So sorry if I don't believe the media has suddenly become pro-military trigger-puller fanboys, and Team Trump full-MAGA and also become Hulagu Khan x Deus Vult overnight.
Not-so-well-known historical fact: Hulagu Khan specifically was one of the more pro-Christian Mongol leaders, his chief wife was Christian and the army he sacked Baghdad with (in the process effectively destroying the Abbasid Caliphate) included large Christian contingents supplied by his Armenian & Georgian vassals. At Doquz Khatun's request he even specifically told the Christians of Baghdad to mark their doors Passover-style so the Mongol horde would know not to attack those houses & rape/kill everyone within when they were rampaging through Baghdad.

According to Kirakos Gandzaketsi, a 13th-century Armenian historian, the Christians in Hulegu's army took special pleasure in Baghdad's sack.[46]

Hulagu was also the Khan who came closest to forging an alliance with the OG Deus Vult, as brokered through his Armenian vassal.

Anyway, back on topic: new message from Pahlavi, continues urging Iranian dissidents to stay home (especially avoiding any buildings which might be used by the Islamists as a base) and warns that it still isn't go time yet because there are still a lot more dronings in the streets to be done I guess. Also calls upon regime bureaucrats to stop showing up to work & shift allegiances, put their resources to work on the side of the dissidents.



On the subject of drones, IRGC & Basij are now hiding under bridges & overpasses in hopes of not getting droned to death, they appear to have thrown up a portable HQ under this one overpass.



Article going into more detail on the Artesh-IRGC rift, mentions that IRGC's been hogging all the ambulances & medical supplies to leave the Artesh out to dry even more than usual. Also claims that even the IRGC is having trouble mobilizing its reservists, who would rather flee the country than risk near-certain death by reporting to duty. (Archive)
 
Good posts, we need more people who are willing to go against the narrative and pay attention what all sides are saying. Just to add, it's not just air defence that is being send to the region, but an entire carrier group as well.
the southies are capable of maintaining their airspace and their own MIC. the whining over thaad is about the sunk cost of chinese trade. even if the thaads blew up a nork missile, seoul is getting leveled by the arty north of the dmz
 
How many strikes a day are we down to now?
Let's just say, pewdiepie is no longer streaming.



Yeah that was bad I'll see myself out.

Hulagu was also the Khan who came closest to forging an alliance with the OG Deus Vult, as brokered through his Armenian vassal.
Trump is leading the US. The UK might put the king in charge.... if we get an emperor in Japan and some Napoleon style motherfucker in France, then we're back beyond belief.
 
I dunno why everyone is getting down on Iran for hitting Dubai's hotels with drones and missiles. It got all the influencers to clear out of the country. Imagine being completely free of Youtubers & instagrammers. Iran Making the Emirates Great Again.

anyone have a news article about the us asking for a ceasefire?

all i've seen is that Iran will refuse any ceasefire request without compensation.
I have heard nothing about that.
I think there was some cope about Iran saying "America asked us for a ceasefire but we said no!"

but then you have the elected president apologizing to Azerbaijan for their missiles hitting them, but immediately being countermanded by the IRGC so I think the surviving leadership isn't in agreement about next steps.

Ok, Russia is weak, the country has gained territory slowly and methodically for the last four years against the entire west and they are weak.
There it is. :story:
RUSSIA HAS KILLED AN MAIMED A MILLION OF ITS OWN TROOPS OVER THE PAST FOUR YEARS TO MOVE THE FRONT LINE 5KM BUT THEY ARE TOTALLY STRONK! ISSUING TROOPS A TANK FROM THE 60'S IS A SIGN OF A WORLD CLASS SUPERPOWER'S ARMED FORCES.

Please, let's get some more cope about Vlad being raped publicly. Hurry up, I'm about to multipolar.

and has the KGB told you did America lied in this case? We were always very solid on the "stop trying to build nukes or we will end you" w/r/t Iran.

What makes you think this? That a desalination plant got bombed in a county that gets less than 15% of its water from desalination plants while 75% of it's water comes from rivers, lakes, dams, and underground reservoirs? Did you even bother to do a Google search of water sources for Iran before saying this dumb shit?
"Do you even know anything about this situation" and then immediately makes it clear you know jack shit nothing except what your KGB handlers have programmed you.
Those lakes and rivers are drying up, the capital city is sinking into the ground because the aquifers under the Tehran are completely gone, most the dams are less and 20% capacity because they built too many to grift state funds, and a number of reservoirs have ruined their waters because they back up over salt flats, or have dried the land to becoming minerilized and creating dustbowls of salt.

Tehran is already on water rationing and its barely spring. Once those triple-digit days start that's when the fun begins.

Great, then why don't they? Because Isreal would be wiped out and Iran remains in control of 20% of global shipping. The WSJ is reporting Iran is shipping more oil out of the Strait of Hormuz now than they were before this war started. The Strait we've been told the US is escorting ships through, sorry that got walked back. It's the strait Lloyd's List has said isn't safe so shipping companies cannot find an insurance company to insure their trip through the strait.
Muh 20%.
see you keep saying 20%, then using a 20% access of the supply to justify oil futures going to over double and pretend that is normal or expected.

Iran is shipping more oil because the US isn't a bunch of retards invading a neighboring country because its trying to make the USSR. Wait, sorry, wrong group of turd-world retards.
The US isn't attacking civilian shipping or uninvolved third nations. Only Iran is going that heinous shit. They are shipping as much oil as they can because that is the only way they have to raise funds. Paychecks for the military have been late this month.

Gods chosen people sit in a sandpit with little water inbetween countries that will always have more population and resources than they have and amidst peoples that have historical, ideological and religious reasons to hate them. All this forces Israel to do this monkey dance to appease and influence foreign powers overseas in the constant worry that these foreign countries either snap back to centuries of antisemitism or just simply lose interest. Meanwhile the heathen Iranians get this sweet mountain forrtress of a country with huge tracts of land, a secure, fertile region, copious amounts of oil, gas and resources and even an inland sea that allows them trade by shipping routes when navally blockaded. To top it of their country sits on the most important piece of shipping real estate making Iran a valuable, potential ally to pretty much anybody who wants oil. What the hell was Yaweh thinking?
I mean, you aren't wrong but then you have 1948, 1967 and even 1973 as examples of "well, sure those jewish sand monkeys are surrounded and out numbered by a bunch of Islamic sand monkeys.... but the Islamic ones are just really, really garbage at war. Just criminally awful."

Good posts, we need more people who are willing to go against the narrative and pay attention what all sides are saying. Just to add, it's not just air defence that is being send to the region, but an entire carrier group as well.
Lol. I dunno why you think BROOOCS cope & seethe is a welcome contribution to any discussion anywhere. There are not going against the narrative, they are just pushing their own. The level of absolute wrongness of from the unholy BROOOOOCS/TDS alliance is through the roof but they just keep on cuckin'.

never mind, I forgot you are a brown turd worlder.

Also I know you are from a failed nation, but the US has multiple CSGs. We have more.

No I think the news is full of fucking peacenik journoroach cocksucking liars.
The reality is so much worse than what you think.

its like the nato of fuel reserves so we are coming together to dump 400 million barrels into the western supply. 170 million barrels will come from us or about 40% of our total stockpile

last time it was used was ukraine war and we dumped 200 million barrels

A group calling itself "The Islamic Movement of the Companions of the Right" appears to claim responsibility for a bombing on a synagogue in Liege, Belgium on Monday. They've also published footage of them attacking what they claim to be Israelis in Greece.




Their logo is extremely similar to that of Iranian militias (specifically Hezbollah), seems like a Europe-wide Iranian network. Furthermore, both the statement and video appear to have first emerged on online networks associated with the Shiite axis of armed groups, I haven't been able to find a unique channel for this organization anywhere or even any account ran by them.
 
People are dooming because they don't believe the news coming out of the US + Isreal. We've spent the last 5 years minimum if not 10+ years talking about how they news is fake and lying to you and everyone thinks they are telling the truth now? During a military operation where it is expected to lie and hide information?
People love confirming their biases and evidently if that means taking literal wartime propaganda at face value they'll gleefully do it.

Not just that; they'll also create fanfictions about what's happened that no one has reported on or claimed. That's why when I visit this thread instead of the relaying and analysis of real information from both sides I find people shitposting about Weekend at Mojtaba's. Saying his lack of public appearances is proof he's dead as if Iran wouldn't suspect the people that killed the previous ayatollah two weeks ago might be actively trying to hunt down this new one.

If you need to believe the gaggle of Zios at the helm of the U.S. empire is omniscient and infallible and can do no wrong in order to sleep at night just start getting sleeping pills for fuck's sake. Then maybe this thread can serve its purpose.

At least 18 commercial vessels have been targeted across the Persian Gulf and Strait of Hormuz since the start of the war against Iran.



A U.S. LUCAS kamikaze drone struck a base most likely belonging to the Popular Mobilization Forces in Makhmur, Iraq.



The White House posted a Wii-themed edit on the war against Iran.

There is a ton of electronic warfare spoofing going on in the straights, so don't believe anything you see on the civilian shipping trackers.

Pretty sure the cardboard cutout and voice-only calls are doing the heavy lifting on that one, man.

It's not like if they show him sitting at a desk in front of a flag the CIA will crawl out of the camera and nuke him, his complete absence is incredibly weird unless he's either A) severely injured and showing him would fuck up the regimes resolve, or B) dead.

If you're getting your thuper cereal reporting from fucking Kiwifarms of all places and feel the need to take it so seriously that people simply joking around and speculating makes you MATI then you gotta relax.
 
There it is. :story:

I personally stay wary of KIA and casualty numbers posted by both sides as they're never accurate when a war is still ongoing. Pretty sure the best estimate so far is 185,000 Ukrainians KIA with 180,000 Russians KIA. Explanation for the small gap is probably the early Russian successes in 2022 and the very recent ones in October-December 2025. The real numbers are probably very different as this doesn't factor in things like people marked as MIA when they're actually dead and shit like that so the best estimate available isn't even that good.
An argument can be made that Russia is, proportionally speaking here, putting in less effort than Ukraine but this comes down to the logistical limitations with how many men, AFV's, etc you can put on the current line of combat contact alongside the fact that they have to spare forces to garrison areas in Siberia and the borders with NATO member states. Political stability also probably plays a role since the entire RuAF being in Ukraine looks like really bad and would increase their casualties several times over for minimal benefits.
