USA Goes to War Against Iran
Time for a dedicated thread to the war.
How long will it last and what will be the probable outcome?
Again, time will tell but I think you are falling for a social media propaganda campaign that doesn't match what is happening in the real world. And the IRGC is extremely weak and desperate, and it is going to take a lot more than Jihadi Iraqi brownshirts terrorizing and shooting up the Iranian people for the regime to keep power once the kinetic war ends.
Nothing says winning the war quite like:
- removing sanctions so Iran can make more money than ever before
- firing three top military commanders during a war
- president proposing a $1.5 trillion military budget (40% increase)
- president crashing out on social media about how he's going to bomb power plants if they don't surrender
Apparently, according to an inside leak, Trump regrets entering into this quagmire and only did so it because Bush got an 80% approval rating when he invaded Iraq.
Of course that's just fake news because none of the previous leaks have ever been discovered to be credible, lmao, but imagine killing shitloads of civilians and sending service members to die for polling numbers. Sounds about right.
Good catch. I had my frequencies incorrect. It was only about a My Lai every month.
Looks like this kind of horrors didn't concern you at all until very recently.
Way to go!
Why are you trying to assign rationality to the hopelessly irrational? They cling to the power they have in the real world, because exploiting and raping an entire country is a lot of power. At the same time they welcome death and the prospect of 72 virgins in the afterlife.
I’m not trying to assign rationality to anyone. I’m laughing at the contradiction that was asserted by Elway.
But I suspect that they have instrumental rationality, which makes some of their actions predictable as compared to having no information about them.
It would be easy and fair to characterise most of your posts in the Israel/Palestine thread from not so long ago as "Israel is merely defending itself and if you think there's a genocide you're anti-Semitic".
Then after the death toll reached six figures you disappeared for some reason. Definitely not because of shitposting though.
I got bored with it. We've a new war now.
Hate it when people are suicidal and their only goal is to survive. The worst type of people. Make up your mind already!
Haha yeah. The Iranian regime's actions seem pretty rational. Maintain power because if you get toppled either by the west/Israel or internally you're dead. Plenty of other involved parties, Trump or anti-regime Iranians don't have such obvious choices. Which would have been a really rational reason for Trump not to get involved without a rock solid plan to begin with.
There is no genocide in Gaza. Their cities were flattened because Hamas hid behind its civilians like cowards. I’ve already mathematically disproven the genocide claim.
Boy, Victor, aka el señor geñocidé, really left this post alone didnt he
Wonder why
It’s almost like a seriously unserious person remains super unserious if a specific kind of person attacks what he supposedly believes
I don't typically respond to mongo bc it's already been done to death. Pretty sure you guys know what I would say to it. You want me to post the same thing even more than I already do?
The forum: Victor posts the same thing over and over. It's annoying.
SRM: Victor should post more and refute everything
The far right rapist really said the words ‘there is no genocide in Gaza’ and frothing at the mouth, comrade dipshit, decided to let that alone so he could spend more time railing about *checks notes* some ‘liberal’ talking about rising gas prices
Get ****ed, man. You’re just a white noise POS
Damned if you do, damned if you don't.

This is exactly what I mean. This is something people that are trying to undermine the war effort completely made up, but doesn't hold up to the slightest bit of scrutiny. The IRGC sells all their oil to China on the black market at extremely low rates. In exchange China gives the regime A LOT of support; military, economic, surveillance, etc.
Do you think Trump announcing they are removing sanctions means the IRGC started selling its oil in any appreciable number on the open market? Or that they are now charging China more? Is there any evidence any of these things have happened?
Of course not. Just straight propaganda that doesn't mirror reality at all.
IF Iran started selling oil on the open market at competitive prices it would completely undermine their relationship with China, and China's energy situation. Which would serve us, not the IRGC or China. Completely fake news.

The White House has issued 30-day Treasury waivers for the delivery and sale of Russian and Iranian crude oil and petroleum products, exempting them from US sanctions.

Right... so provide your evidence that they didn't make an average of $139 million per day in March and how that is up from $115 million per day in February.
wouldn't that be about same or less amount of oil in February then march with the increase of price. im sure oil went up more then 20%
This is a good example of you using real numbers manipulatively intentionally or not. They actually sold way less oil its just worth way more so they made more money XD
actually im not even sure they are real numbers. your using the old like I PULLED THESE NUMBERS FRM MY ARSE PROVE ME WRONG strategy.
Usually the way I find these numbers manipulated is they take the amount sold and estimate a number based on global prices inflating it . but as others have said they are selling it cheap. I would bet these are just estimated numbers using current global prices. I can't imagine iran and their allies are publicly disclosing it
ya so oil prices went up 50-60% from feb to march so if they sold the same amount of oil that should equal over 185 million 139 million is a huge decrease. but they are almost certainly not selling at market value

And what?
What actually happened in the real world?
How much oil does Iran normally sell (open and black market)? Who does it sell it to and at what price?
Did the waiver move the needle appreciably as far as any of the above questions go?
anyway allowing your enemy to export oil is the norm set by the ukraine war. We can't exactly tell china they can't buy oil from iran while we still buy oil from russia. its funny watching trump go off script threating it then taco out of it several times. and several times more to come!

Claim: Iran is making more money from oil exports since the war started.
February: $115 million per day
March: $139 million per day

Let me guess... this clown judges poker sessions by how many pots he drags and not how much money he drags.
They are intentionally restricting exports to secure the highest price per barrel.
US president tells Iran: ‘Open the ****in’ Strait, you crazy bastards, or you’ll be living in Hell’; Iran spokesman says ‘our whole region is going to burn’
Trump may be getting desperate. This does not bode well for anyone.
Kuwait is saying Iran struck two power generation and water desalination plants today. A couple days ago:
Condemnation of Attacks on GCC States: In a rare diplomatic shift on April 3, 2026, China’s UN Ambassador Fu Cong stated that China "does not go along with" Iran’s strikes on Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) countries like Kuwait and condemns attacks on non-military targets.
I don't know if I believe China. Then again, there are reports that Iran hasn't simply pushed 'pause' on their internet but is basically shutting it down, firing employees and firms. Maybe the regime is going rogue: $2 million a ship times 100 ships per day.

Hey SPRM! I think putting me on ignore would be your best course of action. It seems certain people in here live rent free in your head. I know you had to put Mongidig on ignore because he was getting you all riled up. If you are not emotionally capable of handling debate from an anonymous poster this place may not be for you. I also worry how this might affect those around you.
Anyhow I will say a silent prayer for you my friend. I hope you find the peace you are looking for.
God bless!
