Oil tankers hit and burning. Thousands of ships reporting GPS and communication being attacked through electronic warfare.

Shitsabout to get really real.

In a few years I hope we say this was worth it.

The one clip I’ve seen of a tanker on fire was actually an Iranian tanker. Like maybe they missiled it on purpose to make it look bad.

Loyds of London has suspended insurance to boats traveling the straight of Hormuz.

If you’ll bomb your local girls school you’ll certainly bomb a tanker - they’re desperate

I don't see this lasting very much longer. Iran has no legitimate support from any country in the Middle East. The more problems they cause, they worse it gets for them.

I don’t know… how many pro western citizens are left after they massacred 30-50K last year? Who’s left to oppose whatever form the Shah’s government is about to take?

I just don’t see how airstrikes alone will bring about the change that’s needed there.

I agree, but you take out some 40 Key people, that's a serious start.

They are already asking to come back to the negotiation table. I wouldn’t come to the table until about 5000 more bombs were dropped on launchers, facilities, and military infrastructure if I were our government
I’d negotiate. But it would be a take it or leave it they won’t like. But they’ll take it anyway.

This^^

It's hard to fathom how many they have killed who participated in the protests over the last few months. The Iranian people are going to have to step up and do the dirty work themselves at some point, and I find it hard to believe they have the ability (the arms especially) to do it. Maybe they will.

All I know is that this is a really scary situation, and prayer will be needed now more than ever. Today's news of US military deaths was really hard to take, and make it even more real for us. I personally have a lot of confidence in our President, but it's going to be a tough road for us, and an even tougher road for Israel. As much as we all want regime change in Iran, it's going to come at a huge cost.

Correct. Their negotiating tactic is simply to negotiate BS to kick the can down the road.

Cripple them even more than we already have.

lot of the surrounding countries are silently applauding.

Starting a war with Iran to distract everyone from the fact the the pos is a pedo rapist is one of the most treasonous acts in human history.
Killing more children to hide the fact that pos47 is a pedo is classic MAGA.
You fools will support anything but the truth.

We were having indirect talks with them Thursday - https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2026...-agrees-no-nuclear-material-stockpile-oman-fm
“A peace deal is within our reach … if we just allow diplomacy the space it needs to get there,” Al Busaidi said in an interview with CBS News in Washington, DC, after Oman brokered the third round of indirect talks between the US and Iran in Geneva on Thursday.

A lot of low IQ dubmasses say stuff like this but are unable to provide any evidence of it. THAT is the distraction. But it only works for the rest of the idiots in the echo chamber.

What rule was broken to deserve a week ban? The post may have been unhinged, or full of assumptions, or unnecessarily aggressive, but that is no different from countless posts on SPS each day.

I dont think this was done to distract from the historically blundered Epstein debacle.
Related to the poster's claim though, I also dont understand why it was so imperative to bomb right now instead of months ago, months in the future, or not at all. A very classic thing to do in life and on SPS is to lob baseless accusations at that which you dont understand and dont have much info on.


I am working hard to not lob baseless accusations your way, since I dont have much info on what rule was broken to justify a week ban. Your clarification will help everyone here ensure you arent forced to ban more people moving forward, since everyone will better understand what is unacceptable and ban worthy.

Surely you agree that these Epstein files should have been released already and completely unredacted. I know it is all starting to come out but it never should have taken this long

Because he’s been warned to not throw grenades in threads like that.

Stay in your lane.

They/we did not just decide a few days ago to do this. Our task force shipped out a couple of months ago.
Been in the making for awhile.

1) What makes you think there needs to be a written rule to violate to be banned?
2) He said something ridiculous and inflammatory in an attempt to get a thread locked. Why give him a hecklers veto and let him shut down a thread rather than suspend him for being a jackass?

I think had we had the assets in place we would have bombed them a while ago when protests were at their peak. We didn't have the assets in the area, so lots of protesters were killed, and the chance of regime change is smaller now. Not sure how much smaller or how realistic it was to begin with. Mass killings of people that oppose you are unfortunately pretty effective at maintaining control. That's why you've seen virtually every communist country do it and part of the reason that communist regimes last so long even while their citizens live in miserable conditions.

It speaks volumes that no one wants them released including the current administration.
Those tentacles run deep and the whole debacle should unify the common folks against the elite throughout both parties who operate with impunity because they have deep pockets. However, I suspect most of us will be content being led to wage war against the other half of our country as directed by party leaders. That's the real distraction!
