Iran War. . . USA Up 2-0 in the First Period
- Thread starter Tecumsehsbones

Undermining U.S. and Israeli claims to have knocked out much of Iran's stock of long-range weapons, more drones were reported on Thursday flying into Kuwait, Iraq, the UAE, Bahrain and Oman.
Oil prices that had come down earlier in the week after Trump said the war would soon be over blasted back above $100 a barrel.
Iran has said it would not allow oil through the world's most important energy trade route - the Strait of Hormuz that runs along its coast - until U.S. and Israeli attacks ceased, and it would not conduct any negotiations with Washington.
Citibank announced on Thursday it would temporarily shut its branches in the UAE, a day after Iran said it considered banks to be legitimate targets and warned Middle East residents to stay 1,000 metres from them. HSBC has shut branches in Qatar.

Iran has made clear over the past two days that its strategy now is to impose a prolonged economic shock on the world to force Trump to back off.
The spokesperson for Iran's military command said on Wednesday that the world should prepare for oil prices of $200 a barrel because of instability caused by the U.S. That would be well above the highest oil price in history of $147.27 in July 2008, weeks before the start of the global financial crisis.
Trump said Wednesday's announcement of the huge release of reserves would "substantially reduce oil prices as we end this threat to America and the world".
Iran also hit fuel tanks in Bahrain, and drones struck oil storage facilities at Oman's Salalah port on Wednesday. Saudi Arabia said it had also intercepted several drones heading towards its Shaybah oilfield on Thursday.
Earlier this week, Iran's Police Chief, Brigadier General Ahmadreza Radan, warned that his forces would treat anyone who takes to the streets "at the enemy's request" as an "enemy".
"All our forces have their fingers on the trigger and are ready to defend the revolution and support their people and their country," Radan added.
Separately, a presenter on Iran's state television Channel Three addressed opponents of the Islamic Republic and those who might protest against the government.
"When the dust of this sedition settles, we will come after you," the presenter said.
"Confiscating your property will be the least of it. We will make you and your families pay, whether you are inside the country or abroad."

Iran will fight on and keep the Strait of Hormuz shut as leverage against the United States and Israel, new Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei said on Thursday in the first comments attributed to him since he succeeded his slain father.

'Fingers on the trigger': Deadly warnings for Iranians being urged to take action — BBC News
Iran's police chief has warned that his forces would treat anyone taking to the streets "at the enemy's request" as an enemy.
Maybe… but will that be what he wants by suppertime? Or what he wants by 3 AM when he’s crapping out that spicy food while he’s on social media? Or what he wants to come tomorrow morning?
Iran has blacked out the internet. They've warned the people, get in line, or they'll add you to the piles of people they already killed. Between 30,000 and 40,000 protesters.
The more of these Islamic Republic Fuck Heads they kill, the better.
I'm sure Salman Rushdie would like an eye for an eye.

Based on reports from March 2026, the Israeli government has implemented strict measures that can result in 5 years in prison for posting certain types of videos to social media.
Here are the details of these measures:
Targeted Content: The restrictions specifically target the uploading of videos showing the impact of attacks, such as in Tel Aviv, during ongoing conflicts.
Security Justification: Authorities cite these measures as critical for preventing "real-time intelligence" from being used by adversaries to coordinate attacks, aiming to maintain a security "blackout" over impact zones.
Scope: These measures can apply to both citizens and international travelers documenting their surroundings.
Broader Legislation: Similar legislation has been proposed to criminalize the filming of soldiers with the intent to harm military morale or state security, which also carries potential prison sentences.
This action is part of broader emergency, security, and war-time measures aimed at controlling information flow during armed conflict.

Everyone is expecting a false flag. If one happens it's not going to be believed.
Good to see it's performing as designed.
What, you expected a purpose-designed toothless talking shop to suddenly morph into a global superpower?
