  • U.S. is allowing Iranian tankers through Strait of Hormuz, says Bessent

    From cnbc.com

    The United States is allowing Iranian oil tankers to transit the Strait of Hormuz, Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent told CNBC in an interview Monday. “The Iranian ships have been getting out already, and we’ve let that happen to supply the rest of the world,” Bessent told CNBC’s Brian Sullivan. Tanker traffic through the Strait has plunged as Iran attacks commercial ships in the Persian Gulf. But the Islamic Republic has continued to export millions of barrels of oil through the narrow sea route despite the large U.S. Navy presence in the region.

U.S. intelligence shows Iran's late supreme leader was wary of his son taking power, sources say https://www.cbsnews.com/news/us-inte...r-sources-say/
U.S. intelligence is telling Trump what he doesn't want to hear

Two weeks of bombing. 15,000 targets destroyed.

Khamenei killed. Navy sunk.

And the classified assessment landing on Trump's desk says the regime will survive, possibly more radical and entrenched than before.

The IRGC is far from cracking. It's actually consolidating.

The diplomats inside Iran who favored negotiation have been discredited.

The hardliners are stronger.

The worst part? Trump was told this would happen before he gave the green light.

Gulf allies are furious. The regime still stands.

And the Strait is still closed. This war is becoming exactly what Iran wanted: a fight of endurance America can't afford to lose but can't seem to win.

His point is that Washington Post is the Bible and we should follow its teachings.


Fun fact: I and other guys on this forum have no influence on the parties of this war.
Wishing for this to happen or not will not change the outcome.
Pulling our hair out and yelling angrily or celebrating in delight also will not get us anywhere.
We are just spectators on the sideline no matter what Washington Post or anyone else says.

So, Nick, you need to take a chill pill and relax.

Apparently Ali Khamenei left a will in which he demanded that Mojtaba Khamenei not be appointed as the Supreme Leader because he is not wise enough and has personal issues that would make it difficult for him to be the Supreme Leader. Apparently, those personal issues are that he is gay… completely real.

Beggars can't be choosers.
Want the regime gone.
What ethical choice is there?
New Zealand gonna do it? Nepal? Vatican?
Why do you want them around?
How do they benefit you?

Btw, IRGC, aka the regime's backbone is being broken.
They can't even pay their armed employees.
They aren't fighting in jungles and feeding themselves lizards.
This regime is not some self repairing super hero.
Maybe in your dreams.

Things are not looking good for the Iranian regime.
It is sputtering out of control.
It is looking more and more like it is brain-dead and on life support, kinda like the new Ayatollah.

Catch-22

Actually, this is true, they could have bombed those tankers - but many tankers are constructed in complex shell-company structures, making targeting them risky, as they could be owned by other parties.

Listen stupid, if I call you braindead moron, like what you are, I cant claim in the next sentence that you are brilliant - this is oxymoron, a logical contradiction.

You can try to jijutsu this however you want, but it just shows how you stupid you are - the only thing left is brain-rot propaganda that is on par with MAGA.
