Iran, Kharg Island & the Fake News Problem

From GoV:

Hamas issued a statement today urging the Islamic Republic of Iran to halt its retaliatory strikes on other Gulf countries. Meanwhile, the IRGC issued a new threat to strike “economic centers and banks” linked to the United States and Israel.

In other news, the California state legislature has introduced a bill that would designate the Muslim holidays of Eid al-Fitr and Eid al-Adha as state-recognized holidays.

Buildings three blocks away from the site of an overnight Iranian missile impact in Tel Aviv showed signs of damage, including cracked windows, on Monday.

Closer to the impact site, businesses and apartments were largely bombed out. A 15-story high-rise overlooking the impact site over a parking lot was left entirely windowless.

Despite the paucity of safe rooms in the area, only four people were hurt in the attack and treated for light to moderate injuries, Tel Aviv’s Ichilov Hospital said. Continue reading Iranian Missiles Hit Tel Aviv

The president explained that the United States chose not to destroy the island’s oil facilities — at least for now.

“Our Weapons are the most powerful and sophisticated that the World has ever known but, for reasons of decency, I have chosen NOT to wipe out the Oil Infrastructure on the Island,” Trump wrote.

President Donald Trump announced Friday that the United States carried out what he described as “one of the most powerful bombing raids in the History of the Middle East,” declaring that U.S. forces “totally obliterated every MILITARY target” on Iran’s strategic Kharg Island — the regime’s so-called “crown jewel” and primary oil export hub — while warning Tehran its vital energy infrastructure could be targeted next if it interferes with shipping through the Strait of Hormuz.

More Trash Talk from Tehran: Iranians Vow to Teach U.S. an ‘Unforgettable Lesson’

President Trump is quietly dismantling the British Empire Financial System through Iran, which has gone into overdrive to undermine him, his administration, and sow infighting among MAGA supporters via members of Congress, the MSM, and pretend MAGA influencers—and they know it!

Trump just invited China to send warships to protect the waterway China is using to replace the dollar. Read his Truth Social post carefully. It is the most strategically loaded sentence of the war.

Once again for context –

– in the 1950s the UN helped create OPEC while the Bush family owned Zapata Petroleum Corporation (later Pennzoil), – and at the same time that, though oil exploration in Alaska’s north slope began in the 1950s, no public survey reports exist until the mid 1980s and they estimate total North Slope delivery capacity at only 30b bbls, -and in 1960 creation of ANWR in the North Slope took 19 million acres off limits for oil drilling as a wildlife refuge,

– from 1960 to 1973, US consumption of OPEC oil rose to 30% – the oil embargo of 1973 was instituted by Arab nations under the auspices of punishing those who support Israel, but in effect it destroyed the up and coming Iran (a non-OPEC Western ally)

– surely the Bush family had begun their relationship with OPEC before the late ’60s. By the 70s it was well established – the Alaska Native Claims Act of 1971 put 44 million acres of North Slope off limits for oil drilling

– at the same time that Iran was getting their oil cut off during the embaro, G.H.W. Bush was the UN Ambassador, 71-73,

– Bush was director of the CIA from 76-77,

– With significant CIA presence in Iran during the 70s, Bush was succeeded as director by a fellow Naval Academy graduate Admiral Stansfield Turner, who served during the fall of the Shah of Iran which halted all Iranian progress and international oil standing – during the manufactured gas crises from ’73-80, US gas prices rose from $0.53 to 1.25 per gallon.

– during the fake gas crisis, US oil consumption from OPEC countries rose from 20% to over 80% – in 1983 West Texas Intermediate (WTI) a Bush family investment firm, succeeded in lobbying to overcome US international legal restrictions to allow for oil-futures investment in OPEC,

– Even though Saudi Arabia attacked the US on 9/11, the Bush family record of fighting Saudi Arabia’s wars with Iraq and Iran are well documented

Hamas urges Iran to halt attacks on Gulf

Hamas calls for an end to attacks on neighbouring Gulf states while supporting Iran’s right to defend against Israel and US aggression.

Hamas has urged its ally Iran to end attacks on Gulf states, while affirming Tehran’s right to defend itself against Israel and the United States in the war they launched.

Hamas on Saturday called upon its “brothers in Iran” to not target neighbouring countries, and urged the region to end the ongoing conflict that has embroiled much of the Middle East.

Iranian Official Defies Purported Message from Cardboard Khamenei, Says Strait of Hormuz Open

Iran’s top diplomat at the United Nations declared on Thursday, “We are not going to close the Strait of Hormuz,” apparently contradicting a message purportedly from the new “supreme leader” of the country, Mojtaba Khamenei.

Iranian leaders announced Khamenei as the new dictator of the country this week following the elimination of his father, longtime tyrant Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, on the first day of the American military operation known as “Operation Epic Fury.” The younger Khamenei’s status remains unclear at press time as he has not appeared in public or issued any video statements since the announcement of his ascent to “supreme leader” status. During an event for the Iranian people to pledge “allegiance” to Khamenei, officials dragged out a cardboard effigy of the man, as he could, for unclear reasons, not attend the event.

“Watch What Happens to These Deranged Scumbags Today!” – President Trump Warns Iran

President Trump:  We are totally destroying the terrorist regime of Iran, militarily, economically, and otherwise, yet, if you read the Failing New York Times, you would incorrectly think that we are not winning.

Iran’s Navy is gone, their Air Force is no longer, missiles, drones and everything else are being decimated, and their leaders have been wiped from the face of the earth.

Really? “The Iranians are willing to die, but the Americans are not…”

The US military would love to mop up in Iran if they would only get the all-clear from the top brass. They are not in the business of pleasing Libturds at home.

‘Iranians are playing a different game’: Ex-R&AW chief Vikram Sood says Iran war likely to go on for longer than expected

‘Iranians are playing a different game’: Ex-R&AW chief Vikram Sood says Iran war likely to go on for longer than expected
.

While the Iranians are willing to die in this war, the Americans are not willing to die on a foreign land, said former R&AW chief Vikram Sood. He highlighted how the Iranians are “playing a different game”, and how that makes a whole lot of difference. 

Speaking to news agency ANI, Sood said, “It’s difficult to say how long it will take, but I think it would last longer than what the Americans thought it would because they were hoping for a short, sharp strike and out. But, the Iranians are playing a different game.They are playing to their strengths. They are knocking off America’s allies, which is creating unrest among them against America.”

“Remember, the Iranians are willing to die, but the Americans are not willing to die on the ground in Iran. They are very very nervous about body-bags coming home. So, they want to keep it to air attacks or missile attacks as far as possible. But that won’t make a difference in the short run. This war, I think the war will go on for a little longer than most expected,” he added.

Any other country has to get the permission of Iran before they can cross.

Iran will target US bases in region unless they are closed: Khamenei

  • Multiple explosions have been reported across Iran’s capital Tehran and other cities as US-Israeli attacks continue.
  • Iraq has shut down oil port operations after deadly attackson two foreign oil tankers as Bahrain, Kuwait, the UAE and Saudi Arabia intercept more Iranian missiles and drones.

Mojtaba Khamenei has insisted that Iran will seek “revenge for the blood of your martyrs”.

Iranian Thugs Chased, Mocked as They Search for Missing Women’s Soccer Player: ‘Get the F*ck Out’

An Australian woman has taken a video of herself chasing and threatening Iranian guards as they frantically searched for five Iranian women’s soccer team members who sought asylum in Australia.

The footage shows multiple Iranian guards – two men and a woman – running down the steps of a hotel in an attempt to catch up with the players. Trailing behind them and mocking them is an Australian woman who lets them know how she feels.

“You’re in Australia now. You’re in Australia, motherf*cker,” the woman yelled.

“Get the f*ck out of our country, IRGC,” the woman shouted, referring to the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, the Iranian regime’s most loyal and fanatical component of the armed forces.

She added, “You’d better run. Yeah, we’re going to get you now. What cowards.” Continue reading “You’re in Australia now. You’re in Australia, motherf*cker…”

Iran: New leader Mojtaba is “obsessed with the end of days & has a complete disregard for the value of human life”

If Mojtaba has no problem killing thousands “of his own people” he also “has no problem killing” thousands in Tel Aviv, Israel.

“If he can kill 13,000 of his own people, then he has no problem killing 100,000 in Tel Aviv, because if you don’t care about the lives of your own people, why would you care about the lives of others in Tel Aviv?” Rajabi added.

Twelver Shia belief holds that the 12th Imam, Muhammad al-Mahdi, who is believed to be in hiding, will return at the end of times to establish a period of global justice in which oppression is eradicated. Islamic apocalyptic traditions also describe major conflicts preceding this era; in Sunni hadith literature, one such event is the Malhama al-Kubra, a great battle sometimes interpreted as a confrontation with Western powers.

The clerics who rule Iran are not afraid of death and believe God Allah is on their side…

Mojtaba is “obsessed with the end of days”:

Iran’s new Supreme Leader, Mojtaba Khamenei, the son of former Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, is described as being “more dangerous,” according to a report.

Carrick Ryan

In my last article, I explained how the religious clerics of Iran effectively hold the nation hostage through rigid constitutional controls that affords extraordinary veto powers to the Ayatollah and his hand-picked Guardian Council.
 
The consequences of this post-revolutionary reality is that any attempt by the Iranian people to elect politicians that might steer the country in a vastly different direction are prevented from ever running for office.
 
But it’s worth taking a closer look at what these clerics actually believe, because while the regime may form a part of an “axis of resistance” against Western hegemony, their motivation and objectives are very different to their allies.
To unpack this, I have no option but to discuss complex religious theology in broad highly simplified terms, otherwise this post will be a book. So by all means add additional context in the comments, but understand the need for brevity on my part.
 
Essentially, the Sunni/Shia split began in 632 CE after the death of the Prophet Muhammad, when Muslims disagreed over who should lead the community: Sunnis supported the election of a political leader (the caliph), while Shias believed leadership belonged to Muhammad’s family, starting with his cousin, with these descendants were known as Imams.

Iran: Mullah Regime Threatens: “Confiscating property is nothing… we will make your mothers mourn you”

The mask is off.

The thugs of the mullah regime threaten the people openly with torture & death if they resist.

IRANIAN STATE TV THREATENS OPPOSITION

Disturbing rhetoric is emerging from Iranian state media. During a broadcast, presenters reportedly issued direct threats against anti-regime Iranians, warning that opponents of the government could face severe consequences both inside and outside the country.

In one chilling line aired on state television, the message included the warning: “Confiscating property is nothing… we will make your mothers mourn you.”

Human rights groups have long warned that Iranian authorities and affiliated groups have targeted dissidents abroad through intimidation, surveillance, and alleged assassination plots. As tensions escalate, the threats are likely to deepen fears among Iranian activists, journalists and opposition figures living overseas.
