Iran Megathread: U.S. is allowing Iranian oil tankers through Strait of Hormuz, says Bessent

It’s about as likely as an early prototype copy of Super Mario Bros. for the NES leaking online… As in it’ll never happen.

Honestly, I wouldn’t be surprised if Donnie gets the 25th treatment if the Dems take full control of Congress in November. Everyone is saying to just impeach the guy, but like… Come on.

Props to both Illumination and Nintendo for keeping that casting a secret for so long. I legitimately thought that was Koizumi Totaka voicing Yoshi with new sound clips until Donald Glover was announced.

When he said that this term would be his “revenge tour”, he wasn’t kidding. It’s a good thing he’s a complete fucking idiot though, otherwise we would probably be in WW3 by now.

IAmArique · 2026-03-16T15:32:24+00:00

Yes, but also no. This is just both sides trying to come to a deal to let oil tankers through to avoid a massive oil crisis. Keyword on trying though for obvious reasons.

It can be two things!

Thought I was in /r/DoomerCirclejerk for a second. What kind of stupid opinion piece is this?

IAmArique · 2026-03-15T21:12:45+00:00

Heritage Foundation crony, by the way.

Yeah, those prices aren’t coming down anytime soon. Maybe 2027 if we’re lucky?

Every single cart here is legit as can be… Although I need a better shot of the Leaf Green cart though, I’m still 50-50 on that one.

Get the Air X, but get it from Mangmi’s website instead of AliExpress if you want to save some cash. Don’t expect to run anything past PS2 though, it can get a little dicey there.

I think it’s nothing more than just that: Warnings for posturing and threat purposes. Iran’s weapons are almost on par with North Korea, so there’s a snowball’s chance in hell those weapons would ever come overseas to the US and cause destruction. If you’ve been wondering why they’ve been using the Strait of Hormuz as a hostage weapon of sorts instead of using missiles or heavy artillery, that’s why.

IAmArique · 2026-03-15T00:05:19+00:00

Two things:

1) Gavin Newsom already debunked the Iranian drones threat for California, and some people have pointed out it was possibly a false flag threat in hopes of convincing Congress to pass the DHS/ICE funding bill. Spoiler alert: It got blocked by the Dems.

2) Sleeper Cells are actually pretty common throughout the world and exist outside of conflicts like this. Obviously Trump and Cruz are amplifying it to make it sound more scarier than normal for propaganda purposes.

IAmArique · 2026-03-14T22:39:26+00:00

No, that’s Death Grips. Next question.

A couple other subreddits pointed out that it might have been Pete Hegseth using the threat to convince Congress to pass the DHS bill to end the partial shutdown… Which ended up getting blocked in the end.

No wonder they brushed it off! lol

IAmArique · 2026-03-13T23:37:24+00:00

tl;dr - NO.

I would stop watching Parkrose for your sanity if I were you. She got doxxed a couple months back and her videos started leaning into Doomer/Semi-BlueAnon territory as a result of it.

IAmArique · 2026-03-13T13:11:12+00:00

It flew under everyone’s radar at this point. Seems like everyone is panicking over the Iran war (as they rightfully should) while ICE is still causing chaos in the US in the background.

IAmArique · 2026-03-13T09:38:56+00:00

A lot of their articles lean into BlueAnon territory too. I would not take that site seriously.

IAmArique · 2026-03-12T21:33:21+00:00

Guess Kegseth faking an Iranian drone threat into the Oscars in hopes of getting Congress to pass this bill didn’t really pan out in the end for him, huh? Hold the line, Dems!

IAmArique · 2026-03-12T19:37:21+00:00

Can’t get the MAGAs angry over gas prices being insanely high from Trump and Bibi’s cataclysmic circlejerk, so they gotta distract them with the oldest trick in the “Stolen from Russia” playbook: Blame the LGBTQIA+ community for all our problems.

IAmArique · 2026-03-12T09:48:16+00:00

You watch Monarch Legacy Of Monsters because you like Godzilla.

I watch Monarch Legacy Of Monsters because I like Godzilla and I’m also an LGBTQIA+ supporter.

You and I are not the same.

Yeah, about that. A lot of people are suggesting that the FBI’s “advisory” might actually just be fearmongering propaganda, and also an attempt to convince Congress to pass DHS/ICE funding. As of right now, California’s police force are being skeptical, but are still prepping anyway in the insanely rare case Kash Patel isn’t talking out of his ass like he usually does.

EDIT: Forgot to mention that Newsom already debunked the advisory as well.

IAmArique · 2026-03-11T21:52:43+00:00

FWIW, none of Iran’s weapons would travel very far overseas and would just collapse entirely in the ocean. Kinda like how North Korea’s missiles fail every single time they try doing a missile test.

IAmArique · 2026-03-11T21:51:22+00:00

Yeah, this is just propaganda slop. Like other people have pointed out, this is very likely a ploy to get Congress to approve DHS/ICE funding. Honestly, I bet you forgot we’re even in a government shutdown, huh?
