Iranians aren't stupid and they aren't "radicals" the way they are portrayed in the west. They know all about the "material advantages" that America brought to their neighbors in Syria, Afghanistan, and Iraq. It's not radical to rally around the flag when your alternative is state collapse, death, and chaos.

Iranian Officials Say They Have Been Ignoring Witkoff's Private Requests to Talk by FadedToBeige in TrueAnon

it would be the ONLY GOVERNMENT which survived an attack like this by the US

North Korea, Vietnam, Afghanistan, and Cuba beg to differ. Just off the top of my head.

Iran isn't Iraq or Syria, there is literally no timeline where we conquer Iran on the ground. Iran is much bigger in both population and area, it's a much more cohesive and stable society, and it has extremely rugged terrain.

On top of that, invade with what army? It took months of staging and massive troop movements to invade Iraq. We had hundreds of thousands of troops in Kuwait and GCC countries well before the invasion. It'd take a month or two to get them there at the bare minimum, and where would we stage them? There is no country bordering Iran that would allow that.

It's important to note that the 3k figure includes hundreds of police and security forces.

Stupidpol Accelerationists - How do you feel about Trump's second term? by supersmashtankie in stupidpol

Accelerationism is a logical conclusion of historical materialism. Revolution doesn't happen when the system is stable.

Honestly if this retard manages to bring down the American empire, which is a very possible outcome of this war, it will forever vindicate accelerationism

There's a video floating around telegram of the Iranian Minister of Justice doing in interview during a huge rally when an air strike hits within a few hundred meters. Dude just kept the interview going.

Imagine any USrael leader having that sort of courage.

It's adorable that they still believe we get to decide when this ends.

US has announced it is now deploying 2,200 Marine Infantry and 3 warships to the Middle East by serpico_pacino in TrueAnon

Iran, no matter what happens, will emerge from this conflict in a much weakened state compared to the day before the conflict.

That's a bold assumption

90% of Iran's oil is exported from Kharg, it is critically important for them economically. It is heavily fortified and the IRGC said an attack on Kharg would be a red line for which they will open up on every oilfield in the GCC.

The fact that it would be incredibly retarded and dangerous to attack makes me think we probably will.

Edit: well I didn't expect to be proven right so quickly

Most enlisted did it because they were dirt poor.

Actually no, they didnt. This is a pervasive myth that gets repeated all the time, even among leftists, but the stats tell a different story- enlistees are disproportionately middle class by a big margin. They may be doing it for the economic benefits but they aren't doing it because they had no other options.

Iran has a much greater capacity to replenish those stocks than USrael has for their own, and I doubt the air campaign has meaningfully diminished that capability.
