If you understand who's proxy regime Iran has been for more than a century, you know who Trump is really threatening right now at the NATO summit.

He's threatening the crime syndicate behind NATO.

He's literally sitting there at their summit threatening the fuck out of them in code and they have to just sit there and keep those fake, frozen smiles on their faces while he does it.

Trump’s Iran errors are catching up with him​

Turns out winning a military campaign isn’t so easy, even when you have a commander-in-chief with the attention to detail, diplomatic skill and strategic brilliance of Donald Trump. Having come to power vowing an end to “forever wars”, the US president now finds himself reaping the consequences of his blunders and sinking into a quagmire of his own making.

I see Iran's China made YLC-8B radars "supposedly death to stealth aircraft" along with their Russian made radar networks are working against Yankee air power about as well as Venezuela's did.

And we aren't even bothering to use our stealth war planes to wipe them out. Were using USN 4'th Gen "Growler" Jabo's. Our HARM missilery is so good we can launch them from 100+ miles away and even if they turn the radars off, which they are no doubt doing, the missile itself will use its own MM wave radar to hunt down the radar targets themselves.

U.S. Navy’s EA-18G Growler Destroyed Chinese-made YLC-8B Anti-stealth Radar and Type 305A Radar in Iran.

Based on reports from early 28 February, 2026, multiple Chinese-made air defense radar systems, including variants of the YLC-8B (often mentioned alongside the YLC-8B series in discussions abo…

And yet they keep making Trump beg for peace, betcha he will announce another ceasefire that he won't honor soon...
 

Iran shut off the flow of goods in the Gulf and started charging for the right to pass. That's why they are the winners. They also did quite a bit of damage to Is-ra-hell and others. Sure they were hit back but I'm sure they expected it and planed for the event. Obviously it isn't enough to stop them.

Oh and Iran is honoring their cease fire agreements....LOL
 
Iran is in the Find Out stage of FAFO


They make agreements behind closed doors and then turn around and tell the press they never agreed to anything.

Obviously they are just trying to embarrass Trump by making him claim they have an agreement and then denying it.

But there's something about being bombed into oblivion that will knock the arrogant BS right out of you.

Trump's message the last few days has been this: "We can break everything you have and you can't do anything about it so you need to stop messing around."
 
Yeah start with the bridges and power plants. God help the innocent Iranians caught up in this sh!t.
 
Except, we can't, they shoot back and break tons of our stuff too, their neighbors that host US bases have their stuff broken too, Trump will beg for peace like the last 4 or 5 times...

The fight over Hormuz boils down to one poorly worded clause in Trump’s deal​

President Trump’s memorandum of understanding with Iran was supposed to open the Strait of Hormuz and relieve the pressure on the global economy. Instead, it set off a test of wills that has exploded into violence twice in the past two weeks.

The root of the dispute is Paragraph 5, which says Iran will make arrangements to restore shipping through the strategic waterway and then work with Oman to determine how to administer it in the future. But it also includes an Iranian pledge to ensure safe passage and remove military obstacles such as mines.

Syria deal gives Trump potential route to bypass Hormuz​

When Donald Trump sat down with Syria’s president this week, he was not in a good mood.

Just hours earlier, the Iranian “scum” – as the US president called them – had blown their chance at peace, and the ceasefire was annulled after Tehran fired at vessels in the Strait of Hormuz.

But Ahmed al-Sharaa, who once had a $10m (£7.5m) US bounty on his head, has become a firm favourite, and a potential solution to the US president’s greatest problem: finding a way to loosen Tehran’s chokehold on a key conduit for shipments of gas and oil.

In Mr Trump’s eyes, he is “fantastic” and has done a “great job” bringing together a country that was “a real mess, very disjointed”.

Trump doesn't care about the stuff of the US Iran breaks.

He wants to pull back from having bases across the globe.

If Iran destroys the bases, so what? We're leaving....
 

How do you know they made the agreements? Most honest reporting out of the area stated they were hardly even present at some of these so called meetings. Nah, there is a lot more going on there.

Could be rouge DS elements there in the Country, could be the military IRGC, who knows but its not like they are just one group.

This is true. 3 maybe 4 'groups' have been mentioned in videos.

This is 'the problem'. The 1st and 2nd tier got eliminated, so now they're scrambling to see who takes point.
 
Some hajis arw going rogue while the administrators want peace and prosperity. The problem is there are still some hajis that will send their owns kids in bomb vests in the name of a religion that is tyrannical.
 
I don't think the USSA can claim place blame on tyranny. We've been bombing shit around the world for 60 years. I think hypocrite comes to mind.

Formula 1 on the Front Lines

Hosting F1 races was supposed to showcase the Gulf's post-oil future. Instead, the Iran war canceled two Grand Prix races and two more are under threat. What does this mean for the future of hosting major global events in contested regions?

Vance is from Ohio and is different than Trump. I would expect a ground invasion into Iran from Vance.
