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

[Sooty Soot]

compilation of clips from various Islamist leaders, ending with Khamenei & Khomeini, shitting on Persia and the notion that any civilization would be worth anything if it isn't Islamic. Quick ideological primer, the people running Iran are the furthest thing from based nationalists (ethno- or otherwise), they're the Shiite equivalent of 13th century ultramontanists who believed there shouldn't be any separate kingdoms/nations and that the Pope should run everything (but even gayer with state sanctioned troonery, a hell of a lot more consummated child marriages, and far greater disregard for science & philosophy than the Catholic Church of Thomas Aquinas & Roger Bacon).

I'll take the position of A&N and say they're right, because Persians are brown and are thus incapable of creating anything of worth.

So I have an info post to share that is actually worth while, the sinking of the Iranian frigate had big unintended consequences, who is ready to learn an obscure part of how international commerce works? Reinsurance.

So I highly reccomend you read the article but basically the numbers are so big when dealing with maritime shipping the Insurance providers THEMSELVES need to have insurance, this is called reinsurance. When we sunk that ship in the open ocean we expanded the "war zone" dramatically

I put a lil red X where the frigate was sunk to help give you an idea just how far from Iran it was at the time (not saying distance should make them safe, diffrent conversation, just bringing it up in the context of a expanded war zone from the insurance perspective)

so the reinsurance mfers took one look at that and said "cancel all the insurance until we negotiate higher rates"

that leads to this

so the Iranians dont even have to block the straight, 80% of traffic is already halted beacuse its far to expensive for them to get insurance to go through it

And this is bad, how?

The puppeteer is responsible for the puppet. Do you want to tardwrangle Iran in the future?

I don't mind nuking a few uppitty browns to remind them to behave, but I'm not in charge, sadly.

 

[CAPTAIN HAPPY]

The main objective is to cripple the regime so hard that it will take at least years for them to become any kind of serious threat again.

That's the stupidest take in history.
A country like Iran is literally too big and too powerful to be "stuck" in some kind of rebuilding stage for a long time.
Literally the only two options are either turn the entire county into a desert and kill millions, which even the retarded miggers couldn't afford to do even if they'd want that, or else balkanize the shit, which will be really difficult and even if successful, you'll then have more ISIS Taliban whatever the fuck to deal with for decades to come.

That might or might not include taking control of Hormuz island and the Strait, either directly under the US or some other ally in the region.

lol
And the tariff bullshit will pay for all that, I bet.

But Trump might decide that's not needed at the end of the day. Who knows.

I know.
Trump's retarded. His whole outfit is retarded. They literally do not know jack shit how to handle this and it's not even their call. What you should be asking is what Bitching Netanyahu will do and he'll probably just keep killing people cause fuck all else is he going to do.

Anything else, including successful regime change, is just a bonus. Would be nice to have, sure, but we don't need it.

Keep fantasying. Maybe the US will strike a mountain of underground gold and the new regime will offer to dig it out free of charge,

Fucking video game geopolitics.

 

[National Tragedy]

That's the stupidest take in history.

More like CAPTAIN UNHAPPY, am i right?

 

[Platonic Ideal]

Is there a precedent for striking oil infrastructure in previous Middle Eastern conflicts? It seems like a major escalation but I haven't followed similar events this closely until this one

 

[Suburban Bastard]

No leaders
No launchers
No navy
No air force
No water
No internet
No fuel
No oil

What will Iran lose next?

Seems like insurance companies are starting to calm down and renew their contracts after that tanker successfully made it through the Strait.

This is pretty significant, they won’t consider sailing without insurance.

They won't lose their Pajeet levels of self-delusion. Well, until they stop being bombed and realize that their own people cheered on their destruction and hate them.

 

[0713]

and they just want to destroy Iran and make the Iranian people suffer

Yeah, it would be a real shame if someone started doing that.

 

[BelUwUga]

UK shouldn't be involved in this one, IMO. It's not our fight

Brother you do know what the B in BP stands for right? This whole clusterfuck in Iran is directly tied to Uncle Sam helping your oil interests there. Don't get T-Rex arms now that the bill's coming due.

 

[Prööt :DD]

And this is bad, how?

It worked out so well last time

I don't like zionism, but honestly I fucking hate Islam even more. Bombs away

The black rain has blackpilled my friend in Tehran

Iran has not seen true black rain, not yet.

They can ask Japan about it if they like.

 

[Prööt :DD]

The black rain has blackpilled my friend in Tehran, she's convinced Trump lied and they just want to destroy Iran and make the Iranian people suffer instead of liberating them.

Unless the US commits to some kind of modern Marshall Plan (lol) in Iran after the supposed fall of the IRI (any day now right), I think your friend is right to be somewhat skeptical of her imminent "liberation". Maybe buy her a plane ticket out and score a free Persian wife instead? Just spitballing.

I've been offering to relocate her to Turkey for over a year now since she's Azeri so speaks Turkish and she refused due to her pride.

Also what plane ticket? All the airports have been bombed.

 

[umseriously]

Your friend has a brain because this is exactly what is happening and no attempt at regime change is coming.

Ma'am this is the happenings thread not the mass debates thread. The circus is that way.

 

[Dojima's Dragon]

Similar sentiment except my mom went from being "PLEASE TRUMP SAVE THE PEOPLE" to "TRUMP IS A DISGUSTING PIECE OF SHIT!"

UK shouldn't be involved in this one, IMO. It's not our fight, but more importantly, our military is so degraded that we'd be lucky to fight off an invasion of angry geese.

Your retarded government is the reason why iran is in the current of affairs it is today you blabbering retard. Even if mossadegh was a commie moron.

Iran would've turned into an Islamist shithole regardless because Islam itself is a backwards religion that only barely manages to be reasonable when the people who move into the west adjust to be more like their Christian counterparts. Liberals are so afraid to admit that some religions are just straight up awful and have to make a million excuses for the people who practice them. These are the same people who feel bad for the fucking Aztecs. You know, the people who started up nationwide human sacrifice rituals and colonized their neighbors. If anything, the Spaniards were being merciful once you compare what they did to what the Aztecs did to their neighbors.
