Pre-match: The inevitable war with Iran

lol like you WERE familiar with it before you googled it

 

With all those journalists being taken out in Gaza, yeah I was

 

I ask because I do not know and I am curious. How does the 5% manage to control the unhappy 95%?

 

I'm done with this thread.

 

The good news is there's a Gaza-Israel thread for some very similar hijinks

 

It takes deep sociological research but unfortunately people of Iran have a kind of PTSD of the past Revolution. People have been literally RUNNING out of the country for the past ten years. As other posters mentioned, the Brain Drain has been huge. People have learnt that they can save themselves and leave the country than stay and fix this shit and paying the price by their life. Many people are pessimistic about another revolution, they don't think that the country is fixable. On the other hand they severely lack a ruthless charismatic powerful leader like Khumeini in the 70s.

 

Pretty humiliating.

This photo is the reality of what 21st century air dominance looks and sounds like.

Visiting this thread feels like I accidentally walked into an S&M club. It’s filed with a bunch of people who are kinda perverted.

 

New York and Americans are next according to Bibi

 

"And you can thank me, America!"

Half of the country would be like "NYC? meh, don't care"

 

Why is the Iranian state broadcaster wagging her index finger at the audience prior to her tv station being blown up? She giving a speech or something?

 

You mean with all the Hamas terrorist that call them self "journalists"?

 

I hope all big booty weather girls are ok.

BREAKING

The Israeli military has carried out strikes on the building housing the Islamic Republic of Iran’s state broadcaster.

Iran doesn't want any of this beef, this is an Israeli war.

Exclusive: Iran is urgently signaling it wants to end hostilities and restart nuclear talks, sending messages to Israel and the U.S. via intermediaries https://t.co/fuF7VcNFGg

Latest from Bibi - I think this is a huge assumption that could lead to a catastrophic miscalculation.

Khamenei has been a big reason why Iran has not procured nuclear weapons yet.

Not my opinion but straight from Tulsi Gabbard during a Senate Intelligence Committee hearing on March 25, 2025, regarding Iran's nuclear program.

She said:
“The IC continues to assess that Iran is not building a nuclear weapon and Supreme Leader Khamenei has not authorized the nuclear weapons program that he suspended in 2003.”

Killing him now would just remove the last obstacle and Iran would go nuclear. I also think it's naive to believe that Iran doesn't have a succession mechanism in place in case of his assassination.

This was never about nuclear weapons - this is all about Bibi's survival and body bags on all sides will pile up for it

 

Yes, they only want peace so they can build a nuclear weapon so they can destroy Isreal.

 

Yes because you have better intel than Tulsi Gabbard

 

Many are saying the flip is also a correct answer

 

Are you celebrating an attack on the press and a non-military target?

 

It's a coin toss at this point, I agree. If Iran collapse after the assassination of 1 man without any contingency plans, how did that civilization ever lasted close to 6000 years? Personally, I find this doubtful and another attempt by Bibi to encourage NATO to jump in.

I see "projection" as I'm more willing to bet that Bibi being out of the picture would end the conflict

 

I love the way you protect a country that funds terrorists organization, criminals groups in Europe and hates the west.
Its because Canda is a safe haven for terrorist?

 

Deflecting much? Where did I ever said any of the above

 

Yeah.
I can't wait for the ayatollahs to get the kick under their asses out of control of the government.
Numbers like that however seem indeed wishful thinking. Let's not forget the difference between rural and city population either. I'm willing to bet that Teheran could be 75% against the regime, because of the urban lifestyle and exposure to more western influences. In rural communities it might be completely the other way around.
So this "evacuate Teheran, because we're going to bomb it" in my opinion wouldnot create support for any Israeli meddling.
It would only create the notion between non-hard liners/anti-ayatollahs that for Iran to be safe, a nuke is necesary.

 

I've been avoiding commenting in this thread because its such a disaster, but will break my silence to say this: people have been raising the specter of an Iranian nuke for going on forty years now, and we've yet to see them get especially close.

That leads to two plausible conclusions: (1) they aren't trying for a nuke, or (2) they are Dr. Nick levels of incompetent.

 

You could just read the posts of people, who arenot posting bigot shit.
