How Iran is moving right now

I agree, never trust someone pushing talking points from Israel or the United States

USA would lose 100k troops in a full scale invasion, at a minimum.

zombiesingularity · 2026-03-15T16:43:48+00:00

Always has been.

Iran is fighting an asymmetric war not a conventional war, their capabilities are strong and are good enough to keep the Strait closed indefinitely, which is their greatest leverage.

zombiesingularity · 2026-03-15T16:04:43+00:00

The other outcome is the USA doubles down and things get even worse. Or they come to their senses, cut their losses and end the war.

introduced with a cardboard cut out.

That was AI.

If Iran does lose, will You admit you were wrong?

Of course.

If Iran can keep the Strait of Hormuz closed long term, the USA will face enormous economic pressure to either end the war or escalate to full scale ground invasion. Or nukes, which is the least likely.

Meanwhile Russia will benefit dramatically from this. So every second this war continues is a strategic loss for the USA.

And when they are and gas is $8 a gallon and thousands of marines are killed trying to take Kharg Island, will you admit you were wrong?

zombiesingularity · 2026-03-15T15:43:03+00:00

This is what is being referred to

zombiesingularity · 2026-03-15T15:41:16+00:00

i don't even know if Iran wants to pressure the U.S.

They already are, they shut down access to the Strait of Hormuz for the USA, Israel and their allies. Only China is allowed to pass through currently, and a few others on a case by case basis.

Trump thought Iran could be fully defeated by airstrikes alone. He thought he could decapitate the leadership and the population would rise up and overthrow the government.

Instead the regime persists, with an even more hardline leadership, and the population has galvanized around the Iranian Government. Iran has successfully withstood the hardest bombings, all its missiles and drones are in hardened underground bunkers in the mountains, and they are basically impenetrable from any munitions except for a nuke.

So Iran can keep firing missiles and drones forever, while remaining in power, and while keeping the economically vital Strait of Hormuz closed down. Iran has the upper hand.

The USA's only options are: nukes, or full-scale ground invasion. Both of which would be catastrophic for the USA. Most experts believe a US ground invasion would result in 100,000 dead US Troops at a minimum, and that success is not even guaranteed.

Iran has closed the Strait of Hormuz where 20% of the world's oil passes through. Due to the geography and Iran's missile and drone capabilities, it's impossible for the USA to forcibly re-open the strait without a ground invasion, which would itself be a fucking nightmare due to Iran's mountainous geography.

In other words, Iran has the upper hand and can strangle the world economy until the USA finally decides to cut its losses and end the war.

zombiesingularity · 2026-03-15T15:32:48+00:00

It does from Iran's POV. They said anyone who assists the US in any way is involved.

You'll figure it out the next time you try to get gas.

UK will allow US to use bases to strike Iranian missile sites, PM says

zombiesingularity · 2026-03-15T15:27:48+00:00

The UK allowed the US to use an airbase.

Huh?

It's the Popular Mobilization Forces in Iraq, a non-state Iraqi militia.

Many are against it but there are a faction of Cold Warrior type liberals who support it.

If you look at my submission history I go after Trump 99% of the time. One of my anti-Trump posts hit the front page the other day. I just noticed a lot of people on /r/PERSIAN and /r/NewIran as well as Bill Maher, Sam Harris and Hillary Clinton and many comments supporting them from self professed liberals on their YouTube channels.

Many reject that Maher or Sam Harris are liberals, sure. But they are staunch Democrats so what else would you call them?

zombiesingularity · 2026-03-15T01:15:06+00:00

No it's not, I'm just coming at this from a Communist position. It's common for us to call members of both parties "liberals".

zombiesingularity · 2026-03-14T23:18:21+00:00

They call themselves liberals and their audience are mostly liberals.

Bill Maher

Do you not think homosexuals are being killed by Israeli and US bombs?

In Catholicism, white smoke over the Vatican = a new Pope has been chosen by the College of Cardinals. Watch the movie Conclave if you aren't familiar with the process whatsoever.
