Following Hezbollah and IRGC attacks against Cyprus, the Turkish Armed Forces deployed an ASELSAN Şahin 40 mm anti-drone system for the Turkish-occupied Northern Cyprus

Never heard of this system before, had to look it up. Looks interesting, but why pp small?
Stubby barrel reminded me of bolters on Warhammer 40k tanks

Strikes in Marivan, according to Iranian channels, the targets were: Marivan Border Regiment Command, Bardareh IRGC base, IRIB broadcasting tower, Sepah Square ,Chawg, Imam Peak, IRGC Martyrs Memorial base, and a Border regiment watchtower. Apparently, a few bases in small surrounding towns were also hit, the IRGC base in Bardasheh and the Behkareh base in Hejrat town were also hit.

I take it you haven't seen Obama without a teleprompter, Marionette Biden talking about Cornpop, or... fuck it, Dubya's pressers.

Dubya was a sharper tack than people gave him credit for, but man could not give a press conference to save his life.

Of course I have. That doesn't change my statement or opinion in the slightest. While all presidents fumble, Trump seems to just say shit and let others explain what he "really" meant in the Zeitgeist.

a) Why would there be signs of an Iranian uprising when the soon-to-be-Shah has just reinforced the message of telling people to stay in their homes for now?

b) Why are these news organisations so breathless in reporting a stock-standard, reasonable statement that acknowledges all possibilities (such as the IRGC staying in power)? Specifically, why are they focused on that one possibility - that they will stay in power - rather than all possibilities?

Iran desperately strikes out at cargo ships while there ayotallah is legless and comatose in a hospital. Xi sits back in the cuck chair watching in despair and thinks why are we allied with these sand niggers

It's the exact opposite. Our influence in the Middle East is going to be replaced by China now. Almost immediately. We're witnessing the end of the petrodollar in real time and dumb people who don't understand what that means are cheering it on.

Lmfao.

Out of curiosity, walk me through how removing the singular destabilizing regional threat to the straight, a critical Chinese economic asset, empowers China and undermines America.

A shipping corridor China actively uses is being targeted by there own ally. How is this good for them. If anything its actively pushing China away from Iran. Xi is getting really comfy in that cuck chair.

Because the primary belligerent in this war has demanded Iran's unconditional surrender and everyone knows that isn't going to happen. So now what? How do you come back from that?

I mean, one of those officials is literally named, though.

Not true. The only named people in the article never actually said anything of what the article is claiming the Israelis have said.

The sources for the article's title "Israel sees no certainty Iran’s government will fall despite war" mentioned in it are not named at all.

Nothing of what Saar have said corroborates the headline, or the general message the article is trying to push. Only their supposed unnamed sources are.

I have gone through the most important posts on the last few pages, but where can I get a 101 on the state of this so far? It's all over the place on this thread.

Unammed Israeli official: "there is no certainty the war against Iran will lead to a collapse of its clerical government"

Israel Foreign Minister Mr. Saar: "Iran’s government could survive the war"

I feel like this is pretty much the same statement, no?
