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

Theres a pattern here and its kind of shocking that they havent figured it out yet. They cant help but act like silly villians and tell everyone their plans.

>threatens to build nukes
>nuke facilities get blown up
>threatens to launch missiles
>missile launchers get blown up
>threatens to elect new guys
>new guys get blown up
>threatens to attack strait ships
>navies move into strait to defend
>threatens to lay mines
>mine layers get blown up
(you are here)

The Bombings will continue until freedom improves. We can do this all year.

"Mojtaba Khamenei is hospitalized in Sina hospital's ICU. He has been injured heavily in abdominal region and legs and is currently intubated and connected to ventilators and has been so since day one, unaware of the start of a war or death of his father and family let alone becoming the supreme leader of Islamic Republic.

His Surgery was carried out by doctor Zafarghandi and Mar'ashi and the reason of Pezeshkian's visit to a hospital 2 days ago alongside Zafarghandi was his visit to Mojtaba Khamenei and his fully aware of his state.

The atmosphere at Sina Hospital is highly secure and very few people have access to ICU."

My gut tells me this is true. His contacts would still be recent and given the info and how its presented, its highly plausible. Sina hospital is quite close to the leadership house where everyone would be together:

Its been highly suspected that the leadership council in Iran met in Arman hospital earlier on March 5th.

Now all this being said, it begs the question, whos really in charge now?

Terror bombing campaigns against civvies have literally never worked to break a nation's morale. All blowing up the oil on an already blockaded nation does is turn the populace against you, extremely counterproductive if you want to install a friendly regime.

I highly doubt israel's tactical goals go beyond "fuck them up as much as possible before we get told to stop". They know the US is going to be the one holding the bag on reconstruction. Also as an aside the US's campaign against Japanese cities up to and including the nukes in WW2 could arguably be called terror bombing against the civilian population and Japan turned out great for America. Yeah, comparing the Japs to the sand people of Iran is probably not productive.

 

[AnOminous]

With the Chinese stats, I'm a bit sceptical about only 14% of oil being used in China. Kind of ironic to see China using more coal btw.

Why wouldn't they? They're the biggest producer in the world (even though we have more known reserves).

President Trump confirms that within the last few hours, the US military as DESTROYED 10 inactive mine-laying vessels in the Strait of Hormuz — "WITH MORE TO FOLLOW" — after Iran's threats

how many do you think they have?, its gotta be in the dozens, surely they prepared for this contingency of holding the gulf hostage and more importantly, the energy trade by proxy to stop the war

 

[ThisIsGonnaBeGood]

The Bombings will continue until freedom improves. We can do this all year.

Trump says he's not signing shit until they pass the SAVE Act, which Thune continually refuses to do because "muh procedure," so Trump's got nothing else on his plate except bombing the hell out of muzzies.

I won't be surprised if they even do coal liquefaction by turning coal into fuel for car and trucks.

I highly doubt nuclear weapons are going to start flying.

 

[Catch The Rainbow]

but the missiles fired at my little home got intercepted and sold for scrap.

Arabs in Israel have been having a blast stealing the missile parts for scrap. It's normal but funny to see them do it

The U.S. Department of War released the timeline of Operation Epic Fury's first 10 days.

Jesus fucking Christ, I bet AI would make a more readable map than this. Write some sound effects next to the EPIC explosions for good measure.

with US aid their Gulf neighbors have stopped the lions share of Iranian missiles and drones.

With Chinese and Russian aid, Iran has had the US and Israel freely bombing them for 10 days straight.

I question your assessment of this being "effective"

I heard talk that the Chinese had send or were about to send some air defenses. Have we got any sources on what they actually sent Iran?

>threatens to elect new guys

Come on man, their elections are really no threat to America.

 

[SaidNoOneEver]

Trump updated his previous post to add that any mine-laying boats will get the same treatment as narcoterrorists, and a few already have.

Anybody else remember being told yesterday that Iran's Navy was already sunk?

You normally wouldn't consider passenger boats to.be part of a navy. But on the other hand, Iran's entire naval strategy was to overwhelm American ships with saturation attacks from speed boats after they got fucked in the 80's or whatever.

The way everything has been going down in Iran during this entire campaign, I'm sure that Iran is as fully prepared for this contingency as it has been for all others. Which is to say not at all.

Iran's Navy has dozens of mine-layers. They aren't cave-people you know. Or maybe you didn't.

Sounds like they've started mining the Straits.

 

[Mr. Racewar1488]

Russia confirmed that its consulate in Isfahan was damaged in the strike, which primarily targeted the town hall. According to the Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs, some diplomats sustained light injuries, but no one was wounded bad enough in order to require hospitalization.

A single Iranian ballistic missile was intercepted over central Israel a few moments ago.

 

[ThisIsGonnaBeGood]

Sounds like they've started mining the Straits.

Is there any actual evidence of this other than some anonymous sources selling a quick story to CNN?
All I've seen officially is that they've started blowing up boats that could be used to drop mines, but haven't actually dropped any yet.

 

[Fred Herbert]

Their major surface ships are destroyed or out of action.

Iran additionally operates a large force of fast attack craft and thousands of speedboats. These are of limited use against military targets but could wreak havoc on civilian shipping in the gulf. They also have a history of repurposing civilian craft to use as minelayers and motherships for smaller attack boats as shown during the Iran-Iraq war. It is this force that is still active not the larger vessels you'd typically associate with a navy.

It is much easier to engage the frigates, corvettes & submarines and since these vessels could conceivably attack other warships it would've been important to neutralize them before dealing with the vast swarm of RPG-armed speedboats.

I would take this with an entire oceans worth of salt given the massive bias and while he's putting his name on it, isn't naming his sources (for obvious reasons but)

But if true AHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH

Idk what took them so long? That would've been my first step if I was waging total war.

No. Really. Why haven't they? Iran threatened to close the waterway if someone so much as spoke harshly to them. You'd think at some point they would have that shit set up to deploy on a moments notice for this EXACT scenario. I know sandniggers are dumb but come on...

Because it means you have also fucked any nation (china) that might help you out.
It is the ulitmate scorched earth where even after the US has left Iran is going to be fucked for a while.

well not only that But mining the straight will mean it's not something Trump can just "end" anymore.

People have this misguided notion that Trump could just "stop" and then the straight will go back to normal.

Mining the straight would just make it so that "stopping" just means there's still an extended outage of the straight, they can hope for other countries to pressure Trump into stopping all day but even if he stops the straight is still full of mines and unusable for an extended period, at that point you might as well finish the job and make sure they never do it again.

Counter point, the Gulf isn't very deep. Demining would take time but very due able. But to your point, its not just a flip of a switch, it might take weeks or months.

Pentagon reports 140 American service members wounded in Iran conflict so far.

https://thehill.com/policy/defense/5777438-pentagon-reports-140-us-casualties-iran/

The Pentagon said on Tuesday that about 140 U.S. service members have been wounded since the U.S. war with Iran kicked off late last month.

“Since the start of Operation Epic Fury, approximately 140 U.S. service members have been wounded over 10 days of sustained attacks,” Chief Pentagon spokesperson Sean Parnell said in a statement to The Hill.

The “vast majority” of these injuries have been “minor” and 108 service members have returned to duty, according to Parnell, who added that eight service members remain listed as severely injured and are getting the “highest level of medical care.”

When asked about a Reuters report that about 150 U.S. Service members have been injured, White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt said that figure is “within that ballpark” and referred reporters to the Pentagon for more information.

Here comes the brown seethe-gloat.

150 American service members have been injured in the strikes on Iran. there 23 instances of various injuries to the lower jaw from American service members astounded that Iran was this level weak. 17 cases of eye trauma from servicemembers rubbing their eyes and asking "You mean we could have just been doing this to them at any point the last 20 years?", 15 "really, wicked bad" cases of hangovers from celebratory drinking, 35 cases of quote "dumb drunk enlisted doing typical dumb drunk enlisted shit", and over 50 cases of abdominal injuries due to service members reading BROOOOCS cope posts about how Iran is not getting fully mogged and dominated and laughing too hard.

Hilarious if true, IRGC running the government because their chosen leader is a vegetable.

They must have learned from the Biden administration.

The supreme leader is a vegetable.
He lives in a hospital.
And I'd do most anything
To keep him alive.

Medics coudn't find his legs,
Replaced them with some wooden pegs
And I'd do most anything
To keep him alive.

He's got a new TV
They call it an EKG
And I'd do most anything
To keep him alive.

Sometimes I like to play a joke
Pull plug and watch him croak
And I'd do most anything
To keep him alive.

They said he can't read the Quran anymore
I said "Its ok, he never did before"
And I'd do most anything
To keep him alive.

Soon will lead us all to victory
but for now uses a catheter to pee
And I'd do most anything
To keep him alive.

His brain activity is none to slim
That makes him the perfect muslim
And I'd do most anything
To keep him alive.

He's been blasted to hell and back
But at least his foreskins's skill intact
And I'd do most anything
To keep him alive.

Address to the nation was just some groans,
Best Ayaollah speech anyone's ever known
And I'd do most anything
To keep him alive.

The supreme leader is a vegetable.
He lives in a hospital.
And I'd do most anything
To keep him alive.

They are indeed that retarded.

Lmao time to watch Xi sit in the cuck chair

He can't lead the daily prayers
But makes Xi sit in the cuck chair
And I'd do most anything
To keep him alive.

I know this is pot calling the kettle here, but you know the poster you are responding to believes Iran has a literal physical gate across the strait, and that closing the strait entailed physically closeing that barrier, right?

https://x.com/FirstSquawk/status/2031433668175212628

We can't stop it.

Why would they use mines? They can just close the gate to stop traffic.

No, that was to show them that they sold out for the illusion of US protection that does not exist. That illusion was the only reason the Arabs who pretended to like us do. Poof. The US can not protect them from Iranian missiles and drones. Perhaps siding with China and Russia can?

Oh no! the US has only shot down 99% of Irans missiles and drones! I'm sure the gulf states are looking at the utterly mogged Chinese equipment smoldering across the gulf, or the fact Russian refineries are getting ACK'd by Ukrainina drones traveling hundreds of miles over Russia and thinking "Wow, We should have really sucked up to China or Russia right now."

Everyone is looking at what happened and DEFINITELY mulitpolaring r/n. They are going to multipolar until they BROOOOOOCS everywhere.

The same people who will tell you with a straight face that Russia's nukes are so old they probably don't even work anyway.

That's just inaccurate. Its not because Russia's nukes are old, its because they've been maintained by Russians that no one thinks Russia's nukes work anymore.

I want ALL of those mines OUT of my STRAIT now now now NOW NOW!!!!!!!!

You needed to thank us for our attention to the matter for that to really land.

Are you in some competition with stud or something?

When homos flirt with each other in public, its really cringe.

Terror bombing campaigns against civvies have literally never worked to break a nation's morale. All blowing up the oil on an already blockaded nation does is turn the populace against you, extremely counterproductive if you want to install a friendly regime.

It never works but everyone always tries it.
