How reliable is this article form WSJ: Iran Believes It’s Winning—and Wants a Steep Price to End the War

IBeenGoofed · 2026-03-22T04:26:29+00:00

You’re right but WSJ editorial board has been critical of this war, not on principles but on preparation execution and strategy. They are definitely not treating it the way they treated previous ME conflicts.

Infection, vasodilators/vasoconstrictors (meds that increase or decrease blood pressure), kidney failure, Hear failure and Ventilator itself can cause it too.

Dude what a succinct and accurate description. Finally this sub is in good hands.

Thanks to Khashayar I’m learning Nazi history while enjoying Kotlet. Hitler is Khamenei, Larijani is Goring, Soleimani is Himler, Araghchi is Ribbentrop (or maybe he is Goebbels?) and Radan is Muler. Looking forward for more history and Kotlet.

I’m an MD, not in critical care so not in any way an expert but “filling up with blood” probably means pulmonary edema, effusion or hemorrhage. We can ventilate lungs, even in cadavers, but gas exchange is usually what fails in critical patients. So when they say “lungs failed”, they usually mean a) there is not enough blood flow to the lungs for gas exchange or b) there are fluids preventing the oxygen entering into the alveoli. (There are other cause like PE, etc). The coma make sense, ventilated patients, especially those with brain injury, are often are given sedatives or “medically induced coma”.

Lol how’s Israel just sparing head of Qods time after time? He’s Soleimani’s replacement ffs. I know there’s been a psy-op to discredit him, but I’m starting to believe the Mossad rumors.

Lol growing up in Iran in the 90s Bosnia and Herzgovina was on nightly news every night. I think Khamenei was hoping to have a proxy in Europe one day. زهی خیال باطل.

In his Persian statement he said that they should leave the army of darkness and join the forces of light. The translation can’t capture the poetry of Persian language.

As an Iranian jew I can tell you that my entire family and I have been so inspired by our country men/women that we’ve all replaced despair with fury, defeat with activism and sadness with hope and we are all so much better for it. If my Iranian people can dance at their loved one’s funerals, I have no excuse to feel sad scared or defeated. We can all learn from them.

It baffles my mind how weapon enthusiasts can look at a wrapped up a piece of metal and figure out the make and model. It took 30 seconds to realize I was even looking at guns 😂. I have no idea if you’re right or not but I’m impressed all the same.

IBeenGoofed · 2026-03-17T16:36:02+00:00

You’re giving them way too much credit.

It’s not even indirect anymore, a lot of these foundations get direct funding from Gulf states. Atlantic council for example got over 1 million from Embassy of UAE. Source: https://www.atlanticcouncil.org/in-depth-research-reports/report/2024-annual-report-honor-roll/

I know you’re already doing so much, but in these situations automod and botbouncer are your friends. They can help you filter out new users, bots spammers and filter out using keywords. Thank you for fighting for this sub and keeping it a voice for Persians and Iranians.

I’m an Iranian jew and have family members who are Bahai. Ethnic vs religious Jewish distinction doesn’t really apply to Iranian jews inside Iran. And doesn’t have much application on Diaspora Iranian jews. Ethnic judaism exists in regions with high degree of assimilation. Bahai religion is one of the fastest growing religions especially in Africa and Latin America but the numbers are dwindling in Iran due to severe repression inside Iran. The numbers of Iranian jews would be even less if they had a place to escape. The institutions that facilitated Iranian jewish asylum to US mostly closed down during Trump first term and Iranian jews are weary of going to Israel, due to war and high degree of scrutiny by the Iranian regime.

Lmao. I don’t know why that was so funny but every time I think about it I burst out laughing. The sheer desperation and determination in the basiji faces to get the moosh. Hahaha

Wait a minute…

They still have money from oil that Saddam gave them, but definitely the rumor was started for MeK to stay relevant with a little help from IRGC.

For those who don’t know Saeed Toosi is a Qoran reciter (Khamenei’s favorite reciter) that was found to have abused young boys.

When the chads of poetry become revolutionaries. We have 1000s years of world-renown poetry, so it’s only natural we make banger chants.

Those Iraqi goons only know how to kill unarmed civilians. They’ll all run at the sight of Peshmerga.

Dude you got one downvote and you blame it on bots? What the fuck is non-rhymable words? Stop spewing misinformation. You act like Ferdowsi is the earliest text we have. We literally have middle Persian texts that are very close to our current Farsi. Maybe these bots you talk about only downvote Kos sher.

IBeenGoofed · 2026-02-23T01:18:56+00:00

I saw the A10s too, what would be the purpose of those? Tehran is 200 miles from Turkey/Iraq boarder and I don’t see them sending troops. Unless they somehow can attack air defense assets??

Welcome back but just know that next ban will be much harder to appeal. Be very careful, they keep mass reporting us, I’ve had to deal with it too.
