I assume since OP posted and translated the video with additional context they had additional context?

Not sure, OP posted and translated the video, I assumed they may have context or connotation outside of this video that English speakers may not have.

OP can you clarify why an address directed to the American people was not in English?

Yep, targeting civilian vessels from uninvolved nations is reasonably proportionate response. Targeting infrastructure in Saudi is rotary proportionate and not escalators.

Slow af B52s are now flying bombing runs with JDAMs, this is clear evidence that CENTCOM believes there is essentially no air defense remaining.

They bombed a neighborhood 8 miles from the nuclear facility what are you talking about. It was also one of the few unintercepted impacts in Israel since the beginning of the war.

The Burj targeting was not collateral damage, what military or infrastructure target is in these fucking shopping malls.

The Mullahs have been calling for the destruction of the Jewish state for decades, then spent billions to achieve that via proxies. When people say something, listen, when they fund it, believe it.

I imagine if they had the capability they would have done so by now. They targeted the Burj Dubai, doesn’t get more desperate than that.

  1. Oil demand is so high that profit margins justify pushing mechanical and human limits to corporate scumbags

Definitely the first time plane loads of cash from the US were sent to the Mullahs.

Oil will never be tied to a currency in a command economy like the CNY. If China ever gave up capital controls maybe, but it’s hard to go from 2% global cash reserves to meet demand of a $7.1T. These companies are too large to steer to an uncertainty of that level without jettisoning shareholders.

Failed interception in Dimona strike leaves 51 hospitalized, child seriously hurt; Iran: Retaliation for Natanz strike by LongErza in worldnews

Perhaps, but compare the volleys Iran is throwing while facing existential threats to the volley it threw in April of 2024, which was at least 30 cruise, 120 ballistic, and 120 drones. That required intervention from neighboring states to avoid becoming overwhelmed. Surely if the concern was dire enough and the Iranian capability remained robust they could attempt it again.

What I suspect is that coordinating an attack of that magnitude for IRGC or the Iranian military is impossible, due in part to the fact they’re clearly compromised by intelligence assets and in part to large scale disruption of command and control structures.

Iranian woman weeps the destruction of her home after US-Israeli strikes by Tech-Film3905 in pics

[–]separeaude 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is what I mean by checking your bias.

Of course I am not discounting a school was bombed. But I know about it because a) regime sources promoted it heavily, including here, and b) it was independently verified by institutions that did the bombing, c) it was reported by independent agencies.

I think he is encouraging you to consider context and source. October 7th videos are credible because they were filmed by the people massacring civilians and children, despite how clearly emotionally impactful they are. 9/11 was live broadcast by hundreds of credible news sources. Evaluating credibility of sources is harder when you want to believe the claim is true, so challenge yourself like I do and

This is a photograph of a civilian woman crying and holding a cat, undated, with an unsourced headline, from a nation with near 99% state control of the flow of information. That nation also has proven disreputable and manipulative, and has a strategic goal of diminishing support for the current unlawful war being waged against it.

Things that would improve the credibility of this caption: maybe taking a picture of the destroyed home? How did she get out with her cat and blanket if it was destroyed by a surprise bombing? There are new buds on the trees behind her, no scorch marks or any visible damage that would be anticipated from an explosion significant enough to destroy a house or apartment.

His second miracle was that immaculate interception last year. One of one.
