30KM wide isn't huge, but it's not Seuz Canal narrow. There's room to navigate around in there, especially since Iran can't radar-focus-in their drones without giving themselves away.
Oh, it's definitely harder to hit a tanker than some Slavic tank in a potato field. A couple years ago Iran would have been screwed in this situation. Without a navy and with no way to keep up radar coverage of the Strait, Iran wouldn't have been able to do very much to shipping. With drones however they don't necessarily need radar or bulky missile launchers. Would be a nice tool, but the drones are cheap and small enough that one can observe the Strait 24/7 with them. I am not arguing that this is what will happen. Just pointing out that Iran will not run out of equipment with which to attack the tankers with.
 
➡️ U.S. envoy Tom Barrack told Lebanese officials that any talks must involve real action to disarm Hezbollah, while Israeli officials rejected the proposal, saying their focus is now on defeating Hezbollah rather than negotiations.

➡️ Lebanese leaders are said to be frustrated by the lack of U.S. engagement, believing that without American mediation, peace talks are impossible.
These goat fuckers really think they can do the “we were fooling around before, this time we’ll be serious and definitely not do the exact same shit next week” with Trump right now.

Chin up Lebanon, Trump is engaging in peace talks right this minute. Very loudly with lots of explosions.

Trump's going to kill the new Ayatollah if he doesn't agree to stop with the nuke shit.

Don't worry, the Zionist Entity is already planning to kill him.

Intense bombing in Tehran tonight. Kino footage incoming, hopefully.
My suspicion is the only reason Ayatolla 4.0 is still among the living is he was seriously wounded when his father was killed. And is still in a hospital. Something even the Israeli's will balk at bombing flat.

How long do you think Iranian recon drones are going to remain intact and in the air over the Strait lol
 
I hate we can't have nuance, it's all black and white.

You can criticize Israel but think Iran is a retarded place, you can think what Israel is doing in the west bank is imoral, but they have a right not have ballistic missiles falling on them, you can think the war in Iran is justified against a regime that slaughters protesters against food inflation, but think bombing a young girls school is wrong.
*sigh*
I fully agree with you, but the zeitgeist pushed hard by the left in the past 10 years killed this for the foreseeable future. If you didn't worship immigration you were 100% a nazi, if you're friends with somebody who doesn't worship immigration you're 100% a nazi, if you don't want to marry a troon you're 100% a transphobe, if you have a problem with china basically owning panama you need to read about your own history then commit sepuku.

They used this method and they gained insane amounts of ideological ground, team trump is basically just playing ball by those rules and are winning for the first time so nobody is really in the mood to hear about both sides or middle ground when middle ground came to mean "let iran have 50 nukes instead of 100".

Inevitably we need to get back to this point where people observe nuance but it will be a while.
 
Very smart people when oil starts moving through the strait again

Just to be clear there is only about 8-20 ships that have "run the gap" and they are mostly smaller greek vessels willing to take the risk, the VAST MAJORITY of vessels will not tranist the strait under any circumstances but a negotiated deal
1773091240905.png 1773091407732.png
(red lines show were INT vessels wont pass)

Iran has specifically said Chinese vessels are allowed to transit the straight but even they wont do it because ALL shipping companys have said

"if we catch you going into the straight we will never insure you or your company again"

this is a deathknell for any maritime shipping company so they are staying put

Does this have the chance of blowing up into a larger financial crisis in Europe?
 
US intel agencies intercepted activation signals for sleeper cells in the US. Stay frosty my fellow Americans.
How certain is it that it was for sleeper cells in the US? Apparently Oslo police averted an attack on a synagogue right before the attack on the US embassy, though I'm not sure if they've confirmed it was connected.

thats like asking if a bird will shit on you if you go for a walk, the answer is eventually yes.

They have multiple options to pivot but all are undesirable, they consume over 10 million barrels of oil a day, to say nothing of the natural gas they need to heat their homes, they will have to make a deal with Russia, its nearly the only logical option.

Ill tell you what im seeing is the far larger likely push into crisis is the fertilizer issue

Farmers are going to be hit doubly hard by this, some triple hard. Fertilizer is going to cost so much more they will have to scale back their crops harvest, then the shipping/transport costs will be even higher due to the increase in oil, then the maritime shipping is going to gouge their eyes out when they have to try and take their crop overseas with insurance rates jumping triple digits percentage amounts.

Very unlikely. All large western economies have been devoted to preventing any serious negative financial events for decades now.
Identically to military matters, thousands of the smartest people on earth have been planning for every contingency for decades.
European incompetence should not be underestimated, but this matter is bigger than them.
 
Doubtful. The Strait is small enough that common FPV drones from the Ukraine war can reach the other shoreline. The Shaheds can do it too, from even further away. As long as Iran is willing to continue the fight they can find the materials they need to strike these tankers.
Just bunch up around the ching chong ships and make your eyes look all slanty.

your joking but Greek tankers are running the gap by trying to trick the Iranians into thinking they are Chinese flagged vessels whom Iran has told can pass

the Greeks have a reputation for their maritime history for a reason, I can almost hear some salty old greek captian muttering malaka as he reads that no one is allowed to pass but there is a fortune to be made if you risk it.

In some cases all they do is change their flag and their destination to read "CHINESE CREW"
LMAO found one

IDF: For the second time today: the IDF has begun a broad wave of strikes in Tehran.

Additional strikes in Karaj


 
The official account of AyatollACK'd Khamenei I posted this (probably AI generated) illustration of him handing over the Iranian flag to Khamenei II. They won't post a picture or a video showing that Khamenei II is alive though.

Iran really got buck broken by AI.

I am by no means a "AI derangement syndrome" guy but like there is a certain artistry to authoritarian propaganda posters and design.

Compare current AI slopaganda from Iran today in 2026 versus the Soleimani propaganda in 2020 and its not even comparable. Pre-AI slop propaganda is just aesthetically kino and actually has real emotions behind it.
It seems like North Korea is the only country right now keeping authoritarian kino alive.
