Iran, the gun is cocked and the clock is ticking.

The Free World will not allow you to be the new Barbary pirates.
A major can of whip ass is ready for you.

When you care, you sent the very best! :)

Since the Mullahs took power, Iran has shifted its economic and political model to one of extortion and through soft action, Iran has truly become a major active player in the Middle East:

- During the Hostage Crisis they would repeatedly agree to a deal to release them and then renege only to seek different terms
- Quds Force / Hezbollah (not much difference in the early days) blew up the US Embassy & the Marine Barracks in Lebanon
- Iran attacked neutral-flagged tankers in the Iran-Iraq War (Op. Earnest Will + Op. Praying Mantis results)
- Iran spread its influence throughout Iraq post-Saddam (our own fault really for not seeing this and stopping it) and actively killed US soldiers
- Iran's Quds Force is in Syria and has been since Day One essentially guiding the Syrian Army how to fight (they're not good at it otherwise) and against our own allies (who we unfortunately forsake aka the Kurds time and time again)
- Iran has been guiding the Houthis in Yemen from the get-go
- Iran hit the limits of that nuclear deal on enrichment and kept going
- Now Iran is back at it again with the tankers, first with the limpet mines and now the seizures

Current goals? They continue to use extortion to seek their way. They're fighting not only the great bipolar Mid East proxy war with Saudi Arabia but also continuing the fight with the West. They've been encouraged to do this because we've always been soft on Iran. Do we need to invade the nation? No that would be foolish, especially after nearly 2 decades of war in A-Stan and Iraq have left our military in poor repair. However, the sanctions didn't work. Stuxnet was limited. They already got what they wanted from the nuclear deal, the release of their funds and a compliant Europe. Iran hasn't been punished for their actions since the Mullahs took power and they'll continue to be extortionists until they are. It's no wonder they're good friends with North Korea (not much different there).

Iran could become hell for the United States and its allies

Image

An American aggression against Iran would begin as in Iraq, Libya or Yugoslavia, with the imposition of a "no-fly zone" for Iran's air force in its own airspace. Follow-up of air strikes and US cruise missile launches. But for more than a decade, Iran has devised the most effective response strategies and is capable of unpleasant surprises for Americans.

It is true that the blockade imposed by the United States on Iran's oil exports also benefits Russia somewhat. But stopping the supply of petroleum products from Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates and Bahrain would mean a 50-fold increase in costs for Moscow. This is why the Kremlin will not intervene in any way.

Most likely, if it is attacked, Iran will open other fronts, hitting the allies of the United States, Israel and Saudi Arabia (as well as its satellite emirates). Let's remember that on May 14, two Yemeni Qasef-2K UAVs dismantled two pumping stations in the east-west pipeline linking Riyadh to the Yenbu terminal from the Red Sea. The targets are located more than 700 km from the border between Yemen and Saudi Arabia. As a result, their coordinates have been fixed to the GPS.

Image

Guidance for Qasef-2K UAVs, designed and manufactured in Yemen, was via satellite radio retransmission equipment. Saudi Arabia's main gas and oil pipeline was built during the war between Iran and Iraq. It carries out the transfer from the Persian Gulf coast to the Red Sea, it has a length of 1200 km and passes to 70% of the daily production of Saudi Arabia. Being in the desert, the pipeline is not protected by the Saudi army.

Image

It is foreseeable that once attacked, Iran will arm the Yemeni army, loyal to President Ali Abdullah Saleh. This resists four years of invasion by Saudi mercenaries, backed by the United States. Whether at sea or via Oman, Iran can send more and more resources to Yemen to fight the Saudi oil transport infrastructure, Bahrain and the United Arab Emirates. It can be seen that the entire east coast of Saudi Arabia, Bahrain and the Fujairah oil terminal in the United Arab Emirates are within range of Qasef-2K drones.

Israeli warplanes bombed Syrian military targets and the Israeli army supported Islamist terrorists against the Syrian army, although Israel did not declare war on Syria. Russia is now helping the Syrian army to get rid of its old weapons and to acquire new ones. In 8 years of war, Syria has also captured impressive quantities of weapons from Islamist terrorists, via the United States, Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Qatar and Turkey. Iran is the only country to have helped the Syrian army since 2011. That is why it is possible that the second front that Iran will open will be aimed at the deterioration of the internal situation in Israel. Taking advantage of the fury of the Palestinians in the Gaza Strip, the growing fighting capacity of the Lebanese Hezbollah and the great hostility of the Syrian army.

Aviation pilot, former Deputy Commander of the Military Forces at Otopeni Airport, graduated in Military Science at the Academy of Military Studies in Bucharest 1992.

- Tehran prevents Atlantist progress to Moscow and Beijing -

Everything that happens in the Arabian Sea and in the Persian Gulf, between tanker war, incitement and observation, iron will of wills and diplomacy of carpet weaving, suggests the following:

The so-called Iranian-American crisis,
currently taking place in the Persian Gulf, in the Arabian Sea and in the rest of the region, from Yemen to Iraq, through Syria, Lebanon and Palestine, is not an ordinary crisis, but a major strategic battle:

* The Iranian hillock, represented by its geography, its regime and its nation, and the Axis of Resistance, with multi-dimensional Russian-Chinese support.

* The United States of America, totally supported by NATO and the servile Arab regimes in the Arabian Peninsula, as well as the Zionist entity of course.

In a sense, it means ending US unipolar hegemony over the world.

There is no prospect, neither tactical nor strategic, to achieve US objectives, neither in the current open conflict zone nor in other confrontational regions, such as Central Asia, the China Sea or the sea. black / Ukraine. The same goes for the Baltic Sea region of northwestern Russia, where large NATO forces continue to be mobilized near Russia's northwestern borders, near Leningrad, a historic landmark and Russian national, which did not surrender while besieged by German armies for 900 days.

The strategic aspect of the ongoing battle is that Iran is directly confronting US attempts to control not only the oil resources of the Arabian Peninsula and Iran in order to control the energy supplies of the Chinese, Pakistani and East Asian markets. to slow down the economic growth of these countries and weaken their ability to compete with the United States at the international level, but the US objectives go beyond that, because the nature of this confrontation includes, first and foremost, international economic issues. More specifically, Washington and the NATO countries are trying to control the current conflict zone, which extends from the west coast of occupied Palestine to the eastern shores of China and Russia on the Pacific Ocean.

The key to this strategic aspect is the Chinese project Road and Belt Initiative (BRI), which is an international and transcontinental project, which aims to put an end to the economic and financial control exercised by the United States over the capabilities of the peoples of the world.

This means that the current struggle of Iran, with the axis of resistance, against the aforementioned colonial parties, is a battle to impose a strategy, whose goal for Iran and its allies, is:

* Respect for Iran's rights, not only in the nuclear field, but also in the maintenance of maritime security throughout the region, from the Gulf of Aden to the Western Indian Ocean. This is a solid barrier or first line of defense for China's western borders and the southwestern borders of Russia.

* To put an end to renewed tensions in the region by uprooting its origins, namely the intensive US military presence in the Arabian Peninsula and the seas of the region to the South China Sea, especially since the Iranian naval forces are certainly competent and able to effectively secure the shipping lanes.

The desired protection mechanism can be easily implemented thanks to the implementation of the Iranian proposal, presented for months, which provides for the creation of a regional security system in which all Arab and non-Arab countries will participate. Arabs, such as Pakistan and Iran, and the evacuation of foreign bases and fleets from the region.

As for the contingencies in the process of this struggle and its evolution on the ground, they will not go beyond the stage of negotiation "under fire", that is to say that the parties in conflict, in particular Iran and the Axis of Resistance, will continue to take steps to exert military pressure on the enemy, on all fronts, because of their total self-confidence and potential first and their certainty of limited capabilities the enemy then.

When we talk about the limits of the enemy's capabilities, we certainly do not want to say that Iran's military potential is superior to that of the other side, but rather the enemy's limited ability to use its military potential . This is what is called in political science: the limited use of force. This is due to multiple reasons that can not be listed in this context ....

The most important thing to remember is that the current US President does not really intend to wage war on Iran and its allies, besides the fact that President Trump fears that any action against Iran, no matter how limited, can be transformed into a total war that the United States can not afford to risk, because such an escalation would require the deployment of at least 750,000 American and Atlantist troops on the ground. theater of operations in Iran, Iraq and Syria, in addition to the inevitable requiem for the Washington military base in occupied Palestine, "Israel", which will cease to exist in the first hours after the beginning of the war.

As a result, the United States has a frozen, paralyzed or tied up military power due to political and military conditions on the ground, while Iran's command is free to make firm decisions based on objective circumstances and favorable; which makes the objective reading of the theater of operations lead to an incontestable conclusion:

In this confrontation, the most powerful part will certainly be the one that benefits from the geography and the Iranian cultural heritage, the largest and the deepest, on which Imam Ali Khamenei bases himself to lead the battle and share its decisions and directives to the political, diplomatic and military machine of Iran, relying on a dynamic and revolutionary Islamic jurisprudence deeper and more mobilizing than anything traditional politicians can imagine.

A new equation takes shape in international politics and suggests resounding defeats for Americans and their followers, and major victories, unprecedented in the international arena, for Iran and its allies.

Iran is acting up again by attacking our Embassy in Iraq with rockets.
This is American ground that was attacked with Americans in the cross hairs. :x :x

Iran is fighting a terrorist war against the civilized world.
The day is getting close to a reckoning with these thugs.
The hammer is going to drop on them.

This is an editorial against evil in the world.

CAG
I heard that Biden is already planning on sending Iran 10 million dollars.
Probably more to come to help their weapons nuclear program.

Obama/Biden Administration sent a plane load of US money to Tehran in the past.
Where was the outcry over this. :x :x

What is needed is some cruise missiles, followed by B2's and an Alpha Strike from several carriers. :D :D

Best Regards,
Pappy

Biden is pro nuclear deal, which shouldn't come as a shock because that was Obama's baby.
In reality, Iran has stymied every administration we've had.

- Carter = Hostage crisis obviously but a lot of the ideas the generals and DoD and even himself had to end it were blocked by the prospect that Iran might just murder them, as it was the treatment severely degraded post Eagle Claw
- Reagan = Basically got tea bagged by Hezbollah (re: Quds Force) with the bombings of the embassy, the marine barracks, the hostages that we paid to release; the only actual action against Iran directly came because of the mining that was it nothing before that
- Bush Sr = Tried to play nice with Iran and "Hezbollah" released the hostages but at least he didn't remove sanctions (not that they really worked since the Ayatollah and the Mullahs never lost power)
- Clinton = No retaliation for Khobar Towers though at least he put in the embargo, not that the Europeans played along
- Bush Jr = No punishments for Iran helping the AQ terrorists for 9/11, cooperated with Quds Force in Herat in 2001, sure he had his "Axis of Evil" but Iran was killing US soldiers in Iraq, actively so and nada nothing nil, sure there were covert actions against the nuclear program and more useless sanctions, perhaps more than other Presidents in the past but still hardly put the screws to the leadership
- Obama = Tried the Bush Sr approach to play nice and apologizes for the 53 coup, didn't hinder covert ops or spying via drone at least but Obama loved drones more than any other President so why would he? and then caps it with JCPOA
- Trump = Killing Soleimani & Muhandis was a great move and Iran retaliated and I bet it would have escalated had Iran not downed the plane - everyone just kind of went "WE should chill" after that one but look at the escalating crisis for 2019 - 2020, tankers attacked, now they're hitting our embassy (not that they didn't do this last December let's not forget) with rockets so what now?
- Biden = Seems he wants to hit the reset and go back to JCPOA and continue Obama's legacy but I just think it's misguided and too locked in an effort to negotiate with a regime that has a long-standing history of "altering the deal" that we just refuse to LEARN FROM (but that's not new really for the US)

JCPOA was only ever meant to delay the nuclear program of Iran and put it under int'l watch but let's face it, Iran's as shifty as anyone else, just because it looks like they're complying they're not and they never intended to because they know full well that Saudi Arabia has nuclear weapons (they're just in Pakistan) and Israel has nuclear weapons so Iran won't be suddenly going into it. It was right to kill JCPOA and the 2019 - 2020 Gulf Crisis has really shown that Iran isn't any different. Still - push comes to shove - Iran & the US have an inability to talk with one another. The Mullahs still think the US is the enemy of the world - sure fine whatever take a number - but push comes to shove going back to Carter, any negotiations with them is just a joke. Carter would be talking with the Iranians and get an agreement to release the hostages and the next day they'd change the terms and we'd agree and they'd change the terms, et cetera et cetera et cetera. At one point Carter & the DoD wanted to invite an Iranian representative to the White House and let him watched as we bombed their oil facilities with B-52s until the hostages were released but again, they were too afraid Iran would just up and execute them (they probably would have) if we did that so we didn't. Iran's always been two-faced and that isn't to say the US is the noblest of partners that's for sure, we have definitely put the screws to Iran and been fucking with them since the 50s (albeit we're blamed for a coup the British orchestrated & pushed but whatever Iranians don't read history books either so).

Iran has a laundry list of things it wants from the US and they got a lot of them with JCPOA: apologies, release of funds, lifting of sanctions, et cetera. They played us though. They never intended to give up their nuclear program, only give the appearance that they were doing so. If JCPOA was only ever meant to delay their ability to gain a nuclear weapon what was going to happen when "the delay" was up and Iran suddenly tested one? It was a band-aid solution.

Nothing's changed there. The Mullahs still hold power and do so absolutely and there's no cracks.
The people protested against the regime HARD in November 2019 and what did the Mullahs do?
They cut the internet and machine gunned everyone worse than the Shah ever did.
They shot down a plane and people protested again but nothing happen.
Okay we killed (maybe Mossad probably Mossad) their head nuclear scientist okay great.
What's the end game?

Given the longstanding history, I just do not see the U.S. doing anything significant against the Iranian government beyond what we've done in the past (and failed all those many times).
The regime will stymie every U.S. admin and laugh just like Castro did for how many years.

I've said it many upon many upon many times that the USSR, Russia, North Korea Cuba, et al pale in comparison (as an enemy to the US) to Iran.
The thing though the average Iranian isn't an enemy to Israel & the US. On the contrary. Back earlier in the year, the Iranian government painted US & Israeli flags on the ground hoping that the people would walk over them in protest. Well they parted ways like the Red Sea and refused to do it. Not sure how many people Iran shot & killed protesting the jetliner - not as much as November that's for sure.

To me the people that allow those into power are equally responsible for the actions that result from it. That is why there were no "innocent" Germans or Japanese in WW2 and why the people ended the Soviet Union. They chose to no longer tolerate them. Iranians need to do the same thing instead of enabling their govt to do the criminal acts they do continuously.
