ago. The statue hand is kind of just chilling there despite a large crack at the wrist. The lighting on the guy’s face is also odd.
And yeah it has that AI vibe where each subject is a sort of platonic ideal of its essence, rather than being part of a continuous whole.
I haven’t checked the image. However, it is true that ISIS has destroyed Christian churches and statues regardless of the image:
I was not doubting what ISIS did; it was merely the photo that I was confused about, but thanks for the information.
