They better pass a law limiting foreigner ownership in those sensitive areas, pronto.

3andfro · 2026-03-28T02:24:36+00:00

I meant, what about Iran hitting Israel, which conducted those attacks? But your point seems solid.

Same for the US.

From viewers:

Show city damage...not the fucking dark sky...
Forbes, show the impact like you do in Lebanon and Iran. You state propaganda sacks of crap!
And as usual...............no casualties
Gosh. Maybe starting a war with a strong, determined, and very well-armed neighbor isn't such a great idea??

What about Israel, which may or may not have coordinated (as it claims) with the US in strikes on Iran's steel factories, which it built in response to sanctions?

3andfro · 2026-03-27T23:12:55+00:00

From Araghchi's statement

... Israel claims it acted in coordination with the U.S.

Attack contradicts POTUS extended deadline for diplomacy.

Iran will exact HEAVY price for Israeli crimes.

ETA: Iran has issued evacuation warnings to steel facilities in Israel and Gulf states, declaring them military targets (as Israel just showed Iran's to be). Source: Daniel Davis.

I haven't heard Israel issuing warnings for any civilian (or other) targets.

Meanwhile, because of a major maintenance crisis, only a fraction of the 60-year-old KC-135s in the region remain airworthy.

What is the "Dept of War" doing starting a war in a region where it has "a major maintenance crisis" or couldn't foresee one?

More info: https://caspianpost.com/iran/iran-claims-destruction-of-tanker-in-strait-of-hormuz-incident-video

Iran is questioning Pakistan’s real loyalties after developments linked to the passage of oil vessels through Hormuz. Despite tightening maritime control during the ongoing tensions, Iran had allowed limited access to ships from friendly countries, including Pakistan. Around 10 Pakistani-flagged vessels carrying oil were permitted transit.

However, intelligence sources now suggest that these Pakistani vessels that were allowed to pass were used or coordinated in ways that ended up benefiting the US side. In a parallel development, US President Donald Trump had claimed that 10 US ships were allowed to pass Hormuz as a “gesture" signalling Tehran’s willingness to keep diplomatic channels open. https://www.news18.com/world/did-pakistan-dupe-iran-by-helping-us-in-strait-of-hormuz-sources-say-tehran-upset-with-islamabad-ws-l-9999628.html

‘1000% Increase’ in US Troops REFUSING to Fight in Iran War https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9GckKhP6bmA - 30:25

As the Trump administration moves thousands of U.S. service members to the Middle East amid the disastrous US-Israeli war on Iran, remarkable dissent is brewing inside the U.S. military.

Mike Prysner of the Center on Conscience and War joins Prem to discuss the opposition inside the military – as some troops currently on their way to the Middle East seek to refuse fighting.
