The key to the downfall of the Islamic Republic is when it can no longer afford to pay its repressive forces and mercenaries.
The regime has survived economic collapse and repeated nationwide uprisings because it has kept the IRGC, Basij and security apparatus paid, armed and loyal, while also relying on foreign and proxy forces during periods of severe unrest.
That is why the collapse in oil exports matters so much. The IRGC had grown to control as much as half of Iran’s oil trade, tying the regime’s most important source of revenue directly to the machinery that protects it. Iranian oil loadings have reportedly plunged from roughly 1.7–2.2 million barrels per day before the war to around 250,000 in August.
The Islamic Republic can survive an impoverished population if it can still finance repression. But when it can no longer pay the forces it depends on to crush dissent, the foundations of the regime begin to crack.
One of the oldest tricks in the Mohammedan handbook of deception is to accuse disbelievers of not ‘playing by the rules’ or not ‘fulfilling their commitments’, which never means the Mohammedans must keep up their side of the bargain.
The decrepit Obama regime fell for it, willingly, when it handed the mullahs billions without getting anything in return. Trump isn’t that foolish. He wants to see the mullahs play ball.
Trump vows retaliation after Iran’s own ‘retaliatory’ missile attacks on US bases in Jordan.
Eight Iranian missiles were intercepted by Jordan amid the first major tit-for-tat military strikes in a month.
US forces struck Iranian missile launchers on Larak Island, reportedly killing two people.
Iran threatens further retaliation, while regional tensions reignite across UAE, Qatar and Red Sea.
From Al Jazeera:
In a bilateral meeting on the sidelines of the SCO summit with India’s PM Narendra Modi, Iran’s president insisted that “Iran never welcomes war” but the US “has not fulfilled its commitments”.
Iran says it has attacked US bases in Jordan and US military targets at the Al Minhad airbase in the UAE after US forces bombed two rocket launchers on Iran’s Larak Island.
Iran says it has attacked US bases in Jordan and US military targets at the Al Minhad airbase in the UAE after US forces bombed two rocket launchers on Iran’s Larak Island.
UAE’s Defence Ministry rejects Iranian claims that al-Minhad Air Base targeted.
The IRGC says the US attack on Larak Island killed and wounded several Iranian fighters and civilians, according to Iran’s state broadcaster IRIB.
Iran’s President Masoud Pezeshkian has said that Tehran “is not looking for war”, but would “never sit still in the face of any aggression”.
Iran is becoming North Korea.
Unironically. In the islamic regime’s latest law being passed at this moment, they’re banning all scholarships, studies and work in other countries that aren’t approved by the Ministry of Intelligence.
They’re also banning all contact with “hostile entities”, which at this point is basically the entire outside world. In addition to this, the law applies to Iranians already studying and working abroad too.
What does this mean? It means almost everyone in Iran is banned from moving out the country for work or studies unless they are regime-linked.
This locks down the entire younger generation from ever emigrating. It also means millions of Iranians abroad will be arrested if they dare travel back, even if they have no activist or political history, because they probably work or study in “unapproved” institutions.
Step by step, the islamic regime is locking down the country and turning Iran into a true open air prison. Hell on Earth.
Long bus lines are forming at Iranian fuel stations as gasoline and diesel run short. – Iran Wire.
Australia’s cowardly politclowns are blaming lawful gun-owners because their own authorities issued a gun licence to a known terrorist. They installed a Police Commissioner, who said the two Muslims at Bondi Beach shooting Jews were not religiously motivated. They do not make Australia safer. They fund Islamic terrorism. The Lyin King Al Bozo said we had to address “Islamophobia” & the rise of “Neo Nazis”- Islam didn’t get a mention.
I’m sure the criminals are lining up to return their guns.
Using the Bondi tragedy as an excuse to target lawful firearms owners is disgraceful.
While our leaders refuse to have the difficult conversations about radical Islam and immigration, they find it much easier to target law-abiding Australians. The irony is that so many within Australia’s firearms community stood shoulder to shoulder with the Jewish community after Bondi.
They should not now be made scapegoats for a tragedy they did not cause.
After the Bondi massacre by two Muslims extremists the Lyin King put on a kippah to attend a memorial service. He was loudly booed because he was refusing to hold a royal commission into Jew hate. His focus was his BS gun buy back. Only NSW has signed up.
Perhaps the biggest Australian Labor Socialist coverup in Australian history. Those celebrating Judaism at Bondi were targeted by radicalised ISIS supporters who followed the terrorist Islamic preachers you traitors in Canberra brought into this country to spread their ideology.
This Albanese government granted millions in taxpayer dollars to establish their schools preaching radical indoctrination. Even worse, you pushed our intel agencies out of the national security apparatus responsible for monitoring security threats. We have now had a Royal Commission into the radical Islamic Bondi attack and there has not been a single recommendation to investigate and evaluate the NSW Police Firearm Division responsible for issuing the perpetrators with firearms licenses.
These criminals were even cleared to buy multiple of the same type of firearm. Under current laws this is extraordinary. Each firearm permit must by authorised on the basis of need which must be detailed in the application for approval. So what we actually have is a police officer that has failed in its responsibility, at best, and now we have both federal and state governments seeking to place responsibility onto proven responsible firearms owners.
The equation is simple: Neuter the intel agencies + import terrorists + disarm the population = defenceless, subservient citizens. Canberra is the problem, not the solution. WESTMINSTER MUST BE CRUSHED. 125-years of failure. Remember what Netanyahu did after 10/7. He gave every citizen in the country assault rifles and handguns with as much ammunition as they could carry. Crime ceased immediately.

Christopher Hitchens: ”In 1786, when the United States was barely a country, it was having its sailors taken as slaves by the Barbary states, the states of the Ottoman Empire and North Africa. Tripoli, shores of Tripoli. Ships stopped, its crews carried off into slavery.
We estimate 1.5 million European and American slaves taken between 1750 and 1815. Jefferson and Adams went to their ambassador in London and said, why do you do this to us? The United States has never had a quarrel with the Muslim world of any kind.
We weren’t in the crusades. We weren’t at war with Spain. Why do you do this to our people and our ships? Why do you plunder and enslave our people?
The ambassador said very plainly, Mr. Abdul Rahman said, because the Quran gives us permission to do so, because you are infidels, and that’s our answer.
Jefferson said, well, in that case, I will send a navy which will crush your state, which he did. Islamic fundamentalism is not created by American democracy. It’s a lie to say so. It’s a masochistic lie, and it excuses those who are the real criminals, and blames us for the attacks made upon us.”
To the shores of Tripoli
The actual quote Hitchens cites is even more illuminating, tying the acts of the Barbary Pirates directly to the Koran:
When Jefferson and Adams asked “by what right the Barbary States made war on nations that had done them no harm, the ambassador responded that it was founded on the laws of their Prophet, written in the Quran: all nations that did not acknowledge Muslim authority were sinners, and it was the right and duty of Muslims to wage war against them, enslave their people, and take their property. He added that any Muslim killed in battle would go to Paradise.”
This account is documented in a March 28, 1786, letter from Jefferson and Adams to Congress, describing the religious justification provided by the ambassador for the attacks on American vessels.
“Resist it while you still can and before the right to complain is taken away from you which will be the next thing ” – Christopher Hitchens
The Second Barbary War was a brief military conflict between the United States and Algiers in 1815, aimed at ending piracy and tribute demands from the Barbary States. The war concluded with an American victory, resulting in the cessation of tribute payments and the release of American captives.
The Second Barbary War, also known as the Algerine War, was a conflict between the United States and the North African Barbary States, primarily Algiers, in 1815. This war marked the end of the United States paying tribute to pirate states for safe passage of American ships.
The war was primarily fought against Algiers, one of the Barbary States, which included Tripoli, Tunis, and Morocco.
02The conflict was sparked by the Barbary pirates’ practice of capturing American merchant ships and demanding ransom for their crews.
03The United States had previously paid tribute to the Barbary States to prevent attacks on their ships, but this practice ended with the Second Barbary War.
04President James Madison declared war on Algiers on March 3, 1815, marking the beginning of the conflict.
Commodore Stephen Decatur led the American naval forces during the war, earning a reputation as a national hero.
06Decatur’s squadron consisted of ten ships, including the flagship USS Guerriere.
07The first significant battle of the war occurred on June 17, 1815, when Decatur’s squadron captured the Algerian flagship Mashouda.
ISIS has threatened terrorist attacks in Spain if Madrid continues resisting pressure over Ceuta, the Spanish territory in North Africa.
Imagine that. A muslim country let’s 70k mostly mid-20’s men flood another country and then a terrorist org says they will attack if you remove them.
The warning comes after more than 70,000 migrants crossed into Ceuta in late July, prompting Spain to declare the city a national security concern and deploy additional security forces. Spain is already under a heightened terrorism warning, while recent unrest in Ceuta has included attacks on military personnel and fresh calls for EU border assistance.
…president of the Association of Spanish Troops and Sailors (ATME), stated the “very serious aggression” shows “our military is helpless”…
The attack targeting a military patrol in the Benzú area of Ceuta last night was a pre-planned ambush rather than a spontaneous clash, according to preliminary findings from the National Police. Now, military sources are speaking of soldiers who are unable to use physical force, have no weapons, and are vulnerable to such attacks in the future.
Regarding the ambush, police investigators at the scene discovered an abnormal accumulation of heavy stones that did not match the natural geology of the terrain. Police believe the projectiles were intentionally stockpiled at the location in advance, setting a trap for a vehicle or convoy passing through the area.
Images of damaged military vehicles have gone viral across social media. Multiple vehicles suffered smashed windshields and other damage in the attack.
🇪🇸🔴 5 migrants tried to gang rape a 12-year-old girl as she screamed for help, said locals in Ceuta who stopped the attack.

And soon Muslim migrants from Ceuta will enter Europe. When 80,000 Muslim migrants invaded the Spanish territory of Ceuta through Morocco, the Sanchez government refused to declare an emergency because mass migration wasn’t classified as an emergency. Three weeks later, PM Pedro Sanchez came back from vacation and announced that he will declare a national security crisis under a […]
After bombing his neighbours, the Mojito mufti calls for “unity & friendship”…
Iranian officials have also repeatedly threatened neighboring governments against cooperating with President Donald Trump’s escalating economic campaign against Tehran.
Or else…!
Earlier this month, former Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) commander Mohsen Rezaei warned countries in the region that Tehran would consider them enemies if they joined Washington’s economic campaign and would strike their interests if they cooperated with the United States.
U.S. forces struck two Iranian rocket launchers Sunday after the military observed Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) forces preparing to fire rockets carrying sea mines into the Strait of Hormuz, prompting Tehran to vow retaliation in the first known American strike inside Iran since late July.
Iranian “Supreme Leader” Ayatollah Mojtaba Khamenei called on Gulf states to unite against the United States and Israel as their “real enemy” in a written message Sunday, an overture to neighbors Tehran has spent months attacking and threatening as the Islamic Republic faces mounting military and economic pressure.
Though most Democrats have all along shared the same hawkish attitudes & rhetoric when it comes to Iran…
Iran continued:
“We tell all the countries around us not to join the United States in its economic war, otherwise we will consider them enemies,” Rezaei said. Iranian officials subsequently warned that participation in the U.S. economic offensive could amount to an “act of war.”
The confrontation has also cost Tehran economic ties with its neighbors. The United Arab Emirates, historically one of Iran’s most important commercial links to the outside world, suspended all trade, commercial exchanges and financial transactions with Iran earlier this month after accusing Tehran of renewed missile fire toward the country. Iran denied launching the missiles.
Hosting US bases ‘an asset’ as well as ‘a liability’ for Jordan
Al Jazeera’s Rob McBride says Jordan has been “very much on the front line of the fighting” since February, with missiles exchanged between Israel and Iran crossing its airspace, and some intercepted over its territory.
Trump reiterates that Iran must not be allowed a nuclear weapon
Trump has repeated his position that Iran must never obtain a nuclear weapon in an interview with Fox News.
“You cannot let them have a nuclear weapon, and they won’t have a nuclear weapon,” he said, describing Iran’s leadership as “very violent, evil people”.

Iraq is seeking to “be a bridge” between Tehran and Washington, the Iraqi prime minister’s security adviser, Qasim al-Araji, has told Al Jazeera.
Trump can squeeze Iran economically.
But a deal is not the same thing as peace.
Golda Meir understood what too many Western leaders still refuse to admit, you cannot negotiate lasting peace with someone who has come to kill you.
The Iranian people are not the enemy. The regime is.
And that regime has shown the world, over and over again, that ideology comes first, human life comes second, and every deal is just another delay.
Obama’s Iran deal did not solve the problem. It kicked the can down the road.
The question is whether America is finally ready to stop pretending paper agreements can change the nature of a regime built on hatred.
Oil jumps more than 2% after US attack on Iran’s Larak Island
Oil prices jumped more than 2 percent, with Brent back above $90 a barrel, after US forces struck two Iranian launchers on Iran’s Larak Island in the Strait of Hormuz on Sunday.
U.S. FORCES TAKING THE LEAD AGAINST IRANIAN FIRE
Fox’s Trey Yingst says the latest attacks on U.S. bases are being treated “extremely seriously,” with more responsibility for stopping incoming missiles shifting directly to American forces on the ground.
CENTCOM is increasingly relying on U.S. soldiers operating air-defense systems to intercept the incoming fire. Yingst recalled Trump describing watching American troops respond to an earlier Iranian attack in real time as “amazing to watch,” impressed by how quickly they reacted and successfully intercepted incoming missiles.
The stakes are obvious. Previous Iranian barrages have penetrated defenses and killed U.S. troops in Jordan, prompting direct American retaliation.
Europe is going to stop being a serious civilization within this generation and almost nobody is willing to say it in those terms.
Europe is actually ending as the thing it has been for the last five hundred years. The continent that produced the scientific revolution, the industrial revolution, global empire, liberal democracy, and most of the intellectual and cultural inheritance the modern world runs on is genuinely going away.
What replaces it will share some of the same geography and some of the same languages but it will not be the same civilization.
Screenshot
The six weeks of jet fuel is not the story. The story is that this is the visible consequence of a civilization that has lost the will to sustain itself.
Europe stopped having children. Europe stopped producing its own energy. Europe stopped defending itself. Europe stopped building industrial capacity. Europe stopped growing its economies n real terms. Europe stopped believing in its own cultural inheritance enough to pass it on. Each of those is individually a crisis.
Together they are civilizational suicide in slow motion. The demographic collapse is the terminal condition.
1.3 to 1.5 fertility for a generation means the native population will halve within two generations. Replacement migration from culturally distinct populations is not continuity of the civilization. It’s substitution.
The continent will still exist. The population will be different. The culture will be different.
The political systems built around the old population will be under stress they weren’t designed to handle.
This is happening now and it’s not reversible because the children who would have been the Europeans of 2060 simply were not born. The energy crisis is the near term manifestation of a deeper rot. Europe built its prosperity on cheap Russian gas and cheap Middle Eastern oil while taking moral stances against both.
It shut down its own nuclear capacity. It limited domestic extraction. It bet that the transition to renewables would happen faster than the old supply chains would fail. It lost that bet.
Now it’s rationing energy in its wealthiest cities and telling citizens to stay home in pajamas to save fuel. A continent that was producing most of the world’s advanced manufacturing in 1990 is now debating whether to run the air conditioning. That’s not a crisis. That’s a collapse. The military situation is the silent emergency that will determine everything else.
Europe has functionally disarmed over the last thirty years. NATO defense spending is a fiction in most European countries. Ammunition stockpiles are months, not years.
Industrial capacity to produce military equipment at scale doesn’t exist. The continent cannot defend itself from Russia without American support and American support is not reliable.
If the US decides Europe’s security is Europe’s problem, which Trump has been explicit about, Europe has no independent capability to protect itself. A continent that can’t defend itself is not a civilization. It’s a protectorate. That is the real story.
Sidney Powell’s words put religion at center of debate.
Powell says Muslims should get no accommodations and wants them deported from the United States.
She calls Muslims seditionists. She also claims their presence is meant to destroy what America stands for.
That’s not something “she claims”.
That is their well documented, declared duty.
The post targets Muslims as a religious group, not specific people accused of specific acts.
Congress says the First Amendment protects the free exercise of religion.
Congress also says government cannot regulate religious beliefs as such.
That creates a constitutional limit around policies aimed at people because of their religion.
Laura Loomer has made explosive allegations about what she claims is happening inside mosques across America.
Loomer stated that mosques are being used to stockpile military-grade rifles, grenades, knives, and explosives to arm military-aged Muslim men and illegal immigrants. She described it as a coordinated warfare operation aimed at subjugating Americans under Sharia law and urged people to arm themselves in preparation for what she called “Islamic jihad.”
Islam is not only a private faith. It includes a comprehensive legal, political, and social system with doctrines on governance, law, warfare, and submission.
Americans have every right to demand investigation of:
– Foreign funding of mosques and Islamic organizations
– Radical preaching and extremist networks
– Any credible reports of weapons stockpiling or preparation for violence
Religious liberty protects worship. It does not protect criminal activity, terrorism, or efforts to replace the U.S. Constitution with Sharia
