The only reason that Israel/US knew where all their nuclear reactors and materials were was because they were complying with the IAEA who was leaking all the information to them. Iran can easily create a nuclear weapon in a hidden location once they drop the delusion that they’ve clung to that they can appease the west.

As for delivery, Iran has hypersonic missiles which could easily serve as a vehicle. No matter how depleted their launchers and rockets get, they can never get all of them. It only takes a couple missiles to credibly threaten the Israelis

This will eventually become the official stated reason for the war since it’s the only “explanation” for this war with any juice among the base

Probably for the best that the cities be mostly evacuated outside of critical workers. Iran is huge, there’s plenty of places in the “country” and more rural areas to house everyone. Having too many civilians in concentrated locations will only result in higher casualties during the zionist terror bombing campaigns.

Trump has given a reason for the war. Iran are evil bad guys and he’s the big strong good guy.

Richard Medhurst had a similar analysis that the only way out of this war on favorable terms for Iran is for them to get a nuke. There’s no other path forward.

True, history is full of examples of colonizers getting frustrated at losing military battles and being ambushed by guerilla forces, and then taking it out on civilian populations.

It’s interesting to me that Iran jumped right from complete passivity and extreme restraint to attacking basically everything in their attack radius. Was there really no steps in between they could have escalated to before?

Reminds me of Ukraine, whenever they lose a major battle they shell Donetsk town square

Both are out-of-staters who moved there and set up camp. It attracts a lot of weirdos in the way that Alaska and Northern Idaho does, if you catch my drift

Same way that before Oct 2023 you could only criticize Israel if you were Jewish. Now you can’t criticize them at all.

Different

GOP snaps into line. Their discipline is truly something to be admired.

Pleasure talking to you.

And I’ll admit my logic is circular, but ultimately I think all worldviews are circular and self-referential. At a certain point you have to establish something axiomatic and build upon that, and I prefer using my senses combined with a discussion with others and their senses, ie the empirical method of descriptivism and dialectics. The religious worldview certainly is circular as well. That’s how systems of belief work, they cycle and change and justify themselves ontologically. I was just describing my system and the language I use within it, which is an outside atheist ex-muslim description with a left hegelian and epicurean foundation.

It’s the Trump administration trying to will things into reality. They are manifesting.

Can’t wait for the 2029 GOP Party Congress, gonna be lit

The Kurds, in Iraq especially, have a deep history intertwined with Israel and Mossad and the Americans. To deny this is ridiculous. Their leaders and organizations are known collaborationist groups who work hand-in-hand with occupiers in Iraq and have Mossad bases on their territory.

It wasn’t even close in reality since the nays could fillibuster it, and the yays are never getting over that hurdle

They really thought they could just wing it like with Venezuela

All according to keikaku

They will, sadly, probably be unleashed upon Iraq again with the rest of the Daesh remnants
