Iran is kicking things up and I wouldn't be surprised at all if they were behind Hamas' attack on Israel on Oct 7th. We already know they are funding many militant groups in the area but now they have entered the fray by attacking positions in Iraq and now Pakistan. Pakistan said they better stop or they will use force. Pakistan condemns deadly Iranian missile strike on its territory as tensions spike across region | CNN Iran said they hit Israeli intelligence in Iraq but the strikes inside of Pakistan are Sunni, not Jewish. Even China is concerned with these latest developments. The whole region is a powder keg.
Allow them to have billions of tied up funds and resume exporting valuable oil. Bam. Funds are flush, let's go see who we can kill today!!!
damn shame Trump gave them $6B in oil waivers to generate that revenue to begin with How Donald Trump's Oil Waiver Gave Iran $6 Billion (newsweek.com) hhmmm..good thing those funds that Trump allowed them to legally earn got locked down after the oct 6 attack...and the US has seized illegally exported oil U.S. and Qatar agree to prevent disbursal of recently unfrozen Iranian funds : NPR US confirms seizing Iranian oil cargo earlier this year | Politics News | Al Jazeera you really need to diversify your sources of info and get away from the propaganda and entertainment network known as Fox
It's a tragedy President Trump doesn't get more praise for his brilliance in foreign policy. Especially against the backdrop of the chaotic world that has developed under Biden's term. I remember when they called Trump racist for calling out the Chinese. Fast forward to today, lo and behold, even our friends on the left are talking about inevitable war with China. In nearly every single international theatre, Trump was a savant. Bringing Israel and SA to the table alone was a stroke a brilliance. World is falling apart under his successor. Yes, allowing Iran to have funding was idiotic. The only reason he did it is to restore what Obama considered a major success with the Iranian nuclear deal. Now we're striking their proxies. Is that going to start WW3 or does that only apply when Trump takes out a top general who had killed hundreds of Americans?
Holy shit. There is conflict in the Middle East? I thought Jared fixed it all? Not sure what Iran’s endgame could possibly be. Poking the bear is usually effective in getting eaten.
Pakistan hits back. What Iran has been doing the last few days is not directed to the US, unless there is some second level effect that is not apparent. Hopefully the Soufan Center will breakdown
His brilliance in blindly backing Israel and moving the embassy to Jerusalem was almost certainly fuel for Oct 7, his dismantling of the Iran agreement has made them a troublemaker in the region again, and one that will likely soon be nuclear, his bizarre love for Putin helped give them the geeen light for Ukraine, and he legitimized Kim Jung Un on the world stage. Oh and he completely threw our Kurdish allies under the bus for another dictator in Turkey. Other than that, Mrs Lincoln liked the play.
Could be Iran striking the separatists positions inside Iran? Cross border group carrying out attacks in Iran
Everyone hitting “terrorists” tonight all over, which gives you some idea about the flexible usefulness of the term.
I’ve said it shortly after 10/7 and feel more strongly about it today. Iran’s entire military capability should be smoldering ruins by tomorrow morning. A massive widespread strike on all known military capability. Of course they are behind 10/7 and everything else that been going on over there for the last twenty years, except as RealGatorFan noted during the Trump term. GWB labeled them in his Axis of Evil twenty years ago, and that was over twenty years too late.
In view of Trump's latest performances most recently his display yesterday at the E. Jean Carroll defamation trial I would agree considering that the real Trump Derangement Syndrome is the extreme form of Narcissistic Personality Disorder exhibited by the defeated indicted former president.
