    So you missed this. I mean, it was right above the two that you quoted so I totally understand why you didn't see it

    There is an “incident” or “fire” in Iran every day, for almost five weeks now, starting with the Zagros forest fires. It all looks to be deliberate and coordinated. The “Maximum pressure” campaign appears to have sunk to a new level of open sabotage and vandalism of natural sites and civilian infrastructure which is a war crime.

    Iranian regime is so desperate for cash that it is going for a 25 years contract to give significant rights to China over Iranian oil and gas resources and rent Kish Island in Persian gulf to China. This is shameful.

    I have an alternative for Mullahs. They can rent their mothers, wives and daughters to Chinese workers. Regime supporters should follow their lead as well.

    There are reports of several explosions from west of Tehran on Twitter, connecting them to factories that make uranium enrichment equipments. Israeli agents are apparently super active on dealing with Iranian nuclear issue.

    :cautious: I hope no innocent ordinary people get hurt on cross fire. This shit can spill over and get nasty, if Iranian regime retaliates.

    Here is the aftermath of explosion in Natanz (major uranium enrichment facility).

    Not quite the same kind of explosion but it’s certainly explosive. WTF are they up to? Or are they doing it while they think they can, with our Supreme leader pulling the pants down on our security.


    Iranian state hackers caught with their pants down in intercepted videos
    IBM researchers steal 40GB of data from group targeting presidential campaigns.

    Iranian state hackers got caught with their pants down recently when researchers uncovered more than 40GB of data, including training videos showing how operatives hack adversaries’ online accounts and then cover their tracks.

    The operatives belonged to ITG18, a hacking group that overlaps with another outfit alternatively known as Charming Kitten and Phosphorous, which researchers believe also works on behalf of the Iranian government. The affiliation has long targeted US presidential campaigns and US government officials. In recent weeks, ITG18 has also targeted pharmaceutical companies. Researchers generally consider it a determined and persistent group that invests heavily in new tools and infrastructure.

    Meanwhile regime supporters and ultra religious folks hit themselves and mourn the death of their Imam 1400 years ago. The social distancing is so ... :thumbsdown:

    Watch who are we dealing with in a theocracy.:D . Imagine American ruling class and supporters were all Tele-evangelist nutjobs.

    There are more Iranians beating themselves while wearing masks
    than
    Americans beating their eardrums by attending Trump's acceptance at the RNC.

    Similar religious fervor
    Similar lack of social distancing.
    More masks in Iran.

    Trump fan boys are not near annoying this mofos. These idiots broadcast religious songs till 2 am from laud speakers in cities and don't let you to sleep. They want to keep you mourning in your own house all day and night. While they arrest any person for having a party or loud music in day time.

    Biden wants to get back into the nuclear deal. So this is more Bibi-Prince Bonesaw-Trump douchiness.

    Israel murdering civilians on foreign soil is nothing new. The West facilitating it or turning a blind eye to it is nothing new either.

    "(Name your country*) murdering civilians on foreign soil is nothing new."

    It is a very sad state of affairs in international affairs. Personally, extra-judicial killings disgust me, regardless of who does it.

    *US
    Israel
    UK
    Russia
    Saudi Arabia

    Actually most countries refrain from doing it, and when they do there are severe consequences. Even way back when Napoleon kidnapped the Duc D’Enghien it was accepted that kidnapping or killing people abroad was illegal. When Russia recently tried to kill Skripal the Western alliance expelled diplomats. (Granted they got away with Litvinenko).

    Israel has been killing scientists and non-combatants for ages with no consequences. Not just in one country, it has been doing it as a policy all across the world over many decades with no consequences, it in fact gets support or cover from the Americans and others. They even used western passports in some foreign assassinations.

    Saudi Arabia has killed also one dissident and tried to kill others, it has also kidnapped a few dissidents from western countries and jailed them in Saudi. There should be severe consequences for the Saudis too but there unfortunately won’t be.

    Most of the killing is being done by the US and it's allies but somehow China, Iran and Russia are the threat to World peace o_O
