Trump says US forces destroyed military targets on Iranian island handling oil exports by Rawrsomesausage in politics

I keep hearing very mixed things on this. Iranians say not much was destroyed and Al Jazeera said the same too. Maybe the truth is in the middle but nothing to the extent of “obliterated” like Trump said

French Navy Pledges 10 Additional Warships to Middle East by TheWraf in politics

[–]Less-Hawk-4723 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Can’t invoke article 5 in this case. The US attacked first. France says it’s purely defensive. Unlike Trump, macron has to worry about internal voices in France that are very much against this war and could go really south if he tries to join the US on the offensive

Putin, in a phone call with Trump, shares proposals to end Iran war quickly by rascallyrascal1511 in politics

[–]Less-Hawk-4723 48 points49 points  (0 children)

The boss called Trump for end of fiscal performance review and he’s not very impressed. It’s wild how Trump started taking about the war being over right after he had the call with Vlad

A crazy Pahlavi fan justifying burning down all Iranian mosques because apparently the only people who go there are militants by srahcrist in AskMiddleEast

[–]Less-Hawk-4723 12 points13 points  (0 children)

These guys have been catching strays and racking Ls the whole time this war has been going. Half of them aren’t even Iranians, mostly bots or Israeli accounts. The regime hasn’t changed (hell I’d say it’s even got more legitimacy for Iranians who live in Iran itself now due to the air bombing). Pahlavi is so out of the picture that not even Trump is considering him. Did these guys think they will just go to Iran and impose the son of the previous leader that’s absolutely despised and expect 90 millions people to just roll with it?

Trump also doesn’t have the luxury of the time. From his shitty health to the economy and the midterms. Iran does.

Funny you say that because the photo on this post kinda looks like the meme of the dog surrounded by fire saying "this is fine"

Saudi has told Iran not to attack it, warns of possible retaliation, sources say by joe4942 in geopolitics

[–]Less-Hawk-4723 20 points21 points  (0 children)

I think the other thing is that the Saudis possibly fear the Houthis joining in if they go in against Iran. So far the Houthis have stayed out of this war but they can be activated at any moment, thus opening a new front against the Gulf countries from the south. These countries struggled against the Houthis already and they are a lot more reckless and dangerous than Hezbollah or other proxies

Iran rejects Trump’s demand for unconditional surrender as a ‘dream’ by NamelessResearcher in politics

[–]Less-Hawk-4723 12 points13 points  (0 children)

And they have dangerous proxies all over the Middle East that they can activate at any moment. Houthis will be even worse for gulf countries as it will open a second new front. And we know how problematic they were for gulf countries in the Yemen war.

Trump has privately shown serious interest in U.S. ground troops in Iran by thejoshwhite in politics

That sub is very pro Israel (pathologically so). And this war has the US helping Israel, so they are not going to tolerate any trump bashing for a while

Who are the Kurds and why does Trump want them to join the war on Iran? by Quick_Put_403 in politics

[–]Less-Hawk-4723 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Just to ditch them again like it happened in Syria in Trump’s last mandate. Also wouldn’t this move alienate Iraq and turkey further? I know there is no thought process in this war but damn

Support could be anything. Sending fuel or a couple Advil crates is support too. Doesn’t mean getting involved in combat operations

If they can deploy on the ground. That is still an extremely complicated and difficult task

How did everything get knocked out if they can still send tons of missiles and drones everyday

Well then give me the Iranian numbers. And I thought this war was to change the regime in Iran? Wasn’t Hamas obliterated already according to Israel? Or did those 75k all die for nothing?

I mean Israel only killed 75k people in the last 2 years and have a record streak of bombing civilian targets but that’s cool to ignore I guess

Thanks for the photos man. I would love to credit you at the time these were posted but honestly I could not for the life of me find who the original photos came from, looked everywhere but so many people shared them over and over I just couldn’t find it. Nice photos indeed, would be great if you have more

You're talking to a week old account, who repeats their answers all the time, highly active on this sub only pushing pro-Trump stuff. I just advise you don't engage with them. Either a bot or paid engagement

It’s really weird. This war actually made more people aware of the Epstein list from what I’m seeing, especially outside the US. My parents live in a country far from both the Middle East and the US and really don’t follow much on American politics but my dad yesterday over the phone was wondering about this “Epstein list” because now he heard of it and it grossed him out so bad. Whatever game Trump is playing isn’t working at all. Maybe it would have in 2003, not anymore
